Members bellcurve Posted August 13, 2009 Members Share Posted August 13, 2009 Career Crumbling http://perezhilton.com/2009-08-12-career-crumbling-mariah-cancels-big-appearances Fans who requested tickets to Mariah Carey's August 28th performance on the Today show received an email today (see above) stating that Mimoo cancelled on NBC and has been replaced with Miley Cyrus!!! Not a good sign! Especially with a new album supposedly coming out next month! To add insult to injury, Carey is also noticeably absent from the list of performers at this year's MTV VMA's! The songstress was originally scheduled to perform at the September awards in NYC, but Mariah's name has been left off the latest press release! What gives???? MiMi Postpones Again! Possibly... http://perezhilton.com/2009-08-13-mimi-postpones-again-possibly Okay, what's the deal Mariah Carey? Your wiling to do your husband's crappy talent show, but not anything legit? Where is the logic in that? So far, Miz MiMi has canceled on the Today Show, VH1 Storytellers, the MTV Video Music Awards, and receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! That latter is just stupid! You don't even have to sing! You just have to stand there and look pretty! Surely, you can handle that! While Mariah's management continues to stay mum about the cancelled events, some are suggesting that the reason behind all the cancellations is in direct correlation to the possible SECOND postponement of her Mariah's latest album. It might come to be that Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel will not be released on September 15, 2009, but at a later, currently unknown date. But why? That's just silly! Maybe there will be a song on there that is better than Obsessed. You won't know till you try! C'mon Mariah. Cut the crap and just release the damn thing!

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 13, 2009 Members Share Posted August 13, 2009 Is she having a 2001-style mental and physical breakdown again? I must admit, that was the only time Mariah as a person was somewhat interesting. Only Mariah would would have a nervous breakdown when her song doesn't live up to commercial expectations...

Members bellcurve Posted August 13, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2009 I think it's that, coupled with "The Warning." I really hope, for Mariah's sake, that those pictures don't exist. "Bagpipes in Baghdad" heavily alludes to a menage-a-trois with another woman. Mariah really should have just left Eminem alone. I would have been perfectly content staying in a Lamb mentality believing that they never did anything together. I kind of lost respect and love for her after The Emancipation of Mimi, an album I believe is her first album of pure and utter crap. Knowing that she cut the Walter Afanasieff ballads from her album makes me even less excited about Memoirs, not that "Obsessed" really inspired me to want to go out and buy it anyway. Someone should just go ahead and release the damn thing to Rapidshare already. Save us the trouble of waiting to hear how awful this one's gonna be. "MaryAnn! MaryAnn saying 'Cut the tape! Cut the tape!' KNIFE!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted August 13, 2009 Members Share Posted August 13, 2009 OK, I know nothing about this affair. What's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted August 13, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2009 LOL. Well, here's how it went down... Mariah denied dating Eminem after Luis Miguel in 2001/02 during the whole Glitter/Meltdown. Mariah told members of the press and fans that she'd been with as many guys as she could count on less than one hand. Eminem was getting considerable airplay for Superman, which was a diss on Mariah. She countered that with the song, Clown, from her Charmbracelet album, which didn't get airplay. Eminem then decided to use clips of Mariah Carey voicemails during tour shows, in which she proceeded to threaten legal action against him. Things cooled considerably until the release of Bagpipes In Baghdad from his recent album, where he raps about missing Mariah and saying how did it all go wrong, etc. and tells Nick he can have the effing wh*re or something to that effect. THEN, Mariah counters with her song and video for Obsessed, where she plays and mocks Eminem. That's where The Warning comes in, where Eminem, in "pornographic" detail recalls sex with the divine Ms. Carey, alluding to her cheating on Luis Miguel with him, and using actual voicemail clips that say things like, "I want you," "Superherrrrrooooooooo," and "MaryAnn, MaryAnn sayin' 'Cut the tape. Cut the tape.' Knife!" I seriously don't think her locking herself away has to do with the lagging sales. I think it has more to do with avoiding questions about her relationship with Eminem. Nonetheless, here's the clip: Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Daphne Posted August 13, 2009 Members Share Posted August 13, 2009 Is Obsessed doing well on the charts? What gets me is, this "affair" (or whatever you wanna call it) between Mariah and Em happened 8 years ago and yet both can't let go of the past Eminem keeps wanting to remind people that he and Mariah had something, and Mariah keeps doing her best to deny his stories. I heard Em's Warning song and I was at this content. But that's Eminem for ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 13, 2009 Members Share Posted August 13, 2009 No, though it was her highest debut for a single since 1998, it peaked in its first week of release and has been losing steam ever since. It has yet to go top 10, pretty much a failure for a new single, considering her last lead single from an album went to #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted August 14, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 14, 2009 BTW, it's official. Mariah postpones again! LOL. I wish someone at her label would leak the album just to put her ass in a tailspin. Stalling will only make matters worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 14, 2009 Members Share Posted August 14, 2009 Actually, the stalling makes it more likely that the album will be leaked on the internet long before its release date. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted August 14, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 14, 2009 Yep. And when everyone has the album, who wants to buy it on iTunes? And a couple of extra songs? Is she gonna make another diss track about Eminem? Or is she not working on it at all, rather she needs time for people to forget about Eminem's diss track? They'll never forget. I just want her to lie about it again so Eminem can destroy her life. Just realized Mariah's gonna be going head-to-head with Madge's definitive collection release(September 29, 2009). She picked a bad time to release her CD. The gays are gonna push their dollars to Madonna. She resonates more. She better hope that no R&B stars release their stuff on the 29th. Otherwise, she'll really be wondering what love is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheDSA Posted August 17, 2009 Members Share Posted August 17, 2009 Classic clip. Always entertaining. I'm pretty sure the postponements have nothing to do with eminem and more to do with Mariah scrambling to record more songs or refine already recorded songs. early reviews from listening parties in Hong Kong and in the UK were basically mediocre and response was lukewarm. But this is what i kinda expected when she decided to get THE DREAM to executive produce her album. MISTAKE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
