New music (39,654) by Tony from Ireland Hi everybody. I think the best thing about Mariah's new single is that in fact we still can have new music from her. I do not care how she was sounding back on the 90's when she was 20, I do care that she is still blessing the world with her unique and powerful voice. And if we look to other artist in the bussiness, there is always a difference on their voices. I do love the idea of Mariah and Stevie singing together. And I do love everything about this new era - single cover, release platform. I guest that's why I'm a fan, because I never find anything wrong with her music, and I feel cherished I still have her music around, although I was a little bit shocked with Triumphant. Anyway, I love her. (Monday 4 November 2013; 14:35)

7 more days (39,653) by Mika from United States Hi, I'm new here, and a big Mariah Carey fan. I am so excited for this new album, and we only have a week left. What do you think of the Stevie duet? Do you think it will open with big numbers like Emancipation and E=MC2? (Monday 4 November 2013; 5:07)

Stevie Wonder, new album (39,652) by T from USA All I know is if Stevie and Mariah have a song together and it features real live instruments, it's going to be one of the best songs ever created. I really hope it's on her new album and I hope she doesn't rule out the idea of working with Walter Afanasieff one more time for this album. That way all the different generations of her fans are covered with this new music. (Something for everyone.) Remember on November 11 to tweet, facebook share, and get the word out about the listening party and the new single. Mariah needs us now. A successful song could finally launch the new album.

Stevie and Mariah? (39,651) by Will from England Whilst I am excited by the prospect of there being a duet between these two legends, let's bare in mind that nothing has been confirmed yet. Hell, we don't even know if the rumoured duet is going to make it onto the album, let alone whose album it may be on/for, since it has been reported that Stevie is planning to release two albums in 2014. But let's hope that I'm wrong as usual and that it is indeed true! JD seems to be doing everything right thus far. (Monday 4 November 2013; 1:46)

Let's aim for Song of the Decade (39,650) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Come on lambs, third time is a charmed. We can do it. (Monday 4 November 2013; 1:30)

Mariah: Most talked about on Facebook (39,649) by Carol from Spain Mariah is one of the top talked about artists on Facebook. Right now she has over 91,000 people talking about her, beating artists like Rhianna, Beyonce and Bieber. Mariah always causes interest, especially in a time where music is so degrading with the likes of Miley, Bieber and Rhianna. Bring on the good music. (Sunday 3 November 2013; 20:40)

Mariah and Stevie Wonder (39,648) by Carol from Spain Mariah and Stevie. (Let me breath.) The feelings going trough me, the toughts of how absolutly amazing this could be. Can you believe this? Honestly, this is the perfect duet partner for Mariah. A classic tune is coming, maybe another song of the decade (crossing my fingers). Yes, I can dream about it. And in 8 days we'll have a taste of what's to come. (Sunday 3 November 2013; 20:37)

TAOLG album (39,647) by Ryan from the Philippines Ok, so this is just a follow-up. After the shocking photo that Mariah tweeted today that showed Mr. Stevie Wonder in the studio, I came back to the album tracklisting that leaked around August. And as far as I can remember, I was having mixed emotions when I read it because that tracklist could be real or fake (you know, everyone can fabricate stories, etc. especially if it's coming from the internet). There was the song The Art Of Letting Go and people did not once buy the idea/concept, even with the album title. And there was the song I'll Still Be Around with Stevie and produced by Walter Afanassief and some people did not care yet now the duet is confirmed. And a whole lots of surprising and promising things like the R. Kelly duet, the Big Jim Wright produced tracks, etc. My only wish is the W. Afanasieff thing is true. Now, looking back to the TAOLG teaser, some people said it could be an intro and based on the tracklist, prior to TAOLG there is an interlude. I am speculating the music we heard on the teaser is the interlude called 'Lullaby of Birdland'. I'm a bit sceptical when it comes to some things that were not confirmed just like this tracklisting but right now, I just don't know, everthing is slowly turning into reality. Anyway, everything's going to be confirmed as final in due time. Sooner. (Sunday 3 November 2013; 17:45)

Mimi duets (39,646) by Chicago Lamb from USA I feel a duets compilation is in the works. Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, Usher, Brian McKnight, Trey Lorenz, Ne Yo, Westlife, Dru Hill, Damien Marley, not even mentioning the remix collabo's, guest rappers and live duet performances (Aretha, Patti). Have I left anyone out? (Sunday 3 November 2013; 16:41)

