Official: Mariah’s ‘Angel’s Advocate’ Shelved

Published: Sunday 21st Mar 2010 by Sam

Following our exclusive report on the cancellation of Mariah Carey’s ‘Angel’s Advocate’ LP, there has, today, emerged fresh reports indicating the record has officially been shelved. Prior to now an air of silence has plagued suggestion of the album’s axe, with calls to Carey’s rep going unanswered. However, as per CD Now‘s updated listings, ‘Advocate’ page, which previously indicated a  March 30th store date, now reads ‘Released Cancelled’. Ouch.

——————————————-

It appears ol’ Mimi’s team are set to quietly pretend this remix LP was ever in the pipeline, which – truth be told – shouldn’t prove too difficult; as no one knew/cared for the album in its original form (see: ‘Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel’ and its sales).

At this junction, it’s perhaps best Mariah gather herself together, re-assess her musical output, and hit us with something worth buying/playing a few years down the line. A serious image assessment during this period too wouldn’t go amiss either.

Your thoughts?

    I know that’s right. I dont know what has been going on with Mariah but I hope it turns around for her. She’s such a wonderful singer and a creative artist. I think she tried to ‘keep up’ with everyone else. Maybe she needs to revisit her days with JD….he was the one who produced emancipation of mimi. Or she should take a break and experience married life…it might give her something else to sing about. Love her though.

  2. Dominique March 21, 2010

    So this means no “Angels Advocate” album? oh no.. I wanted to buy it 🙁

  3. ImYourStar702 March 21, 2010

    What a waste of time and money…smh

  4. Freelandmeis March 21, 2010

    I wanted to hear the Its A Wrap Remix with Mary J Blige. They should make it like a mixtape release.

  5. Freelandmeis March 21, 2010

    Plus that ain’t fair to the collaborators who invested their time in the album

  6. Dave March 21, 2010

    Mariah is not creative, i don’t know what you are thinking Ha! She is/was an exceptional singer, who made quality music, & wrote like all her songs, that is all. Creative… not really

  7. AalexisR (The Bahamas) March 21, 2010

    Oh well. Who cares. Really.

  8. nishielle March 21, 2010

  10. OSO_Deluxe Edition March 21, 2010

    DAMN!!!!
    so it’s not gonna leak….
    I hope it does…someone answer me plz! is there any chance that it’ll leak!
    anw Sam….Memoirs was soooooooooo good,better than E=MC2 but Obsessed sucked
    sales ain’t nothing but numbers….when will u learn

  11. junior_bl March 21, 2010

    I hope the tracks leak still- I had no intention of buying it but I still wanna hear it

  12. Kevin March 21, 2010

    alright…like i said i am a LAMB.

    but i am sooooooooooooooooooooo happy this isn’t getting released. The only thing she should do is release it as a mixtape for free. That makes it very ‘for the fans’ and just giving them a fresh take on memoirs of an imperfect angel.

    However I must say that MIMI should keep doing songs like obsessed. It was a terrible ‘song’ and we know she can do better, but it was a hit nevertheless. We know she can do better vocals on her CD, so that’s what we buy it for, but pop songs like obsessed are a way for her to stay relevant in everyday radio! (H.A.T.E.U. Angels Cry, IWKWLI were all AMAZING songs/vocals but didn’t do well because that’s not the kind of music that is trending!)

  13. Slick March 21, 2010

    Wow, well I hope its fo the better. I luv Mariah, but she wasnt producing the spark this time around. I think people are more interested in disposable music and thats not really her strenght (thats not to say she cant produce an amazing upbeat song). Despite what many say Memoirs was a good album. I think people will miss her when shes gone, cuz nobody sings a ballad like this woman. And lets face it on our lonely/sad times its her music we all can relate to.

