Which MEMOIRS track are you most excited about?

i cant wait for candy bling cuz the reviews for it are so different...ive read that its mid tempo and that its the slowest song shes ever done...so i want to hear it and i want to see wat the song is about...

Previous poll can be accessed here: http://answers.polldaddy.com/poll/1742529/

i chose "Ribbon" Because i think it will be interesting to see what that ssong means and why its titled "Ribbon" But i'm just excited for it all to be honest! "Angels Cry" sounds promising so far!! xD

"angels cry" hands down. i'm really excited for another "vision of love," especially since she always kills it live...hopefully it'll have lots of melisma and fewer lyrics so she can "take her time with the song" (trey).

finally a reasuring review. i'm most excited for angels's cry since it definately gonna be a personal one! :)

I'm definately excited about ANGELS CRY. That sounds like it's going to be great. Im soooo glad shes going back to her older more mellow/ballad sound. I know someone who was at THE listening party for her album at he told me it was going to be a HUGE hit!

i chose "i wana know what love is" reviews are crazy and im excited to hear mariah blow and not whistle whisper so much i miss the ballads and yes i agree with trey, take her time singing the song lately (for some yrs now) shes been rushing the lyrics, and cutting us short, blow mariah sang sang! ur the best stake ur ground make us loyals proud! we love u bring it home!

I choose I wanna know what love is. Been singing that for a month now when i learned she's reviving it. And it's a personal song for me

Well im most excited about "i wanna know what love is" because its the next single!! After that im very excited about "Angels Cry" because its along the lines of "Vision of Love" and i just wanna faint ! lol... FINALLY she's going to be able to show that voice of hers instead of singing songs that Rihanna or someone can sing. CANT WAIT!!!

I can't wait to hear all the songs, but i gave my vote to "Candy Bling", 'cause it's the title that i'm most exited about and then the reviews which says it's a slow R&B jam, it's my personal favorite Mariah style in the last few years! And then yeah, the real HIT hopes which are "I Want To Know What Love Is" and "Angels Cry", i'm sure these songs will certainly rock the ground!! Love U Mariah!!

"Angels Cry" is such a lovely title that it's making me cry already lol. I'm a sucker for ballads, and it being described as "Vision of Love"-like is making me nuts! Can't wait for the album! I wish it were a "Mariah original" for a 2nd single and not IWTKWLI. Oh well...

I chose Ribbon because it just seems like it will be one of those personal tracks of hers (Close my Eyes, Looking In, Outside, etc.). Im excited about all of the songs. Mimi always delivers in any tone, any tempo, and with lyrics. IM TOO EXCITED! CANT WAIT!

I CNT WAIT FOR UP OUT MY FACE......SOUNDS LIKE A BOSS SONG.....AND THATS WAT I AM LOL

I am sooo exited for "I Wanna Know What Love Is" as I've always loved the song, it's been a personal favorite of mine for a long time. Mariah is the best person to be covering this song as its a ballad and Mariah is amazing at singing ballads. Just a few weeks before I knew she was covering it, I heard it and sang it lots and to now know that MC is doing a cover of it, is amazing and exciting. I am soo looking forward to the album and I hope its a big hit for all her years of effort and talent.

Listen hear to H.A.T.E.U. (snippet), upcoming song from her new album:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56MRCTvVDEU

i voted for Angels cry..and i wanna hear the lyrics..2nd im excited about her version of i want to know what love is ..

Here in the philippines , several artists gave their own rendition of the song " i want to know ".. so this time around ... i want a DIVA flavor in it.. via My fave Mommy Mariah..

Anyways. im very excited about the whole album and i hope all the LAMBS will support for it..

Cheers to MARIAH

i love yah , i adore yah and i enjoy yah!

Where's walter A.... ?????????

I voted for "I want to know what love is" Im excited to hear it and watch the video ofcourse, I love this song so much, Tina Arena also did this in her album "In deep" and now I cant wait to hear the Mariah version, my mariah, Definitely i cant wait to grab a copy of her album, I wish tomorrow is Sept. 29. More power to Mimi, Manila Loves you and I love.

Yui (Manila, Philippines)

angels cry is the best title ive seen from mariah in a long time ..i hoped it will be like butterfly or they can't take that away..but it seems it's like vision of love ,,at least it's a ballad =)

Where's the TIMBALAND song? im also excited about that one

I hope she doesn't overuse her whisper register...and I hope there is a stronger use of the chest voice here than on her previous album. Basically, more than anything, I hope it's vocally on point!

im hoping that she will use her deep chest voice again on this album not that thin chest voice just like her old self and less whispering and whistles..surprise your old fans mariah plz !!

This album sounds like it's going to be amazing! Mariah has listened to her fans... Here is a ballad-centric album. Awesome! It's always great to read a song title before actually hearing the song--wondering what the song will be like. Candy Bling is one of those titles, so is Up Out My Face--which I think will be one of the few uptempo songs. Looking forward to Angels Cry, sounds like a kik ass ballad. I agree with Jaqueline when it comes to Ribbons, it sounds like one of those personal Mariah songs, kind of like Underneath The Stars--which to this day is one Mariah's top five favorite songs (from her library). Though the one I'm looking forward to the most is I Want To Know What Love Is. It's already a great song musically, so all Mariah has to do is add her Midas touch, and it'll be a hit. It seems like that's the case. Now what I wonder is what happened to the Timberland track? Could that be Up Out My Face? I always wanted Mariah, and Tim to work together, and hopefully the song will be on the album. In sure that Mariah will release another uptempo at some point, and that could be it. Also, what happened to 100%? They made it sound like it was going to be her next Hero. Perhaps they'll save it for the Precious soundtrack, but hopefully we'll get it in the album. I'm so looking forward to this. Now fellow lambs, we can't forget to keep requesting Obsessed, and voting for it. We're still pretty close. It still has a chance to be #1. Wouldn't that be a great way to release her album--"Obsessed, 19th number one..." Then IWTKWLI comes out, and it'll be her 20th! Come people this album could make music history! She could beat The Beatles with this album! How about we be good lambs, and support ALL her singles (including Obsessed). ;-)

Everytime they say a certain song is like Vision Of Love, it turns out to be totally the opposite... I want to hear it ONLY for the title...
I want to hear Ribbon and It's a Wrap, b/c they said it was a doo-wop thing!!!
I hope Mariah doesn't whisper all the way through the album and most importantly, I TRULY HOPE she will NOT use that high, high fake pitch belt she's been using since Rainbow, that almost make my hears bleed!!!! It's unnatural and soooo pro-tooled. If she can't do it live, what's the point???

Well, no matter which the next (first) single is just keep on SUPPORTING THE CURRENT SINGLE - "OBSESSED"... As HollywoodLeo says, we can't give up on that when there's still a pretty good chance of it going higher and even hitting the #1! Let's concentrate on that now! http://Obsessed.rules.it

I voted for 'H.A.T.E.U.' because I fell in love with the YouTube snippet even before 'Obsessed' was released. The beat, the lyrics, the concept behind the song, everything about it is a smash hit! Although I am looking forward to other tracks like 'I Wanna Know...', 'Ribbon', 'Angels Cry'. And definitely looking forward to '100%'. Still loving 'Obsessed' though! It's the #1 most played on my iTunes already!

I voted for H.A.T.E.U because the beat from the demo is ridiculous, and now that I know what it stands for, I love it even more. I also can't wait to hear Candy Bling because I'm hoping for something Bliss-like. Between that and H.A.T.E.U, I'm sure i'll get my appetite fed. Of course I'm excited about "I Wanna Know..." and "Angels Cry" too. I just want to hear the whole album. I'm excited, and I hope the lyrics are top-notch and much better than E=MC2. I can only hope being in love has pushed her to that wicked level of phenominal lyricism. Butterfly baby! Heck, toss it back to daydream even. Call Walter A.!!

It's hard to choose one track becuase I am excited for all of them. Anyways we should continue to support Obsessed. It is currently #13 on itunes and needs to get higher. It's the #1 most played song in my itunes already also. And all of her other songs are behind it!

i love H.A.T.E.U.,,,cant wait,,also i want to know what love is..:)love mimi!!!!!!!!

I can't for I want to know waht love is and H.a.t.e.u the whole cd .....lets still support obsessed!!!!!!!!

I'm most excited about hearing H.A.T.E.U. but I can't wait to hear all the songs! :)

i dont understand y ppl r so rude about e=mc2...it is currently my all time favorite mariah album to date...and dang she cant sing all her songs in her full on chest voice that would be boring and very hard to do...i love that she has variety...the only thing i really wish this album has more than the last is high notes...those r my favorite...if i dont have time to listen to a whole song ill fast forward to just hear the high notes...lmao...

Can't wait for the album, but i miss 100% !

I haven't heard any of these tracks, so how can one choose. I do know when Mariah does covers she knocks them out the park, so I'm going with "I Want to Know What Love Is". MOAIA 9.29.09

100% HQ 30-sec snippet!
http://defpenradio718.com/blog/new-music-mariah-carey-100/

I'm excited for Hate U since its the only track we've kind of heard based on the demo besides Obsessed. Based on titles I thing Angels Cry just because I read by reviews that "I Don't KNow What Love Is" is the style of Through the Rain and starts of whispery. All I hope is that the album has songs with solid lead vocals and not vocal layering that makes mariah sing with backing track live.

obsessed is #11 on the hot 100 this week (back to its peak)...maybe next week it'll FINALLY crack the top 10!!

I went with Candy Bling 4 the same reason, plus I just love the title, cause it's playful. Second would be Angel's Cry, and third Ribbon.

I am so glad that she is finally listening to her fans. BALLADS mariah!! Thats what everyone has been wanting to hear from her for a LONG time. She has an amazing voice and I love her entire range. I cant wait to hear her cover of Foreigner's song. This album is going to be great!

