"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. The story will detail Carey's journey from her childhood all the way through her meteoric rise to superstardom, plus a breakdown of the rumors told about her in the media, including battles with gender and power dynamics, emotional abuse, embarrassments, failures and victories. www.billboard.com/amp/articles/columns/pop/9415524/mariah-carey-memoir-announcementBillboard and that fcking picture. They really can’t find another photo?

Not buying this because of the Andy Cohen deal.

Not buying this because of the Andy Cohen deal. That's unfortunate. Like BMAC fam, I will be reading along as her husky voice entrances me. I would normally not spend double the money, but...it just makes sense.

Weird that it's #3 among new releases but only #6 among memoirs. What old memoirs are outselling new releases?

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? "Mariah" is a persona, a nickname of sorts. "Mariah Carey" is a full person.

Is it a coincidence that Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel came out September 29th as well.
Btw this cover and picture is more visually appealing!

While I prefer the fan photo, I find it revolting fans feel a need to tell Mariah would she should do and then also include rolled eyes and such. It's Mariah Damn Carey! She can do what she wants.

The fan cover just looks like a generic memoir which is I guess what some people wanted.. I don’t love the official cover but it’s definitely very Mariah. I prefer Mariah doing what she wants at this stage of her career rather than trying to appease as many people as possible.. she spent over 20 years worrying about that.

Onwards and upwards, let’s focus on what’s really important here...her story. I’m super curious to hear about her childhood. And the events with Sony/Motorola. I hope she didn’t hold back. I have a feeling she didn’t.

Isn't that a cell phone?lol Anyway, I would be more concerned if the memoir isn't good and doesn't address a lot of things that people have been wondering about for years. If fans like the memoir, they will forget about how much they dislike the cover.

Covah schmuvah, I only care about the words of muva. Pre-order secured, with hardcover copy arriving on release date. There's actually an Amazon book store in my apartment complex, but...by the time September comes, who knows if it will still be open.

Was it JLo? The interviewer says "Johnnie Cochran, that's why SHE is here". I know Cochran was Sean Diddy Combs lawyer during the time of that Mariah interview (I think). And Diddy was dating Jlo at that time.

LOL you could see the interviewer and Mariah were both like "get me tf outta here". Interesting though that Mariah actually looked up to the interviewer after she said that like she was insecure and felt bad for saying it, but the interviewer didn't notice and wanted to bolt.

Welp, just pre-ordered her book on Amazon. I cannot wait! Off topic but I’m reading Michelle Obama’s memoir and I’m hooked.

I'd never seen that nightie red carpet photo before. And she's holding her award and smiling like it's any other Tuesday. LEGEND.

It will be interesting to see who she discusses in her Memoir and who she doesn’t. With someone like Mariah, it is equally as telling if we know you were a major player in her life and she pays you dust.
