Extra (43,817) by Fady from Lebanon I can't wait to hear the entirety of this album. Every track that's been released or performed is exceptional. I love the retro feel to it all. And I guess we have a gospel number (No Ways Tired) to end this sonic trip with tears of happy. I love Mariah and I love this new sound. That's a person doing their best and an artist delivering beautiful work. (Monday 19 May 2014; 23:18)

Remove his voice (43,816) by G.G. from USA I hope that one of the lambs who is great with computers and soundboards removes Wale's voice from the beginning of You Don't Know What To Do. Maybe the guy who did the promo for Mariah's new CD will be able to do it. (Monday 19 May 2014; 23:16)

Wale (43,815) by Liz Archer from Sweden I absolute love her new song, but I got to be honest IMHO that rapper ruins her intro at the beginning. Clearing his trout and such, and talking over her. Why? I don't know why it annoys me so much, but it feels unprofessional. Wish I could remove it. (Monday 19 May 2014; 22:17)

The voice (43,814) by B from USA The voice we hear is her voice so I don't care if she lips part of a song. All singers do it. It's not that big of deal. Katy Perry was lipping at the Billboard Awards last night. Are there any post about her doing so? No there isn't. The reason is Mariah can sing. She's known as The Voice. Another reason is people love trying to tear her down. Sad but true. May 27th is only 8 days away. (Monday 19 May 2014; 20:05)

UK release is a go through Amazon.co.uk (43,813) by John john from UK The CD is finally getting some promo on amazon.co.uk. Wasn't really looking forward to it as I had been thinking it was gonna be delayed. Now finally realising it's just days away am very excited. I love the new track debut on the Today show. Not the intro but as the beat kicks in it's clearly the best song since Beautiful. Hopefully there's gonna be a tour. Not sure UK will get it, but will travel to USA for sure.

Changing subjects (43,812) by Lee from USA I think Mimi would be fine on her next album. But did anyone watch the Billboard Music Awards? I watched bits and pieces of it. How could an artist who struggled to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 for nearly two decades be named a Billboard Icon? (Monday 19 May 2014; 19:25)

The wait (43,811) by enwar00 from usa The wait for this album is finally getting to me. I'm on vacation and could really use the album now (caps) to go along with that. Sigh one more week. (Monday 19 May 2014; 19:11)

Thirsty (43,809) by andy from philippines Thirsty (audio) is officially on Vevo. (Monday 19 May 2014; 18:16)

You Don't Know What To Do radio release (43,808) by andy from philippines "You don't know what to do" just released on radio. Listen it here. (Monday 19 May 2014; 16:17)

That video (43,807) by Marcel from Montréal, Canada The video could be real but then that means someone off her team leaked the mic's audio out. I mean, it certainly fits to what happened but doesn't mean audienve heard - or unheard - that. There's been cases back then of other singers being fooled by their on people like Enrique Iglesias and his rythm divine late in the 90's. Sometimes engs get tired and that's when this happens. Obviously MC had belted live before and on early 90 did to excellence but nowadays she lips alot and to ABMB she's been doing that since 2010 I guess. Other thing you'd notice is that since 99 she's prepared "live pre-recordings" to some songs so when she goes on stage lambs and fans say "it was live because is different to the album version". Yes, that's exactly the reason to prepare a recording like that. Recall "Heartbreaker" anybody? Almost all her European performances since 97 are lipped. WMA are not usually. We are going to find out next week. Hope for her own good she's not being sabotaged by her own team because it could get even worst. But you know, if you cheat you deserve to be exposed. Not hate but just concious. (Monday 19 May 2014; 16:13)

The Elusive Chanteuse (43,806) by andy from philippines Physical copies. (Monday 19 May 2014; 15:54)

Randy (43,805) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia I really hope you're right boo. Because I can't really see her being that confortable lipping on that level in front of a live audience like that. Who knows, but I wouldn't go as far so to say all of her live belts are all fake or prerecorded. Yes we know many of them have been, but we've also heard many undeniable ones from her recently as well. I just chalk it up as one of her "off" days. Hopefully she breaks out of this. (Monday 19 May 2014; 15:42)

The legend (43,804) by meka from usA I wrote a post Thursday and can not find it anywhere. In short I was saying how I am tired of all these [...] lambs complaining about when Mariah does a type of music they do not necessarily like. I love it all. Rock Mariah, Pop Mariah, R&B Mariah, 80"s Mariah, Disco Mariah, Jazz Mariah, Soul Mariah, sing any diva under the table Mariah. The point is we all may have different musical tastes and that's fine but just because something is not your type of music does not automatically mean it is horrible. I agree Triumphant was not the best, but the different remixes made me appreciate it more. For me it's all about the musicality of it. Some people from what I am reading just like to complain about every and anything which is getting ridiculous. Oh and BTW the Today show was 97% live with a few lipped part here and there. Mariah gives herself away with her facial expressions. You can tell she was singing or wait do you guys think she lipped "I forgot the words to my own song"? Lol. As a student of music and a rare lamb that has actually sung live with MC, leave the woman alone, she is as close to perfection that ever existed. Pow. (Monday 19 May 2014; 15:42)

