X Factor UK (48,361) by Will from England Mariah has been getting a lot of love on X Factor UK recently. I've never heard/watched her songs been sung so many times outside of "Mariah Carey Week" back in 2008. (Sunday 7 December 2014; 1:25)

The Talk (48,279) by Will from England These ladies got it right. (Friday 5 December 2014; 14:29)

NBC Tree Lighting (48,168) by Will from England Whilst I am sceptical of the accuracy of the article, the Daily Mail is reporting that she will be performing live instead of a pre-recorded performance. Anyone else seen this? (Wednesday 3 December 2014; 18:41)

H.A.T.E.U - Remix ft Oj Da Juiceman, Big Boi, Gucci Mane (48,023) by Will from England Shout out to this fantastic remix from Memoirs that sadly never really saw the light. I love that she re-sang that song and the whistle notes in the background. It's just great and I love it. But I wish it was available to buy. (Sunday 23 November 2014; 11:40)

Matteo (47,964) by Will from England She's just murmuring the lyrics as she is writing them down. For "Faded" it's just "It was overcast that, and I was feeling some kind of way" whilst for "You're Mine" it's just "I can't seem to give you up, you're mine". As for "Money" I thought she said "I can't leave it like that", which makes me think that she may have originally ended the album on "Camouflage" before recording new songs post-shoulder injury.

William (47,431) by Will from England I think it's something more to do with the fact that there seems to be some disfigurement on her hand. If you take a look at the aquarium photos, with Mariah pointing up next to Monroe, you can see that between the thumb and index finger, there is a "gap" (for lack of a better word), where there should be some muscle. Whilst I do believe there still could be some residual nerve damage there (I mean, who knows at this point), Mariah may just be wanting to cover that up. (Tuesday 14 October 2014; 16:47)

One hour audio (47,103) by Will from England If you click here, you can listen to an hour of audio from the show. Sounds a lot better than what has been filmed so far. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 20:59)

May (47,077) by Will from England I must say, this is the first I'm hearing/seeing about a backlash to those Aquarium pictures lol. Even the Daily Mail readers had more positive comments about Mariah than usual, which is very strange because those readers are usually the first to jump on the "I Hate Mariah Carey And All That She Is" bandwagon. (Saturday 4 October 2014; 10:01)

Elusive chanteuse show (47,056) by Will from England Do you think that if Mariah lives up to her promise of new songs during the shows, she'll release them as she goes along? (Thursday 2 October 2014; 22:47)

Edward (46,817) by Will from England Since when was Wendy a man? (Wednesday 17 September 2014; 15:41)

Stacey (46,342) by Will from England I was thinking exactly the same thing this morning (that "Camouflage" is this album's "Petals"). It saddens me that she writes her best songs when she's sad/upset. (Sunday 24 August 2014; 17:28)

Me. I Am Mariah (46,230) by Will from England With all that has been going on between Nick and Mariah, listening to the album is a different other experience. And listening to the lyrics a little bit closer, the album is full of a pain that I had not noticed before and it's the rawest lyrical album that Mariah has ever put out, excluding Butterfly, hands down. Mariah doesn't need to release a statement about whether or not the rumours are true, because as far as I am concerned, the album speaks in volumes about the whole situation. And I realise now what she meant by it's the journey of the past few years, and to be honest, it's so sad to hear her unhappy. The music may be disco-esque on some songs, but the lyrics tell a different story. I hope that they can work it out with the trial separation. Anyone remember when Mariah said that if she had had a trial separation with Tommy, she'd probably still be with him? (Friday 22 August 2014; 13:22)

Manny from U.S. (46,139) by Will from England Hi Manny, it's just her murmuring the lyrics to the song, and noting them down. The tapping is just the sound the iPhone makes when the keys are hit. So, it's like you're hearing her creative process and coming up with the lyrics/noting down the lyrics on her pad of paper/iPhone before we go into the song. If you listen real carefully, you'll hear she does the same to "You're Mine" (album version). (Tuesday 19 August 2014; 21:50)

Mariah's shoes glued to the stage? (45,814) by Will from England Maybe I was watching a different performance to you guys, but from what I saw, Mariah did what she usually does (hip swaying to the beat etc). It was not more or less than what she does on stage. I enjoyed the performance and the two whistle notes (lipped or not). (Monday 4 August 2014; 19:06)