Iam happy that Obsessed is back to number 11 on the billaboard.Please lambs let do this to be her no# 19 and yes i cant wait for ''Angel Cry''

I voted for "Angels Cry" and "I Wanna Know What Love Is". Why? Because I've always loved the original version and I know that when Maraih covers a song, its always a smash hit. For example, "I'll Be There", "Bringing On The Heartbreak", "I Still Believe" and The Beautiful Ones". Now, "Angels Cry" brings me back to the title of the album... (Memoirs Of an Imperfect Angel) Its going to be like, that one chapter in a book that you absolutely love. This album seems like its going to be like an audio version of an actual book or should I say, Diary.. BRING IT ON MARIAH! SHOW whitney WHO'S QUEEN! (And by the way guys, I like whitney and all, but the snippets that Amazon had available for the new album.... THEY SUCKED! Only a couple actually sounded good. Its just a cd for FAMILY REUNIONS and COOKOUTS!

Im happy to see obsessed back at #11

LAMBS SUPPORT OBSESSED First....

love yah mariah

http://Obsessed.rules.it Post it EVERYWHERE! :)

I'm sooo happy with Mariah covering IWTNWLI. I'm sure I'm gonna love it. Yes, it seems like Mariah is finally finally listen to those fans that have been supporting her since the beginning, the ones who are requestings BALLADAS. I love Mariah Carey, but when it comes to balladas, I love her even more.

Angels cry sound good, but I don't think it will be like Vision Of Love a thousand times before they have sais a song is like VOL and it never it, so....) I'm so exited with this album, like I wasn't since Butterfly.

Hope 100% will be on the new album! the clip is awesome..but i voted for IWTKWLI....

I'm ecstatic that "Obsessed" is back to #11 in the Hot 100 Charts, wherein it deserves to be #1. The song showcases how witty Mariah is. Let's put it to #1.

"Angels Cry" sounds intriguing! It seems a very personal and a heartfelt ballad. Next is "Ribbon".

I can't wait to hear the whole song of 100%
I truly hope Mariah could put 100% into Memoirs....><"
I look forward to "H.A.T.E. U"the most
why it doesn't stand for"Hold and Tenderly Embrace U"?
It looks better and sounds more beautiful!!!
"Hving a typical emotion upset" is not that good!!!
Hope Mariah could change that><"

my vote goes to "i wanna know", though candy bling sounds interesting. i hope she includes right to dream as a bonus track, at least in the international or japanese edition. that was a beautiful, simple song.

yeah, and whatever happened to 100%?

wasn't 100% supposed to be for Precious only?

I havent listen to none of these songs. I really cannot vote on a song. I'll just wait until the album comes out.

rindy...read the question it says which one are u looking forward to the most...none of us have heard any of these songs...

Just like LISA and SUPERMARIAH said, OBSESSED is at #11 on Billboard Hot 100; let's keep supporting OBSESSED, it's just one step ahead to enter the top ten, we still have some time before the release of IWTKWLI.
OBSESSED can do it better!!!!!

--omg obsessed back at #11. i really think its gonna be in the top 10 next week. but i really want to hear 'I Want To Know What Love Is'; 'Angels Cry'; and 'Standing O'! this album is gonna be fire!!...*

wow! whomever's approving these recently photoshopped pics of Mariah needs to be fired, more so than the photoshopper (him)/(her)self. I mean she's barely recognizable on the Forever ad :/

shut the hell up I LOOK TO YOU...no one cares about whitney and her dumb song

the promo pic isn't that bad. the body is normal the lips and nose and hair r normal as well, it's just the eyes! she looks cross-eyed. why does she need to even slightly photoshopped, in her pap pics she looks amazing! whatever, the promo pic from ultra pink was amazing. not to be mean but, why would the photographer, her manager or anyone authorize this picture. maybe they'll change it in the magazines but really what matters is that the perfume smells good and the bottle is awsome. i'm just waiting for the ALBUM!!! keep supporting obsessed everyone!

I agree Mariah's people are idiots for approving the promo pic. She looks possessed and cross-eyed. The sad thing is that the person hired to photoshop the ad probably made enough to pay his rent for a year and 90% of people I know can use Photoshop ridiculously better than this. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this person is also responsible for her ridiculously photoshopped Obsessed cover and the overly airbrushed MOAIA cover.

@I Look to you: I'll support Whitney maybe just a little when I hear some quality music with decent vocals. Don't get me wrong I respect Whitney for her strong will and resilience but she should have tried to make some hit music and put some power in her voice. Regardless, Mariah's music so far sounds ten times better and she seems to know what her fans want and she goes out of her way to perfect her music even as far as to delay her album past grammy deadline. PS Whitney can't touch Mariah on achievements. Mariah has beaten so many music records and paved a long a prosperous career. Heck, technically speaking she can't even touch Madonna on achievements.

yeah, her arms in forever ad look so thin and the worst thing is her right breast is not equal to her left. pls....this is quite embarassing...

Ok, so I'm not the only one who thought that the Forever pic was a little off, and that she looks cross-eyed, and so "po po po po po possesed." LOL. I can't believe that this pic was approved. It's so sad that Mariah is so amazing, that even the people she's working with hate on her... Ugghhh! This isn't the first time that something like this happens. Over the years she's had hairstyles, outfits, and photos that are like horrible beyond belief, and I just wonder, who the hell keeps giving her all this bad advice? I mean really... I've been through this myself. I've always had my hater followers (I work in the biz), and they constantly gave me bad advice. Then I realize that they did it so that I couldn't get further ahead. They wanted to do whatever they could to hold be back. Then I became aware of it, an now I make my own decisions, and take advice with a grain of salt. I hope that Mariah will eventually do the same. I've had the privilege to be within 3 feet of Mariah a few times, and she looks very beautiful in person. Just look at the Obsessed video... But then you see some of these pics, and it's just like, what is going on here? Somebodys has got to be giving her bad advice. They purposely pick a horrible shot, and tell her it's the best one. Then she probably takes their word for it. I've been there myself in the past. It's easy to fall for that. I just can't believe that it's still happening to Mariah. It's a shame. I'm sure that any still shot from the Obsessed video would be better than this pic. Don't get me wrong, from the neck down it's great, but they could've done a better job with the facial pose. Mariah, please fire all the secretely envious haters from your team. They're not good for you. You would be better off hiring loyal fans to work you...

Mariah is beautiful. Mariah with photoshop is horrible: Forever pic is.... and MOAIA cover is awful.

Please, continue SUPPORTING "Obsessed"! ((( http://Obsessed.rules.it ))) I'll be away for a week... And when I come back from my VACATION I wanna see it at #1! :)))

SUPPORT MARIAH!

KEEP ON SUPPORTING OBSESSED..Lets make it to top 10

Leo, I love you as a fellow lamb and I agree with you on many Mariah-related issues, but your long rambling posts and your persona are annoying. Conciseness and humility are precious qualities.

u know wat i find funny...how all of u think she gets bad advise for these pics and stuff...how do u know shes not the one that choses them considering she has said that after TM she has taken control of her career and everything she does...

mariah is no. 1 in urban and rhytmic survey in ratethemusic.com

and finally they put in "top 40" survey..

so I didn't like "I look to u" so slow and heavy song especially in summer day

h.a.t.e.u. is my favourite word

KEEP ON SUPPORTING OBSESSED..Lets make it to top 10

Thanks for the tip Whitney. Excuse me for having a brain, and using it, and for being a LOYAL Mariah fan. I'll make sure to be more like you, and come here to promote ANOTHER singer on a Mariah forum.

LoL .. why does this whitney person keep coming on here??!! Hmmm where is I look to you on the hot 100?? .. O thats right ... NOWHERE! meanwhile obsessed is nearly a top 10 hit. Give it up..Mariah is the best, and whitney is a crackhead ^-^

It seems that Madonna and Whitney fell off the Billboard 100 this week. If MC fell off the Billboard 100 after only two or three weeks, everybody and their grandma would be hating on her (as if hating on her would be a new thing). Lets see if people start calling Whitney's single a flop. Yeah right. Bet everybody got something bad to say about MC who is sitting pretty at number 11. Not to mention with bleak promotion. You go, M to the C.

i cant wait for the whole album... but im most excited for the next single.

@whitney houton... Whitney doesnt even write her own song u dumbass!!! lmaooo ... n higher notes than Mariah?? GET REAL!! lol

I'm definitely looking forward to the ENTIRE ALBUM!! I can't wait anymore!
But the track I'm most excited bout is "Angels Cry"
I've been waiting for a classic..
I'm also looking forward to "100 Percent" on the Soundtrack of Precious, I heard a snippet of it on youtube, n it's gonna be awesome!
MC's on fire this year!!

So is this true Mariah & Madonna both releasing something on the 29th of September? Like WTF? MC all the way, man...

I was really hoping HATEU you was going to be the 2nd single, but now I am completely excited about IWTKWLI. The more I listen to the original the more is seems to reflect Mariah's life at this point. Well, actually the lyrics are really deep and veiled so I still need to figure out what exactly this song means. LOL! But definitely the most personal cover Mariah has done so far. Don't forget to support OBSESSED. Let's make it go to top ten.

As if Billboard needed to waste their tim e checking sales, everyone knows mariah was the best selling artist of the 90's and continues to carry her legacy.if IWTKWLI is as big of a smash as the reviewers say mariah will definately top madonna and whitney. mariah is the only one out of the three who's first new single was something different from what they usually do. madonna just did the same crappy beat with the same crappy vocals and whitney's new song sounds like something from the 80's and it so boring and "million dollar bill" sounds even older. i cannot wait for the new album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cnat wait to hear this whole CD. I think its going to be fantastic. I look forward to Candy Bling, Inseparable, Standing O, And I wanna Know What love is. Just give us this record. So exciting.

why isnt 100% in the list ???
i actually i heared a snippet for 100% and it sounds amazing :)

anyhow i voted for i wanna know wht love is cuz ive read the reviews so i really wanna hear how good it is

--LOL at people thinking madonna is gonna sell more than MC on the first week with a compilation album. lets check madonnas album sales in in U.S compared to mariah. 2005- confessions sold 2.5 mill. TEOM sold 6 mill. 2008- Hard candy didnt even go platinum here. E=MC2 1.3 mill. 2009- celebration 200k maybe MOAIA 350-400k 1st week. nobody really cares about 50 cent anymore since lil waye shut him down so im not really worried about him... i think obsessed is really gonna be top 10 next week since airplay is crazy!

that forever add reminds me of the Daydream cover.

i'm so excited about I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS
don't forget to makeobsessed on the top of the chart!!!
adit,INDONESIA

The Grammys are run by fat head arrogant pigs. Last year they asked Mariah to perform since they needed the ratings and they snubbed her just like they always do. I'm happy that Mariah didn't rush her album for that bureaucratic committee of idiots. I really hope she stays away from the Grammys from now on, I'm sure shes caught on to their bullshit. So good for Whitney if she can suck enough of their dicks and kiss enough of their asses to be awarded a Grammy. I don't count Grammys as a symbol of achievement they are ridiculously biased. Mariah WILL outsell Whitney and Madonna put together because that's how she rolls and that's how her fans roll. She puts out more effort and soul into everything she does and her fans are there to return the favor. Her record breaking long-term career forever at the top of the charts is proof enough of her achievements.

