Excellent!


After all the feuding and fighting that has plagued American Idol this season, this will be a much-needed reprieve from the madness!


We’ve already gotten a taste of Mariah Carey‘s new single with Miguel, #Beautiful, and now, news has surfaced that its music video will be premiering IN FULL on her reality competition this coming Wednesday, May 8th!


YES! We cannot wait!


Furthermore, the diva, who has also reportedly split from her manager/co-Idol-judge Randy Jackson due to busy schedules in lieu of the Red Light agency, will have her still-untitled new album ready for release sometime between June 25th and July 7th!


Sources reveal that the majority of her new tune-age is in the same vein as #Beautiful, with more of a focus on vocals and less of a hip-hop influence than some of her more recent material!


This album could very well be the SMASH of the summer!


And it couldn’t come at a better time! We’re in DIRE need of Mimi’s otherworldly vocal prowess!


What do U think?? Are U excited to see #Beautiful??
