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.

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.

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)

Taylor Swift concerts cancelled (107,163) by Stacey from USA Yes. Clones. That perfectly describes the music scene today. No distinct sounds. I listen to a local radio station that plays hits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. What a diverse listening experience. (Friday 9 August 2024; 03:01) this is a reply to message 107,161

Taylor Swift concerts cancelled (107,161) by Jamie from UK Very sad times we live in. How did it get to this. And your [sic] right, there was something for everyone in the 90's, now everything is the same and a clone of each other. (Friday 9 August 2024; 02:11)

Taylor Swift concerts cancelled (107,158) by Stacey from USA Seriously so sad the times we live in. I remember growing up in the 80s and 90s. Life was so simple. Kids had to get creative, use their imaginations to have fun. We rode bikes. We used the street light to tell us it was time to come inside. I guess I'm a fan of the 90s because there was talent on the radio, not just Mariah. Real talent not needing technology to do the work due them. Toward the end of the decade, things began to change. Plus, I remember in the 90s there was music for everyone. Grunge. Pop. R&B. Gangsta Rap. Everyone had something. Anyway, I hope MC returns to her 90s roots with an updated current twist. If that never happens, I still have a lot of MC music to listen to over and over again. (Friday 9 August 2024; 00:47) this is a reply to message 107,155

Taylor Swift concerts cancelled (107,155) by MusicfanJ from Germany Have you heard about this? Three concerts are cancelled because of danger of terror in Vienna. I feel for those 200.000 people who just wanted to have a good time. I'm so sick of such news, every day. That's another reason why I miss the 90ies. You could go everywhere without having a bad feeling. It's such a shame what's going on nowadays. Sorry off topic, but I wanted to share this. (Thursday 8 August 2024; 10:06)

Return to roots (107,131) by Stacey from USA I could not have said it any better. Go back and read Jamie's post again. It's how a lot of us long time fans feel. (Wednesday 7 August 2024; 02:37) this is a reply to message 107,117

Return to roots (107,117) by Jamie from UK I was just listening to Music Box and Emotions in the gym, and it got me thinking why Mariah never returned to doing a mainly ballad album with a few uptempo numbers. Yes she likes RnB but that doesn't mean it has to be your main focus for the rest of your career. Those types of albums worked for her and it's a shame she got stuck in the same RnB vibe for so long. Going back to a ballad album and then next album after that could have been more RnB. Do you think it's more to do with proving to Tommy that she can make it no matter what? I just think it would have been nice for her to experiment a bit more over the years, show us she's still got that soul sound she had on Emotions and the heart wrenching lyrics of Music Box. Just seems to me she made up her mind to break away from what she was and take a completely new direction and leave her core fan base behind. I'm grateful for the music we've had over the years but it would have been nice and I think beneficial to her career/likability with the general public had she not complete abandoned the image and music she was most famous for. Give us back that Soul influenced, Gospel loving Mariah that we knew and mix it with some RnB and you will have some happy lambs. I get she was affected by Tommy but that was 28 years ago now. Yes she's had some great success since but the diva show and lackluster songs are not working for her anymore. Surely she must see that. She always reflects on the great early days of her career in a positive way now, she needs to dig deep into herself and bring out the caring likeable lady she once was. (Monday 5 August 2024; 18:25)

Told y'all (107,098) by Stacey from USA Sometimes you just have to sit back and quietly watch all the crazy conspiracy theories come true. (Sunday 4 August 2024; 05:48) this is a reply to message 107,095

Told y'all (107,095) by T from USA After she released the Yes, And remix I told you that she wasn't going to release a new album this year but instead concentrate on festivals, one off concerts and Vegas until it's time for Christmas. Everyone tried to insult me and said I was being negative when I was only telling the truth. I think some of you need to reassess your relationship with the truth and being able to accept it. It's too bad most lambs did nothing to support her two musical remix recordings this year to hold us over because Mariah won't be releasing a full album of new material until 2026. That's just the truth. Take it or leave it. (Saturday 3 August 2024; 21:36)

Article: Mariah celebrates 30th anniversary of "Merry Christmas" (107,092) by Stacey from USA I think at this point in her career, she should celebrate album anniversaries. Release more Rarities-type albums. Dig into that dang vault, lol. "I'm so excited"' just thinking about what she could possibly release for Daydream's 30th next year. Ya know Daydream and me go back like babies n' pacifiers. (Saturday 3 August 2024; 00:40) this is a reply to message 107,091

Article: Mariah celebrates 30th anniversary of "Merry Christmas" (107,091) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC is using her Queen of Christmas desigination and album anniversaries to work for her benefit. I am going to buy a ticket to see MC in Austin. I suppose Friday, November 8th or 15th will have something special released on one of those days. (Friday 2 August 2024; 23:11)

Christmas shows (107,090) by Stacey from USA I posted awhile back I'll be shocked if we ever see MC16 because with this Christmas concert news, you know where her head is. I can't blame her, though. She'll make more money these days milking the Christmas cash cow than releasing an album. (Friday 2 August 2024; 23:01) this is a reply to message 107,086

Christmas shows (107,086) by Nick G from Germany Well, as I said, she becomes more and more Joan Crawfish. MC is er Baby Jane. RIP #16. (Friday 2 August 2024; 17:28)

If It’s Over? (107,089) by Stacey from USA Why thank you for calling me a kid. Best compliment ever, lol. (Friday 2 August 2024; 22:55) this is a reply to message 107,083

If It’s Over? (107,083) by TJ from Norway You're just a kid. I was older. (Friday 2 August 2024; 14:26)

If It’s Over? (107,078) by Stacey from USA I was 18 when Daydream was released. I am now 46. Talk about feeling old. (Thursday 1 August 2024; 22:30) this is a reply to message 107,074

If It’s Over? (107,074) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, it is a very long time. I became a fan with Daydream and sometimes I can't believe it's been such a long time. I grew up with her music. I also can never let Mariah go. I just want the best for her. If you're a fan/lamb for such a long time it's really a special feeling. (Thursday 1 August 2024; 17:53)
