New Poll - It's Been a Year...

Alrighty folks the new poll is up now and it concerns the marriage of Mariah and Nick. I remember alot of disdain when she first married Nick, alot of shock and confusion. Then lots of fans voiced their bad feelings about the whole thing. So now after a year, how do you feel? Vote in the poll.

Slowness

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates, there's not really anything to report. I will however post a new poll and "For the Nostalgia" tonight. I may even start the "Mariah Inspiration Spotlight".

Poll Results - Mariah's Sexiest Video is...

According to you all, Mariah's sexiest video is Honey. I think it's hot too but I think her sexiest video is Don't Forget About Us. Here's the video you chose. The next poll will be up shortly.

For the Nostalgia - I'm That Chick (Live @ The Hills Premiere)

Everyone says most of the performances from the E=MC² era crashed and burned but not all of them. This one is actually great, she looks incredible, sounds great, her confidence was high, she's moving. I remember after I saw this I was hyped for the album to do big things. The live sound to this song is great too, everything about this was right, it was a great time in a MC fan's life. TMB went #1 on iTunes and went #1 on the Hot 100 the next week for the 18th number one! This was definitely a moment. Anyway, watch and enjoy this stone groove and most of all: relive the splendor.

My Obsession with Last Kiss

Now most people can't stand this song especially Mariah's fans but I'm crazy over it. Last Kiss has made every one of my favorite music of the moment playlists since April of 2008 when E=MC² came out. I mean, everything from the background vocals to the music to the lead vocals, it's all full of emotion. I think everybody should give this song a second chance (who claimed it was the worst song on the album). I can honestly say I've listened to this song about 10,000 times lol. I told Mariah on Twitter this song is the love child of Always Be My Baby and Don't Forget About Us. She sent me a personal response to that and said "that's cute, I never thought it that way." It's become one of my favorite Mariah songs ever, a true stone classic. It makes me excited for the next album.

Divas Live returns in 2009 on VH1!

Other Artist News: Christina Milian (New Song Snippet) - Zipper

Obviously with the six degrees from Mariah, Christina Milian is the ex of Mariah's husband, Nick Cannon. So only 2 degrees. Anyway, Christina has a blazin' new snippet of a song called Zipper and I wanted you guys to hear it. It just helps us anticipate Mariah's new music because this song is produced by The-Dream, who has done several songs from Mimi's new CD. So here it is, let me know if you dig it.

Breaking News on the Album!

From Jasmines Dotiwala's Blog

The early part of April was hectic! The G20 leaders dinner at Downing Street was legendary - a night full of historic memories. Next, we had Mrs Mariah Carey-Cannon's birthday celebrations in Barbados. Then, it was off to Miami where she was working on tracks for her next album, which is due out in the next few months.

Straight from Miami, Mr and Mrs C's jet plane landed at Heathrow, where the paps (who were waiting for politicians at the airport), bum-rushed her and asked her about whether she was happy about Obama's trip to the UK. Oh how we laughed. What do journalists expect someone to reply to such a redundant question?

"Um yeah...it's fabulous!" Mrs C had time for just three hours sleep before she got up to play me the songs she's made so far for the new album. We listened to the new music in a manner that I have never been treated to before. It was different, slightly naughty and millions of her fans would've loved to see through my eyes at that moment. But if I revealed what we did, there would be a worldwide scandal! What happens in a London hotel room, stays in a London hotel room!

I heard a variety of tracks, and there were big ballads, catchy melodic hooks, hilarious and witty wordplay, and clever lines galore.

I had a few favourite tracks: some that talk from the heartbroken lover's point of view; some representing the proud and stubborn dumper; and of course beautiful love songs, inspired by Mr C. On one song in particular, she wears her heart on her sleeve, and it's very touching to hear her pouring her heart out so publicly. Mrs C also told me about her dog JJ's new puppy playmate, that's been named Cha Cha. I then proceeded to inform her that me and my girls used to call a certain part of the female anatomy our 'cha cha'. She laughed and said: "I might've guessed - there's always some American-British language exchange humour when it comes to us!"

Then, we decided to play an April fools joke on MC's fans (otherwise known as 'lambs'): She encouraged me to tell my Twitter following that she'd had her hair cut short and died dark brown. Within seconds, her Twitter planet of fans hit me back with: "Nice try Jas, but we know it's an April fool." They're just too quick for me! I should've said she was shopping in Top Shop with me instead! They know her too well.

