#Beautiful (Remix feat. Miguel and Young Jeezy)

Another day, another Mariah Carey "Beautiful" remix. After giving us a A$AP Rocky, Dance, and Spanglish
version earlier this week, she recruits Atlanta native Young Jeezy for the official Hip-Hop remix. This is my personal favorite out of all them.
The new version features a reworked beat by DJ Mustard ("Rack City") Along with new vocals and lyrics from Mariah, this remix sounds like what Mariah fans have been waiting for, all the previous others were just unnecessary. The pop queen has one more remix of "Beautiful" left to release but I can't see her topping this version. Mariah's 14th studio album which is not "The Art Of Letting Go" is coming soon.




Listen to the new #Beautiful (Remix feat. Miguel and Young Jeezy) Here!

Mariah Wow's fans at 4th of July taping

Mariah Carey hangs out on a haystack

You having fun on that haystack there, Mariah Carey? The divalicious singer was spotted lounging on some hay while pre-recording part of the performance for her Macy's July 4th Spectacular. So, she's saying that hay is American? Not really sure I get the whole reason behind that, other than the fact that you can find hay in America? Guys, I just can't with Mariah. Also, why is she laying down but her duet partner Miguel has to creepily walk around her?
 I mean, I guess if that's the type of thing they're going for. And is anybody else really amused by Mariah's outfit? Personally, I think she should have worn her Disney wedding dressand hung out on a haystack. Seems much more Mariah.

Mariah wows in red gown for Macy's Fourth Of July special

Mariah Carey, 43, pre-taped her Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular performance on June 27 at
Liberty State Park in NJ. The star just released two new remixes of her song "#Beautiful" featuring Miguel. While she recently announced that she is pushing back the July release of her new album in order to have more time on it, she's still on fire - especially in her red dress.
 Mariah looked ready to walk the red carpet while performing on stage for her Macy's Independence Day show. In a stunning, floor length red gown the mega star looked smokin' hot. The dress was sexy yet whimsical, with a deep V-halter top and criss-cross front that left cutouts on the sides and in the back. It hugged Mariah's famous curves and made her look trim and toned.
 The back featured two long pieces of fabric that flowed out behind the singer and one of them attached to her finger so it moved with her as she sang. We bet that made for a beautiful performance. The dress also featured sparkling embellishments on the front - and it's a good thing they were minimal because Mariah chose to add sparkle in so many other places.
 In addition to her thick diamond bracelets and rings, her entire microphone and microphone stand were covered in jewels. There was so much bling it definitely looked more like a Grammy Awards performance than a Fourth of July concert, but she wouldn't be Mariah Carey if she wasn't a diamond covered diva, right?

Mariah Carey is a double delight

There may be only one other diva who can give Beyonce's rendition of the National Anthem a run for its
money. And for this upcoming Fourth of July, Mariah Carey might be preparing to show that she's up for the job. The 43-year-old songstress pre-taped a segment in New York on Thursday for an upcoming NBC special, Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular. Though the show - hosted by husband Nick Cannon - is set to air at 8pm EST, the pop star got to work a bit early in Liberty State Park.
 Fitting for the American holiday, Mariah donned a vibrant red gown for the taping. Its train added an extra layer of glamour that the singer threw in the air with a flourish as she sang. Side cut-outs accentuated Mariah's enviable curves, while a diamond cuff boosted her sparkle factor.
 As she exercised her five-octave vocal range, her long locks blew in the wind - only making her performance that much more Mariah. The songstress also changed into a sexy black dress and and a country girl outfit, sitting on a bale of hay at one point.
 The esteemed singer recently pushed back the release of her upcoming album. She shared on Monday that she's holding off on releasing The Art Of Letting Go for artistic reasons. "While making this album, I got so immersed in the creative process that I just don't feel I would be doing it justice to release it on 7/23," she wrote on her Twitter page.
 She went on to say: "I'd rather not exclude meaningful songs. I want to give you this album as it's meant to be heard. When I'm ready, you'll be the first to know!" The whole album will feature her Billboard hit #Beautiful, featuring Miguel.

New song: Mariah Carey (feat. Miguel & A$AP Rocky)

Mariah Carey calls upon Harlem native A$AP Rocky for the first official remix to her hit single "Beautiful".
The vocals and production are the same, only difference is an added A$AP Rocky verse to the beginning giving it a little bit more of a Hip-Hop sound. The original "Beautiful" is found on her upcoming album "The Art Of Letting Go".
 This remix may disappoint Mariah fans as the only difference is an added 35 second A$AP Rocky verse but no worries! She plans on releasing four more remixes over the next few days including another Hip-Hop collab, a dance remix, and a Spanglish version. You can bet those will have new vocals and new production. On another note, this is a good look for A$AP Rocky.
 "The Art Of Letting Go" was originally set to release on July 23rd but delayed indefinitely due to Mariah wanting to put more creative work into the album.

