it's that chick they like

I swore that I would never make entries of this nature but what the heck. I used to be a huge fan of Mariah Carey. Don't get me wrong, I still am although not in the same intensity as it used to be.

I know that this will really sound cliche but I don't care. Mariah's music has always been my refuge. No, I'm not specifically talking about "Hero". Or "Can't Take That Away". Thank you very much.

You know those instances in which you wished that there was some background music being played which is appropriate with the scene you are in? No?

Anyway, the point is, I've used songs from her entire catalog to act as that background music at various points in my life. Just recently, "Don't Forget About Us" was the song I've empathized with (among others) during my silent farewell. And the track I've put on repeat while I was on the bus heading to Paranaque that one December night, "We Belong Together". "Through The Rain" was my mantra four years ago. And right now, "Breakdown" is included in my "When It Was Me" playlist (the one that I play when I'm heading for home. Don't ask for the rest of the songs in there).

Oh, and whenever I'm going down a staircase, the opening notes of "It's Like That" is hummed in my head. ^^ God, this is so gay.

So let's not dwell on all these Mariahisms, alright?

After the successful return of The Voice in The Emancipation Of Mimi, Mariah will release a new album on April 1, surprisingly titled, "That Chick". And yes, only Mariah can pull that off. Remember Butterfly? Rainbow? Charmbracelet?



So far, all the reviews based on the pre-release listening parties have been good. But honestly, I'm a bit scared of how the world will embrace her risque move. I'm not doubting her talent or her capability to deliver. But nowadays, it doesn't matter if you're music is bloody fantastic. One wrong move and everything will just spiral down. I would really hate another Glitter reception.

But it's a good thing that MiiMoo's on Perez Hilton's good side.

POSTSCRIPT. Five more hours till the new Mariah. Touch My Body. 5 AM.

POSTCRIPT, POSTCRIPT. Apparently, the new album will now be titled as "E=MC²" (that's square y'all!). Talk about a 180, from girly to geeky. I've heard "Touch My Body" and my review will be up later'ish.

But looks like Perez Hilton ain't too happy with it. But who the hell cares about what he thinks!
