New Video: Mariah Carey – ‘Auld Lang Syne’ (A Must-See!)

Published: Wednesday 15th Dec 2010 by Sam

It’s no secret that Mariah Carey has released some awful videos over the years. After all, who could forget the shockingly bad clips for ‘H.A.T.E U’, ‘I Want To Know What Love Is’, among others. Ah, yes, ol’ Mimi has been quite a mess when it comes to her visual offerings as of late.

Nothing, however, tops the criminal clip released today for Carey’s ‘Auld Lang Syne’ –  a track lifted from her ‘Merry Christmas II You’ LP. All I’ll say is that if the singing ever hits the skids (looks at Mimi’s recent sales), a career in comedy may be her calling. For, the video is a complete and utter joke.

Check it out after the jump…

Oh Mimi. Clearly filmed and edited on Windows Movie Maker, this video was all sorts of wrong. From the cheap fireworks, to the juxtaposition of her dressed to impress, while standing in a mess, this was atrocious.

If ever there’s a lesson to be learned, it’s that less is ultimately more. Ol’ Mimi has been cranking out these recession-special ‘festive’ videos – one after the other; yet nothing is catching on (not even ‘Oh Santa’). Surely working select singles with solid videos and backing would be the way to go? And here was Mariah moaning on Twitter about the label not allowing her to release her Christmas vids a few weeks ago. After seeing this, I think I know why…

    I think the reason for the Extravagant diamonds are for the haters to say: The video might be cheap but sure you can not afford my diamonds!!!

    She sure lives in her head on Mimi Planet and the poor child will be raised on Mimi Planet.

  2. RF December 15, 2010

    Mariah, you are making it hard for me to love you. Please, oh please, come back to me!

  3. _MAXRIAH_ December 15, 2010

    Hmmm It’s in better quality that Kelly Rowland’s cheap as video for “Commander”. In any event, I quite enjoyed the vid. All I could do was smile.

    IN ANY EVENT… It seems like something that could play on the jumbo trons as she sings the song on stage. Think outside the box, SAMUEL.

  4. pinkpop December 15, 2010

    ^^ sam, in a second you got trent spitting s*** on you, how could you dare to critic MC 😉

  5. Mike December 15, 2010

    I dont think it was suppose to be an over the top expensive video….the purpose is just to show off the song…

    And Oh Santa is a great video….

    So clearly Sam you got to throw in some cheap hate on Mariah while Trent was away…..so sad…lol

  6. MissImpartial December 15, 2010

    @MAXRIAH_

    If thinking that makes you feel better even if it is not true. Kelly’s video was >>>>> better than that.

  7. Mike December 15, 2010

    Ok so i watched it again….that was just simple and fun….its a video thata gonna probably show for one day……WHAT THE F*** DID YOU EXPECT?

  8. CRBB December 15, 2010

    BWAHAHAHAH!!!!! funny vid….
    p.s _maxriah_…..STFU!!

  9. Jay2010 December 15, 2010

    I love the album, and the song, I don’t even care about the video, it’s obviously something that she did in a hurry, it ain’t pretty but WHO THE F*** CARES ?! the girl is pregnant, I didn’t even expect her to release any video from MCIIY, so don’t hate and go buy a copy of the album, it’s greatness.

  10. bee bee juice December 15, 2010

    forget the mess that is the video! what the hell in fool land is she done to such a classic song. it takes away from the power house voice she has.. shes fully past the hero years, she aint no class act no more! what a mess

  11. Rikk December 15, 2010

    There’s nothing wrong with the video!
    Sam & Trent. act. like little girls fighting over Mariah & Whitney
    I can’t take either one seriously.

  12. Hbf82 December 15, 2010

    Well, Oh Santa has more than 2.5 mil. Views on Utube. That’s more than Beyonce’s Listen video. So what’s your point?

  13. WorldWideWaddie.com December 15, 2010

    I was hoping that Mariah’s pregnancy would make her grow up a whole lot more. I guessed wrong. Where is Tommy Mattola???

  14. jewelz December 15, 2010

    lmaoo trent #STAYMAD. mariah needs to sit her pregnant ass down. her era is over!

  15. WorldWideWaddie.com December 15, 2010

    I can make a better video on my PC laptop.

  16. G.U.S December 15, 2010

    this video its horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but the song its very amazing, festive and powerful voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its the song of 31 dec.

  17. CRBB December 15, 2010

    @HBF82 you really using the amount of youtube hits on a different song & video to support this one?? and then you’ve got to throw beyonces name into it /: why cant u support your fav without trying to put others down… stan much?

  18. MCsavedmylife December 15, 2010

    Look, the point of the video was for it not to be serious at all. It’s a celebration song, with the rounding in of the New Year, not something like H.A.T.E.U. which is a bit more mellow. But it’s not that kind of song, so don’t expect an amazing. It’s just Mimi, pregnant, having fun in a video and actually dancing (to a certain extent) to bring in the new year. The fact that she is still working hard whilst pregnant tells me that she’s committed to this album just like any album, and she’s got more reason to celebrate this year.

  19. the kiddz December 15, 2010

    Ewww…what was that? Lol I knew this was Sam by reading the post, Trent would have found something, anything to justify this mess. But, being the faithful lamb that I am, this is going in my “it never happened safe” along with Glitter and the Hero remake.

