Mariah delivered (44,100) by Roman from USA It's amazing how one song will be stuck in my head one day and then just like that a song I over looked becomes my new favorite. Whether you like one song or not Mariah is a musical genius. For every person saying they like one song and not the other there is another person who loves the song you don't. Mariah has such a diverse group of fans that it would be nearly impossible to accommodate all of us, yet she did it. I'm so proud of her and in aww of how Mariah has grown as an artist and yet has always kept herself in the music. (Monday 26 May 2014; 5:36)

TJ / Triumphant / E=MC2 (44,099) by Elena from The Netherlands I dis not like Triumphant at first, especially for it being a poor kick-off single for the album, as it was back then. Later on, after hearing it in great quality on my iPod I started to appreciate it more and now I like it because of that strong hook. I'm surprised that a lot of people didn't like E=MC2; that is my favorite album of the Mimi era. It sounded like she had so much fun making the records and aside from the ballads (WBT style) it's very diverse. Cruise Control should have been a single, love Migrate, IBLYLT, That Chick, IWYW, TFN, OOC. I enjoy listening to that album. (Monday 26 May 2014; 0:06)

Will from Australia (44,098) by Bill from the UK Glad to have another MILG fan on here. I burned that one track to a disc so I could blast it on repeat whilst driving. I've never known a Mariah song to hit me in the way this one did. It works for me on so many levels. The old school sample, the vocal arrangements, how if you stripped out the music the melody sounds like it's from the 50s/60s. The rapid fire singing, Stevie's harmonica, the O Jay's sample, it is pure perfection. The greatest composition she has ever done. (Sunday 25 May 2014; 23:48)

Oh baby you know (44,096) by Elena from The Netherlands I adore Dedicated, that line is stuck in my head. Possible singles: Thirsty, YDKWTD, Dedicated. Although Faded is my favorite track, I don't know if it would do good as a single. I hope she will do some excellent videos for this album, it really deserves some good visuals going along with these amazing songs. (Sunday 25 May 2014; 22:59)

MIAMTEC - second opinion (44,095) by Elena from The Netherlands After multiple listens in different moods I started to feel attached to some songs. From the first listen it was Faded that really got me and it's still my favorite track, the production and her flowing over this track is amazing. When she ad-libs "Always somewhere but you're not there for me" towards the end, I can't help but wanting to belt that out with her. Basically the first 5 tracks are all genius then MILG and YME makes it go downhill for me, then lifted up by YDKWTD and what comes after that is pretty much just good enough. Only Camouflage stands out. A lot of people are really enjoying Meteorite, but somehow I don't see what the fuss is about that song. I get it's catchy, radiofriendly and very fresh sounding overall, but I can't help thinking that it could be a track that JLo would do or something. I do believe it could have an amazing dance remix if she would add new vocals and turn it up a bit more. In fact, I believe she could do some A+ remixes for a lot of the songs if they are re-sung. I hope she will. Heavenly is overproduced, only the outro of the song gives me the feeling of that gospel spirit she wants to bring. Supernatural would sound great with just guitar and MC and Dembabies singing over it. There is too much going on in that song. It's really great if stripped down a bit. Money is the album's lowest point. I really don't like it. All in all I enjoy listening to this as there are some true gems to be treasured for a long time. (Sunday 25 May 2014; 22:53)

New EPs on iTunes and Spotify (UK) (44,094) by Bill from the UK I'm not sure how long these have been up, so sorry if it is old news. iTunes and Spotify have some new (old) Mariah EPs available. The Rainbow singles (Heartbreaker, CTTA, and TGIFY) as well as My All and three remix EPs for I Still Believe. One of which features the wondrous Pure Imagination Remix, of whose non inclusion on The Remixes album still has me scratching my head. (Sunday 25 May 2014; 22:30)

Me. I Am Mariah (44,093) by Holly from UK Well, well, well, Queen Mariah delivers another knock out album. This is far better than MOAIA, I feel the whole album is very diverse and I'm simply loving the fact that it's very old school. I can hear vintage Mariah in so many of the songs. After a few listens stand out tracks for me are Cry, Faded, Dedicated, Thirsty, You Don't Know What To Do, Camouflage and One More Try. The surprise of the album for me though is Meterorite. To me it sounds like a remix. It reminds me very much of the Fantasy club mixes. It's good though and I think it's a grower. The only thing I don't like is The Art Of Letting Go being a bonus track. It's one of Mariah's best ever songs IMO. Also, the deluxe is a bit of a let down, recycling songs from MOAIA, especially when Mariah apparently wrote tons of songs for the album and could have given the fans a proper bonus like the deluxe release of TEOM.

Never mind (44,092) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I finally found a way to hear it. (Sunday 25 May 2014; 20:17)

Faded / YDWTD / Meteorite or Make it Look Good should be singles (44,090) by IheartMC from USA If Mariah were to release any of the aforementioned singles she would have a big impact in Mariah fashion. Considering she does not re-invent her look that often, those singles alone show how she can re-invent her musically and try different things as an artist. I think of any of these singles aren't released her team should be re-evaluted because the singles she has released besides thus far aside from from #Beautiful which was golden pop/r&b music showed no growth. She is holding her herself back from the coveted #1 spot she so rightfully deserves judging by the body of work within this new album Me. I Am Mariah. What I do love about most about this album is that our girl M has given us all the fans have been asking for along with trying some new things. Whether or not this album is a hit, I think it's already a huge hit in material and quality. We love you Mimi. Long live the new era. (Sunday 25 May 2014; 19:14)

iTunes Radio (44,088) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I'm in Canada (where iTunes radio isn't available) and thus why I haven't been able to get "First Play" to work. Does anyone know of an alternative so I can listen? (Sunday 25 May 2014; 18:54)

