Mystery guest? (44,084) by Alexys from USA I have yet to hear the album as I would like to wait for the release on Tuesday. But after reading the reviews, who is the "special guest" that she was keeping under wraps? Seems to me we knew who everyone would be, or was suspected to be, on the album. Did I miss something?

NBC (44,083) by Dan from US NBC does not list the Mariah special at all this week. Hmm so only promo is WMA on Wednesday? That's odd. (Sunday 25 May 2014; 13:28)

Make It Look Good (44,082) by Will from Australia Seriously can't get enough of Make It Look Good after a few days of listening to the album. Just a spectacular song. (Sunday 25 May 2014; 11:23)

One More Try (44,081) by Licia from USA I might be the only person who loves the goodbyes that she did. Lol. (Sunday 25 May 2014; 9:54)

Raden Ratna (44,080) by TJ from Norway All the lambs (fans) over the world did not love Triumphant. I for sure did not. Just saying. (Sunday 25 May 2014; 8:36)

Oh exactly that Nikki (44,079) by Marcel from Montréal, Canada I read someone wrote he/she loves and even understands why Mariah sang One More Time that high and obviously everyone of us are entitled to our opinion and taste but to me all those "ad-libs" and the goodbyes during the bridge and that high tone in her voice trashed the song in a way. I mean it's a beautiful song on its own and to me the best lyrically in the album but she took away all the seriousness and deep meaning of the song and sounds almost like a joke. I don't know maybe it is that George has some of the best songs in my opinion and such an incredible voice that I would've loved Mariah to deliver a more soulfull, serious rendition in a lower key belting and running but in a lower register without that many distractions through the song. Me as well am kind of liking Faded more and more. Maybe that's why they seem to want this as the next single, who knows. Waiting for Monday and WMAs. (Sunday 25 May 2014; 7:09)

Triumphant (Get Em) In Me I Am Mariah catalogue (44,078) by Raden Ratna Kesuma Joe-Yo from Singapore When Mariah Carey released Triumphant back in 2012 I really loved it, in fact all lambs around the world loved it and more excited. And it went to #1 on iTunes in several countries (but not in US). But well the song fail to chart on BB Hot 100 because alot of critics saying that Mariah sounded more featuring than her guest rapper and people tend to forget that she got a new single. Blah blah blah. But surprisingly when she released the hot remix it went to #1 in BB Hot Dance Chart I can say it's pretty fair. To me Triumphant is a very good Urban song and it got that vibe on it so I decided to include Triumphant (Get Em) Feat. Rick Ross & Meek Mill in Mariah's latest album Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse in my personal catalogue so that this inspiring song won't be abandon out of nowhere. it deserved to be in the latest album. (Just saying.) (Sunday 25 May 2014; 5:30)

Something unexpected (44,077) by Michele from USA I really am enjoying her new album and haven't felt this way since The Emancipation of Mimi. I love the dream-like/otherworldly atmosphere to the album, except for songs like "Thirsty", which doesn't really seem to go with the flow and shouldn't be on the album. What I would love for Mariah to do is something completely unexpected that would stun even her harshest critics. I remember when Charmbracelet came out (which is my favorite album of hers, yes, I guess I am the minority here), everyone was completely stunned that Mariah redid a Def Leppard song. I think she should go out on a limb here and do something totally unheard of for a "diva" - and cover some 90s alternative band hit, like Alice in Chains' "Would?" or Soundgarden's "Black Holed Sun". I don't think the critics would even know what to say and they'd be left looking like this. Lol. (Sunday 25 May 2014; 5:14)

Suggested Singles (44,076) by Jhonny from Guyana My top picks for released singles that would be potential hits: 1. You don't know what to do 2. Meteorite 3. Thirsty 4. Make it look good 5. One more try (Sunday 25 May 2014; 4:13)

Money ($ * / ...) (44,074) by Titanicology from Does anybody know what the ($ * / ...)? My theory is this, $ = Money, * = This, / = That, ... = The other. What do you think? MC is so clever. (Sunday 25 May 2014; 2:26)

Nikki's favorites (44,073) by Nicole from US My favorites are Meteorite, Cry, YDKWTD, Camouflage, Heavenly. Faded is growing on me. I am wondering on what could have been if Mariah sang One More Try in acapella. Could have been more emotional. I don't like the "Goodbye" 8 times or more during the bridge. I think it kinda took away the seriousness of the song. That's just me lambily. (Saturday 24 May 2014; 21:47)

Me I am Mariah (44,072) by Jimbo from UK I've only heard two songs and I love them equally. Faded is pop perfection and Cry. is a neo-soul classic. Most importantly, the songs sound fresh. They are a delight to hear. Can't wait for the rest. (Saturday 24 May 2014; 21:27)

Billy from England (44,071) by Martyn from England, UK Yes. I have the exact same list of favourites. And I agree with what you said the other day about videos as well, she needs some "Shake It Off" style videos. High budget, glossy and with a bit of a narrative. (Saturday 24 May 2014; 21:20)

