The Art of Letting Go - wow (39,710) by Bill from the UK Wow. I loved the song, this is a wonderful record. I noted down the lyrics, can anybody help me with the lyric I didn't get? I'm making a statement Of my own opinion Just a brief little reminder To help myself remember I no longer live In your dominion No You're just? Nothing more than a liability Got a bundle of your possessions Outside the kitchen window right now Letting go Letting go ain't easy It's exceedingly hurtful Somebody you used to know is flinging your world around And they watch as you're falling down Falling down Evidently your words were Merely lies Reverberating in my ears And the echo won't subside There's a deep deep loss of hope And the anger burns in me I hope you don't get no ideas about reuniting baby Cause that's the last thing I truly need Your audacity is too much to be believed So go to "Mimi" on your contacts, press delete Letting go aint easy It's just exceedingly hurtful Cause somebody you used to know Is flinging your world around And they watch as you're falling down Baby letting go Ain't easy Baby letting go It ain't easy Cause somebody you used to know Is flinging your world around And you know what? They watch as you're falling down It ain't easy baby (Monday 11 November 2013; 17:45)

Good job MC (39,708) by Licia from USA I love the song. It has a very old school sound. It was worth the wait. (Monday 11 November 2013; 17:17)

Love Mariah? (39,706) by Andrew crisostomo from Canada, niagara falls If you all love Mariah, then support her and buy her music. I know we all are so excited right now. Support good music. (Sunday 10 November 2013; 21:18)

B, the necklace (39,705) by Bill from the UK I remember hearing or reading somewhere that the heart necklace was worn as a good luck charm early on, and if it wasn't visible, it would be in a pocket or something. I think I read she had it turned into a ring or something. I can't wait for TAOLG tomorrow. (Sunday 10 November 2013; 19:13)

The time is upon us (39,704) by T from USA Here we are 10/11. The day before. MC is going to need all our help with this one folks. She needs this thing to spread viral. We can help her by changing our profile pics and cover photos on our Facebook and by updating our status tomorrow. Of course by purchasing the song too. But the main point is to get people who don't know it's out to know that there is a new song out. Let's make it happen lambs! Good luck. (Sunday 10 November 2013; 14:52)

Buble (39,703) by Will from England Very excited to see Mariah and Buble duet together in just a couple months. Should be fantastic. We're now under 48 hours away from the new single. (Sunday 10 November 2013; 9:42)

Michael Buble (39,702) by Elena from The Netherlands One of my secret wishes comes true. Michael Buble and MC singing together. Perfect promo for her and I think their voices match well. I hope they hit the studio one day for a duet, that would be so great. Better than MC working with Bieber. (Sunday 10 November 2013; 9:08)

Mariah Carey march madness poll (39,701) by 16 Tunes from U.S. I have a music website (16tunes.com) in which I run artists through a March Madness type of tourney with 16 of their songs. I let fans vote round by round until we arrive at their signature song. To gauge interest, I have fans first vote to see if we do a poll or not. Please go to 16tunes.com to vote for Mariah today, if you'd like to see such a tournament bracket. Thanks. (Sunday 10 November 2013; 8:06)

B, necklace (39,700) by Tory from Australia Oh cool thanks for that. I thought it had to be a significant gift for her to wear it on stage, like a goodluck charm or something. (Sunday 10 November 2013; 8:02)

Another M&M (39,699) by Ryan from the Philippines Got so excited to hear that MC will be performing on Michael Buble's holiday special. Is it going to be a duet or Mimi's going to perform solo? We all know that Buble made his own rendition of "All I Want For Christmas Is You", they may be singing together with that. Or would it be great if they'll sing "Christmas Time Is In The Air Again"? I think their voice match well with the song. I also hope Mariah performs Letting Go on Fallon on the 13th. (Sunday 10 November 2013; 4:42)

Andrew (39,698) by Stacey from USA Just a friendly reminder that it's not your place to decide who is a fan and who is not. I'm 36 and find it a bit odd to call myself a lamb, yet others feel differently and that's ok. I've followed her for 20 years, bought every album, even did a little trading and collecting for a time. So just chill and let fans do what they will. You know you'll buy the album and support her. Who cares what others do? Peace. (Sunday 10 November 2013; 3:35)

Necklace (39,697) by B from USA The necklace also had a ring on it. The ring was a gift from an ex-boyfriend. Maybe Ben. (Sunday 10 November 2013; 0:16)

Necklace (39,696) by B from USA The necklace also had a ring on it. It was a gift from Alison. I read that years ago. (Saturday 9 November 2013; 19:06)

