New Music Thursday: Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey released a new song last Monday called "Beautiful".

At first I was not that impressed, but I have to say it has grown on me.

Tonight she sang a collaboration of her greatest hits and her new song on the finale of American Idol.

However, the video for this song was a turn off, but her song will still make it onto my summer playlist.

Mariah's performance on tonight's finale was ah-mazing! The girl can definitely hit those high notes and I especially loved her dress!

Spoiler Alert!

The winner of season 12 of American Idol is...

Candice Glover

I will admit that I have not followed this season, or any season really, but I have watched the past couple of weeks and Candice, in my opinion, had the better vocal performance of the two. 

She also performed a duet with Jennifer Hudson tonight on the finale and the girl proved she can sing with the pros.
