Mariah Carey, @MariahCarey - Tweet: "'mommy Roe Roe wanna sing mommy!' Ms. Monroe just can't stay away from momma's mic..

"It's a Wrap" Featuring Mary J. Blige - In Mimi's own words, "Now it's time for the deluxe." She kicks off the bonus tracks with a remake of her "It's a Wrap" off Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, a duet featuring Mary J. Blige. The song was originally released in 2009, but the 2014 version featuring Mary is twice as good. The two R&B divas complement one another, adding a women's-only club vibe to lyrics about leaving a no-good ex. (Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)
"Betcha Gon' Know," Featuring R. Kelly - Mariah taps R. Kelly to let you into a day of her life. This is another Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel recreation made into a duet, featuring vocals from the Pied Piper of R&B. The storyline-driven song is perfect for Kells, who adds a "Trapped in the Closet" feel with his verse in which he describes an accidental affair. Kells sings, "Baby I know how it looks," after he is caught red handed, and even suggests that someone may have slipped something in his drink.(Photos from Left: Noel Vasquez/Getty Images, Jason Merritt/Getty Images)
"The Art of Letting Go" - Letting go isn't easy, but Mariah mastered the art on her closing track. "I'm making a statement," she sings, for anyone who has been in love, in a friendship, or any type of relationship in which betrayal led to its ultimate demise.(Photo: Paras Griffin /Landov)