  20. Robert December 15, 2010

    FINALLY! A post about Mariah that TRENT the F** didn’t post.

    You know if trent posted this… he would have said this is better and better than all the other videos that came out by Beyonce and others. His delusional ass.

  21. Infamous Doll December 15, 2010

    I couldnt even count how many times she touched and played with her hair in this vid. And can she get the gist that she now needs to wear longer dresses. She is pregnant so the only thing she should be showing offf is boobage, cause her legs are too large to look nice in those short dresses. Dont worry Mariah you will get your time to rock the short dresses again once you go back down, maybe wear something to her knees. Ive seen alot of celebrites with nice pregnancy dresses with the scrunch in the front and flows

  22. Aj299 December 15, 2010

    its prob the cheapest thing I’ve seen since “Spectacular”, but the song more than makes up for it. Mariah doesn’t and has never needed to be a visual artist. Ya’ll are so obsessed with what she looks like, and how much she needs to “grow up” when ya’ll sit here and jump on every post that goes up about her. There’s something NOT grown up about that, and you should look at your childish selves first. Anyways, its not bad to be a fun, youthful adult. I’m gonna act however the hell I want, I’m 25 and still act like a 15 yr old. THere’s nothing wrong with it! Go immerse yourselves in Riri and Ciara’s posts since they’re the REAL artists to you!

  23. MIkey December 15, 2010

    LMAO! Sam, your commentary on the video is pretty laughable. Number 1, since when has ANY of Mariah’s Christmas videos ever been a “big budget” affair? Look at the videos from her first album, they look like they were shot with a freakin home video camera…which is the POINT! The biggest budget video she’s ever had for a Christmas video was probably “Oh, Santa”.

    Secondly, when you’re promoting a Christmas album you have a VERY short period of time to get your promo across before it’s basically expired. Mariah and Def Jam basically have 2 more weeks to get the most sales out of this album as possible which is why they’re putting out the video for “Auld Lang Syne” (so people can become familiar with it before New Years….because after December 31st do you think people are gonna care about a “new years anthem”. Uhmm, no.)

    Thirdly, the freakin woman is PREGNANT! lmao! That’s not an excuse, but to expect a woman going through her first pregnancy (and a woman who has blatantly stated to the media that she feels very “uncomfortable” lately) I think Mariah’s been working her ass off promoting this project! Flying to all these events to record performances and giving interviews left and right, she’s been working like crazy WHILE being pregnant. It’s pretty tacky and, to be blatantly honest, “queeny” and “bitchy” to be criticizing a pregnant woman for a Christmas video that’s going to have the lifespan of 2 weeks. Get off your high horse.

  24. That FLOP Juice December 15, 2010

    O
    M
    G

    I adore Mariah. But this video is ridiculous…

    Oh Santa is a fantastic video, also like O Come All Ye… But this. Jeeez. You can kill people with this video.

    But I still love and support Mimi, because she is great and awesome!
    She should’ve released CHristmas music videos from the ABC Christmas Special, but not this one…

  25. Champagne Slurpee December 15, 2010

    Couldn’t have said it better Mikey 🙂

  26. royalkev December 15, 2010

    This woman is so Cheesy… I have to say though that she was more interesting in this clip than on her holiday special,even though I texted throughout most of the 4 minutes. She really should be able to entertain better, she’s the worst amongst her peers. I don’t get it.

  27. Aj299 December 15, 2010

    What peers? WHitney? Celine? They’re not entertaining

  28. ~aMaZiNG.Lee~ December 15, 2010

    What in the 99 cent special hell was this? Mariah and her folk should be ashamed of themselves? What sane person would actually release this crap? Her lip-synching wasn’t even good. I love you Mariah but CHILE………..

    @Miss Impartial

    Kelly Rowland’s video may have been better than this atrociousness but the point is Sam didn’t have ANYTHING negative to say about it. It was obvious that Commander was a recession-special as well, but of course Sam being the Kelly Rowland c****** licker he is thought the video was acceptable.

  29. Ariana December 15, 2010

    This video may have cost 2 cents but the song is great! I just wish IDJ would have invested more money on the vids; the music is awesome but a good video appeals to more general audience and as result the sales go up. Anyhow, we have always known Mariah’s videos are the best but seriously I couldn’t care less — what I love about her is her music.

  30. Ariana December 15, 2010

    sorry, on the previous comment I meant “Mariah’s videos aren’t the best….”

  31. S December 15, 2010

    I don’t think the video is great but hey it’s all in the name of promo for the album. As people have mentioned she only has a short space of time to promote this Christmas project and get them sales and from what I have read she is selling fairly well so good for her.
    Mariah is the type of artist that even tho this is a shockingly cheap video it will not affect her at all, it will only be out for like 2 weeks then will be forgotton.
    As a HUGE MC fan I hope she takes some time out next year and comes back with an absolute smash of an album… the voice is still there (as evidenced on the vocals on this current Christmas album) 🙂

  32. KL December 15, 2010

    I THINK ITS ACTUALLY CUTE..

    I GOT ME SOME NEW HAIR WIPING AND HIP TOUCHING MOVES FOR NYE!

