Wake collaboration (38,895) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom Mariah has collaborated with Wale on a new track. He's exactly the kind of rapper Mariah should be working with if she insists on collaborating with rappers. I do hope Mariah is careful with the creative direction of tracks like this. It seems the public and a lot of Mariah fans don't want more hip hop collaborations from Mariah. However, if it turns out like Breakdown, or The Roof remix, then I won't be mad at all lol. Lotus Flower Bomb was a jam and a half. (Sunday 4 August 2013; 20:59)

Collaborations (38,894) by George Golden from UK O no please, no more collaborations. Why o my Lord, what is going on with Mariah? She is ruining her legacy with all this hip hop collaborations, it's getting really tired and old. Where are the songs, ballads and uptempos that are free of rap? She is starting to loose me as a fan and I can say I used to live and breath Mariah. Someone is really hurting this woman, making her believe all is well with the path she is taking. Mariah has lost her way. Only God can help us now. Put out a solid pop album and it will sell. She has the voice to die for, why is she bent on collaborating with every rapper there is? We get it, you are part black, please leave this hip hip nonsense that has taken over your creativity. (Sunday 4 August 2013; 17:05)

Thanks / Special K (38,893) by Stacey from USA Thanks everyone. The hubs and I are happy to add this final piece to our family. K, I'd be done too if my kids were a year apart. Over Christmas I thought about being done, but couldn't shake that feeling there was one more. Of course I get pregnant first time out of the gate so I think that's more of a reason it was meant to be. MC better get it together so I have some music to listen to while feeding the baby, lol.

New collaboration (38,892) by clueey23 from USA "Mariah x Wale x JD = coming soon." I'm excited. Wale has one of the best albums out this summer, along with J.Cole. Lets hope that JD has come up with something that doesn't remind us of anything from "Mimi" or 'E=MC2". I'm just saying that mid tempo and those chords from "WBT" are classic but tired.

Awaiting for the new album (38,891) by Anonymous from I'm fine with awaiting as long as we get another masterpiece like Daydream, Butterfly, and The Emancipation of Mimi. (Saturday 3 August 2013; 23:59)

Angels advocate (38,890) by Austin from USA I'm still pissed at Def Jam for canceling the Nigel's Advocate album. I know a few of those songs are online, and the dance remix album was great, but I'm dying to hear the Mary J Blige remix of It's A Wrap. Mimi has too much star power to be so controlled by a label. Memoirs was a perfect RnB album. Although I agree that there wasn't a great single on the album, it should've been promoted properly. (Saturday 3 August 2013; 23:05)

AI (38,889) by jaker20 from US I agree with you all. It just irks me Idol won't stop at it. As Licia said, they're obviously trying to attract controversy by hiring JLo again. So silly. She's not even a singer and have no place to judge. I hope the ratings bomb. (Saturday 3 August 2013; 20:24)

Licia (38,888) by Anonymous from I haven't heard that song. Thanks for sharing. (Saturday 3 August 2013; 15:48)

Idol (38,887) by Stacey from USA Idol for MC is so yesterday. Next? Finish the dang album, Mariah. Hehe. (Saturday 3 August 2013; 5:46)

Brandon (38,886) by Licia from USA Never Forget You is the only song from Music Box that I can play nonstop. I'm still hoping to get a real duet between Babyface and Mariah. You mentioning Two Ocassions reminds of seeing LA Reid with the jheri curl on the video. Lol. It also reminds me that I'm old. Lol. Have you ever heard Sweet November by The Deele? Babyface also wrote that one. It's a great song. (Saturday 3 August 2013; 3:20)

Re: Deedre aka MiTodoChop (38,885) by Special K from USA You get two head rolls and a finger snap. You're absolutely right. Ain't no slap in the face to be had up in this piece. (Saturday 3 August 2013; 2:27)

Babyface (38,884) by Anonymous from Never Forget You, Melt Away, and Everytime I Close My Eyes are my favorite songs written by Babyface. I also adore the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack. "Two Occasions", a song written by Babyface and Babyface himself, were later referenced by Mariah in We Belong Together. (Friday 2 August 2013; 23:24)

Idol, who cares? (38,883) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I don't think there is any slap in the face to be had. Mariah is done with Idol, period. And truthfully, I think doing the show as a judge not as a mentor was something MC was talked into by others and she agreed because the idea of nurturing and encouraging new talent was what motivated her. It takes a strong person to be unwavering in who they are, and not to give in to the demands of the ratings production machine. I knew when JLo performed at the finale, she would be the obvious choice for the following season. Nothing more, nothing less. Good luck, Idol. I'm moving on, too. (Friday 2 August 2013; 17:14)