Mariah's new album won't be out in time for 2010 Grammys so please stop talking about the Grammys ......
I heard "100%" snippet and since then I can't stop listening to it, it's so magical..wow!!
I can't wait to hear the whole album and it's hard picking JUST ONE cause all the titles are interesting to me but since the reviews talk about "IWKWLI" the most(as only 6 songs were played until BET reviewd it) i choose that song & also "Angels Cry".
Everytime a new Mariah Carey album comes out it's happines and joy! I love all the albums and I know that MOAIA will be HUGE!!!!
Mariah please type the Storyteller show soon I am mostly looking forward seeing you perform live again!!!
:-)

I chose "I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS", Here in the Philippines, theres a lot of rendition of this song, BUT, OFCOURSE, i still want to hear to get attached to My MARIAH CAREY version as what she did in her revivals like "I'll Be There and Open Arms.. :)

Manila, Philippines says: WE LOVE YOU Mariah Carey, Please Comeback! :)

WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE FALL DIVA?
****************** Peruse the upcoming music release calendar and one theme crystallizes: This fall belongs to the diva. Well, I suppose it remains to be seen if the fall will actually belong to bombastic songstresses - they've gotta make a splash with sales, appearances, airplay, and all that first. (And some diva-esque antics would probably help stir up some excitement, too. Just sayin'.) But the ladies pictured at the right here are surely making a play for dominance with four releases that have the potential to be huge.
First up, of course, is Whitney Houston's comeback album, I Look to You, on August 31. Then on September 29, comes a trifecta of releases: Barbra Streisand's Love is the Answer, Mariah Carey's twice-delayed Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, and Madonna's greatest-hits album Celebration. (Hilariously enough, The Hills' Heidi Montag drops her album the same day. But I'm not about to include her in the "diva" category.) The short of it is, it's an exciting time to be a diva lover!
Still, I have mixed feelings about all the releases. I'll give you a few words on my anticipation for each diva's disc. Whitney: Excited, but nervous. Madonna: Sure, I'll buy it all yet again. Duh. Barbra: Ehh, it's Barbra, which is always so Barbra. Mariah: Love "Obsessed", but the rest better be even better.
But let's get real here - I'm going to buy them all. Again, duh! But what about all of you out there? Which of these four albums are you most excited about? If you only buy one, which will it be? Based on what you've heard so far, what are you loving most?

(Entertainment Weekly)s

Mariah all the way...

LAMBS please continue to support OBSESSED..and make it to the TOP 10

see, that picture of her at the party with that dude just confuses me even more. why in the world would u want to be photoshopped when u can look that beautiful even while u look like a cute mess and r being phtographed in bad lighting with a normal camera. i just don't understand it.

I Want To Know What Love is being picked for the 2nd single because maybe it is raved in reviews so far. That is what I am afraid of. The record company wants to go off reviews maybe.

I hope Mariah chose it because she is confident in it. Not the label being confident.

She should go with her gut on it.

Bye Bye was raved in reviews and was a disaster on the charts. You could tell her record company chose it for her.

Ok, why the hell do the Whitney fans keep trying to stop our shine!? But anyways, I can't wait to hear this entire album. I have a feeling that this next single will be number 1. Its a classic, so the olden's will love it. And since its being covered by Mariah, the youngin's will love it too. Any time Mariah does a cover, its a smash hit! Oh yeah, KEEP CALLING FOR OBSESSED! WE NEED THAT TO RISE UP THE CHARTS THIS WEEK!!!!!!! NO MORE #11! I want #10 or Higher! Aim for # 1 lol

And to (mArIaH dOrK).... I love how u said, that's how Mariah rolls. You had me laughing so hard! But yes people, THAT'S HOW MARIAH ROLLS! SHE'LL OUTSELL both of those OLD COONS hanging at the mic upside down in the studio. Why? She's just that damn good! And Barbra? Seriously woman, have a seat. Madonna? Its time to reinvent. I'm tired of seeing the Madonna that thinks she's reinventing herself. And Whitney? You know you've lost it if you can't even sound good in the studio.

Does anybody know what the chances of Mariah advancing to the top 10 next week are?

i guess mariah wanted MOIA to be 'finished perfect' not for the Grammy Awards but to give back to her true loyal fans. go mariah!!!

yes your right @ lorenzo , mariah doesnt need a grammy. She's way to successful compared to its past winners..lol

Mariah's gonna win because she right her own songs..unlike the other Divas..Plus the fact that she have All of her LAMBS behind her back to support her..

So please guys , Im appealing to u..Continue to vote for OBSESSED..

O has a weak chance of cracking the Top 10.Although her airplay is FAB.It just rose 2mill in AI yesterday,with a +200 spins increase(AMAZING).

But her sales are descreasing very slowly.So she has a good chance of staying at #11.

BUT,lets hope she goes T10.!!!
Also,i voted for IWKWLI,I am in this place where i feel jitters when i hear that song and imagine Mimi's inerpretation of it.

To all those complaining about 100% not being on the album : If it's NOT included,and it is SO GOOD(which it is IMO),JUST IMAGINE HOW GOOD THE ALBUM WILL BE !!!!

Go mariah,That's how you roll.Go shit on Whitney and Madonna.

i chose "Up Out My Face" cuz it seems like it will b a really good song n i like da title lol

For those that want 100% maybe they will offer it as as a bonus single or something when the album comes out (Like when you pre-order on iTunes or something). I do believe "Obsessed" will be in the top 10 this week, if "Knock You Down", and "Good Girls Go Bad" continue to slide down some more.

Here's my prediction: Billboard Hot 100 - #10 (maybe #9), R&B/Hip-Hop Songs - #13 (might even be at #11, and Pop 100 - within the top 20.

Billboard Hot 100 Airplay as of 08/22/09, with 3 days left: "Obsessed" at #10 (+4.7 million).

keep voting, stream the video

just to clear things up, 100% is not going to be on the album, it was written for the "precious" soundtrack and is going to be there. plz keep supporting obseessed. common guys we just need 1 more spot that's all! can't wait for the album:)

hey I'm exited about 3 songs

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS

ANGEL CRY

ONE SUGGEST TO MARIAHDAILY mmmm you should put COMMENT SECCION LIKE mAriahconnection...

MARIAHDAILY AND
MARIAHCONNECTION are the best mariah carey pages

Fans. I live right in the island of Fiji in the South Pacific and i am currently working at Fiji Waters.I always admire when i saw MC sipping Fiji Waters everywhere she goes.I am a huge Mariah fan but the only problem I am facing right now is that i cant buy her CD on time as you know Iam living in the 3rd World COUNTRY but worry less i always make sure to vote for her 3 times a day on BET before i head to work (hehehehe..so funny as if iam watching BET countdowns)Anyway, I wanted to thanks Annette Lam for sending MC CD's by looking around in LA office that whoever is coming to Fiji and also making sure i get the CD but i always pay her back coz i dont want to buy in Fiji which not contributing to the Billaboard sales..Sorry if I sound pathetic and iam really looking forward to buy her latest album again and please can we work together to make ''obsessed'' come up the chart..Come on lambs if someone living in the remote island can dying supporting Mariah why cant US lambs support as many as they can? I wish i meet her one day as i always imagine that I am in her concert seeing her in person but too bad DVD is the only way I always catch her with..Thanks Mariahdaily for updating us on MC...Lots of Love from Sunshine Fiji Island

Looking forward to I Want To Know What Love Is ... but also for Angels Cry. Overall, I hope there is a sincere single that is a ballad that she can sing comfortably live BUT sound musical on ... no need for the HIGHEST of notes, especially since she can't do them live. Let's face it, Mariah's current rang cannot comfortably support songs like Love Takes Time, Anytime You Need a Friend, Butterfly, If Its Over ... (all songs with incredibly and consistently high notes sung in chest voice). Its the same as Bon Jovi trying to sing Livin' on Prayer lol ... BUT, if Mariah sung songs like Vision of Love, Make It Happen ...where the main melody is in a comfortable rang, yet the ad lips are at times impressive and high, she can stick to singing the melodies LIVE and musically adding the "added value" notes based on how she feels would fit the song that day. It would allow her to have a geniune sound, sung musically and artistically, always sung LIVE, and it was bring her TONS of respect in the industry... Not to compare to her Whitney (because I think that Mariah always sounded more musical that Whitney during her Live performances, since Whitney always seems to want to rush and "talk" a song and never "SING" the song and hold notes), but Whitney's new song does not emphasize on her 'previously' high range. Instead, Whitney tries to bring musicality and melody to the song.... No needs for songs like "Mine Again", Never Too Far, etc.,... which are songs that she records ::I'm guessing:: on a good vocal day and all she does is show us impressive vocal acrobats (something that impresses the non-musical) but never really delivers a truely musical song.... So lets hope that a more "MUSICAL" Mariah emerges after a few bumps in the past decade (I'd even call E=MC2 a bump on the road because the wrong singles were realized... I.M.O., For The Record should have been the second single realized. It would have EASILY shot to #1... it was the WBT-like ballad that was honest, r&b/soul, and musical)... ok, I'm done rambling! lolol ...

MARIAH IS DONE WITH THE ALBUM!!!!! YES!!!! she said it on her twitter!

