Rodney Jerkins aka Darkchild talks working on Mariah's new album

Extract from an interview with The Source:

Q: What upcoming projects can you share? Are you working with Britney Spears? Mariah Carey?

RJ: I was working with Britney actually at the end of the year.  She had me come on X-Factor show and do something with her, so we’ll see what happens if we get a chance to work together.  I am working with Mariah, I am working with Jennifer Lopez.  I just finished a couple songs with Jessie J over in London and I also wrote a couple of songs that are being considered for Rihanna’s new album, so there’s a lot of good stuff happening so we’ll see…I’m always busy, but it’s all good, never too busy for my baby.

Q: Can you speak about working with Mariah Carey in the studio on her upcoming album?

RJ: Yeah, Mariah’s great.  We had a chance to write together and it was really cool.  She’s a pro, she’s a real pro and relatable, too.  She has two children, two beautiful kids and we got a chance to really get to know her and Nick and the kids doing this project and they just bring that class act family and you know it’s good to have friends like that.

Mariah Carey 's #Beautiful feat. Miguel debuts at #24 on Billboard's Hot 100

The Hot 100's highest debut belongs to Mariah Carey's "#Beautiful," featuring Miguel, which begins at No. 24. The track launched on Hot 100 Airplay at No. 44 last week with 31 million impressions after just two days of airplay, aided heavily on its first day (May 6) by coordinated airplay on Clear Channel Media and Entertainment stations. This week, with that hefty first day of spins now in the previous tracking period, "#Beautiful" maintains its No. 44 Hot 100 Airplay rank and 31 million in audience (up less than 1%). Following its first full week of sales, it enters Hot Digital Songs at No. 10 (114,000), marking her eighth top 10 on the tally and first since "Obsessed" reached No. 6 in 2009. "#Beautiful" falls shy of the Streaming Songs chart with 461,000 first-week streams.

The lead single from Carey's forthcoming 13th studio album charges 32-7 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and 16-2 on R&B Songs and debuts at No. 1 on R&B Digital Songs.

Mariah Carey Planning a World Tour

On the heels of her buzzed-about new single with Miguel, "#Beautiful," a source tells Us Weekly that the singer is in the midst of planning a brand new world tour.

"Due to the smash success of '#Beautiful,'" fans are clamoring as Mariah makes plans for a world tour," the source explains to Us. So far, "#Beautiful" has hit number one in 25 countries and the top five in 45. (note: on iTunes)

The tour would be the Grammy winner's first global trek since 2004 (note: 2003), when she was on her Charmbracelet world tour. In 2010, she jet-set on her Angels Advocate tour, where she performed in the U.S., Egypt, Brazil and Singapore.

Mariah Carey Will Sing Medley of Hits on “American Idol” Finale ?

Mariah Carey will sing a medley of her hits– and there are a lot of them– on the season finale of “American Idol” on May 16th. Carey hasn’t performed on “Idol” this season yet. But she will debut her new single featuring Miguel, called “#Beautiful,” on Wednesday’s “Idol” May 8th. The single is already a huge hit after just a day or more in release. “Beautiful” was picked up 65 Top 40 stations and a bunch more today. You can hear it literally in every major market right now, which means by the “Idol” finale “Beautiful” may be another Mariah Carey number 1 song.

Mike Will, new producer announced for Mariah's upcoming album !

Multi-platinum global superstar Mariah Carey caps her season on FOX’s American Idol with today’s world­wide launch of her new single, “#Beautiful” featuring Miguel.  “#Beautiful” was written and produced by Mariah and Miguel, and is the lead track from Mariah’s much-anticipated new album, due for release this summer on Island Def Jam.

Global liftoff of “#Beautiful” on radio and the Internet takes place today, May 6th at 7:00 a.m. ET.  “#Beautiful” is live on all streaming services and is available at iTunes now: http://smarturl.it/iBeautiful

On Wednesday night, May 8th, American Idol will premiere the entire “#Beautiful” video, shot by noted director Joseph Kahn. Following American Idol, the video goes up on VEVO/YouTube and all video channels - BET’s 106th & Park (“New Joint”), MTV, VH1 and FUSE.

