For Mariah Carey and her legion of Lambs, today is the day.
Almost five years have passed since the diva’s last LP hit stores and seven since she released a commercially successful effort. However, today sees the 44-year-old make a bid to reverse her fortunes with the arrival of her 14th studio album – ‘Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse’.
Given the dizzy heights of her star, anticipation is naturally high for the project. Yet, more than any of Carey’s past opuses, buzz for the ‘#Beautiful’ led set comes with a side-helping of caution.
After all, the album has suffered a myriad of missed release windows dating back to 2012. Then, of course, there’s the endless list of preceding singles – few of which managed to impact the Billboard Hot 100 (or the Bubbling Under Chart, for that matter). To rub salt into the proverbial wound, hope was further dashed when an exciting “surprise” roll-out was scrapped in favor of a traditional release.
Put simply, a mucky mess.
And yet, the mother of two has staged remarkable clap-back by delivering her strongest body of work since 2005 mega-seller ‘The Emancipation of Mimi’.
Boasting production from the likes of Jermaine Dupri, Mike Will, Hit-Boy, and Big Jim Wright, ‘The Elusive Chanteuse’ skilfully sews together the soulful sounds that have underpinned many of Mimi’s brightest musical moments. The result? A sonically stellar backdrop which allows “that” iconic voice to take centrestage and shine bright. Indeed, despite decades of acrobatics having shaved power off the songbird’s famed range, Mariah still possesses an unparalleled ability to soar to vocal heights that still astound.
In many ways, then, this album is “the album” her career has been in need of. The question remains, though, is it one the masses want to buy?
Let us know below whether you’ll be purchasing ‘Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse’…
That Grape Juice Top Picks

Flop thats all
So after all that trolling fiasco this weekend me and FutureCIARA met up at McDonalds to try and put a stop to it! Collectively we sent Sam 300 tweets and he finally got back to us and hopefully we will get a resolution. After that FutureCIARA treated me to a McRib meal extra large and we went back to his place! I was a little nervous because I didn’t use an enema first but he gave me this stuff to smell called poppers and his famous 5 3/4″ u**** junk slid right inside my twinky hole. We listened to Ciara and Mariah albums on shuffle and made love for about 8 minutes until he bust in me. It was fun. I was awarded with 20 McDonald’s dollars for taking it like a champ! I think I’m truly in love y’all
TROLL^^I DID NOT WRITE THIS DIRTY SHITT SAM & DAVID!
Not a troll! I f*** for McRib sandwiches and Sam and David you saw me post gay p*** yesterday so you know I’m a freak!
TROLL^^ STOP IT BOO!
Hit me up on twitter @iBottom4FoodStephy
I streamed it on spotify. It is a great album. Kinda picks up where ‘Emancipation’ left off. My favorite track is ‘Meteorite’. Only downers would be ‘Thirsty’ (too obvious that its supposed to cater to the younger audience), and ‘One More Try’ (NOBODY can touch a George Michael song except George Michael).
I give it 3 out of 4 stars.
Yes, already bought mine. It’s a great album.
Yup i think its the best album that came out since October of last year slay us Mimi.
Its a solid album.. The chanteuse has my coinage!! I give it a 9.5/10
My top picks are:
1) Supernatural
2)You don’t know what to do
3)The art of letting go
Still debating, but if not I will definitely buy You Don’t Know What To Do.
How was E=MC2 not a successful album? Yall are the biggest haters. …..
Best album of the year so far.
I be happy that mariah be slayin but i be honest,i be so proud of my baby Austin,he be makin me so proud,i seea lotta Justin in mahone…im waitin for cody simpson to be gettin a #1 next
Yall ready for the vocal bible that is Brandy Slayana Norwood!
LOL WHO?
Who?
i be so buyn it,i have almost all ohf mariahs cds.cute
Im buying and i have not had the pleasure of listening but Ashanti to me had the best album this year
Absolutely amazing album. Expected nothing less from the Goddess of vocals. To answer the question though no, I don’t expect the masses to go out and buy good music. Adele was an error in the matrix that I don’t see happening too often in today’s market.
Error in the matrix lol… and yes, it’s a fabulous album. I think Mariah’s recent promotional stuff is showing some progress and through that and word-of-mouth the album could take off. It’ll probably take a while tho. They need to release a damn single that’s actually marketable!
my bae austin mahone and mimi be runnin tha charts,im just be happy they aint battlin biebs,one direction,union j,midnight red,cody simpson or sydney
Already did and I’m loving it. Deluxe edition, if this album doesn’t win a Grammy and a certain someone does…hmm.
