Mariah Carey Announces “All I Want For Valentine’s Day” Contest / Winner To Get Private Concert In Singer’s Home

Published: Monday 13th Jan 2014 by Rashad

Lambs found themselves whipped to frenzy Friday when their leader Mariah Carey unveiled news of a “special announcement” due today. Yes, many immediately assumed the diva would be lifting the lid on her newest single (which she revealed last December would debut on Valentine’s Day 2014), while others hoped for a glimpse of album artwork, news of collaborators, etc.

However, they were in for quite the shock when Carey took to Instagram to share what the announcement really was.  After sharing a few cryptic messages aboard her Twitter timeline, the ‘Breakdown‘ beauty finally broke her silence moments ago.

Tuck in below for details:

Mariah uploaded the pic with the caption:

“For the nostalgia, in the spirit of giving, “All I Want For Valentine’s Day” is to literally give you my heart and hopefully help people along the way. For just a small donation to St Jude’s, in addition to a private concert in my home, you could win my vintage heart-shaped diamonds and rubies necklace as seen in my early videos like “Love Takes Time,” “Emotions,” “I’ll Be There” from MTV Unplugged and even when I won my first Grammys including Best New Artist (disclaimer..in retrospect, the necklace does not match the ensemble.. but hey, what are you gonna do?  LYM!!! New single launching everywhere in February!!

    Private concert in your home? Will you be drunk and struggling through your 90s hits? Good cause though. 🙂

  2. cierror January 13, 2014

  3. Skyfall January 13, 2014

    This is amazing, especially given away something so special to a fan just
    Goes to show how much Mariah truly appreciates her fans. And if here concer sounds
    Engaging like this I know they’ll enjoy every minute

  4. Skyfall January 13, 2014

    But I bet it would be nerve wracking to be the only person there and have Mariah
    Sing to you

  5. Look January 13, 2014

    B**** just wanted to show off her awards SMH

  6. HONEYCHILDPLEASE January 13, 2014

    Kiii Mariah yassss daaaahhhllling, Giving me slumpy Miss.Piggy I’m hungry feed a dinner plate t’s. Now Mariah is a legend the the albino p** is too ancient for the barn. She should retire like the arthritis in her knees. Her hip went out when her voice strungged. It’s to for the retirement home you prized pork 🙂

  7. MC!!! January 13, 2014

    atleast it for a good cause and performing in HER HOME!! thats once in a lifetime experience

  8. Realest January 13, 2014

    Wow, what a class act. Mariah truly is timeless and her heart, as big as the ocean DAHHHLING! This is such an amazing, and positive opportunity! as per usual, the “no lifers” are here early to ramble the negativity, that is their life, first #ReachingWithT.RexArms #PressedToTheGods

  9. FutureCIARA January 13, 2014

    Everyone knows the necklace she is giving away to the winner is only a replica of the real one she has locked away somewhere…. Stop luring your fans on with foolish phony prizes

  10. Molly January 13, 2014

    No one cares not even your pork chop Slayriah.

  11. Molly January 13, 2014

    @FutureCiara you better clock her tea kiiii

  12. FutureCIARA January 13, 2014

    The replica necklace would only end up on EBay, or in somebodies pawn shop.

    I would immediately demand her to call a jeweler to appraise the necklace to see if its authentic or not.

  13. MC!!! January 13, 2014

    @future ciara ummmmm didnt she say she was performing for a random person IN HER HOME like seriously what is ciara doing other than pretending not to be pregnant?!

  14. FutureCIARA January 13, 2014

    Sam post about Rihanna looking a hot ass mess at JFK airport in NYC In a raggedy Floral print coat and new fail tattoo.

    She looks stupid!!

  15. FutureCIARA January 13, 2014

    @MC

    CIARA is busy enjoying Milan Fashion Week with her fiance, Both updating there wardrobes and getting free designer threads.

    Nobody wants to sit in Mariah’s house with her brat ass lil children, and annoying baby daddy, while watching MC prance around in a moomoo while still trying to find her falsetto.

  16. Theman January 13, 2014

    All Ciara fans that hate shall be reported as spam..

  17. Jamie January 14, 2014

    ^b****** threaten by the c squad presence. Lmao

  18. Lovebird January 14, 2014

    Did someone make the above picture in Minecraft or something?

    Sam, put up a real Mariah Carey pic next time, this one looks like it has too many pixels, so many cubes.

