Mariah’s New Singles Fail To Take Off

Published: Monday 8th Mar 2010 by Sam

Things are not looking good for diva Mariah Carey. The 39 year old’s remixes for her ‘Angel’s Advocate’ LP have failed to excite fans,with the lead  singles ‘Up Out My Face’ and the Ne-Yo assisted ‘Angel’s Cry’ failing miserably on the charts.  While ‘Up Out My Face’ peaked disappointingly at #100 on Billboard Hot 100, ”Cry’ embarrassingly never garnered enough airplay or downloads to even debut on the chart. Ouch!

This era is quickly descending into a hot burning mess for our Mimi. It’s all rather sad. With the Oscar buzz around ‘Precious’, as well as her other projects, it’s a bit baffling as to why she’d opt not to just concentrate on those (forgetting and hoping we did too) the epic flop that was ‘Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel’). Instead she’s subjecting herself to more embarrassment by lazily releasing a half-baked remix record. I really do not know who or what is helping her make these ill-informed decisions, but…

Your thoughts?

  3. ImYourStar702 March 8, 2010

    She needs to take Nicki minaj off that song, im sorry but shes not a good rapper..

  4. Blasian March 8, 2010

    Well I knew that the songs are to Urban. Mariah and her team need to understand Music is changing this isn’t 2005 MC needs a BIG sounded song same for Usher. Just R&B Music isn’t cutting it sorry to say

  5. Drey2R4U March 8, 2010

    Poor Mimi she just ain’t cuttin it anymore. I didn’t enjoy Memoirs at all

  6. king March 8, 2010

    omg, lmbo at the chrissy gif!

    Yes, Mimi, this era is a mess! 4 singles that flopped. Take a break and come back in 2 years. Dej Jam will have to buy back a ton of albums for a decent openning week.

    This is bad and she has been highly visible, no excuses except people are not feeling her even r&b nt playing her.

  7. Stoney-Brie March 8, 2010

    OMG I LUV THAT SONG THO NOT MARIAH I FEEL BAD 4 HER..

  8. Blasian March 8, 2010

    MC should stop letting one person do her album. Don’t get me Wrong The Dream is great but he doesn’t need to do a whole album I don’t think no Producer should do a whole album

  9. 12345 March 8, 2010

    ok that gif cracked me up xD

  10. Bobby D March 8, 2010

    I myself enjoyed Memoirs, and am pretty excited about the remix LP. The fact that she isnt doing well on the charts right now doesnt matter to the fans. we just enjoy the fresh tracks, regardless of airplay of how well others dig it. Cant wait for the jumpsmokers remix LP though thats gonna be so tight!

  11. A Hater! March 8, 2010

    Oh no trent im sorry? Isn’t it you who’s the fail? a Grown man being a b**** boy to the site owner?! Now that’s not a real job in this world! #DONTHATETHECAKE. So What if Mariah flopped harder than Plastic bags at wallmart. At least her material is legitimate and not sloppy jlo seconds that you robb from other bloggs. You copy me?! If not I really can spell it out and even draw it for you if you like.

    PLEASE note that you are a complete d*** head and every post you make is compiled of the biggest bull s*** for miles around

    HIS MOMMA R*** HIM ERRY NIGHT!

  17. Pinkpop March 8, 2010

    “Cry ” is such a beautiful song…and it’s not too much R&B… can’t understand that it failed… it was obvious for that other s**t though

  18. March 8, 2010

    was this even necessary? did it offer up any (real) news?
    this is just another excuse for you to hate on mariah.
    i adored memoirs and i don’t give a f*** how much it sold.
    its one of the best albums in her career and if people don’t get that, then tough for them.

    maybe if you’d get your mouth out of kelly rowland and whitney houston’s c******* once in a while, we’d get less “editorial” articles and more real news

  19. Fat, drunk, and ugly, Mariah! March 8, 2010

  24. ANONYMOUS March 8, 2010

    MEMOIR IS JUST AN EFFING MEMOIR. NO ONE GIVES A F*** ABOUT PAST D-LIST MESS!! MOORIAH IS OVER, SHE’S DONE. SHE’S BETTER OFF DOING A WEIGHT LOSS ENDORSEMENT THAN ANYTHING IN MUSIC OR MOVIES. SIT YO FAT ASS DOWN!!!!

  25. B Rad March 8, 2010

    I am a long time fan but I do believe that MC should take a break from music for a minute. She should go have a baby, focus on acting for a bit, and allow people to miss her musically. Also, she needs new management and probably a new label. I think that she needs to go away and be inspired as opposed to just throwing out music every year. She needs to understand quality is more important that quantity. Sade can be gone for a decade and come back and sell 1 million albums in 1 month. MC can do the same but her next outing needs to be very carefully planned because this era started off wrong.