LOL SINCE AUSTIN MAHONE IS SLAYING HER ON ITUNES, DOESN’T LOOK LIKE ANYBODY IS BUYING IT LOL
Like no one bought Artpop
I did
@Molly
.
Like your sucking-up a$$ didn’t buy “Ciara”. You were too busy sucking up to random people on TGJ, seeking acceptance from people that you will never meet.
LOL I BET U ARTPOP WILL OUTSELL THE HASBEEN FLOPTEUSE LOL
You do realize that both of those albums have different retail prices
Kinda like no one RiHIV’s albums
Keep it cute troll
The fact that the four versions of her album are charting at 2, 38, 48 and 79 means she’s probably outselling him atm. Mind you all 4 versions of hers are more expensive than his..
Mhm, to buy the physical or itunes version, that is the question :p
I bought the album on Google Play this morning to listen while I’m at work. It truly is a masterpiece. It shows her as a person, instead of a diva. Yes, there diva moments (hence the title), but you can see there is a very likeable, silly person behind the heavily OVERBLOWN diva image. 10/10 (The interlude-like connecting the songs is a good look)
Top 5:
Supernatural
Dedicated
Faded
#Beautiful
Heavenly
Cry (Had to listen to it 5 times/Story of my life right now)
No ones buying this crap
No offence but Austin mahone looks s*** with his new haircut. It suits the biebs better
i dont think austin be that bad but i do prefer it on biebs too
Even though Austin’s hair looked dry, it still looked cute in “what about love” and Banga
beenies are his thing tho
Forgot that mimi could have this kind of effect
LOL THE EFFECT THAT KEEPS PEOPLE FROM BUYING HER DATED ALBUM? LOL
I will be buying. One of her best albums. Go Mimi!
mariah be gorgeous,she go slay so hide ya faves now that ya better do…ya go put mimi on a petalstool
I don’t see the only lamb, slayriah here yet
We’re happy for you
Hey gorgeous sexyyy Matt. 🙂
Gets me every time :’)
Of Mariah doesn’t sell over 100k first week, I’m never commenting on this pressed site again. But I’ll be two copies after school.
If*
You need to stay, you have back up should the dragging start after first week sales
I wonder why Sam & David NEVER do shade throwing articles like this with J-Ho, Rita Oral-S** & Ariana FLOPde! WTF!
.
.
E=MC2: 2008 (3,000,000+)WW (1,000,000+)USA PLATINUM IT WAS A SUCCESS! NOT LIKE EMANCIPATION BUT IT WAS NOT A FLOP!
Also, SHE IS NO LONGER IN HER PRIME, NOR ARE HER SONGS AS STRONG AS THEY ONCE WERE. SO, WHY BASH HER LIKE SHE IS STILL A 25 YEAR OLD BITXH THATS JUST LAZY WITH HER CAREER! —–> Kelly Rowland etc… Whom, yall love to praise like she went DIAMOND 3x last year twice on SUNDAY!
.
.
We will NEVER see articles like this with J-Ho probably cause Mariah does not have TGJ on her PAYOLA roll… And SAM has this personal revenge with that OTHER BLOGGER that started his own blog & stans for Miss Carey! Whom I follows on Twitter!
.
.
“Me I Am… Mariah FUCKKING Carey: The Elusive Chanteuse” WILL sell over 100K in the first week & outsell J-Flops & Rita Oral S** & any other FLOP that yall like to praise on the daily basis!
.
.
This site stays throwing shade at Rihanna & Mariah Carey WTF! But always praise Brandy, Rita, J Ho, Ariana, Danity Kane, Mc Hammer, Vanilla Ice, SWV, Molly The Maid, Dickk Sucker & many other flops like they just put out a DIAMOND selling album but in fact none of them has had a hit album worth mentioning in over 10+ years! And even some has not even REACHED GOLD as IT was held as the NEXT Mariah Carey! All those lil DELUSIONAL kids could not get that childs album to GOLD!
.
.