    OBV ITS JUST A LITTLE VIDEO MADE FOR THE CLUBS TO PLAY AROUND MIDNIGHT, BC HELLOW ITS A NEW YEARS SONG, NOT GONNA BE A HIT ANY OTHER TIME OF THE YEAR.

  33. CiaraMedlies December 15, 2010

  35. KellyR December 15, 2010

    The worst Christmas album.. 2010.. 🙁

  36. WTF December 15, 2010

    She sounds horrible too. Not to mention she looks like a obese poodle !

  37. Nichole December 15, 2010

    Go, Mariah! Sam is just mad, and pressed because his diva is/was a former crackhead who’s vocals nowadays could easily be compared to the likes of Rihanna, and Britney Spears.

    Not to mention has-been Kelly Rowland, who can’t even get a hit of her own and has not been relevant since DC.

    Here is a piece taken from a great professional review that was given on Mariah’s Christmas special:

    THE voice
    Only one still relevant
    Diva throne

    W000t! Damn straight!

    Just curious, why did you even click on the link to read more?

  39. KELENDRIA ROWLAND December 15, 2010

    LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

    Sam is MAD, EXASPERATED, LIVID AND DEPRESSED that CRACKney can no longer outsing even the lowest of the low such as Britney!!!

    Dis video was LAME but still more interesting than CRACKney’s flop ass dull I LOOK TO FLOP video.

  40. NAS ( B Rockah Stan 4eva) December 15, 2010

    SAM, I HATE YOU SO GTFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  41. royalkev December 15, 2010

    @Aj299 yes, Mariah’s more intriguing peers like… Whitney, Celine and even Christina. They command a stage when they perform and captivate you with how engrossed they are in the song. Mariah has the personality of a tree and she’s absolutely dull and lifeless on stage and in video.

  42. WTF December 15, 2010

    >MIMI LOOKS LIKE AN EXPIRED CHEAP P*** STAR…..<

  43. Aj299 December 15, 2010

    THe only thing captivating about whitney is her ability to make us cringe and weep for her. Celine i’ll give you, but she’s more humor than an awe factor, and CHristina is still younger. She’s in Beyonce’s peer group! Mariah’s never prided herself as being a performer either. She’s been open from the beginning about coming from a studio singer/songwriter background because she is involved with the creative process from the inception. Which is something WHitney and Celine could never say! So go follow around Celine and Whitney posts if there are any!

  44. John December 15, 2010

    Seriously sometimes it seems Sam doesn´t know a f****** thing about the music industry. Where is Trent when needed??
    WTF did sam expect from this? It is bad video as it was expected and that´s it, it´s not serious, not a single, just for people knowing the song. Sam is really pressed after listening to the album, but he has gone nuts after ABC special and that greatness. The reviews of the show are being amazing and journalists are saying she is the only diva still standing (Celine and Whitney, as much as I love them, can´t do something like that special nowadays). And of course, there´s no diva nowadays that can come close to this 3 legends so: the only one diva truly slaying, and after 20 glorious years. Stay pressed. She also had more viewers than nonsinging-Taylor S. special and overrated and overpromoted Beyonce special, so stay mad

  45. Rihanna Still In Top 10 December 15, 2010

    Mariah has ‘zero’ personality on stage, no charisma and fake. She looks so fake just like her silicone saline tits. I feel bad for her baby.

  46. Noriah December 15, 2010

    Mariah is beyond lame at this point. All these years and she still is pretty much fluff and irrelevant. She begins to look like Miley Cyrus grandma..! 🙁

  47. jeremydante December 15, 2010

    i love her rendition but this video sucks. dont know why they even bothered to put it out. & she should embrace being pregnant instead of trying to conceal it, like she did here.

  48. Aj299 December 15, 2010

    Rihanna has ZERO personality, no matter how much she fakes her “hard” personality. On top of that, she sounds awful! Funny how you’re comparing a 20 something to a 40 something artist.. Mariah could sing a rihanna song 10x better than her, but rihanna could NEVER sing a Mariah song better than her. Hero anyone? LOLOLOL

  49. PartyPac December 15, 2010

    Wow she is HUGE! May be have triplets or she swallowed Aretha?

  50. Aj299 December 15, 2010

    @Noriah.

    You say she’s irrelevant but yet she’s still got posts going up about her, and if she were irrelevant don’t you think you would NOT be interested in responding to the stories about her, you’re lame!

    Mariah’s never prided herself as being a performer either.
    ———————————————————————————
    Great, because she isn’t anything close to it. After 20 years, she’s learned absolutely nothing! If anything I sometimes think she’s going backwards. She has great records, but she’s horrendous on stage and nauseating in all of her videos. Whitney and Celine don’t write their songs, but they are not signing up to pin music on everyones albums in the industry. They do their jobs, which is sing and move people when they take the stage. They atleast seem interested in what their doing in their videos! If Mariah wasn’t an artist performing than I’d give her an A+ for her contributions to music(as a songwriter)… however, that’s not the case so I give her an C- for what she brings overall to the table. It’s more to being an artist than just standing behind a mic and lipping, what Mimi does is quite underwhelming.

  52. Nick Supporter December 15, 2010

    Yeah! Nick Cannon is ready to be a stay at home ‘mother’.

