One More Try / Heavenly / Meteorite (43,263) by Eternal from Italy One More Try is confirmed to be a George Michael cover. Frankly I had never heard the song before, but now that I have I am mesmerized by how hauntingly beautiful it is. Watch the gospel version live by GM and you'll get what I mean. I'm very curious as to how Mariah might interpret it. It's a good song for a cover, because it's not too well-known and so the ears of a listener are "fresh". I think she can give her own unique spin on it like she did for The Beautiful Ones on the Butterfly album. It's going to be hard to surpass GM's original version, but a female voice on a male song is always different. Heavenly sounds like a gospel song, I wonder if it's the song that features the Love Unlimited Orchestra as Billboard mentioned. And apparently Meteorite is a disco-influenced song that is similar to the Fantasy and Honey vibe. These song titles are giving me life right now. What about you lambs? Which song are you excited about? We've been lamenting for the past few months about tracklists, but there hasn't been much discussion about it now that we've finally gotten our wish.

Album release and singles (43,262) by Isabelle from USA If she wants people to hear her body of work of this album then there shouldn't be no album streaming from Spotify or be able to buy an individual single of the album when it is released. This will help encourage non-lambs to purchase her album. Then when releasing a single she needs to start uploading lyrics videos instead of just audio videos to VEVO and YouTube. This will help improve views to her channel. (Monday 5 May 2014; 3:56)

Hidden story behind new album (43,261) by QueenMc from Usa, California I have some more fantasies: New album dedicated to childhood teacher? Why did Mariah cover George Michael - One More Try? Is there more meaning to this album then we already don't know? Is there a secret hidden behind this new album? (Monday 5 May 2014; 2:09)

What should lambs worry more? (43,260) by Isabelle from USA People are saying that she needs a hit single for the album to sale. Lets remember if there is no demand for an album worth of music from an artist is not going to sale if even if you have a hit single. JLo had the biggest song of her career with On The Floor, yet her album flopped in the US. Then there is Pharrell that has currently has the biggest song out now and yet its parent album is struggling to hit Gold. Lambs shouldn't be worrying about how she is promoting the album to get big first week sales. We should be focusing on how she is going to be promoting it after the release.

#1 single (43,259) by Jhonny from Guyana Mariah needs to release a new single now along with the video. Please don't release a video after the single. No videos with sitting positions, you need more movements. Put a guest like Wentworth Miller in your next video. (Monday 5 May 2014; 0:38)

World Music Awards (43,258) by Justin from USA - Los Angeles Vote for Mariah in all categories. Vote #Beautiful for best song. Vote here. (Monday 5 May 2014; 0:01)

Imperfect (43,257) by Danny Braden from Uk Talking about unreleased music, there must be loads and loads. Have you heard "Imperfect"? Originally meant for MOAIA. (Sunday 4 May 2014; 22:43)

Me. I am Mariah (43,256) by Dan from US Will not flop. Let's focus on her music and her story she's trying to get across. I can't wait to see Mariah on the Today show. (Sunday 4 May 2014; 21:43)

TAOLG, Edward (43,255) by Jeremey Carey from United States I agree with you. Her vocals are less strained. Like her vocals in Australia last year when she sang a cappela, she was belting upto Eb5 and that shows that she's still got it. I'm really excited about the vocals we will receive on Heavenly. I think she will actually push herself and take better care of herself now more than ever, knowing she's got to bring her A game for what might be her second biggest comeback album. (Sunday 4 May 2014; 19:01)

Unreleased music (43,254) by Darryle from USA I was listening to MJ's new song and it got me thinking about Mariah's unreleased material. I hope she gets to record or release it before she dies or something happens to her God forbid. It would be a shame if all her music went unheard or if people did like they're doing with MJ and try to complete it. There are so many songs we haven't heard yet. There's Satisfy with Michael Jackson, Crystal Ball with Lauren hill, the Crave song, the songs from her demo tape and many more. She should just release it all and get it all out there for the world to hear. (Sunday 4 May 2014; 15:05)