  14. http://citysociety.b*******.com/ March 21, 2010

    she needs to start dressing her age, she turned 41 a few days ago

    check out new music, art, news events, amongst other awesome things http://citysociety.b*******.com/

  15. truth March 21, 2010

    MOORIAH NEEDS TO ASSESS THE FACT SHE’S NO LONGER 25 BUT GOING ON MIDDLE AGE. LOSE THE FREAKIN WEIGHT, DRESS AGE APPROPRIATE, AND THINK CLEARLY ON WHAT A 40+ YR OLD ARTIST SHOULD SOUND LIKE. BETTER STAY BEHIND THE SCENES AND WRITE S*** FOR OTHER ARTISTS AND LEAVE IT AT THAT. HMM, SHE COULD GET BIT PARTS ON TV SHOWS AND FILMS BUT SHE HAS TO LOSE THE NARCISSISSTIC ATTITUDE FIRST! OH, AND STOP EFFING DRINKING WOULD BE A NICE START.

  16. BEYOWULF March 21, 2010

    Poor Mimi 🙁

  17. truth March 21, 2010

    Poor Mimoo J.LO’s new album gonna sell at least double copies of her Memoirs of a FLOP Angel album. Poor Mimoo HAHA

  18. OSO_Deluxe Edition March 21, 2010

    @ LOL what the hell!!!???
    I can’t think of not hearing her anymore…and what’s in your opinion is what a 40 yr old artist should do is stupid,..her voice is a gift she should share with us….
    but yeah less shallow lyrics and more adult stuff…

    I still want to hear it btw!

  19. truth March 21, 2010

    PREDICT SHE WILL BE DUMPED BY DEF JAM ABOUT THE SAME TIME LA REID GETS THE HEAVE HO. GUESS SHE CAN STOP RENOVATIONS ON THAT CALI HOUSE AND DUMP THAT TOO. ISNT SHE WORTH LIKE $150 MIL OR SO? B**** CAN RETIRE. WE DONT NEED TO SEE HER ANYMORE. MR NICK CAREY CAN JOIN THE CLUB OF OUTCASTS!!

  20. OSO_Deluxe Edition March 21, 2010

    LOL J-lo what!!!

  21. ADE March 21, 2010

    lmao shes been flopping all over the shop lately!! oh well…on to the next one!

  22. Tommy Mottola March 21, 2010

    B**** now only could do a GOLD album compared 2 once upon time she could do millennium albums! Get retire out of music industy Mimoo,we don’t need you anymore

  23. Fatima March 21, 2010

    Sam, I really wish you’d stop speaking for people. Memoirs may not have been a commercial smash, but plenty Mariah fans thought it was among the best she’s ever released. According to you, I didn’t care for it though. Thanks for letting me know!

  24. truth March 21, 2010

    PATTI LABELLE SAID MOORIAH IS WRITING A FEW TRACKS FOR HER NEXT ALBUM. NOW IF SHE CAN WRITE GROWN UP A/C S*** FOR MS PATTI, WHY CANT THE FAT B**** WRITE GROWN UP STUFF FOR HERSELF?? NOW THERE’S A QUESTION… SMFH.

  25. Tommy Mottola March 21, 2010

    Everyone knows JLO looks thousand times tham MIMOO both 40 women look at POOR Mimoo looks f****** ugly,overweight and JLO has good style & body. Mimoo sucks

  26. TRUTH March 21, 2010

  30. Bobby D March 21, 2010

    SON OF A B****!

  31. XTINAstan March 21, 2010

    MOORIAH You’re f****** annoying no one would listen 2 your music anyone QUIT the game please

  32. Dilla March 21, 2010

    can’t really blame them for shelving the album, if she’s not careful, she will be next on the train to Jlo land.

  33. theillest March 21, 2010

    They are not going to drop her. I still can’t believe 7 mths in and MOIA hasn’t scanned 500k yet- that is a shocking statement.

    She does need to go away, evaluate what kind of music she wants to make, change her image, lose some weight and quit using rappers. She needs to start singing grown folks music.

    See Whtiney, Sade, sales.

  34. keena March 21, 2010

    BTW, where is TRENT now! your girl is fast becoming irrelevant!

  35. March 21, 2010

    “Poor Mimoo J.LO’s new album gonna sell at least double copies of her Memoirs of a FLOP Angel album.”