As Mariah recently told Billboard, her new album ‘has more raw ballads than people might expect,’ and producers including Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox, Big Jim Wright, Hit-Boy, Mike Will, The-Dream, and Rodney Jerkins. The new album is the follow-up to her worldwide multi-million-selling Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel (released September 2009).

Mariah Carey is the best-selling female artist of all time with more than 200 million albums sold to date. She has a total of 223 #1 records across all Billboard singles, albums, sales, and airplay charts, dating back to her “Vision Of Love” debut, including 18 Billboard #1 Hot 100 singles (17 self-penned). With her distinct five-octave vocal range, prolific songwriting, and producing talent, Carey has defined the modern pop performance. As a singer/songwriter/ producer, she has been recognized with five GRAMMY® Awards, nine American Music Awards, Billboard's Artist of the Decade Award, the World Music Award for World's Best Selling Female Artist of the Millennium, and BMI's Icon Award for her outstanding achievements in songwriting, to name a few.

Exclusive Interview With Mariah Carey
Five-time GRAMMY winner discusses her latest single "#Beautiful" featuring Miguel
 
 

On May 6 five-time GRAMMY winner Mariah Carey released "#Beautiful" featuring fellow GRAMMY winner Miguel, the lead track from her forthcoming album due later this year. Prior to the single's release, Carey participated in an exclusive interview with GRAMMY.com on the set of "American Idol" to discuss "#Beautiful" and collaborating with Miguel.

"The best part of making music, for me, is collaborating and working with new people and fresh sounds and all those things that gets people excited to continue in this business that we all love so much," said Carey. "The feedback that's been coming to us is astonishing. I feel like this is the first record I've ever released."

Considered the best-selling female artist to emerge in the '90s, Huntington, N.Y., native Carey rose to stardom on the strength of her five-octave range. Carey released her self-titled debut album in 1990, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and spawned four No. 1 singles and earned her two GRAMMY Awards for Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female for "Vision Of Love."

Carey has released more than 15 Top 10 albums, including Daydream (1995) and The Emancipation Of Mimi (2005), both of which peaked at No. 1 and earned GRAMMY nominations for Album Of The Year. With the release of 2008's E=MC2, Carey scored her 18th No. 1 hit with "Touch My Body," placing her second to the Beatles for the most chart-topping singles. Carey's most recent studio album, 2009's Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel, climbed to No. 3 and featured the Top 10 hit "Obsessed."

Co-produced and co-written by Carey and Miguel, "#Beautiful" will be featured on Carey's 13th studio album, which is due in summer 2013 and features production from GRAMMY winners The-Dream, Jermaine Dupri, Hit-Boy, and Rodney Jerkins, among others. The video for "#Beautiful" will premiere May 8 on "American Idol," on which Carey is currently a judge.

Mariah Carey Talks ‘#Beautiful,’ Working With ‘Idol’ Girls on New Album

The wait for Mariah Carey‘s highly anticipated track with Miguel, “#Beautiful,” is officially over.

The singer and American Idol judge phoned in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest to chat about the hot new single and working with the Grammy-winning crooner, as well as how she used Idol finalists Candice, Kree, and Angie’s vocals as backup on another new track!

As for Miguel, Mariah says: “I’m a huge fan of his music and I think everybody is so blown away by him right now … We got together, he had starting writing this song with just the guitar riff… and I have to say this about him as a collaborator, sometimes when you haven’t worked with somebody you don’t know really what they do in the studio …and if they have the same kind of love for music that I have … and he’s the truth. We just wanted to do something different that has a texture that feels fresh.”

So how does Mariah’s hit-making process work?

