Well it's safe to say now Memoirs has officially flopped. Read it and weep lambs. I love Mariah too but she had this coming. You can't make lackluster material with little to no effort and expect your fans to come thorugh each time.

Can't blame it on the leaks. Whitney's album was leaked also and it still did better

Can't blame it on the promotion. Both Whitney and Mariah were on Oprah but look who's album did better.

Can't blame it on the singles. Mariah's Obessed was a hit peaking at #7. Whitney had no hit singles.

The bottom line is, Memoirs is garbage. It's all about the material. If WOM is your album sucks, it's not gonna do well. It's that simple.

Mariah needs a long overdue hiatus. I recommend a good 4 years. Maybe she should have a baby with Nick, lose the baby fat, get a tummy tuck, little botox, then head back into the studio to start working on material again. Maybe the time off and the experience of being a new mother will inspire her to produce better material and stop working with these hip-hop producers.

They key to her comeback will be reinvention. Perhaps take a card from the Madonna playbook. She needs to have an epiphany and let go of Mimi. The public wants Mariah back.