    HA.

    jennifer needs to get a single on the damn hot 100 before her album even gets RELEASED, so whatever.

    i adored MOAIA (sam seems to be a fly-by-night mimi fan — he loves her when she’s doing great but when she’s a little down in popularity, he piles on the hate), so i’m really glad she released it. it WAS grown folks music with a little bit of her personality sprinkled in.

    i’m glad angels advocate isn’t being released, though; the “hate u” remix was hot, but the others, not so much. i’m sure she’ll come back in a few years and kill it, though.

    i’d love to see her focus on acting for a while and stretch her range.

  36. March 21, 2010

    and also, she’s still way more musically relevant than the people this site worships, i.e. kelly rowland, kelis, etc.

  37. cash March 21, 2010

    It doesn’t matter what “Memoirs…” sold, because “Memoirs…” will go down as one of her most critically acclaimed albums since the masterpiece that was “Butterfly”. She just needs to release this as a mixtape.

  38. FUSION March 21, 2010

    As a Mariah fan, all I can say is that I’m happy it has been shelved. I agree that Mariah should probably re assess her musical output. However, when it comes to singing and songwriting talent like Mariah’s, its probably not as important for her to have an image change or a total change in musical direction. Mariah is pure class, the public just need a break from her. Good music and true talent does not go away, so Mariah should keep her head down and go out of the spotlight for a while and in a few years come back. She has done that before and it has worked and she can do it again, cos she is real talent. She is not Rihanna, and does not need to rush a new radio friendly pop orientated album out asap to prove a point; Mariah has talent and will rise again, just like she did with Emancipation. Anyone casting doubt on her should sit the f*** down and shut up, cos they will eat their words. She wont have a fake comeback a la Whitney, she will do it again like with Emancipation and prove people wrong. Mariah is at her best when she has a point to prove.

  39. ash jones March 21, 2010

    Just because CD Japan and HMV Japan have called it cancelled doesn’t mean everywhere else has. HMV UK still has it listed for April 26 whilst Target Stores in america have said its due for release on May 4, 2010

  40. keena March 21, 2010

    @ashjones: then that would mean another push back which is just as bad. Waiting to release the album in May in the US makes no sense as Angel’s Cry is just about off the urban ac charts and UOMF will probably definitely be off any charts so propsective sales will be worse.

    No, i’m sticking with cancelled.

    where is the artwork, promo, news, nothing

  41. Ruby March 21, 2010

    This is for the best. Her heart wasn’t in the project and it showed in the songs that were leaked. I hope to hear soon that she’s jumping ship. I think it’s a good idea for her to take some time away from the likelite. Write for other like Patti LaBelle and find herself, her talent again. This the best news I’ve heard about her in a long time.

  42. bobby from bulgaria March 21, 2010

    I don’t see ANYTHING “official” about “shelving” here…

    It just won’t be released on a CD there, so???

    But it WILL be released in another format, I KNOW that… :)))

    ***** Precious Tops DVD Sales Chart *****

    “Precious,” the double Oscar winner about an illiterate Harlem t*** who turns her life around, debuted on home video atop the sales chart released Wednesday.

    The drama, which claimed the No. 1 slot on the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart, was one of three high-profile theatrical releases that made their home-video bows during the week.

    A lesser-known title, “The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day,” debuted at No. 1 on the Nielsen VideoScan Blu-ray Disc chart — and bowed at No. 2 on the overall chart, selling just 18 percent fewer units than “Precious.”

    On Home Media Magazine’s rental chart, neither title could nudge “2012″ from the top spot. The blockbuster disaster movie easily held on to the No. 1 position, with rental demand down just 22 percent from the previous week.

    “Precious” debuted at No. 3 on the rental chart, behind the comedy “Up in the Air,” while “Boondock” bowed at No. 8.

  43. RATED x March 21, 2010

    Mariah Carey needs to stop trying to compete when them half ass non singing chicks out there..none of these chicks can compete with her talent.she just needs to go away for a while, so we the fans can miss her.and when she comes back, she needs to bring it hard.

