Firstly, if you haven’t heard the title of Mariah Carey’s 14th studio album, catch yourself up:

Practically any aspect of a phrase like Me. I Am Mariah … The Elusive Chanteuse would have been weird enough on its own—I don’t know that you could really call a globally famous pop star “elusive”—but the sum total has had an amazing effect on Internet people’s brains.

Not everyone was on board:

I do think that ultimately this is for her own good. #mariahcarey #elusivechanteuse #iammemariah pic.twitter.com/OSegoi3ogi

Now, while we wait for J.K. Rowling to turn Harry Potter and the Elusive Chanteuse into a profitable reality, you can generate your own bizarre, Mariah-esque album title. Because at the end of the day, we’ve all got a little diva in us.
