Facebook photo note (42,481) by Ryan from the Philippines I'd like to complete her sentence: "Not too much pronunciation. It's very E.A.S.Y. 'To Love Me'." Lol. Now she wants us to be good inventors. But I'm on for the game if she wants us too. Yes, To Love Me sounds cute and sweet and not too heavy-hearted as compared to the previous album title. But E.A.S.Y. sounds more matured and current. Now I can't wait for the title. (Friday 4 April 2014; 13:10)

Tony (42,480) by Will from England It could just be a side note for how to pronounce a single line in a song lol. Not to overdo it. Oh well, we shall find out soon. (Friday 4 April 2014; 11:18)

New album title (42,479) by Tony from Ireland Hi everybody. Well I'm so excited about the new album and the new era. I really think Mariah just told us the title on the picture she post a few hours ago on Instagram and Facebook. She makes a reference to an old title by saying "not too much pronunciation". The art of letting go was a long title and just under this sentence we can read "To love me", maybe I'm completely wrong but otherwise the picture makes no sense to me. People knowing how playful Mariah is, maybe I' m on the right path. And I do love much more "To love me". Anybody thinks the same? Peace and love. (Friday 4 April 2014; 10:28)

New album (42,478) by NYHotShotta from USA I think Mariah's label wasted releasing The Art Of Letting Go as a single especially when the single's cover art and title should have been held for the album. But anyways, I can't do anything about it. I just hope this album is mindblowingly great for all the wait. (Friday 4 April 2014; 6:32)

The listening party that wasn't (42,477) by Edward from USA Mariah is just doing what she did before TEOM was released. She gathered with radio programmers from the biggest radio stations and reconnected with them. She knew that for her to succeed, she needed to be played on the radio. Before TEOM dropped, we had a voice-over copy of Say Something, Tonight, and finally ILT as an official single. WBT and SIO saved the day. Mariah needs to have some great singles lined up should she want to have a slight chance at succeeding with this album. She should pay attention at the tracks selling more when the album drops, because had she done that with E=MC2 or MOAIA, things would've been different. Migrate and Betcha Gone Know indicated sale wise that those should've been the following singles. I hope she pays attention this time. (Friday 4 April 2014; 5:42)

Mariah carey photo shoot (42,476) by Justin from USA - Los Angeles These photos that Terry Richardson has taken before are so risqué and controversial. I can't wait to see what he has in store for Mariah. (Friday 4 April 2014; 1:21)

Radio programmers/"listening party", my two cents (42,475) by Will from England Ok, so it wasn't a listening party, but I do think it was a smart move. Think about it, Mariah needs radio to get the single to lift off, and what better way to get some ground in that area, than to hold an event where she can interact with different DJs from everywhere at once and get on their good side? As we all know, radio too has an age thing about what music should be played, so Mariah has to work extra hard to get DJs to play her new songs. So by holding a little party for various DJs around the country, maybe it may get them inclined to play her new songs, so that it can get plenty of airplay around the country. It may have not been quite what anyone really expected, but none the less, it was a smart move. And think about it, with all these DJs and their phones plus other people, do you really think Mariah would blast out brand new music for it to be leaked? Nuh huh, Mariah's going to wait for the right time and let it out slowly and controlled. In 2 days, it was be exactly one month before the album is released, Mariah has time to drum up some promo, but she will still need radio on her side. (Friday 4 April 2014; 1:04)

Listening party with no details (42,474) by Randy from USA Seems shady. But I do think releasing the album as titled "0506" would be cool. Usher did a similar thing with 8501 and Jewel released hers as 0304 way back when. (Thursday 3 April 2014; 23:21)

Listening session confusion (42,473) by G.G. from USA How do you have a listening session for radio directors and DJ's from around the country and not let them hear any music from the new album? That makes no sense at all. Surely she let them hear something new. Otherwise they went to NYC to sit in a room with her for what? (Thursday 3 April 2014; 23:01)

Bill / album title (42,472) by Edward from USA Bill, I completely agree with your album title. It should be named May 6th, and the next one May 7th, and the next May 8th. What a wonderful idea. I'm praying for your wish to come through. Of course those would be album names in LaLa Land. (Thursday 3 April 2014; 22:55)

Beyonce duet (42,471) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Someone wrote a few posts below, and the title was "Duet with Beyonce", I wanted to ask what makes them think that? I'm all for it, but I haven't heard anything about it. Is there a rumor? (Thursday 3 April 2014; 22:50)

May 6th (42,470) by Bill from the UK I think Mariah should re-title the album "May 6th" as that is what I have been calling it in my head since the promo came out for it. Lol, that would be funny as we've all been here going on and on about the album not being titled when it was there right in our faces the whole time. (Thursday 3 April 2014; 22:10)

Mariah (42,469) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So Mariah is working with Terry Richardson for her photoshoot for Wonderland magazine. He's known to be a little on the shady side, taking provocative pictures. In one of the instagram shots, it appears as though Mariah is in a 2 piece lingerie under an unbuttoned trench coat. Gotta have to wait for the final product to judge. (Thursday 3 April 2014; 22:08)

New album (42,468) by Musti from UK I think it's safe to say that the album is coming out on May 6th. Otherwise she wouldn't have offered details about the album to the DJs from all around the US and confirm the release date. I actually like that there's a lot of secrecy surrounding the album. Please note that not even the DJs got to hear any new music from the album yesterday. Do we really need to remind ourself of the "Beyonce effect"? Clearly it works. Considering overall shrinking album sales, Beyonce's album sold thousands in a few hours as if it was running off somewhere. Mariah has always liked to give her lambs bits of information, like announcing the name of Thirsty. And perhaps she felt like she owed her lambily a release date, given the number of delays this album has gone through already. Other than that I'm quite happy with the way things are moving. I still believe there will be a new single a week or two before the album itself. But again, all hush hush for the moment. Have faith people. With or without a new single, the album is coming.