MariahCarey:Yea.and hey. I'm finally back . My 2 bberys had ate thru the bottle. Today,we FiNALLY finished the album! Really gave my all for you (cont)
44 minutes ago from TwitterBerry

Yippee! thanks for the info @ Marquis

Please keep supporting OBSESSED

I'm very excited for the album and by herself saying she has put her all in the album, it seems this could also be a personal record like Butterfly, which remains one of my favourite albums of all time. I hope Mariah gets all the success she deserves. Keep supporting Obsessed :) I'm sure this album will be critically and commercially successful. Good luck Mariah!

Also, Obsessed at number 12 on Itunes :)

I'm excited about this whole album. Mariah always works best when she's got something to prove. (ex. Butterfly- that she could do her own thing w/o tommy, Emancipation- that she was still in the game.) So I'm okay with the all push backs aslong as she delivers a solid album but like the rest of u, I CAN'T WAIT to hear what's next!!!!!!!

Oops, looks like we need to hit up more Urban A/C radio stations. Obsessed is slipping on that radio format.
@ K.L.: I totally agree with you she definitely brings her A-Game when she is proving herself.

wat the hell almost every song stayed in it's place including mariah's! come on! why is i gotta feeling still at #1? i sware if it's there next week i'm gonna kill someone! we gotta keep supporting obsessed and make it crack the top 10 next week! LAMBS UNITE :)

The reason that almost every song in the top 10 didn't change was because it was just one of those steady weeks were sales don't change enough to make an artist increase or decrease their chart position. People were calling Obsessed a flop but i would like to see were Madonna and Whitney's new singles are. Exactly :) Mariah's new song has sold over 500,000 copies in 6 weeks. I agree Ariel. Yes, I've Gotta Feeling was worthy of the #1 spot but only for a week or two. I did not expect the Black Eyed Peas to top the charts for so long. Hopefully they will be knocked off the top spot. And the way airplay is going i'm not surprised is Mariah raises a few positions: 66M and still increasing. Obsessed is also holding steady at #14 on Itunes. Keep supporting Obsessed everyone. I'm very excited for the next single and especially the new album :D

"I wanna know what love is " is premiering tomorrow in europe !!!! We get to FINALLY hear it!!!!

OMG!! Those 15 seconds are PERFECT! I can't wait to hear the whole song. Go Mimi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope youtube backed their server up bc I'm gonna wear that snippet out until tomorrow. I love that odd feeling I get when I hear new Mariah. She's gettin ready to smash radio!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to hear "Up Out My Face". It sounds so GHETTOOOOOO!!!!!

if we know all the songs , why this album cancelled 2 times ?? isnt september 29th too long ??

in uk , r&b music is popular nowadays, especially tichy stryder, chipmunk vs..

she can featuring "obsessed" with this men. why obsessed didnt release ?

www.ratethemusic.com

obsessed no. 1 in urban and rhytmic but isnt in TOP 40 survey !!!, please

vote for mariah

amazon review <3333333333 *DEAD* at "Imperfect" - the song - not making it onto the record cuz it seemed itd be something along the lines of petals or outside which are extremely empowering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :'(. hope its a bonus track somewhere....... Ineed everyting she puts out!!!!! no words on angels cry???? and isnt it weird IWTKWLI is the last song on the album, doesnt feel right....... how long again a month???? i cant deal w/the anticipation. gimme my mimi right nowwwwwww!!!!!! amazon betta getthose snippets ASAP!

Wow, that was a great review from Amazon. It's so good read a positive review of Mariah, and her work... They focussed on her work, and the stregths of each song. It's almost too good to be true, as if they went so out of their way just to guarantee that people will buy the album from Amazon. Either way, I'm very happy with the review. So they took out "Imperfect," I'm ok with that. Isn't that the song that previously got a mediocre review anyway? I'm sure that we'll hear it at some point. Like any recent Mariah album, MOAIA will have some B-side tracks, or Japanese-release-only tracks that we'll find on the web. So no worries. This album is going to be great!

Amazing Review from Amazon...

******************************
Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel ends with a spectacularly powerful gospel rendition of Foreigner's gorgeous ballad, "I Want to Know What Love Is." Carey's voice soars into the heavens as a soul-stirring choir makes it clear that the search for love is the closest that any human being ever gets to the divine.
*******************
Hands down..im super excited..Yipee!! LAMBS ,SPECIALLY THE US LAMBS..Keep on supporting MARIAH..do your thang!

again wiht the whole TEOM formula
first the upbeaT song example,its like that, obsessed
now the ballad example we belong together, IWKWLI.

again wiht the whole TEOM formula
first the upbeaT song example,its like that, obsessed
now the ballad example we belong together, IWKWLI.

TEOM formula worked. It didn't work for E=MC2 b/c though "Bye Bye" was good it wasn't as stellar as "We Belong Together" and it was released after the album was already in stores. This time the formula could work for Mariah b/c anticipation is high and its debuting before the album is released. Mariah knows what she's doing. She's got a hit and she's ready to share it with us :)

This so called "TEOM" formula has always been the case for Mariah, with the exception of two, or three albums. Think about it... The only two albums where she released a ballad as a first single where in her first album--Mariah Carey with the single Vision Of Love. Then the second was Charmbracelet, with the single Through the rain. Besides those two, every other album had an upbeat/nonballad track as a first single, followed by a ballad. Emotions--first single was Emotions. Music box--first single was Dreamlover. Daydream--first single was Fantasy, followed by One Sweet Day. Butterfly--first single was Honey, followed by the ballad Butterfly. Rainbow---first single was Heartbreaker, followed by Can't Take That Away From Me. Even Glitter--Loverboy, followed by Never Too Far. And you should know the rest... So yeah, this whole thing about Mariah having an upbeat track followed by a ballad has been happening WAY before TEOM. Is it a formula?Maybe, but it usually works, and she's definitely not just trying to recreate the magic of TEOM. Mariah has had the midas touch from the beginning!
Go Mariah ;-)

Just heard the full version of Mariah's "I Want to Know What Love Is". She owned it. I knew she wouldn't let us down. '09 HAS A NEW ANTHEM!!!!!

i was obsessed with obsessed....not in love with I Want To Know What Love Is...im not happy...i was expecting way better from the reviews...the ending was the worst...all over the place... :(

I've listened to I wanna know what love is!! it's a very good job, it's more rnb flavour! but I think it's too short!! it ends too abrubtly!! Mariah please add 45 seconds more!!!!!!!!!

I guess I finally figured out what love is.

Art I did not read the question but read everyones comments. I'm still going to wait until the album comes out.

For those of you who think the album ends too abruptly and suddenly (I was thinking the same), it appears that it's what has leaked is just an edited (shortened) version of it, without the bridge. So, it WILL BE LONGER!

It's already incredible! The response has been overwhelmingly positive :D And even people who don't like it much admit that her voice sounds great (Perez Hilton for ex). ;)

Sorry I meant SONG not album :D *IWKWLI*

Although i thought IWKWLI was an epic song in its time, i was excited to hear the song and now i have, i think it is amazing. People complain, even now that she's "not singing the song they want." Hold on. You don't want her to sing songs like Obsessed and then you complain with a ballad. This version is amazing. And people say they want it to be longer, and it is longer, they have released the radio edit, so i cant wait to hear the rest. Mariah is an amazing vocalist after 20 YEARS :) Well done Mimi. Amazing cover. And one other thing, people who take Perez Hilton serious on his opinions is just as low as him. He is another person like me and you. No one special, so i don't see why he should have any influence on anyone else's opinion.

I'm sooo happy with this new single, it helped me forgetting about Obsessed. IWTKWLI is amazing, Mariah's voice once again is sooooo beautiful, I almost cried. This is the Mariah I love, and I've been waiting for something like this for a long long time. I really really feel this song close to my herat, and Mariah's rendition is almost perfect (if there's something "bad" to say, that would be the end of the song, in my opinion too many voices... It would have been perfect with her main voice only) MARIAH, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING US SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PRESENT. I LOVE YOU. Thaks for always think about the "old" fans. ;-)

OMG, this song is so beautiful... I've been listening to it for hours! It almost made me cry the first five times I heard it. I hope you guys are right about the extended version.

HollywoodLeo>>> i know what u mean. i almost cried with the 10 second clip, i did cry with the 45 second clip and i was bawling and smiling with the full thng. omg, omg.... :)
but we've gotta keep supporting obsessed lambs, lets go, top 10 baby!!

mariah is back,,,,,,i want know what love is ,,is just amazing i love the version the voice is here its very emotionalll i realy realy love it

I have now been listening to IWTKWLI on repeat for so long now. I just can't get enough of the song, and those high notes, keep giving me shivers. I can't name another artist who makes me actually respect them muscially as much as Mariah. She has shown the "haters" that she still has her voice, although it has changed a lot over the past 20 years, as expected. Mariah i wish you all the luck and i hope you tour sometime soon. Hearing this song live, i would be brought to tears, no doubt. You can hear the tenderness and the passion in her voice when she sings and it is very rare an artist is graced with such a quality.

in my mp3 player there r top 20 my most played 1.000 songs.. and number 1.touch my body (almost 1 year) 2. we belong together (number 1 a year ago ) 3. bye bye. 4. obsessed 5. OOC 6. take a bow (rihanna) 7. side effect 8. i'll be loving u long time 9. i stay in love. 10. as i lay me down (sophie b hawkins).. thats my top 10 song off all time.. i hope IWTKWLI will enter soon hehehe.. its amazing to hear the 45 sec of the song.. the feeling when i listening to it like very emotional.. i dont care about billboard position.. but i hope this song going to be #1 hehehe..

I hope too that this is the radio version and that the album version will be a bit longer and with a better ending. If not, i am sure that in her life performances she will change the ending like she did for We Belong Together. She might end with the piano alone or something. The 'Angel' era has officially begun, let's goooooooooo!

Very excited about Angels Cry, seems like to be one of the biggest song in MC career............... When Mariah sings i can really feel the love that she put in....
she has the pawer to bring me back home every time i listen to her.....
Thx MC

IWTKWLI is amazing!! I'm feeling Mariah's music like I haven't felt for years. I'm very excited, I can't find the word to express how much I love this side of Mariah carey. No one can make me feel what she makes me feel, I am so thankful. Thank you Mariah for sharing your magical voice with us once again. I love you. I've been a fan since 1993, and this song is like a present I've been waiting for for so long.

this site will let u listen to the full song of mimi's i want know what love is . http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mariah-Carey-MC/70393003056?_fb_noscript=1

IWTWLI
vocal : B
music : B+
soul, expression : A
OVERAL : B+
THIS COVER WILL definitely BECOME HER 19 NO 1 HITS ON US, AND POSSIBLY IT WILL BECOME HER THIRD NO 1 SONG IN UK AND SEVERAL EUROPE COUNTRIES.
I WONDER IF MARIAH COVER THIS SONG WHILE SHE WAS ON 90'S OR WHILE SHE STILL HAD THAT AMAZING VOICE, THE RESULT MUST BE GREAT AND PHENOMENAL.