  44. Bobby D March 21, 2010

    Thanks, Ash! Didnt realize there was still a little bit of hope. I wanna hear the album regardless

  45. RATED x March 21, 2010

    are people actually calling mariah fat?..man please what does her looks got to do with her talent..at leasts she doesnt have to spread eagle on every magazine to sell an album.
    mariah carey always being dressing the way she is now..shes comfortable with her body.
    please alot of people on here if they had a chance they would sell their mama soul to have her body.
    people always got some s*** to say when it come to real artist..

  46. niki March 21, 2010

    I am sorry to hear that. However she has been so successful she has nothing to prove. If I was her I would just enjoy making music. You have another group of people buying music. I have always loved Mariah, but I am more into the newer kids on the block like Beyonce, Rihanna, and others Ten years from now that will probably change and when it does these ladies will have nothing to prove either. Its always amazes me that people talk s*** about females in the industry when they are at the top and talk even more s*** about them when there hit making time is up. Say what you want but you can not take a damn thing from Mariah. Keep your head up Meme. Damned if you do damned if you don’t

  47. Justin_sofly March 21, 2010

    I dont why people feel sorry for MC that chick has enough money to support a f***** country just because one album didnt do so well please she aint worried about it, you still see her around smiliing. memiors of an imperfect angel was a good album they shouldnt have release that song for the second single i would have released H.A.T.E U something her young and older fanbase could relate to or angels cry. there is know doubt the girl is talented she can out sing everybody in the game today including beyonce’ i know that might stir things up with her stans/fans but she can so. mariah has sold millions of cds hell she could retire and do movies or start her own label. ps. i still be bumpin the Emncipation of mimi

  48. Bisnca March 21, 2010

    Everybody on here hating on Mariah, needs to go crawl back up their mommas ass and stay there!

    Mariah is the best there will ever be, and just because she not on top dont mean s*** cos she still owning the charts and she still doin better than people half her age! she competing with people half her age and she holding it down best as she can!

    f*** all yall who hating cos Mariah gonna stay makin her money and doing what she do, while yall broke ass stay behind computer hating she gonna be on TV shining and in the studio making songs regardless if it sells big or small she still getting paid at the end of the day!

    Memoirs a good album just poor single selection and promo was not right. Angels Advocate woulda been a great album had MC done more promo! she had a list of hit makers on the roster, she just didn’t have a good team backing her making sure mfs was promoting the album every chance she got!

    Mariah is #1 and she gonna stay #1, the Lady Gagas and Beyonce’s are temporary fads, they wont make it past 2012 hahahah!

  49. Music Lover March 21, 2010

    As a lamb, I’m glad this album was shelved. I loved the album, but it’s just not the “trendy” pop, auto tune music that is in these days. I agree she should take a break. After a few years and some kids, she should come back. She proved she could make a comeback, and she can again. Everyone knows there isn’t anyone that has her vocal skills. When artists have #18 number one songs and have sold more than 175 million albums, then we can compare them to Mariah, until then STFU, you’re only embarrassing yourselves with those pitiful comparisons.

  50. ALLNIGHTDONTSTOP2010 March 21, 2010

    Honestly I think its the best decision they could have ever made @ this point. Her team doesnt want another flop under their hands so they choosing not to release it . Mariah should just take a good three year break and create another master time piece and GET THE F*** AWAY FROM DEFJAM they are not doing anything but helping tarnish her legacy and I dont want that with Mariah.

  51. casmir March 21, 2010

    Yes, she needs to get a way from the rapper collaborations, enough already .She’s sounds redundant and remixing and remixing, please! She needs to work with producers with diverse musical backgrounds. I’ve written before, like Babyface, Quincy, imagine a MC and Prince collaboration – the possibiities. And yes, she needs a new image consultant. The over-top, marilyn monroe, diva thing is no longer cute. And if she can’t walk in high heels lower them. Why is it that every other women on those award shows with the same height in heels can walk without help. Not funny, it’s now embarrassing. She by far the most skilled vocalist among her peers and then some, but she seems to be scattered. She needs to refocus. Also, just in case MC & NC read this – it’s time that Nick stops that toothy grin – it always reminds me of the old actor – ‘Step & Fetch-it’. Never heard of him? Look at old movies with slow talking blacks who would break out in a ridulous smile when his white ‘massa’ came around. NC is good looking, dresses impeccably and is clearly a smart guy, who has the smarts and the ability to rise to the level of Jay Z, Diddy, Smith. Both of them need to take stock . . .