  26. Rafael March 8, 2010

    LMAO @ Christina – CLASSIC!!! does anymore remember Mariah-Christina beef back then?
    Mariah needs to sit down and think about her future moves

  27. parisian girl March 8, 2010

  29. Chad March 8, 2010

    Pls sum1 expl da xtina thing im not folowin. Thanx

  30. Dave March 8, 2010

    Dead @ the Chrissy shade. Mariah does need to sit down. She’s just not doing it like she used to anymore, & she needs to learn her lesson, if it failed time & time again, give it a rest. MOVE ON, do something that’s working for you. Don’t try to remix what never was popping in the 1st place. U remix songs that we’re good, & you want to make better. You capitalize on what’s the best & already working for you. Not try to save what’s plummeted miserably.

  31. nickii March 8, 2010

    LMAO @ the gif lol!

  32. Jon March 8, 2010

    HAHAHAHAA!!!!!!

    THIS ERA IS FILLED WITH ALL KINDS OF FAIL!!!

    TRENT U MAD HON?!?!?!

  33. YouPutTheLimeInTheCoconut March 8, 2010

    Sam, the Xtina gif is perfect for this. Mariah is paying for all the shade she’s thrown at her, J.Lo, Madonna, Janet, and god knows how many other artists. She really isn’t a good person when you really think about it, and that’s why her career is slowly coming to an end.

    Karma is a b****, b****!

  34. Raychel March 8, 2010

    So what if you think mariah flopped. I love her album I love her remixes I love her and always will so screw off you can say she flopped all you want. You dont have to like her music… forreal Im tired of people always going crazy over album sales. Its the music that counts. and to me her music rocks!!

    So who cares if its not selling! Who cares if YOU think its a flop. I appreciate good music.

  35. Brian March 8, 2010

    It don’t matter where Whitney’s song is charting (even though i HATE WORTH IT….FLOP CITY)!!!! She’s making millions in touring now, she could care less.

    Mimi reminds me of Lisa Wu Hartwell…involved in all these “money making projects” yet she ain’t makin a dime on any of em. House got foreclosed, husband ain’t got a job. MiMi learn to maximize your profits on one thing. You’re makin a fool of yourself and your bat krazy lambs. They come up with ALL the excuses in the world as to why you’re bombing all over the world.

    Poor thang even got on Yahoo’s Worst Dressed List for the Oscars…LMAO!!

    THATHATEJUICE

    PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES TO GROW BETTER

  37. Tae March 8, 2010

    Mariah Carey is one of the greatest singers of all time. WE NEED TO STOP CONCENTRATING ON ALBUM SALES AND MORE ON THE CONTENT OF MUSIC THAT IS WHY THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS WHAT IT IS…IT HAS BECOME ALL ABOUT ALBUM SALES…LETOYA KELLY ROWLAND MARIAH BRANDY ALL HAD FANTASTIC RECORDS THAT WERE SERIOUSLY UNDERATED AM I GOING TO DOWN GRADE HER TALENT FOR THAT NO IM GOING TO ENJOY THE MUSIC AND FEEL SORRY FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD THAT DIDNT HEAR SUCH GREAT CONTENT….

  38. MushyLove_1992 March 8, 2010

    Mariah is the greatest! That is all…

  39. number1k9 March 8, 2010

    That Christina Aguilera gif is FUNNY AS HELL, with their “drama” hahahahaha

    But where the hell is “Glam” been, waiting on that single too!

  40. GeeMan March 8, 2010

    I personally like memiors but honestly the pushbacks, the wrong single choices recession special videos weak management and weak to half ass performances is not cutting it. Also the industry has changed the legends have work just as hard as the newbies on the scene. The people mentioning Jlo and others their careers are on the same level at this point. As for the comments about Mimi and Lisa from ATLHW they are in different 2 leagues Mimi has 20 yrs worth of money her husband is a radio personality TV personality Television executive and Ceo of his own production company, and an actor. So there is no comparsion Mimi is a world famous singer songwriter business woman with an accessory line purfume line wine and champagne brand. Lisa and Ed are only famous from their show and his in and outs in the NFL. As for Whitney things are getting better but her comeback came and went and being snub by grammys proved it The comments of Whitney”s comeback topping Mimi”s can rest because it didn’t happen not being a hater because I love Whitney too just stating the reality. Honestly Mariah needs to take a break then comeback refreshed with strong material worth her talent and sing with honesty and passion like she used to. Also she needs a new personal and professional image. This is coming from a 20 yr Mimi fan.

