In response to 7:32 AM's comments...

I think its a bit harsh to say her new material is sh!t.

A) You've only heard 2 of the songs via live perfomance which isnt always an accurate representation of a song (Especially when you havent heard a studio Version yet). Vocals are usually weaker, instruments arent as clear, usually missing subtle beats and sounds, sound isnt as crisp etc etc.

B) Mariah has a significantly unique sound, which is evident on all 3 of her new songs. If you don't like these, i find it hard to believe u would have taken well to TEOMM initially.

c) You cant judge a Mariah album by her funky tracks alone, i mean if the 1st 3 songs u heard off TEOMM were its like that, Say Something and shake it off... No doubts u would have assumed TEOMM would have been Waste.

D) You should know by now, Mariah mixes her albums up, the uptempo tracks arent too strong on their own but as part of the complete album, they work great.

E) I dont know where you got a comparison to Rihanna from aswell, they sound nothing like each other at all. Vocals, beats, style... there's nothing "riri" about Mariah's new stuff whatsoever. You may aswell be comparing Mariah to 50 Cent.

F) As stated before, wait for a couple of ballads to drop b4 u condemn her new stuff and get a wider scope of what E=MC2's is going to deliver.

All in all, i dont understand where all this negativity is coming from, IMO she hasnt strayed far away from TEOMM at all... And Everyone loved that album.

I find this trend quite common though with an artist bringing out new material. Initially, people hate on the simple basis that its not a familliar to them.

Maybe if people had the album, listened to it a few times and then saw a live perfomance, the only comments we'd be seeing is "Aaaah this is my jam, love mariah" etc etc.

The songs weve heard so far are typical mimi style, just gotta give it a little time to get used to them.

When i first heard touch my body, i wernt feeling it at all, but after 10 or so spins, its got me hooked on that classic mariah charm. No doubt the same will be said for Migrate & That Chick when the Studio versions drop.
