One More Try / I'm in heaven (43,373) by Edward from USA I almost choked when I saw the length of "One More Try" on the new album. 6:21 min is wonderful. That means Mariah didn't shorten it, compromising the integrity of the song. I'm in heaven. George Michael's version is actually 5:53, but it seems that Mariah's version is nearly 30 seconds longer. She'd better sing the hell out of this song because George's version is wonderful. I know she's going to be using the whistle register a lot on it, and I can't wait. (Friday 9 May 2014; 0:17)

Love in this club Part 2 (43,372) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't know if you all knew this, but Usher wanted Mariah to do the female vocals for this song. But for some reason she ended up not doing it. Which is sad, because I really liked the original and Part 2. Mariah would have sounded beautiful on the track and her vocal chemistry with Usher is great. Anyways so Beyonce ended up doing it. (Thursday 8 May 2014; 23:04)

No single (43,371) by G.G. from USA I watched the Letterman interview and what I took from what Mariah said, there's not going to be a new single before the album is released. Did anyone else think that's what she is saying? I don't know if that's a good idea. I want this album to be a huge success and I do my part as a fan to promote it, but it seems like there is one mistake after another being made by MC and her team. (Thursday 8 May 2014; 22:39)

Mariahdaily.com is reporting that CNN spotlight is postponed (43,370) by Nina from USA What the hell is going on? I've been rendered speechless at this point. (Thursday 8 May 2014; 21:53)

Eh forget about May 27 (43,369) by Dan from US Just drop the album now it's finished, we only have one tv performance and it's over a week before the album is out on the Today show. Hopefully they have more promotion coming. (Thursday 8 May 2014; 21:24)

Mariah and Nick: headed for divorce? (43,368) by Joyce from USA Junk news I'm sure but if there be any reason I imagine, Mariah never really loved Nick as much as she thought. Her world was rather lonely and cold since the L. Miguel split. She wanted to be engaged to a life that was full and new and someone who was charming, good looking and also in entertainment had all the ingredients to sweep her off her tired feet at the moment. Nick married "Mariah Carey" the persona, the sex image, the woman of 20 years of success. The actual person is a whole other story. He is married to a performer who still adamantly desires to super sexually appeal to men around the world. And her sex appeal is at times across the line for most husbands. It’s one thing to simply be sexy but to ooze it publically and strategically incorporate it to every aspect of public persona is tiring to a spouse. (Thursday 8 May 2014; 20:53)

One More Try (43,366) by OGmattyICE from US Am I the only one who sees on Mariah Daily Journal that the song length of One More Try is only 0:21? This is making me sad. why would you do a 0:21 snippet of a George Michael cover? Argh. [Webmaster: Mariah Daily Journal made a typo, the length is 6:21.] (Thursday 8 May 2014; 19:53)

On Letterman (43,365) by JC from UK Anyone else found Mariah's voice sounding different? (Thursday 8 May 2014; 19:48)

Letterman (43,364) by Keagon michael from USA Ok I just want to add that her "stopping by" to see Dave is based on her seeing him one last time before he retires in the fall. The bookings are probably crazy full for his list coming to say goodbye. I saw her on there as that and only that. I do agree she could have sung but again she had 8 mins to chat and say goodbye to a guy that helped keep her career going over the years. I do think Mariah is still living in her bubble and doesn't care about "hits" one minute and then the next so she wants a 19th #1. Unfortunately her image is what is stopping people from preordering her album. The label could shelf this whole project any day. USA iTunes preorders have been about 4K according to sales figures. The label can not afford another flop single and video promotion. Mariah seems clueless as a business woman that CNN honors her for past achievements. I don't get it. All I can hope for is that "The elusive chanteuse" is an excellent album that the public can not do without. Prayers for this era. (Thursday 8 May 2014; 19:38)