  41. Fat, drunk, and ugly, Mariah! March 8, 2010

    Mooriah is poop! ThatGrapeJuice, got the scoop!

  42. Kevin March 8, 2010

    IDJ is failing. Mariah Carey is amazing, as always..Her music is as good as ever, I think.

    Lemme give you an example:

    Mariah Carey and Rihanna are on teh same label! Did you know that?!

    Well, Mariah’s CD comes out March 30. Kid’s Choice Awards: March 27. Pretty amazing timing to get Mariah on the stage, right? Well, nope. because RIHANNA will be performing, not Mariah. She’s in a lose-lose situation. Her management and label are doing NOTHING for her. If she does not leave IDJ after these flops I will be EXTREMELY disappointed.

  43. Rob March 8, 2010

    I am a lamb and its sad its really sad. I don’t understand why some of the fans are in denial and pointing the finger its Mariah’s fault. At the end of the day she is the one who can’t sing well live anymore, overindulges, gains too much weight, wears unflattering clothing, and refuses to grow up subsequentially losing respect.

  44. Mr.727 March 8, 2010

    @ B Rad! You are absolutely right on! She needs to stop working with the Dream, Tricky Stewart because they’re not producers that can guarantee her groundbreaking success! She needs to really take time to find her center, view her old songs and material, reflect on her previous albums and go back to her roots! Columbia is where is needs to return to! It is where she stared an it is where she is going to have success again! I will keep saying it til I turn Black-blue in the face, Music is going back to it’s humble beginnings, it is coming back to a place where the music spoke for itself, not shaking your ass to prove you are a singer! I’ve watched youtube videos of when she first started, she was very eloquent, focused, dedicated to her craft! Now she has let the fame go to her head, she has allowed her talent to be toileted to utter oblivion! I pray that she has and epiphany an realize that her soul and R&B influences is where she had the most success! If she keeps doing the dumb down s*** to please the current treads, in 3 to 4 years she will be a has been str8 up!!! I love MC, But I have to be real as to how she has handled her last 2 albums, which honestly was her worse material to date! MarIah please look at the first album, go back to when you first stared and please brings us your incredible song writing skills, open your mouth and pour your heart and soul into your music again!

  45. MushyLove_1992 March 8, 2010

    @Kevin

    What a minute? Mariah is apart of “ToeJam”?

  46. Rob March 8, 2010

    One other thing,

    Xtina has no grounds to talk. She is irrelevant now, kids these days don’t even know who she is and she’s a lazy ass artist. Whenever her labum comes out(10 years from now probably) she’s going to have to work EXTRA hard cuz Lady Gaga, Beyonce and co are not playing. Mark my words Xtina’s album will flop too but she won’t even have a single half as sucessful as Obssessed! LMFAO

  47. Dave March 8, 2010

    Rob, Christina didn’t say nothing “SAM” posted the gif not Christina. He used that as shade because Mariah snubbed a lot of artist, who basically without her saying, in so many ways she was saying they we’re irrelevant, now pity Mariah because her efforts & her are becoming more than irrelevant. & last I checked Christina has a HIGHLY ANTICIPATED album coming out this year, even according to billboard. Christina “Lift Me Up” live performance got so many honors on youtube in Music. It even scored #1 for a time being. Christina is far for irrelevant. If anything NOW, Mariah wishes she was @ where Christina is at. Don’t get mad @ Christina because she constantly reinvents herself & makes great music, when Mariah tries to stay in the same boring lane, re-inventing what she already did time & time again, & wound up flopping horribly. Christina is an amazing artist,model, writer, vocalist & performer & so much more.. She has nothing to hate on as far as Mariah AT THIS POINT, thee end. & if & when Christina album shits on Mariah’s current album in sales & everything else, look stupid for me please.

  49. Rob March 8, 2010

    Dave Xtina don’t reinvent s***!
    She only had 3 albums in over 10 years LAME.
    She tried to steal Lady Gaga’s style and diss her and got OWNED.
    Don’t come with that fraud.
    And the whole Mariah/Xtina debacle was cuz she put MC’s name in her mouth and then back tracked saying she didnt mean to upset her LMAO -B**** why you talking shiz then? Especially since in 99 when she first came out saying how Mariah was her idol and her mom said she was crying when she saw Mariah winning an award.
    She will never be on MC’s level.
    But there is hope for you I’m sure her film Burlesque will be a bigger flop than Glitter was so there will be something she will beat Maraih at HA!