    Good job congrats, I guess you weren’t playing when you said you’re a gigolo….. I ain’t mad Nick even though you got your own Nickelodeon money you trying to get that Mariah Carey music catalog money. You just went from NFL money to MLB money the difference between Tom Brady and Alex Rodriguez. Go head though smart man. Be smarter though Nick you got to sit on the Mariah music catalog for a long time so no darkie black bum b**** strippers for you buddy just fall back. Wait about 10 more years so it can be like Beatles catalog or something. Hang there brother.

    You know Christmas coming up, you know they going to be playing all of Mariah Carey’s Christmas CDs on the radio .77 cents per spin 50 states for the whole month of December. You do the math. Man, Nick you clearly are stacking paper son. Keep rubbing that cow tits. Applaud man…Go brother..go.

  53. Yolanda December 15, 2010

    As fat as she alway was – no news here. Pregnant or not, she’s an irrelevant cow. The only people who find her interesting always either delusional Lambs or 16 you home-schooled gals.

  54. Aj299 December 15, 2010

    Mariah has more songs that will go down in history and be remembered than Celine and WHitney put together. Whether you want to admit it or not, she’s going to be more remembered 40 years from now than either of the two. She’s done her job as a songwriter and singer, and thats all she cares about. THe comments about her weight, stage presence, music videos, and her personality mean nothing to her. If thats what aristry is to you, then i guess someone like beyonce (who lies about writing songs), lady gaga (GIMMICKS GALORE), Madonna (HUGEST EXAMPLE OF A MEDIOCRE TALENT THAT USED EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE BOOK TO KEEP HERSELF RELEVANT) are probably appealing to you!

    Singing and songwriting are the most important foundations of a musical ARTIST, not all the extra stuff thats thrown in to make up for the lack of substance!

  55. I am a cow, too December 15, 2010

    Oh p uhlezzee,

    After her miscarriage 2 years ago she had to be on progesterone for 15 months which makes you gain weight and helps prevent a miscarriage. She’s wearing a protective device under the dress to shield the baby from noise which doesn’t hurt the baby what soever. She’s 6 months or so now and pregnancy shows differently on a tall muscular woman like her than it does on a short one like Foptina, Hagdonna, Bitchney and Crackney.

  56. Noriah December 15, 2010

    Damn MoMoo wtf lmao she’s about to grow another chin. 🙂

    Ps: Global scale, she is irrelevant & with all dat money from Christmas rhymes she shud be able to gastric bypass her cow tummy.

  57. cash December 15, 2010

    at the end of the day MCIIY is a smash, Oh santa has gone #1 on the Adult Contemporary charts, breaking records on its way as well as the Holiday charts. Its garnered her rave reviews from critics, who call Oh santa a soon to be Christmas standard. Its a Christmas album, 10 years from now, Just like Merry Christmas, she can still promote and get sells. she slays every Christmas.

  58. royalkev December 15, 2010

    @Aj299

    …but that’s just the thing where is the substance? It’s 2010 and Mimi doesn’t have any these days! I’m not taking away anything from her past, she has done 20 years of hit making. She’s a legend, all day! I think your way too over confident about her having twice as many hits as Whitney and Celine. They’re still singing age appropriate songs that are meaningful. Mariah’s last few hits like Touch my body and Don’t forget about us are easily forgettable. She does have 18 #1’s, but don’t think she didn’t find ways to get around earning them fairly. Rihanna’s slashing prices for Only Girl was right out of Mimi’s handbook in the chapter of the washed up years. So I beg to differ with you in thinking that she has more classic music that alot of her “peers”.

  59. Madonna The Queen December 15, 2010

    Great diva..she will get only .70 cents during Chrismas every time stations play her songs while Madonna gets $5 million per show from touring.

    DO THE MATH….

  60. royalkev December 15, 2010

    *than her “peers”.

    i guess someone like beyonce (who lies about writing songs), lady gaga (GIMMICKS GALORE), Madonna (HUGEST EXAMPLE OF A MEDIOCRE TALENT THAT USED EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE BOOK TO KEEP HERSELF RELEVANT) are probably appealing to you!
    —————————————————————————————————————

    Beyonce, does write. I’m not arguing that point because it gets redundant!
    I don’t care for Lady Gaga, but she’s a songwriter… Isn’t that all that matters to you!
    with Madonna – I totally agree with you. *shake hands*

  61. adam@gmx.ch December 15, 2010

    Mariah carey is a flop has been b**** who acts like she is still too good. She needs to stop pretending just like Oprah the goody goody and trying to make everyone else depressed. No means a good role model!

    WHITNEY HAS MORE ICONIC SONGS THAT GET PLAYED HERE ON DAILY BASIS.
    WHERE AS HERO GETS PLAYED ONCE IN A WHOLE YEAR.
    MOST ICONIC MARIAH SONGS WITHOUT YOU, AGAINST ALL ODDS, ENDLESS LOVE, ILL BE THERE,I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS. THESE SONGS ARE ALL COVERS SUNG BY OTHER ARTIST FIRST.

    CELINE AND WHITNEY HAVE MORE STAGE PRESENCE WHEREAS MARIAH ALWAYS STANDS AND NOWADAYS REMOVES HER CLOTHES.

    SO TELL ME ONE OF HER ORIGINAL SONGS THAT IS ICONIC.

  66. MUSIC LOVER December 15, 2010

    Eh it’s a cheap video to promote her album. It serves its purpose.

