First listen (43,851) by Licia from USA Mariah better do that. I was going to wait until the CD came out to listen, but gave in. It was well worth the wait. If I'm going to wait four years I want quality and she did it. That One More Try remake is stellar. She did George Michael proud. I find it funny that all the fans who were attacking JD are now singing his praises. Maybe he didn't do things the way TM did or Benny Medina, but he was doing something. At the end if the day like he said she's the boss. Anyway back to the happy. She did good. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 12:58)

Me. I am Mariah (43,850) by juan from Dubai Me. I am inlove with this album. Truly masterpiece. Truly an artwork of real talent, hardwork and love. I will be heartbroken if this will not go #1 and produce the 19th #1. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 12:57)

The album (43,849) by Elena from The Netherlands Just listened to the album. It's good, it's fresh. A very new sound from Mariah and finally no WBT style ballads, but mostly piano and her voice. One More Try is ok, but she sings it too carefully. George Michael poors his heart out in this and she doesn't try to get to that level when we know she can. I believe she should've covered it when she had that chrystal clear Daydream/Merry Christmas voice, then she would've done it really justice. Cry, Camouflage are amazing. I really love Thirsty and Faded. She really tried to give the lambily whatever style they like from her. Overall it's a good album, but some critical points: 1. She unfortunately sounds hoarse when she belts a lot of the times. 2. Her presence sometimes gets a bit lost under the production and arrangements. 3. I don't get Supernatural, it's a bit messy, all over the place. Dem babies are cute though. I give this album a 7/10. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 12:39)

Cry. (43,848) by Darryle from USA Left this out of my other posts. Cry is A+ amazing. I didn't put it as my favorite but it's definitely a fantastic song. It's classic Mariah and her vocals are amazing. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 11:32)

World Music Awards (43,847) by Darryle from USA This is the performance for this era. This has to be the performance where everyone is like Mariah just anointed us she just took us to church etc. This is the "Standing O" performance that she needs to get album off the ground. If she sings, dances (not likely), and works the stage even if it's just running back and forth and spinning in a circle then everyone will praise the performance. There can't be any hint of lip synching even if she does because if people think she is she'll definitely be called out for it. The WMA performance needs to be the performance were the lambs go to show the goats that Mariah still has it. She needs to snatch some wigs with this one. We need a performance and not just singing.

Charts (43,846) by Darryle from USA #27 on American iTunes chart. Looks like this first play has really helped Mariah. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 11:23)

Rant (43,845) by Darryle from USA Sorry for the uber long rant, this album is just so good I was trying to squeeze it all into one post. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 11:04)

Album (43,844) by Darryle from USA Ugh this album has given me life. It's a phenomenal album 10/10. This album is so different from what Mariah's ever done. Even with the comparisons you can find Mariah makes it so different that you can't really compare. I'm trying so hard to not give anything away right now. Every song has a different feel to it. This album really is a journey that takes you through her peaks and valleys. This album in my option has knocked TEOM out of the holy trinity of albums. It sounds like I'm exaggerating but I don't think I am. This album in my opinion is her best since Butterfly. It's the perfect mix of ballads up tempos and mid tempos. Not to many collabs the mix of hip hop, pop, and R&B is perfect. I can see why this album took so long to make. You can almost feel Mariah's perfectionism through this album with all the minor details; it really was all the tiny things that kept her in the studio. This album's low point is YME, it sticks out because it's not up to par with the other songs. All the songs really are stand out songs but my favs are: Supernatural, Camouflage, Heavenly, One More Try, and Make It Look Good. The writing, production, vocals, and instrumentation for this album are on point. This was definitely worth the wait. To all those saying you wouldn't buy please do you won't regret it. I hope people don't sleep on this like MOAIA. Mariah promote this and you can have another chart topper. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 11:03)

You Don't Know What To Do / album reviews (43,843) by Panos from Greece You Don't Know What To Do is definitely one of her best songs during the last decade. Hands down. It is exactly what I wanted for her to do for centuries now. The only thing that I can't ''digest'' is Wale's speaking during that breath-taking intro. The only thing that worths to stay during the intro is his word of ''empress''. If they don't make an official version without Wale's intro please someone from here do it. The rest of the song is perfect and the rap verses too. Furthermore, It wouldn't be bad if the live legendary choir ending was added. This song can become the next Get Lucky. Seriously, this got me thirsty for the album. Thirsty is also a favorite(that bridge) and deserves to be a hit but it's not as universal as Ydkwtd. And I heard that Meteorite is also a disco number. Yes. The only thing I concluded is truly missing after reading ukmix conversations is Mariah's growls. A rock-funky or rock-pop song with growls, high belting, and some whistling would really complete the album. Mariah mentioned last year in an interview that rock and hip hop have the same soul and like them both. Just one more song like that, along with country inspired Hope Street (rumoured to be single last year, I know I am repetitive sorry) would showcase all of her facets as an artist, in the last 25 years as Mariah said. But I don't want to be gready. She already delivered a variety album with her vocals being full and spawning from #G2 to C7 according to some. Who knows we might hear new stuff in Platinum Edition.

