Hey boys & girls,
I have been a Mariah Carey fan since her first album in the 90’s. As an expert fan of hers and her music, she is very successful worldwide, selling over 150 million records. People are always saying she is finished. NOT! Everything she releases sell, even GLITTER, a movie soundtrack, sold over 4 million copies world wide and over 600,000 in US. (Check MariahDailyJournal.com for further statistics). Stop hating on her. Not anyone on this comment section has her fame, money, and reputation, which is good by the way. No, the old 90’s Vision of Love Mariah is not coming back anytime soon. This is because she never left. She just changed her music style, which has been POP and R&B, to mainly contemporary R&B/ Hip Hop (Vision of Love/Love Takes Time were R&B/Pop Hits). Get over it! Whatever she will release will definitely be a hit like always. It is the fans, buying her albums, and not the Media that causes her albums and records to sell and be successful. Like it or not, Mariah is here to stay. Get a life and find someone else to trash children.
Hello again children,
I forgot to mention. Someone stated that Mariah’s “Emancipation of Mimi” album was not a smash hit. Well statistically speaking, it sold over 5.8 million copies in the US alone, and over 10 million records worldwide. If this isn’t a smash, then what is? How many of you have album hits, have sold many record, and are rich? Even “American Idol” fans can not sing Mariah’s signature songs. Overall musical success is especially good for Mariah, since having been around for over 18 years. Even Madonna, Janet, Dolly Parton, and a string of other famous musical female and male artists have not lasted or sold nearly as many records. Again, hate on someone else, but leave Mariah alone, children (adults would not be so immature and unnecessarily cruel/rude).

“Fox411 columnist Roger Friedman has weighed in on Island/Def Jam’s two big anticipated releases, “E=MC2″ from Mariah Carey and “Discipline” from Janet Jackson.
Freidman said he spent more than an hour at the record label Thursday listening to both projects. The verdict? Both are “pretty damn good,” he says.
Starting with ” E=MC2,” due April 15, Freidman wrote:
In the order I enjoyed them came first “Bye, Bye,” a powerful ballad that should be a single and probably will close the album. It’s a natural singalong in concert, too, which could make it not only wildly popular but a possible Grammy contender next year.
The next most commercial number is “Thanks for Nothing,” a witty and rueful tune with another great melody, courtesy of Jermaine Dupri and Carey. As on “Bye Bye,” Carey’s vocals are superb. Her infamous eight-octave range has suffered a little wear and tear over the years, but Carey still can flutter from great highs to mellow lows like no one else.
Some other highlights included “Cruise Control,” featuring Damian Marley with a driving reggae subtext; “Migrate” with T-Pain, which should be a single and perhaps the album’s kick-off track; “Last Kiss,” with Dupri on vocals; a breathy disco dance hit called “I’m That Chick”; and out-and-out pop song “Loving You a Long Time,” which samples DeBarge’s “Stay with Me” and recalls the melodic riff of the “Hill Street Blues” theme music.
