How about this game? Lol (38,934) by enwar00 from usa Which Mariah single would you not have wanted as a single? I'm gonna go with Never Too Far. So not a fan. There's a different song on Glitter that I love, but I'll leave it at that. (Wednesday 7 August 2013; 6:38)

Forever and Butterfly (38,933) by enwar00 from usa Going back to Randy's question, I think both these songs possibly could have been #1s in the US. Both were big radio hits, and Mariah was selling singles by the millions back then. Forever was during the famous Daydream era that we keep speaking of, and had it been released as a commercial single it may have reached the top. Fourth single, less sales, everybody had Daydream, I get that, so put another B-side on there, I don't know. Same thing with Butterfly, and that was only the second single from that album. And I'm not even saying they should've released these singles, just saying that they could have possibly hit the top. Personally, I like Butterfly better. I also think the video was very different. My favorite videos were off that album. (Wednesday 7 August 2013; 6:28)

Randy, Shake it Off (38,932) by enwar00 from usa Haha I like your game. The first single that comes to my mind is Shake it Off. Mariah seemed unstoppable around that time. The single hit big and flew up the charts and was following the record-breaking momentum of We Belong Together, so it seemed destined to hit #1. Not only was it a catchy, bouncy song but in my opinion had a fierce video that was popular as well. I understand that Golddigger went nuts on downloads and kept it at #2, but it's worth mentioning that if We Belong Together wasn't that huge a hit, Shake it Off would've hit #1. What a problem to have though really. By the way, I love love love Can't Let Go, to this day. Brilliant song both in its lyrics and delivery. As an adult the lyrics definitely have taken on meaning for me vs. when it was released. Also, no matter what was said about that video or if Mariah was embarrassed by it or whatever, I love it and think it's classy. (Wednesday 7 August 2013; 6:08)

Meriweatherc86 / Stephen (38,931) by Stacey from USA Just goes to show how talented Mariah is that she can put out a greatest hits album after only 10 years in the biz. I thought she missed a huge opportunity with the remix album. There are so many amazing rare remixes out there that many fans I doubt have heard that should have been included. I hope she does some sort of special release someday where she can release all her songs to her fans. She says she loves us and I don't doubt that. That kind of a release would really prove it. Stephen, congrats my friend. Science has come a long way, lol. I need new MC music like yesterday, lol. (Wednesday 7 August 2013; 5:43)

"Can't Let Go" (38,930) by Xavier Peoples from United States I also can't believe "Can't Let Go" never hit #1. I have always loved that song and I have also never heard of that song that kept it from hitting #1. That Robin Thicke song "Love After War" really reminds me of "Can't Let Go". (Wednesday 7 August 2013; 4:13)

Lullaby of Birdland? (38,929) by nikki from usa There will be some peeps with eargasms if that's true, it's about time we got some jazz. Although, wasn't that the song Mariah sang at the Carlyle? I'd rather hear her do her own cover of "Fever". That's a hot track. MC's so into sex appeal, that's the track to let that reign. Randy, I'm almost positive the track that kept MC's "Can't Let Go" from the top was Ace of Base's "Sign". "I saw the sign" or something like that. Are we ever going to get to see this music video Mariah gave her shoulder and ribs for? (Wednesday 7 August 2013; 2:31)

Stephen / Ariana / not another Daydream (38,928) by Edward from USA Stephen, I always wondered why you were glowing so much on your pic, but now I understand. As I had said before, sounding like another singer could backfire. Ariana Grande new single in less than three weeks is out of iTunes and Amazon top 100. If she doesn't bring her own voice to her songs, she won't have another album after "Yours Truly". The careers of those who imitated Whitney or Mariah never took off. Mariah has always wanted to work with Stevie Wonder, and there isn't a better time for this duet to come to fruition. I am glad she postponed "The Art of Letting", since she and we know by now this new album could be it. I don't want another Daydream, but she needs the balance she brought on it. I think we need a few tracks in the vein of "Almost Home" in the new album. She has overplayed the Hip Hop card by now, it has become formulaic and predictable. I definitely think that a duet with Toni Braxton would benefit both their careers. (Wednesday 7 August 2013; 2:05)

