Do you believe that Young Jeezy crap? (39,498) by Lee from USA Does she have the time to cheat with the kids, new album, etc? I swear they make up things to drag her name through the mud. But then again, J Lo is pretty much done with her man anyways, so the bloggers don't want to see Mimi happy if their darling isn't. Hell, the last time we saw her with Jeezy was months ago. Nick was not jealous when he responded to it, he probably laughed it off. (Thursday 17 October 2013; 16:08)

New album (39,497) by David from Australia I hope there are some powerful ballads on this album that may go down as classics for MC fans, something which Memoirs lacked for me. The songs are good, but there's not a single song I think is a classic on that album. I liked the fun stuff as well, but there was too much of it on Memoirs. I'd like a good mix of fun and serious songs like Charmbracelet or Emancipation. I also hope she keeps that ghetto talk she's been using constantly throughout the last two albums to a minimum and uses correct wording and sentence structure in lyrics. I know I'll love the album either way and so far everything sounds promising. I'm excited to hear the new single. (Thursday 17 October 2013; 12:39)

These stories / title single (39,496) by Will from England I'd love to know how where they get these stories from. They're getting more and more ridiculous. Am I right in saying that she's only ever released three title singles from albums of the same name? Emotions, Butterfly and TAOLG (if the album title hasn't changed since it was leaked). On the same subject, this single sounds like her most complicated on yet. To me, it's on the same level of TEOM. (Thursday 17 October 2013; 11:44)

New album (39,495) by OGmattyICE from US I remember she had originally talked about including one of the American Idol contestants on her album or something of that nature. Is that plan still in effect? Does anyone know? I know she switched up her plan after the injury so at this point I'm just excited for whatever is coming. Mariah is a true professional at what she does, so I will never doubt her. (Thursday 17 October 2013; 6:56)

The art of letting go (39,494) by Gerald from USA by the way of NYC This is the first time in forever in a day that MC has released the album title track, so I believe she is connected to this album in a good way that she has not been in a very long time. I will not speculate on the song. I will wait until I hear the finished product, but I hope that there is a little bit of something for everyone to relate to including non fans, because in order for this era to pick up and be a success, everything must be in proper working order, from promotion, single choices, videos, and the most importantly her live performances have to be on point. But I have to admit I was not so sure about Jermaine Dupri being her manager, but so far he has proven his worth. But I believe JD consulted his father Michael who is a successful manager in the business. (Wednesday 16 October 2013; 13:58)

Forget a single, I'm ready for the album (39,493) by Marissa from USA I'm so ready for this album, I don't even know what to do! I need MC to bring it. I'm not one of those fans that thinks she is incapable of making mistakes. Memoirs just didn't do it for me. I hope that she does a lot of ballads with plenty of belting. I won't be able to take another album that gives mostly breathy vocals. They're beautiful but sometimes there are so many that it sounds like she is being vocally lazy. I'm looking for a Mine Again feel. A single is cute, but will an album follow soon after? She got us excited with #723 so you would think that she would be ready to release the album and not just a single. I'm just going to say it. I love MC, but she has really disappointed me this year. From the American Idol stint to the good, yet forgettable #Beautiful, I just hope she turns this mess around, and quick. (Wednesday 16 October 2013; 5:23)

Rashidi Rahim (39,492) by Stacey from USA I completely agree. I am super excited to have new music from two of my favorite singers. I love MC and Celine equally. Both fill different musical tastes for me. It will be nice to have new music to rock my new guy too. (Tuesday 15 October 2013; 23:27)

The Art Of Letting Go / Ryan (39,490) by Alex from England I 100% agree with you on the meaning of the title. I still hope it'll be the album title also, it sounds poetic and beautiful to me and if the meaning she has for it is the same as we have understood, perfect. It does sound like something profound like Butterfly did, but I will not overthink it until I hear the song (and hopefulle one day soon, the album lol), I don't want to be disappointed, I just want to hear the song and listen to Mariah's heart without having preconceptions. "Baby I can hardly wait." (Tuesday 15 October 2013; 17:41)

The Art Of Waiting (39,489) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I can't wait for 11th of November. All lambs must be united and support this song world wide. Let's make this her 19th number one single. (Tuesday 15 October 2013; 17:23)

The Art Of Letting Go (39,488) by Ryan from the Philippines To me, TAOLG is a very good single and album title. Perhaps, some people will initially think it's "cheesy" or worst, "ew" as I read one comment on her Vevo lol. But I think it's like Butterfly, where she used metaphor. You only realize how genius she is once you hear that 1997 ballad to the end. TAOLG to me is like "Art" for music and "Letting Go" for standing up and moving on from the troubles she had in the last 3 years and just being happy and free. (Tuesday 15 October 2013; 13:56)

Rashidi Rahim Rick / new single / that interview (39,487) by Will from England I don't think the album will be out for a while lol. It's just the single that will be released. I must say, I know it was rumoured that there would be a song called "The Art Of Letting Go", and I personally didn't believe it at the time, because to me, I couldn't see how it would fit lyrically. But since it's been confirmed, I'm more excited to see how it goes. This is going to be the longest less-than-a-month ever! As for that interview, I had never heard of the two hosts before so I'm not at all familiar with their show. Is that's their style of interviewing, then ok. (Tuesday 15 October 2013; 12:40)