Nick: "Me, Dave! Come on, man! You know I run it. She may pay the bills, but I run the house!"

Nick Cannon appeared on The Late Show With David Letterman last night to promote America's Got Talent & his MTV2 series Wild 'N Out. He spoke with Letterman about home life with Mariah and the twins. Check out what he had to say below:

Nick Cannon said that he "willed into existence" his marriage to Mariah Carey during his visit to "Late Show." He said he'd always considered Carey his dream girl, and that hasn't changed. The only difference is that now he's living his dream every day.

"She's mommy. She's no longer Mariah around the house," Cannon said of Carey. "She's just mommy. So it's a beautiful thing." The couple has young twins at home.

When asked who runs the house, Cannon declared, "Me, Dave! Come on, man! You know I run it. She may pay the bills, but I run the house!"

JD Confirms Mariah's album title on twitter

Rumor: And The Title of Mariah Carey’s New Album is…

Mariah Carey started her career with relatively simple album titles: Emotions, Daydream, Butterfly, and
Mariah Carey all spring to mind. But in the past ten years, Mimi’s titles have gotten a lot more, shall we say, dramatic? There was The Emancipation of Mimi, the scientific E=MC2, and who can forget the Lifetime movie of the week, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. The diva continues the trend with the title of her upcoming fourteenth studio album, The Art of Letting Go, which was prematurely revealed earlier today by Walmart.

What exactly is Mariah letting go of, though? Musical trend hopping and dressing like an AVN award winner? Judging by the crotchtastic music video for her latest single, hashtag “Beautiful,” that would be a no. Mimi has yet to explain the meaning behind the title, but she did reference it on instagram with the caption on that very Mariah-esque pool picture you see above.

“A much needed splash after hours pon de mic singing for my #beautiful #lambily!” she wrote. “Melancholic moment letting go of something this personal to me yet I couldn’t be more excited to give three years of my soul to the fans.”

The Art of Letting Go got off to a slow start with its non-charting lead single, “Triumphant,” but things are looking a lot better for the album now thanks to the success of “#Beautiful.” The song just reached a new peak of No. 15 on the Hot 100, and is just a few thousand copies shy of being certified gold. With a strong follow-up single (a “We Belong Together” for “#Beautiful’s” “It’s Like That”), this could end up being a big era for Mimi.

#Beautiful (Remix)

I Loved the picture Mariah tweeted tonight so much I used it for a remix cover. 

Mariah tweets picture of her spotless kitchen to fans

On Sunday Mariah Carey was one of the first stars who woke up and used social media to wish the men of the world a happy father's day. While she was talking to everyone the real man around her house, Nick Cannon, was the special focus of her message. As her devotees were extremely impressed, they also were offered a glimpse into her private home with a unsuspecting picture.
 "Happy Father's Day everyone and especially to my amazing husband Nick Cannon," tweeted Mariah Carey from her official Twitter account. The picture she attached to the message had her family all sitting at the table while Nick Cannon was enjoying a special breakfast.
 Looking behind the family, the spotless kitchen of Mariah Carey couldn't be ignored. The typical all-American location where meals were cooked looked to be absolutely spotless. Not a container on the counter and no dish (except on the table) was seen.
 While Mariah Carey didn't mention if she actually cooked the meal for Nick herself or if someone else did it, her kitchen definitely is a place for fans to be jealous over. The perfection of the room had everyone absolutely impressed.

The New Era Begins... #MC723

Mariah Carey photo causes a stir

A still from Lee Daniel's latest movie, The Butler, is causing a bit of a ruckus on Twitter. The movie is about
Eugene Allen, who retired as head butler of the White House in 1986. The photo shows Mariah Carey as a slave working in a cotton field with two other darker-skinned (assumed) slaves in the background.
 The picture raised questions in some folks' minds about the historical accuracy of the film: How likely would it be that someone of Mariah's complexion would be working in the fields on a plantation? It seems that most people think that light skin meant you were working in the house, and that dark skin invariably put you in the fields, which is untrue. I'm going to try to decide whether we should blame movies or our failing educational system for this.

The Butler

There is a new promo picture of Mariah from The Butler. The Butler is an upcoming historical drama film

directed by Lee Daniels and featuring an ensemble cast. The film stars Forest Whitaker as Cecil Gaines, an African-American who eyewitnesses notable events of the 20th century during his tenure as a White House butler.

 The film is based on the real-life account of Eugene Allen, who served as a White House butler during eight American presidencies from 1952 to 1986. Mariah plays the role of Hattie Pearl.