While we're waiting for the album, let's play a game (38,927) by Randy from USA Which Mariah single are you shocked didn't make it to #1? Give your reason. Ima have to go with Can't Let Go. The lyric, the vocal and the production is amazing. And it was so different from her first 5 #1s. Then on top of that, it was kept from #1 by Color Me Bad's All 4 Love? I don't even know that song and I was listening to pop and r&b heavy at the time. (Wednesday 7 August 2013; 1:35)

Will (38,926) by Licia from USA We are having quadruplets. Their names are Pip, Pow, Bing, and Bong. They are some very special lamb muffins lmao. (Wednesday 7 August 2013; 0:50)

New album (38,925) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I don't want another Daydream or TEOM, I want something completely new. I have listened to many of her oldest ballads lately, and I really think she should sing ballads. I know ballads is very '90s, and I think that Mariah's decline in popularity is because she is known for that, and ballads aren't really that much in the music scene these days. But maybe she can bring it back. I don't think Mariah will put out any new album until her shoulder is healed. But really, I don't understand how the injury can be so serious, I have dislocated my shoulders many times, and I can really move the arm after it's been put in place again. You shouldn't though, so that's why you need the sling. Anyway, I hope for new music very soon, and where is that music video for the remix she made? (Wednesday 7 August 2013; 0:06)

Licia and Stephen / The Butler premiere (38,924) by Will from England Congrats to you both lol. That really made me laugh. Mariah looked great at the premiere and the press conference. She really worked that sling for all it was worth lol. Would never have thought to have the sling be turned into a sleeve and make it part of the outfit. Wouldn't it be hilarious if she came out with her own line of customised slings? (Tuesday 6 August 2013; 21:33)

I'm sorry but... (38,923) by Licia from USA I'm the one who got Stephen pregnant. It was an accident. He had on his glitter shorts and I couldn't resist. Lmao. I agree with both you and Stacey, I need my new music, but as you said I'd rather wait for quality music. I'll just continue to blast my old Mariah for now. (Tuesday 6 August 2013; 19:41)

Stacey (38,922) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom Like you, I'm pregnant. Jokes lol. Nah, like you, I'm getting impatient. I want new music like yesterday. I'm happy to wait for quality music. I just wish it wasn't so long already. Anyways, me moaning about it won't make it happen any quicker lol. (Tuesday 6 August 2013; 15:14)

The Butler premiere / Lee Daniels (38,921) by Licia from USA Both Mariah and Nick looked really nice at the premiere. I might be the only one, but I love them as a couple. He seems to make her happy. It helps that he's nice to look at too. Lol. I adore Lee Daniels. He seems to bring out the best in Mariah. He makes her do everything she doesn't enjoy, but she does it because she's serious about the acting. I believe he basically tells her to leave all that bullsh*t and the diva at the door and they get the work done. (Tuesday 6 August 2013; 14:25)

B-sides and unreleased tracks / album cover (38,920) by clueey23 from USA I need an album of all of the material that we know of that hasn't really been released. ie: "I Feel It", "Imperfect", "Skydiving". All of the tracks that were released overseas, "There For Me", "There Goes My Heart". MC has so much material that I just feel like in at least the next 5 years or so, we should get a double album of this material on her 30th anniversary in the music business. Like a thank you to the fans. Not another "greatest hits". She's still "too young for that" lol. She is such an underrated talent to me. Her "gems" have really yet to be heard. I guess I can hope and wish, right? More so than anything at the moment, I hope this pic next to the "track listing" for the new album is not really the pic for the cover. I really hope we get something like the ad mock up that surfaced a couple weeks back. (Tuesday 6 August 2013; 5:20)

Tracklisting (38,918) by Bill from the UK I'm a little suspicious of the track listing. I did get excited to see a collaboration with Stevie Wonder produced by Wally A, but I can't get my hopes up. Doesn't Walter still ultimately work for Sony (i.e. employed by them)? Doubt they would let him work on another label. I think the album will be MOAIA 2, and not the return to form we are hoping for. #Beautiful was good, but not great. The Dream is back on the scene. Another album of slow jams and finger snaps? I hope not. (Monday 5 August 2013; 23:21)

