“Hello! I know I haven’t called you since 1802. Actually, I haven’t called anyone. I’ve been really, really busy and when I do get free time, I’m on vocal rest so I can like get back in the studio for 20 billion hours. So everybody’s mad at me but whatever (laughs). I did get a couple of days of vacation in Capri which was a stone groove and I was happy ’cause I hadn’t been there since I was recording a Mimi record like three years ago. So that was nice for me.

Anyway, I was just sitting here and I was looking into some fan books and like letters and stuff that I’ve gotten from you guys over the years and I was like, you know, reminiscing and just realizing how stellar you are and how funny. Some of you guys are stone comedians you do notice, right? (laughs). So funny you are and how happy you make me and I decided that I needed to give you a nice call to check in and tell you that everything is fantastic.

Let’s see what’s going on. I’m not allowed to talk about Tennessee because they want the performance to speak for itself and everything like that but that is obviously something that I’m excited about. What can I talk about? Let’s think. I’m very, very, very excited about, I have a fragrance came out. Remember I was telling that it was like I had so much fun you know working on it and stuff like that and so it’s really, I’m very looking forward to see how you guys like it, should be in stores by September and hopefully you like it as much as I do.

And yeah, last but not least, the nice songs that I’ve been working on, I quite enjoy them. I’ve written my 10th so far and like about…and I guess I’m going to Atlanta next week to work with JD so that should be a stone groove/hit wonder or at least a stone groove, hopefully (laughs). But that’s about it. I’m trying to get the record out this year so I’m gonna be holed up in the studio for the next few months and I will see you when I’m done. Also, there are bleakness ’cause my trainer is living with me and it’s bleak because I can’t eat anything good and she makes me workout after I’ve been in the studio for like 80 trillion hours but whatever. We love her, and we love everybody.

So I will check in again but please don’t take it personally if it’s like a little bit sporadic because it’s just because I’m working and I’m trying hard to get the nice album out by the end of this year. That is the goal. So I’m gonna wrap it up now but I love you as always. Love you, appreciate you, and I enjoy you and I will chat with you soon. Buh-bye!”

Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, old rivals in the pop music world, are racing to finish albums and release them this year. Carey looks like she’ll be the winner. According to my sources, she’s nearing the end of recording for a CD to follow up her mega-selling “Emancipation of Mimi“. Island/DefJam has set a November 20 release date.

Carey has been recording all over the world, including on her beloved Isle of Capri, where she was recently photographed cavorting on designer Roberto Cavalli’s yacht. In fact, she’s been working her ample posterior off, and has as many as eight finished tracks in the can, sources tell me. “She’s working with all different producers and writers,” a source said. “And she sounds great.”

Meanwhile, Houston is said to have two completed tracks finished and is getting ready for a third. Her album still has no name or release date, but all systems continue to be “go” according to insiders. The big news about Whitney is that she may be ready to quit living in Los Angeles, where she’s been for more than a year while kicking drugs and starting her life over.
The talk now is that this fall, Houston will resume living in Atlanta, the place where she had many painful experiences during her turbulent marriage to Bobby Brown.

Thanks to MC Archives for this update.

On Friday, July 13 Mahogany posted the unreleased Mariah Carey song “I Feel It” as an exclusive download on his MySpace page.

Alexis wrote about the song: “I can see how this track didn’t make TEOM. The chorus is not as catchy or as developed as the other tunes on the record. Also, TEOM had a balance of power vocals and softer tunes, this middle-of-the-road record could have leaned the album too far towards the latter.”download “I Feel It”…