After catching up on things, Mrs C slipped her curves into a long, black designer dress and went out to the car - and paparazzi - waiting outside Claridge's Hotel. She was taken to her jet, which took her to South Africa where she and Mr C attended an event for a certain Mr Mandela. Mr Mandela is so full of life at 91 years of age. What an absolute living legend.

Can you imagine the requests of the VIP guests at an event like this? A thousand bottles of every spirit, wine and champagne, loads of healthy foods, plenty of Fiji water, masseuse ladies, white flowers, candles, etc. It makes the things I've put on MTV expenses in the past look lame!


Thanks to Whitney70 from FOMM for this info

Another Slow Day

Here we go again, the slowness is bleak. Welcome to all the new viewers coming on the blog, wish there was more to tell you right now. We do know that Mariah had a photoshoot last week, not sure what for but hopefully we'll find out soon. Have a great day guys. If any news drops during the day I'll post it via my cell phone, I'm heading to work now. There will be a new "For the Nostalgia" video tonight. God bless.

Do me a favor and bookmark the blog and come back again, thanks.

Looking for Awesome Mariah Covers on Youtube

What goes on, guys? Alright I'm looking for really good Mariah song covers by up and coming artists and singers on youtube. I wanna shine some light on people who Mariah has inspired. So if you know of any really good ones, leave me the artist name and the link to the video in the comments box. I'm gonna do a new thing called the Mariah Inspiration Spotlight. On the offchance that Mariah ever gets on this site, she'll be able to see how much she's inspired and influenced us all over the last 20 years. Thanks in advance guys, God bless.

For the Nostalgia - Dreamlover (Tokyo - Butterfly Tour)

Now somehow this is my first time seeing this performance, but I feel the nostalgia just the same. Mimi does the darn thing in it, with dancing and great vocals all the same. She also does both while looking quite good if I must say so myself. She should move around the stage more often like this. We all know she's most renowned for her INCREDIBLE DANCING Lol. Anyway this video is a stone winner and I hope you guys enjoy it and as always: relive the splendor.

Not Too Much Going On Today

Hey Good Folks, not alot happening today so I'll post a "For the Nostalgia" video in a little bit, maybe a few more things. I had a great church service that's always good.

Six Degrees of Seperation to Mariah

Here's how I'm gonna deal with other news outside of Mariah, that's important enough to post and still in a way be connected Mariah. Most of the other artists I like or would update on are within 6 degrees of being directly linked with her. For example, Brandy. Brandy worked in Cinderella with Whitney Houston who dueted with Mariah. I'll only do the 6 degrees thing once for every artist outside of her. The topics of other artists will be marked under Other Artist News.

New Poll/Blog Purpose

I'm adding a new poll to the blog as we speak. Get on that as in VOTE. LOL

As for the blog purpose, I mean, as far as news is concerned I will update the important and needed news concerning Mariah and the new album. However, I'm not trying to compete with MariahDailyJournal or anyone else doing MC news, it's all love with them. The purpose of this blog is to appreciate Mariah, discuss, have some news, enjoy the music, and have fun most of all.

I'd really appreciate all the feedback you guys can give. Like post comments, participate in the polls because by seeing that it keeps me motivated in doing the blog. No one wants to do a blog and it goes without notice, you know? Alright guys, few more new posts tonight then I'm heading to bed, Church in the AM. God bless.

Your Recordman²

Brand New Design!

We're changin' it up a bit, hope you guys like the change. The plain blog title is just temporary until I design or have someone else design a heading type picture.

Back In Action!

Hey folks, sorry for my downtime again. I had to reinspire myself to do this blog again. It's important to me though, as we embark upon another extraordinary journey to the next smash hit wonder album from our girl MCC, we gotta go for the ride together. Are yall ready? This is sure to be a STONE CLASSIC ALBUM.

Of course, I'm sure most of you have heard by now, Mariah HERSELF is on Twitter and posting as much as she can and giving us updates herself. I've personally received personal messages from her and I think that's amazing. God bless her for speaking with us. Her Twitter address is www.twitter.com/MariahCarey

ALRIGHT GOOD FOLKS let's do it big!