How do I view whole topics? (42,467) by sarah from australia Hi everyone. I am a new member. This site confuses the hell out of me.

I can't find any FAQs on this website to clear up confusion to visitors either. I don't even know if I would be able to see if any one replies to this. Can the owners or mods on this website please email me explaining how this message board works because I am confused as hell. [Webmaster: This is not a forum, but a messageboard. All messages are listed in chronical order. If you want to know what has been discussed, just read all the messages.

Listening party (42,464) by Myles from CT, USA Where the hell are the details? Tracklisting? Album title? Ugh I need to know. (Thursday 3 April 2014; 19:32)

Re: Billboard charts (42,463) by nikki from usa I have to say, I'm really impressed how high this song has climbed on so many charts. This song has been marginally promoted by her label, if at all, and MC only did like 7 radio interviews with a single performance of this song from the get go. Then, she remained silent ever since, for the past month. Yet, it still continued to climb. If she'd just sing it live a few times somewhere it would easily surge again and become a top 20 hit across the board. At the very least. I can understand complications at the label. But, because MC is a perfectionist and clearly isn't ok releasing the album until it's "right", I don't see her skipping promo duty for family time. Especially, since she's the one who wanted to go on tour. I was watching Glitter last night. The one really unique thing about this film is it really focuses on the behind-the-scenes aspects of record labels. From the purpose and roles of managers, producers, publicists, etc. The major role of publicists is to set dates for interviews, shows, and overall for the artist to be seen and heard by the public. They're usually employed by the label. If the label is in an uproar, perhaps Mariah is in between publicists right now. (Thursday 3 April 2014; 19:18)

Questions? (42,462) by B from USA Triumphant (Get Em) was a flop. #Beautiful featuring Miguel was a hit and peaked at #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at #3 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Tracks Chart. The Art Of Letting Go was released to the fans for the fans by Mariah on her official Facebook page. You're Mine (Eternal) is still climbing the charts. Mariah delayed her album last summer so it wouldn't be overshadowed by Kanye's Yeezus. She's smart and she's talented. She is the voice and she has written 17 #1 songs. Her talent has and is not being questioned by the media, it's her fans/stans/lambs that are doing the questioning. It's sad. She's known for being a perfectionist and working herself into the ground and yet some of you are asking where is Mariah? She's in the studio mixing her album and doing touch ups. She's also most likely working on her body with her trainer. She always makes sure her body looks amazing when she has an album dropping. (Thursday 3 April 2014; 18:51)

Hits Daily Double (42,461) by Dan from US Hits Daily Double has it posted TBD album title out on May 6. (Thursday 3 April 2014; 18:07)

Billboard charts update (42,460) by Angelo from Italy Here is the You're Mine (Eternal) single charts update for this week: Adult Contemporary: #28 (peak: #26) Adult R&B songs: #23 (peak: #20) Dance Club Songs: #12 (...) Hot R&B Songs: #23 (peak #15) Pop Songs: #37 (peak #36) Rhythmic: #37 (peak #35) The Dance Club chart position is great, I think next week the single will climb straight to the top 5 of that chart. Without any promotion, I'm so happy for this single chart conditions. (Thursday 3 April 2014; 14:59)

[censored] (42,459) by JC from UK [censored] I really wonder what pieces she's going to be presenting us soon. (Thursday 3 April 2014; 14:01)

Mariah Carey melody (42,458) by Darryle from USA Can anyone tell me how to post a video on the messageboard? I found a really cool video of Mariah songs but don't know how to post videos. It would be greatly appreciated. (Thursday 3 April 2014; 12:46)

Listening party family timing (42,457) by Spir Ja from USA I loved the twitter video outtakes of the party, complete with staffing company hosting. Brilliant that it's a Roc and Roe moment. Both projects drop in a month. That's coordinating the family schedule right. Makes sense. All the hullabahloo regarding her album drop is because of corp politics. Poor MC, the drama she has to work around while the lambily sweat and it's clear she is having fun and Nick is just full force blooming. Neither of them give a flying [censored] if anyone hates their product, I wager. (Thursday 3 April 2014; 11:32)

Listening party (42,456) by Dav from Ireland Any reports from the listening party? What are the new songs like? (Thursday 3 April 2014; 11:08)

Where is Edouard part 1 (42,455) by jaker20 from US Lol. My post doesn't make much sense now. [Webmaster: I never received part 1, so I think there went something wrong when you tried to submit your message. Maybe you should post that part again.] (Thursday 3 April 2014; 10:37)