“It depends on who I’m working with, but were talking if I go to ATL [Atlanta] and go to Southside studio to Jermaine Dupri, who I wrote ‘Always Be My Baby’ with…he literally has a club in his studio and a basketball court…let’s say I’m working with Jermaine, we may have an inspiration like, ‘This beat would be interesting’ or a throwback to this moment he will often say like, when I revealed ‘Touch My Body’ I wrote that with The-Dream, and Jermaine said, ‘I think we should go with that verse.’ And he was right because it went and was a nice hit.”

Mariah also revealed the wait for her album won’t be too long either. “Probably we’re talking about earlier than mid-summer, which is a lot of pressure on me because I want these last few records to be just as good as the first records I started.”

And she will have some special guest on her upcoming album, including the Idol finalists she’s been mentoring. “I was in the studio with Candice, Kree, and Angie last night because selfishly, I wanted to get some background vocals from them on another record as I did my mentoring moment…and just give them a glimpse…I said, ‘I’m wearing a totally different hat right now, this is me the producer, that goes quickly through the part but we have to be precise,’ but the girls only had a couple hours and I didn’t want to push them, but it was a great experience…so they did [backup] for a different song which I will not reveal the title yet.”

Speaking of Idol, Mariah will premiere the music video for “#Beautiful” on the show this coming Wednesday. The singer describes the video as “the antithesis of the person you see on American Idol … I was multitasking by editing the final bits with my editor and the girls got to see a bit of that and talk about how important it is to maintain some creative control from the beginning of your career … because a lot of artists think ‘I’m not allowed to do this. I’m not allowed to do that.’ It wasn’t until later … it’s not like I first started and got my record deal as a teenage girl and I think I can boss people around and be like, ‘Hey, wait I’m coming to fix that video!’ I didn’t even know about lighting darling, I didn’t even know we didn’t like bad lighting.”

Along with celebrating the release of a new single, Mariah also celebrated her fifth wedding anniversary with husband Nick Cannon at Disneyland, where they sealed the night with a kiss as fireworks went off. So how did they time that perfectly? Mariah joked: “Actually it just happened, nobody planned it. I think in Disneyland it just magically occurs.”

Mariah Carey Negotiating for Big “American Idol” Finale Performance ?

It’s not completely a done deal, but I’m told this will happen: Mariah Carey will perform on the “American Idol” finale on May 16th. She will sing her brand new single called “#Beautiful.” (That’s  hashtag, if you were wondering.) I told you last night exclusively that Mariah’s video of “#Beautiful” will debut on this Wednesday’s “Idol.”

One thing still not certain: who will sing it with her? Miguel, who performs the duet on the single, is on tour and may not be able to do it. He’s got to be in Liverpool, England two days later to open for Alicia Keys. Sources say something very cool is in the works. (Nick Cannon, maybe? Nicki Minaj? Stay tuned.)

It does seem like with falling ratings and re-considerations, Mariah and “Idol” are making up instead of breaking up. Isn’t that swell? I do hope when she performs”#Beautiful” on “Idol,” Mariah sings a slightly longer version than the one being released this Monday to radio stations at 7am. It’s a great song and deserves a big finale. Carey will jump from the “Idol” finale to a special appearance on “Good Morning America” just eight days later on May 24th.

Did I tell you yesterday that “#Beautiful” reminds me of “Dreamlover,” Mariah’s 1993 smash? It’s got that feel. It’s also got a cool retro vibe. There’s some static in the background and it sounds like a record — a 45 rpm record– is playing.

Mariah Carey Exclusives: New Video Will Debut on “Idol,” New Album Coming, New Manager Hired

Mariah Carey runs to the rescue of “American Idol.” With ratings precariously low, and “The Voice” playing directly against it next Wednesday, “American Idol” needed something to give it a boost. That brings Mariah to the story. She’ll debut the new video for her new song, “Beautiful,” on the show on May 8th. “Beautiful” is a mid tempo pop song with an usually catchy and sophisticated melody. It’s co-written, sung and produced by newish sensation Miguel. I’ve heard “Beautiful” and it’s a hit. A real hit that fans will sing along with.