Me. I am... the best Mariah album in the last 10 years (44,086) by Anonymous from Yep, I think that this album is really good, I love almost all the songs. There are songs that make me feel in love and some that make me dance and have a good time. Soft sounds (Cry, You're mine), soft voice, crazy beats (like Thirsty), high and powerful notes (Like Heaven). It's a really good mix of sounds. I like the samples that she's using in this album. I really like the passion in her voice in One More Try. But like everything, nothing's perfect the bad or not too good things are that I feel too much computer re touches to her voice in some songs and of course I still don't like the album title. My favs: Dedicated (what a musical journey), Beautiful (oh how it thrill me), Make it look good (so relaxing), You don't know what to do (next single please), Meteorite (not the typical Mariah song and I love it), Money (I'm in love with the hook, very catchy). (Sunday 25 May 2014; 16:03)

Mystery guest? (44,084) by Alexys from USA I have yet to hear the album as I would like to wait for the release on Tuesday. But after reading the reviews, who is the "special guest" that she was keeping under wraps? Seems to me we knew who everyone would be, or was suspected to be, on the album. Did I miss something? (Sunday 25 May 2014; 14:33)

NBC (44,083) by Dan from US NBC does not list the Mariah special at all this week. Hmm so only promo is WMA on Wednesday? That's odd. (Sunday 25 May 2014; 13:28)

Make It Look Good (44,082) by Will from Australia Seriously can't get enough of Make It Look Good after a few days of listening to the album. Just a spectacular song. (Sunday 25 May 2014; 11:23)

One More Try (44,081) by Licia from USA I might be the only person who loves the goodbyes that she did. Lol. (Sunday 25 May 2014; 9:54)

Raden Ratna (44,080) by TJ from Norway All the lambs (fans) over the world did not love Triumphant. I for sure did not. Just saying. (Sunday 25 May 2014; 8:36)

Oh exactly that Nikki (44,079) by Marcel from Montréal, Canada I read someone wrote he/she loves and even understands why Mariah sang One More Time that high and obviously everyone of us are entitled to our opinion and taste but to me all those "ad-libs" and the goodbyes during the bridge and that high tone in her voice trashed the song in a way. I mean it's a beautiful song on its own and to me the best lyrically in the album but she took away all the seriousness and deep meaning of the song and sounds almost like a joke. I don't know maybe it is that George has some of the best songs in my opinion and such an incredible voice that I would've loved Mariah to deliver a more soulfull, serious rendition in a lower key belting and running but in a lower register without that many distractions through the song. Me as well am kind of liking Faded more and more. Maybe that's why they seem to want this as the next single, who knows. Waiting for Monday and WMAs. (Sunday 25 May 2014; 7:09)

Triumphant (Get Em) In Me I Am Mariah catalogue (44,078) by Raden Ratna Kesuma Joe-Yo from Singapore When Mariah Carey released Triumphant back in 2012 I really loved it, in fact all lambs around the world loved it and more excited. And it went to #1 on iTunes in several countries (but not in US). But well the song fail to chart on BB Hot 100 because alot of critics saying that Mariah sounded more featuring than her guest rapper and people tend to forget that she got a new single. Blah blah blah. But surprisingly when she released the hot remix it went to #1 in BB Hot Dance Chart I can say it's pretty fair. To me Triumphant is a very good Urban song and it got that vibe on it so I decided to include Triumphant (Get Em) Feat. Rick Ross & Meek Mill in Mariah's latest album Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse in my personal catalogue so that this inspiring song won't be abandon out of nowhere. it deserved to be in the latest album. (Just saying.) (Sunday 25 May 2014; 5:30)

Something unexpected (44,077) by Michele from USA I really am enjoying her new album and haven't felt this way since The Emancipation of Mimi. I love the dream-like/otherworldly atmosphere to the album, except for songs like "Thirsty", which doesn't really seem to go with the flow and shouldn't be on the album. What I would love for Mariah to do is something completely unexpected that would stun even her harshest critics. I remember when Charmbracelet came out (which is my favorite album of hers, yes, I guess I am the minority here), everyone was completely stunned that Mariah redid a Def Leppard song. I think she should go out on a limb here and do something totally unheard of for a "diva" - and cover some 90s alternative band hit, like Alice in Chains' "Would?" or Soundgarden's "Black Holed Sun". I don't think the critics would even know what to say and they'd be left looking like this. Lol. (Sunday 25 May 2014; 5:14)

Suggested Singles (44,076) by Jhonny from Guyana My top picks for released singles that would be potential hits: 1. You don't know what to do 2. Meteorite 3. Thirsty 4. Make it look good 5. One more try (Sunday 25 May 2014; 4:13)

Money ($ * / ...) (44,074) by Titanicology from Does anybody know what the ($ * / ...)? My theory is this, $ = Money, * = This, / = That, ... = The other. What do you think? MC is so clever. (Sunday 25 May 2014; 2:26)

Nikki's favorites (44,073) by Nicole from US My favorites are Meteorite, Cry, YDKWTD, Camouflage, Heavenly. Faded is growing on me. I am wondering on what could have been if Mariah sang One More Try in acapella. Could have been more emotional. I don't like the "Goodbye" 8 times or more during the bridge. I think it kinda took away the seriousness of the song. That's just me lambily. (Saturday 24 May 2014; 21:47)