Fake (38,917) by Anonymous from 06. Lullaby of Birdland at least I hope so. (Monday 5 August 2013; 22:18)

Album rumors (38,916) by Stacey from USA Good call, Stephen. Album rumors drive me nuts because so many fly around the news when a new album is in the works. Like you, I'll wait until MC or her teams confirms such news. This waiting is driving me nuts, though. I better have some new MC music when this baby comes in November. You hear me, Mariah? Hehe. (Monday 5 August 2013; 21:02)

Tracklist good call, Stephen (38,915) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada In my excitement to see something that might suggest the album was close, I forgot that fake stuff comes out too. This one feels legit, but time will tell. (Monday 5 August 2013; 17:22)

Re: Tracklisting / Stephen (38,914) by TJ from USA I agree with you 100%. I also don't think Mariah would make us wait 3 more months for TAOLG. If so, then releasing #Beautiful (and its subsequent remixes) was a terrible idea this early. Something tells me we'll get a new single soon (Wale) as she did with #Beautiful and then she'll let us know when her "Art" is ready. (Monday 5 August 2013; 14:46)

Traclisting (38,913) by George Golden from UK I hope this is the correct track listing after the album release date changed. It looks promising, more album cuts than singles. Perfect. I hope it's not November, because it's been too long men. Lol. (Monday 5 August 2013; 14:16)

Track list (38,912) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom I'm not going to pay any attention to the track list until Mariah or her team confirms what the actual track list is. I remember a fake track listing coming out before most Mariah albums, usually all incorrect. The only thing I will state with regards to this is that some of the tracks have previously been mentioned, such as Hope Street, so as Randy suggested, it may have been the original track list, before the album got pushed back. In any event, it could be totally false, who knows? Until it's been confirmed, I refuse to comment any further. (Monday 5 August 2013; 13:43)

Re: MC and Hip Hop / TJ (38,911) by Paul from USA Well, she been hip hop since "Butterfly" (an album, I love nonetheless). Me and George Golden are just "old guard" Mariah fans. Lol. (Monday 5 August 2013; 13:06)

Track list (38,910) by Will from England It probably isn't real. I don't see how any of the songs reflect what Mariah has been talking about (ie raw ballads etc.) or the title. "Mr Operator" doesn't sound like the raw, deep ballad that one might expect from Mariah. Keep in mind that the article said "rumoured", not confirmed. The only legit and confirmed track is #Beautiful lol. The same thing happened with MOAIA, I believe one of the rumoured tracks was titled "Angels in My Backyard" or something to that effect lol. (Monday 5 August 2013; 13:03)

I'm a noob here (38,909) by Paul from USA Huge Mariah fan since the 90's. I stuck by her, even though she disappointed me for most of the 2000's. Great site. Re: Glitter / Joachim: Yeah, I noticed that, too. Maybe it has something to do with the record label not wanting it on Spotify. Also it's the soundtrack of a film that even the most fanatical Mariah fan hated. I just like to pretend and live life like it never happened. Glitter, what? Re: The Art of Letting Go / Will: I absolutely concur, Will. My expectations are low. I don't want to get my hopes up. I expect enjoying half the album (I'm being a bit generous) and not listening to the other half again, like all of her albums in the 2000's (yes, even the loved TEOM). If you're expecting a "Daydream", you're living in a fantasy, baby (no pun intended). That's her magnum opus. I don't think she top that amazing album. If the throwback "#Beautiful" (nevermind the tacky MV and name) is any indication on how the whole album will be like, plus the fact Walter A. is involved and TAOLG is apparently inspired by her "Emotions" album, I'm more hopeful than usual. Re: Collaborations / George Golden: Wow, great minds think alike. Stick to pop/r&b ballads and uptempos, Mariah. Her hip-hop experimentation in late 90's were alright ("The Roof" was a superb track). She should've stopped a long time ago, IMO. But if she wants to continue this hip-hop route, more power to her. (Monday 5 August 2013; 12:56)
