So, how much airbrushing went into that cover to make Mariah not look like the whale she is?

Typical, recycled, and popular at the moment trash from Mariah. Blech.

[Sylph]

:D

I expected that!

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Can this woman please hire a consulting firm to come up with better album titles for her?

[Cashton]

"...Angel" was the the next logical step in her lucky charms title guide. I heard her new single Obscessed which is so ick. i was hoping she'd go Lady GaGa and do some pop again. Will I still buy it the first day it comes out..yep!

[Sylph]

I'm buying it, too! You betcha!

She says on her Twitter page that there will be ballads!

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Apparently, she's working with Walter Afanasieff again. Though, I seriously doubt she can pull off the type of ballads she used to sing. Her voice has deteriorated considerably.

But really you can't expect much originality from a Mariah Carey album anyway. It's usually a very recycled sound that she employs because it's hip.

[Sylph]

You're totally right about everything you say, I do really agree.

It's only that somehow, I don't even know exactly why, I am able to ignore the mid-tempo R&B drivel (you've said something like that about her previous effort ) and be satisfied with what I'm getting.

[Sylph]

Y&RWorldTurner, do you think Walter Afanasieff can still produce a great ballad? Not past his prime?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Knowing Mariah, I'm sure she'd want Walter to contemporize his sound a little more to be more of the moment, so who really knows. Walter's production might deliver, but the whispery crap Mariah considers singing these days sure as hell doesn't give me any hope for decent ballads.

Also, as you know, ballads aren't as commercial as they used to be, and Mariah is all about those #1 singles...

Walter hasn't produced a hit song in quite some time, so this is a really surprising move from Mariah. But who knows if any of his songs will be singles.

[JackPeyton]

I cant wait.

I love Mariah.

haters to the left!

[Chris B]

Her voice has sounded terrible in recent years and this song showcases that well. She was once known for her voice, now has been reduced to lip synching most performances. This song sounds about five years old. This and her previous two cds could all be combined into one album that would be a GREAT album in 2003, but where is the artist progression? She's gotten so lazy.

[Sylph]

Her voice has sounded terrible in recent years and this song showcases that well.

I think her voice is doing well. She hasn't lost it, those tales have been exaggerated. However, her over-reliance on these heavily processed, Auto-Tune infected, washed vocals is... Getting annoying.

[YRBB]

Damn! I really really wanted to love this. I don't necessarily hate it. I would have a hard time recognizing her voice initially if I didn't know this was her.

But I kinda somewhat like the title of the album. But I haven't bought the last two she made, didn't want to lower myself to that level and I even liked Glitter!
