[Revealed] Album Art For Mariah Carey's "#1 To Infinity" Revealed
In what was a pretty successful internet campaign yesterday, Mariah Carey teased fans over the course of the day with a bit by bit release of her newest album cover. To help get the word out, the image was revealed swifter to those who shared the news via social media. A tact that lead to #RevealMariah trending periodically throughout the day. How's that for relevancy!

Mariah Carey shows Funny Side on The Late Show " Carpool Karaoke"
We Mariah Carey fans already know that this Diva has a sense of humour. Sure, it's a certain brand of funny. But nonetheless, it's still one that takes many an uninitiated by surprise.

[Discuss] Mariah Carey Returns To Sony, But How Can They Resuscitate her Stalled Career?
Mariah Carey has had a trying few years on the music front. Ever since the triumphant comeback of 2005's the The Emancipation Of Mimi, the Diva has suffered from dwindling sales and diminishing relevancy with the wider public.

Mariah Carey Performs At The Jazz and Blues Festival, Jamaica
Looks like Mariah Carey can still bring in the crowds, having just performed to a sold-out audience at the Jazz and Blues Festival in Jamaica.
Appearing less polished than usual, the Diva went on to deliver her first live showing of 2015 in a similar fashion. With clearly lipped parts, some more embarrassingly executed than others, Mariah was not on her best form that night. She did look like she was enjoying herself, which is nice to see, but you expect a certain level of professionalism from a veteran like Carey. Her voice did sound better in parts, but the whole performance was in no way near the standard her Vegas residency will require.
Still, sample a taster of what the Elusive Chanteuse brought to Jamaica, below.

[Quiz] Which Diva "Whistled" What?
The highest part of the voice- AKA the "whistle" register- is often thought of as nothing more than a freakish extension of a person's range. So devoid of character and individuality that it adds precious little to a vocal, bar a chance for showboating. Blasphemy, I say!!
We here at DivaDevotee are a (mostly) proud bunch of flageolet lovers (hehehe), who I'm sure think can attribute a whistle tone to a particular singer with relative ease. (Me included!) But let's find out if this is true, with the 9 question quiz below!
Simply listen to each example, check the Diva's name and submit your answer to find out if you were correct or not. It would be cool if you could tot up your score and post it, along with any other whistle-related discussion, in the comments.
So watcha waiting for. Give your ears a workout.

Mariah Carey Heads To Vegas For Residency
The Diva with the 5-octave range is headed for The Colosseum At Caesars Palace, Las Vegas! Put in for your leave now at work for the months of May/ June, because that's when it's all going down in Sin City!
Sitting down with Ellen, the Diva confirmed what most industry insiders already suspected was the next step in her illustrious career. I'm guessing if these 18 dates turn out to be successful, she'll probably pitch up for a longer stay (and more money). However, I don't see this being a long-term thing- à la Celine Dion- as Mariah still seems hungry for chart success and relevancy.
Get your tickets NOW!

Pharrell Puts Adele In The Same Vocal League As Mariah And Whitney!!! Is He Wrong, Though?
Pharrell Williams seems hell bent on getting a collaboration with British singer-songwriter Adele- run for you life, girl! How else do you explain him putting the Diva in the same vocal bracket as actual legends, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston?

Mariah Carey Gives Haters All They Want For Christmas With Questionable Vocals @ Rockefeller Center
I know we've gotten used to inconsistencies from Ms. Mariah Carey when it comes to the vocals delivered on any given night. But darn tooting, I was hoping the regimen of touring had whipped those pipes into a better shape than those with which she came to Christmas In Rockefeller Center with.

[Listen] Idina Menzel Covers Mariah Carey's "All I want For Christmas is You"
I don't think I'll ever get tired of Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas. In fact, I think I could stand to hear it all year round. (Something I'm sure Mariah's publisher would also want to see happening). Still, it takes a brave Diva to cover such an iconic song.
Enter The Snow Queen herself, Idina Menzel, who recorded the Christmas classic for her seasonal LP, Holiday Wishes.

Mariah Carey Covers Billie Holiday's "Don't Explain", Hints At Nick Cannon's Infidelity
Mariah Carey's on tour!
It only started a few days ago, but already Mariah is apparently spilling the Tea on her marriage. Covering Billie Holiday's Don't Explain in Japan, the Diva slipped in the line: "I know you cheated m**herf**er". It was done in such a way that I'm not sure if anyone in the audience even caught the dig.
Now I know that line isn't from the original Billie Holiday arrangement, so was Mariah taking a jab at her estranged husband, Nick Cannon? He has denied infidelity previously, thus it could be within the realms of possibility that the Diva was having a little fun with the song. However, that seems unlikely to me.
On a side note, some have emailed to ask why I haven't dragged Mariah for the vocals demonstrated thus far on the tour? The simple reason is, I'm not going to kick someone when they're already down.

[Watch] Mariah Carey Performs "Meteroite" @ The 2014 World Music Awards..Yawn
Meteorite is one of my jams from Me. I Am Mariah, so I was excited to hear the Diva was giving it a live bash at The 2014 World Music Awards. I was also a little confused- isn't You Don't Know What to Do her current single?- but whatever, we know this campaign is an assortment of random foolery. We have to live with that.
