glitter was a good album though.

Timmy84 said:

sadly, it seems that's what's actually delaying it now, coz most of those preview parties feedbacks complained the material were all so slow.

seems like you just can't win with her

PricelessHo said:

Guess not.

Maybe she should do a dance album with no crunk/hip-hop influences...

PROBLEM SOLVED!

was it really?I never heard it

Timmy84 said:

then she'd be "too ghey" for US radio

though i'd kill for a whole campy xenomania produced record

Mariah should stop worrying about sales and what people think and just do it, it will be a way to get away from what is expecting of her. She already did that with the hip-hop thing, she can change again.

Well, I hope so. Glitter was fantastic <3

I wonder how the Clark Sisters were thinking when they saw this. Like "this girl got the devil in her! "



Fantasia and 'em were performing "Endow Me", I think.

I just don't know. It still seems like an awful lot of performances to cancel. She could do older material and one new track. You sayin' they ain't got ONE decent track she can promote at these events.

SCNDLS said:

Not according to their "bright ears" according to Priceless. Def Scam is foul.

PricelessHo said:

Does that mean we're getting yet MORE JD tracks? !!!!!

Timmy84 said:

thing is, i know for a fact she would, i just don't know what's keeping her from it.

she has such a broad taste in music, and has actually mentioned once that she'd love to do something different sometime (amd named Alternative ) for she enjoys all sorts of music.

SCNDLS said:

she might be pregnant

Timmy84 said:

Cuz her dance remixes be on PERNT! Homegirl needs to give up the ghost and stop trynna please people that don't know shit about music or crafting a song.

Timmy84 said:

We right here!

SCNDLS said:

that's exactly what i don't get, especially with her going on and on STILL about that Hate U track! i just don't get why they're waiting..

PricelessHo said:

It's all quite perplexing.

SCNDLS said:

And we know Mariah is capable of doing more than what we're hearing. Trying to go for commercial gain is not really worth it when you think about it.

Timmy84 said:

Def Jam is a done deal at this point, they have no clue about anything, they are mostly to blame for these things, i can guarantee that they set 99% of their artists up with writers and the beatmakers, its all a fucking racket at this point. I cannot seriously think of Mariah sitting back and saying, "damn i need to work with THE DREAM" the same thing goes for Lionel Richie, i mean if he was sitting at home saying "wow i gotta cut some tracks with Ne-YO and AKON" i mean if he actually was thinking that shit, then thats why the result is his shittiest album ever, and the same goes for Mariah, she just doesnt get it, she has power, she can seriously do what she wants, and yet she'd rather let others do it for her and the result is shitty tracks, i dont care that "touch my body" was a number one, its a fucking horrible song that she should be ashamed of. I mean even if she Breaks the Beatles record, i could never ever put her in the same sentence with them, because of the crappy songs she has done(most of them number ones) and the era she was in

wasn't Mariah going back to 90's Mariah with this new album or was that a lie

The saddest thing is Mariah still has potential to do great works, they're still trying to sell her with the tired ass Bryan Michael Cox-like productions.

Alej said:

nop, JD only has one track in this project (titled 100 Percent, originally intended for the soundtrack of Precious, but was said to be included to this record) but after the mess he tried to pull on her lable 2 weeks ago by leaking the song on Hot 97 behind the lable's back in an attempt to force the lable to release it as a single, i can easily see them removing that track off of this project.

PricelessHo said:

Its a bomb, this is what people dont get, if the thing isnt breaking down the door and topping the chart, its a freaking bomb, i know we all dont like to admit it, but there is huge $$ in Mariah, this isnt a new artist with no $$ invested in her having a Top 20 record, this is someone that they are putting millions into and getting lackluster tracks, a number 14 record isnt what it used to be, especially know when "faceless" downloading is a major issue. Its like when MIMI came out, and "Its like that" stalled at 17, stores were already getting call back requests on what they had stocked on the album, had We Belong Together not taken off then that album would have dropped like a stone. The thing with this record is they dont have anything strong to follow up, plus, its 5 years later, the industry is in its worst state ever, people could care less about Mariah or anyone else at this point.

babybugz said:

all previewed tracks were said to have a very 90s sound to them.

PricelessHo said:

Lord Jermaine is a numb nut.

I like the tracks JD did on the Emancipation but JD fell off as a producer

lastdecember said:

if that's how you want to define a bomb, fine, but that doesn't make it a fact.

as to the rest, we'll have to wait for the follow up and see.

babybugz said:

Jermaine hasn't produced a hit since 2006, lol.

Timmy84 said:

But its really a combo of artist and label both are just lost at this point creatively. No one is gonna tell Mariah, grow up, you got the goods to do anything and you are resorting to this? You are becoming a parody of what you were. She is too concerned with not selling, at an age where she should be turning the corner and getting deep with her work