  67. tim3495 December 15, 2010

    what a disgrace to her legacy.
    Why has she been putting out these horrible videos..
    Man whoever is managing her needs to get their ass fired
    who ever is making her videos needs to get their ass fired
    who ever at the label approved for this s*** along with the past epic fails she calls videos to come out needs to get their ass fired
    mariah needs to give birth to a healthy beautiful baby, take a 2 to 3 year break and come back with something AMAZING .. of the wall INCREDIBLE or else she’s done.

    Britney has been cerified selling 100Mil and was the biggest selling artist of the last decade.
    Brit is last album sold 500K in one week and 1Mil in 3 Weeks. So do not start.
    Brit is always at the top never at the bottom of sales!!!!
    Don’t make me start hating on Kelly rowland.

  70. Say Isnt so December 15, 2010

  71. John December 15, 2010

    I really enjoy how Beyonce, Rihanna and the rest nowadays ministars (compared to true divas) never respond to my comments. They just can´t. They don´t understand a f****** thing about the music industry or what talent is. Yes Whitney or Celine have more stage presence, and? Mariah is better at some other things. And just admit it like I said in a previous comment: among the last 3 real divas, Mariah is the one still making hot and good music

    @John

    I guess Mariah’s sales tell us she is making quality music ha? Sorry for your lost Lambs. 🙂

  78. Jazlene December 15, 2010

    What is this mess? Mariah you should have shelved this horrendous visual along with your Memoirs remix album #I CAN’T…LMAO
    @ Nichole changing her avatar to ll ccol j…THANK YOU!!!…It was exhausting barfing every time I saw that face …#GirlBYE
    @ Kelendria Rowland…Girl you are still on with that support Kelly mess..know that Whitney’s crack pipe >>> Miss Rowland’s entire career lol
    @Aj299 Interesting you speak of Mariah’s “history-making”hits when they aínt classics LOL…Queen Whitney remade 5+ songs and she not only made them #1…but she made them her own and they are classics…unlike Mariah who not only butchered classic songs along with this tumultous video among many others should have EVER existed.
    Before yall talk Ish bout THE TRUE QUEEN WHITNEY….Let it be known…no matter how many times you diss her/ cuss at her/ joke of her…She STILL REMAINS THE MOST AWARDED FEMALE ARTIST OF ALL-TIME!!!! Haters wea u @? !?!

  79. theman December 15, 2010

    You people are truly some idiots. Mariahs 2nd Christmas album is a smash whether u like it or not. It is amazing. Don’t be mad because nobody cares about your favorite. People wanna throw shade because she sounds leaps and bounds better than ur favorite artists. Oh well get the fck over it. Royal whoever u are shut ur damn mouth. Mariah is a singer/composer/song write, Whitney or Celine are neither. Whitney/Celine do not have more classic songs than her either. She has Vision Of Love, We Belong Together, Fly Like A Bird, Through The Rain, and ect. Don’t try to discredit her greatness cause nobody gives a damna about your favorite artists, Also whether a single was on sale or not it does’nt matter, people still bought it. Save ur sorry a** excuses. The fact is Mariah is shytting and people are mad that she has done it just about her whole carrer. Go salvage one of ur nobodys careers, instead of being here tlaking about a bunch of nonsense. Her tv special scored higher ratings that Beyonce’ & Taylor Swift who were highly promoted, not comparing anyone but u get it. All these whack jokes are not funny it’s just the same losers that pop in all of her threads because they want what she has.

    Keep on selling those albums, great numbers with a Christmas album Mariah, your album is actually outselling alot of artists regular albums. To bad for the haters. You keep them on there toes.

  80. theman December 15, 2010

    EXCUSE THE MISTAKES WRITING A LIL TO FAST .

  81. Bobby D December 15, 2010

    I actually liked it! I dunno why everyone hates it so much….I mean its a song thats ONLY played on new years, ONLY when the ball drops. what would be the point of a huge, expensive production for a song that can only be played ONCE a year…literally. I thought it was dope! Mariah pregnant ass gettin down, and havin fun! I dig it. f*** the haters. =)

  82. John December 15, 2010

    I seriously just can´t. Really I only want to talk to me Whitney or Celine fans, cos Beyonce, Rihanna, Gaga and the rest careers are nothing and probably never will be compared to those 3 (Mimi, W and C). Beyonce stans talking about sales????? Of course now it´s the time for Bey. If Mimi in 2010 outsells Bey it would be just pathetic for Beyonce. What u don´t understand is that Mimi´s first 10 years slays your favorites whole careers. Since then, the rest is an extra (a glorious one) with absolutely great numbers too. And yes even in 2010 Mimi slayed Beyonce and the rest vocally and musically with MCIIU. U only have to listen, it´s not that hard (she won on the ratings comparing to Bey´s and Taylor´s specials)

    – Music is songwriting and singing, the rest is great but are additions to the main thing. Beyonce is a performer than Mimi, I don´t care, Mimi slays her with her music and voice. Example: MJ is an absolutely icon not cos of his dancing and videos (also for that). He is an icon for his great music first. Without the music being great, he wouldn´t be considered what he is now. Beyonce´s music is great? At Michael, Mariah, Prince, Whitney, etc level?? Hell no!!! So stay pressed

    – Now talking about the other 2 last real divas. I don´t know why some people try to bring down one to make look better the others. I love the 3 of them. They are the best. Facts:
    * Celine and Whitney have more power in their voices and are better performers
    * They don´t write a thing and Mariah lives for doing it since before debuting so slays them at that point (and no beyonce doesn´t write either, only that Whitney and Celine don´t have the nerve to put their names for expressing opinions about the final product. Please, Beyonce doesn´t know how to talk)
    * Mariah´s voice is richer and remains beautiful (and weaker obviously), but Whitney´s is too destroyed to sound good (at times is better) and Celine´s went too nasally long ago. And she lips even more than Mariah
    * Celine and Whit can´t do something like that special or the album Mariah has made this year, with postproduction, dubbing or whatever help they could get, they can´t do something that beautiful in 2010.