OMG, IWTWLI,
I'VE HEARD THE ROUGH VERSION OF IT, BUT IT STILL GAVE ME A GHOOSEBUMP FEELING AND IM SO THRILLED TO HEAR THIS COVER,
MARIAH DID A GREAT JOB IN THIS SONG ALTHOUGH HER VOICE ISNT AS GREAT AS THE 90'S.
THE VIDEO CLIP OF THIS SONG MUST BE GREAT. AND IT WOULD BE GREAT IF SHE SING IT LIVE, JUST LIKE HER OLDIES VIDEOS, SUCH AS HERO, WITHOUT YOU OR FOREVER

IWTWLI, omg, i cant stop to play it IN MP3 PLAYER, i stil played it on and on and on and on.

ok lambs, i've officially heard all the songs on whitney's album and it sounds more like a jordin sparks album really. if u go listen to it u'll see what i mean. and the songs that r vocally ok r freaken boring! there r actiually some relevant songs and why she chose to release the shitty ones that she did i will never know. at least we know when mariah is singing, i almost didn't recognize this as whitney. whatever, as long as Angel is the smash it sounding like i'll be happy. keep supporting obsessed. TOP 10!!!

OMG I'm soooo exited about IWNWLI! I'm picturing a very professional video... We Belong Together meets I Still Believe with a full dose of the gritty vulnerability that she displayed in The Roof!!! I can't wait to see what will become of the video for this :D I just hope they don't try to invoke the Bringing on the Heartache video or the remake of Hero since those were weak sauce. It'd be interesting if she could even imitate the gritty metallic airiness of the old 80's videos like the Foreigner's video for IWNWLI. She should shoot it in the heart of Phillidelphia to get a very industrial feel. Either way the video will probably a very intimate one. I personally think that it would be awesome for Mariah to team back up with David Morales for some classic Dance remixes for IWNWLI (I Still Believe [The Kings Remix] is my all time fave):D

I just wanna say the IWKWLI is soooooooooooooooo f*$%^$& GOOODDDD!!! I love it soooooo much! Cant wait for this to impact US radio. And down the road for the third single... i hope its HATE U because the snippet is AMAZING! Uhh man im soooo proud of Mariah. For now im just going to support obsessed and get this in the top 10 where is should be.

omg u lambs we need to make sure we support our angel coz even if the album is way better than i look to you whitney will get sympathy sales so please request buy downlaod promote just get mariah on top i truly feel this could be the record of her career so make it happen

Hey dOrK, i can totally see what your saying. She should see if Michel Gondry or Diane Martel can direct it. It would be so visually interesting and artistic. She should definitely not try to be funny like Touch My Body or Obsessed.

OMG , i finally got IWTKWLS in my ITOUCH.. its brings back the Nostalgia..

I love her version and i kept on playing it over and over again.. im so freakin OBSESSED...hahahaha

Im so glad that obsessed is back at #1 at the BET COUNTDOWN..

I hope that her video will be like the WE BELONG TOGETHER kind of thingy..

I love mariah and i cant wait for the whole album..But again lambs , LETS SUPPORT OBSESSED...

keep on streaming the Video..aight!

cheers!

it's raining here, it's so mellow, and there IS A song IWTKWLI was played on my hifi stereo, THIS SONG MADE ME MELTING, .

hahahahahahahaha!! what's more, HAHAHAHAHAHA!! HAHA!! HA!! anyway, i agree with dork and synergy, but i'd like to add one thing: keep boob display to a minimum. awesome, awesome, awesome song!!

OMG, I feel like cancelling all the things I gotta do this weekend, stay home, and keep IWTKWLI on repeat. Is that normal? Ok, I am going to get off youtube now. Promise. Hahahahaha!
Go Mimi, let's goooooooooooooo!
Obsessed @ #10 soon! Let's support!

I can't understand why a "Whitney fan" is here on a Mariah fan website trying to defamate her name. Whoever you are, why are you doing this? There is no need for it, they are both amazing artists and have both contributed to the music industry. They have both encountered personal problems throughout their careers and Mariah made her comeback in 2005 with TEOM selling 10 million copies, when the music industry was in a healthier state. Now Whitney is making a comeback with ILTY in 2009 which will be lucky to sell 2-3 million because 1) The music industry is in a terrible state at the moment and 2) Whitney has lost many fans due to her personal problems and it may be that only her super fans will purchase the record, who knows? All that i know is that it's pointless arguing over opinions because they are OUR opinions. I enjoy listening to both Mariah and Whitney but Mariah will always be my favourite and she has proved, by releasing the single IWTKWLI, that she still has her voice. Whitney's voice has deteroriated through excessive drug consumption, that's inevitable. However, i hope her album is a success but i know who's album i'll be buying: Mariahs :D Sorry for the long comment.

thank u hey. this is random but does anyone know what I. L.Y.A.Y.A.E.Y means? i think it means i luv you, appreciate u and enjoyed u but i'm not 100% lol

I wish Mariah would have included Imperfect on the album, b/c this album seems to talk about only 2 things: her ex and Nick... I wish she would be more DIVERSE in terms of song themes/subjects...

Susy, "Imperfect" will probably be released as a B-side or a bonus single in a certain country. Mariah could be saving the song for a re-release, say for a "Deluxe Edition" but i hope the song is released. It sounds really personal and emotional.

Seriously, all you Whitney fans that come up over here just to put down Mariah and put your precious Whitney on a pedestal, all you guys just did is lose potential buyers for Whitney's CD. Did it ever occur to you that Mariah fans who appreciate a great voice like hers probably might appreciate a voice like Whitney's too? As a fan of true singers I would have totally bought Whitney's album out of respect for a fellow singer (because, trust me, i wouldn't be buying it for Whitney's vocals or even the musical production, boooring!) but now that I see what kind of fans she generates I will have to stick with just buying Mariah's. You don't see us lambs going over to Whitney sites and bragging about Mariah. Just know that YOU helped WHITNEY to LOSE potential album sales from LAMBS by coming to a Mariah related site and displaying your high and mighty attitude about your love for Whitney Houston.

WOW!!! IWTKWLI is really good, specially the gospel end, got goosebumps but I hope a loooonger version is released not only for the album but for the single.

i don't understand why whitney fans hates mariah to high heavens. you can praise your whitney but not the expense of mariah. its a pity on your part since mariah have come long, long way over whitney. mariah could exist without whitney. it just shows what kind of fans you are-insecure. whitney fans you are most welcome to leave mariah's site..

Now dont make me mad just get out and help your crack head diva Whitney Houston up the chart.I think she has gone down on hot 100 this week.

mariah you should fix your stage performance. improve your live act sing.
if you do.
a stadium concert sold out , await you.
i dont want to see your another crap live performance.
btw, I LOVE YOUR REMAKE "I WTKWLI",.
NOTE: DONT MAKE TOO MANY APPEARANCES AND SINGING LIVE AT MANY SHOW, PICK THE SELECTED PRESTIGIOUS SHOW, LIKE GRAMMY

THIS IS A GREAT REMIX
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGcKfh-DtOo.
NEW OFFICIAL REMIXES OBSSESED, BUY IT GUYS, IT WORTH EVERY PENIES, YOU WONT REGRET

I hope they don't release the second single the same day as the album, because they will not work. Look at "Bye Bye" being released a day before the album release date. That's why it didn't do as good. If she would've released "Migrate" first then "Touch My Body", then "Bye Bye", her singles would've gotten somewhere. Reid doesn't know anything about choosing singles/nor promotion wise either. I bet if she was still with Columbia Records, she would be as big as she was in the 90's.

IWTKWLI is amazing! It's so beautiful the way Mariah sings, I think she haven't sung with so emotion and soul since....1997?? I love Mimi, but I am a Mariah carey fan. This is the kind of singing that make me support and love her. She is the greatests. She has the most beautiful voice, with or without high and powerfull notes. Just her voice, it's the most beautiful thing in the world. I can't wait for the whole album.

I don't like Obsessed... Sorry, but I don't like it at all, and I'm a big fan.

IWKWLI is very good. I just hope she will make a good music video for this one. I thinks it is about time that MC creates a matured video...something that is new and fresh. Most of her music videos have the same theme.

Anyway, I love her version of IWKWLI! Go MC!

Mariah's IWTKWLI's really awesome... :) I hope it does great at radios too and gets a warm welcome by the audience... But I WON'T GIVE UP on OBSESSED! Not NOW! Please CONTINUE SUPPORTING it! <<< http://Obsessed.rules.it >>>

So, does anyone know if the version of IWTKWLI on Youtube is the real version of if it's the radio format? If they made a cut I think it's at 2:34. Hmmm...

Most of the old fans I know (and me too) were very dissappointed with Mariah for the past years, althouth they kept supporting her like they used to do. I've been talking to them these past days, and they are very exited, they are very happy, they are enjoying Mariah's music again. They said IWNWLI is pure emotion and that's what they love from Mariah. We're all as excited as we were back them, before "Mimi" came. We love Mariah. I just hope the new album has at least one or two more "old Mariah" songs. I'll support her whatever one more time like I've been doing since 1992.