New album (43,842) by juan from Dubai I've heard the album and it is hands down amazing 5 stars. There's too many instant faves. It's not like Beyonce's album, like you say, "I will learn to love it soon", or EMC2 that you feel lost after the whole album. This is just great. Ugh we can stop criticising now and work our a**es off to promote this and bring it on top because M deserves to be on top. Lets werq. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 10:35)

New album (43,841) by Austin from USA I've listened to it 3 times already. I love it. It's everything. Dedicated, Make It Look Good, and Faded are my immediate jams. There's not one song I don't like. The gospel ending is killer. She really does George Michael justice on the cover song. I agree with some of you, You Don't Know What To Do needs a no rap version. The beautiful intro is ruined. I also feel that Supernatural is hindered by the baby voices. It's just overkill throughout such a beautiful song. Dem babies are cute, but their voices and giggles should only have been included in the end of the song. Love this album. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 10:14)

Supernatural (43,840) by Darryle from USA This song is so amazing. It's got like a fairytale/lullaby sound to it. It's like the impossible 2.0 but so much better. Roc and Roe can really sing. I thought when Mariah said they were singing that it was more like drawn out talking but they are for real singing. They're pretty good too. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 9:59)

Dedicated / YDKWTD (43,839) by Eternal from Italy Just from YDKWTD and Dedicated, Me. I Am Mariah already seems like one of her best albums, right up there with Daydream and Butterfly. The style, vocals and vibe of Dedicated seems like something that would have come straight out of her "golden era". For once a rapper sounds like he blends in with the song and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb like Wale did on YDKWTD. I'm so glad our Mariah has managed to win over even her hardest critics like Perez Hilton and TGJ with the past few songs. The Internet is all abuzz about YDKWTD and how it's the best song we've heard from her for ages (which is true). Wait until they hear the album in its entirety. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 9:51)

Make it look good (43,838) by Darryle from USA "Make it look good" is the track Stevie Wonder is on. His harmonica opens the song and plays through out. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 9:40)

Show Wale the door (43,836) by Stacey from USA So glad I am not the only one who thinks this guy ruins a great song. I heard the album version today and wow, what a great beat, vocals, lyrics, etc. Why does MC or whoever decide to put an annoying rapper over such amazing beats and vocals. It makes no sense. Ugh. I'm with you Edward. I hope she puts out a no rap version. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 8:47)

First listen of Mariah album now on iTunes Radio (43,835) by Alan from USA Just finished listening to the whole album in its entirety and I must say it's pretty good and can't wait to get my copy already. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 8:39)

Money ft Fabolous missing from first listen (43,834) by Christy from USA Anyone else notice this? (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 7:12)

Album first listen iTunes (43,833) by Gilbert from USA I have mixed feelings about this album and it could be because I'm a bit tired and should be asleep but I will say this, Mariah has done a great job with this album. Her voice is strong and she is actually singing like she can. So I'm glad I got to listen to the album and hope she gets the props she deserves because she brought it to the table. The one and only Mariah. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 6:50)

iTunes streaming (43,832) by Chicago Lamb from USA I hope this doesn't hurt album sales. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 6:18)

It's shipped (43,831) by virgo.miss from australia Hi all, this is my first post. I just got an email saying the CD of ME I pre-ordered has shipped. When I placed the order it stated that it would ship not earlier than 1 day before general release. So it must be on the shelves soon. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 5:22)

YDKWTD (43,829) by Jono from USA Mariah and Co, please please please release this track. You can also release Thirsty, but YDKWTD has a far greater mass appeal and can keep her in the conversation and thus promote the album. It seriously has hit written all over it. Thirsty appeals to her fan base, and it's a solid song, but it won't have staying power and may be another disappointing single that causes no buzz. YDKWTD has that potential to be a monster hit, and even non fans are loving the song. Plus it is absolutely perfect for summer. If this song is overlooked and skipped, it will be another regret. As Lambs we can request this song to be played on the radio and hopefully as it gets more popular, her team will realize that its getting a much larger response than Thirsty from the public. Also, I think it speaks volumes that the media is writing about this track, and not Thirsty. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 3:50)

You Don't Know What To Do (43,827) by NYHotShotta from USA As must of you are I've been hooked on this song since she performed it. I wish the studio version had Maryann, Trey, and Takeitha doing background vocals like the live version but I love the studio track nonetheless. Apparently tonight we can listen to the entire album on iTunes Radio. I already reordered the album I think I'm gonna wait tip it drops. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 3:49)

YDKWTD (43,826) by Special K from USA Heard YDK twice on the radio today. I'm addicted to that song. I haven't been this excited about a new Mariah Carey song since WBT. That song is pure perfection. Mariah has taken music to another level again. Nobody has a single out right now that even comes close. I agree, hope they release a version without Wale. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 3:49)

Wow (43,825) by Matthew from USA YDKWTD is giving me everything. And that intro is so diva. Lol. I love it. I was really scared for this album because of the fighting with the label and the push backs. I thought maybe the material wasn't up to snuff, so the label didn't want to support it. But everything from #Beautiful to YDKWTD has been pretty solid so I am at a loss for what's going on there. This latest song proves that if the label doesn't promote and support this album properly, it won't be because there aren't any hit-worthy songs on it. Mimi did what she had to do in the studio. Let's see how this plays out. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 3:25)

Critics (43,824) by B from USA Mariah delivers musically and she's criticised for being over weight. She said during her interview on the Today Show that the photoshoot took place a year ago so it's not like she's saying she looks like that now. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 3:14)
