Cool that Up Out My Face is the main single now....I feel like that's the right song. Hopefully it will be like at least a moderate hit...it seems possible. It's a catchy tune. Maybe they'll send radio both versions...

I have to say, I don't think Mariah looks "big" in that pic at all. Tall, but not big.

I keep listenin to UOMF and somethin seems OFF about it. I don't know if it's Nicki's random rappin in a British accent about nothing or just the "out my face boy" repetition. Standing O is waaay better.
So they just completely scraped AC?! Hmmm....

This album is going to suffer selling right about now....and thats so unfortunate. Up Out My Face is not gettin a pop radio release...same as Obsessed, and thats the reason for the low sales of Memoirs. Island Records is so retarded.

#1 or top 10 hits do not mean an album will sell.....the purpose of re-releasing this album in the first place is because it started with low sales...Angels Cry will actually sell this album, not Up Out My Face...the last Up Tempo to sell a Mariah album was Heartbreaker with Rainbow in 1999.

There's actually a storyline. I don't know what the hay UOMF is about. Just a lame song. I guarantee you that the remix to Standing O will be FAR betta. Total club banger. UOMF is the ri-tad-ed step child uptempo on the album.

I've never liked either... I wanted More THan Just FRiends, Ribbon or Betcha Gon for the uptempo, but that ain't gonna happen. I prefer Angels Cry to UOMF. But I know UOMF is popular here. I do like the remix better than the original.

Betcha Gon Know is GREAT!!1
Could MiMi actually pull that song off live (visually speaking) or in a video?! Def. needs to be on her set list.

Standing O is waaay better. So they just completely scraped AC?! Hmmm.... On the remix, the chorus of "Up out my face boy..." is only done twice. I actually worried about the fact they cut it down from the original as that's the tagline of the song. This album is going to suffer selling right about now....and thats so unfortunate. Up Out My Face is not gettin a pop radio release...same as Obsessed, and thats the reason for the low sales of Memoirs. Island Records is so retarded. "Obsessed" did have a pop radio release and it peaked at #8 on pop radio. "Up Out My Face" doesn't have an adds date for pop yet, but if it becomes a hit on rhythmic and urban, I imagine they would send it for adds at pop.

I'm glad the made the switch. Recently Mariah has done much better with her uptempo songs.

Even Radio is Showing It: Angels Cry Remix: 0.755m AI Up Out My Face Remix: 0.361m AI

Angels Cry is nothing down the lines like "Bye Bye", "I Stay In Love", "H.A.T.E.U.", "I Want To Know What Love Is", "Through The Rain"
Unliked Those Songs....Angels Cry Actually Have A Huge Hook.....Mariah + Big Hook = RADIO SMASH
Its Crazy to compare Angels Cry to those songs when they sound nothing alike....
"H.A.T.E.U." Is A Boring R&B Song.... "IWTKWLI" Is Nothin 00's Type Material (A Rock Power Ballad Turned Into R&B Ugh!) "I Stay In Love" Is Weak Vocally Performed, Weak Lyrically, Weak Production & Hook "Through The Rain" Is Inspirational...
"Angels Cry" Is Not Only Following Down The Lines of We Belong Together....When You Look At The Overall Production, Lyrical Content, and Vocal Performance.....Its 1 of only 2 songs that can actually be compared to "We Belong Together"....."Don't Forget About Us" Is The Other

^ Been there and done that. Mariah needs a fresh uptempo to sell this album. UOMF isn't the best song Mariah has ever recorded, not by a long shot. But it's fun, and that's what's being played on the radio right now.
A ballad can still sell the album, but something else needs to grap attention at radio first. I agree with this decision.

You disagree with UOMF as the single, and you've stated so half a dozen different ways. We get it. Writing post after post about it here is not going to change the decision. I personally think after a string of ballads that underperformed, it would be pretty silly to press ahead with another. Bring on Up Out My Face.

Angels Cry is an amazing song BUT it's no We Belong Together! Lost your whole argument with that one!

"Betcha.." is one of the standout cuts on the CD. It's pure R&B. I always thought would be a nice lil urban single, and I pictured it having a R. Kelly-ish style video with a storyline that matches the lyrics to the t.

I understand that, but UpTempos dont sell Mariah Carey's albums....they have never sold Mariah's album....and doubt they are going to start now Especially on a Worldwide scale.... She dont just need a ballad...she needs a powerful ballad.....all the ballads she released were not powerful, and they were not pop either....Pop radio will be playing Angel's Cry....they didnt even touch IWTKWLI & H.A.T.E.U. Mariah needs to get in touch with her Pop Audience....thats bottom line, and Up Out My Face is not going to do so
