Official Mariah Carey Thread - Mariah joins the Haiti single line-up!

[MarkWaldorf]

Yeah in the UK until October 5th! :sad: USA is still 29th, its to prevent leaks I think.

On SIN someone said it should leak Monday and in parts so its harder to discover.

[MarkWaldorf]

UGH WILL IT LEAK :(

[Vladimir]

Well, the album is coming out in several European countries on Friday, so we probaly should wait until then.

[MarkWaldorf]

I can't wait any longer :(

[MarkWaldorf]

Mariah is confirmed to perform her second single "I Want To Know What Love Is" from her new album, Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel on the TODAY Show Friday, October 2.

TODAY airs from the NBC studios located at the corner of 49th Street and Rockefeller Plaza in New York Monday-Friday, 7-11am ET.

[Zac]

Cool.
& I love the hair - looks so narural and I'm glad she's gone back to her old ways. :)

[MarkWaldorf]

IT LEAKED D:

[BBUK4LYFE]

The album leaked.

[Zac]

OMGNOOO!
I'm not listening until it's officialy released. Why the fxck did it have to leak?! :sad:

[Vladimir]

YAYAYAY! :hello:


Well, Zac, I downloaded it, but I'll buy the album.

[MiuMiu]

I want to download it, but I also want to buy it.


And I want to see "Precious" right now!!!!
:thumbs:

She had a great voice once but she's lost it now, judging from her live performances. How does that happen so fast?

[MarkWaldorf]

^Because she's no longer a 20 year old girl? When you put someone with a powerful voice like hers in the spotlight and make her tour/perform/record constantly it'll strain. Plus, Mariah is known for her whistle register which probably affected her voice over the years.

[MarkWaldorf]

And the album is AMAZING!

But sure there's been loadsa other performers throughout the years who've maintained their voices much better than she has done. She was so bad on the Xfactor and Michael Jackson's memorial concert. I'd say there was a fair bit of tweaking done on the sound system during the recording of this album.

[MarkWaldorf]

Well with MJ show, I can only imagine she was very emotional. The start was bad but she picked it up at the end. XF, even I, a fan, thought she was very stiff and strained but that was really just a one time thing last year.

In the 90's her sound was very ballady, but now she's reinvented herself as an R&B/hip-hop artist so she doesn't exactly need a 6 octave voice to sing a power ballad anymore.

[setanta]

Ah, she's lost what she had and is trying to fit in with what is hip and happening right now. Fair play to her for trying but in my opinion the sparkle is gone and has now been replaced with a tarty barbie doll who's all show and with no real depth.

[MiuMiu]

I remember watching MJ's memorial thing and seeing Mariah preforming.
Me and my sister just turned to each ther with a look of disbelief.
Mariah was total s*** sticks. And I knew she'd use the "I was so emotional" excuse as I said it to my sister right after the performance.
Thank god Trey Lorenz was there to pick it up!

But she was really good on Oprah singing "I want to now what love is" recently, which was nice to hear.
And I rememeber the American Idol Gives Back epsiode from about 2 years ago where she sang "Fly like a bird" and blew it outta the park! It was just amazing.
So, she still has her moments.
But she has lost a lot of her "it" factor.
:sad:

[Vladimir]

And the album is AMAZING!


I agree. It's much better than E=MC2.

THANKS MIMI!

[MiuMiu]

These are the two best Mariah live performances IMO.
The first is at a basket ball match when she still new and most people didn't know of her.
There is quite some shock therefore when she does her high note, which is fun to see.

The second is when she's rehersing for the late late show or Jay Leno or somethin in 1990.
It is probably her best live performance ever.
Go to between 4:22 and 4:29 to get to the best part if you like.:blush:

[BBUK4LYFE]

I'm pretty disappointed by her album.

Every song has the same type of beat.

Why did she let the The Dream write every single track? Who does that now a days?

There is a few solid songs, but nothing spectacular.

I give it a C+/B-

[MarkWaldorf]

She and the Dream wrote every single track because its her memoirs.

[Zac]

Album is #104 on UK iTunes! :cheer:

[MarkWaldorf]

Woop :) It'll flop though :(

[Zac]

What?! Flop?! Why?!

[MarkWaldorf]

In the UK, because there's been no lead single. They released a remix of Obsessed and it went top 15 on iTunes then it was removed and nothing since.

[Zac]

Aaah. Shame really, isn't it. Obsessed could've done so well in the charts too.

[Zac]

Memoirs is like my favourite album right now. :love:

[MiuMiu]

It'll do amazing in America, where it counts.
They always lap up new Mariah material and treat her like the music royalty she is.
Go Mimi!
:thumbs:

[Vladimir]

Memoirs is like my favourite album right now. :love:


Same. :D

[Firewire]

I hope I Want To Do What Love Is does okay. It's released on October 26th, and Memoirs is released November 16th.

[Zac]

I think she said she would like to start a family and it was taken out of context.

Aaah right. She's put on quite a bit of weight too. :|

[Callum]

Obsessed finally cracked the top 10 on the US iTunes. About time too!

[MiuMiu]

When is the album out here????? :conf:

[MarkWaldorf]

23rd

[MiuMiu]

^^ Thanks!
She'll have some stiff competition.
Rihanna and Gaga!
:(

[MarkWaldorf]

It probably won't do well anyway because there's still no lead single being promoted here. :(

[MiuMiu]

It probably won't do well anyway because there's still no lead single being promoted here. :(

That's too true. :(
Where is this albums "We Belong Together" or "Touch My Body"?
Surly the album can't be that bad that they can't find any lead singles?
"Obsessed" was a massive fail over here, although it was one of my summer songs.

:(
Well, atleast she'll be on T4 and Strictly tommorow. That's something to really look forward too!
:D

[Callum]

I hope Obsessed does well when the album's released. I still think it might because it did peak in the 20's when the remix was released before.

[MarkWaldorf]

Is Strictly tomorrow? omg!!

And yeah true Callum!

[Callum]

I'm surprised she's doing SCD to be honest, thought she would've done XF. Guess they don't want her this year. :(

[MiuMiu]

I'm surprised she's doing SCD to be honest, thought she would've done XF. Guess they don't want her this year. :(

I suppose they don't really want to repeat themselves from Last year :(.
It would be SUPER PUBLICITY for her album though.

:bawling:

[MarkWaldorf]

She sounded good on the XF in Italy.

[KKBL]

^Hopefully she'll sound even better when she performs on XF next week!

[Firewire]

^Hopefully she'll sound even better when she performs on XF next week!

Didn't know she was doing X Factor.

[MarkWaldorf]

Mariah Daily listed it on her schedule but I thought they just got it confused witrh Strictly.

[Vladimir]

RXhhNDx-wx8

beautiful <3

[KKBL]

Why did she cancel SCD?She could of done both.That would be massive promo.
14 + 9 = 23 million viewers!!

[MarkWaldorf]

cause she's only in the uk this weekend.

[MiuMiu]

Dermot siad that Shakira, 12 finalists singing charity song, and a special Queen surprise will be on tomorrow.
So I don't think they'll have time for Mariah tomorrow.
:conf:

[MarkWaldorf]

Mariah is next week :) she's pre-recording it.

[MiuMiu]

Mariah is next week :) she's pre-recording it.

Oh ok!
YAY!