Hurry up Tuesday (Nikki) (44,070) by Gilbert from USA Same here sister, same here. I like seeing everyone's post of what they like and don't like from the album and I got to say it really evened out on both side. I have my choices of songs I'm going to be adding to my phone and leaving the others just on my PC to take up storage space. (Saturday 24 May 2014; 19:44)

Me. I Am Mariah (44,069) by Billy from England, UK My faves on this album have to be Dedicated, #Beautiful, You Dont Know What To Do, Money, One More Try and The Art Of Letting Go. (Saturday 24 May 2014; 18:50)

Reviews (44,068) by Benjamin Fisher from United States Has anyone else noticed a pattern wherein, no matter what Mariah releases, certain reviewers/media outlets always give her the same so-so rating (3 stars out of 5 or "B")? And sometimes they give her great ratings for a so-so album. "E=MC2" got an A- from Entertainment Weekly. I really don't get it. Sometimes I wonder if they actually listen to the album, or maybe they just choose a rating based on the fact that it's a Mariah Carey album. Maybe people still don't like female artists who do things on their own terms? (Saturday 24 May 2014; 18:39)

Butterfly and Daydream mixed into one masterpiece (44,067) by Robert-Anthony from United States This is album is a masterpiece. Mariah gave us everything we have been asking for. I am speechless. It was well worth the wait. My favorite songs are Cry., Faded, Dedicated, Make It Look Good, #Beautiful, You're Mine (Eternal), and You Don't Know What To Do. I love the texture in her voice these days. I like the way she switches that texture up with every song. Let's make this album number 1 next week. She deserves to be number 1. I am very pleased with this album. I love every track. MIAM is one her best albums in her career. I will be at Target at 8am Tuesday to buy my copy. (Saturday 24 May 2014; 17:45)

Hurry up Tuesday (44,066) by Nicole from US I'm tired of listening to the AMEX commercials on iTunes. That woman's voice is annoying and I want to jump to the next track or repeat Meteorite over and over. (Saturday 24 May 2014; 16:59)

Lyrics (44,065) by Darryle from USA I heard Mariah left the lyrics out of the booklet. (Saturday 24 May 2014; 16:28)

WMA (44,064) by Rón from United Kingdom I think Mariah should do the WMAs with the new single, whatever song they may have chosen for it. In my opinion it should be YDKNWTD but then again, I still haven't heard any of the rest of the album. This should be followed by promo promo promo. Interviews and TV performances are essential for this era. It is the return of Mariah for the GP and hopefully will help the tour. The album has already had good reviews, but they can only do so much. I can't wait to hear the album so excited. (Saturday 24 May 2014; 16:23)

Money (44,063) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wow this song really is catchy. Although it took me 3 listens (I skipped over the first 2 times mid way). I am in love with the chorus. Yes yes it's the clichéd money don't matter song but it sounds great. MC, Fab and HB did great. Faded is song I am obsessed with. It's so beautiful. I love it. Mariah really outdid her self this time around. I hope this album catapults her back to the top. She deserves it. Beyonce's hugely successful album (mainly due to the shock value) only had like about 5 good songs out of 17. Mariah's album is perfection. I can't wait to see her perform these and also very excited for what singles she chooses and music videos. I hope the videos are not along the same line as her recent ones. Someone please call Brett Ratner. Mariah said she has plans of releasing the lyrics in a different way. Wonder what she means. (Saturday 24 May 2014; 15:15)

Me. I Am Mariah (44,062) by Billy from Greece Masterpiece (in capitals). Just speechless. (Saturday 24 May 2014; 14:16)

So proud (44,061) by Zachary from Croatia I listened the whole album last night looking at the stars on the sky with a glass of Pepsi in my hand and a big chocolate (it's like a tradition that I do) and I feel so proud of her. Very proud. Faded, Supernatural, You Don't Know What To Do, One More Try, Thirsty, amazing. The whole album is just epic. Big shout out to all of you from Croatia. (Saturday 24 May 2014; 11:06)

Happy (44,060) by Sasha from Nomansland I wasn't expecting so much greatness. This album is like a soft caress to my ears. It's sweet, soulful and emotional. I've been waiting for songs like Cry, Camouflage, Make It Look Good, Faded for years and then it happened. All songs are good. I might be the only one who likes One More Try, actually in the original version I find difficult to distinguish the melody of the song and with this cover it's more clear to me. I also think that she will probably release another album within two years because she probably has a lot of new material under her sleeve. (Saturday 24 May 2014; 10:36)

"Money" and "One More Try" (44,059) by Geronimo from USA I really like "One More Try" following "Money" because Mariah uses the cutest most innocent tone I've ever heard from her in those two songs. I am glad she doesn't use that tone in most of her songs because that would annoy me. But I appreciate this tone on those two songs because it matches the sentiment of both songs. At first I didn't love her rendition of One More Try because I thought she should have used a deeper, warmer tone. Now I think I get what she is trying to convey. Simply genius.
