It ain't about "H.A.T.E.R.S." The majority of people who were "complaining" as you say, hinted towards the fact that they were fans actually. I even said, "I love Mariah Carey to death" and I most certainly do. I'm going to see her soon actually. But if you liked the album, that's fine. But it's obviously that an overwhelming majority didn't.

The thing is this. If you put out an album with garbage, it wont sell - period. Word of mouth gets out fast. You can't blame it on piracy. Look at Susan Boyle. Can't blame it on lack of promotion either. MC did more then plenty including "Oprah" just like Whitney and unlike Whitney, Marah even had a top then single on the Hot 100 (Obsessed) and the Memoirs album still flopped!!! What does that tell you. Simply that it sucks. You "lambs" have to accept it.

She needs to pull a card from the Madonna playbook and reinvent herself as artist. In order do that, she needs to let go of "Mimi" and find Mariah again. She needs to embrace her true self and not an image created by her A&R people to appeal to a certain demographic.
