Flop.
Unfortunately for the vocal wonder that is Mariah Carey, the word above has clung to her brand like white on rice in the last year, following the difficulty she’s had in pushing her brand new studio album.
Now, after watching its latest launch single shimmy and shake its way out iTunes 1000, the star has cooked up a plot that she no doubt hopes will turn the cut into a streaming hit.
What Mimi‘s got up her sleeve this time?
Full story below…
As to force as many fans as possible to stream new single ‘You’re Mine (Eternal)’, the ‘American Idol’ has launched a contest which sees aspiring singers upload covers of the single to ‘Fusic.’
What they’ll win should they win? An iPad or an iTunes Gift Card.
Sure to drive its potential winners to its official VEVO upload to spin the song before covering it, the competition marks the first bid from the star to rescue the ailing single, doing so before its supporting album’s May 6th release date.
)
As unashamedly diehard Mimi fans, we can’t but feel annoyed at the mess that has been this era.
For, unless Island Def Jam have employed Houdini himself to oversee this project, we’re not sure how anyone can expect it not to sink upon release.
Put simply, if the general public can’t be convinced to buy a $0.99 single from the star, how can she be expected to push enough $10 albums to avoid the backlash she’ll face if it…well…if it flops.
It’s with this mind that we’re hoping May 6th marks the release of a delicately handed ‘mini-album’, and December bringing it with a second half sure to benefit from her annual ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You‘ chart domination!
Poor mariah. she wants that hit so bad 🙁
Does anyone even know the song though? Judging by its position on Itunes no.
The struggle. She want to give away free stuff to get her song some attention. sadly, I don’t even think this will work.
ya game over b**** gatorade wet towel
Beyonce would never stoop to this.
Umm… I don’t think people know the lyrics to a flop song sis.
Yet you just did an interview with Kelly Rowland. If MC is a flop what is Kelly? You’re Mine is a great song i’m confused why it flopped but bridge under the water. I like real music not kathy pop.
She did the same contest with #Beautiful and it went platinum.
Beautiful went Platinum because they used payola as soon as it came out dear.
Even if this was to work it wouldn’t help her on ITunes and people would always know that she had to depend on streaming to get onto the charts.
The album in two halves is a good idea but I don’t know if IDJ have it in them to promote on album let alone two separate ones. They f***** up my fav’s promo and his album comes out next month.
Look Alexis, if your fave flops its because nobody is here for hoodrat music not because Def Jam didn’t promote.
Yes mariah HUSTLE sis, something kelly wouldnt know about.
Beyonce stoops to strippering in public.
And if your fav would just come out of the closet he wouldn’t be having all these problems.
The nerve of an AA stan to blame IDJ for anything when they gave that stupid ass single more promo than they give TW. Be grateful h**.
Mz. Carey needed Miguel to sell that single.
First of all, who was talking to you @Loco and second of all why should they waste ANY money on someone who hasn’t been relevant since she was bumping p****** with B2K.
How can be Chris be gay if he was with Rihanna?
jhene siko is a major flop like kelly
1. American Idol
2. Four first lead singles
3. Year long album push backs
4. Bribing fans
This b**** is d-e-s-p-e-r-a-t-e.
Jhene is much more successful than August. How much did his EP sell again? Sail Out is still charting 4 months later. *plays The Worst*
August is still fine though 😉
Chris is’t gay b****, but your scrawny ass Alsina be looking like he might be coming for King Trey like he his side chick or somethin.
“The Worst” is outperforming YM lol I would tread lightly if I were you… 😆
Rihanna has so many d**** inside of her she might as WELL be a man. I hope that answers your questions Iggy.
Watching that WBT clip brought back memories when Mimi’s team and image was on point. Her image has been messed up since 1997, not her actual voice. Yes her voice is different (upper belting has taken its toll), but she still can sing. What is weird to me is how real Mariah can be/ is. When I have watched a few interviews, I found her to be surprisingly funny, shady, & oddly warm. If her OVERBLOWN DIVA image wasn’t so overbearing to her incredible artistry, extremely unique talent, and a few idiots on here that tarnish her legacy even further on here, she might actually be respected as the legend I know she is. I cannot speak for everyone. I know she is respected, but generally speaking she should be held to a higher standard. I say to the Lambs, don’t be threatened by anyone comments on here. She has had an amazing career. Let’s hope this new record just adds to it.
P.S. If Mimi can read this, make sure your next single is uptempo and do it with Payola. No shame in it. 100% of songs are done with Payola. Peace & Love to everyone.
Bumping p***** with B2K? Miss thing, don’t write a check your child support avoiding ass can’t pay. Jhene is outselling Mariah and she most certainly outsold your August’s flopulous EP. Now run and tell that.
The Boy Toy should be worried about Rihanna’s p**** air miles and leave August alone.
Rihannas only good for giving blow jobs her vocals are pure shitt from all the c** stuck in her throat
Y’all are SUPER desperate for hits in the past month. In the past year mariah Carey had “beautiful” which went platinum and number one in MADD countries. Flop? Oh ok. Shows how juvenile your “journalism” truly is. She will flop yet remain unbothered as she is more successful than anyone out now, then and later and has sold more, had more hits and def has more money than everyone in the top 20 COMBINED.