In closing, Mariah Carey gave HER best! She brought vocals(studio enhanced), lyrics, production, melodies & most of all GAVE JESUS CHRIST THE PRAISE on MULTIPLE songs. She is a LEGEND & has outsold EVERY female in the industry EXCEPT Great-Grand-Ma-donna! Who else from OLD ASS outdated 1990 is still making records & selling any kind of album or singles these days. Mariah Carey DID THAT! END OF FUCKKING STORY!
.
.
Ps. THAT BITXH RITA WHORA AINT HAPPEN-IN’
The essay though.
Where’s the spark notes version?
Lol right? Like this girl needs to keep it real short. Dumb b****.
Slayriah! Go die b****!
Why would you wish death on someone?
LEAVE ME ALONE!!! GOT DAMMIT!
I just bought it…not surprised at all.This woman is simply phenomenal.Not everyone would put out such a masterpiece on their 24yr in the biz. 9.9/10
Love the username. #Slay
lovebird??????
Actually, Mariah is slaying Austin (whoever that is). She has like three different versions of Chanteuse on iTunes. I really hope she does score her 7th #1 album though. Selena Gomez debuted @ #1 with only 97k.
LOL AND NEITHER VERSION IS #1. BUT AUSTIN HAS ONE VERSION…AT #1.
WHO’S SLAYING? LOL
You guys need to check out Lana right now. She is slaying iTunes!!!
Is ultraflop out already?
No on pre-orders.
LOL WHO?
Can’t get enough of Faded, Dedicated, You’re Mine And Money
May God bless the V***** that birthed Mariah : )
http://s28.postimg.org/qjlxfqtnx/image.jpg

Best album since November 2013 imo!!
Indeed. Twitter?
Just created one a few minutes ago. @cake_like_gaga_
This album will spawn a number 1. When will her lessor?
When will Rihanna is something you need to ask yourself instead.
LOL DIDN’T THE SHEEP SAY THAT ABOUT HER LAST 3 FLOPS? LOL
Lovebird needs to have a seat somewhere though.
and take ya dusty ass too
This album is most definitely what the industry needed, something to be excited about and that delivers. I don’t like Mimi but 10s all around on this fantastic piece of art.
LMAO
Listening to Whitney’s I LOOK TO YOU and Mariah’s ELUSIVE CHANTEUSE albums,it’s evident that despite vocal decline,your faves still can’t do any better..SHAME
Which album is better to you?
I love both but this new album is giving me life you won’t believe
@slayriah..lol,let’s not be messy now…i really haven’t interacted much with @Stephy here since i’m no longer active here
slayriah be sayin anythang to comfort herself..and ya aint know Austin,well go to the charts,youll find him above ur faves…peace and tell rihicon i be said fuch you 2
I bought This, Coldplay; pre ordered Linkin Park and Ed Sheeran. These guys finna make me empty my piggy bank.

TROLL^^ I did NOT write that nasty shitt!
Actually I did write it. My meds are acting up again today.
You guys do realize that Mariah may be #2 on iTunes but she has 3 albums well in the top 80 so with combined sales she may be actually outselling Austin. She’s also slaying target and walmart. The real kii is that hes discounting his $8 EP $2 off at best buy DEATH!!
How do u know she is slaying Walmart and Target?
Some lambs on twitter are saying there stores are out of stalk
*stock
He’s also catering to the Disney and nickelodeon market.
The adult market is more difficult.
LOL WHATEVER DELUSIONS WILL MAKE THE SHEEP FEEL BETTER ABOUT HER GETTING SLAYED BY A DISNEY T*** LOL
@Molly those girls are unstable.
Lol right.
@slay, why are you so angry. You’re such a vile little c@nt. You and the rest of the resident mean girls. Kudos to @future for standing his ground. You guys make @stephy likeable. Lmao
I will buy this album. Mariah’s voice is amazing, and this record is pure quality.
Thank you! A non shady Xtina fan!
its a great album, you dont know what to do , should definitely be the next single
Stop tryna throw shade at my bae austin,he deserves what he has,he has half the # of songs on mimis so haffa price makes sense..@slayriah @rihicon phuck u both bye..im goin
The same people on this site always screaming “iTUNES ALBUM CHARTS DON’T MATTER!!!!1” are the same ones now trying to drag Mariah for being #2?
You seem bothered
Applause are you @hausofcock/ hausoflucas
Nah.
Please keep it cute today
@Cake Like Gaga, Follow me on Twitter babe!
I will say this once;
If you do not know how to properly construct a sentence, please refrain from mentioning my name in your comments. I also need you to remain absent from my reply section. I speak English, not Mongolian.
