About Stacey from USA: Been a fan since 1993. Favorite albums include Daydream, TEOM, and Music Box. I love a good discussion, but won't stand for hateful comments because we disagree. I am too old to deal with drama and so are you. Keep it real with me and we'll have some fun. Peace.

New Year's pic post (107,937) by Stacey from USA Just because Dolly can doesn't mean she should. (Monday 6 January 2025; 04:23) this is a reply to message 107,930

New Year's pic post (107,930) by Robert-Anthony from United States If Dolly Parton can do this at 78, then MC should be able to do it at 55. MC should be able to have some fun in her late 50s. (Sunday 5 January 2025; 15:25)

New Year's pic post (107,936) by Stacey from USA Well said. (Monday 6 January 2025; 04:22) this is a reply to message 107,932

New Year's pic post (107,932) by MusicfanJ from Germany Well, you can look classy and have fun too. I hope her next outfit is more classy. Mariah is so beautiful she [doesn't] need that look. But I know tastes are different. I'm hoping for new music this year. (Sunday 5 January 2025; 19:18)

Article: Mariah Carey shares busty New Year's post (107,925) by Stacey from USA Don't get me wrong. MC is beautiful. But instead of looking at her face, overall look, our eyes are drawn elsewhere. I don't understand it. I get Tommy pulled her so far one way, but that doesn't mean you have to swing the pendulum so far the other way. Find a nice middle ground. Bring back some denim, ala Butterfly era looks. (Saturday 4 January 2025; 22:30) this is a reply to message 107,920

Article: Mariah Carey shares busty New Year's post (107,920) by MusicfanJ from Germany I thought the same. Less is more. But I love the smile. (Saturday 4 January 2025; 16:50)

Rare Whenever You Call video (107,924) by Stacey from USA Such a beautiful and hard song to sing live, and she hit a home run. I miss that look, jeans and a tank top. So simple yet such a powerful outfit. I wish we had more of that today. (Saturday 4 January 2025; 22:27) this is a reply to message 107,919

Rare Whenever You Call video (107,919) by Shezz from Pk I just came across this recently posted video from the Perth Butterfly concert - I don't know if it's new or been around for a while. Her voice was definitely tired and worn out but she soldiered on (98% live) and her rasp was still pretty. The climax audio transition was tough to watch - not too smooth in the early days I suppose but still a beautiful performance of an amazing song. Also she looked so gorgeous here - no frills no elaborate impractical gowns just a simple white top and a pair of jeans. (Saturday 4 January 2025; 13:04)

Article: Mariah Carey shares busty New Year's post (107,916) by Stacey from USA Yes stunning. But uh I could do without all the girls front and center. Not a fan. (Saturday 4 January 2025; 02:47) this is a reply to message 107,912

Article: Mariah Carey shares busty New Year's post (107,912) by Zachariah from Croatia Simply stunning. (Friday 3 January 2025; 13:03)

Merry Christmas SACD (107,892) by Stacey from USA Same. I am trying to hold my expectations in check for Daydream's 30th anniversary. It's hard, though. I get so excited at the thought of what MC may be hiding in the vault. (Sunday 29 December 2024; 00:58) this is a reply to message 107,887

Merry Christmas SACD (107,887) by Bill from the UK Thank you gents, yes all is well with me thanks. Wishing you all the best for the year ahead. If there's no new music from Mariah in 2025, here's hoping Daydream gets an anniversary release with my beautiful London tour date added as a bonus audio CD. I would probably die of happiness. It's still one of the best days of my life, always will be. (Saturday 28 December 2024; 12:40)

Crystal ball prediction (107,874) by Stacey from USA I just posted about this very thing. AIWFCIY is cemented as a classic along with Nat King Cole's version of The Christmas song or Bing Crosby singing White Christmas. You can't think of Christmas without those songs. Truly amazing and just another example of MC's talent to create an original holiday song that increases in popularity 30 years after its release. Enjoy the spoils year after year. (Thursday 26 December 2024; 22:37) this is a reply to message 107,868