You really are turning into media takeout now, it’s getting quite pathetic. Step ur p**** up hunny
You’re Mine is struggling because it sounds like it belongs on “The Emancipation” and not on a new Mariah Carey album.
She Needs another reinvention period, Get a fresh new niche while still keeping true to herself.
THEN She will see Hits.
@Realist Melt Downe b****. Melt downe.
Beyonce only good for giving head in the backseat and lip syncing to basic stripper anthems.
Oh my, a Jhene Flopaiko wants to shade Mariah? Don’t do it girl.
Mariah is done. No one cares about a new album from her. She’s a legend. hang it the f*** up
I didn’t shade Mariah, I simply stated a fact. By the way, has Future paid child support for all 100 of his children this month or is he waiting on Ciara’s Mama I’m Trying To Sing pay checks first.
Guess Mariah has to release slutty stripper songs like Pour it up and Drunk in love to chart these days the public likes trash now i see..
What’s a aiko?
@Lamb4Life.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nwdjQmc_N8
Try again.
@Flop4Life Somebody who is outselling your fave.
mariah might as well release a stripper anthem.
She’s sitting her wide box shaped a** naked in You’re mine video. struggling at 3 million views. lmaoooo
Ultimate death, this is like Britney announcing a dancing competition; a b**** can’t.
This is most definitely not a good look; this is what desperation looks like.
Whoever advised her on this should be fired. This is on the level of Nicki Minaj getting sued for wigs.
I heard this single has left the iTunes top 100,000, is this true lambs?
Sales & radio play are what really matters, f streaming, although it counts on the charts. That’s silly anyway.. Your site is a dayum FLOP !!
I need to go back to the post where the lambs were bragging about this song slaying. I need to see what a delusional ho looks like.
I hope like Stephy has come to the realization that his walls are no longer in existence, the lambs have also come to the realization that this era is not going to happen.
Lovebird, why is Sexlijah so damn s***? You have the best taste in men sis.
B****! If you want to see what a delusional ho looks like go to your local airport and you will see Rihanna chasing Drake.
Beybeyking aka Cicifinnabeabride you should be worried about not using the same exact jokes under different usernames. Hop off of my d*** b****. 😉
lovebird worry about sluthanna that BITCHH career is over
Why are we acting like LB claimed Elijah first, I said he was s*** LAST year before LB even knew who he was. The only v***** he wants to load is mine so back the f*** up.
What makes this write up a joke? The fact that when You’re Mine was released TGJ reported “yes yes and yes” now she a flop? Pathetic TGJ.
Rihanna is nothing but a s** puppet for any man she has no talent.
Not everyone has split personalities like you b****.
@Sandy don’t know it
TGJ never said they hated the song, they said they hate how it’s being handled.
@Lamb4Life You won’t know it because it’s a hit.
Beyonce fans should be buying xo and stop stalking Mariah post.
All this talk about Elijah is making my p**** purr 2bh.
Where was it a hit ? in Rihanna pusssy?
Natalia
His instagram is amazing; he is so hot. Sexlijah’s instagram drains the batteries from my v*******, yassss ma.
Beyonce fans don’t need to buy Xo because they already bought the album, s***.
August Alsina > FLOPlijah Blake 😉
The irony is that Elijah is your fav’s fav so keep on hating w****.
Girl has warrior sold 450k yet?
Keyshia del rey? Lmao what a ugly ass name.
Not when August would break his throat if he even tried to belt like Elijah can.
Uglier than Mariah’s box shaped body I’m sure.
Where is Elijah’s single on the charts? The Hot 100 doesn’t know him. No one does but TGJ lol.
Ciara> Rihanna
Ciara > Beyonce
Ciara > Kelly
Ciara > Keyshia
Ciara > Mariah
Ciara > Keri
Ciara > Gaga
Ciara > Katy
August will always be better then Elijah non charting ass.
Rihanna a loose p**** w**** you will never get married or have kids shes TRRRRAAAAASH!
Mariah needs a miracle
August is a ghetto wannabe homo thug; Sexlijah is walking eye candy.
I could marinate, moisturize and message those juicy lips any day.
There is nothing s*** about Elijah. He’s cute at best.
Oh and Jhene aiko will forever be a lessor b**** that b**** has to cling to drake and big sean to get noticed so pathetic she did the same thing with b2k back in the day the b**** is nothing but a clinger.
That’s funny Sam, you post Flop on Mariah’s article and this is right before you posted an article on none other than Kelly Rowland….
I don’t see the desperation in this though.. She always does this. Perfume giveaways and stuff. She actually cares and appreciates her fans unlike some people. TGJ is still pressed. Beyonce’s entire last era was an epic ass flop. Nicki struggled on her second album. And that Ariana girl had one local hot and fell off the face of the earth. The thirst is real.
