As a new Mimi fan, I've been spinning her albums all summer and have finally ranked them... Are you relatively young, or just missed Mariah through the year for some reason? Anyway, I like reading the reactions of new fans, and I have a similar ranking to you overall with some minor differences, but our favorite songs on those albums are wildly different

SWGeek, and where is Glitter? It's better than at least a couple of those albums. I didn't rank Glitter or her holiday albums as they serve a different purpose than her regular studio albums. I've also only heard Glitter in the context of the film (which was bland as hell) so I need to sit down and listen to it in full. It would probably rank between Memoirs and Rainbow for me though.

Didn't start seriously paying attention to music until '05. And I love how everyone has different favorites. Just goes to show what a diverse, quality body of work she has.

I don't know what the video is but the title is "The End of Mariah Carey's Career" so he can stay irrelevant to my eyes and ears.

But, it's mostly what we've all been saying: mismanagement, poor single choices, crappy videos, promoting her "brand" instead of her music. He made a good point, though, about making music along the same lines of Rihanna and Katy Perry and being criticized for losing her spectacular voice and pandering to a teenage audience,or she makes big-voiced (classic Mariah) sounding music and is criticized that that could never be popular at this time.

^ That was the beauty of WBT for me - it was the best of both worlds. Simple and melodic throughout the most part and then big-voiced classic Mariah came out right at the end to snatch her moment for just the right amount of time before fading off.

I think #Beautiful was a perfect balance of both worlds as well. The song doesn't feel out of place in her discography yet it managed to be new and refreshing.

That's great for Oz! After going thirsty for Mariah for so many years, they get two tours in such a short space of time :)

Daaahling it was actually a great tribute, the title is a question that is floating out there. If you gave some little girls album a hour of your time on that thing they call a album, you should be able to watch a glorious tribute to the Megawatt diva.

That guy was pretty much dead on with all his points. Things definitely changed for Mariah when she married Nick in 2008, and that was probably the point that her music took a back seat. It's a shame, since E=MC2 and MIAM >>> TEOM, imo.
"#Beautiful" is exactly the type of song Mariah should make. However, it's puzzling that she didn't really continue with that sound. At the very least, I would've liked for her to have worked with Miguel again.

Nothing groundbreaking but lots of truths and a great take. He is really funny. I also thought he was spot on. Really???.... It' sounded like a fan rambling on...afraid of leaving his room unless things get better.... Life go's on people, like In the movie Moonstruck...when Loretta ( Cher ) slapped Ronny (Nicolas Cage)..... Snap out of it!!!!

Anyway... I think the tour is the best thing for her now... She'll have more time too write new material too, she needs time alone , any divorce is tuff and takes a toll on the individual ....and take them babies with her. ... and yes .. I said them babies.. ..Lol

Coco dahhling, master of shade, my support for that "little girl" is my Quinceañera gift to her. She didn't get a new pony this year. Mariah better come to NY so I can see her again. It's been too long!

I hope Mimi gives us some more Sydney Can't Let Go/Love Takes Time moments on this tour...that unexpected performance still gives me goosebumps.

I think he was dead on in certain spots. I definitely think that Mariah is on the brink of the end of her career and needs to do something big next album out. She also needs to get something out sooner than five years. I feel terrible for her that she is going to be a twice divorced diva. Maybe she and Nick will end up patching things up. Who knows.

He is a youtube personality and actually gets paid by youtube for his opinions and he has many subscribers. So, ramble on but it's not like he is keeping tabs on every other female that is in direct competition with his fav. It was just a honest take on what he felt.

Went back into 90's vault today... Simply I think one of the greatest decades ever.... Part of it was the classic Breakdown video...simply I think one of her best looks...the vibe with Bone Thugs was on point.... Favorite part is the black cowboy hat look at the end.

For anyone is Australia, the official mariahcarey.com website now has Live Pass account upgrades available for $25AUD that gives you access to the pre-sale.
The running of her website and fan club is a mess - she really needs to recruit a better team for that.

^haha it saddens me to know that Rachel is still on the payroll, probably thinking up some new 1-step-2-step dance moves for the upcoming tour as we type...Mariah wasn't kidding when she said that letting go ain't easy. But sometimes Mimi it's just necessary.