The rather short–about 3 minutes, 3 seconds– single opens with Miguel singing to an acoustic guitar. After the first verse and chorus, Mariah makes a spine-tingling entrance. I am told her album, still unnamed, is just in this vein– lots of great singing, very little singing, no hip hop, all songs with a capital S. My only peeve about “Beautiful” is that it’s too short– I think the album version should be longer.

And the album– it’s coming sometime between June 25th and July 7th, my sources say. First Island DefJam has to launch Kanye West’s new album, recorded in Paris, on June 18th. That’s confirmed also, but no title has been given. It should be called “Keeping Up with the Kardashians– Literally.”

And here’s another scoop: while we were sleeping, Mariah changed managers. She and Randy Jackson decided their schedules were too hectic. So Carey has signed with Red Light, the same place Steven Tyler just joined. Red Light is the brainchild of Corin Capshaw, the mastermind behind Dave Matthews. It’s a hot hot agency.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon Renew Their Vows – at Disneyland

It was a storybook 5th anniversary – and happy 2nd birthday treat for their twins – as Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon renewed their vows at the Happiest Place on Earth, California's Disneyland, on Tuesday night.

All dressed up in matching prince and princess costumes, Carey and daughter Monroe were picked up in a horse-drawn Crystal Carriage from a Dream Suite inside the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, then taken to Main Street to meet Cannon and son Moroccan. Together the family proceeded to Sleeping Beauty Castle, for the vow renewals.

"Do you believe in fairy tales?" was the theme for the ceremony – which concluded with fireworks over the castle spires, a pyrotechnic display that reportedly came as a total surprise to Carey and the couple's 250 guests.

What followed was a reception in Fantasyland, deejayed by Cannon and accented by 15,000 flowers imported from South Africa, Holland and France and 10,000 crystals. Plus, guests enjoyed access to the Matterhorn Bobsleds, Peter Pan's Flight, Snow White's Adventures and the King Arthur Carousel, all of which were kept running.

Before the renewal of the vows, Moroccan and Monroe celebrated their birthdays with yet another famous couple: Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

Mariah vs. Idol: Carey Books “GMA” to Launch New Single, Not “American Idol”

Do I know what’s going on at “American Idol”? I know what you know. But I also know what was said today. Mariah Carey, “American Idol” judge, is launching her new single not on the “Idol” finale but on “Good Morning America.” She’s booked for May 24th, eight days after the “Idol” finale. Carey is not scheduled to sing on “Idol” and she hasn’t all season.

Both Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez used “Idol” to launch singles a year ago. And Keith Urban has performed this season. But Carey has remained behind the judges’ desk, even though she has a single– “Almost Home”– from “Oz the Great and Powerful,” a major box office hit. Suffice to say, something is rotten in Hollywood. “Oz” was a huge hit. Singing the single on “Idol” would have been the proper synergy. Instead, “Home” disappeared and no mention of it was made on “Idol.”

Carey’s new single is going to be hot, too–it’s a duet with new star Miguel. But there’s a lot going on in the background. “GMA” is #1, and “Idol” ratings are the lowest they’ve ever been. It’s unclear whether “Idol” producer Nigel Lythgoe even wants Carey to perform. Or whether Carey, unhappy with the way the show has gone for her, would ever deign to get up on their stage.

Now “American Idol” still has four weeks to go, that’s eight shows. And on May 8th it goes up against “The Voice” on NBC– the ratings report the next morning is going to be wild. So stay tuned. And never bet against Mariah. She will be around long after “American Idol” has named its final winner.

Miguel Recalls When He 'Fell In Love' With Mariah Carey
But he won't tell MTV News whether rumors of their recent collaboration are true

Music fans might want to sit down for this: The rumor mill is spinning in overdrive that Miguel and Mariah Carey have cooked up some sweet R&B goodness for her in-the-works studio album.

Following the trail to how the rumor started takes a bit of sleuthing, and Miguel doesn't seem quite ready to elaborate. "Rumor mills? I don't know why fans would put that together. I don't know," he told MTV News on Tuesday at the Time 100 Gala.