Proud lamb (39,695) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia Well I'm a proud lamb, I'll take that title with honor. A lamb is just a dedicated fan, that has stuck with Mariah through thick and thin (literally and figuratively ). So if you're just a casual fan then boo. Lol. No that's fine, but nothing's wrong with being a lamb, it's just a term of endearment given to us by the king herself, nothing to be irritated by at all. (Saturday 9 November 2013; 13:42)

Lambs (39,694) by David from Australia You don't need to be a "lamb" to be a fan. That's just what Mariah calls her fans. Heaps of other artists have names as well. I don't call myself a lamb either, just a Mariah Carey fan, but there are other people who like being called lambs. That's their choice. Each to their own. You certainly don't need to be called a lamb if you don't want to. (Saturday 9 November 2013; 10:45)

Lambs (39,693) by Johnny from Ireland Guys, it annoys me to think that you need to be a lamb to be considered a fan. I'm not a lamb but certainly a fan. I cannot wait for Mariah to get back in business and I agree that we need to see her work the promotion circuit. Best of luck MC. (Saturday 9 November 2013; 5:03)

Mariah's heart necklace (39,692) by Tory from Australia Does anyone know the story behind it? If you notice up until she married Tommy (to my knowledge) she wore a heart necklace nearly everytime she performed and it kind of became a signature in a way, similar to Whitney's cross earring she wore on one ear during the early 90s as well. (Saturday 9 November 2013; 2:59)

Three more days (39,691) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I am beyond stoked to hear the new single. I hope iTunes gets it quickly. Lol. (Saturday 9 November 2013; 0:44)

Mariah and the art of letting go (39,690) by Andrew crisostomo from Canada, niagara falls This upcoming album has to sell in the millions. I know we are in this age of free mp3's and internet, but Mariah has millions of fans in this world. So if you all call yourselves lambs, You better buythe album. and support Mariah. If you don't, you're not a lamb. (Friday 8 November 2013; 23:01)

The Art Of Letting Go (39,689) by Markiesecarey from USA I'm just so happy to hear new music from Mariah. (Friday 8 November 2013; 20:19)

Jaker20, letting go (39,688) by RadChad from United States Mariah's creativity is not nor has ever been the issue whatsoever. Creativity is what always set her apart from Whitney and Celine. Her discography speaks for itself. Also Mariah has never really called herself "The Voice". Her peers (the record label) and fans projected that title on her. IMO she accepted the limitation of her voice (since Butterfly), but it was the fans and her label that wanted the mid to early 90s vocals. As we know when she gave us 90s esque vocals on TEOM the results were astounding. So at this point with everyone in her ear and seeing how singing in the 90s style voice spoke volumes, of course she's gonna go in that studio and give all she got. Otherwise she would whisper a whole album if everyone was okay with that. Oh and btw the whistle register has always been the most effortless part of her voice from my observation. As for the way she dresses, we just have to accept that MC will be that 80 year old woman in some red heels and a bikini. She's gonna be a hot momma as long as she can get away with it.

Mariah has let go, Jaker (39,687) by Matthew from USA Jaker20, I think Mariah has moved on. She has learned to let go. If she sings some of her older material at a concert, it's because the fans want to hear it, not because she is not willing to let go. She has stated multiple times that she is kind of tired of singing Hero and such, but how can she not? If she is giving a mini concert, there's definitely going to be a couple of throwbacks in there. So your argument that Mariah is the one that won't let go because she keeps singing her older hits makes no sense. By that logic, every artist who has been around for over 5 years is also living in the past. MC has shown time and again that she is willing to move on and experiment with her sound. If anything, it's some of the lambs that seem to want her to go back to her early 90's sound, which would put her squarely in Adult Contemporary genre today. And you can see how well that's working out for Celine. My point is that the lambs need to enjoy the classics, but also look forward to new and exciting things. The stuff she did with Walter was great, but let's not hammer her with questions about him. Here's to new sounds. The live orchestra and jazzy snippet we got was pip.

jaker20 (39,686) by B from USA Mariah hardly raises her voice above a whisper and yet you claim she still over sings? She saves the big note for a big dramatic finish. And she is still able to, so why shouldnt she while she still can? (Thursday 7 November 2013; 17:46)

I know I sound a bit sour (39,685) by jaker20 from US But I seriously can't wait what she will do with the new album. When someone says they're letting go, I rather see it as a beginning of something new rather than an ending. So I'm really anticipating MC's take on those words. Is she just extending the same old pattern she's been stuck with the past few years, or a beginning of a new career? Judging by the overtly sexy cover art I think she's still struggling with the meaning of her own words. But you know, if the song is hot it's hot. I won't argue. I'm definitely there to buy like every song and album she released. But I'm gonna call it like it is. (Thursday 7 November 2013; 16:58)
