A Good Year for Mariah Fans

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it before, but my favorite female singer is Mariah Carey. I have been a devoted fan since the 90’s, through good times and the bad, and I am always happy to hear goods news about her.

Well it looks like 2005 is a great year for Mariah fans. Sony (her old label) is releasing a new version of her 5x platinum Merry Christmas CD 11 years later.

Along with the original 10 tracks, there is a 2005 Jermaine Dupri remix of “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town” and the track “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.” In addition, there will be a DVD with 8 music videos, including a claymation (animated with clay) version of the remixed “Santa Claus…” song.

But wait…there’s more. The Emancipation of Mimi is going to be re-released with more tracks on it. One of them is “Don’t Forget About Us” which is going to be the 4th single off the album. I haven’t heard it, but apparently it’s amazing and described as being the next huge “We Belong Together” There will also be a new song with Twista called “So Lonely”, which is also on Twist’s new CD . In addition, there will be remixes of “We Belong Together” and “Shake It Off”. And yes, there is even more. There will be music videos for “It’s Like That, We Belong Together, Shake It Off, and Get Your Number” (which will be her 3rd single).

It looks like 2005 will continue to be a huge year for Mariah. Aside from her massive success, she is releasing multiple CD’s with new tracks, new remixes, and music videos. It’s nice to see she’s giving fans what they want, I wish more singers would release things like this.

Like Mariah says, “It isn’t a comeback, I never went away.”

The new edition of Emancipation will be out on November 15th (just in time for my birthday) and Merry Christmas will be out on October 25th.

This is the video listing for the Christmas DVD:

1. Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town
2. All I Want For Christmas Is You
3. Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)
4. All I Want For Christmas Is You
5. Joy To The World
6. O Holy Night
7. All I Want For Christmas Is You
8. Joy To The World

UPDATE: I’ve heard the new song “Don’t Forget About Us” and I agree, it really is comparable to “We Belong Together”. If this doesn’t go to #1, I will be very surprised. I also heard her new song with Twista. I don’t like it when Mariah does that heavy breathing, whisper voice. She has the power to sing, so she should use it. She was mainly just background for this song. I understand it’s that way because this was actually recorded for Twista’s CD. But I think she should have added her own vocals for her version.

How did I hear the songs early? A simple Google search will lead the way
