Is Mariah Carey on the cusp of a comeback?
According to a new report, plans may very well be in place – with execution taking place sooner than expected.
Details below…
Roger Friedman of Showbiz 411 touts a source close to the situation who says that LA Reid and Epic Records are ready to roll.
Per the report:
“They’ve got it [the single], and feel that she needs something on the radio to remind people [she] can really sing– not just lip sync.”
The latter part of course refers to the diva’s New Years Eve debacle at the Dick Clark special, which saw her embroiled in a lip-sync scandal.
Little has been divulged about who the songbird has been nesting with in the studio, but reliable word is that she has clocked up time with the likes of Diane Warren and Jermaine Dupri.
********
Proving she’s up to the challenge of pushing new material live, we sure hope this proves true.
It’s been almost two years since Mimi re-signed with Sony by way of Epic and there’s been very little musically that has come from that union. Let’s forget that ‘Infinity’ atrocity.
Granted it’s clear manager Stella and her team have used recent times to rebuild Mariah’s live stock and snatch some TV moolah in the process, music is her mainstay.
Sure, there’s a part of us that would rather the 46-year-old vacate the spotlight so as to recalibrate, but the reality is that we don’t live in an era that allows that. Put simply, for most acts, it’s a case of “out of sight, out of mind.”
Hopefully whenever Mariah re-emerges, it’s with slay material, a less tacky image, and no fake relationships to stunt with.
Back to basics. Please and thanks.
so whote time she was trying to stir up buz for a flop single…Wrong way to do it sis.
They Slept on Faded and Make it look good. These corny record executives have NO CLUE what the public wants.
*Whole
As long as the music is good(like her last cd) I’m here for it. As a musician that’s really al I’m concerned with her for- HER JOB!
I can’t even defend MC’s actions as of late. Her and her whole team is just bizzare. Her behavior (even on the reality SCRIPTED show) is bizzare. Serving Michael Jackson loony toon tease tbh… I’m really starting to think all of this is a publicity stunt. I mean, she’s been doing her in and out of lip sync illusions in Vegas & her sold out Christmas shows perfectly. But all of a sudden she has problems lipping & live singing at some lip synced New Years event (yes, everyone on that stage lipped except Lionel. He was live and sounded ugly btw).
.
.
Now, D*** Clark Productions did have some technical difficulties 2 days ago at the Golden Globes. So just maybe they could’ve f***** up MC’s one too. But, that still doesn’t excuse Mariah’s lazy and just straight up bizzare behavior she showed on NYE. Hmmm My guess is, Mariah’s surrounded by nothing but fake psychotic “yes men” and is just doing anything and everything she can to stay relevant. I peeped that after all this negative publicity, her MAC line sold out, her tickets with Lionel shot thru the roof and her song WBT went 3x Platinum all in a few days. I just don’t like this tacky ass Mariah. Ion like it at all. And the sad part about it is, she actually can still sing. But she’s not putting in that serious work. See, Carey has a damaged voice with vocal nodules. She needs to be on a strict vocal diet, NO alcohol and her 2008 trainer back again. To me, Mariah is wasting her 40’s (the last years of your youth) on BS. This is just all laziness and poor common sense. She needs a new f****** BRAIN. All of this can and would be avoided if only she started using her BRAIN and COMMON SENSE again.

She reminds me so much of Michael Jackson it’s scary. On one side, they’re the most amazing mainstream artists to exist in the past 30 – 40 years… And then on the other hand they do/did things that makes no f****** sense. Like, no sense whatsoever! If I was blessed with talent, an opportunity & a GIFT like Whitney, Mariah, Michael etc… was given… Baaaaabeeeey please, I would be doing everything them damn doctors and life coaches tells me to do. I surely wouldn’t be running around here sleeping with peoples kids, smoking crack and getting drunk. I just don’t get it. Maybe these people really are mind controlled Illuminati puppets. Who knows…
.
.
BUT! Mariah, I better not hear you don’ overdosed and died on a b****. PLEASE GET IT TOGETHER. So sad, because she’s one of the last globally successful icons of pop left. And yes, I know Celine Dion is here but be real… Don’t nobody care about her boring ass (and she lip syncs just as much as Mariah does… but is 10x better at it). It was ALWAYS, ALWAYS Whitney Houston 1st then Mariah Carey. Celine Dion was for uptight white nerdy people, period.
.
Anyways, bye.
Gotta love your honesty.
If this is the “EPIC” release you were talking about on twitter and saying how it’ll dominate 2017, you can keep it gurl!
I thought she was taking a break??
This was a stunt all along to set up a comeback n create buzz around her. She saw how Beyoncé 2013 worked wonders
Beyoncé should be the modern day blueprint for these girls, even the legends who feel the need to keep up.
Please, Beyonce is a flop..
when she gets 2 diamond album like Mariah, Whitney, Britney or my Queen Adele, then u can talk….
The delusion. Beyoncé faked her pregnancy and spread rumors about Jay-Z and Rita Ora to stay relevant.
It will flop harder than her fat body.
But not as hard as ShakHEra’s strangled yodels or her one-note stiff hip swivel.
Shakira is flopping?
Not my fault Mariah now looks like a fat cow .
If you releases songs the public wants to hear and delivers live. This will be huge!!!
If she books a stage and slay vocally, she will literally be Pooping on the naysayers!!!
This is all wishful speculation tho!!
I KNEW IT! I know my mother lamb so well and can’t nobody tell me this wasn’t planned. Mariah would NEVER put herself out there to look like a fool if it didn’t benefit her somehow.
It makes sense why not release single to capitalize off of the NYE fiasco. Then she can make her rounds on the night and daytime talk shows and perform it and sing live and thus show the world over and over she can sing…in the right or different conditions.

Better be the right song to perform well, live and on the charts.

Lets see.
She’s amazing.
Hope she stop making 2nd version of we belong together. anyone remember that infinity s.h.i.t
Sam you truly suck d**k …you never have a completely positive post about anyone but Beyoncé …f****** biased blog
I still f**** with Marian, y’all crazy, disrespecting a legend! Marian is an icon regardless, and it was her voice that she was lip syncing to. So what is the big deal? Mariah will always be one of my favorite singers of all time. Y’all some haters….
So now we know she was just looking for a buzz to get everyone’s attention. It’s not a coincidence if she has a single to release right now, don’t be so foolish. She’s playing it like “poor myself, people say I can’t sing, but I will prove they are all wrong.” but darling, with a career like yours you no longer have a thing to prove. Stop the comedy, this is just business and if you think she’s just an innocent victim, I will no longer wonder why she calls her fans “lambs”.
Girl….. I mean, i guess… The single will have to slay though, And if its cut from the same cloth as FLOPfinity… KEEP IT
Smh