None of the people Samantha Stans for has made Mariah’s impact or sold more records than her. It Stans for brandy, Kelly, Janet, and all those other bxtches that would flop if they released a single/album so I don’t see where this hatred is coming from. It is unnecessary and unhealthy
Oh my,this era has been quite messy but the music’s been good..I enjoyed everything from #BEAUTIFUL,Almost Home,YM and most of all TAOLG..At some point,hopefully may 6th,i’ll get this album on my hands and enjoy it every bit
Unfortunately I think Mariah needs to seek a new sound. I don’t think Jermaine Dupri is the right guy anymore. She cannot recreate old hits. She should be trying to reinvent in my opinion.
Do your thang Mariah! She did once for #Beautiful, and put karaoke sessions for Touch my body + All I want for christmas on Facebook long time. So waht’s the matter? She loved to interact with her fans. Y’all just MAD BITTER
Leave Mariah alone. Immature b****** talking too damn much.
The forst word I read was “FLOP”
This is flopping, these posts should make all of us feel better about our faves, especially Kelly Rowland and ciara fans
*plays edge of relevance*
I wish she would just take the rest of the year to rebuild her brand with a whole new creative team. Some very big decisions need to be made as far as label management, artist management, and A&R, because this is truly the worst album roll out I’ve ever seen. It shouldn’t happen to any artist and certainly not to Mariah.
None of the songs released from MariahCarey’s new album have been produced by JD YM was produced by Rodney Dark Child Jerking as was The Art of letting go where as beautiful was produced by Happy Perez if we going to report stories let’s have our facts together TGJ. Also if you report MC and Rihanna’s failures do the same with your favorites as well. If you are the bias site you claim to be.
OMG Mariah stop this foolishness!!!!
You are a f****** LEGEND!!!!
Tarnishing your artistry dear…. Not a good look. Desperation leads nowhere.
And that video to the song was boring & just HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How bout YOU sing the damn song for once Mariah?!
LOL STILL THINK SHE DOESN’T NEED TOMMY, LAMBS? LMAO
WHO KNEW EMINEM WOULD DESTROY HER CAREER LIKE THIS LMAO
LMAFAOOO
She just needs to refresh her image
Jhene Aiko’s album will sell more copies first week than all of Ciara’s last 3 albums. I mean, who hasn’t ?
Beybeyking, b**** stop worrying about Rihanna’s s** life and figure out why ur messy ass fave can’t get a number one song after six years…
Lool I love mariah but aint that the truth :p
No, TGJ, you are not “die hard Mimi fans”. Die hard fans give CONSTRUCTIVE criticism they don’t talk s*** constantly. Yall are too busy riding Beyonce’s C*** to do anything else productive.
Ignore TGJ, she seriously cant wait for the album to drop. she gets all excited. MC stays unbothered.
The only flop is this generation taste of music. Not the song, not Mariah, music becomes a joke these days. I’m happy Mariah not following the trends. Even if she did uptempo songs, she did it Classy and fun.
HAIL QUEEN MARIAH is all I can say
“you make me feel like looove will never ennnd tell me how can I forget that my baby we were the BESSSST” idgaf if people didnt buy the song!! i really love it and i think its more catchy than art of letting go its just that r&b music aint popular no more but the song is tearing up adult r&b airplay and i heard it on the radio a few times may 6th keeps getting closer and closer tbh i think its gonna be a great album her vocals on these songs sounds better than memoirs and i happy she let go of the dream he really f***** her over!
Ever since she started lip syncing alot lately her stuff been falling off.
It has nothing to do with age it’s just people are missing her “REAL” singing abilities.
Why are Ciara stans talking? Aren’t we on a Mariah Carey post? How does a Ciara pop up in the same category with real good singers?
And for that Jhene Aiko comment, Jhene is a threat and her sister “Mila J” who has a music video for “Some, Drink BreakUp” coming on Friday 21st, she’s much more of a bigger threat for Ciara.
Ciara’s going to be replaced soon, just watch.
And Jhene sold a good decent amount for her EP! And I’m pretty sure when Keshia Chante’s album comes out it’s just going to dethrone Ciara’s discography.
Now, again how the hell does Ciara ever pop up on any Post about “REAL SINGERS!?”
KESHIA SLAYS CIARA’s vocals in SHREDS!
http://youtu.be/NcGKXrakmzA
I love me some Mariah. She’s a Living Legend. Her massive talent is incomparable. Basic bitcehs stay away. You’re dismissed! She’s as classy as SADE
It´s unbelievable how Sam and his team have only nice words for all these girls like J. Hudson, Ciara, Kelly Rowland, etc no matter how many constant flops they have while he shows such level of hate when it comes to Mariah Carey, just cos her single is not working… after 25 years in the business and being 44 years old? WHAT? What has she done to you? You loved the song, if anything admit you haven´t got a clue and your wannabe journalist ass can´t predict any damn thing. You said it was great song and a gem, and that typical expression of yours “what the doctor ordered”, and look what´s happening. You have no idea but you are always trying to give advice? Hilarious.