Mariah Carey and Celine Dion (39,486) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Mariah Carey: The Art of Letting Go Celine Dion: Loved Me Back To Life Two of the best vocalists in the world are releasing their new albums at the same time. It's about time these senior divas show a thing or two to the new generation of singers on how it was done back in the day. (Tuesday 15 October 2013; 10:29)

New song (39,485) by Stacey from USA I am super excited. I'll have a new MC song to rock my new baby to sleep. The new guy will arrive a few days after the song is released. (Tuesday 15 October 2013; 5:31)

Hello (39,484) by clueey23 from USA I know this better be the best song I've heard from Mariah or any other artists in a long time, for her to announce the name of the single and then make us wait a month. Ijs. In other news, I love JD being MCs manager. And already even with the announcement and his interaction with the people promoting her is already great. Not that MC needs a consigner, it's nice to have somebody like JD to be the one to do it. Moving on, I enjoyed the Walter A. interview. It was fantastic. Very informative and very complimentary and honest. I hope they work together soon. I believe #Beautiful should be included on the album as the album sales would only push up the single sales for that song. (Tuesday 15 October 2013; 5:23)

Walter Afanasieff on the Pauly and Monks Show (39,483) by TheArtofLettingGo from USA Pauly and Monks are the best radio/tv hosts out there right now. They are fun and candid and always have a great time with their guests. Walter gave us more information than I expected and it was nice to hear him and the hosts talk so positively about her. As far as the "bad" things Pauly said about Mariah... lambily, we all have those feelings sometimes, let's be honest. Who cares? I think his point was that he wanted them to work together again. He would tell Mariah those things to her face. That's their show. I agree with the poster who said this show was about Walter, not Mariah and that nothing ever seems good enough. I, for one, am happy to get new info and look forward to seeing him on the show again. Here's the link for anyone who missed it. (Tuesday 15 October 2013; 0:54)

Pauly and Monks interview with Walter A (39,482) by GeorgeUK from United Kingdom I'm not sure some of us heard the same broadcast. This was incredibly insightful. It always fascinates me how many people thrive on bringing others down then pass along new information. This was a conversation with and about Walter, not Mariah Carey. The hosts, who are famous in their own right, have an audience that expects them to have fun with the guests and they are big here in the UK. We received more information than we have before, and many of you posted the info then criticized the hosts. It seemed as thought they made him feel at ease. He seemed nervous in the beginning. Will anything ever be good enough, lambs? After all, we wouldn't have had this information otherwise, as Walter rarely does interviews, and as they mentioned on social media, he will be back! (Monday 14 October 2013; 23:43)

TAOLG 11/11 (39,481) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I'm so stoked by the announcement. New Mariah music! It would be nice if she would put that dance remix for #Beautiful we heard in July as a track on one of the singles for the new album. I realize the video is likely a wash, but it would be lovely to hear the full audio. The snippet sounded really good. (Monday 14 October 2013; 18:52)

My All (39,480) by Trish from USA I thought it was interesting that Walter A thought My All and Whenever You Call we're unfinished. Whenever You Call was my wedding song (in 2009) and has always been in my top 5 favorite Mariah songs (who can pick just one?), but I never really got My All, I always thought it was missing something. I love the remixes though! So excited to hear The Art of Letting Go. 11/11. (Monday 14 October 2013; 18:00)

Jippi (39,479) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Jippi. (Monday 14 October 2013; 17:52)

Letting Go (39,478) by Carol from Spain No one is letting this one go and everyone will attend the facebook listening party for this song. That's an order! November 11, 2013. (Monday 14 October 2013; 17:29)

Perfect birthday present (39,477) by Licia from USA The new single will be a perfect belated birthday present for me. I can't wait to hear what she has in store. Fingers crossed that the promotion is on point and nothing is rushed. I'll still jam the Beautiful remix until 11/11. (Monday 14 October 2013; 17:24)

The Art Of Letting Go (39,476) by Will from England I'm so excited for this! (Monday 14 October 2013; 17:24)

New single in November (39,475) by Ryan from the Philippines Geez, I don't know what to say. I am just so excited. I can't wait to hear the ballad "The Art Of Letting Go" on 11.11.13. (Monday 14 October 2013; 17:11)

Re: hosts / Lead The Way (Bill) (39,474) by Billy from Greece I must agree that they interrupted Walter several times, but this is part of the radio hosting process, "guiding" the interview or something. I'm sure they could be smoother. Not to mention that Pauly (the one with the glasses) made some quite bitchy comments about present-day Mariah. Still, I did not find them to be a "parody of gay people" as Bill from the UK suggested. They were just a real-life couple making inside jokes and references to Mariah's music, which is obviously an influence on the both of them. On another note, "Lead The Way" was indeed written during the "Butterfly" sessions but it was never meant for the "Butterfly" album. Mariah wrote it with the movie in mind ("All That Glitters" at that point), which she started developing around the same time. There is a hard-to-find European interview from late 1997 (after the release of "Butterfly") where Mariah talks about a song she wrote for the movie. (Monday 14 October 2013; 9:38)

Pauly Monks (39,473) by Chicago Lamb from USA I agree with a previous poster that had Walter "finished" what he thought was incomplete, the product would have ended up more "schmaltzy". I like those ballads just how Mariah finished them. They work better sparse. I think that's what allows Mariah's emotional to performance shine through. (Monday 14 October 2013; 1:34)