I love I Want To Know What Love Is!!!!! Mariah's version is stellar. Let's not give up on Obsessed yet. It still has a chance to enter Top 10. Request on all radio stations, Vote for it on all countdowns, Stream it and the remix only on AOL and Yahoo, Download it on iTunes, Rhapsody, Amazon, Napster, and Walmart and Buy the Physical Single of Obsessed in Walmart stores now!!!!!!!!!!

what the fuck !
what happened to the song I want to know what love is.
They blocked all the songs posted at the begining; and now there are new ones. Its the same song exept the fact that they change the vocals. Mariah didn'nt sing it again. they just pay an sound engineer that fucked up the vocal.
he put a stupid EQ or i dont know which type of stupid effect that make her sound to light; to airy.
Stupid ass.
He didn't understand that wat was captivating was the low pitch on her voice; we want to feel her in the dark zone of her voice.
I m so pissed off
they try to harrd
the song was good from the first leak
todays or yesterday leaked song sounds to light; rahhhh
stop that
her voice is perfect natural
take off that stupid eq
we want her voice as low as it was at the beguining , when it starts
please put back the firts leaked songs
not that new version mixed by i dont know which stupid engineer
rahhhhhh !!!
Does anyone notice it
thare is just a very small difference on the quality of her voice
they made it sound lighter
put it back as it was
We love mariah lows
that is wat touch people
i m so so so pissed off
....
wat the fuck are they doin
?
im so mad
I m sure not a lot of people can tell
but I can tell it's a different mix today compare to the other day when I hear it
specially in the verses
please tell mariah
please
the song doesnt even touch me anymore
it needs to be back the way it was
please
u better do it if u want it to be the successs she deserve
Ilove the lows on that songs, it remind me the lows on "there for me"
I m telling you; put it back the way it was

I said put it back the way it was; do it right now

--yeah i noticed that too. i think they just did that so people wont get used to the song until its properly released. that doesnt even sound like mariah... but im pretty sure its gonna sound normal when it gets released the right way...*

I have a very importante message for Mariah:
I know she feel a bit lost about wich part of the range she should use;
which single to pick up, the withney come back, the old fans, the new fans, the ballads, the r&B track Etc...
All I have to tell her is : " what ever u gonna do, you can not please everybody because eveyone has his own taste and preferences. So try to please you firts by singing the way u like to; choose the single u feel right; and trust your heart"

who cares about perz hilton comments or who ever.

Dont even listen to def jam advices, but trust yourself. Listen to the voice of god inside you and stop paying attention to every little things people says.

U had a plan in mind at the beginning and u kind of shift it all just because of some stupid internet reactions.

u have to trust your heart; not the management, not la reid, not tommy, not medina or tcindy; not even your fans; ... listen to yourself; ... you re the one gifted and you re the one to sing. it is ur life, ur carreer, ur music... For the other people u are just a product, a business, or an idol.

But to u, u know who u are; ... so please put it out there.

couldnt have said it better aac-new york....ur soo correct...and wen its a song u know mariah really loves she sings it a lot better live and in the record u hear her heart in it...but wen its not u see and hear the big difference...

CALLING ALL LAMBS! GET ON HIS ASS!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbISfx6e5Mk&feature=related

ALTHOUGH I DID GET A LAUGH OUT OF IT.

thank you "art" for approving my comment.

and by the way, IWKWLI is above what we what we dreamed of in terms of emotions. That vocal zone she place her voice to sing the verses is amazing and we all know there is no other singers capable of singing like that.
... That deep voice; it touches you like nothingelse before. It is so special...
No one else can do it.
It is this part of her range that gave us: butterfly/my all/there for me/open arms/we belong together/the roof/...
Dont get me wrong; i love the rest of her range; but this zone is so unic ...

We love MC

I have chosen Angels Cry because I the title is catchy. I this is a Vision Of Love-like song, this will be a smash hit!

By the way, I love her version of I Want To Know What Love Is. She did a good job!

Go Lamb!

for copyright infringement reasons, the original version of iwtkwli is no longer available. that's why you can only find this distorted, helium-voiced crap. however, you can still listen to the original at perezhilton.com (i don't know about other sites). don't worry. be happy.

The remake is nice, however I hope that fade out at the end is non exsitant on the album itself. Imagine if Fly Like A Bird faded out right before the climax when she said, "I need you jesus". It was going so so high. Mariah never does fade outs often and I hope this is the truth on this track.

Anyway the track is best in the last half. It really needed live drums in the first half. Tricky should not have been included on the track as a co producer. Jim could have done this by himself seeing that his half was the best part :(

please, please remove or deleted finger snap at first verse of the song IWTWLI, it's so annoying to hear that

finger snap at verse of the song IWTWLI make this song sounded cheap, please remove and change it to other instrumen,.

Im not very happy about the new single I Want Know What Love Is. I feel like Mariah isn't up to her potential. She has a unique voice and she isn't using it. I always tell people she's more then what we normally hear on the radio. The artist who use like four notes and don't use their real talent. Im very upset that Mariah is becoming that. What made me a fan of her is that she was different. Now she's becoming like everybody else. I miss her old stuff she used to create. The powerful Mariah I used to know through her music. Now, I can barley reconize her. Her music just doesnt effect me like it used to. I own all her albums.. now, im not very excited about this one.

@Tiff I'm a big "old Mariah" fan. And IWTKWLI is a present for us, the ones who love that Mariah Carey. I recognize in the song the emotion that made me fall in love with her. I'm so happy this happened again.

@Silvana.... You're right, all of the ppl that were complaining that they wanted to hear the old Mariah get to hear her once again. She took a lil' break I suppose lol

continue to support OBSESSED

i get so disappointed of people who still dont wanna support Obsessed. And by people I mean her fans, who obviously forgot or are too lazy to remember what a struggle it was for her to get her songs played on the radio or even get released as commercial singles during the Rainbow-Glitter-Charmbracelet eras. Hell, i thought that Boy I Need You was an awful choice for single but still I supported it, plus the video turned out great. Please don't take this for granted, yes the song IS getting played w/o too much hype but somehow it has turned out to be a slow burner hit for her standards, and without any type of promo from her camp, this is actually a blessing. Still needs the support from the fans, isn't that obvious? I don't want another E=MC2 kind of thing where everything went downhill after Touch My Body. And yes, I Want To Know What Love Is is a return to form but its time will come right after we're done with Obsessed which by the looks of it, it still has a lot of room to grow. Currently #2 on Rhythmic format and still gaining! It could even hit #1 but I don't think that song by Jay Sean will let it get there. After stalling for a bit in Urban radio it has gained so much again it's sitting at #7 and still gaining. Pop radio finally seemed to catch on it and it's currently the 4th greatest gainer with +600 spins and about to go top 20 there. Thank God the controversy didn't make that much noise, which could've just killed this right at the beginning. I'm almost certain it won't go to #1 and that's fine, but I'd like to be proven wrong. I really liked IWTKWLI but I don't see why it has to be released so soon to radio with Obsessed still going strong. Ok, I'm done. For those old enough, remember when we had to sign an online petition to Columbia to get CTTA released or when TTR only went to #75 on BB?? That wasn't too long ago. Support the woman for God's sake. Peace. Oh and stop bashing Whitney Houston, you obviously didn't live through the Glitter era. She has every right to have a huge comeback and I wish her all the best!

whoa sorry for the long rant!

I love I want to know what love is:)

It's ok "Me," I've done that myself a few times. At least you have something to say, and contribute. Since when is it wrong to make valid points? I agree, we need to keep supporting Obsessed. At this point, Mariah is counting on her fans more than ever. Part of the reason why Obsessed hasn't even reached the top ten yet is because people are not paying for downloads, they're getting the song for free through file sharing. This is hurting sales, which of course affects the song's chart position. It really sucks for MC that the economy is so bad. The last thing people are thinking about at the moment is spending money on CD's, when their bills need to get paid, or they're unemployed. So we really have to support MC through out this entire album, despite of what singles get released. We may be all she's got...

@ Me and Hollywood..

u guys are right..Lets support MC..i know there are other Die hard fans here..so please..do your thing...

Mariah really put a lot of effort in finishing the album and the songs...

So please help Stream it..specially OBSESSED....

I voted for IWKWLI and I can tell you I was NOT dissapointed!! Mariah rocks it!! I really am excited about the whole album b/c I wasn't expecting another one this soon. I think she will definitely have her 19th #1 with this album. I agree with the comments about supporting Mariah. I've been a fan since day one and I will always stand behind her. There are a lot of haters out there so we need to continue to show our love for her.

Keep supporting Obsessed!!!!

@ ME

Correct. However I chose not to support Obsessed because I am just upset that she keeps trying to impress the kids when her true original fans get nothing. So finally we got "I Want TO Know.." and I am satisfied. Not so much with some of the production but the fact that she established that we are a fan base. The kids are not going to buy her album its US that have been there for her that are going to actually go to the store and get it while the kids are just going to download it for free.

Thats all it is. Im 27 not a kid anymore. Its just refreshing to hear songs like Circles, Say Something, The Wind, I Wish You Well. MAture upbeat tunes like her David Morales tracks with her background singers. It's ok to try to impress kids too but at least make most of it be about the original Lambs. Not people that started to ride the wagon since Emancipation O' Mimi came out.

anybody catch whitney's performance??!! She was TERRIBLE !!! Her voice is totally GONE

I HOPE WHITNEY'S BACKUP SINGERS GET PAID A LOT! THEY DID ALL THE SINGING LOL People complain about Mariah not singing but at least when Mariah sings, her back up singers are doing their job. BACKING MARIAH UP! lol

I'm sorry Isaiah, but you're just using the oldest excuse in the book to justify your lack of support. The "kids" brought her a new life when Emancipation came out, yet those "kids" are buying into Miley Cirus and BEP. I'm also 27 and listening to Obsessed doesn't make you immature. If anything is the most "in your face" record she has ever done. You don't think I can tell the difference between a "Vision Of Love" and a "Touch My Body"? Her records always have every type of song for every type of mood. That's why you'll always get a "Migrate" and then close off with an "I Wish You Well" and those hidden gems that don't necessarily get released are the true gifts for the long time fans "Close My Eyes", "Outside", "Circles", "For The Record", "Petals". Now I'm all for the connection between the Artist and the quote-unquote loyal/true fanbase so I hope that when IWTKWLI becomes the hit that "Obsessed" has been so far you don't have to thank those Emancipation "kids" for helping the song get some recognition, or if it happens otherwise you'll have to blame the "loyal" fans for not supporting her enough.

anyone know how well whitney's new cd is doing? how many sold? just curious and dont know where to go to find out...

ohh and omg her gma performance was horrible...im srry i love her but wow...and then they say mariah has lost her voice...

ohh and to isaiah...i have been a lamb since butterfly era but i became an obsessed fan during emancipation era that doesnt make me any less of a lamb then you...and no i dont like every song she has and i dont agree with all her singles but as a lamb its my job to support her as she does her hard work in releasing album after album for us...