    Peace, and learn something nowadays minidivas stans.

  83. John December 15, 2010

    • The diva’s special-opening rendition of sleigh-bell and school yard-chant happy new single “Oh, Santa!” was the perfect kick-off for the evening. This thumpy, joyful tune proves: Mariah just wants to have fun!

    • The launch of Mariah Carey’s duet of “O Come All Ye Faithful” with her opera-singer mother Patricia Carey. It becomes a diva-off, with both reaching the rafters for the highest note in history. Who wins? You can be the judge of that.

    • Mariah closes out the night with her Christmas standard, “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” If that doesn’t put you in the spirit, then nothing will. There’s simply few things out there that are this joyful.

    she’s not known for drug abuse or promiscuity or any of the truly ugly, sad byproducts of being a successful star.

    5.) She reminds us of what a diva is, and why she’s the last one standing
    What’s a diva? Lady Gaga is not a diva. Rihanna is not a diva. A diva is a larger-than-life personality, yes; a woman with charisma beyond measure, but more than anything, she’s a voice, and above all, THE voice. She doesn’t need fancy stage setups, props, pyrotechnics, elaborate costumes, or statement music videos. She doesn’t need to be racy or controversial or reference obscure art scenes and design influences. For the true diva, it’s just her and the microphone, standing on stage, singing her heart out and in turn making yours jump right out of your chest. Mariah is not by any means the only diva, but she’s definitely the only still-relevant, functional diva. Dear Whitney’s been in and out of rehab and reality television, while Cher and Celine have (for the most part) been hiding out in Vegas. Meanwhile, the young crop of power voices are busy running around with their heads chopped off trying to rule the word. By the way, Lady Gaga may have created a strong army of loyal “Little Monsters,” but Mariah Carey had given her fans a pet name way before it was cool, affectionately referring to her following as her “lambs.”

    For now, though, Mariah Carey sits happily atop the Diva throne, reminding everyone that not many people can captivate and command an audience without moving an inch quite like her and that sometimes less is more. Except when it comes to glitter, bling and falsettos. In that case, more is always more.

    Read that?? Now u can cry and ate s*** haters… haha

  84. Hassan December 15, 2010

    ANDDD WHAT? mariah isnt known for her MUSIC VIDEO A VIDEO IS A VIDEO MARIAHs doin her job which is SINGING and tbh shes doin a great freakin job of it so leave her alone and let her do what shes doin… and where beyonce is concered shes a PERFORMER

  85. deirdre December 15, 2010

    haters.. how could you make a video for this song? its a hard song to make a video concept for.

  86. Hassan December 15, 2010

    @MissImpartial we belong together? one sweet day? the songs that MARIAH SANG and no 1 has broken her record yet thats iconic so seriously dont know what ur onabout… ill remind u We belong together… won song of the decade award, longest running number 1 single SOLO… One sweet day, longest running number one single TILL DATE.. o and ALL I WANT FOR XMAS IS U o yh ill tell you what this is… the most played holiday song in the states as well as the uk o and it came 1st on billboard hot 100 songs!

  87. Danisha Knowles December 15, 2010

    Lambs, Mariah hasn’t re-entered Top 10 since its debut. Taylor and Susan keep re-entering the No1 position on the Billboard. This MCIIY is an epic flop and it is doing worse than Memoirs and Glitter. Less than 300k copies sold it is not a hit for any standards or eras.

    Please, who are you kidding, Lambs?

  88. Jazlene December 15, 2010

    @ John…Your balanced P.O.V is very much appreciated.
    @ The Man…Correction Whitney in FACT has MORE classics than both Mariah and Celine…Whitney’s songs are the most covered songs on American idol and shows alike classics like how will i know…saving all my love for you…greatest love of all..I wanna dance with sombody (who loves me) ….all the man I need…I have nothing…I’m every woman…Queen of the night….I believe in you and me… Whitney’s Iconic I will always love you being the biggest youtube phenomenon… but no one in the history of singers broke the standard and OWNED the Star Spangle Banner like Queen Whitney….Besides Aretha no other live singer as acclaimed as Whitney Houston..Hell Oprah dubbed Whitney “THE VOICE…a title which many other stans of other artists have used but solely belongs to Queen Whitney. I say Queen because the woman had it all and has done it all…From a covergirl model…to a highly acclaimed singer…to an A-listed actress…In her lifetime she was the best selling female artist….most number ones by a female artist…biggest selling debut of all time….third highest paid actress…records she STILL holds today are her 7 consecutive number one songs and 7 consecutive number 1 albums,,,,best selling soundtrack of all-time…best selling gospel album of all-time..and in 2006 Guiness World Record reigned Whitney as the most awarded female artist of all-time with 411 awards….Despite Whit’s shortcomings…this woman can still walk on a stage not say a word and get a standing O which is testament to the woman’s legacy which is laughable when haters like to front on Whit when their faves have not accomplished an ounce of Whit’s success. I love Mariah don’t get me wrong but her success on the weighing cale is much lighter than Whitney’s.

