Mariah Carey

By Becky Bain All I Want for Christmas Is You (Mariah’s New Dance Mix 2009 - Extended Version) The “All I Want For Christmas Is You” Radio Edit, Dance Mix, and Extended Dance Mix are all currently available for digital download. Sadly, Motrin is not.

By Becky Here’s Mariah Carey’s new video for “I Want to Know What Love Is,” the Foreigner cover off her album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. Mimi looks at least ten years younger in the clip, sporting her Unplugged-era perm-tastic hair and a notable lack of Hello Kitty clothing, plus she finally get...

By Becky Yesterday we brought you the Top 5 Pop Stars Who Should Never Act Again, where, miraculously, Mariah Carey was kept off the list because of her work in Precious. (Okay, her part only lasts two scenes and she sat at a desk the whole time, but progress is progress.) Unfortunately, she’s still no...

By Robbie Leighton Meester, you crafty minx—you planned the recent release of your Robin Thicke duet “Somebody To Love” just so you can be nominated this year and next, didn’t you? Seriously, this show needs some Euro-cheese. Why not include David Guetta and Kelly Rowland’s “When Love Takes Over”...

By Robbie LIGHTS, naturally, isn’t having it, so cue up a Mariah Carey/”Heartbreaker”-style catfight, wherein the singer dukes it out with herself. But since we’ve all caught Mimi’s vid before, here’s MAD TV’s far superior spoof of it, “Love Muffin”:

By Maura Never let it be said that Mariah Carey isn’t afraid to make the grand gestures in order to assert her chart supremacy: She’s already released a Jermaine Dupri-produced remix of her third single from the sales disappointment Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel, “H.A.T.E. U,” that completely recon...

By Chris Molanphy Say this for her: Unlike Whitney Houston, whose singles-chart dominance occurred mostly in a tight dozen years from about 1986 to 1998, Carey has spent all of the last 19 years trying to keep up with current pop trends — and, mostly, getting rewarded for it. Billboard notes that the only yea...

By Maura 5. Mariah “shafted” by the Grammys? She may not get the special Lifetime Achievement Award In The Form Of A Pony that she thinks he deserves, but The Emancipation of Mimi garnered Best Contemporary R&B Album, and “We Belong Together” picked up two awards, in 2006. If anyone’s doing the “...

By Maura The first single from Mariah’s CD will not be “Obsessed”—that was just a summer trifle, and it was a lot of fun. The real first official single is said to be a powerhouse ballad along the lines of “Vision of Love.” Why Is Mariah Carey Canceling Events? [People]

By Maura Mariah Carey’s forthcoming Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel may have a title that’s in need of a copyeditor, but the inside is going to look like a magazine: Its liner notes, which Island Def Jam concocted in concert with some employees at Elle, will be 34 pages long and chock-full of Mimi-cen...

By Maura In an effort to keep everyone’s name in the gossip columns set the record straight about his prior involvements with Mariah Carey, Eminem has released “The Warning,” a few minutes of invective pointed directly at the floundering singer and her semi-courageous husband Nick Cannon, who...

By Maura Mariah Carey’s new single, Obsessed, has just fallen from number 11 to number 20 in only its second week. This looks to be the biggest flop for Mariah since “Loverboy,” which we lambs made a hit by gathering together and buying several copies. We can do the same for “Obsessed.”

By Maura Mariah Carey's semi-unfortunately titled Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel has been pushed back from its original Aug. 25 release date to Sept. 15, a three-week delay. There are reports that the album isn't done yet---Mimi herself said yesterday morning that she was "in the studio finishing t...

By Maura So what’s up with Mariah Carey’s voice? Was she feeling the emotions welling up from Michael Jackson’s death during her slightly off performance yesterday, as she claimed—or is her voice just shot from Choire Sicha at The Awl thinks it might be the latter, based on an interview he conduct...

By Maura ONE-LISTEN VERDICT: The Tricky Stewart/The-Dream-produced comeback single for the still-sorta-smouldering Mariah Carey is probably going to be omnipresent over the next few months, so get ready. As promised, “Obsessed” is definitely something of a stylistic leap for Mimi, with wa...

