Diva Mariah Carey paid a visit to The Jay Leno Show a few hours ago to promote her latest projects. In the light-hearted interview, the 39 year old songstress spoke on her new album ‘Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel’ (which is tumbling down the charts, with just 275, 000 copies sold), her role in the critically-acclaimed movie ‘Precious’, her perfume and more.
While she came across quite well, I was rather surprised that she didn’t perform anything from the album. I mean you’d think she and her team would understand the fact that ‘Memoirs’ is on course to flop harder than ‘Glitter’; and no I’m not being a cow, I’m just saying…
In other Mariah news, fan-favourite ‘H.A.T.E U’ has now been confirmed as her next single, this despite a video having already been shot for ‘I Want To Know What Love Is’ as well as the many promo performances she done for the song. Word has it Mariah and her team were unimpressed with the final edit of the Hype Williams directed video, hence the hold up. Is it me, or is this project becoming more of a mess with each passing day?
I can’t view it (not that I’m all that interested, but still.) And no Sam, it is not you. The project IS becoming more of a mess as time goes by.
lol was she staggering on her entrance..leave tht wine alone MC
this album is so good!it’s sad it’s flopping…
It’s not you Sam and this will flop harder than Glitter. This era is a mess for MOIA. IWKWLI is a flop so theyh are switching gears. By the time HATU comes out, I fear it will be too late. MOIA will struggle to go gold by xmas.
She needs to stop trying to live like a 20yr old and make mature music and ditch the diztzy,dumb blond image….and while u at it, less alcohol Mariah, really
you know its so funny how you blame her falling on alcohol. when beyonce fell or anyone for that matter were they drinking? has anyone ever noticed the pounds mariah is putting on. have you ever thought just for once that mariah may be with child? think about it. Jay walked her off the set, i mean come on. she was holdong her mid section as she sat down and a lot during the interveiw. even when she stood up she was standing in a way like she was hiding something. mariah has been wearing all black when she has been on camera and at shows. its only a matter of time before we know. all celebs do the same thing. they hide being pregnant until they cant hide it anymore.
as far as the album, its sad that its not doing well, but it is all bad single choices. the cd is not bad at all, but i do agree mariah needs to make music for her real fans and they are the adults. you young kids still 20-23 16-19 claim your mariah fans and the only thing you can say is the mimi era. im 29 yrs old and have been her #1 fan since 1990 when i was 9. Mariah needs to take a break and come back with music like she did back then. live bands and mature lyrics will put mariah back at a level of major respect as a singer.
sad thing is you all dont understand what it may be like to have all that fame and watch yourself get older and fade away, while a new generation comes in. so cut her a break. i mean you give whitney a break and damnit whitney was sayin to her fans f!@k you while she was getting high. so cut it out.
MOIA is possibly my fav cd of this year rivaling In Love & War.. H.A.T.E.U should’ve been pushed as the second single from jump.. It would have gotten tons of play and the remix would’ve solidified Urban Radio.. I hope she jumps on this album instead of scrapping it. It is looking like a mess Sam, but so did B’day before Irreplaceable if u remember. (Nd I’m a HUGE B fan)
Mariah’s new CD is TRASH. I’m being honest with you: I’m a big Whitney fan, but I’m also a Mariah fan. But the way she’s handling her CD and the way she’s handling herself is just sad & pathetic. Look at the way she dresses. She sounds a hot mess when she’s singing live and needs a f*cking backing track for the easiest note…I mean WTF? I hate to say this, but Mariah – it’s officially over for you. Come back in 3-4 years when people start to miss you and strike a big comeback (even though you just tried that 4 years ago) the way Miss Whitney Houston did. And please, do it with the class of a 40-year-old woman. Stop dressing like a w**** and take some vocal lessons before your voice deteriorates. Right now you are more of an embarrassment to watch – on your music videos, public appearances, you look like a w****. Where was the Mariah of the 90s, who used to just sing without gimmicks? If you don’t change any of these your career is officially over. Whitney came back with 300k first week sales – some people said it’s just the hype – but she’s actually OUTSELLING Mariah by a margin of 700k right now. And two months after her release date Whitney is actually still selling way better than Mariah based on weekly sales. QUALITY of the album matters but the way you handle yourself with CLASS also matters.
Shut up “Stop Dressing” Nutbag acting like a fan. Mariah slipped becasue of the small step there. you can hardly notice the damn step. Anyway it was a great interview.
luv mariah carey
CD … flop
New single … flop
LMAO
Let’s look at some figures
First week sales
Whitney: 305k Mariah: 160k
Number of weeks since album was out:
Whitney: 8 weeks and about to reach Platinum Mariah: 5 weeks…not even going gold LMAO
Total sales for “I Look To You” and “Memoirs”
Whitney: over 700k Mariah: below 300k (not even bigger than Whitney’s first week sales)
This week’s sales:
Whitney (#32) 15,518 Mariah (#33) 15,239
A few years ago, whenever Whitney’s fans brought up the topic “Mariah lipsynchs”, usually lambs respond with “Yeah whatever, Mariah still sells albums, Whitney is a has-been”. Look at what’s happening now. MARIAH is not selling albums, hardly reaching 300k which was Whitney’s first week sales. Meanwhile, WHITNEY is going platinum and sounds 50 times more amazing than Mariah’s half-lipped trashy performances.
By the way, Whitney is performing better than Mariah right now on the charts – even when Whitney’s new album has been out for months. Mariah is flopping HARD. Real hard. LMAO!!!
Do you know why people aren’t buying your album?
Because it is F*CKING BORING except for that Obsessed track which is CRAP!!!!!!!!!
F–K the whitney fans, Mariah LOOKS BETTER, SINGS BETTER, and CAN HIT THEM HIGH NOTES ONLY BIRDS CAN, so all you whitney fans go smoke crack like your idol!!!!!!!!!! HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!
The table has turned. Lambs have totally forgotten that she managed to produce only 1 hits album for the last a decade. Therefore, I can say Mariah Carey has passed her prime and she will join the list of artists like Tina, Barbra, Celine, Madonna, Diana Ross and Aretha Franklin. And the most importantly she s still dress up like a 16 yo pole dancer who caught up in her own world and never listened to anyone except herself.
Ageism sucks and sad……. but true!!!!