I need to shout out @JohnVidal,@Slayriah and @MC (who sadly isn’t commenting here these days) + ALL the lambs who’ve been here all this while …OUR GIRL DELIVERED,OUR GIRL DID IT
even Timbaland and Anita Baker are stanning
Thanks. & I don’t know if you were shading but one person in particular was left out of your shout out! DEATH! #FakeLambs
And Stephy???
SCREAMS!
Lmao no shout out for Stephy death.
shes made an outstanding album that will definitely debut number 1 and will be nominated (hopefully win) awards
Aww thanks babe! You know I love the few times you visit this blog. Yes Mariah Carey delivered and yes @MC was a great addition to this site.
slayriah is a nasty b***** w****,piesa s***
Agreed!
You also need to #SparkNotes your display name
i’m buying it tomorrow along with The Roots new album.
my favourites are
“You Don’t Know What to Do”
“One More Try”
“Dedicated”
“Faded”.
“Thirsty” is the worst song on the album.
I’m not a fan of meteorite but I guess ill end up warming up to it
@slayriah you are an illitrate idiot,get ya life togeda
Wow ..
I’ve already bought it, both physically and Itunes 🙂 Poor Beyflopce, Godriah coming to snatch her albums, singles, even basic ass tour numbers
Some lambs are saying their targets and walmart are out of stock on twitter, hopefully people buying in bulk get seperate receipts
They have been tweeting separate receipts! Hopefully, many will purchase separate! cause petty ass Billboard mad fans buys in bulks!

DEAAAAATHHHHH!!!!! Screaaaaaming
TROLL^^ I DID NOT WRITE THAT SHITT UGH!
Actually I did write it!!
Mariah won’t win any Grammys. She doesn’t have a rich camel who can spend that type of money on her, unfortunately.
I love you so much
Troll^^ I do not love Slayriah AT ALL!
I’m still feeling some type of way about her 1996 Grammy snub.
Death!
But isn’t she as rich as him? She clearly doesn’t need Tommy anymore!
Memoirs wasn’t available on preorders btw and Mariah’s physical sales always trump digital sales….so,we just might be onto some great start
SCREAMING at Dossome paying Stephy dust; how long until S****** does the same? Gurl why don’t people like you?
‘
I am literally hyperventilating at that subtle shade.
Read Stephy comment under my last comment, somebody trolling again. Death

Sam, TROLL^^
Umm actually, Dos-some replied to my early comment about Nippy…
also, you scared as f*** for blocking me & Nicki Is Queen On twitter too..
Mariah Carey ain’t winning no Grammy! She didn’t even win a Grammy for “Butterfly”, “Daydream”, “Music Box” or even “Emotions” but they gave her 3 Grammy Awards for “The Emancipation Of Mimi” which does not even REMOTELY compare to her early 90s material.
.
.
Beyonce is another DIVA I like but she is OVERRATED in the Grammy’s department! I mean she is almost tied with Queen Aretha THE GREATEST FEMALE SINGER OF ALL TIME! WTF!
How do you feel about @Dossome paying you dust?
He did not pay me dust! He actually answered my question about Whitney Houston & Mariah Carey’s album on this post!
But he doesn’t take you seriously as a lamb lol.
So, what? Get over it!
Beyonce deserves to win Grammys. She is competing with legends who are no longer in their prime or at their best and awhole different generation of stars versus those Aretha had to compete with.
F*** this old wrinkly cow mooriah is a has been an a certified flop even austin mahone is outselling that old p** loooooooooool Queen Ariana is coming back with a new album and will snatch her wig problems is already number one on itunes and billboard she is slaying that fat p** granny mooriah
Selena gomez – hit the lights > Ariana grande’s first album “copy and paste truly”

@Stephy explain PLEASE is this a troll ??
YES! I did not say that at all!
No it’s not a troll. I have no prob admitting the truth. I f*** for fast food and attention. I am Stephy girl!!! No shame in my game I love you
TROLL^^ STOP THE MADNESS BOO!
Yes please stop. I’m trying to be real with my TGJ family and let them know who the head bottom in charge is. You’re playing games when I’m trying to be honest and admit things I used to be ashamed of
TROLL^^ ONCE AGAIN! I DID NOT SAY or WRITE THAT!
