  6. Walter October 30, 2010

    I can’t wait until Mariallah Messiah Carey release this album.

  7. sugarwalls October 30, 2010

    She’s the benchmark for a successful artist and she kept it so high that no one in todays roster of artist can even be near it…
    She doesn’t have to prove anything anymore!
    and how sweet it is to live with Mariah’s song playing in the background!

  8. Lamb4ever October 30, 2010

    Thank you for the videos! Marc Shaiman: Mariah Carey is music in human form. I agree!!! It’s amazing to see how she comes up with tunes and beats to craft a song.

  9. perry October 30, 2010

    She just seems so immature and naive. You’re a 40 year old woman Mariah, not a five year old girl. Grow up.

  10. Sarah October 30, 2010

    Those videos were cool but I’m disappointed. I thought the videos would include footage of Mariah actually recording the song. None of that footage was included and all we saw was of all them fooling around in the studio. It would have been very nice to see Mariah singing behind the scenes.

    I won’t have my copy of the album until Tuesday, but I know I won’t be watching the DVD much.

    Her mom is beautiful!

  11. Sarah October 30, 2010

    Perry and others took the time to watch these videos. Wow. You guys really love Mariah. Be sure to get your copy of MCIIU next Tuesday.

  12. Doomed to flop harder than Glitter October 30, 2010

    THE WORST CHRISTMAS ALBUM EVER ….

    F L O P alert !!! 🙁

  13. Review: 2 out of 5 October 30, 2010

    Mariah + photoshop cover x old footage = Hilarious Failed !

  14. snooki October 30, 2010

    Poor cow!!! Poor disgusting ugly cow!

  15. Billy Gaga October 30, 2010

    She will stay just in the 150k range. 🙂

  16. ONE CHILD October 30, 2010

    Mariahs album won’t open with big numbers but wait till December lol

  17. mgaskwater October 30, 2010

    I really enjoy watching her getting involve with the production of the music. The money that you pay in buying her album is definitely worth it.

    @Dr. Fenty

    Don’t you have a dying goat to stan for. Instead of worrying about what Mariah Carey is doing with her life how about you worry about helping that horrid vocalist of yours selling atleasr 200,000 copies in the first week.

    Mariah will never have half the success or talent that Mariah Carey has or had(depending on how u look at it).

    And that goes for the rest you BISHES too.

    It’s a shame when the legends don’t even get the respect and honor that they EARNED a long time ago from pathetic losers who spend there life behind a computer screen.

  19. Miss Chick Boom October 30, 2010

    Correction

    *Rihanna will never have half the success or talent that Mariah Carey has or had(depending on how u look at it).

  20. stay pressed October 30, 2010

    I stan for Mimi but I hate how she brings up religion or how religious she is. No one gives a f-ck. keep it to yourself and stop quoting the bible, it’s super annoying.

  21. ranjeet October 30, 2010

    At that rihanna stan in the corner :

    Thing, if Fenty manages to sell even 1/7th of Carey’s total career album sales , she’ll find herself lucky.

    so what’s YOUR prolem ?

    Does it make you sad that Carey is the 10th (or 11th considering U2 sold a couple million more – still unclear) BEST SELLING MUSICAL ACT in the history of all music and rihanna won’t be anywhere near the top 75??

  22. Bobby from Bulgaria October 30, 2010

    HATE shows WEAKNESS…

    So many WEAK people here… I feel sorry for them… Ha ha, NO I DON’T… 🙂

  23. KELENDRIA ROWLAND October 30, 2010

    Good luck Mariah! The album is flawless, just like her first Xmas album

  24. SparkD October 30, 2010

    I truly enjoyed this!

  25. Bee October 30, 2010

    Stay Pressed – “I stan for Mimi but I hate how she brings up religion or how religious she is. No one gives a f-ck. keep it to yourself and stop quoting the bible, it’s super annoying.”.

    Too bad for you. No one else really seems to have a problem with it. Religion is a HUGE part of many people’s lives. It’s a part of who Mariah is. It keeps many people going and it is what inspires MC to write a lot of her songs. And this is a CHRISTMAS album. Christmas = celebration of Jesus’ birth = Christianity = Religion. So get with it, deal with it, ignore it, or go home 🙂

    On another note, it’s always fun to see Mimi working on her albums and in the studio. Everyone seems to really enjoy it and have a good time 🙂

  28. Beyonce No1 October 30, 2010

    Guess what? Lambs are desperate trying to save MooMoo’s album till they post a lame story like this….behind the scene…overplay the pregnancy story…

    Sorry for their lost…she will be forgotten just like Janet, Celine and Aretha.

  29. Bee October 30, 2010

    “Sorry for their lost…she will be forgotten just like Janet, Celine and Aretha.” This statement…LOL smh. Definition of a stan – always making delusional, completely ridiculous statements.

  30. G.U.S October 30, 2010

  36. Bobby from Bulgaria October 31, 2010

  39. Arnulfomchale.pen.Io June 8, 2014

    While it probably wasn’t as boring as rosi and dwile
    my run of the hugely popular Super Girl contest finished on Friday.
    B*** that is not as benign as it seems.
