THE 
January 17, 2008 Mariah Carey Is “That Chick” – The Diva Of All Divas!
Take me higher lord! It is no secret that I love Mariah Carey with all my heart, body and soul. For me even to begin to explain why, LBS would clearly become Mariahdaily.com! But the bottom line is that MC in addition to all her splendiferous God-given talents made me feel like I wasn’t alone as an outsider when I was growing up and when my sister passed her “One Sweet Day” literally gave me the strength to continue on this journey we called life. I absolutely adore everything about this new promotional picture, regardless of how you feel about Mimi you have to give it to her for staying true to who she is and not giving in to what others think her image should be which is something I definitely relate to. Mariah Carey’s unparalleled vocal and true songwriting abilities, ultra femininity, vulnerability, voluptuous womanly body and misunderstood humorous personality define her as the legendary icon she is. This often imitated never duplicated diva, I would argue is the single most influential female artist of our generation on numerous different levels. So yes indeed this personal inspiration with the most number-one singles—seventeen—for a female solo artist in the United States, Mariah Carey, is and forever will be That Chick for B. Scott! If you didn’t know, now you know love muffins! (And she rocking her trademark honey brown hair…. faints at the sheer fierceness of this promotional picture!)

AHHHHHHHHHHH!
This woman gives it to me everytime!
I have the ULTIMATE respect for Mariah Carey.
Like you B.Scott, she really has inspired me in so many ways. From being the first person ( when I was a little confused mixed race kid) who was out there, proud and positive about being mixed and showing me that there were other people like me and to embrace my culture, to never ever conforming to what others believe she should be…be that with her race, her style, her personality, her music. She’s stood true to herself when a million other celebrities and public figures bow to the pressure of image.
Her songwriting ability is through the roof. From the beauty of ‘The Roof’ to the amaaazing ‘One Sweet Day’ – a song that touches my heart everytime I listen – she’s lyrical magic.
Not to mention her record breaking, influential and stellar career…… Mariah: I liiiiive!

NEWER REVIEW IN –
Def Jam/ Island CEO Antonio ‘LA’ Reid jetted into London yesterday afternoon to present new releases from Ms Janet Jackson and Ms Mariah Carey.
Two of the world’s most iconic have been busy squirreling in the studio and return with Jackson’s Discipline and Carey’s That Chick.
Reid identified both artists as having a whole lot of ’swagger’ – before dropping a little dig to EMI. “That’s a music company. Well, it used to be,” he grinned before showcasing a bit more bitchiness. Or truth, depending on your POV! “We realised that it would take some work with Janet after her last two EMI album weren’t successful. Just like the last Mariah EMI album…”
Once that was done, it was on with the music. Reserving full opinion until we’ve had the chance to sit down properly with both records, we can however say that we think MC won out.
Janet seemed fairly ok – a couple of good club tracks – but otherwise somewhat generic uptempo and slow R&B numbers that sounded like they could have been off-cuts from All For You or Janet. And there was no need for Discipline. To put it bluntly, JJ apologises to her ‘daddy’ for ‘touching herself’ even though he ‘commanded’ her not to. ‘But I can smell you on my sheets/ Daddy I disobeyed you, now come punish me…I’ve been bad, make me cry…’ and so on and so on. Yuck.
Luckily, Mariah kept it a whole lot cleaner (but not squeaky, that would be dry!)
The first few tracks were big, but MC really hit hard with absolute banger Migrate featuring T-Pain. Oh my daze!!! “We sippin’ Grigio slow,” murmurs Mariah over some serious dirty south bounce. Not too sure about her dropping a bit of patois on the Damian Marley assisted Cruise Control (’Me say no man… tink I’m jokin’), but we’ll forgive her such strangeness considering the tune packs heat.
Vocally and sonically, this is yet another outstanding release from the world’s biggest selling superstar.
Watch out for a full review once the records are in for review…

Janet is a performer… Mariah is a singer… you cannot compare the two. Each one should only be compared to what she’s done previously in my opinion. Anyway, Mariah is EVERYTHING! My fav female artist of all time! And I want another album like ‘Janet’ or ‘Velvet Rope’ from Ms. Jackson… that would satisfy me!

and more! I can’t handle this…
Last night in a central London hotel theatre, Def Jam head L.A Reid invited a very exclusive VIP audience to hear the new albums from both his 2 top divas Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey. With stringent rules laid down at the top of the evening about not leaving the room for a bathroom visit, handing over all gadgets and returning song word sheets we knew it was about to go down.
Beginning with Janet’s new material which sees Janet reworking her old sounds from the days of Velvet Rope and Control, Janet’s material was quite sexually overt and a little gross (”real heavy like my first period”!) but it was really Mariah’s new material that blew everyone away.
Mariah’s new album, tentatively titled That Chick, saw collaborations with T Pain, Young Jeezy and Damien Marley with production by her long time friend and producer Jermaine Dupri, Will I Am, Rodney Jerkins and The Dream.
The new music with catchier hooks and melodies than ever, even sees Mariah taking on an exciting new musical adventure where she sings in Jamaican patois on her Damien Marley duet “Cruise Control” where she references “dramas” and “baby mamas” and like your favorite rap star Mariah throws down new Mariahism (”you love yourself some me!”) soon as the album gets into the public domain.
Urban music lovers in the house were really excited about that track as well as hip-hop banger “Heat” produced by Will I Am, “For Real,For Real”, and “Migrate” where 2007’s hit man T Pain hooks up with Mariah but it was the title track “That Chick” with its double entendres which includes a tip of the hat to Michael Jackson with references to his “Of The Wall Classics” that had pop chart taste makers excited claiming it was the number 1 track on the album closely followed by likely international pop hit “Love You Long Time”.
In typical Mariah fashion there were the legendary ballads “Love Story” and tear jerker “Bye Bye” (an ode to people who have passed away) that will have reality pop contestants singing away for decades to come!
One track titled “O.O.C” summed up the night and the return of Mariah – once the albums out it’s gonna be “Out Of Control!”.
To recap, here are the confirmed tracks from the new, tentatively-titled Mariah Carey album, That Chick:
• “Touch My Body”
• “Migrate” ft. T-Pain
• “Heat”
• “For Real, For Real”
• “That Chick”
• “Cruise Control” ft. Damien Marley
• “O.O.C”
• “Bye Bye”
• “Love Story”
• “Love You Long Time”

I will admit although I’ve always liked Mariah, I’ve never been a huge fan. But that album cover is HOT!!! Oh My God – I’m starting to get excited. I would buy this album based on the cover and these reviews alone. I’m rooting for Janet too…

Well, I’m about two steps from not returning to this website or at least not reading ANY POSTS THAT MAY FEATURE MARIAH CAREY VS JANET JACKSON OR IS AN ATTEMPT TO DO SO.
“I’m gone” and screw all of the Janet Jackson haters on this site.

Mariah looks like she can’t even hold up her own body weight in this photo. It looks like she’s trying so hard not to shit her panties.
