AIWFCIY and “Merry Christmas” should be inducted to the Grammy hall of fame but I know she’s not in good terms with the recording academy. I hope it happens regardless.

Lucky you 😬 this is the entire Stella era summarized in one performance. lmao the dress she’s wearing is so ... it just doesn’t go with the song. The minute she turns around it’s like “whoa!” At least she got to show off that mommy make over Ohhhh boy that ensemble! 🙈 She was so sexual in that Christmas special (well, for the whole jigsaw era pretty much but that's been discussed ad nauseam). It was just too much. The way she's holding her stomach sucked in throughout, too, sticking out her butt, even when she's ducking to kiss Roe or holding Roc... LMFAO!! It's funny watching it now. I just love that song btw.

Also, “new” lamb here! Glad to finally join after perusing this message board for so long.

This part of the Elle article makes me think her memoir being turned into a Dickens-style movie could be really cool, especially with family and "AIWFCIY" as the end. It would actually be a cool holiday film in the lane of It's A Wonderful Life.

"Vision of Love" is iconic, and Tiffany and Mariah need to be in a movie together stat.

That song association game had me dying. I absolutely love that she doesn’t care about the clock running out and that she writes her own Christmas songs on the spot. I enjoyed it😩

They did that👏🏾 Tori Kelly is underrated imo. I thought i’d share because of Mariah’s influence in this performance.

The video doesn't fit this version of the song in my opinion. I feel like the scene from the movie is more fitting for the Firecracker version.

Wouldn’t it be great if Marc Shaiman co-produced Oh Santa and gave it that timeless girl group pop sound ala AIWFCIY and Christmas Time Is in The Air Again!
The original could be seen as the JD urban mix.

Clearly I mentally blocked the Stella era because I'm still surprised at how awful a time that was for me and I assume Mariah upon reflection. I never liked Stella from jump I'm surprised Mimi fell for that snake.
But that is old and love the Elle cover and title. Synonymous with Christmas and 4 decades at keeping her name at the front of the line regardless of current charts. Even without Christmas itself Mariah has done what most havent and that is still be talked about and relevant in their twilight years or if they dont achieve success commercially

Ironically the Candy version, which I've always regarded as her worst lead single, and still do, only started to grow on me this past summer, only for the gloriousness that is the Firecracker version to come out and make me forget all about the Candy version again. Those ABMB-esque chants as the intro and outro and the full voiced choruses are 🔥🔥🔥 I just fucking love this song!!!

The original could be seen as the JD urban mix. What has Marc Shaiman produced in that lane? And how is "CTIITAA" part of a girl group pop sound? Regardless, this isn't happening, but I know you love to live in that "what if" world so do you.

Super girly and flirty and FUN I love the Firecracker version minus the high-pitched “I want him, I want him, I need him I need him” section and the “wooo” chants. They take the song from cool and fun to OTT camp. I love all parts of the song, including the ones you mention. The charm of “Loverboy”, either version, *is* the campiness of it all though. If we wanted to make it un-camp we’d also have to remove memorable lyrics and Adlibs like “you’re my sugar daddy”, which I would never want to do without. The key addition to the FC version are the ABMB/Fantasy/Dreamlover like *do do da dum* chants, these made it campy + fun, cool, and catchy— the sample makes it more playful. Theyre also what I think would have let it have a chance at radio; imo they immediately pull you into the song and end it on a feel good note. Also, the “girl chanting” vocals coming back behind Mariah during the chorus was SUCH a winning move. Ugh. 😭 ❤️