I wanna know what love is - it's so powerfully done by Mariah that it
gives you goosebumps.What can I say Mimi, you are the BEST and after being
your fan for the last 19 years makes me so damn proud of you. Thanx for your
short visit to Cape Town a few months ago.I'll stay a loyal fan 4ever!!!

I'm so excited for the album, it's unbelieveable :) Also, 28th Septemeber the album is released where I am, UK. Also i'm a fan of Whitney and I'll support her if I like her material. However, i'm not feeling the recent singles that she has released and the little snippets we have heard. I'm not attacking her just because this is a Mariah site but she has been brought up frequently over the past few weeks. I just think she has lost that flare she used to have, the special quality that captivated us. Her performance at GMA was terrible. Some of the words she was speaking and then when she tried the big notes, she just sounded in pain. Hoarse isn't even the word to use. I feel so sorry for her and I won't be purchasing her album due to the singles i've heard, as they do not impress me. I'm still a fan of hers but just not in this ILTY era. I also respect her for singing live. However, I will be purchasing Mariah's album as I love her new singles and the clips I've heard of the new songs and the way she has said "she has put it all" into it. Also, Mariah for me, has helped me a lot more with her songs than Whitney. It almost feels as if Mariah is singing them to you. I'm very excited. Sorry for the long comment :)

[Whitney Houston has a lot to smile about. According to Hits Daily Double the singer’s new album “I Look To You”, is on schedule to sell anywhere from 250,000 to 275,000 copies. This will be Whitney’s highest debut ever and I believe her third album to debut at #1. A lot of people wrote Whitney Houston off but the singer has definitely proven that she is still a viable force to be reckoned with in the music industry. If Whitney can now follow up these great first weeks sales with great live performances (GMA & Oprah), I think there will be no stopping her.] Just in case you guys were wondering. Our Queen Mariah really has nothing to worry about :D Although I do have to say Congratulations, Whitney, for having the guts and the drive to come back from all the crazy mess you've been through :) I'm sure shes really trying her best right now and I commend her for that. She really was one of the best. Hopefully next album she'll get someone who can write her some REAL hits so she can start getting back on the charts with her songs. Its a shame her voice is so broken now after all the drugs. Anyway, I'm very excited for Mariah's Album guys! We really have to continue supporting all aspects of this album (yes, including Obsessed) if we want to see a huge impact with the album. I mean think about it its good to Say buy Mariah's new album but what if it sounded like Buy Mariah's new album featuring the #1 hits Obsessed and I Wanna Know What love Is.

PS: i did not write the part in brackets its from a source :P Just in case my earlier message looks confusing.

I want to hear "Candy Bling" and "H.A.T.E U". Those are the two most anticipating songs on the album I want to hear !

LMFAO!!!! Mariah's wondering if she can be half is good as Whitney? I doubt that. She's probably wondering why Whitney sounded like she was getting punched in the stomach on GMA. Mariah is THE VOICE! She's the one who's back for another round of greatness.

What kind of village idiot chimes in by saying that the Great Mariah is wishing she was half as good as Whitney and then begs us to support her failing excuse for a song "I Look To Crack"!? Talk about desperate and pathetic. FACE IT Whitney put out some crap singles and her producers didn't try hard enough to cover up her busted ass voice! Whitney just needs to make sure she hire people who know how to write and produce hit songs. Perhaps Mariah. I'm sure she has an extra hit song that she wrote and co-produced that she'd be happy to help Whitney with. If Mariah WAS half as good as Whitney that would mean she would have to make it so that Obsessed didn't even get on the charts at all considering that Whitney only managed to get on the Hot 100 at a mere #74 then dropped off like prom dress. Hell, then she'd have to make it so that she had 15 less #1 songs. Then she'd have to sound like only half a strangled cat. Sorry Whitney, these crazed fans of yours drove me to saying it :(

@Synergy! LMAO! I love you! ANd I love how you said Whitney's single dropped off the Hot 100 like a prom dress! And yes, Whitney should let mariah write and co-produce a song for her.

I hope IWTKWLI also goes up for downloads the same week Mariah performs on Oprah b/c radio(especially pop) always gives her a hard time at first. If it does I think she'll def have a #1 single. If not then us lambs are gonna have to work overtime =)

IWKWLI is AMAZING but..In today's world,a video is EQUALLY important.EVERYONE on planet earth(lambs or otherwise) wants to see a FABULUOUS vid for the new song.That entails NO LYING DOWN,No Cleavage,No seductive shots,NONE OF THAT !!!

The way Leona Lewis runs around in the video of RUN..that should have been YOU.In a freakin GOWN and not a mini skirt.

this video should be mature as hell,like you siging on the top of a waterfall with flailing your arms and full emotion.That's how i imagine THE MARIAH CAREY.

Lambs,plz lets take this seriously.YALL HAVE TO BOMBARD HER TWITTER.IT'S THE ONLY WAY.WE HAVE TO GET HER TO MAKE A WONDERFUL VIDEO.

lEts go.

Madonna released her vid,celebration shot up to #54 on itunes from #300.
Mary J blige's "awesome' vid for her flop single has created a heavy buzz for the single.

Mariah PLEASE PLEASE WAKE UP.Let's GET REAL.PLLLLLEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSEE.

JUST GIVE US a GOOD video.Better than WBT ...yes.Please.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS! WHY THE F**K IS OBSESSED STILL AT NUMBER 11???? I'm sick of this. Us lambs don't seem to be doing our job. I know damn well those 463,000 people that bought E=MC2 in the first week can pick up a phone or go online and vote! I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER BEEN THIS ANNOYED BY THE #11.

#11 .... 3 weeks in a row. I will never give up. I will keep on voting and voting for my mimi at least the yahoo video stream shows some improvement.Come on guys, let's work overtime and vote for mimi @
http://obsessed.rules.it/

I'm loving the new picture for I Want To Know What Love Is :) That sort of emotion and style should of been used for Memoirs, although i personally don't mind the album cover, people have expressed "negative" views. But yeah, I really like the cover of the single. She looks beautiful!

@ Isaiah

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU, I'll make your words mine: "However I chose not to support Obsessed because I am just upset that she keeps trying to impress the kids when her true original fans get nothing" I'm not suppoting Obsessed, just because I think it's one of the worst Mariah song EVER. This is not MARIAH CAREY. Sure, kids can help her in charts. But if IWNWLI don't even enter the Billboard Hot 100, I'll be happier than if Obsessed got # 1.

IWKWLI is pure Mariah Carey. That´s what we want to hear. We (real fans) care more about quality and powerful and emotional songs, than hits. We don't need hits (Mariah has a lot of them) We need MUSIC. And I'm sure, making MUSIC we'll have hits.

omg the IWTKWLI cover is great. it's modest and sincere which exactly what it should be. but i agree with u guys, the video can make or break a song. WHY THE HELL R BEP STILL AT #!. WTF!!!!!!!! how is it that obsessed went up in almost everything else and remains #1 on certain charts and yet still hasn't gone up one spot. LAMBS UNITE!!!! this is the week. and as for the sry ass whitney fan, her performance was to the world as paula abdul's singing is to the grammy's, shitty and fake. and her lame excuse of "i was on oprah the day b4" what is that? ccommon whitney if u can't hit the notes at least get in ur range. i'd rather her sing easier notes better than hav her TRY to hit hard notes TERRIBLY

Wow! I really like the IWTKWLI! :) Please, support OBSESSED: http://Obsessed.rules.it

I meant the IWTKWLI cover... :)

Alright, cmon lambs! Keep on Supporting Obsessed! It Stayed at #11 this week! Ugh! We need to have it AT LEAST in the Top 10!!! Also, make sure to buy a ticket to her Vegas concerts if u r nearby! I have my ticket for Oct.9! I can't wait!

--ok i am so sick of these "old mariah fans" saying obsessed is not her. if it wasnt her she wouldnt have released it! some of yall are so freakin stuck up because she chose to please the 'urban' [black] fanbase. get over it! you keep saying this and that is not MARIAH CAREY. do you know her enough to say whats her and whats not? obsessed built up LOTS of hype for the album and if she would have released some sort of ballad as the 1st single it would have ended up like Whitney's i look to you. it was a smart move for her to release something for the "kids?" since they are the ones buying up itunes. NEWSFLASH! its 2009 and this is a business. Mariah has been pleasing the "kids" her entire career. she would not be successful if she didnt have a youthful vibe to her songs. this is not the 90's anymore. big ballads dont do well on the charts and they dont help out the album sales. thats why im glad Mariah finally is releasing IWTKWLI so you "old mariah fans" can STFU with all this nagging and saying that you really know the real mariah. and the song is still contemporary enough to do well on radio. And please stop comparing her voice from 90's to now. do you really think she wanted her voice to be deteriorating? you cant blame her because theres really nothing she can do about it. we know her voice is not what it used to be but do you really have to bring it up all the time. just SHUT UP for a change and just be glad mariah is still making music for yalls asses and stop complaining...*

--sorry for the long post but some of yall really work on my nerves. lol...*

honey----couldnt have put it any better!!!!!

albert----im going to oct. 9th too...maybe well see eachother..cant wait

I cannot wait for "Candy Bling" !!!! It apparently samples Ahmad's "Back in the Days" and that is one of my favorite songs ever! I cant wait to see how Mariah used it and they say its her slowest R&B jam to date!!!! damn, i cant wait!

@ art, cool ur going! where are you sitting???

