Cover (39,597) by RadChad from United States Ok I'll bite. Honestly the cover is a very tastefully done (though it's a bathing suit, yet again). My only gripe would be that it looks photoshopped for life, nevertheless still beautiful artsy and refreshing actually. I remember when MC first started the sex kitten image in '97, I was bothered because I thought it would take attention away from her talent, and people would misjudge her as a slutty bimbo. At this point it hardly matters to me anymore, though there's still those moments I'm like "no MC no". This cover is far from being one of them. (Wednesday 30 October 2013; 2:34)

Cover (39,596) by Trish from USA I liked the fake cover Mariah Connection put on Facebook better. I'm a little tired of the bathing suit stuff too. I do like the background, (yes, I get the references) and of course I think M is beautiful, but I'm hoping for a thought provoking, deep, spiritual song and for me the bathing suit shot doesn't speak to spirituality/the art of letting go. Btw, it's okay to express opinions about art, that's the whole point of art. (Wednesday 30 October 2013; 1:11)

New cover (39,595) by Jamie from UK Wow the photo is stunning, no doubt. I really do like it as the single cover. But to be the album cover too like some have suggested, well umm... I mean with her going on about how serious it is and stuff. She said herself "the album is going to be a brand new representation of me as an artist". So for the album cover I'm hoping for something different; artistic and original to set her apart from the rest. (Tuesday 29 October 2013; 23:00)

Eric, criticisms (39,594) by Stacey from USA Eric, I can almost guarantee someone will find fault with people who post an opinion criticizing something MC does. I hesitated posting my thoughts because I knew someone would try and group us all as haters. It's honestly comical to me at this point, lol. (Tuesday 29 October 2013; 21:41)

Re: The Art Of Letting Go cover (39,592) (39,593) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Am I missing something? Most fans like/love the cover, only two fans have criticized the cover. So I think you're overreacting when you say "I come on here to a bunch of critics". (Tuesday 29 October 2013; 18:29)

The Art Of Letting Go cover (39,592) by clueey23 from USA I come on here to a bunch of critics. Geesh. The cover is called "art" for a reason. Back in the day people didn't even use their own faces for their projects. I have a bunch of albums that are literally artwork. I think this is MC best cover ever, album or single. As far as the music, I'm as excited as I was at any other time about a Mariah project because I know that she never fails me and my personal taste in music. I just love the way you all have bought stock in MC and if this next single doesn't reach the top 5 or the album doesn't debut at #1 you'll loose millions. (Tuesday 29 October 2013; 18:20)

Excited for the song (39,591) by Stacey from USA But the cover art? Not so much. I'm kinda tired of the whole bathing suit thing (videos, etc.). I'll leave it at that. Peace. (Tuesday 29 October 2013; 17:58)

Nowhere near finished? (39,590) by Quaid Long from USA So Mariah says her collabo with Nas is "nowhere near finished". Ugh. Even though I have full faith in her and this new project, I think that when she says stuff like that it only makes lambs more anxious. Yes, we know we're gonna have a new single in 2 weeks, for which I'm abundantly grateful, lol, but come on Mimi, finish the damn album and announce a release date already! (Tuesday 29 October 2013; 16:51)

Single art (39,589) by Matthew from USA I like it, but it looks too much like her fragrance ad for me to love it. The water and the orange clouds are the same. Only thing different is that Mariah was naked in the fragrance ad and mostly submerged in the water. (Tuesday 29 October 2013; 8:36)

TAOLG picture (39,588) by Bill from the UK Beautiful picture, reminds me of the My All video (though now with a bigger cleavage lol). I can't wait to hear this track. (Tuesday 29 October 2013; 7:58)

Edward (39,587) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom Indeed. It will be interesting to actually hear the song, and the general direction of the rest of the album. These teasers actually seem to have the fans really excited. (Tuesday 29 October 2013; 0:17)

Correction (39,586) by Will from England Sorry, that was supposed to read as "TJ, TEOM album cover looked even less like Mariah." (Monday 28 October 2013; 22:56)

Stephen / TJ (39,585) by Will from England I'd been thinking that as well. I remember her talking about having something like that being painted in Dem Babies' nursery, and want something similar for her bedroom. TJ, TEOM album cover looked even like Mariah, remember how they were all saying she looked like Beyonce? Something feels very different about this era and what's in store for us. And if the single cover is this good, imagine what the album cover could look like. (Monday 28 October 2013; 21:41)

