About Jono from USA: Celebrating the greatest artist to ever exist.

#Beautiful remix feat Jeezy (38,470) by Jono from USA There we go Mariah. I'm glad she finally delivered with one of the remixes. I always love when she re-sings her vocals. Even though I still adore the original, this track is actually worthy enough to be deemed a remix. And it sounds like a completely different production level than the other three that were released.

#Ugly (38,419) by Jono from USA Best word to describe the remix of #Beautiful. That being said, I hope the dance remix is good like Triumphant's dance version. I just think that this remix was pointless and did absolutely nothing for the song - if anything it probably ruined the quality of this track. I understand Mariah loves her hip hop, but she needs to stop trying to make it happen. (Thursday 27 June 2013; 17:36)

The Art of Letting Go (38,315) by Jono from USA I'm curious as to what your guys' thoughts are on the supposed new title for the album. I think it's a little wordy, but obviously the album title isn't going to affect me buying the album. I do hope though that she goes for a real stunner with the cover. IMO, her album covers after The Emancipation Of Mimi were kind of weak and amateur. TEOM had that "wow" factor that encompassed her effortless beauty while integrating the theme. If we're going off of this supposed title, I'd like to see an almost de-glammed shot of her. I'm not talking Precious style, but maybe something that looks timeless and doesn't have her overly stylized. Something very simple and to the point. Regardless, I'm so incredibly excited for this album based off of #Beautiful and what Mariah is bringing to the table. It seems as if she's finally let go trying to emulate TEOM sound. That was a different era, and as she has said many times now, it's the beginning of a new one. (Thursday 20 June 2013; 18:07)

Mariah's best ballad (38,116) by Jono from USA Oh boy, this is a tough one since she is known for her ballads. I would have to say "Vanishing" has got to be one of the best. It's vocally immaculate, and I love hearing the minimalist production, because it showcases Mariah's voice. It's an absolute masterpiece, and arguably the most underrated song of her entire catalog.

AI performance (37,901) by Jono from USA The performance wasn't lipped, it was just sloppily dubbed. One of the backup singers confirmed this on YouTube, she said Mariah did it live on Wednesday night when they recorded it. Sure, maybe a note or two may have been lipped, but we've all come to expect that. Voices can only last so long, and we should be thankful that Mariah still has hers after 20+ years of constant singing. It's unfortunate that people with zero musical talents will jump at any moment to say someone lip synched. Do your research, and gain some credibility, before you go around accusing a legend for entirely lipping a performance. (Friday 17 May 2013; 22:10)