  19. Lovebird January 14, 2014

    Anyway a private concert by MC would have been appealing some 5 years ago when she could still sing; now I’m just left wondering if ear plugs are a requirement for this concert.

    Anyway I cannot for The Art of Letting go to come out, I am ready for you to take my coins Mimi because I know your talent as a song-writer.

    Your record still remains unblemished, best selling female artist of the soundscan era.

  20. Realest January 14, 2014

    Ciara, Ciara fans, C-Squad, 57,000… Shade in itself, no further commentary necessary.

    @Lovebird : hey it’d probably be clear if you weren’t bumming your wifi from your next door neighbors cause’ it’s clear as a summer’s sky on my screen.

  21. DIGGER BEY January 14, 2014

    LMAOOOOOO See this what I’m talkin about. WHERE OL WHERE IS FLOPIAH????????? The fake bytch doesn’t care about MooMoo lmfao

  22. Del Bey January 14, 2014

    *THIS IS A REPLY FROM THE PREVIOUS POST* @Future The reason I don’t have ‘carey’ or ‘cannon’ in my name is because it’s long, but I will defend ALL my favs none the less, currently it’s ‘Del Bey’ to represent Lana and Bey perhaps it will change one day

  23. ratedx(love is beautiful) January 14, 2014

    wow, that’s very sweet of her to do something like this..I would love to meet her in person…she’s one of my favs…

    this contest is for her fans/stans..why are the people who cannot stand her are the first to post negative s***…

    your favs would never do something like this, cause they are scared yall might try to do some crazy s***….

    even on her worst day mariah still shits on yall favs vocally..some of yall need to worry about yall fav..mimi has already done everything..

  24. Theman January 14, 2014

    The C Squad can’t threaten a fly. What they should be focused on are the BB charts, which they seem highly allergic to haha.. This will be nice of MC, she does amazing in small settings like this. Stephy shut up & stop repeating the same jibber ish..

  25. Hilary duff stan January 14, 2014

    Honestly who cares i don’t?

  26. Sass January 14, 2014

    Lol @ slayriah getting to Bey posts faster than its fave

  27. h2o January 14, 2014

    So basically a bunch of centenarians sitting watching a 1537-y.o. dying, cretin Moo fart out her dated, generic, forgettable and f****** B.A.D. music from before 1860 when she last had a career ……….

    Interesting

  28. h2o January 14, 2014

    That pic…

    So f**king ugly OMG … So f**king talentless … Makes the worst music known to a man, a woman or a f**king alien

    I just wanna shove her head down a toilet and p*** on her head ….. but probably even the toilet won’t fit

    Moo ………. What a f**king useless BUM

  29. cici4eva January 14, 2014

    @H20 YOU DISGUSTING ******* ****** PIECE OF **** GO THROW YOURSELF OGG THE NEAREST BRIDGE AND GO TO HELL *********

  30. Britney stan January 14, 2014

    @H20 yet you stan for the singing stripper (Beyonce) f*** outta here you disrespectful h**

  31. FutureCIARA January 14, 2014

    @Del Bey

    Ok, gotcha….

    And its NO SHADE when i say this, but when Ultra-violence flops you should probably change it then….

    LOVE YOU, MEAN IT!

  32. anonymous January 14, 2014

    LOL @Cierror fans. bitter and hating as usual. as if their fav can ever sing better than mariah.

  33. Shaquinisha-Rose January 14, 2014

    Oh the struggle of these haterz…Please surprise us with something other than the same old pathetic names you call Mariah on every single post. Come up with something a little more creative than mooriah, or saying she can’t sing, she’s a drunk etc. When in reality we all know her body is Hot! Her voice SH*ts all over your faves even on her worst days, and she drinks less than you do on most week nights as you sit behind your screen, typing up hate through your tears of envy. YOU are BORING and PREDICTABLE, and come across as sad, lonely people.

  34. Del Bey January 14, 2014

    Ohhh @Ciara you would know all about flopping wouldn’t you, that’s all your fav does #57k

  35. Career Ender January 14, 2014

    Damn I just missed the other post where the 2 Mental-Vomit Arabs where being dragged

    They are luckyyyyyy!!!!!!!

    I wish a biatch would!

  36. Career Ender January 14, 2014

    What the heck is MooMoo’s relevance in 2014?