Single cover (39,584) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom That should be the album cover. It's perfect and amazing. Very artistic, tasteful and sexy. Also, I love the fact that she's underneath the stars and covered by orange clouds all at the same time. Do we think she's paying homage to two of her favourite and most personal songs? Could be a hidden clue to fans as to the creative depth of the new album. (Monday 28 October 2013; 21:07)

New cover (39,583) by Licia from USA I love it. Very simple, yet beautiful. I still like that other alledged album cover of her in the pool. That face shot was gorgeous. (Monday 28 October 2013; 20:40)

Cover art (39,582) by TJ from Norway Yes it's art, because it's not Mariah. Why do they feel the need to photoshop a picture that much? The pictures from BET show us a real person. I don't get it, and I don't buy the "everyone is doing it" argument. (Monday 28 October 2013; 20:21)

The new single cover (39,581) by Gerald from USA by the way of NYC The new single cover for The Art Of Letting Go is simple yet sexy without doing too much. I like the natural look meets the peaceful enviroment. I'm also feeling a little The Emancipation Of Mimi and Butterfly vibes with this new cover. Now all I want is the new single, my patience is getting the best of me. (Monday 28 October 2013; 19:01)

TAOLG cover picture (39,580) by Terna from Nigeria Now that's what I call #Beautiful. Exactly 2 more weeks to go guys. Notice how "The Art of Letting Go" is written in her own handwriting, a first I think, not sure though. (Monday 28 October 2013; 17:55)

New cover (39,579) by Gloria from Hong Kong That should be the album cover "and I can't pretend that that doesn't mean a thing to me". Such a beautiful artwork. I expect great music but not stunning covers. This time the lady again shocks the world! (Monday 28 October 2013; 17:00)

Single cover (39,578) by Will from England I really love it! It's simple and just elegant. The colours, the lighting, Mariah (ok, with a few touch ups), everything is just beautiful about it. At least it isn't just a couple of screen shots from a music video. It's very "M by Mariah Carey" meets TEOM promo shots meets "Butterfly" single cover. (Monday 28 October 2013; 16:51)

TAOLG cover photo (39,577) by Ryan from the Philippines Nice. Really beautiful. She's flaming. (Monday 28 October 2013; 16:14)

Halloween photo / in anticipation of TAOLG (39,576) by Ryan from the Philippines I made one glance at that Halloween photo where she was wearing that pink tiny clothes and I was like this . Hahaha. She is just so hot and I felt like something was pulsating lol. And Roc's face looked so funny. Priceless moment. About TAOLG teaser, first two seconds sounded the intro sound from Can't Take That Away and the next violin variations sounded a little bit of Adele's Skyfall. I'm just so excited to hear the real art of all art that's around this time. But hey, I'm not dissing someone. Lol. (Monday 28 October 2013; 11:30)

Brad (39,575) by Will from England Yeah, I noticed that too lol. It wouldn't be the first time that she's recycled a dress though. How many times did she use that Golden Globes dress? (Monday 28 October 2013; 11:30)

All I Ever Wanted vs Whenever You Call (39,574) by Will from Australia I can't believe I never noticed this until today, but I was listening to All I Ever Wanted and Walter A came into my mind and literally while listening to All I Ever Wanted I paid more attention to the background arrangement of the music and realised it's actually an early version of Whenever You Call. Granted, WYC is much more dramatically sung by Mariah, but there's even similarities in the vocals. Go listen to them and see if anyone else agrees, or disagree "I will hunt you down." (Monday 28 October 2013; 7:08)

Stephen / TAOLG teaser / MCIIY (39,573) by Edward from USA Stephen, I agree with you 100%. When I heard TAOLG teaser, I thought it was in the same vein as "Christmas Time Is in the Air Again" from MCIIY. Just like you I think that given the fact that it is going to be released around the Holidays, that type of sound is just right. I was sad when "Christmas Time Is in the Air Again" didn't do anything on the charts, since I love that sound for Mariah. When I first heard TAOLG teaser, I was like: Is Mariah trying to pull a Michael Bubble on us, which would be great, lol. (Monday 28 October 2013; 4:00)