The speculation has been fueled by tweets sent out by the parties involved. The origin of the rumor dates back to April 3, when Mariah tweeted about the R&B crooner's "SNL" appearance, sharing that she had recently run into him in the studio. Two weeks later, she tweeted she was mixing the album's lead track.

And then it all kicked into high gear Monday when sound mixer Fletcher Allison, who works for video director Joseph Kahn, wrote about being on set with the twosome in a now-deleted tweet. "Working on a Mariah Carey + Miguel video for the man Joseph Kahn," he wrote. "Wouldn't trade this for 1,000 Coachellas."

That same day, within a matter of 30 minutes, Kahn and Miguel each tweeted out messages that have some fans wondering if they are somehow related. While Kahn was excited by the cameo, he wouldn't confirm who it's from. "Lets do that again sometime. MOMENTS. So appreciative," the "Adorn" singer shared about, well, something.

And while fans are hyped to know the truth, Miguel won't confirm or deny the speculation anytime soon.

"I think it would sound beautiful. I think it's a great juxtaposition," he shared when asked what dream the collaboration between them would sound like.

He continued, "I mean I fell in love with Mariah Carey when she walked out of the pool in the 'Honey' video in 1997. That 'Honey' video, that was it. And I've had a huge crush on her ever since. And, so, if we ever do have a chance, you know all respect to Carey's husband Nick [Cannon], all love. I think I have a huge crush more on her as a musician, and I think it would be really great."

"Whatever happens with that show, I think Mariah had a great time.  She’s a global superstar. I don’t think she’s ever in need of a job.  She made a decision to do that show because she really wanted to connect with the contestants,  I don’t think she’s thinking about the future of it.  Mariah is focused on her new album, that album is crazy, it's not like other people who have only that show"

American Idol Source: No Truth to JLO Replacing Mariah
Sources connected to “American Idol” tell me there’s no truth to rumors that Jennifer Lopez was being wooed back to the show to replace Mariah Carey mid-season. “That would be the stupidest move in the history of television,” an Idol insider told me late tonight. “And it’s never been brought up, I’ve never heard of it. Someone planted that item before a live show to cause trouble.”

The story is in the online Hollywood Reporter. But on the face of it, it’s crazy. The story claims that Carey caught wind and threatened litigation. Not only that: the story says Lopez might perform on the show’s finale. I don’t think so. Carey and Lopez are not exactly bff’s. Lopez, working with Tommy Mottola after Carey left for EMI Records, helped instigate a dark time in Carey’s life.

The two have also at different times had the same manager, Benny Medina. There is no love lost there. Just not happening. For the record, off the record: Carly Rae Jepsen is on the finale. And Carey could perform, too.

Keep reading…More to come….

We all saw the hints, I didn't plan to post it, but after all it's out ....  this is a good summary (and at least I'll not be the one getting bashed !), also, my head is really not into music/video at the moment (thanks to the ones who showed love)

Now waiting for Mariah's tweet/info

Mariah Carey Enlists Miguel for New Song & Video?
Less than two weeks after praising Miguel for his pair of stunning performances on Saturday Night Live.

Carey first hinted that she had logged time with Miguel in the lab after boasting via Twitter about seeing him at the recording studio. Although she didn’t share any further details about the possible duet, she has since confirmed that the official lead single from her LP has been been mixed for its impending debut.

In the latest development, individuals close to the diva’s project have let it slip that new music is finally on the way. Carey’s makeup artists, Kristofer Buckle, stated that he had been on the set of an unnamed video shoot throughout the weekend while director Joseph Kahn followed shortly after with news that he just finished latest production. Carey’s close friend, media personality B. Scott, added that he was happy to meet Khan on the set.

However, direct proof was provided by sound mixer Fletcher Alliston, who clearly stated that he had been on the set of a Carey/Miguel shoot before removing the tweet.

