I know, right? Even Charmbracelet was more fun and marketable than Memoirs. But Charmbracelet came during a difficult time in my life, so that album will always hold an extremely special place in my heart. I still believe that album was Mariah's last true studio effort. I've had contempt for Mimi and beyond.

Did she even include the Walter Afanasieff tracks on this album? If so, I didn't know it. He is renowned for his stellar piano productions and she really should have put those two/three tracks on the album. Even if the singing wasn't great in those, it would have reminded fans of how great she used to be with him.

Short of a miracle, if this was the make or break to renew her contract with Island/Def Jam, she's screwed. This is not going to sell.

And uh...excuse me Mr. Britney Spears Fan, but what was wrong with Glitter and Charmbracelet as albums? Did you actually listen to the albums in full or did you just go by what people told you? And Glitter and Charmbracelet both may have had rejected tracks from her other albums, but that doesn't make them any less stellar.

Glitter was a fun dance album that had some beautiful ballads and slow tempos. "Lead The Way" being her last true good ballad EVER and "Want You" featuring Eric Benet being a groovy R&B slowdown.

Let's not forget Charmbracelet, which had alot of good and interesting tracks. "Through the Rain," "Bringing on the Heartbreak," and "I Only Wanted" being solid, beautiful ballads. "Boy(I Need You)" and "Irresistable" both being good rap/R&B collaborations.

I may not be a fan of hers anymore(she and her glass of Milk need to sit their asses DOWN), but please don't knock those albums, especially if you don't know what the hell you're talking about. Charmbracelet and Glitter were not nearly as bad as critics made them out to be and they are not nearly as bad as the trash Mariah has put out during Emanicpation of Mimi and Beyond. They are charming, underappreciated gems and represent the last period of really GOOD Mariah.

Tamara Braun and Days of our Lives immediately come to mind, among other things...

On this album, I loved Angels Cry and Standing O. Standing O - I just can't stop singing it. And it's Side Effects, v2.0.

But it's all cr*p.

Her overreliance on cliched drum programming and choice of bass drums, coupled with piano in every single song, whispery, whistly voice, bad vocal arrangements... It's just - enough.

If you were to read any of my posts instead of merely glossing over them, or even look at what the avatar and the signature says, maybe, just maybe, you'd learn to think before opening your mouth.

And Sarah Brown is a great actress who can make anything work. I forgive you for your oversight. You obviously have an aversion to good taste.

RE: Sylph's Posted Article...

What ballads were there? The only honest to true ballad was "I Want to Know What Love Is." Everything else was that mid-tempo R&B crap.

The only thing that would save her for me is releasing every single B-side and unreleased track on a CD called, "Honey B. Sorry!" It can include stuff we've heard before(i.e. Do You Think of Me, Everything Fades Away, Slipping Away, There For Me), and it can also include stuff we've never heard before(i.e. Do You Ever Wonder, Reach For The Sky, Those Walter Afanasieff Ballads from this album).

Mariah just needs to suck it up, work on convincing Island Def-Jam that she IS worth to keep around, and focus the next year or two writing and working on creating a more mature, evolved Mariah.

    • Agree.  But I would describe him as being disappointed not bitter. 
    • >>><<< Great minds!  Kat certainly does prove that point. She's been given a lot to work with, so we shouldn't be bored of her anytime soon. I am interested in all her storylines at the moment, and curious how the show will use the affair to impact her romances and business stories. Well, what movie was it? Cause… I noticed it too. The first couple of seconds of the song were slightly different. OMG! Great call, precisely the same situation.
    • I think Kin was dissatisfied at GH in as much as Scotty had been pushed aside for Luke/Laura and the writing was doing him no favors as Scotty was now seen as an obstacle to their romance. So with his contract up he was offered big $$$ to move to Texas, which you can't blame him for. In addition to the money, I recall he was promised that Jeb would be a more dynamic character than Scotty. The money came through but not the story, so  don't blame him for being  slightly bitter.

    • A random thought - June is related to Hayley AND Tyrell and Samantha. Hayley and June are sisters separated when young. Years later June's children Ty and Sam end up being adopted into the Dupree family, coincidentally giving Hayley a further link to that family.
    • He spoke highly of the cast but was disappointed in his lack of story.  He was not disrespectful and he has the right to express his feelings.
    • I like Nicole the most, because she's the only normal person, even if she slides into psych-analyzing speak. I like Anita--but I suspect that's more about my attachment to Tamara Tunie. I'm on the fence about Dani--but I don't see her as the underdog vs. Nicole. Dani had her a fabulous life. Nicole might not have lived in her sister's shadow, but it seems like Dani gets the attention in the family.
    • I definitely wouldn't mind seeing him again. I understand.  BUT...a start.

    • Cody could have been Derek. He shows a lot more emotion in the scenes he gets than Gavin ever has.
