Even Pitchfork likes it!

In a perfect world, the hashtag in the title of Mariah Carey's new single is not some ham-fisted wagon-jumping or Twitter trending strategy, but a sly wink. "#Beautiful", it turns out, is pretty much the anti-hashtag: it's an artfully simple pop tune built around warm, crackly arrangements that could've been written before Jack Dorsey was even born. It's free of gimmicks or anxiety, and the message is breezily uncomplicated. "You're beautiful, and I can't pretend that doesn't mean a thing to me," Carey sings alongside Miguel.

I despise Pitchfork, but it's amusing to see them praise a Mimi song!

ain't the video premiered on idol? i hope by that time this delicious magnus opus has already climbed to #1 just to witness nicki minaj's grim facial expression of defeat. it should teach her a lesson for being rude and disrespectful to the ultimate diva and billboard living legend - 18 number ones AND STILL COUNTING :drama:

From Perez:

xcellent!
After all the feuding and fighting that has plagued American Idol this season, this will be a much-needed reprieve from the madness!
We've already gotten a taste of Mariah Carey's new single with Miguel, #Beautiful, and now, news has surfaced that its music video will be premiering IN FULL on her reality competition this coming Wednesday, May 8th!
YES! We cannot wait!
Furthermore, the diva, who has also reportedly split from her manager/co-Idol-judge Randy Jackson due to busy schedules in lieu of the Red Light agency, will have her still-untitled new album ready for release sometime between June 25th and July 7th!
Sources reveal that the majority of her new tune-age is in the same vein as #Beautiful, with more of a focus on vocals and less of a hip-hop influence than some of her more recent material!
This album could very well be the SMASH of the summer!
And it couldn't come at a better time! We're in DIRE need of Mimi's otherworldly vocal prowess!
What do U think?? Are U excited to see #Beautiful??

a sign she's about to experience yet another major comeback, i think. i just love the fact she's making such top quality music some 23 years into her career. we've always been praising madge for having an ear for current trends, but truth be said, mimi has nailed it this time around. her skills as a music writer/producer are often snubbed but girl knows how to craft a tune, that's for sure.

it's incredibly amusing bey's been desperately looking for a comeback hit for the past half year even though having the nerve to start promo with no music to accompany it. meanwhile, mimi just brought a killer song out of the water and is about to embark on a third coming in a matter of days. now that's how true world-conquering divas act like.

Oh the irony. Profoundly talentless trainwreck has over twice as many pages as one of the greatest vocalists in pop history. Scarlet for this board.