And what did the supportive Mimi have to say to her after her elimination? "She was saying she was excited for my future and what's coming up for me," revealed the country singer. "She said, 'I'll see you on the road, girl.' It was sweet."

Little Mermaid moment 

We have to agree, submerged in a swimming pool with her dress swirling around her, she does look like the mythically beautiful creature.

'American Idol's Devin Velez: I wanted to tell Nicki Minaj, "Whoa, we still have feelings"

Nicki basically yelled at you guys to get off the stage. do you think she overreacted a little bit? Do you think the performance was really that bad?

- I agree with the first half of her critique, you know, when she said that it felt like it was Hollywood Week -- that it was a joke, that stuff like that shouldn't be happening, that she was going to pretend that she didn't hear it.
I agree with that. When she went crazy and was like, "Get off the stage!" blah, blah, blah, and it's just like, "Whoa Miss Minaj, I need you to calm down, please. We're still human. We still have feelings." She doesn't care sometimes

Viewers have noted that Nicki seemed especially aggressive and critical in her commentary. Do you think Nicki's behavior Wednesday night was a result of Jimmy's complaint -- that maybe she was purposely trying to be a little harder on you guys?

- I mean, Nicki Minaj is one of those characters where she has multiple personalities. She's her own person and it's weird because you never know what you're going to get with Nicki Minaj. She could've been upset because the night before she was wearing the same color dress as Mariah or that she wasn't on time, we never know.
When she gets to the exaggerative speaking where it's just like, "Ahhh, take it easy. You don't want to hurt someone else's feelings." But yeah, she is who she is.

Mariah was especially emotional, basically crying through your whole "sing for survival" performance. What was your relationship like with Mariah?

- You know, our time with the judges -- it's not much. It's a little bit during rehearsals and maybe backstage before we go on, but it's not like we get to sit down and talk.
But after I got voted off last night, I actually had a conversation with her and was hearing things like -- she was saying things that like she was so proud to see the artist that I'm becoming and that if nothing works out later on down the road, that she would love to contact me.
Hearing things like that from Mariah Carey, it's crazy because she is so huge, like it's crazy how big this woman is in the industry. And so hearing that was a little reassuring, and I'm a little more at peace just because if nothing happens, I know that I always have that to fall back on.

Did you get any advice from or have any similar conversations with Randy, Nicki and/or Keith following your elimination?

- Nicki might've had to step away earlier because I didn't get to say bye to her but Keith gave me a big old bear hug and he was just being Keith and I love him. He said that he was sad that I had to go and he said to keep going and that no matter what, we were still one of his idols -- that I was an idol in their eyes.
And Randy said the same thing that Mariah did, where if nothing happens, to contact him some time down the road just because I had true talent. So hearing that from such great people, it makes me feel good as an artist but also as a person. And so yeah, I enjoyed every moment of it last night.

I said it since the start ..... Nigel you tried to save a sinking ship but.....

Minaj is hated on the show... 
Minaj is unlikely to be asked back for season thirteen. Minaj has made headlines on the show for her battle with Mariah Carey, showing up late and more.

The insider notes, "The chances of Nicki returning to the show next season are slim to none, she is such a major headache with her behavior and it's really taxing on many people with the crew. So her behavior is wearing thin on many people this season."

The ratings haven't exactly made Minaj a must for producers either; the current season has been the lowest rated since the show's debut.

Mariah Carey invited to give masterclass at Oxford ?

Following in the footsteps of Michael Jackson, the Dalai Lama, Sir Winston Churchill and McFly, Mariah Carey has been invited to give a masterclass at Oxford University, we hear.
The American diva, 43, received the invitation to appear before the Oxford Union while she’s in the UK promoting her as-yet unnamed new album this summer.

A spokesperson for the star confirmed the invitation, adding: “We’re looking into what they want to learn from her.”

McFly’s Tom Fletcher lifted the lid on the band’s lecture to students last autumn saying: “It was a privilege to bless their library with our mildly amusing toilet humour.”

We have a feeling Mariah’s talk will be a little more upmarket...
