more new pictures

Doesn’t that look Beyonce in the background of the first pic to the left of Mariah’s head in the yellow? Is she truly everywhere or am I imagining things?

@ imagining..

i dunno it does look like her, and come to think of it the girl to her left looks like either michelle or kelly

I wish I had one of those machines like they have on CSI and SVU so I can zoom in and see if that’s that B sitting back there.

Nope, that's her.

She should be banished from the musical kingdom forever especially after stepping on the Queen’s toes. "Off with her beweaved head!"

I hope that is her outfit AFTER the video was shot, because that is not very MARIAH like, especially for a song called "touch my body"

Glad Mariah has gotten rid of that blonde hair! Can't wait to hear this single tomorrow.

ahhh what a beautiful day. about 6 hrs left till B96 premiers the single.

E=MC²?

Aw hell yeah! I love that title better than "That Chick". That was so fucking corny!

Timmy84 said:

That Chick was corny?

It pales in comparison to E=MC², in my humble opinion.




Why not "Newton's Laws of Motion"?

she's been describing the theme to this album as empowering,, so some interepretted the title as Empowered=MC² LOL

some say (since mariah also described this project as Emancipation part 2) that it could mean Emancipation=MARIAH CAREY Part 2

i'll wait for her explanation though

this was posted at the official website



so it might not be the album cover.

MARIAH CAREY
“Touch My Body”
(Island/IDJMG)

How does an artist follow-up one of their biggest selling albums that included two number one singles when most had written the artist off as a causality of being relevant or not? If you’re Mariah Carey, you keep it simple, and that’s one thing MC has done with her debut single from her forthcoming album, E=MC². “Touch My Body” (co-written and produced with Tricky Stewart and The-Dream) is the perfect lead track to re-ignite her most passionate fan base, who've kept her relevant through good times and bad… times are pretty good for Mariah nowadays! This mid-tempo track is pure fun, sounding at times reminiscent of another Carey gem, “Always Be My Baby,” but yet different enough to sound like something totally fresh and new. Mariah’s vocal range is also kept in check and fits the song to perfection. The hypnotic “Touch My Body…My Body” hook is sure to stick after one-listen. While the thought of Mariah Carey exceeding expectations remains a question, simply because the bar she’s set is so high, matching them is a good way to start. This “body” of work sounds like a hit! BET ON IT!

Thank god she lost the THAT CHICK title, also glad that it looks like the cover is NOT going to be the picture with the hat. I never liked that photo, something about it looks very awkward. Honestly i think the cover should be similar to Donna Summers "Four Seasons of Love" album cover, that would be really hot for Mariah.