  52. X(Chris) March 21, 2010

    Stop the hate! Mariah is the most successful female artist of all time!
    I was dying for the MC & MJB track:( But OK maybe this will be for the best… she takes a long break and returns and shows them wannabe’s how it’s done.

  53. ash jones March 21, 2010

    @ Keena: I am not a lamb nor have i ever been. But by basic journalism standards it is irrisponisble of That Grape Juice to call the album shelved based up CD Japan and HMV Japan when HMV UK (which is much more credible) says the album is released April 26 and Target Stores say the album is due May 4 following the release of another single (most likely “Ribbon ft The Dream and Ludacris”). Even Universal Music Japan says the album is out March 31.

    Whether you’re a lamb or not you should wait and see what the true extent of the album’s release is. personally i reckon it will recieve a limited itunes only release worldwide and will truly be a fan/personal release. i think it will also be her last album with Island/Def Jam. I dont think she will stay now that Jennifer Lopez has moved to the same label as her. I think Mariah Carey will suddenly find herself signing a new deal with Sony Music (perhaps with Lopez’s former label Epic Records, J Records or even Sony Music Records itself)

  54. Kevin March 21, 2010

    @ASHJONES

    lets hope Columbia. Can you say beyonce/mariah label mates!?

  55. ~Team Weezy~ March 21, 2010

    This is no surprise! I was actually more surprised when they even considered releasing a Remix LP! I don’t get it, why would you release a Remix album, when the original album beyond flopped, which is an understatement! Smh. Well, I always thought Mariah was trying too hard to be an artist she’s not and quite frankly I think she jacked up her legacy from it. I mean she’ll always be that phenomenal artist who [DOMINATED] the top of the charts in the 90’s but overextending your career, or lack thereof, is just not a smart move on her part! Well, good luck to her anyway!

  56. James March 21, 2010

    All the “remixes” on the Angels Advocate album sounded almost exactly the same as the versions on the original album, bar a few of them such as H.A.T.E.U remix. Its a shame the album won’t see the light of day though as its a knockdown for Mariah. Mariah Carey has an album that’s SHELVED… WOAH!!! Its pretty big news really.

    p.s. I take back what I said about some of the remixes sounding the same, some of them sounded WORSE! The whole Memoirs album was s*** anyway. Why would anyone want to hear it again? First the Sugababes, now Mariah.

  57. Melike March 21, 2010

    i Love you mariah !! She is amazingly fabulous, all her songs are outstanding and beat any songs which are out now coming from many crap artists.
    Haters need to get a life..
    how jealous can people be wow its terriblie.
    do you think she cares what you negative self obsessed people have to say about her no.
    so shut your ugly grids and sort your own lifes out you gang of jokes :).

  58. Brian March 21, 2010

    HI MIKE LMMFAO!!!!

    TRENT WASSUP DUDE!!!!

  59. Raychel March 21, 2010

    Keep your head up mariah. I was gonna buy that daggone album 🙁 I love memoirs. I hope you put out more music soon 😀

  60. Fat, drunk, and ugly, Mariah! March 21, 2010

  61. Kelendria March 21, 2010

    Mariahs lazy FAT ass should focus on having a brat now she still can. Go Away

    Whitney your voice is DEAD. You are yesterday and have no bizzniss to todays music. Go back to your pipe where u belong

    Its all about KELLY ROWLAND biches. Watch how she snatch all your favorites weaves. Her new album is gonna be fukccing hot!

  62. YouPutTheLimeInTheCoconut March 21, 2010

    ^^ I agree with you on both Mariah and Whitney, both they old tired asses need to sit the hell down. However, Kelly Rowland’s flop ass is just as wack as those two, if not more.

