Mariah Carey Thread

[Faulkner]

A very interesting, chart nerd history of how the song finally hit No. 1 after 25 years:

And this clip made me CACKLE:

To be honest, I don't know if the fact she can only score a hit these days with a classic holiday song is something she should be proud about or want her lasting legacy to be. No one's been checking for new material from her for at least a decade, and she's never been a successful touring artist like Beyonce and Madonna. 

 

But hey, at least she's guaranteed revenue each year with this song, so she can laugh all the way to the bank with it. 

 

The funny thing is her former writing partner, Walter Afanasieff, who co-wrote/co-produced this song and most of Mariah's 90's hits continues to dispute many of Mariah's stories about the writing and development of this song.

Lots of Mariah gems flooding the interwebs with the release of her memoir but I just saw this.

Have any of you read (or heard) the book yet? I'm still waiting on it.

A potential holiday collab with Ariana and JHud?

Mariah had been looking for her video for Underneath the Stars for a number of years. Somehow I guess she finally found it, and uploaded it for fans.

Now "All I Want for Christmas" has hit #1 in the UK for the first time. And it is joined in the top 5 by two more Christmas songs, Wham! with "Last Christmas" and The Pogues & Kirsty McColl with "Fairytale of New York"

She (and "All I Want For Christmas") is still annoying. But the Collab with Ariana & Jennifer was greatness I gotta admit.

Thanks, @DRW50, for sharing.  It's a nice look back at Mariah before she had lapsed into parody.

I love Mariah, but J Hud stole that whole video. The hair. The voice. The 1920 glamour. The nails. Just great.