Starpulse article (43,253) by Andrew from UK Just read the Starpulse article, if I'm being honest, it's worryingly accurate. The album really does need a big single, like now. Otherwise, I feel the commercial success is at stake. We all know how critics will pan the lack of success with the previous releases off this album. I must say though, I love the album title, it's very MC. She seems to be having fun with the title. And I love the art work, who cares if their is a little airbrushing. Everyone does it, I'd airbrush myself if I could. Let's hope she pulls a hit single/decent video out the bag, and shows everyone that it's the return of the voice. (Sunday 4 May 2014; 10:49)

Edward / album effort (43,252) by Marissa from USA I understand exactly what you're saying Edward. Although I wasn't a fan of TAOLG, it did sound effortless. Ironically, the fact that her vocals weren't perfect on TEOM made me love the album even more. It wasn't typical effortless Daydream Mariah, but the strain in her voice really made me feel like she put her heart and soul into her songs (especially Mine Again and the ending of WBT) which is why TEOM will always be my favorite. To me it's always sweeter to see people succeed when you know they made a strong effort to do so. I honestly don't care if her vocals aren't Underneath The Stars level anymore, I just want to feel like she really tried on this album. (Sunday 4 May 2014; 5:43)

Mariah's chance at winning with this album (43,250) by Edward from USA I just know one thing, if Mariah wants to really have success with this album, she'd better be singing, real singing, not whispering on this album. I think that her voice in the studio is in way better condition that it was back in 2005 when TEOM came out. I say this because TAOLG doesn't sound strained at all like some tracks on TEOM (Mine Again). It was a great thing to change the name of the album too, since what had been associated with the title "The Art Of Letting Go" was already bad. This is like a new fresh star, let's hope for the best. (Sunday 4 May 2014; 2:04)

The elusive chanteuse (43,249) by Danny Braden from Uk I can't stop watching the promo video of Mariah explaining the album title. It's so ethereal and her voice just immerses you. I wish she would do a re take on stories like an audio Bol of fairytales with whispering and singing parts. The part where she says "the elusive chanteuse" and then the echoing laughter just fills me with goosebumps. (Sunday 4 May 2014; 1:05)

Promo (43,248) by Kyle from USA I'm excited. We haven't seen IDJ promo this much since TEOM. They want this to be huge. They need this album to be huge. A new "surprise" single will drop any day now with a Clear Channel deal. It'll push that single across all formats like the deal with #Beautiful and that should see album sales sky rocket. I already bought my copy of the album, have you? (Sunday 4 May 2014; 0:22)

Sales / promo (43,247) by Dan from US I hope Coldplay's second week sales isn't higher than Mariah's first week sales. They usually have big first week sales and a very decent second week. I hope the promotion picks up after her Today Show concert into the album release. She needs a new song out now impacting radio. The Today Show is huge, idk why it couldn't be the week the album is released. Maybe she will release a surprise single out to iTunes soon. Wishful thinking. (Saturday 3 May 2014; 13:32)

Mariah promotion (43,246) by Jhonny from Guyana It's great to see Mariah starts promoting her album. She needs to continue to make appearances and meeting fans. Her videos needs more movements and storylines and not just staying in one postion singing and taking shots. Hope her next single can have an impact on radio and iTunes. All the best Mariah and I will certainly buy your album. (Saturday 3 May 2014; 11:14)

Left over songs / promotion (43,245) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I so hope that what you all are saying about Mariah releasing a part 2 of this album is true. It would be awesome. She was working on this album for 4 years and must already have loads of songs in it, especially ones that was on the original version of the album - TAOLG. She did mention she added 3 songs so that means she probably scrapped off 3 other songs. So yes, the thought of a sequel excites me. Secondly, I was thinking what if Mariah has surprises planned for us for each day of the month. She creating one buzz after another since the end of April. Starting with the surprise Billboard cover, then all the other magazines. Then she drops the big bomb - album details for which we lambs were dying. It doesn't stop there, she practically shuts down Times Square. She is taking over Fuse on the 6th along with being featured in CNN's leading women. She will be on Letterman on the 7th. Today Show concert on 16th. But who is to say she will not have more surprises in between these appearances? I think Mariah realized how some of her awesome singles didn't perform the way it should have since she didn't promote it and so now she is coming out in full force. I hope she announces a new single too. I am being greedy but hey can you blame me? I love me some Mimi. (Saturday 3 May 2014; 3:09)