Good album better than alot of albums that came out last year
LMAO, that troll is crazy y’all. But I’m still getting my life from that drag by this here Dossome.
How you going to drag a b**** like that? With subtleness, grace, class and style. The lambs are on a roll today, life has been given.
Girl Bye!
The album is her best work since Emancipation. I just find even hef latest music to be so dated. But very likely I will…
What’s dated is Beyonce & Jay z collabos.
So why is On The Run Tour selling well?
F**** you mean dated! It R&B/Pop/Gospel Tha F****!
Simple Answer: Me.I Am YES
I actually enjoyed what i heard from this album so far! Will buy! Its a wrap with mary j! Arianna could never.
Agreed! NEVER!
She better win EVERY vocal nomination at the Grammys
Yes I love this album a little better than beyoncé
This album actual makes me want beyoncé to go back to the studio and redo her album
This might actually be album of the year
Mariah > beyoncé >Katy>lady crap>>>everyone else
actually its like this
Mariah > Ciara > Adele> Katy > Gaga> Beyonce > Rihanna
Ciara was garbage
Adele’s album didn’t come out yet
Katy only has 3 songs that’s worthy to listen to
Gaga is was just trash
Rihanna’s overrated
Hmm I think their albums are completely different, content wise & what they were trying to accomplish. I’ll still take beyonce’s album as is but this MAY be a little better. IMO they are neck & neck as far as best albums this year so far.
Definitely will be buying this album. Got to support good music when you can. My faves are 1. Cry 2. Faded 3. Money 4. Make it look good 5. Camoflauge
Isn’t ON the Run on a decline then
It’s sold out for f**** sake
Nope the tickets sell went down….other than that it’s doing very well
I don’t see people talking about the monster tour tho
LOL THAT’S CUZ IT’S ALREADY SOLD OUT, WHILE THE ON THE RUN FROM SOLANGE TALENT SHOW STRUGGLES AND SLASHES TICKET PRICES TO KEEP UP LOL
of course, is the best thing Mariah has done since ‘Emancipation’, i won’t call it a masterpiece but it’s a good body of work, so far one of the best releases of the year.
Agreed!
Wait Austin already outselling Mariah “Legend” Carey already in the first week?
This should be interesting.
Not WORLDWIDE!
She’s #4 WW.
And damn Lana is slayingg! Already in the top 5 after just one day of pre-order
Mariah still sold more records then him and Beyonce combined.
It’s 21st century for f****’s sake! Not the Renaissance Era!
Mariah Carey was not born during the Renaissance Era tho…
Guys i want to ask you a question about music, it’s more interesting than the drag fest that has been reigning here the last couple of days. so here it is: What’s your favorite album ever and WHY?
Well me and FutureCIARA did a shuffled mix of Ciara and Mariah albums while I bottomed for him and let me tell you that was the best 8minute album I have ever heard!!!
TROLL^^ THIS IS WHY THIS SITE IS GOING TO SHITT!!! SAM PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS S***!
The Ray Of Light, because its nothing but the truth & speaks volumes about life as human & as an individual. Something about that album is haunting, spiritual & scary all at the same time. Almost, like reading “THE SECRET” by Rhonda Byrne. The album is not as in dept about life & law of attraction as “The Secret” but it gives me that type of vibe. I also, like how the songs flow together. The production is sick & ahead of its time.
.
2nd choice would be “Sade’s Greatest Hits” simply for the fact that I can listen to her music for hours. Particularly, her greatest hits album.
@Stephy
Great analysis.
So hard! Anyway, Mine is probably The Velvet Rope by Janet Jackson. I loved that the songs were so relatable to me at the time and had a message of loving oneself through life’s hardships. Plus, it’s production and lyrics are stellar. I can play it over and over again. Other picks include D’Angelo’s Brown Sugar and Aaliyah’s AALIYAH.
The Velvet Rope is a masterpiece.
Waiting on the first week sales, will be a Ki
Shouldn’t you be purchased G.U.Y.
kii like how caca thought she was gonna have “the album of the century and her first week did worse than miley cyrus
LOL BUT WATCH THE HASBEEN FLOPTEUSE DO WORSE THAN BOTH LOL
@S******;
I don’t have one particular fav album but I can say my top three are
Madonna – Ray of light
Linkin Park – Hybrid theory
Rihanna – Rated R
Usher – 8701
‘
Reason is simple; they’re timeless.