MC and Stevie (39,645) by Gerald from USA by the way of NYC At first take I could not believe my eyes. I thought, no this can not be happening. And when I read other comments on social media, it sunk in. This is really going down. I was so pleased to see that MC has finally gotten into the studio with someone she has respected and admired forever. I have to say that so far this MC and JD management situation is looking very positive and I can not wait to see what this partnership has in store for us. But for right now, I am intrigued to hear what MC and Stevie Wonder cooked up in the studio. Bring it on. (Sunday 3 November 2013; 14:24)

Brad (39,644) by Bill from the UK You make a great point Brad, as long as Mariah continues to make music (even three year agonising waits between records) then I will be happy. For me, I am not that interested in chart positions either. Of course some fans want to see her succeed, and there is nothing wrong with that, and even more so when the artist you support found success with nearly everything she released in her earlier years. But if techno music is what it takes to reach number 1, wouldn't we all rather Mariah stick to her style and sound rather than jumping on the bandwagon for the sake of a hit? She has 18 number ones and absolutely nothing to prove. (Sunday 3 November 2013; 10:28)

Memoirs (39,643) by MissunderstoodAngel from United states I agree with this article and I don't at the same time. Overall , I think the album was great for the fans, it was awful however for commercial purposes. It could have been a save if it was given the proper promotion, better commercial single release choices, and actual effort on Mariah Carey's behalf herself. Mariah's grown lazy with promotion in recent years. As for Obsessed being a poor choice for the lead singe, I have to completely disagree. Hello, it was the highest charting single. That itself says something. It could have very well been her 19th #1 but once again Mariah did very very little promotion. And aside form the AGT performance, the other few were very "sloppy". The rest of the single choices were awful. Yes! Standing O should have been released as a single. Mariah and her team should have know better than to release a chain of basic ballads during a time of uptempo frenzy. Standing O would've been perfect, it was up tempo yet very Mariah. BGK should have been another one. Inseperable or Ribbon should have been the next. Then she should of closed the album with a ballad, preferably HATEU or a reproduced Angels Cry. (Sunday 3 November 2013; 9:23)

Duets for TAOLG album (39,641) by Ryan from the Philippines I was excited to learn that R.Kelly is a part of the album as confirmed by Mariah herself like a year ago. But now, I can't be more excited to hear that yes, the great Stevie Wonder is in too. Dang! I can't wait to hear their song. I'm sure it will be a wonderful love song from the fact that both singers are ubergenius musically and as songwriters. TAOLG album sounds so promising, really. A must have. (Sunday 3 November 2013; 9:17)

Well said Alain! (39,639) by Brad Catoe from United States I agree. What great songwriting! I rather have albums like that than hit singles. She;s so successful, I don't even worry about charts and all that. Who cares as long as she's making music? (Saturday 2 November 2013; 20:45)

Singles from MOAIA (39,638) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Based on the article, I do believe that Standing O would be the perfect lead single. The song would made the public anxious and curious to know who's the identity of the male friend that broke Mariah's heart, and this will build anticipation for them to buy Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel to get to know other stories from Mariah. For the second single, I would pick 100% (unreleased track) because the song is so inspirational yet catchy chorus for the public to sing along. 100% could be Mariah's new version of Make It Happen. The third single, I would pick Angels Cry and the fourth single would be Up Out My Face. (Saturday 2 November 2013; 17:35)

MOAIA article (39,637) by Lainsky from Philippines I agree with almost everything the article did say about the album, specifically wrong lead track and follow up releases. Also, it reveals MC's personality like no one has seen before like it said and it is full of artistry and showcased her incredible talent as a songwriter and an artist. It will appeal commercially in my opinion only if IDJ and MC released "Standing O" or yes "HATEU" and then "Inseparable" and "More Than Just Friends" could have followed. I disagree though about the comment on "Candy Bling", because for me this is really a good song and single for release along with "Betcha Gon' Know" and "Angels Cry" then "IWTWLI" could have been released as the last track. And yes if you did not know this album, then you missed one of MC's great work. This is in the same quality, for me, with Glitter, which is unfairly murdered by the media.

