^What's a solid start? It's only been out a day. ![](http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0244.gif) The first-day airplay is less than "Triumphant," but can't really gauge anything by that. As said, this will have the movie to give it an extra nudge it would not have otherwise. Not that the movie tie-in will result in a smash, but it doesn't hurt.

By "solid start" I meant that the initial reaction from fans and reviewers upon hearing it is more positive than any single she has released since WBT.

It looks like "AH" fell a bit on iTunes, but I'm sure it's way too early to judge the song's performance on iTunes. I just hope that this song has some promo planned soon because it'd be a shame if the song lost momentum.

This song absolutely and undeniably SHITS on ALL of her other "inspirational" songs. The only song potentially in its way is "Outside" but other than that, yeah, I'm down.

If anything Mariah's comments seem scrambled and Nicki's seem straight to the point. I do love that Mariah is exuding much more personality though, and her critiques are great - just a bit jumbled and scrambled.

Mariah seems to be loosening up a bit more on Idol. It's great.

"Anytime You Need A Friend"? "Hero" (which I don't like, but the rest of the world does)? "Can't Take That Away"? "When You Believe"? Don't get me wrong...I think it's a really solid vocal delivery for a minute and a half, but I don't think it eclipses any of her greats.

Almost Home is getting great reviews and that alone is a nice start to a new era... The song itself is excellent and should smash... Will it? who knows but with the movie, Idol, the video, and Im sure shell perform this somewhere (AI) Lets just hope the general public loves it, they did play it on Radio Disney, My boss told me she heard it in the car on the way to work. So somewhere is playing it besides all of us lol

Mariah was scrambled, but was one of the only ones to give actual vocal critiques. Mariah has appeared so controlled that the rambling was endearing. You could tell what she was saying was real, and not some PR drivel (Steven Tyler). Mariah off the rails can sometimes problematic, but it's always beautiful to watch. I loved her tonight

I love Almost Home. It sounds current and her voice is amazing in it. Hoping for an album similar to that.

Mimi was rambling at times, but I enjoyed it. I also liked when she was mouthing the words to "Ain't No Way" and doing her hand gestures.

Don't get me wrong...I think it's a really solid vocal delivery for a minute and a half, but I don't think it eclipses any of her greats. I'll give you AYNAF which I forgot about but I was NEVER a Hero or a When You Believe fan (outside of initial stan reaction). CTTA is meh. Almost Home just hits hard for me, especially THAT ending.

From the bridge on, I love it. That kind of epicness is classic Mariah. Empire State of Mind epicness. I'd love an Urban mix with that second to last chorus with some back ups as the regular chorus and then chorus at the end staying where it is.

In the interview with Ryan she said that she's working hard on the album. She hasn't been in the studio with Randy in months and apparently he hasn't even heard what she has worked on so far. She mentioned that she has collaborated with different people in secret locations. Ryan asked her when it's coming out and she replied: "ASAP!"

"Almost Home" is so bomb. She should work with Stargate more, they mesh well.

No wonder she looked good last night. Pat (her French trainer from '03 and '08) is unofficially back. She's "eating morsels" and doing "aqua aerobics."
Also, regarding her album: Mariah said she wants it out ASAP (followed by laughter) and Randy told Ryan ASAP means next year. Mariah laughed and said Randy hasn't been in the studio with her for a while. I'm guessing it's somewhere in between (she's come up with a few hot tracks he doesn't know about, and Randy is just being realistic given how long it's taken her). Fourth quarter release?

I'll never take "ASAP"/"soon," etc. seriously from her. If Randy says 2014 and Mariah says soon, then the window is like September 2013-March 2014, haha.