‘Hybrid Theory’ remains my fav. Linkin Park album, i’m surprised you like that kind of music, “Crawling”>>>>>>>>>.
In the end was the first song I heard from them and I just had to get the album.
‘
I thought you knew I like any kind of music; I hate limiting myself because if I do, I limit myself from the different art forms the industry has to offer.
‘
What is your favorite album ever?
my favorite album isn’t actually an official studio album but an EP, it’s so honest and raw, the music is just beautiful, i’m afraid to listen to it because i think i will get tired of it, it’s very especial to me, honestly is the best thing i ever heard, i like the way the melodies flows with the lyrics and then there’s Layne Staley’s voice which must be the best male voice in the history of Rock music, just magical, Jar of Flies by Alice in Chains.
Awesome, I’ll check it out.
Don’t be so hard 🙂
I’ve never listened to Ray of Light before but with all the praise it gets, I guess I’ll check it out.
“Ray of Light” is unmatched, the quality is out of this world.
My favorite Album of ALL TIME IS “Born to Do It” by Craig David.
And I have listened to a lot of albums.
Rendezvous come to my place say two, and we can do anything you wanna do. Tonight is your night.
Wow, where is Craig David these days? He was dope when he came out in 1999. I loved that album too. It was voted second best album of all time behind MJ’s “Thriller” by the UK public.
@Metzo
Ok, thanks for answer.
YESSS to this!!! Shame he fell off. 🙁
“I met this girl on Monday…took her for a drink on Tuesday..we will make love on wed. And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday we’ll chill on Sunday!” I don’t think he fell off he just chilled out.
Moo. I am Mooriah won’t even crack 100k first week.
TROLL!
Yes Gaga does look like one haha
@ S****** Blonde
:
1- Frank Ocean – nostalgia, ULTRA
2 – Frank Ocean – channel ORANGE
3 – Kate Nash – Made of Bricks
4 – Adele – 19
5 – Alicia Keys – As I Am
10s
If you like As I am, you’ll love Emeli Sande – our version of events.
‘
I listen to it from start to finish and it’s amazing.
I def will 😀 some of the singles >>
@H20
Good list.
You trolls are so sad seriously I admitted that I was the one trolling under FutureCIARA and Stephy that day that I was copy and pasting Stephy website ( yes I know very sad on my part but I was bored oh well it happen) with that being said and to clear my name I haven’t done it anymore sam can confirm it he got the receipts and I was never banned because. Was Impersonating the moderator so yea….anyways I won’t be buying this mariah album is really good but I’m not feeling i don’t know but I bought three songs from it I hope it does well. Good luck Mariah.
@s******
1. Stripped – Christina Aguilera
2. Ray of Light – Madonna
3. Use your illusion 1 & 2 – Guns n Roses
4. Back to black – Amy winehouse
5. Jagged little pill – Alanis morissette
6. The velvet rope – Janet Jackson
Your list is also flawless, hurrah! for ‘Use Your Illusion 1/2 and ‘Jagged Little Pill’.
I won’t be buying this album. Mariah Carey doesn’t appeal to me. . .
Good luck to her and Austin. Mariah is a legend it doesn’t matter how her album sells now but I hope Austin’s album does great.
Wow let me add ‘Back to Black’ to my “To check out after finals” list, along with 100+ others hihi
THIS IS A GREAT ALBUM. I ALREADY HAVE MY COPY. TOP PICKS ARE : FADED, DEDICATED FT NAS,BEAUTIFUL FT MIGUEL,YOU MAKE IT LOOK GOOD, SUPERNATURAL,THIRSTY,METORITE,YOU’RE MINE, AND YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO FT WALE. MARIAH STICKED WITH RNB THE GOOD OL FASHION WAY. THERE ARE SOME BALLADS THAT I DIDNT MENTION THATS GOOD AS WELL
I will be purchasing. Granted, I’m not a Mariah fan per se. I do have her greatest hits, Daydream, Butterfly and The Emancipation of Mimi but I listened and I really enjoyed it. My immediate picks were Faded, You Don’t Know What To Do, Meteorite, Camouflage and Money. Sure, her vocals are not what they used to be but she sounds great nonetheless. I have a lotta respect for Mimi and I hate that people give her sh*t because she doesn’t sell like she used to. Ffs, she’s been at it for 20+ years. If you cannot respect her art at least give credit to her LONGEVITY because at the rate at which some of these new girls are going, they won’t be heard of 5 years from now.
