Mariah Builds Excitement; Ellen on Idol

A big change is coming to American Idol (basically the only Idol show that Singaporeans bother to watch). If you didn't catch the news, scroll down pass Mariah to look at the Ellen video =)

For the first time, here is a cover-art of Mariah's music I'm not embarrassed to display (well, as you guys know, her previous album-arts are of her in infamously skimpy clothing).

But the point to make here is this: there is no ignoring the talent of Mariah Carey and her music, and I Want To Know What Love Is - a cover of Foreigner's 1980's hit - will prove that she's not just some narcissistic individual who likes to flaunt her figure.

The cover-art is decidedly toned-down, and aptly hints the style of the 1980's (which is the era the original song came from).

I've had the privilege of listening to the untarnished version on Youtube (thanks to Wei Long), before the website's management decided to tweak every single video of the song - which contains the original audio - to make it sound like Mariah has gone a pitch higher.

Go here -> http://mariahcarey.com/ to listen to the single-stream. Entertainment Weekly gives the best-worded review of the song: "Mariah + Gospel Choir + I Want To Know What Love Is = ECSTASY".

Mariah Carey's 12th and latest studio album "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" will hit stores on 29th September 2009.

Watch this! If you haven't heard:

The weekend is filled with 3 birthdays! Wow. September is really a birthday-galore, man.

If I'm not wrong - and hopefully, I'm not - it's going to get real busy soon!

Take care, people!