Crystal ball prediction (107,868) by Chicago Lamb from USA Mariah's AIWFC goes #1 every year, the rest of the decade and every now/then beyond. Billboard honors her with a 3rd "Song of the Decade" for 2020's. She'll be the only artist in our lifetimes to have 3, OSD, WBT, and AIWFC. In addition, more artist weeks at #1 than anyone could touch for generations. How many weeks can AIWFC touch #1? A possible 18th this year. But beyond it's anyone guess. 30, 40, 50? (Thursday 26 December 2024; 13:21)

Last Christmas (107,873) by Stacey from USA Numbers truly don't lie. What an amazing stat to look at. Thanks for sharing, Edward. It's never bothered me to see MC become a one trick item. Her career accomplishments will never be duplicated. Christmas is a holiday that comes around every year. Her success is celebrated every year. To see a song become more popular then when it was released 30 years ago is truly is what's cool. My 16 year old daughter doesn't care for MC. Not her kind of music. But yet, she loves AIWFCIY, and will sing to it every year. Who else comes close to that? No one. (Thursday 26 December 2024; 22:32) this is a reply to message 107,865

Last Christmas (107,865) by Edward from USA I had no idea they were giving "Last Christmas" a push with multiple releases this year. You'd think people might be getting tired of "AIWFCIY", but judging by its streaming numbers over the years, it's actually getting more popular every year. "AIWFCIY" performance on Global Spotify on December 24th over the years: 2024: #1 - 24.86M 2023: #1 - 23.7M 2022: #1 - 21.27M 2021: #1 - 17.42M 2020: #1 - 17.22M 2019: #1 - 12.02M 2018: #1 - 10.81M 2017: #1 - 8.06M Numbers don't lie. (Thursday 26 December 2024; 02:57)

Have you heard? (107,775) by Stacey from USA I can neither confirm nor deny this rumor, lol. MC's version of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town is also known to cause issues during driving. Not that I would know. (Wednesday 11 December 2024; 04:04) this is a reply to message 107,773

Have you heard? (107,773) by TJ from Norway I just read that it's dangerous to drive and listen to Christmas music. AIWFCIY is the second most dangerous one. Haha. (Tuesday 10 December 2024; 18:45)

Marc Shaiman (107,766) by Stacey from USA Agreed. Christmas Time Air Again is a beautiful song. I remember listening to MCIIY the first time all the way through. One Child caused me to stop and replay once more before continuing on. (Monday 9 December 2024; 19:03) this is a reply to message 107,763

Marc Shaiman (107,763) by Edward from USA Unlike Walter Afanasieff, Marc Shaiman brings a unique touch as an exceptional lyricist. "Christmas Time Is in the Air Again" and "One Child" stand out as the best written and produced tracks among the four original songs on the album. These songs come closest to recapturing the musical quality of the Merry Christmas album from 1994. (Monday 9 December 2024; 02:15)

AIWFCIY ringtone (107,705) by Stacey from USA I put together a pretty good cut and paste job ringtone for AIWFCIY. If you're interested, post your email address and I'll send it to you. (Monday 25 November 2024; 06:54)

New music? (107,686) by Stacey from USA I came across a E. News report about Jason Kelce's duet with Stevie Nicks "dethroned" MC off the top of the iTunes chart. I had to laugh. When Kelce's song hits #1 on Billboard Hot 100 chart 25 years after its release, then you can talk about dethroning the queen. Until then, you can bow before the queen, lol. (Thursday 21 November 2024; 19:41) this is a reply to message 107,675

New music? (107,675) by MusicfanJ from Germany Absolutely. It's the same with the "home alone" movie. I saw it 1990 in cinema as a little kid and I still love it. It's a classic. Mariah's AIWFCIY is another classic during the Christmas season forever. No matter to which number it climbs on the charts. It's music history. (Wednesday 20 November 2024; 18:05)

New music? (107,678) by Stacey from USA Huh? *scratching my head* Either I am ready so ready for the Thanksgiving holiday or I am a simple minded special education, but that post made zero sense. (Thursday 21 November 2024; 03:49) this is a reply to message 107,672

