First glimpse (43,119) by Sunshine Divalamb from Germany We got the first glimpse of the album 3 years ago, you can see the drawing she now used in Life & Style 2011. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 10:52)

Lee (43,118) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The origin of the title is actually legit. This same picture was featured in one of Mariah's interviews years back. I can't remember which one, but it was there and the description was there too. I can't remember whether it was a TV interview or whether it was a magazine spread, but I definitely did see that picture before. So it's not a publicity stunt. Please don't just hate on her just because you don't know about it. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 10:50)

Re: Lee (43,117) by Sunshine Divalamb from Germany She was only referring to the picture not the title. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 10:42)

Me. I am Mariah (43,116) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wow to finally have a name and tracklist with the covers just very well got me speechless for a while. Yes, yes the release date tucked nicely at the end of the video did make me momentarily sad but hey I think it's for the best. Will give Mariah enough time to pull together her promotion strategy, be everywhere (in caps lock) so that everyone knows she's back. I loved both the covers. I would love to see the outtakes from this shoot, I think it's one of her best (the cover of Billboard and TAOLG is from the same shoot). Now that she announced the details, people will probably shut up about Mariah copying Beyonce. M is so smart, while she made us all think she was talking about Marilyn's piano, she instead went and took out a personal belonging. I personally like this titlte of the album than TAOLG. TAOLG sounded like she's giving up, where as Me. I am Mariah sounds like hey b**** (to all the other female artists) I am back to reclaim by throne. Moveover. It's simple, yet it sounds bold and confident. "The elusive chanteuse" adds a little mystery element to it. I noticed that Roc and Roe are not mentioned as featured guest on Supernatural. I am glad she included the 2 remixes from MOAIA, I already got to hear the other leaked remixes from that album and I loved them, and I was interested in these 2 versions. People may hate MOAIA but I loved it. It I never skipped even one track on that album. Now that release is pushed, she has time for a new single. *fingers crossed* Thirsty.

One More Try (43,114) by enwar00 from usa Ok last fricking post, I'm still up spiraling. Not really but I had to go there. I heard there's a cover. Is this it? Whoa. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 9:11)

Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse 5/27 (43,113) by K from Philippines All the while I thought this is a hoax but I guess it's official. New album 5/27. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 9:10)

What's in a name? (43,112) by Lee from UK I think it is very clever that they are cashing in on her name. Putting her name in the album title is a very good move. It will increase the likelihood of this album coming up when people search her name. It will give old school fans who haven't listened to her for years something to think about. It harks back to the Thanks Giving Special: Here is Mariah Carey. To me it sounds like a re-intorduction which will pique the interest of those who have been fans since the beginning. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 9:07)

The Elusive Chantuese (43,111) by Lee from UK I wonder of this is an inside joke or if they got the meaning of aloof and elusive mixed up. I have never heard anyone call Mariah this before. Perhaps it is in relation to her behaviour during interviews or the fact she is always late. The Tardy Chanteuse would probably more accurate. The only thing eluding Mariah at the moment is another number one. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 9:03)

Album covers (43,110) by enwar00 from usa Yeah, so it just dawned on me that the deluxe cover is literally the same pic that Wal Mart had in their ad last year when the album's incarnation was still The Art Of Letting Go. No wonder it looked vaguely familiar. Thanks Wal Mart, you fucking caused the delay. I definitely prefer the standard edition cover, she looks good and it goes along with #1's, The Emancipation of Mimi and E=MC2. Still the Billboard cover trumps all IMO. Oh well goodnight. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 9:03)

It's A Wrap and Betcha Gon Know (43,109) by enwar00 from usa I think it's kinda cool that the duet versions with Mary J. and R. Kelly are finally gonna see the light of day on the deluxe edition. I've never heard either of them. Anyone agree? (Thursday 1 May 2014; 8:44)

Promo (43,108) by Darryle from USA I know it just got put on pre order but where's the promo? I actually have to type the full album title to get to the album. Why isn't she in the pre order section or the big banner of albums and singles or recent releases? There should be something to get the attention of people on iTunes. As I'm typing this the albums been on pre order for like less than 4 hours so it will change when this message is posted or later on in the week. Hopefully. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 8:35)

Marissa (43,107) by enwar00 from usa Are you still going to boycott the album, even with the cute self portrait on the back cover? I wonder which 3 songs are the new ones she added that caused the latest delay. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 8:31)

Me. I am Mariah (43,106) by Lee from UK I am calling bull crap on the origins of this title and the picture that goes with it. 3 year old Mariah drew a picture with this title? It's cute but I don't believe it. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 8:30)

