Here is Mariah Carey's new single, "Triumphant (Get 'em)". Haven't been hearing enthusiastic reactions from people who like or love Mariah—of which I am not one (hence the totally biased title)—but what do YOU think?

And what about the artwork?

And do you think she will spice up American Idol? I must admit I'd be scared shitless to sing in front of a real singer like her and yet, as someone who's never sung, I wouldn't sweat it if I had to warble for the likes of Paula Abdul or Britney Spears.

Steve Jones has been Brian Dunklemanned from The X Factor after a season, along with Nicole Scherzinger. Paula Abdul up and quit.

The announcement of Ellen DeGeneres as Paula Abdul's replacement has "divided Idol fans." Really? Come on, people—just because Ellen's not a musician? Neither was Paula Abdul and you liked her fine.