  89. Nippy You December 15, 2010

    @John

    A diva with lipsyncing and dubbed vocals?

    A diva who cant sing live anymore?

    A diva is using Photoshop and edited cover to stay relevant?

    A diva who can’t even fill up a basketball arena?

    A diva is using baby news, abortion and pregnancy to sell albums?

    A diva who canceled remix album and changing release date afraid of competitors?

    A diva who gave excuse in MJ funeral saying she was too sad to sing live thats why she sucks?

    (STFU, Lambs…stop giving execuse for your fallen done deal angel !!! )

  90. Nichole December 15, 2010

    LOL! Former Crackhead Houston biggest song is a remake, and a good deal of her most memorable songs are remakes. At least Mariah actually wrote her timeless classics, with the exception of I’ll Be There and Without You.

    Whitney and Celine are industry puppets, that has been taken by the hand and nurtured like babies. They have no creative control over their music.

    Mariah, Janet and Madonna all have classic songs that they took part in writing.

  91. Billy GaGa December 15, 2010

    …a diva who dresses like a hoochie mama from Vegas.

    *close coffin* 🙁

  92. Nichole December 15, 2010

    @ Nippy you. You mean like how Whitney had edited vocals on the Oprah show, after the fact that she sounded like a dumpster truck on GMA? LMAO!

    Don’t let me get started on that God awful tour of her’s. LOL! Who the fvvk has people running out of their concerts because they sounded like a cat dying down the street? LMAO! Former Crackhead Houston had one of the worst tours ever with the some of the worst reviews ever read. LOL!

  93. Nippy You December 15, 2010

    @ Nichole

    Dont worry when Whitney got on the stage people immediately gave her standing ovation…When Mariah sangs, she had at least 3 backups and dozen of sound engineers plus choirs still sounded like a constipated dolphin. GO FIGURE B****…

  94. Billy Gaga December 15, 2010

    @ Nippy You

    LMFAO…..at least Whitney didnt have to marry her own boss to sell albums in the 90s…right?

    *lower the coffin 7- feet down (to be continued)*

  95. Jazlene December 15, 2010

    @ Nichole you are a dude right?!? #I CAN’T …ROTFLMAO
    Anywho Mr Nichole lol….Whitney is not a songwriter,,,she is an interpreter of Music just like the great Al Pacino in the God Father they marveled in the art bringing it to life. Mariah has written three timeless claasics…hero ..Vision of love and AIWFCIS…must you exaggerate dahrling?!? lol
    Whitney aínt no industry puppet….Whitney’s voice alone made her the most acclaimed vocalist there is…yes she was moulded by Her Music Producer/Godfather Clive who must I remind you is THE Music producer and just look at the level of Whit’s success?!? She broke records left right and centre she even broke the damn STAR SPANGLED BANNER for cryin out loud….could your fave do that ?!?….

    You need to come back harder sir…just like your avator posing to be a genetic looking girl…like your opinion are both # EPIC FAIL @ that…#STAY PRESSED

  96. kntmusiclover December 15, 2010

    you know this will get played in some gay club on new years eve and they will jam to it. Merry Christmas Happy New Year!

  97. John December 15, 2010

    I keep loving the fact noone has arguments to respond to my comments except one that said I had a balanced point of view and another uneducated one (uneducated cos he/she seems to not be able to read, since he/she ignores the facts that I stated. Very pressed are the haters I see. Oh and someone has given some false numbers about Whitney´s career (and some other true numbers). Just leave the hating between Mariah and Whitney cos they are legends, the last divas

  98. wateva December 15, 2010

    chile i live for miss mimi, but this is giving me those ghetto videos they used to shoot in the mall back in the dam late 80’s sometime. it’s a shame that b.scotts video looks better than this. a fool!

  99. TheMan4u December 15, 2010

    she looks like the Tardy for the party lady

  100. TIMMI December 15, 2010

    It’s no secret that I’m a ride or die lamb.

    But at the same time I won’t lie and say this video didn’t make me laugh slightly.

    BUT… who says that ain’t a good thing?

    And besides, there are several reasons why this video effort could be justified which people have already stated so I won’t waste the time.

    Besides, the song is cheese, so what should we expect? A cheese video.

    #ThatIsAll

    OH ALSO

    @NIPPY YOU

    If you would have posted under any other name I would have accepted the fact your comments are laughable and moved on. But as a Whitney fan you aren’t in a position to bring yourself in this post and start making jokes as if Whitney can’t be touched. For the past 10+ years Whitney’s career has been a joke (Google and do your research).

    This video is tacky as hell but point is, Mimi is out there, riding with her fans as usual and providing us with some content, AS well as having her own personal issues i.e. PREGNANCY.