  37. Career Ender January 14, 2014

    She looks like an expanding dough in an oven

    2010’s Flop Diva B****

  38. JOHNVIDAL January 14, 2014

    OMG this will be a nigh to remember for the Mariah Carey fan that attends that private performance, not to mention the necklace. Just the thought of being at Mariah Carey´s house? I´m not into worshiping celebrities, but don´t deny all of you haters if your fav were as big and legendary as Mariah is and you were able to just enter his or her house, you wouldn´t consider that huge for you. For the level of stupid stanning we often see in this blog I know most of you would p*** in your pants.

    I can´t wait for the album Mariah!

  39. Anissa January 14, 2014

    Breakdown refers to a song fromt the Butterfly album

  40. XYZ January 14, 2014

    I’m not worshipping celebrities either. but I love me some Mariah and her music, especially emancipation, helped me through some tough times.

    with that being said, I would def p*** in my pants If i would be invited. On top of that, can you imagine that just you and your partner are in a room with her (including some bodyguards, I guess)?

  41. Common Sense January 14, 2014

    Bey fans need to stop. What memorable songs does Bey have other than Crazy in Love again? Oh wait none. And Ciara fans coming for ANYONE is hilarious. C-Error has never been nor will she EVER be relevant. The only reason she’s at fashion week is because she wants the designer threads that she clearly can’t afford with her nonexistent album sales. 57k anyone?

  42. S****** Blonde January 14, 2014

    I’m sorry but I’d rather meet Britney Spears than Mariah Carey. I could not stand 15 minutes talking to her and hearing how above us, she is, her hand movements and her fake laugh, too much for me, i could go to a concert and enjoy her shows but as far as meeting her personally, no thanks, but with Britney, i would be like, c’mon girl tell me, what’s wrong, what it is that bothers you, it would be a psychological experience.

  43. Super Cisus January 14, 2014

    Who wants to see this stuck up diva air head b**** sing her old ass songs in the wrong key while wearing 50lbs of Make up and a tacky prom gown. This b**** is so annoying she need to go tf Away!!!

  44. JOHNVIDAL January 14, 2014

    @s******
    Oh yes because when we try to find the music that we love and the talent that we respect and enjoy, the most important thing is to help that artist we don´t personally know to scape her demons right? lol I understand your opinion about meeting Mariah but come on! And could you imagine meeting Madonna at her house? That would be terrifying! At least you know Mariah will fake hospitality for you, Madonna looks like a cold woman, I would be afraid 🙂

  45. shauwndapooh January 14, 2014

    C-Squad plz mariah has like 5 albums that has out sold ciara entire career her voice (after singing with vocals nodules since the day she was born) still sounds better than ciara if ciara did the same thing like her album no one would check for it

  46. Heyyy mrs carter January 14, 2014

    Who?

  47. DIGGER BEY January 14, 2014

    Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Flopiah still hasn’t commented n her fav post. I knew she loved THE QUEEN more than Hogiah. I don’t blame the h** though. MooMoo was boring as hell on stage with her voice. So now i know its like watching paint dry on a wall, watching her perform post 2008. @Common Sense Critics and musicians seem to put THE QUEEN ahead of MooMoo of lately. MooMoo said herself, THE QUEEN was one of her favs of ALL TIME! #YES BOW DOWN MOOMOO

  48. DIGGER BEY January 14, 2014

    The “Breakdown Singer” bwahahahahahahahahahahahah.
    .I can’t Struggliah

  49. The Boy Toy January 14, 2014

    @FoptureCiara: but she was en route to Brazil where she’s currently shooting yet another Vogue spread & cover. What’s your fave up to? Oh okay.

    And I hope Mimi is renting a home just for the fans. People are crazy and they shouldn’t know where she lives….

  50. Bey Fan January 14, 2014

    Thats nice of her…

    Mariah was my first love. I have all of albums. After Daydream I kinda fell back. But I love that woman. SOME of her music is timeless.

    We all know she can’t pull it (vocally) like she use to. But thats ok.

    P.S. I love my Hive… lmao. Y’all don’t mind!