You Don't Know What To Do (43,803) by PJW from The U.K. The song just debuted on radio and it's fantastic. The bass is sexy, production sleek and smooth and her vocals are gorgeous. And she scats too, albeit only a tiny bit. Wale sounds good on the rap, though his talking over the intro (just like on the live performance) is odd and out of place. Hearing the studio version it shows how good the vocal arrangement at the Today show was. The backing singers really added oomph to it which would have been nice on the studio version but it's really not necessary, it sounds great anyway. I actually think this is gonna be one of my favourite Mariah songs. (Monday 19 May 2014; 15:02)

Supernatural (43,802) by Darryle from USA I think they took the snippet of this down. I went looking for it to listen but it's not up there. (Monday 19 May 2014; 14:55)

Mariah's singing accent (43,801) by PJW from The U.K. I noticed her doing this live way back maybe most so when singing "got to be real" with Patti La Belle but it really got to me on both live and recorded versions of "If you should ever be lonely". I've never liked that track for that reason alone. I think she's still capable of the "Mariah voice", but doesn't use it for a few reasons, one of them being years of critics saying she had no emotion in her voice, another that it's a very pretty, girly voice and that perhaps doesn't fit with a few of her mental constructs on image or sit well with memories of her earlier career. There might be reasons to do with the ease of using this current accent voice, but I've no real idea about that so it's just a guess. (Monday 19 May 2014; 12:15)

Elusive in the UK (43,800) by Antonio from Spain Hey lambily. Does someone know if Elusive is gonna be released in the UK in physical format? Because there is no promotion on the HMV stores and in Wikipedia it says "UK - Digital download". I am pretty scared because I want to get me a physical copy. Thank you. (Monday 19 May 2014; 12:08)

The voice (43,799) by Danny Braden from Uk It must be hard for Mariah to struggle maintaining an impossible image and skill. She has been one of the worlds greatest singers for 20 or so years even now she is still respected for that so the constant pressure and criticism from fans, labels and the general public must be disheartening but she keeps on doing it and bringing us new music and creativity I think as Mariah gets older unless she finds peace within her self is going to find it difficult. (Monday 19 May 2014; 8:11)

Lamb O Chop (43,798) by Randy from USA While I do believe she lipsyncs more than the lambily would like to realize, I'm having a hard time believing this video isn't doctored. If it is in fact true, it is what we've feared for some time now. None of her live high belts are her singing on stage and it calls into question every live performance after Divas Live 1998. I hope this video is not authentic. (Monday 19 May 2014; 6:47)

Re: Lee Uk (43,797) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia Hunny all I can say is I guess she wasn't feeling it that day. I agree though, I know she lips parts here and there, but I don't want to see her out there blatantly doing it like that. Hell she could've sung it in a lower key, hummed, or whistled it for all I care. Oh well she still have her "on" days when she can still give us a nice hardy robust belt so I won't (cry) about it too much about it. I just need her to really pull this voice together before she hits the the stage again to promote this album. Because chile. lol That's still my number one chick though. (Monday 19 May 2014; 4:37)

Supernatural snippet, anyone? (43,796) by Johnny from United States Everyone says it's amazing. Anyone know where I can hear it? Dying with anticipation. [Webmaster: Sorry, but I will not allow posts with links to leaks.] (Monday 19 May 2014; 3:38)

Mariah's singing accent (43,794) by Lee from UK I have recently been listening to a lot of Mariah's live performances from over the years and I have come to the conclusion that the reason I don't like Mariah's live voice these days is because of her vowel sounds. She has changed the way she pronounces some of her vowels; especially the ones on which she sustains a note. They way she sings them makes her sound nasally. It's hard to explain but her vowel sounds used to sound more rounded and smooth. Now they are a bit squeaky and scratchy at the same time. I don't know if anyone else has noticed or if it's just me but Mariah seems to have let her accent become more apparent in her singing voice since TEOM. Most singers don't appear to have an accent when they sing (unless of course you look at country singers) and Mariah never really used to have an accent in her singing voice either. To small humble me from England, she used to just have a generic American sounding singing accent that most English speaking singers tend to have (even most British singers). Now, however, there is definitely a different accent that can be heard on the vowels and they are not pleasant to the ear. (Sunday 18 May 2014; 21:19)

Lamb_O_Chop (43,793) by Lee from UK Thank you for posting that video. Can you imagine being in the audience and witnessing that happen? We all know Mariah lips most of the belting notes at the end of songs but to witness it in such a fashion is truly disappointing. I haven't mentioned anything about Mariah's Today Show performance because I wasn't expecting it to be good. After years of sub par live performance I come to expect shoddy vocals. But I would rather hear bad vocals sung live than good vocals pre-recorded. (Sunday 18 May 2014; 21:07)

Thirsty or You Don't Know What To Do (43,792) by B from USA I prefer Thirsty over YDKWTD. I think Thirsty has the potential to be a big hit with the right video. It's catchy. I like both versions. YDKWTD has potential as well. After a few false starts this era is, at least musically, taking off. She needs a video like Touch My Body for Thirsty. A video that pokes fun at the publics perception of her. (Sunday 18 May 2014; 19:25)

Mariah's dress (43,791) by Will from England Mariah's dress that she wore for her Today Show performance really reminded me on her GMA performance for TEOM, you know, the golden-ish shimmering ball gown etc. It looked great and she sounded great IMO. Were parts of the performances lipped? Maybe. But out of all her performances thus far, she sounded great that day. (Sunday 18 May 2014; 19:19)