    I love Whitney too so I won’t even go as far as to stoop to your levels and diss her. But point I’d like to make… Where’s she at?

    all timeless songs that people know and love to this day. who cares about which songs are the most covered, whitney’s voice is more easy to emulate if you’re a singer than someone like Mariah’s would be. No one could sing Emotions EVER like Mariah, but Charice can sing I Will ALways Love you very close to whitney’s style, minus the tone. I love whitney, but don’t turn this discussion about a tacky music video into a WHitney versus Mariah discussion. Because whether whitney has gotten more awards or not. She is not and never will be the ARTIST that Mariah is!

  102. sugarwalls December 16, 2010

    i don’t know but i like it a lot!!!
    maybe bec im a solid MC fan….
    whatever… i still love Mariah to the maxxxxxxxxxxxx

  103. BNOOM December 16, 2010

    The only reason Mariah gets any praise from her voice is because she can do that whistle registrer s***. THAT IS THE ONLY REASON.

    Her alto is very light and airy.

  104. Nadjee December 16, 2010

    Hate It or Love t ,Whitney is better .Mariah has a better range but whitney voice is stronger and she takes control over her range much better Mariah has a 5 and whitney has a 4. Listen to their song and you’ll see that whitney voice stood out more and she sounds better too.

    Vocally Whitney will always been the QUEEN with the most beautiful voice ever. Is her voice the same today? No. Mariah is known for hitting ear splitting high notes. If you consider that singing then more power to you. Whitney’s voice has so much range and power, she can sing softly and sound like an angel and she can sing hard and angry and still be soulful. I always felt that Mariah tries too hard in everything she does. If she’d just be herself she’d be just fine.

    And Mariah’s voice during live performance has never ever moved me like Whitney’s.

    @Nichole

    Really? Crackhead? And you are looking like something straight out of the LION KING.

  107. Jeremy December 16, 2010

    How could you NOT LOVE this video??? It’s soooo funny to see the dummies in this post actually trying to hate on Mariah (who obviously planned to make a video of this nature). The funniest thing is…Mariah herself KNOWS this video isn’t a masterpiece…..

    SO WHYYYYYYY Are yall trying to convince people that it’s low budget….We all know it is. It’s supposed to be. A video played for ONE DAY (come on haters???? REALLY???)

    And the Whitney drama….LOL?? REALLY??? Don’t hate on Mariah because WHITNEY CAN NO LONGER SING!!!!!!!!!!!

  108. Tia Amelia December 16, 2010

    Mariah please go away quietly, your album is struggling and your diva status is laughable.

  109. theman December 16, 2010

    @Tia who the fck are u ? Why don’t u get a hobby. Mariah does’nt have to struggle for anything. She just naturally has it u don’t. You’re laughable now sit ur stupid a** down. Queen Cici ? You don’t even deserve a comment u stupid b*tch. Go run into a wall. Nadjee your wrong. Whitney has power, Mariah has range, Mariahs range is actually 5.5, Whitney’s 3.7. Whitney has been struggling to hit low notes, altho she is a great vocalist. Do not act ignorant like Mariah isn’t a versatile singer. Why the fck are u in Mariahs thread talking about Whitney. Get the fck on with that. Mariah has one of the greatest teachnical voices there is. What are you talking about. She’s actually the most versatile vocalist when it comes to her voice. Whitney being better is a matter of opinion. Mariah has range,power,versatility and ect. Mariah gets praise because her voice is able to do many things that other artists can’t or don’t do. Her airy voice is part of what she chooses to do. You jerks totally ignore the fact that this woman belts incredibly well, her voice is powerful yet melodic, which is more pleasing.

    Not everyone has to scream all the damn time to hit notes.

    @Jazlene Mariah has sold more albums, has more number ones, and she writes and composers her own music, yet Whitney is more successful sit down. Mariah has won tons of awards. Whitney’s last album was really good but alot of people liked it because of the hype surrounding it. These dummies keep talking about Mariah marrying her boss, that has nothing to do with anything. She was gullible, but she was successful everytime. Look at how Clive had Whitney stuck to him like glue, he was calling all of the shots for her, so it’s no difference. To all Whitney stans go make a thread about her, why do u stupid fckers stay in here talking sh*t, Mariah is a megastar. Mariah’s Christmas album has now sold almost 300k, why the hell are u talking about Susan Boyle ? She does’nt have a Christmas album. Are you comparing all of the other artists out that have albums as well. The fact remains that she is outselling alot of artists regular albums, and u haters are bitter. Ya’ll stay mad, do something to put a smile on ur face, cuz u look ridiculous.

  110. John December 16, 2010

    Once again, I wake up and visit this post like 10 hours later and noone has responded to my comments. Really funny how people have no arguments and the haters stay pressed as hell

  111. spring December 16, 2010

    I ACTUALLY LIKE IT!

  112. Pat December 18, 2010

    Great song, but I want the person who made/allowed the vid to happen to be fired. This is my concept, her at an Irish Pub (cool cause she’s Irish also and never really embraced it) with a bunch of girls and guys singing along to the song (new bar guy sounding vocals added) whilst moving their arms and then dancing and her just sitting down and moving a cup that says MC on it and is empty (pregnancy joke) and the music could start outside of the bar where its snowing but inside it becomes a pub dance where guy grabs girl and begins to dance and when they shout happy new year! Fireworks are bursting in the sky over the pub and the vid ends with her warm smile!