TGJ make me laugh. This website stans hardcore for Rita Ora and Brandy and sales wise they are both flops. TGJ ignores all the flops Beyonce. Yet they’re so quick to point out Mariah’s flops. Delusion at its best.

Lenny Kravitz ‘5’ – sonically amazing
Beyonce ‘4’ – Classic R&B yet current
Miseduction of Lauryn Hill – Classic hip hop
Gavin Degraw ‘Sweeter’ – Real Blue eye Soul
Usher ‘Confessions’ – Soulful and Honest/ Relatable
Kravitz>>>>>>>> 🙂
Kravitz is the greatest, I wanted to list all of his albums but, that would have been to biased. Lol
Kravitz is Mariah´s friend!

2.
Those were the good old days of this site, btw, Purple Rain>>>>>>>every other album on your list.
I forgot about “Purple Rain” OMG & “Sign’s Of The Times”… Those are masterpieces!
“Sign’s Of The Times” is even better.
@S****** and Stephy
Diamonds and Pearls is phenomenal too…I recently got into old country music too and Kenny Rogers’ GAMBLER is pretty solid imo…
Diamonds and Pearls is one of his best, also Bob Dylan country albums are flawless.
I know! I often say it here, that we could actually talk about good music here… and then all these kids attack me (while stanning for Milye Cyrus and the likes…)
Btw, what happened to @pop?
I remember those days as well. Let me also add Elvis Crespo – Suavemente and anything Victor Manuel
The days Tropical music was everywhere.
*Manuelle
Why is bipolar illiterate flop h** mentioning me before I even arrive?
@did you say i got to many generic flop faves
I don’t think she will win a Grammy they always tend to snub her. But I bought the physical copy in target where it was a huge banner of the album cover so I do believe how people are saying it’s out of stock. This is Mariah’s first orginal work this decade. But meteorite and money are my faves right now. I do like the George Michael cover she stuck to the original and didn’t overssing it. But don’t worry once Mariah’s hits that world music awards stage her sales will bump up some more. Then she has an nbc special on Friday! Yes it was on iTunes Radio for a week but people still bought it!!! ” when it’s your 14th studio album you do whatever and call it whatever you want”-time magazine
I already bought my copies earlier today! It’s a great album, so proud of Mimi!
My fav albums ( right now)
1) rihanna – Unapolgetic
2) lana del rey – born to die
3) me I am mimi(I need to listen to her other albums)
4) marina and the diamonds – Electra heart
5) j. Cole – born sinner
& I bet this will sell more than anything rita ora has ever sold in the us soo…..
it’s goona be number 1, but it’s gonna flop harder then Artpop.
I wont be buying the full album just songs I like.Which are Faded,Dedicated,You don’t know What to do, and Money
The album is amazing! And Mariah is slaying in her 14th studio offering. What´s left to say? 🙂
Come next week, there will be some hurt feelings.
The exaggeration is real! Mariah’s album is no better than alot of recent releases including Beyonce’s. Doesnt surprise me though,especially when the people saying it, are talking about basic ass albums are classics. Someone even said I Look To You better than today’s music and that album was a steaming pile of vocal damage mess!
This album will struggle for gold and fall off the charts quickly like last time, even though its a solid body of work. I can see its a wrap winning for Best R&B Performance in feb! Her and Mary did that!
This is the best female album since Beyonce’s… alll the other female pop albums sucked last year especially Ciara,Katy, and Gaga’s. Support Mariah!
We are dicussing quality and music, not sales. She did it and in her 25th year of career and 14th album. Why you mad?
I absolutely agree. Mariah is far more relevant today in her 25th year in the business that than her peers from the 90’s like Celine, Janet, Madonna or Whitney(for obvious reasons…). To compare her to these artist in their 20’s like Ariana or someone like Beyonce when she far past her prime is honestly flattering to me.
I bought my copy on Amazon a couple hours ago. She hasn’t sounded this good since the early 90’s TBH. Little Miss Ariana is probably running to redo her whole album because of how amazing Mimi sounds LMAO. I like her music but can’t take those weak, lack of enunciation ass vocals that she delivers. Like b****, clear your throat and pronounce LMAO.
@s****** blonde

1)michael jack’s dangerous and rest of his albums..’heal the world is a great haunting song.
