Re: Amazon mini doc (91,597) (91,612) by 123 from USA There won't be another Walter collabo. He went to the press last Christmas stating Mariah is trying to erase him from history when it come to AIW. He's like I co-wrote the song, yet she clarified before that she wrote the song but shared credits with him as this is a common practice in the music industry among collaborators so that everyone gets a check. He cried about her not approving the song to be licensed as much as he would like and said he expected her to reach out to him eventually to do something for the anniversary. He's a pompous jerk. Why can't he reach out if he wants to be involved? He has dissed AIW in many interviews saying "it's not my favorite song I wrote" and also dissed the melodic structure saying it was basic and feared "real" musicians would diss it which is another swipe at her musicality as we all know she came up with it on her Casio keyboard. So you diss the song lyrics and melody but are mad when she doesn't reference you even though you didn't have much to do with it and are still getting 50% of the profits each year.

Happy times (91,611) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Times like this are truly happy times for MC and everyone who supports her. Who thought that during the Stella reign of terror we would celebrating a possible #1 to end a decade of twists and turns in Mariah’s world. I am so glad that Mariah has linked up with people who care about her, and not people who just see her as a gateway to their own possible success while MC looks like a laughing stock. Hopefully with all of these great things happening we can appreciate that our Mariah is still doing what she loves, and has not given up. Wishing the entire Archives family, a happy, and healthy holiday season, and a blessed, and a prosperous New Year. (Thursday 12 December 2019; 23:05)

Re: Amazon music doc (91,599) (91,610) by Stacey from USA Agree with you on this year's Christmas promotion. From all the footage being released to this mini-doc from Amazon, Mariah's PR team is on fire. I only hope this kind of theme of releasing rare videos, performances, etc continues when Daydream hits 25 years and so on. (Thursday 12 December 2019; 20:22)

AIWFCIY's chart position next week (91,609) by darrian liu from taiwan Early predictions say that she's gonna go number 1. I can't believe this. She's gonna end the decade with a number one, and open the next decade with a number one. Legend tingz. (Thursday 12 December 2019; 18:41)

Re: Millennials (91,600) (91,608) by darrian liu from taiwan Hi, Gen Z here, born in 2000, and very very much in love with Mariah. (Thursday 12 December 2019; 18:39)

Alexa play queen of Christmas (91,607) by MusicfanJ from Germany Have you seen this? I find it very funny. By the way Monroe looks so much like Mariah. Every year more like MC, so sweet. Rocky is of course sweet too. In a few days: Alexa play the new number one. (Thursday 12 December 2019; 18:26)

Re: Millennials (91,602) (91,606) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway No, Millenials are born in the 80's to the mid 90's, Gen Y comes after that. (Thursday 12 December 2019; 17:18)

AIWFCIY #1 in Norway (91,605) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway AIWFCIY is currently #1 on the Norwegian chart. It's the second consecutive year it hits the top spot, and is the only song of Mariah's that has went to #1 in Norway. Merry Christmas. (Thursday 12 December 2019; 17:15)

A little humour (91,604) by Warren from Trinidad & Tobago Saw this and thought the board might like it. There was an article on Buzzfeed and while discussing the best Christmas song in the comments a user wrote: "I don't want a lot for Christmas, all I want for Christmas is you." Mariah Carey, queen of shade since back then. (Thursday 12 December 2019; 14:02)

Re: Millennials (91,595) (91,602) by virgo.miss from australia Gen Y is born in the 80's to mid 90's. Millenials are those born around the turn of the millenium. (Thursday 12 December 2019; 08:59)

New AIWFCIY video (91,601) by enwar00 from usa Did y'all hear there's going to be a new video that's going to be realeased, directed by Joseph Khan? She said it's going to be her favorite video. What on earth? I wonder if it comes out on Friday. Make it happen Mimi. (Thursday 12 December 2019; 08:54)

Re: Millennials (91,595) (91,600) by Kaj Mandalia from UK Hi Matty. Yes I meant Gen Z. Ha ha. Well that generation who don't appreciate Mariah's contribution to music. (Thursday 12 December 2019; 08:42)

Re: Amazon music doc (91,521) (91,599) by Licia from USA I really enjoyed it. I wish it was longer, but it was still good. Even though it was small, I'm kind of glad she mentioned Walter A. I honestly wasn't expecting her to mention him at all. Regardless of whatever they are beefing about, he was a part of AIWFCIY (don't try to debate me on whether he contributed a little or a lot to the song, that's not my point). Anyway this was the Mariah's World I wanted and I want more. Team Mariah is working extra hard for the 19th #1. (Thursday 12 December 2019; 06:34)

