I thought MOAIA was a very good album for her. It got a lot of great views... What I hate is that a project, when leaked will get some good response but due to bad single choice/lack of funds/support from label to boost up the record, people will hate on a project once it hasn't performed that well. Happened with a few other albums. Eh well.

"Memoirs" is selling a steady 5,000 copies a week. By August, the album will have sold 500,000 copies. While still a flop...it's at least officially went Gold. I want a new Mariah album the week of Christmas. I don't care if it's "cheating". We need album sales...and we need them bad. Release single in November and CD on December 20th. Even if she releases Thanksgiving week (the biggest week, not Xmas) the album would struggle to sell half of what MOAIA has sold. So this as-yet-to-exist album is a flop before even being recorded? New levels of

Radio ALWAYS gives Mariah a clean new slate for each era. As long as she comes with HITS, they will play her. But a song isn't a radio hit until the formats it goes for adds at make it a hit. Clean slates don't exist when you're a 40+ year old gunning for hits at mainstream radio. I don't think the 40+ thing matters as much as people here think. Especially w/ Mariah. I think it is flat out STUPID to count her out. Didn't we go through this in 2001? If anything, the performance of Memoirs will make her hungry for a hit again. We all know Mariah makes her best music when she has something to prove, a la TEOM or Butterfly.

^lol. madonna is a joke in america. 50 year women singing songs about going to the club and dirty sex is not appealing at all. Interesting how a 'joke' fills up stadiums while a 'singer' can't sell out theaters. And I'm only talking about America here. ;)

I want a new Mariah album the week of Christmas. I don't care if it's "cheating". We need album sales...and we need them bad. Release single in November and CD on December 20th. You do know why the album is selling 4k a week right? The album has been deep discounted to $9.99 for weeks in stores and $7.99 at Amazon. Can't blame the label but it's the price point. Holidayguy was correct in his predictions months ago that the 2 singles would not do well. Also, if she releases an album Christmas or studio at the end of the year, that would be almost career suicide. She is overexposed and not in a good way. Not sure why people close to her can't get her to understand. She is not finished by a long shot but she needs an extended break, an image overhaul and a shift in the songs that she sings. Getting back her older audience is the first step. They don't so much listen to the radio or watch videos but when they hear a song that they like or find out that an artist whom they like is releasing new music, they are loyal and will purchase and not illegally download.

I dont kno why ppl still insist on comparing Mariah and Madonna... Let Mariah Have 10 more years in the music industry.. then MAYBE they can be compareable.. as of right now, Mariah is still an artist getting radio hits.. Madonna Is Not.. So when Mariah is 50 yrs old these comparisons are going to be greatly different.

That will be interesting to see Mariah in 10 years too. She's gonna weight like twice her current weight and she will still wear those tiny dresses and bikinis in her videos. I hope she doesn't change :)

Why do you attack Madonna when Mariah is doing bad? The photoshopped pics of mariah are the ones used in magazines and official products.

people dont attack madonna by POSTING REAL PICS of hers.

I don't really follow you... I don't hate Mariah but I don't love her, I find her interesting in a funny way so I follow her. I just don't get why you attacked Madonna while Mariah is doing bad.

Yes, but if we just ignored him he'd get bored and go away. Somebody with his posting style, not to mention who puts a photo of themselves in their avatar, is clearly just looking for attention. But if people continue to take his bait then we're just sinking to his level.

Urgh. Love Madonna but she has no place in this thread.
Mimi will make it back wodnerfuly. She just needs to release the right ISH, I think a music change up, even if its subtle. Something more mature? Less of the meh RnB? Work with new producers?
I'd be behind that. At this point what does she have to loose?

Wow....page 2 of a new Mariah thread for a non-existent album and the Mariah v Madonna war has begun already; that's got to be some kind of record! (and as usual, it wasn't even a Madonna fan who brought her up - if you don't want the battle, don't put another artist down because Mariah isn't doing so well...simple!).
I really hope this is just the usual talk about a new christmas album that comes up every year but never comes to fruition, because I just see a disaster coming. As pointed out earlier, Merry Christmas was the absolute peak of Mariah's voice; plus it'll most likely be watered-down RnB with an added rehash of AIWFCIY.
I'm hoping she re-teams and tries to come up with an original, innovative concept to get new music out there, listens to some new artists/genres, finds some new producers and just experiments with her sound. I love Memoirs and it's great to have a really consistent sounding album from her. But it's time she brought the Mariah hits back!