Re: Adam - MC's wrist (43,244) by nikki from usa I've been an LMT for 7 years working with chiropractors and rehabilitation injuries. Mariah is correct, it would be very important during this time for her to do exercises for her hand and keep her wrist straight. Mariah didn't just dislocate her shoulder, she also broke her ribs. Unfortunately, ribs like toes aren't something that can be remedied. There's nothing you can do for them, but let them heal on their own and give the patient pain killers. But, that's dealing with all sorts of nerves that also travel down to the arm. You have to keep in mind that Mariah's lower arm/hand hasn't been working properly since July. Have you ever had your foot fall asleep? You'll notice after you readjust it still takes a few minutes for the feeling to fully return, because it took a few minutes for you to continually cut the proper flow from getting to it. Her hand hasn't been getting proper nerve signals for 10 months, it could take just as long to get back to full recovery. Since those nerves have been "asleep" Mariah will continually need to do her exercises to wake them up. (Saturday 3 May 2014; 2:41)

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. (Saturday 3 May 2014; 0:50)

To Victor Peralta (43,242) by Isabelle from USA That can be true. Maybe that all-at-once album she was talking about was not about this album, it might be a surprise second album. Kick Rocks is a song that she mentioned that was left out could be on it. Haven't anyone noticed that "The Elusive Chanteuse" title is left out from the cover. I hope this could be true. (Saturday 3 May 2014; 0:18)

Time to get Mariah to go viral (43,241) by T from USA Hey everyone, Time magazine has been very kind to Mariah in the last few days. Right now on their website they have a feature that allows you to create your own Me. I Am album cover. Make sure to take part and share it on Facebook. If it spreads it could be very good promotion for the upcoming album. Have fun. (Friday 2 May 2014; 23:46)

Victor Peralta / tracklist (43,240) by T from USA That tracklist that was posted last fall was already acknowledged to be fake. So don't expect a part two album anytime soon. These 15 new songs are the album. (Friday 2 May 2014; 23:44)

MJ and JT (43,239) by Blake from USA I doubt MJ's new single will cause problems for Mimi. First of the song is great but it is from 1983 and in my opinion JT ruined the song. A lot of people are negative about the song because MJ never wanted it released. You can't put JT with MJ it just doesn't work. Regardless I know it's making a big impact but Mariah hasn't had this much buzz since Memoirs so I think she is safe. Help share the pre-order. Help the buzz. (Friday 2 May 2014; 23:19)

Tracking list differences and my guess on what will happen with the songs not included on this album (43,238) by Victor from Costa Rica Hello lambs. I'm very curious about Mariah's new album. Based on what was reveled back in September, here is the previous track list shared. The list of songs of the new album "The Art Of Letting Go": 01. Make It Look Good 02. #Beautiful (feat. Miguel) 03. You're Mine 04. You Don't Know What 05. Hope Street 06. Lullaby of Birdland 07. The Art of Letting Go 08. I Can't Love U (feat. R. Kelly) 09. Mr. Operator 10. Hurricane 11. This Cannot Be Love 12. I'll Still Be Around (feat. Stevie Wonder) 13. Heart 14. Save The Day As you can see, only 6 songs out of 14 will be included in her new album. So I guess the songs that were not included on Me: I am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse will be released on a second sequel of this album (like what JT did with the 20/20Experience). I'm pretty sure that the special guest has not been revealed yet because the main stuff will be released on the sequel. But she mentions it now because both albums are part of the same project. And for me including Betcha and It's a Wrap makes sense because I'm sure this will be the last project she will have with IDJ, so she will make sure all the material she recorded with them see the light of the day. I wouldn't be surprised if in the sequel of this project included the version of "Yours" she recorded with JT back in 2002. IDJ will have to release a Greatest Hits album anyways, so probably most of the songs will be included on it. What do you think? Am I crazy? (Friday 2 May 2014; 22:49)