Thoughts (43,363) by clueey23 from USA And I wish folks wouldn't take the age she drew her self portrait so literal. She had to have been around 5 or 6 and I say that just based off the fact that she drew a pack of cigarettes and all of the spelling was correct. We all know MC is eternally 12 anyway. Lol. If I was to go into MK ultra conspiracy mode, they put MC on some powerful drug to put her in a child like state and that was the picture she drew. Lol. (Thursday 8 May 2014; 19:28)

CD versions (43,362) by Gilbert from USA So maybe this is just me. I've been searching online during some free time and I'm noticing that the CD versions are more expensive maybe because it's a hard copy? Or maybe there is different bonus tracks. I think that would be neat, maybe that #Beautiful Dance Mix she played on the Lamb line. (Thursday 8 May 2014; 19:13)

Nina (43,361) by clueey23 from USA You sound silly. So what is she going to do for the Today Show next Friday? She gonna go on stage and talk? Just because she's not doing what you think is right doesn't mean she "can't sing". I think Letterman said it best last night with his words of advice for MC. And I really hopes she listens. People on this messageboard sound like who she was talking about in her CNN interview. (Thursday 8 May 2014; 19:13)

Mariah is over, part 7284 (43,360) by Matthew from USA Yes. It's official now. Mariah is no longer able to sing live. She is now only physically able to sing while within the confines of a studio. And we all know the reason the album was pushed back so much is because it takes a tremendous amount time as well as a team of hundreds to digitally piece together the ruined mess that is her voice. How do we know this you ask? We know this because she didn't sing on Letterman. (Thursday 8 May 2014; 19:12)

Mariah, album, tracklist, interviews and so on (43,359) by Sunshine Divalamb from Germany I think it's kind off sad to see how negative a lot of these messages here are. Yes this isn't Mariah's best era I agree. But some of you are picking apart every little thing, like it's more about pointing at things that are seen as negative than anything else. She can't do antything right no matter what. From the name of the album, the tracklist, the album cover, her interviews etc. etc. For me personally Mariah is human and she can't make everybody happy but enough is enough already. (Thursday 8 May 2014; 18:58)

Letterman (43,358) by THE TRUTH from USA Nina, it is ridiculous to say that MC can't sing live anymore. She has sung live brilliantly recently ie right after the Jimmy Kimmel Show. She has a medical condition that causes her to be inconsistent in all areas of her life. Haven't you noticed her fidgeting and sometimes erratic rambling? This is not new and while splashing does exacerbate it, drinking is not the cause. She is being ridden to the bank by a cabal of folks who are taking advantage of the ever worsening condition she's been in since 2001. Mariah's accomplishments are legendary and her fans should really stop waiting to celebrate over her rotting corpse. Her release comes out soon, and it'll be great or it won't, will be a success or not and it's as simple as that. She's still one of the best things to ever happen to pop music, period. (Thursday 8 May 2014; 18:31)

Lambs, please stop complaining (43,357) by Robert-Anthony from United States We have the tracklisting. We have a confirmed release date. We have the cover art. And everyday that I come to this website, all I read is negative comments and unhappiness about every decision Mariah makes for her new album. If she wants to add "America the Beautiful' to the Japanese edition, so be it. It is her decision and probably a fantastic studio version that I can't wait to hear. We as Lambs should be making plans to buy 2 copies of her CD when it comes out. We should be supporting Mariah as an established artist with numerous awards and acolades. She is not a new artist and we need to stop treating her as such. If she never has another #1 number single or album, she is set financially for life. I have one request for all the complainers during the next 3 weeks, let talk about the positive things and accomplishments MC has done throughout her career. If we want her to feel our love for her, support and don't hate. I am sure that we will have a new single next week for her to promote on the Today show. Greg Curtis ( Keyshia Cole - I Remember) produced Heavenly (No Ways Tired/Can't Give Up Now). Betcha Gon Know with R. Kelly is a new studio version recorded in Chicago in 2012. It's A Wrap is also new and recorded recently. Does anyone know who produced One More Try? Remember support and don't hate. (Thursday 8 May 2014; 17:26)