5/27 (43,105) by enwar00 from usa Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse. New album. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 8:27)

It's here (43,104) by Darryle from USA It's finally here. The pre order is here. I'm so excited right now I can't even. The album title is so much more meaningful than anything the fans could have come up with it's a really nice title. Slightly bummed it's not a double album and that the bonus track's are remix songs and a song we already heard. Extremely disappointed she pushed it back. So what happened to all at once release and May 6th? Very confused about that. Also where's the guest star the only person we haven't heard yet is Fabulous, everyone else we heard or were supposed to be on the MOAIA remix album. Her legs look ultra photoshopped in the standard edition but she still looks "Beautiful" haha. Quick question: All the people saying they're not buying it if it's pushed back since it is apparently pushed back are you actually not going to buy it? Over I'm really excited but still nervous as to what's gonna happen on May 6th until the 27th. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 8:26)

Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse (43,103) by enwar00 from usa So, what do you guys think of the album title? Certainly not one word like Journey or Champagne lol. Alright, the countdown restarts again. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 8:24)

Pre-ordered new album (43,102) by Marcel from Montréal, Canada I have just pre-ordered her new album "Me, I Am Mariah" (The elussive Chanteuse) Deluxe. Hope it is a good album although we already know 6 of those songs already: Beautiful, TAOLG, YME, Betcha Gon' Know with R Kelly, It's a Wrap with Mary J oh and a couple tracks marked as explicit lyrics. The cover is ok. The other cover (non-deluxe) is more of the same, extremelly photoshopped and barely dressed as usual with her. Anyway will need to wait until May 27 for it to be released. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 8:03)

The cover and tracklisting hace arrived (43,100) by David F from Mexico Hello, I am so excited. I feel the same emotions as the Emancipation, Enjoy the new adventure is already here. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 8:01)

Memoirs (43,099) by nOVA from USA Was totally underrated. It's a great album, totally lends itself to being listened to in its entirety. The songwriting is creative fun totally MC. If you haven't really given the album a chance you should, it will grow on you. Out if all her albums, I've been listening to that one the most lately. [...] (Thursday 1 May 2014; 7:57)

The Elusive Chanteuse (43,098) by Edge McQueen from Philippines I love the title. Now that the album release date, tracklist and album covers are announced, I hope Mariah is preparing for a massive promotional campaign. I would like her to shoot atleast 3 or 4 music videos so that when the album comes out and when we get to listen to the album as a "body of work", she is prepared to give us the first single (among the videos). I'm thinking "Thirsty", "Dedication", "Meteorite" and "Camouflage". Lol. I remember during the Butterfly era she shot 5 music videos before the album came out (Honey, Honey Remix, Butterfly, The Roof, Breakdown). If "One More Try" is indeed a George Michael cover, I am really excited. Her European, Asian and South American lambs and casual fans would surely love it. I am glad she pushed the release date to May 27, that way she has ample time to promote it. I hope she uses her time wisely this era. Live (truly live) performances (Billboard Awards, WMA) and interviews, as well as a whole lot of music videos - quality music videos. But then again, she may live up to her new title - The Elusive Chanteuse. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 7:39)

Me. I am Stacey (43,097) by Stacey from USA I like the title. It's finally nice to see things coming together. Of course I am getting the deluxe edition. It's A Wrap was one of a handful of songs I loved off MOAIA. So excited to hear her jam with Ms. Mary. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 7:32)

Album (43,096) by Faizal from South Africa Me. I am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse. Sold I officially cannot wait. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 7:27)

What you all been waiting for (43,095) by cailleb from usa Mariah just released the info for her new album. First time post. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 7:15)

My thoughts (43,094) by Nathan from USA So I'm not really feeling the standard cover. The deluxe one is definitely much better. I can't stand that same pose/airbrush/photoshop TEOM esque cover. It's okay though. I think the Billboard cover would have been a much better choice. Also, it seems that was shot around the time #Beautiful was released/GMA time. Now, what happened to the two covers that were going to be on the album? I have mixed feelings towards the track listing as well. I don't think TME or TAOLG should be on the album, nor do I get why the hell BGK or IAW fro 2010 remixes are on there? It just seems like a lazy effort. And from the looks of her 4/30 pics, it doesn't look like she's getting back to her AI body. I really hope this amazes us and she really goes for the jugular. I'm really hoping her Today performance is better and has more/better song selections. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 7:00)

Track listing (43,093) by Paul from Usa So I'd love to dig up the fake track listings all you phone people who claim to have had it just to see if any of these songs compare. If you noticed. No Beyoncé. Also I prefer the body shot rather than the face up. I'm so excited. (Thursday 1 May 2014; 6:36)