  51. FAF January 14, 2014

    Mariah AND Ciara sing better than Rihanna thats for fucken sure Kiii 😆

  52. FAF January 14, 2014

    AND lANA DEL GAY HAS NO GRAMMYS, AND NO PLATINUM ALBUM IN THE US AFTER 2 YRS 🙁

  53. FAF January 14, 2014

    @boy toy (d****) sis, Ciara just left Milan for fashion week… No photo shop needed 😆 kiiiii

    I mean when your label pays Vogue to appear, I’m sure they’d allow u a slot, too

    that h** does NOTHING on her own merit, its always off that 360 & its not lettin up anytime soon. LMFAO

    Ci keeps all her money .. Rihanna = 90mil (allegedy) after nearly 8 eras and 3 tours LMFAO

  54. ROSEGOLD January 14, 2014

    Where is Slayriah? Oops sorry this isn’t a Beyonce post lol.

  55. MusicStan( ya’ll know who I stan for) January 14, 2014

    I don’t understand how Rihanna’s stan are throwing shade at Mariah yet their fave is on youtube trying to belt out Mariah’s hit “Hero” let’s be real Mariah is a legend in the music industry she came out when Whitney was at her BEST and made a name fof herself…. she didn’t really start doing the half naaked attempt til butterfly and still she was winning yeah some of her shows aren’t like it used to be but think about she been doing for 20+ years after a while you will lose somethings… Whenever Rih reach 20+ years then have this discuss she only been in the game for about 6 or 7 yrs…. and Mariah has been in a little longer… and for those who are throwing shots at ciara this year marks a decade she has been in the game and her first album will be ten years old so to call her all type of name is very stupid cause obliviously GOD wants her to continue cause if he didn’t she would been gone a long time… so stop the reaching yeah she isn’t selling like she did in the beginning but I got a feeling that something big is coming her way and ya’ll will see…. This year grammy’s after party performance is going to have her back where she needs to be…. for the GRAMMY’S to hand pick her twice (she perform for them twice once last yr and now this yr) means the industry exces is watching her closely…. My fave ballads from mimi are butterfly, my all, and Vision of Love ( my ulitmate fave)

  56. The Boy Toy January 14, 2014

    @F**: be that as it may, this is what…Rih’s 5th(?) cover? You and your Z-Squad friends throw the most shade, but don’t have legs to stand on. Lmao. Next!

    @Musicstan: next year will make it 10 years for Rihanna. No one would drag Ciara if it weren’t for her stans. I try to ignore them for the most part, but they stay doing the MOST.

  57. truth January 14, 2014

    @honeychildplease I hope that avi is not your real face. GIRL! that face is a read within itself.
    you are a flip flopping mess. you use to speak highly of mariah now you want to drag.

  58. truth January 14, 2014

    @suicideBLONDE then go meet Britney and enjoy that dumb as conversation. you should do exactly what your screen name says do. go be friends with s****** and KILL YOURSELF

  59. TRUTH January 14, 2014

    @careerENDER before you end a persons career, how about you go find one or better yet find some type of education. When I read your comments you just come off DUMB or just someone with BAD ENGLISH

  60. truth January 14, 2014

    *ass

  61. MusicStan( Ya’ll know who I stan for) January 14, 2014

    @boytoy I know you do I read all the comments first before putting in mines, and I see some of my fellow c-sqaud ands hive members starting… but the funny thing is rih, ciara and beyonce has alot of odds against for being black women and in charge… but my advice to you is just let them keep going and ignore them… yeah I put in my input about things but it is only because I just pull out fact sometimes stans love to reach I do understand ppl have much love for their faves and all but sometime your faves do some uncall for stuff. ciara,bey, rih and others all do make mistake in life cause they are human…. but i’m kinda getting tired of stans comparing their faves to ppl who path the way for their fave, like beyonce and mariah’s wars or madonna and gaga… ummm these women path the way for beyonce, rih, ciara, and gaga just to name a few and yet ppl think they can throw shade at a legend.. first your fave has to match their success, stat, and yrs before you can come for them…

  62. SLAY_HIVE January 14, 2014

    Where is HAGriah(Tour De Flop)?????? 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

    B**** you NEVER make it to your “fave’s” post as quick as you make to the Queens!

    DEATHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Fake ass b****!!!

  63. ABC January 14, 2014

    Hey faf I thought Cici was Givenchys muse? Why is Erykah the new face of Givenchy? Ciara loses again!

  64. TinaMinaj January 14, 2014

    LMAO @Slayriah being clocked!!
    That hating ass b**** does the most in EVERY Beyonce post but is nowhere to be seen in a Mariah post. That’s just SAD!