My final comments on the topic (43,356) by G.G. from USA I myself said I thought it was strange to include the track on the Japan only release. My sarcastic comment was because PJW made a rude comment about how the world views the U.S. Lets be clear, I could write long negative and factual diatribes about the U.K. and Canada, like others on this board have done regarding the U.S., but I won't. For the record, North America is a continent, not a country. Done, and moving back to the topic of this board. Mariah. (Thursday 8 May 2014; 17:02)

America the Beautiful (43,355) by Bill from the UK Who would have thought Mariah adding a bonus track on her album would incite a political and economic debate on this humble little messageboard. It's just a song, it ain't that deep. Just making a statement of my own opinion. I liked the Letterman interview, it wasn't the car crash I was expecting to be honest. Can't wait for the album. (Thursday 8 May 2014; 16:32)

It's official after Letterman appearance (43,354) by Nina from USA Mariah apparently can't sing live anymore. How could she go on Letterman two weeks before the release of her album and not sing? What a huge disappointment. I don't get it. (Thursday 8 May 2014; 16:27)

Politics (43,353) by Paul from Usa Take it someplace else sheesh. Half of you responding aren't American so why are you offended? Next topic please. (Thursday 8 May 2014; 15:30)

PJW (43,352) by Anthony Basco from Cardiff, Wales Good point, and I completely agree, as that is also my experience. They just don't "get" Mariah here. And I don't "get" why haha. Oh well. I guess that's why it's so wonderful to have a place like this where we can all meet and share our passion. For UK users this could be Mariah Fans Anonymous haha. (Thursday 8 May 2014; 15:18)

Geronimo (43,351) by Anthony Basco from Cardiff, Wales My husband is from the Phillipines as is his mother. You're speaking from visiting experience, I'm sharing my husbands views and his family's as Filipinos who were actually born and lived there. He doesn't speak for all Filipinos just as I don't speak for all British but his opinion is as valid as any other. I don't know who you think you are with your "you can tell a lot from the posts on this board" comment. I simply said that the States is not seen as the devil by everyone. (Thursday 8 May 2014; 14:08)

Japan tracklist (43,350) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I found it really weird that America the Beautiful was on the deluxe CD. I was looking forward to some new songs in the international release. Mariah had 4 years, and she gives that song on an international release? No offense to Americans, I am not judging anyone's nationality, but I think a lot of US lambs are also wondering the same. Yes it's true that American culture has inspired more or less every nation, even here in my country, but come on really? (Thursday 8 May 2014; 13:36)

Mariah (43,349) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter From the little portion of the interview I saw, Mariah is again talking about how she doesn't care about the single, she wants the album to be heard as a whole. I love and respect Mariah but I call bull**** on that. Come on Mariah, you attempted 3 separate singles (I am excluding TAOLG as it was "for the fans") to launch this album, and everytime it didn't hit #1 she kept delaying the album. Let's not kid ourselves, she's been trying to release the album since 2012 with all the MC Summer 2012 campaign and what not. However as soon as triumphant bombed, Mariah vanished and the song was later dubbed vaguely as "a song for Nick" or "buzz single". Then came a string of other singles, and apart from Beautiful each time a single didn't do well it was called "for the fans" and what not. Moreover she keeps talking about how she has 18 #1s, which in all honesty she should be proud of. So why pretend that you don't care for a hit single, when you really do. Mariah could have had a hit from atleast one of the 4 singles (including TAOLG) if only she would have promoted it more. Triumphant even had potential eventhough lambs hated it, but it was catchy and nowadays catchy sells. TAOLG, often cited as for the fans, wasn't for the fans. If that was the case she would have just released it on fb and announced it on twitter and whatever. She instead did multiple radio interviews, Fallon and even had a better cover photo than her official singles. Something went wrong and it got abandoned. (Thursday 8 May 2014; 13:32)
