Loving the Christmas merch.
I'm leaning towards a snow globe, the inflatable, and It's Time t-shirt.
Can't wait to see her in concert this December.

My one complaint is the snow globes apparently don't have music. Why wouldn't they have made them like music boxes and have one play "AIWFCIY" and one play "Miss You Most" or something? The inflatable is killing me lol! I don't really have a front yard so I won't get it, but I love that they did one. Anyway, here is the Drew interview: I see Drew is like Kelly in that they both talk through most of their 'interviews' and don't do much actual interviewing. Blah. |

Liking the availability of the Christmas merch via Amazon however...she's teetering very close to Ebony Scrooge with some of these prices....
Mama needs to be careful because it's giving Taylor levels of exploitation (I love Mimi don't ever get that twisted)

I’m excited about the It’s Time video. I can’t wait to see what they came up with for it tomorrow.

I agree with you about the snow globes. I gotta have the inflatable it's adorable even if it I don't have a front yard it'll go somewhere in my house. LOL I'll pass on the Drew interview because I figure as much she wouldn't let Mariah get a word in. |

I truly find her merchandise to be tacky. It cheapens her legendary brand. Do brand deals and selective top quality merch but leave the tacky in your face selling if merch to the less fortunate in the industry. I'm here for the music and tours tho

It’s cute, but I do wish she’d time these when people are waking up tomorrow, not when most of the country is still in full blown Halloween night mode. I’m seeing a little shade towards it for that on my feeds…

It certainly had the budget and while it's enjoyable i feel like it lacks the comedic touch and cheery tone of the previous ones. It is like a glossy ad as it's intended to be i guess having a sponsor and all.

I like the mixture of straightforward ones some year and humorous ones in other years. I think if she went for a comedic element every year, it would become harder to match the energy.

Morticia Carey! Bianca’s older sister? Lol
Love it, the tango sequence is so good, anything that gets Mimi moving around these days is great tbh.

Yeah, I love it. I definitely thought "Morticia" like The Black Bird It can't be easy to come up with new ideas each year, particularly after last year's nod to Mariah being thawed out for the holidays since that's such a meme. I also don't take online grumblings seriously because some people will always complain; in particular we've heard bitching about "AIWFCIY" being overplayed for years now. It's not going anywhere, but people will still bitch. |

I hope this means Mariah's team is working with Spotify this season.

I'm fine as long as Lee's team isn't doing any shenanigans like last year.
I'm not "expecting" Mariah's team to do anything with Spotify because that might mean more costly/pricey promo that I'm not sure they are willing to spend. Hopefully the song can squeeze in two weeks this season on its own merit. If not, life goes on.

I hope this means iHeart radio is giving full support: I love the Halloween version of the "AIWFCIY" instrumental. I'd love an actual instrumental of that to be put on streaming, even if it's just 1 minute long or something. It's too bad Michael Jackson isn't alive as they could do an "It's time" that moves from "Thriller" to "AIWFCIY." I guess Mariah could still do it with permission, but I mean with MJ actually involved. I guess it could be done with Rihanna and move from "Disturbia" to "AIWFCIY." Or maybe something with Ghostbusters. I'm fine as long as Lee's team isn't doing any shenanigans like last year. There is a new vinyl single for "RATCT." I haven't looked into when it ships. |

That's clean promo. If loads of people are willing to buy that vinyl from Miss Lee, then she deserves the #1 spot. lol
Of course, I'm referring to any shenanigans on any of these streaming services. I'd rather not see any playlisting manipulation by either song. Just let both songs speak for themselves and see who comes out on top.
But saying all of that, because this is an anniversary year, I hope they go all out as far as promo, even if that means billboards in all major downtown cities and playing the song during commercials of NFL games.
