How does that confirm Ariana Grande, or even that J Hud worked with Mariah? I mean the odds are good, but I don't see how this confirms it.

I think her showing the AG and JH chairs confirmed it for me with a Christmas emoji plus JD saying she doing a Christmas special. On top of Alfred ariana photographers retweet Mariah's and then deleting it after press leaked is all I need.
But u can wait till the day it airs!

Giving Me Life is everything!! I get so excited when it comes on Mariah Radio on Apple Music, lol. I'm ready for Mariah to have her own Sirius/XM station; she has a vast enough catalog for it, and other artists have one.

I'm not saying I don't think it's real, I'm saying a clip of J Hud saying her nails were for a Christmas special in no way confirms she did a Christmas special with Mariah and Ariana. In conjunction with other stuff it of course adds to the likelihood, it just doesn't confirm anything in and of itself.

jenglisbe Nielsen Bookscan apparently does not collect eBook figures. USA Today's overall chart, however, includes digital versions. I wish Mimi would invite Brenda Lee to perform with her on the holiday special. The two women with the two most popular holiday songs would be .

That T-shirt makes the amazing Butterfly album look like it only produced one #1 hit!

Obsessed from MOAIA should be on that list. Same with #Beautiful from MIAMTEC. Caution (ft. Drake) could’ve been her 21st.
AIWFCIY an even number 22.

A lil about Loris Holland who produced ‘mesmerized’
"“A friend of mine was getting married. I told her I’d do a segue of songs. I got the best singers for our songs. At the end of it, the entire church got up and gave us a round of applause. One of the bride’s cousins was in the congregation. He was one of the background singers for Mariah Carey. He was impressed by our performance. At that time, Mariah’s first album was released, and she needed a choir to perform in the background for her upcoming performance at the Grammy Awards. I knew all the best singers and so I got them together…,” said Holland.
It was around this time, he said, that Carey was dealing with vocal problems and would only get as far as performing three songs before she became hoarse. Following her performance at the Grammy Awards, she was scheduled to do MTV Unplugged, a programme where popular artistes performed acoustic. The Grammy Awards performance was a hit and Tommy Mottola, former CEO of Sony Music and ex-husband of Carey, had approached Holland and asked that he assist in finding some background singers for Carey for MTV Unplugged.
After he found his group of singers, Holland had them practice their vocal training during rehearsals. Carey, he said, was one day across from them when she saw them doing vocal training and walked over. Holland encouraged her to give it a try and told her she needed to do the exercises daily.
Carey, he said, followed through with the vocal exercises which did wonders for her voice. Mottola, grateful for Holland’s help, asked what he could do for him. “I asked for a publishing deal with Sony Music,” said Holland. Mottola followed through and Holland was given a contract with the music company.
Holland later wrote three arrangements for Carey’s ‘Merry Christmas’ album, which featured one of the most popular Christmas hits of all time, “All I Want For Christmas Is You”. He also co-produced the album with writer and producer Walter Afanasieff. Carey’s album became the biggest Christmas album for pop music. Twenty-five years later, the album still remains a hit every Christmas and over the years has sold 50 million records worldwide.
Following his work with Carey, Holland later worked with Lauryn Hill on her landmark ‘Miseducation’ album, which went on to sell 20 million copies.
Holland has also closely worked with American Idol Judge, Randy Jackson as well. When Jackson’s career picked up with the American Idol television show, the two went their separate ways but have remained friends."

Why wasn’t this on Daydream?? It feels good to FINALLY have this on streaming. The label should push this as a single for the album tbh.

Wasn't there speculation "I'm That Chick" was initially supposed to be the lead single or am I misremembering? yep, that's what the label wanted, apparently. As of Migrate, I remember that blogger Perez Hilton saying something negative about it being the second single, and Mariah's response was something related to a "formula", it meant she would release a ballad as the second single, following the same formula from all (or almost all) the previous albums. Therefore, she had her fingers on the choice of Bye Bye as a single as well, I guess... I remember like it was yesterday she responding to him "I'm releasing a ballad as the second single, I'm not stupid darling" lol

Slipping Away really would have been the perfect single in between Always Be My Baby and Honey.

Slipping Away really would have been the perfect single in between Always Be My Baby and Honey. "Melt Away" would have been perfect, too, and it was even on the album! (No shade to "Forever" as I love it, but it wasn't a multi-genre single and didn't set up Butterfly.)

Slipping Away really would have been the perfect single in between Always Be My Baby and Honey. Definitely! I think it would have been a 4th #1 from Daydream and the perfect last single actually, imagine the remixes she would have produced for it urban and dance. Oh my god we were robbed

Slipping Away wouldn't have reached #1 at that time because "Macarena" was dominating the charts.

Its airplay wasn't too great, so in that sense it was at least a little vulnerable. Now, a fourth single from an album isn't likely to sell huge so I agree it wasn't a sure thing, but Mariah single at that time sold a lot (aided by remixes) so who knows?

Honestly, while I like "Slipping Away", I think it's a bit overrated by fans.