Carlos Jaramillo (45,094) by Will from England Don't Forget About Us remix; H.A.T.E.U. remix with Gucci Mane/JD; Triumphant remixes; #Beautiful remixes; You're Mine remixes, just to name a few remixes that she has resung recently. True, she doesn't re-sing all her remixes anymore, but to say that she doesn't re-sing at all is a bit of a stretch. (Tuesday 24 June 2014; 22:33)

Meteorite performance (44,495) by Will from England It's a pity that we may never get to see that performance. I hope Mariah's team will be able to get the footage and upload it to her Vevo account, since that seems to be the thing to do nowadays. It would help promotion in some way. What do you guys think? And congrats on the top 3 album debut and the #1 debut on the R&B chart. (Thursday 5 June 2014; 2:37)

Mary J. Blige (44,425) by Will from England For the record, I like the two MOAIA duets. I really do. And I've only just realised that Mary is only the second female artist that Mariah has sung with on a record. The first being naturally, Whitney. (Monday 2 June 2014; 18:08)

Reviews (43,904) by Will from England The reviews I've been seeing have been more than positive. I love the album. I think it's fantastic. "Supernatural" gets me every time and I don't know why. "Cry." is everything I wanted it to be. As far as I'm concerned, it's the combination of "Petals" and "Breakdown". Loving "Camouflage" as well. Stellar writing and so different compared to E=MC2 and MOAIA. She sounds confident in her voice, which sounds so strong. And where there is some auto-tune, it has a purpose being there (i. e. just for an effect, rather than to support her voice). (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 22:31)

Mariah's dress (43,791) by Will from England Mariah's dress that she wore for her Today Show performance really reminded me on her GMA performance for TEOM, you know, the golden-ish shimmering ball gown etc. It looked great and she sounded great IMO. Were parts of the performances lipped? Maybe. But out of all her performances thus far, she sounded great that day. (Sunday 18 May 2014; 19:19)

Will from Australia (43,787) by Will from England Different release dates for different countries. So Australia will be one of the first countries to hear the whole album. (Sunday 18 May 2014; 13:13)

Nikki / single releases (43,738) by Will from England So, if Mariah is going by that strategy (performing brand new songs but not releasing them, to drive up the pre-order sales), does that mean we could potentially get another brand new song for the awards show? I mean, that strategy does make sense, to me in any case. Technically, neither Mariah or JD have called either song "the new single". JD certainly never tweeted out the word "single" as far as I am aware, and neither did Mariah/Mariah's team. Yes, the DJ called "Thirst" the new 'single' (and as far as I am aware, it hasn't been released onto iTunes as a separate single, do correct me if I'm wrong), and JD quoted him, but never really confirmed it. Yes, there was the "single cover", but point out to me where anyone says the words "single cover". So, maybe this is all part of Mariah's ambition to get everyone to listen to the album as a whole. If that is the case, then that's a brilliant move and certainly one way to get album sales up for the first couple of weeks. (Saturday 17 May 2014; 1:49)

You Don't Know What To Do (43,679) by Will from England This song needs to be a single, like, right now. This very minute. This very second. I can't get this song out of my head because it is so catchy. (Friday 16 May 2014; 15:07)

Paul (43,521) by Will from England Lol, the song isn't about "splashes" at all. It's about someone who dumped her to strive for their own dreams, instead they ended up looking desperate, or in this case, thirsty to achieve the same level of success that Mariah has. "The best thing that happened to your a$$ was me" pretty much sums it up. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 16:23)

Thirsty (43,518) by Will from England Hot. Hot. Hot. It really reminds me of Migrate and that's a good thing. So catchy. It's impossible not to listen to it and not bounce around in your seat. I know that it won't be what most of the lambs on here will like. But I do. And I can't wait to buy and download it. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 15:49)

New single (43,509) by Will from England If you have not seen yet, Mariah's brand new single is due to be debuted on "Breakfast Club" at 9am (US time) today. It was confirmed by Jermaine Dupri on his twitter account. There is a rumour going round that it is going to be "Thirsty". (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 12:42)
