Oz projected to do north of $80 million at US box office...not sure if that success will help the song...but it will have a large audience.

It's pretty clear that the song is a side project and with her album dropping by May or early Summer, I'm glad that they are leaving Almost Home in AC purgatory and trying not to confuse Pop, Rhythmic, and Urban PDs with her album lead single which will likely be out very soon. AH is vocally a nice little diddy but it isn't a song to pave the way for a Mariah album. The way it's been "barely mentioned" by her team pretty much suggest they want to album hype to be driven by a real lead single. Yes, and to be honest, I don't think Disney wound up liking it that much either. They put it at the tail end of the credits and barely used it. They also legally licensed it to Island/Def Jam, which is basically leasing it out. Island could've pushed it if they wanted to, and I'm sure they paid a good deal for the license. Either way, I'm glad. The video looks cheap, the song grows old fast, etc. I did like that demo Disney used, though. I really wish we knew who did the mixing. The melodyne and compression that has been on her last three singles (including "Oh Santa!") has to go. I thought the entire song was pitch shifted until I heard that demo, and realized the only notes drastically manipulated were head voice stuff anyway. They did ONE cut and paste adlib from a different take and removed the majority of her (very) controlled breaths. Then there's the compression...the lower notes in the verses sounded so much more full and rich without it, as did the drum kit/bass. I know Mariah's always used studio "trickery," but stacking and reverb is so much different. |

LOL, Right?
The only clue we have for this not being an IDJ pushed single is that there was no countdown on Mariah's website for a revamp, cluttering her site with hot-air balloons and fluttering butterflies.
lol

Her outfits on Live Idol so far are very attractive.

Mariah has no plans to perform "Almost Home" on Idol. A possible first single has been chosen, and it's not a JD song. She's still recording though, and they haven't made a final decision.

Classic Mimi "diva" moment around the 2:16 mark.
I thought there'd be a colorized Mimi at some point.

Love the video. I like the mixture of black & white against the crisp colors of the film. She looks gorgeous.

#279 on iTunes. I suppose the video might push it slightly higher before it fades into oblivion?
