About Darryle from USA: .

Left off songs (43,243) by Darryle from USA Maybe Mariah plans to do something like Justin Timberlake or Beyoncé. The Elusive Chanteuse part of the title isn't on the cover so maybe The Elusive Chanteuse is like a second album. Like 20/20 experience part two or I Am Sasha Fierce. If she did this she could put all the left off songs and new material on the second part of the album. It's a long shot and probably won't happen but at this point who knows what's going to happen.

Mary J Blige and R Kelly (43,220) by Darryle from USA I just thought about it but both songs that these artist are working on are similar to songs they've done themselves. Mary J has a song called It's A Wrap and R Kelly has Trapped In The Closet. I'd love it if Mariah found a way to incorporate a piece of Mary's song into hers. I'd like die if the R Kelly version of BGK was added to Trapped In The Closet or if Mariah was in the video. It would be super funny and give Mariah another chance, shows that she's funny and she can act. (Friday 2 May 2014; 17:20)

The elusive chanteuse (43,136) by Darryle from USA The elusive chanteuse. When I first read this I immediately thought this was Mariah's way of apologizing for being so secretive. She told us almost nothing about this album and she feels based maybe so she adds this to the title as her little apology. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 15:14)

Me I am Mariah (43,135) by Darryle from USA Every time I look at the drawing for me I am Mariah I start to giggle. It's funny to me to know this is what Mariah thought she looked like when she was little. Just look at how big she drew her mole. After I finish giggling I think how perfect that picture fits this album and what Mariah's been doing in music lately. She's been doing what she wanted the music she put out was all her. Mariah picked the perfect picture and title. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 15:11)

Pushback (43,134) by Darryle from USA I thought about the pushback for a while and it's the right move. Mariah dropping the album on May 6th wouldn't give her time to do anything. Now though she's got time to do magazines, schedule interviews, live performances and sit down tv shows. She's also got the time to release and promote a single so that it can get traction for the album. Maybe on May 6th she'll drop the new single, which I hope will be Thirsty. On the 16th, when she's supposed to so the summer concert, she could then perform the single. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 15:06)

Clean (43,124) by Darryle from USA I hope there's going to be a clean version of the album. It's not really a big deal if it's not because it's only a few songs. No clean version of either edition is out yet. Do they sell clean versions of physical albums? (Thursday 1 May 2014; 12:22)

May 27th (43,123) by Darryle from USA First day of May and I was starting to think that the wait was almost over. May 6th seemed so close and now we have to wait to May 27th. It seems light years away. It'll be worth the wait though, I can feel it. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 12:15)

Promo (43,108) by Darryle from USA I know it just got put on pre order but where's the promo? I actually have to type the full album title to get to the album. Why isn't she in the pre order section or the big banner of albums and singles or recent releases? There should be something to get the attention of people on iTunes. As I'm typing this the albums been on pre order for like less than 4 hours so it will change when this message is posted or later on in the week. Hopefully. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 8:35)

It's here (43,104) by Darryle from USA It's finally here. The pre order is here. I'm so excited right now I can't even. The album title is so much more meaningful than anything the fans could have come up with it's a really nice title. Slightly bummed it's not a double album and that the bonus track's are remix songs and a song we already heard. Extremely disappointed she pushed it back. So what happened to all at once release and May 6th? Very confused about that. Also where's the guest star the only person we haven't heard yet is Fabulous, everyone else we heard or were supposed to be on the MOAIA remix album. Her legs look ultra photoshopped in the standard edition but she still looks "Beautiful" haha. Quick question: All the people saying they're not buying it if it's pushed back since it is apparently pushed back are you actually not going to buy it? Over I'm really excited but still nervous as to what's gonna happen on May 6th until the 27th. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 8:26)

Ready (43,060) by Darryle from USA I'm so ready for this album to be released. I'm done with all the confusion and the will it be all at once digital or same time stuff. I just want the album out on May 6th whether it's completely digital or physical copies I could care less. (Wednesday 30 April 2014; 15:02)

Suprise (42,974) by Darryle from USA This surprise is a bad idea. I get why Mariah's doing it because she wants releasing music to be like it was back in the 90's and stuff. When you released your work people would treat it like a work of art and the album was viewed as a whole instead of being so single focused. But it's so Beyonce-esque that people can't look at it for what it is because they're blinded by the fact that she's copying Beyonce. I think everyone knows this really isn't a surprise, even JD said it wasn't a surprise. I get the feeling that she's doing this just to get out of promo as well. I'll buy the album whether or not there's promo or if she released it this way but it's getting her more backlash than praise. And right now Mariah needs all the praise she can get. It's getting her in the news but not for the right reasons. And any publicity isn't good publicity. (Monday 28 April 2014; 8:17)

[...] (42,973) by Darryle from USA What does [...] mean? [Webmaster: That means there were words on that place that weren't allowed, or that these words were written in capitals.] (Monday 28 April 2014; 8:08)

On the radio (42,929) by Darryle from USA This is off topic of what everyone else is talking about but I heard Mariah twice on the radio this weekend. I heard Emotions and ABMB. When they came on I just started jamming out and singing. It made me really happy to hear her. It's a good sign that she's getting played because I live in Japan on a military installation so our radio is top 40 and request. So that means someone out there on base is thinking of Mariah. This just goes to show that Mariah has longevity and a lot of artists don't have that. Half the music on the radio won't be remembered 15 years from now but songs from 95 and 91 are still getting played. I'm happy for Mariah, she's got a legacy and it's long lasting. (Saturday 26 April 2014; 15:44)

