co-sign.

and i live for those adlibs towards the end of Inseperable: "i knoww i knowww - pick the phone up, gotta pick the phone up"

Why is she lipping this peformance

^ most promotions done on programmes outside the US are done playback.

^ I hate that shit.

ok..i'm really loving "Standing O" lately.

It's very Side Effects ish

Alej said:

true. "Candy Bling" is another one i'm enjoying . at first i thought the album was a bunch of filler or background music. but it's definitely growing more and more on me. some of the lyrics on the album though...

oh. and i keep forgetting about the bonus remix disc. i've not played at all it since i've bought it. maybe i'll put that in sometime today.

CHIC0 said:

I haven't played the bonus disc either.

And lawd, I really, really, really love the lyrics !!! They're so funny

Alej said:

well in that case...yes. i love them too, because they make me laugh.

Prince

That shit's for the birds

I don't like the CD at all, I sampled it and it's boring. I have every single album of hers, but don't care for getting this one at all.

I am happy I do not know one person that likes Mariah Carey.

What's the word on a clean version of Skydiving?

Timbo with Skydiving and Mary's Skycap? Has he been hanging out in airports?

jackie

someone said they got a copy of the mixtape and that it still has shoutout throughout the song.

JackieBlue said:

Mary's Skycap samples SWV's hi hats from "So Into You". So much i thought that it WAS that song about to come on at first.

The last one wasn't her best, but it was way better than this new mess. And Charm Bracelet was awesome, this new one is just garbage, it is the first mariah CD I'm not interested in buying. I like mariah and I like the dream, but they both failed.

alphastreet said:

Have you listened to it, though?

This one seems to be a love it or hate it disc. I've heard people say they love and others don't like it at all. One friend told me she didn't like it yet knew every word and sang along to it effortlessly in the car.

JackieBlue said:

I guess it is

Personally, I'm in love with it !!!

Alej said:

Same here.

JackieBlue said:

this album to me, in a way was all types of confusing at first.

i heard or read; can't remember, before it was release Mariah talking about how in love she is and it's reflected in the new album. ok.
but it seems as if all the songs are about some guy doing her wrong. but again, i love angry Mariah

then the album title leads you to believe it's a look back at her career or life. "Memoirs"?? hmmm but again Mariah doesn't dig deep for album titles. "butterfly" "rainbow" "glitter"


then the horrible "boob shadow" cover.

her comment about being "eternally 12". i remember thinking that about her 5 years ago. she just confirmed it.

anyway...at 1st listen nothing really stood out except "obsessed". she's already mad. the rest just sort of filled the background. but i've been giving it a chance and the album is definitely a grower. some of the lyrics are just hilarious i must admit, but after "Butterfly" it's kind of been expected.
i like that there are no rent-a-rappers on this one. but alas we have the remix album coming out. i loving these tracks most:
betcha gon' know
obsessed
standing o

up out my face ....like it. but the 'put us back together again' parts are just lame as fuck. and the high school reprise is just annoying.

so yeah. it's definitely a love/hate album of sorts.

very interesting excerpt from the New York Times on Precious:

When Daniels wanted a fantasy sequence to be a Vogue photo shoot starring Precious and the magazine's editor at large, André Leon Talley, Talley looked at a clip of Sidibe from the movie and declined. Daniels fired some crew members halfway through production ("They weren't listening to me, and I said, don't let this hair fool you, give me what I want"), and the production ran out of money twice. Carey helped out by singing at Daniels's house to dazzle potential investors. "I would do anything for Lee," she said. "He can strip you down, homely you out, and you trust him, because he's after the truth. He can drive you crazy, but what interesting person doesn't drive you crazy?"

yeah I sampled the album, really didn't like it, I almost wish I could like it, but I don't. I'm not a mariah fanatic but I do have all her albums and love some of her underrated unreleased tracks a lot. My top 5 albums are Butterfly, Emotions, Mimi, Mariah Carey and Rainbow