By Maura When Eminem’s Relapse leaked a week and a half ago, Nick Cannon–the teen idol who grew up to become Mariah Carey’s husband–took exception to the song “Bagpipes Over Baghdad,” specifically the part where… well, let’s just say that calling Cannon a “prick” and his wife a “fucking whore” wa...

By Maura Johnston 1. Alexis Grace. The spunky pink-haired mom from Memphis came out on stage looking like a pint-sized Christina Aguilera, and her "I Never Love A Man" had something that's often lacking in Idol performances: A nice dollop of grit. I spent her whole audition hoping that her early-in-the-show...

By Mike Barthel I'm not going to lie to you: I would not have been as interested in this song were it not for the video. But what a video! Jack McBrayer (30 Rock's Kenneth) plays a computer technician on an outcall at Mariah's mansion who fantasies about cavorting with her in oddly Mariah-esque ways.

By Chris Molanphy To be exact, 335,000 fans bought it, making “Life” the second-biggest one-week seller of all time behind Flo Rida’s “Low,” and the biggest-selling digital song (a) in a non-holiday week and (b) in its debut week. The previous record-holder for that last distinction was Mariah Carey, who...

By Maura Johnston Mariah Carey is rumored to be talking to the Planet Hollywood Casino in Vegas about establishing a three-year residency there, one that would result in her playing five nights a week at the casino while bringing home a cool $100 million. If I were her, I'd try and accelerate those negotatio...

By Maura Johnston This song was a commenter favorite, and I'll let chachwitablog take it away as to why: "The second I heard "loving you long time" I thought (a) this song is the perfect throwback to 90s Mariah, and (b) this song will take over my spring summer. I already played it out a little much, but it's due f...

By Anono-Critic So the June 2008 Vibe, which is intended to herald the summer, appears with none other than the patron saint of all outerborough broads on the cover. Mariah Carey, make no mistake, still sells records—at a time in which expectations for sales of tangible recorded product dwindle down furt...

By Maura Johnston So apparently Nick Cannon "directed" the video for Mariah Carey's "Bye Bye," although it really just seems to intersperse repurposed footage from meet-and-greets and photo shoots (we've all seen that bathing suit before) with some footage of a plane taking off, shots of newly minted l...

By Maura Johnston Mariah Carey and former Nickelodeon star Nick Cannon—shown here in 2005, back when Nick was still playing to the green slime crowd—have tied the knot, according to reports. (Guess she didn't mind getting a slightly used engagement ring.) I'm hoping that this means I'll soon be heading to m...

By Maura Johnston Nickelback Award For Inexplicable Durability: I don't know about you, but if someone had told me that Rick Ross would be the only mainstream hip-hop artist hanging tough with a top 20 album right now? Sure, it's only been seven weeks since Trilla (No. 15, 23,000) came out, but Snoop Dogg's E...

By Maura Johnston Mariah Carey's rough performance on GMA this morning started with an awkward stair-descent and only got worse from there; apparently chastised by accusations that her previous television appearances have been augmented by backing tapes, she attempted to prove to the world that she d...

By Maura Johnston 2. David Cook. Hey, I have an idea: Let's remove the most charming part of "Always Be My Baby"—the "bo do doops" on the chorus—and then turn the song into your typical David Cook nu-grunge ballad slog, complete with his version of a "big note" and an unresolved chord at the end! I guess I give him...

By Maura Johnston As previously reported, the video for Mariah Carey's "Touch My Body" is something of a big-budget affair, with Brett Ratner behind the camera and 30 Rock's Jack McBrayer as Mimi's sorta-love-interest. McBrayer plays a computer nerd (of course!) who's sent on a house call to upgrade Mari...

By Jess Harvell According to Mariah, "I heard about this competition, and I wish Puff all the best with his new fragrance, but I think we're actually appealing to different types of women. M by Mariah Carey is about being unforgettable, not unforgivable. It's not about a ménage à trois or a one night stand, i...