Release dates (42,826) by Darryle from USA Does anyone know why different countries get later or earlier release dates of the albums. Like Europe normally gets them first and US somewhere in the middle. Why is that when most of her sales come from the US anyway? Also why does Japan get bonus tracks when US doesn't? They got 4real4real and Heat and America got the standard edition. (Wednesday 23 April 2014; 15:08)

Silent release (42,805) by Darryle from USA I hope Mariah isn't doing a silent release, it's a really bad move. Mariah will look like a copycat and that's never good in the music industry. Need I remind anyone of Ariana Grande. She doesn't have the selling power of Beyoncé either no one knew Beyoncé's was coming not even the people she worked with. We know what's coming from Mariah, we have had too many songs released for it to be a surprise. Lastly Beyoncé's album was something completely new for her, very sexual lots of explicit songs different sound and she wrote cowrote like all the songs. Mariah so far has given us one completely original song and that's #Beautiful, the rest have been like rehashes. Bad idea if this is her plan. (Tuesday 22 April 2014; 23:34)

Have faith (42,784) by Darryle from USA I think we all need to have a little faith in Mariah. This album may be pushed back and yeah it's disappointin,g but so what? If we rush Mariah to put this out and it's not ready we'll be screaming that she gave us a half assed album that sucks, but if she pushes it back because it's not complete we're screaming that it should be complete and to just put it out already. Besides I honestly think this album will be worth the wait. Mariah said this is an album for the lambs and that it'll be one of her favs and it's like Butterfly of today. Mariah doesn't just say stuff like that and compare albums to Butterfly. If you really listen to the songs she really is trying her hardest to please us and herself at the same time. She's touching all the bases with the singles. #Beautiful pop and R&B YM(E) R&B with modern touch triumphant hip hop TAOLG pop ballad dance remixes with almost all the songs. These are what fans are begging for. She may not be giving it the way we like but she's trying her best to please us. Just have faith that when or if this album is released that Mariah will have given her all and pleased us and herself. (Tuesday 22 April 2014; 12:51)

Blame (42,783) by Darryle from USA People shouldn't blame JD for this. JD posted on twitter about this and he said that he gets what the fans want but this is what Mariah wants so she's doing it. This far into her career no one not even management can tell Mariah what to do, she's said it before. Mariah is gonna do what she wants when she wants and how she wants, even if it's against the fans wishes unfortunately. (Tuesday 22 April 2014; 12:39)

Push back (42,743) by Darryle from USA I just read that the album has been pushed back again. There's no official statement saying there's a push back, but the album's been removed from Hits Daily Double and Island's website. I can only hope that this is a mistake because if it's a push back again it's going to hurt the album more than it hurts the fans. (Sunday 20 April 2014; 23:31)

Sample (42,707) by Darryle from USA Mariah said in an early interview she wasn't going to use samples on this album. Well I for one really hope that Mariah doesn't go back on her word. Samples aren't really a big deal in the music industry but I'd like to see what Mariah can come up with. I think if she chose one sample or cover I'd be okay with it more but with samples she just writing lyrics and rearranging things. Same thing for covers minus the writing. To me it's just a waste of album space that could be used to do something ultra creative. That being said, some of Mariah's best songs use samples or are covers. Breakdown and Fantasy use samples. Without You and Bringing On The Heartbreak are both covers. (Friday 18 April 2014; 15:55)

Re: Billy (42,647) by Darryle from USA Oh, you're right. I just googled it and you're completely right. Thanks for correcting me. (Wednesday 16 April 2014; 9:12)

Loverboy sample (42,633) by Darryle from USA As you know Mariah couldn't use the Firecracker sample for Loverboy. If you want to hear what a song of Mariah's would've sounded like with that song, listen to If We from the Glitter soundtrack. There's no actual sampling on the track but it was made to sound similar to it. (Tuesday 15 April 2014; 13:41)

Pre sale (42,632) by Darryle from USA So the pre sale you guys got is like when Walmart put up the album a while back with no info. Except they had a title. That sorta sucks. I was hoping for some new insight on the album. Oh well, thanks for replying and telling where the pre sale was. (Tuesday 15 April 2014; 13:38)

Pre sale (42,627) by Darryle from USA So I'm not in or from the Netherlands, but I was wondering where did you see the pre sale? Was it on iTunes? I'm only asking because there's no news of a pre sale or anything in the U.S. so I was trying to find out if there's any new info. (Tuesday 15 April 2014; 9:39)

lovemimi (42,523) by Darryle from USA If that's true then we should be getting some news from Mariah soon I hope. Also if it's tru,e does that mean the album not a double one because 15 tracks while being a long album Mariah's done a 15 song album. Maybe it is going to be 15 tracks on 2 CDs. I hope it's the latter. (Tuesday 8 April 2014; 13:24)

JD (42,522) by Darryle from USA I think that LA Reid is partially right about JD. I feel like JD and Mariah are too comfortable with each other to really say what they feel. JD is probably just Mariah's yes man. Don't get me wrong though, JD is a great producer and writer, he's helped with some of Mariah's best songs. Every once in a while he has a great idea too. The Facebook release of TAOLG was a really good idea and a great way to connect with fans. But she needs someone who can tell her no, who's managed other people with successful careers, and someone who can fully devote themselves to managing her not doing that part time and writing/producing/managing other artist the other half of the time. At the end of the day though Mariah has complete control over how many performances she does and who manages her so I guess I can't really blame JD. (Tuesday 8 April 2014; 13:16)