New music? (107,672) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States Those 2 obsessed fans aren't obsessed with the song. I posit that they are obsessed with the para-social "power" it brings. It allows those lambs a few weeks of ???? on the competition using chart data ("sleigh queen", "your fav could never", "queen of charts", etc.). Then they are spend the rest of the year saying charts don't matter and Mariah has nothing left to prove. (Wednesday 20 November 2024; 13:01)

New music? (107,668) by Stacey from USA I was listening to AIWFCIY on the way home from work today and I had that very thought. It means nothing to me if the song's popularity changes each year. For a song to hit #1 25 years after its release, to increase in popularity as it gets older, cements its status as a once in a generation song. You can't think of Christmas without including the Christmas Song, without including White Christmas and yes without including AIWFCIY, especially when you add to the fact MC wrote the song. Timeless. (Tuesday 19 November 2024; 02:27) this is a reply to message 107,665

New music? (107,665) by Libra Lamb from USA This song is a perennial hit. It will always come back every year and it will probably always reach the number 1 spot at some point or another. I don't blame MC for promoting her Christmas music every year being that it's a cash cow. For every person tired of AIWFCIY there's at least two new obsessed fans. I wouldn't ever worry about this classic. (Monday 18 November 2024; 16:34)

It's time (107,580) by Stacey from USA I love it. I look forward to these skits each year. I love it because even though she didn't start this whole "It's Time" business, she saw it as something fun and ran with it. I just noticed the music she's dancing to with Gomez is based off of AIWFCIY. (Saturday 2 November 2024; 08:55) this is a reply to message 107,578

It's time (107,578) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's so cool. Mariah as Morticia, I love it. What a great it's time clip. It's fun to watch. Mariah and her team really did it again. (Friday 1 November 2024; 14:30)

World series (107,544) by Stacey from USA I know Mariah being a New York gal is going to root for her Yankees. But being from Southern California I have to root for my Dodgers. My dad took me to a Dodgers game on my 8th birthday. (Saturday 26 October 2024; 05:04)

Simple and classic (107,478) by Stacey from USA Agreed. I've watched the performance a lot over the past couple of days. The whole performance from the set to the arrangement to MC's appearance looked planned out. The whole thing came together. (Tuesday 8 October 2024; 18:24) this is a reply to message 107,477

Simple and classic (107,477) by MusicfanJ from Germany It was really enjoyable. She looked stunning (I love classic Mariah meets Hollywood diva and Charmbracelet) plus she sounded really good and prepared. That's all a longtime fan heart wants to see. The stage with the big M and the band was also fantastic. (Tuesday 8 October 2024; 17:15)

Simple and classic (107,469) by Stacey from USA Agreed. It was a great performance. (Monday 7 October 2024; 17:07) this is a reply to message 107,468

Simple and classic (107,468) by Edward from USA Mariah kept it simple and classic. She arranged the song accordingly to make difficult transitions smoother. I have the impression she really practiced for this one. One well delivered song was good enough for me. (Monday 7 October 2024; 15:51)

AMA's anticipation is high (107,458) by Stacey from USA No. You keep doing what makes you happy. Far as I can see, your posts are just fine. Just one bad apple, and do you know what we do with bad apples? Shake it off. (Monday 7 October 2024; 04:45) this is a reply to message 107,455

AMA's anticipation is high (107,455) by Robert-Anthony from United States Is that really the sentiment amongst the board members? Okay, I hear everyone loud and clear. Going forward, I will limit my posts. I don't want you to get to that point and you say "I don't know him." (Sunday 6 October 2024; 22:33)

MC social media clips (107,418) by Stacey from USA I am seeing a lot of random people posting various scenes (i.e. decorating for Fall, leaving their house on a blustery day, etc) and then you hear MC sing the first few notes. People are then seen looking up at the trees as if to say, what was that? The whole concept revolves around "she's thawing" premise. I love it. Just hearing those first few notes gets me excited too. (Friday 27 September 2024; 01:38)