Amazon mini doc and Billboard charts (91,598) by Jono from USA The mini-doc is fantastic, it can be found on YouTube here. The promo she's done for the 25th anniversary of AIWFCIY has been fantastic. Yes as lambs we all know the story behind the creation, but it's good to get it out to the public. Early Billboard predictions are saying she could hit #1 next week, which would be unbelievable considering there's still two tracking weeks before Christmas. Even if she doesn't get it next week, she'll most likely get it by that Christmas week - which incredibly, would give her the last #1 hit of the 2010s decade and the first of the 2020s. After she was ridiculed for her 2014 Rockefeller performance of the song, and her 2016 NYE performance, this would be a full circle moment. (Thursday 12 December 2019; 03:28)

Re: Amazon mini doc (91,591) (91,597) by Bobby A from United States This was so beautiful to watch. When I heard her say Walter A's name, it spoke to me their musical relationship that gave us so many beautiful songs. We are about to experience something beautiful next Monday when AIWFCIS becomes Mariah's 19th Number #1 Hot 100 song. After 25 years, this is going to be amazing for MC. What other artist has a song that resonates with millions of people every year and is a huge hit on the charts every year. Nobody but Mariah Carey. Now MC can we get another Walter A. collaboration in 2020? Randy Jackson make this happen. (Thursday 12 December 2019; 02:30)

Tips and tricks (91,596) by 123 from USA Here is a page someone made with tips and tricks fans can do to help that chart position. It includes an international lamb section so their efforts count. (Thursday 12 December 2019; 00:54)

Millennials (91,595) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Kaj Mandalia, aren't millennials a huge huge bulk of Mariah's fanbase? (Those born between 1981-1996.) As a millennial born in 1985, I was coming into my musical own during Mariah's massive Butterfly and Rainbow moment, then hitting the club during her Emancipation through to Obsessed Jump Smokers remix eras. Everyone my age grew up listening to Mariah everywhere, singing into their hair brushes while dancing in the mirrors as lip syncing children, and then listening to her bangers in the club. I think you're referring to Gen Z (1997-2012, so roughly 22-7 years old now). (Wednesday 11 December 2019; 22:12)

Streaming party starting today (91,594) by jaker20 from US It looks like is going to be very close this week and will boil down to literally just a few points. Lambs, the most legendary fanbase of all, it's time to get festive. Stream stream steam. (Wednesday 11 December 2019; 21:54)

AIWFCIY thesis (91,593) by Bill from the UK I swear I could write a thesis on this song and how good it is. I was listening to the unearthed extended version and who else has noticed this? The first head voice "you" as the song's crescendo is one note (with an embellishment at the end). The next "you" has a little trill at the beginning, making it two notes ending with an embellishment. The next one (the last you hear on the record) has two "trills", then the next one (extended version) has "three". For each "trill" she adds at the beginning of the note, the same amount of bars have passed in the song. She then ends with a straight "you", as per the opening of the outro. Is that not incredible musicianship? (Wednesday 11 December 2019; 19:38)

Re: AIWFCIY tour (91,583) (91,592) by Brad from USA I will see her tomorrow in CT at Mohegan. Ordered my 4 signed copies of AIWFCIY last night at 2am. Trying to do my part. (Wednesday 11 December 2019; 19:29)

Amazon mini doc (91,591) by Kaj Mandalia from UK What a beautiful 11 minutes of this mini doc hearing how a legend wrote a timeless masterpiece. So happy she mentioned Walter A as it gave some hope for a possible reunion in the future (yes me being hopeful). Truly pray this song finally gets the number 1 it so truly deserves so my fellow lambs please lets make it happen. This lady has contributed so much to music these millennials don’t even understand how much. She is a true gift from God. Mariah we lambs salute you. (Wednesday 11 December 2019; 19:12)

Re: AIWFCIY (91,587) (91,590) by ksquarred from paris I think she will also release a new music video for the song this week, directed by Joseph Kahn (#Beautiful). (Wednesday 11 December 2019; 17:41)

Re: AIWFCIY (91,587) (91,589) by SM from Citizen of the World Yes. Lambily let's get festive. Stream, stream, stream. (Wednesday 11 December 2019; 17:35)

Re: AIWFCIY (91,587) (91,588) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh she's definitely not playing this year. Brilliant step to push the song. I just watched her "Amazon documentary". It made me appreciate the song even more. Although I have a little overdose from all the repeat. Lol. But hey we'll stay festive with the MC and MC2 album. I wish all of you who are going to her Christmas show a wonderful time. MSG on 13th in New York, that should push AIWFCIY as well. (Wednesday 11 December 2019; 17:11)
