A lot of reviews I've seen(aside from Roger Friedman'$ glowing review) have absolutely panned this album. A lot of her diehards have even turned on her after this album.

I will say I thought E = MC2 was much more...interesting than Mimi. You're absolutely right about that. I still listen to "Love Story" and there's a remix of "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" by Designer Drugs that is the f*cking deal. And occasionally, "I Wish You Well"

I still think that. She just needs to let go of this whole, "slang," thing and really focus on lyrics that will appeal to a broader range. That is, of course, IF she wants another #1 single. She can't rely on her bag of rap tricks to make her relevant anymore.

I think, and Sylph the staunch lamb, can refute it if I am wrong, but I think she only writes lyrics.

This is all extremely interesting, but I don't see it happening. Especialy the playing an instrument part. Perhaps I have a problem with myself actually, but it's difficult to believe. She has been insisting on the same sound since forever and even though I still do like it, mostly, I wish she tried something a bit different.

Which is when your comment about more electronica comes. I've never went into that direction; that's certainly more doable than Mariah surrounded with live instrumentation and, say, strings. That verges on if it's not outright tacky. Hip-hop is even more surprising.

She'll be forty soon, she needs to wake up already. Perhaps motherhood will change her.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm just looking at these Examiner.com titles!!! Take a look:

Mariah Carey: Will Def Jam drop her from their label?

Mariah Carey meets her new friend, Karma

Mariah Carey tries to cover up album flop with baby hype

Mariah Carey: Fading star in deep discount crisis

Mariah Carey: New 'Memoirs' album gets slammed by veteran critic

Mariah Carey: An open letter to a fading pop star

And the short articles themselves... It would be freakin' hilarious if it weren't this tragic.

Meow!

Are you referring to Emotions/The Best of My Love or Till The End of Time? Or Thank God I Found You/One of those Love Songs? Or all the samples she's used?

She has been forgiven for a few of her sins. Let all that go.

I wish she DID plagiarized herself! :( We may have gotten another "Vanishing."

And she really doesn't think she dresses trashy?! :blink:

That's just nasty. Is she gonna do this when she's sixty? At least Madonna's skinny enough to fit into those outfits.

I know she did that badass remix of "We Belong Together" with the rappers. That was good.

I never knew she remade Vision of Love, but I see her perform it live these days and it bothers me so badly because of all the extra vocal gymnastics she does to cover up for the lack of power.

And don't get me started on Hero 2009. "It's a long rowd." :rolleyes:

She gets a pass on Never Too Far/Hero Medley. She did that for 9-11 and extra press. Can't fault her for that.

    • 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.
