I don’t really think there is anything that she could write about that would hurt her image. People enjoy dragging her when they can get away with it. Having said that, I expect most of her dragging to be of others. I’m sure she will throw some things in there about her personal failings, so she can point out she dragged herself too. Mariah has never been one to push the envelope, so I don’t expect her to attempt to shake things up with her memoir. I will say Andy probably wouldn’t publish it if it didn’t have some good revelations. I think the most you will get about her voice is akin to the interview she gave during her Rainbow days.

It would be dope if she released an EP along with the memoir.

Sooo umm how are we feeling about the title and cover?
I sorta like the title and I don’t like the cover. It left me underwhelmed. Doesn’t scream memoir to me. I wanted something more stripped down. But of course, I’m still getting it and I’m super excited to read it.

The title is ok, it doesn’t necessarily give anything away about what the memoir might entail. I like everything but her facial expression in the picture. It is awkward. I wish she were smiling in the picture.

The cover and title are both very Mariah to me.

But of course, I’m still getting it and I’m super excited to read it. Don't really like either. The more I look at that shot they chose for the cover the more it's annoying me that she's grabbing her hair (which she does a lot normally, but still). I would've liked a more toned down, casual look in general, but it is what it is, the content is all that matters. I hope she hasn't held back a lot.

I would love to know more about her label situation post-Mottola marriage. Like more stuff that was really going on.

Out of all the photos I've seen from that photoshoot, she managed to pick the least flattering for the book cover. Lol

I like the title, the cover could definitely be improved, but it's growing on me.

I think I know what it is about the cover that makes me indifferent it reminds me of Charmbracelet which is my least favorite album of hers. I wonder if that was the originally intended book cover art or if because of Covid and deadlines she decided to nix the idea of a new image for the cover and recycle from that photo shoot?

The title could’ve gone without “Carey”, since the actual start of the book will probably be the meaning of “Mariah”. The picture isn’t great. But the audible option sounds amazing. Is that common with other musical biographies?

The cover is giving me SLAYDREAM lost gaze and the open hand is an hommage to the iconic hand movements. Love it.

Is that common with other musical biographies? Jessica Simpson included a few songs to her audiobook. I am not going to lie I am not even 50 percent done with her audio book. Alicia keys had celebrity guest on hers but I don’t believe she had music playing while she read.

"The Meaning of Mariah Carey, written by the chanteuse with Michaela Angela Davis will be arriving on September 29, 2020. The memoir will be available as a physical copy via Andy Cohen Books and as an audiobook performed by the singer on Audible.