  63. Jenny_Hitz March 21, 2010

    Memoirs is great…deserves more attention than tis…STOP hating! u haters GO AWAY! u dunnno wat ru f &^%$ talkin about wen u dont own the CD itself!

    Her voice is perfect and the remix album wud been a great follow up- i was login to her all the collabs…oh well, i hav to wait n hear on a different version of release then….

  64. Shafiq March 21, 2010

    Hey Lambs!

    I tried reching out to @clighty on twitter regarding MC’s Angels Advocate.

    This was what i tweeted:

    @clighty whats up with MC’s angels advocate? why is ur camp keeping silent despite reports of it being cancelled! RESPOND

    He then responded me via DM n this was what he said!

    We are coming with a new album and with the turMoil at the label this is the better approach.

    Ooo As we speak..he sent me another DM:

    Album isn’t coming out. In traditional form. More concerned about next studio album.

    Bt hey diff outlook now

  65. Kevin March 21, 2010

    posted this 2x before….can’t hurt to fit it in.

    Before I begin, I want to say that I am a lamb if there ever was one. I buy all of the music that I have from her %100 legally, and stream her music videos on Yahoo whenever I can, so as to raise her Billboard ratings. I have all of her CD’s and listen to all of them. As a matter of fact, Memoirs is in my car’s CD player right now.

    my suggestions for taking mariah carey’s name back on top (a lot of these are copied from others’ posts)–
    It’s a uphill battle for her. she is still cranking out amazing music, but single choices (H.A.T.E.U. and IWKWLI were AMAZING songs, but terrible singles) were NOT good for the radio. They’re flopping left and right, except for Obsessed, which got old, fast, because people got bored of it. Her whole mentality on music has to change. She’s not the same as the 90’s. She (along with those around her!) cannot simply assume that her name on an album will be enough to get people to buy it. She can’t be trying to make others’ careers, she has to be humble and get hits the old fashioned ways.

    Before coming back to her music career, first get into a movie that’s more crowd pleasing. After her amazing bout of acting in Precious (granted, it only lasted for 10 minutes), casting directors are sure to take her. Precious was good, but not a lot of teenagers went to see it.

    When back to music she should…
    1. leave IDJ. right away. no way that relationship can go on. It’s like they are TRYING to get Mimi to leave them.

    2. JOIN Columbia. AMAZING artists signed to Columbia, including Beyonce and Susan Boyle. Any big label would work, but there’s a specific reason Columbia’s the way to go.. (see #3)

    3. Mariah Carey and Beyonce Knowles on an up-beat break-up single (something like Standing O). If I were L.A. Reid, I’d have gotten Beyonce on Standing O for Angels Advocate and released THAT as a single. But, that’s why she should leave IDJ (see #1!). There is a reason that she won 6 Grammys, it’s because EVERYONE loves her. Listen to interviews, they always praise each other, so I’m sure they would be excited to work together.

    4. Kick Tricky Stweart and The Dream to the curb. There comes a point where the same process of overlapping choruses so that she appears to have a duet with her own voice on nearly every song gets really, really old. Go back to Jermaine Dupri. Mimi and JD need to collaborate again, because they make hits. Jermaine Dupri is history’s most successful R&B producer for a reason, and Mimi needs the best.

    5. Once the proposed Beyonce single was out, get Lil’ Wayne on board for another single. OR if she and her label were feeling super ballsy, get one with Eminem. I think they are both atrocious to the highest degree, but they are really, really popular. Obviously, a single with Eminem would have buzz, because of their overly publicized feud (since when has buzz done a single bad?). Hell, they could even have a song that’s about forgiveness or something, alluding to their forgiven feud. That sounds corny, but with 3 GREAT song writers (Mariah, JD, and Eminem), I think that they could make it work. Lil’ Wayne is featured on tons of songs (Down by Jay Sean, for one), and If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. If she had Eminem on a song, Mimi should still get Lil’ Wayne on the album, just not as a single.

    6. Assuming that those two singles did AT LEAST moderately well, (TOP 10 would be a BLESSING, for the way she’s been doing so far) put out a JD-produced song without a featured artist.

