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.

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.