  50. anonymouss March 8, 2010

    for those of u calling christina lazy…yall r stupid.
    motherhood takes a LOT of time and hard work & thats why all them other b****** (beyonce, mariah) r scared to get pregnant…cuz they know how much work that entails!

  51. JACOB March 8, 2010

    Sam, you are so full of s***

  52. jmoore March 8, 2010

    Ohh!!! LOL at the Xtina shade!

  53. cool chick March 8, 2010

    GOOD

    this little miss piggy diva makes me sick!

  54. Kevin March 8, 2010

    @Mushylove_1992

    Idk if you’re trying to make fun of me….

    but if not, yes Mariah is signed to Island Def Jam….along with front runners Justin Bieber and Rihanna.

  55. G.U.S March 8, 2010

    Memoirs has a good tracks but poor promotion on the world. She need listen her music in the radios, see vídeos on tv and for the NeXT álbum including new sound new r&b, electric, pop, reggeaton, dance something for all people and producers… Redone, David guetta, jd, bryan Michael c**, darkchild, waltter affanaiseff, ryan tedder, bryan Kennedy, quincy jones, mark ronson (rehab amy) make hits!!!!!!!! And featurings…. Beyonce, Michael Jackson, lil wayne, pitbull, will i am or lady ga ga why no? It will be something different and cool a new mariah era but forever and always mimi

  56. Quiana March 8, 2010

    @Mr.727
    This is so true Mariah needs to go back to the 90’s music influence with the songwriting and singing live and the passion she had back in the day. I didn’t know it was beef between x-tina and Mariah. I know about the J.Lo thing, but I didn’t know about x-tina at all. So can somebody tell me what happen between xtina and mariah

  57. Mr.727 March 8, 2010

    Quiana, The reason her and Mariah are beefing is because X-Tina made a comment about her using auto tune in her music! Remember the shirt she had on “Auto-tune is for p******”! The irony off it all is that Mariah is a freaking power house singer , but she has allowed her vocals to be lazy! She won’t have that oomph she once had, but I can see the point X-Tina was making, if you are a real singer you don’t need a vocoder to do the work for you, and we all know that Mariah can sing her ass off, but in today’s music age, you have to have a look minus the talent!!

  58. Blu majiK March 8, 2010

    Sam, DEAD @ the Xtina Gif.!!! a mess.

  59. Cash March 8, 2010

    sam, im going to need you not to hate on her, so much, thanks.

  60. shes cool. March 8, 2010

    Mariah Scores Five Months At #1!

    Congratulations to Mariah for topping the Brazilian Airplay Chart for 20 consecutive weeks with “I Want To Know What Love Is!” Mariah’s cover of the Foreigner classic has been at #1 since October 2009 and it is the biggest hit of 2010 so far in Brazil. “I Want To Know What Love Is” also has the distinction of being the longest chart-topper in the history of the Crowley Broadcast Analysis.

  61. Bobby from Bulgaria March 9, 2010

    Well, I don’t get it with this Christina Aguilera pic…

    Did she say something about Mariah lately…? Did she make a comment…? Hmm… I don’t think so…

    Where’s the point then? Just childish and stupid… Sam, how old are you really…? Are you trying to say something that wasn’t said???

    Now, about Mariah’s singles… Are there any more dumb people left that still think that this is a new album???

    So you keep saying flop this and flop that… But… are you out of your minds?
    This is just another remix album that’s for the fans… Just like “The Remixes”… Which consisted of remixed songs only for the people who wanted something more… That’s not a new album! These are not new songs! It’s just a bonus for the fans… 🙂

  62. ChicoXtina March 9, 2010

    Damn @ The Xtina Gif 😉
    You part of LD?

    Rob & Dave, chill guys….sips tea and watches.

  63. GeeMan March 9, 2010

    Sam the X-tina picture was totally uncalled sometimes your actions lead me to be you do things on your site for hits or shock value it corny and makes you look very queen like not to say if that is your steze its wrong because that’s not my place to judge another persons sexual attraction. I respect the fact you pride your blog on reporting pop culture but the extra slick comments and kicking someones back in is unnecessary. Are you bitter with Def Jam artists for not granting you interviews? Is that reason for the shady actions toward artists like Mimi, Rih Rih and others? I also see you are favoring Sony/J records artists I guess because they are allowing their artists to be interviewed by you. Which is perfectly fine but being rude and bias won’t help matters as far as getting interviews with certain artists. Always remember labels artists managers and others read blogs and report back to the artists.

  64. nickalus Randle March 9, 2010

    its sad because the MUSIC from this cd is TRULY AMAZING !!! really good…
