Members Sylph Posted October 12, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 12, 2009 I'm serious. And I'm not saying I like it. Lyrics - I agree. But I was talking about the melodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted October 12, 2009 Members Share Posted October 12, 2009 Does she compose most of her melodies or does she leave that to the producer? I know a lot of artists that cannot compose music, but hear an idea in their heads and let their producer compose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted October 14, 2009 Members Share Posted October 14, 2009 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.

Members bellcurve Posted October 14, 2009 Members Share Posted October 14, 2009 Also, did anyone catch the Today Show performance of "I Want to Know What Love Is" with the Gospel choir doing the cheesy hand movements and the random ejaculation of cheap gold streamer?

Members Sylph Posted October 14, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 14, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sylph Posted October 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 21, 2009 :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...

Members alphanguy74 Posted November 1, 2009 Members Share Posted November 1, 2009 Oh my.... Mariah...... who did she plagarize on this album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted November 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 1, 2009 Herself. What plagiarizing stories did you have in mind in particular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted November 2, 2009 Members Share Posted November 2, 2009 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?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted November 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 2, 2009 I was wondering that, too. Well, she remade Hero how many times? Vision of Love? We Belong Together? Pay attention to Hallowe'en costume!!! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted November 2, 2009 Members Share Posted November 2, 2009 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." 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.