Memoirs article (39,636) by Andrew crisostomo from Canada, niagara falls That article was very good and had some very true points. In the end it wasn't a very good move to "get back" at Eminem. It's a childish thing they are both doing. Especially with loud mouth nick cannon in it too. But w.e. IWTKWLI can never be a single in this era. But as a lamb, I love it. Mariah's management gotta choose a single that's not too commercial or too choir like. #Beautiful is a perfect example. I love that song. And I always praise Mariah for not jumping in on the techno faze. Thank you Mariah. (Saturday 2 November 2013; 8:09)

George (39,635) by Lee from USA If you think she is the best, then why are you complaining about her music and image? It makes no sense to say that she can't hit #1 yet she is the best. Personally, I don't see a problem with her image when other artists ,who are older (and younger) than she is, have done worse than she had conceived of doing. It is funny how nobody squawked too much about Lady Gaga performing nude in some gay club, but people complained about Mimi showing cleavage on Twitter. It seems that some of the British would endorse Gaga and Madonna's raunchy antics on stage, but they would be the first ones to tell Mimi to cover up. (Friday 1 November 2013; 20:44)

Memoirs article (39,634) by Bill from the UK The article on MOAIA was interesting, but Foreigner sang IWTKWLI, not Journey (that was Open Arms). I do agree that Obsessed was an appalling choice for a lead single, as it sticks out like a sore thumb on an otherwise mellow album. Betcha Gon' Know, HATEU, Ribbon and IWTKWLI were all great, but never really got their shot. A real shame. (Friday 1 November 2013; 20:00)

Ryan / album over (39,633) by Licia from USA Memoirs was not hip hop. She did try to move Memoirs in that direction with the remixes, but the original was far from hip hop. I still don't see this too sexy album cover everyone is talking about. Yes, it's photoshopped a lot, but too sexy? I've seen sexier from her. (Friday 1 November 2013; 14:03)

MOAIA (39,632) by Ryan from the Philippines I couldn't agree more with the article. Memoirs was a lackluster album, like Charmbracelet Part II (though I can tolerate listening to the latter without skipping a track). It was not that bad compared to any artists' album, but I think she went too dark/underground hip-hop with the album concept. Obsessed was not a good kick-off single plus the heavy, unecessary autotuning didn't help. Up Out My Face could have been better and followed by HATEU, Obsessed, Betcha Gon' Know (it could have had been made to a video using the concept of the song), Candy Blng and I Want To Know What Love Is. (Friday 1 November 2013; 13:40)

Venting (39,631) by George Golden from UK I hope this new single will be amazing. Number one? Maybe. Honestly, I really don't care if Mariah does not have another number because it seems so obvious to everyone that she is trying to get a number one record. She needs to understand that she has lost that magic she had when she first came out. Back then her music spoke for her and now it seems she is doing all the talking without the music. Her insistence on doing the same kind of music over and over again has become so tired. Rent a rapper, hip hop collabos is so 2002. I love Mariah, but she has really put herself down in the game. If she comes out with a great record, she puts people off with a lame and tacky video. Beautiful is the best rnb song released this year, but the video and lack of promotion just killed that one. Mariah needs to come out with a new image, sexy but classy, more serious and mature manner. The new song is not out yet, but we already have an" I am too sexy" promo pic. She needs an image overhaul. It's frustrating because she is the best. (Friday 1 November 2013; 12:27)

Instagram videos of the kids (39,630) by Licia from USA Nick is posting little videos of the kids. They are so cute in their little super hero costumes. (Friday 1 November 2013; 0:04)

Mariah or Mimi (39,629) by Yolanda from Catalonia Hi lambs. My English is poor, but I'll try. I have nostalgia sometimes because Mariah in her beginning was so perfect, she had magic in her music, in her smile, in her naturally, when she sang live, when she did playback (rare), when she did an interview. But now she has lost part of her charisma. It's true. We can accept her maturity, it's natural. I'm 36, I grew up with her music, I have to get old too. But the problem is that Mariah is more inmature now than in her 20s. Stop using rappers in her songs please. A few songs is alright, but now it is weary. Mariah has to be aware that she lost her fans. And also I think that Tommy was only the person who paid for the production and who had the power. The success of Mariah belongs to Mariah. Michael said, "Tommy is the devil." (Thursday 31 October 2013; 17:51)

Glitter, what if? (39,628) by Carol from Spain On a lighter note, what about if Mariah re-released Glitter? I must admit that it is one of my favourite records ever, it's on my top 3 from Mrs MC Cannon. It was a very underrated work. (Thursday 31 October 2013; 17:24)
