On the real I will not be buying this cd. I use to be a fan but no more I do like 4 minutes but thats about it. She cant sing on hip hop/r&b tracks sorry. As far as comparing this cd COME ON NOW WE ALL KNOW JANET'S CD IS BETTER.(And I'm not even a fan like that but the cd is good except for one song-one song! And I don't like nothing!)Stop playing, Mariah's cd is even better than Madonna's no offense but it's just not as good as I was expecting. I wanted it to be the heat bcause of the Timbo track but no dice. The fans are going to buy it and say that's its good because they are fans...dah but i will not spend the money. I'm sure she will do good and sell cause her "folks" buy they don't burn and bootleg so she should debut at the top. She may outsell Mariah but we'll see.