    See how that goes. If that fails, put out a greatest hit CD with some new singles, go on a goodbye tour and call it quits. Keep acting, but don’t go crazy. IMO, if that 6 part plan weren’t to work, I literally have no clue what could bring her success, musicaly.

    Exclusive: Angels Advocate Album Update

    MariahDailyJournal is able to confirm that the Angels Advocate album, a Remixed edition of Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel will not be released, as announced, on Tuesday, March 30th.

    According to Mariah’s management, the album will not be put out in the regular album fashion but they are working on releasing some singles off the album. “It won’t go to waste,” we were assured.

    Mariah and her team have their focus set on the next album and how to put this out creatively and financially effective. “We are looking to go possibly to another studio album or Christmas album. The decision hasn’t been totally made yet. It’s a creative process that cannot be rushed.”

    It is funny how you lambs have to drag Whitney into Mariah’s failure. Whitney may have done drugs in the past, but vocally, she was always a better singer then Mariah. Whitney’s latest album is a success, so don’t drag her down with Mariah. Whitney is one of the best live performers of our time. Mariah doesn’t even sing live, and her recorded vocals are so full of studio trickery til it’s ashame. Whitney has sold over 170mill albums, with only 6 studio albums, compared to Mariaha’s 12. To me, Whitney’s numbers look more impressive, because she has far less albums. Just shows you how powerful of a force Whitney is in music. Mariah doesn’t make classics. Half of her #1 hits were results of payola and illegal single discounting. Yall better learn the truth about Mariah.

    Disappointed but not entirely surprised. Guess that means the Jumpsmokers remix album is shelved too (which i was really looking forward to). What a waste of time and effort on everyones behalf.
    Mariah, honey- i’ve been a faithful lamb for 20 years but you really need to sort it out. Personally i really enjoyed MOAIA, it was back to basics, lyrically sound and vocally more organic than the last few albums but if you want an album to sell units these days you really need to get out there and promote it. I was lucky enough to go to Vegas and see her show at the Pearl in October 2009-It was brilliant and intimate but at £200 per ticket- I wonder how many of her fans she actually reached and how many of those tickets sold translated into further album sales…Evidently…not many!! Here’s an idea. Take a year off. Live life a bit, visit a few countries, play some small, free gigs around the world, get some inspiration and write, write, write. Produce the next album yourself (no JD/Dream/assorted rappers) Dump Defjam/Island and either go back to a major label or start your own one again and release an album that’s gonna make everyone sit up and notice. We (fans) know that you’re more than capable of it. I just think she has way too many people telling her whats best and what image she needs to shift units when the fact is she is one of the most gifted singer/songwriters of my generation (i’m 36!). Okay! Rant over.XX

    Mariah is the sh**. It’s a lot of haters on this site. I messed with her past two albums and was looking forward to this one. HATERS BE QUIET

  74. danny April 8, 2010

    I love mariah no matter what. She is still a legend and still is the most successful female artist in recording history AND still has more number one singles than any other solo female artist. Even if she disappears her mark will remain forever. No one can change that…ever…period.

  75. danny April 8, 2010

    BTW…Kevin…ur retarded. Mariah would never and should never go back to Colombia…you DO know who is president of that company…right??? And a duet with emeniem will never and should never happen. LOL and u call urself a lamb. To quote mc…”you’re delusional you’re delusuonal boy your losing your mind!!”

  76. Firas July 10, 2010

    First Of All , Memoir Of An Imperfect Angel is one of the amazing albums that mariah has put out. Its perfect from the beginning to the end. And i think people didn’t buy it because the’re too busy dancing to the Music of Lady Gaga and all the other artists dominating the Music Industry Now! if You give the album a listen ,, u’ll adore it.
    Second of all , I think Angels Advocate’s Was shelved for no reason other than that mariah is working on a Christmas album! Why the hell would she put out 2 albums in one year ?
    At last , I love Mariah No Matter What Kind Of Songs She sings Because there is always something special about it. She is One Great Artist that is no longer defined by Sales And Criticism. She Has her own Empire Of Music that no one EVER can threaten.