Stacey / AI / Waiting to Exhale (38,882) by Licia from USA Congrats Stacey on the new baby. As for AI, if Mariah didn't get along with the producers, I take that as her not wanting to change who she is for the sake of money and ratings. Seems like they wanted crazy, self absorbed, diva Mariah and they got a professional who was trying not make it about herself. So if J. Lo is willing to do what the producers want then let her have it. It's not like Mariah needs it or even cares. Seems to me like they only brought J. Lo back to add more fuel to the Mariah being replaced by J. Lo stuff hoping it will make people interested in AI again. Just like the fight with Nicki. Melt Away would have been awesome on the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack. (Friday 2 August 2013; 16:24)

Stacey (38,881) by enwar00 from usa Congrats. (Friday 2 August 2013; 15:23)

Randy / Special K (38,880) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom I don't know how plausible Melt Away being created for the Waiting To Exhale soundtrack was, with everyone knowing how domineering Tommy was, especially with label politics. However, Babyface may have thought about it and wanted it in his own mind. On a side note, Melt Away is an absolute jam. I love that song. (Friday 2 August 2013; 10:35)

Stacey (38,879) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom Congratulations. Bambino no.3 - woo hoo lol. (Friday 2 August 2013; 10:33)

Jaker20 (38,878) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom J.Lo going onto AI isn't even news for me. It's like "so whatever" at this point. Mariah is done with AI, it's over, so let the ever irrelevant J.Lo do whatever she needs to do to get a cheap dance hit. Meanwhile, Mariah is hopefully cooking up a classic album, something J.Lo has never and could never achieve. (Friday 2 August 2013; 10:32)

Re: jaker20 (38,877) by Badr from USA J. Lopez back in American Idol does not prove MC didn't get along with the producers, it means Mariah has better things do to. (Friday 2 August 2013; 10:11)

JLo back on Idol (38,876) by jaker20 from US Wow, I can't think of a bigger slap in the face than this. It looks like this MC/JLo saga won't end soon. This proves MC didn't really get along with the Idol producers in spite of what both parties claim. (Friday 2 August 2013; 9:24)

Stacey / Deedre aka MiTodoChop (38,875) by Special K from USA Stacey, congrats. I have two boys ages 3 and 2. Don't think I wanna another one, lol. Yes Deedre, kids sure do have a certain way of making a moment classic, lol. I'm pretty sure Mariah and Nick have had plenty of classic moments with their kids. (Friday 2 August 2013; 0:53)

Randy (38,874) by Special K from USA Hmmm, you know your theory is plausible. Melt Away would have been perfect for the Waiting To Exhale soundtrack. They could have played that song during the scenes between Angela Basset and Wesley Snipes characters. I wouldn't doubt if Babybface had the idea in mind, but I think he kept it to himself. At that time, the supposed Diva fued was at its height between Mariah and Whitney. They darn near put every R&B female singer on the dang soundtrack except Mariah, which I feel was purposely done. (Friday 2 August 2013; 0:41)

Gilbert/Special K/ Stacey (38,873) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Gilbert, I'm holding positive thoughts for your job. Special K, kids just have a way of making a moment classic, don't they? LMAO that's priceless. Stacey, congratulations on the new baby. I wish you and your family the best. Blessings. (Thursday 1 August 2013; 20:21)

Special K / Stephen (38,872) by Stacey from USA Girl, you crack me up. Welcome to parenthood. I am sure MC and Nick have had those moments too. Kids, you gots to love them. Did I tell you I'm expecting my 3rd child? A boy and yes, we are done after this one, lol. You are totally right, Stephen. Daydream just gets it right on all fronts. The music is mature, but fun at the same time. It's not all cheese (ala I'm That Chick (you like)). Although I love that song too, hehe. (Thursday 1 August 2013; 2:09)

Special K / Melt Away (38,871) by Randy from USA I have a theory here, it is a stretch. You have to go with me on this one. You know that Babyface co-wrote and co-produced this song. Daydream came out October 3. The Waiting To Exhale Original Soundtrack album came out November 14. He wrote and produced the whole soundtrack. I believe he may have wanted Melt Away for that soundtrack and film. Clive and Tommy weren't having it. Clive probably didn't want MC's songwriting ability to upstage Whitney, especially since the first single was hers and the buzz was centered around her. She was an executive producer in addition. Tommy wasn't allowing MC to sing on any other label, especially if it could cut into her album sales. What do you think? (Thursday 1 August 2013; 1:23)
