Mariah needs to experience a new sound and reinvent her image to redeem her career. The Emancipation of Mimi was a curtain opener to what we know Mariah can do with her gift and her voice. It would be best if she was to take her career to the extra mile and stop harboring her girly, hip hop RnB roots. Granted, she has proven to the world her 1/3 part of her racial background, but how long can she hold on to it. It is getting a bit tiring to hear slow grooves that pretty much sound the same. I am a dear fan of hers and I just sigh with disappointment with these past records.

Artist nowadays are stepping out of their comfort zone and giving us listeners some awesome ass music. What Mariah can do is figure out what other types of genres can she incorporate in her music and collaborate with other producers other than Jermaine Dupri. Like the saying goes, you have to cut the umbilical cord. If she were to do just that, she would be back in the spotlight, and it would catch her by surprise.