Complex relationship (107,346) by Stacey from USA Anyone who has lost a family member knows the different feelings you can experience. While I miss my dad immensely I can't help but feel peace he's free from all the mental and physical illnesses he dealt with on Earth. Maybe in some ways this will free MC from that strain she often felt with her mom and sister. I hope she finds that peace one day. (Saturday 14 September 2024; 00:25) this is a reply to message 107,344

Complex relationship (107,344) by Jamie from UK Mariah is looking great in her recent posts, she seems quite relaxed. Whilst we will never know how she is truly feeling I'm wondering if what she's recently been through has been a weight lifted off her shoulders? She's said how complex her relationship with her mother was at times and I don't even need to go there with how strained her relationship with Alison was. Maybe the worry of trying to please her family whilst not coming across as a money sponge for them is more difficult than we can understand. I may be wrong but her spirit seems lifted at the moment. (Friday 13 September 2024; 18:25)

Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica) (107,335) by Stacey from USA I about did a spit take when the article said the Grammy's liked Mariah. Apparently the article's writer didn't watch the 1996 Grammys. MC got three Grammys for TEOM. She deserved more but I'm glad she won a couple. (Sunday 8 September 2024; 05:30) this is a reply to message 107,322

Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica) (107,322) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC should have won a Grammy for Glitter. Also, according to this article, TEOM was snubbed at Grammys in 2006. I wonder why no one has ever talked about it. (Friday 6 September 2024; 04:23)

Ms. Patti tribute (107,298) by Stacey from USA One of her best live performances for sure. (Monday 2 September 2024; 19:59) this is a reply to message 107,295

Ms. Patti tribute (107,295) by Robert-Anthony from United States I love this performance. (Sunday 1 September 2024; 11:03)

Thinking of you MC at this impossible time (107,291) by Stacey from USA Agreed. I lost my dad in 2018 at age 79. He suffered from long term anxiety and depression. I miss him terribly but am at peace knowing he's in a better place. I hope Mariah's sister and her mother can find that peace as well. Nothing can prepare you for what feelings you experience when you lose a parent. My hope is that Mariah can find peace and use her music for her own therapy and healing as she has done for all of us. (Saturday 31 August 2024; 02:51) this is a reply to message 107,284

Thinking of you MC at this impossible time (107,284) by Brad from USA The day one loses their mother is the worst day of a person's life. No matter the circumstance of their communications at the time. It ends an entire part of your life irretrievably, divests one of the purest of loves and can dull the sense of what life is and holds moving forward. But things do continue on, even if all the colors of life are forever muted. I know this because I lost my beloved mother nearly two years ago. And this is how it has felt for me to continue forward. I cannot speak to what it is like to have such loss compounded by the loss of another family member such as a sibling. I think most of us can only imagine the sense of unmitigated sadness and loss. I hope we can all be the better of who we are and only offer MC the unspoken words of support and unparalleled love she has always sensed from all of us, the truest of her forever fans. (Wednesday 28 August 2024; 04:03)

Saved (107,201) by Stacey from USA I just remember there is only one you. I suffer from anxiety and depression. So did my dad. My 15 year old daughter is battling those demons as well. Sometimes in my darkest nights, I was so grateful the sun rose. It meant I made it through another night. Music in general is my therapy.

Saved (107,198) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway This community must be one of the best communities in the world. I listened to all of you, and just woke from one of the best nights of my life. Thanks to Jamie who reached out to me personally, and to all the other lambs, thank you again And Mariah, please never change, but you know that better than me, it's like a blessing from the skies, it's intense, and it's right. Your Christmas shows may be a bit early for me, but I hope to see you in 2025, maybe I'm just talking to myself, who knows, right? Lambs, keep on posting, we saved ourselves tonight, and that feels juuuust right. Have a splendid Monday, going to start on medication today, who cares if I might gain 20 pounds, It will all be off before first of November. (Monday 12 August 2024; 06:38)
