This may also have alot to do with Dream being a new Executive at island Def Jam and J.D being asked to resign from the same position.

Fact DREAM is extremely talented, supernova talent! I do however feel that Mariah should mix up producers more. neptunes , swizz , dream , jd , rod J ...sounds like a hit already dont it

taking nothing from dream but JD knows what works for Mariah he did do alot of work on The Emancipation album as well, which saw her return to the top!