I agree with --Honey* Let Mariah handle the music. She knows the business, (and yes it is a business and yes the business right now is geared towards kids since they are the only ones that are oblivious to the economy they buy their music to their spoiled little hearts content) She's been doing music for a good while and she's still manages to remain relevant. Oh, and I also wanna say this to all you Classic Ballads Only Mariah Fans: "Here you go. Mariah has handed you guys a classic ballad on a silver platter so you can bask all that is the 'old' Mariah. Just to remind you, ballads are so not hot right now so I better be seeing all you guys pushing for a Number One just like the rest of us have been busting our asses getting Obsessed in the spot its in now. You guys complained about it enough so its only fair that you guys get off your whiny butts and help your girl out some. Time to see how useful you guys can be for a change." I will be supporting the album in its entirety so looks like I'll be supporting both songs :D

Geez I can't deal either with these self proclaimed "real" fans. I'm just glad I can enjoy every aspect of her musical spectrum. And I've been listening to her since the very beginning thanks to my mother and became a fan by the time Daydream came out, enjoying every single thing she's put out. I guess that makes me more of a "real" fan?? LMFAO! Like honey said, she's always appealed to young generations, she's just been blessed enough to appeal to young generations for 20 years straight. I'll just say I had a good laugh at Adriana's post cause that shit made no sense at all! "But if IWNWLI don't even enter the Billboard Hot 100, I'll be happier than if Obsessed got # 1" WTF was that!?...... "We need MUSIC. And I'm sure, making MUSIC we'll have hits" again, WTF was that?? and doesn't she need to achieve some kind of success, as in reaching the much wider non-fanbase, in order for a song to be considered a hit by the masses? Come on, think outside your bubble, let's go back to that ass comment about IWTKWLI not making it into the BB charts....... pfff! you can do whatever the fuck you want, I'm just glad Obsessed is a hit even without the support from the "real fans"

I don't mind being compared to Whitney, there are people miles worse to be compared to. - Mariah Carey

If critics have problems with my personal life, it's their problem. Anybody with half a brain would realize that it's the charts that count. - Mariah Carey

What a joke, you people that say Obsessed is not Mariah and thats why ur not supporting it! WHAT??? I dont get it? Its not Mariah, but she wrote it, and sang it and starred in the video, right? Sound to me like its a Mariah creation! Yep sounds like its 100% Mariah to me! What do you want her to do, keep singing the same style of music that was popular 15 years ago, and have everyone bag her out saying she hasnt evolved...rarh rarh rarh! As a fan you should be glad she is trying new things, and experimenting with her music! I know I am!

On another note, there are certain people that say "definately mariahs next number 1", "sure fire number one hit" etc. I mean with the charts as they are, a good song doesnt always go to #1 and crappy songs are! I mean look at Miley Cyrus for example! What you americans see in her is beyond me!! So lets face reality, noone knows if a song is going to go to number one, so stop trying to predict it!

IF U ARE REAL FANS , YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT OBSESSED ..!!

what does it mean "real fans" , "older fans" , obsessed for "kids"

what are you babbling ??

I think the person who doesnt support obsessed, isnt a fan ; only a listener !

DANNNNNNNNNNN & Honey. I totally agree with you guys, best said. To Marquis Corrales, I don't think it's the fans (lambs) it's just that people are buying more than obsessed (meaning the other songs that's on top), and have stronger airplay/radio-play. It's eating me up too, that's she's stuck at number 11 again (can't seem to past its peak). Sales for "Obsessed" are very steady (which is very good). and her airplay seems to be picking up. I just hope it can stay solid like this in sales/airplay (radio) by this time next week. Who knows, it might just make it into the top 10 :)

Also, shouldn't M.O.A.I.A be available for pre-order on iTunes already? I know they're going to offer some bonus material. One more thing, when M.O.A.I.A comes out "Obsessed" will gain more attention (sales wise).

Another thing guys, here I am looking through wikipedia on Mariah and this is what its saying. <--> The song is not eligible to chart in the Billboard Hot 100, due to conflicting terms regarding its release. According to Paul Shugart, director of the Billboard Heatseekers and Hot 100 Airplay, Island Def Jam declared to shelve "Obsessed" as the first official single. Also, during the month long release of "Obsessed", Carey and her management, released a statement that "I Want to Know What Love Is" will be the first official single from the Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. Island Def Jam also released a statement exclusively to Billboard that each airplay tally for "Obsessed" will be tabulated to the airplay rotation of "I Want to Know What Love Is", after dismissing the former as the main single. Billboard's rules currently follows that a separate tally will be made for each single, however, Def Jam continued to defend "Obsessed" as a promotional single, and not an official release. Due to this violation, "I Want to Know What Love Is" is currently banned from charting in the Hot 100.

Sorry, the song is "I Want To Know What Love Is" wanted to mentioned that in the beginning. I generally don't believe wikipedia, because it's definitely not accurate. Sorry for all the post(s) guys :)

I CAN'T download "Obsessed" from Amazon cuz it says it's just for residents in the States only... :(((

Of course: In Mariah Daily it says: "US Fans..." I just didn't see it... :)

Mariah has released more than just "Hero" that has been timeless music. What about Vision of Love? Or Anytime You Need A Friend? Or Love Takes Time? Or Butterfly? Or Through The Rain? Or Fly Like A Bird? Or I Wish You Well? They're timeless songs. People judge Mariah based on one single. Obsessed was aimed at the younger audience because that is where the business is nowadays. Like in the 90s many more adults would buy CDs were the music was different and the music industry was in a healthier state but now it is the digital era, which is mainly occupied by teenagers or young adults. Also, what about her rendition of IWTKWLI? That was an amazing interpretation of a song, she made it her own, and incorportated her own abilities and emotion. Whitney, yes, has provided us with unbelieveable music but even if you don't like Mariah or her music, at least respect it. Why bother coming to a Mariah site to criticise her? There's no point. We don't go to Whitney's site and criticise her, although i do like her music, some people do not, but they don't go attacking her because they at least appreciate her. Your opinion is just ignorance at its worst. Sorry for the long comment :)

This really sucks the "I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS" want even enter into the hot 100 that could of been mariah 19th number one and now she has to wait for the 3rd single to come out...

Ok, So real fans are the ones who don't care about Mariah's music, the ones who just support her so that he can have another number 1.... You know what? If it is a real fan, then I prefer to be a "Hater", who enjoys Mariah's talebt and doesn't care TOO MUCH about charts.

When people say Obsessed is not Mariah Carey, what I think too, means that it is Mimi. But IWTKWLI is Mariah Carey. A lot of people (me too) love Mimi. But Mariah Carey is a Legeng that the whole world (not only US) loves.

Mimi is loved in US

Mariah Carey is loved worldwide.

There's no "Mimi"... "Mimi" IS Mariah... and is loved worldwide... :)

wow, this is getting philosophical

Thank u Bobby I was going to say the exact same thing. Mimi is no alter ego so stop splitting her in half. You act like We belong Together never happened. Like someone said, at this point if you just like certain type of songs from her you're just a listener, not a fan of Mariah's music. And it's not just about charts, it's about supporting the artist you claim to be a fan of. In the case of popular music this support translates into chart success and album sales, and that's what we've learned since she came out as she's always been behind a record label so it's not like she was an indie artist who hit it big after years and years of releasing music. If you don't like or don't care when she gets chart success well then, newsflash, that takes away most of her career. I'm not going as far as saying every single song of hers has to go to #1 in order to be considered a hit, but if it gets there along the way, then it's meant to be. You're stupid if you think that only an artist's fan base can get a song to #1, it can be an exception but certainly not the rule.

It kinda sucks that Obsessed is still at #11. It's not that people aren't voting, at this point Obsessed is getting more airplay than TMB did when it hit number one. The problem is that not many people are downloading the song. The main group of people that were going to buy Obsessed, already bought it the day it came out. That's why it went to number 4 on iTunes within hours of coming out, and that's why it started at number 11 on the Hot 100 (before it went back down)... and remember, at that point it had virtually no airplay. It had debuted on that spot mostly based on downloads. If that many people downloaded the song right now in one week, then it would shoot to number one. I wish that there was a way to reach all the MC fans across the country, and get them to download the song again in the same week (this week, or next week). Then the song would totally shoot to number one. But everybody has to be in on it.
I think I have it figured out. When a new single comes out, we need to vote like crazy so that it can get airplay, and take off. But we hold off on buying the song for a few weeks until the song is getting at least 8000 spins a week, and THEN we purchase the song. Between the audience impressions/spins, and the massive downloads, the song is bound to go to number one. That could happen now if a significant amount of people decided to purchase the song in ONE week. See, this is where Mariah went wrong in canceling all the promotional performances (MTV, VH1, GMA, etc.). If she would've done all of those, then the song would at least be in the top ten by now.

Obesessed more airplay than Touch My Body??? hahahahahaha

Yes Josefa, Touch my Body reached number one at around 9500 spins, and Obsessed has already over 13,000. The difference is that people were legally downloading the song back then, and not this time around. Do you have something to contribute besides your laughter?

Obsessed is now #5 on Amazon! This free thing is working nicely! Im tellin y'all if obsessed doesnt enter the top 10 this week it'lll be a conspiracy

went up to #13 on Itunes, almost #12. Liking the consistency 2 months into its release :)

I'm thinking this could've gotten so much higher and way faster if she'd had the time to fully promote it. It's obvious by now she's not pushing this. It's basically riding on its own. This has never ever happened to any of her singles before, at least since I've started following her chart stats. That's what's so groundbreaking about it. Imagine "Butterfly" or "The Roof" or "Breakdown" enjoying this sort of thing. Justice would've been made!

bobby brown, emancipation of whitney? lol, please you are most welcome to leave mariahdaily.com. neither whitney will be most welcome for her biggest flop of the history of comeback. shoooooo!!!!

Emancipation of Whitney? I'd prefer it if you didn't adopt the name of Mariah's album which marked her infamous comeback. Whitney, yes, has made a good attempt at a comeback and her voice has improved from her earlier performance this decade but i think her voice is beyond repair. So, in my mind, calling her "The Voice" is not correct anymore although that respect towards her still remains and as you mentioned yourself the "CLASSIC." She isn't relevant to today's music industry, i'm not being critical, i'm being realistic. Also, her singles have flopped. You can't say Mariah's has, maintaining her position for almost 2 months now selling over 600,000 downloads. All i'm saying is, stop trying to elevate Whitney's comeback, everyone already knows, and how can you say it's Whitney's year? Her album has just been released, you don't know if it has the longevity in the charts to sell a lot. So please, stop wasting your time on a Mariah site. Once again, sorry for the long comment :)

HollywoodLeo, now you are talking about spins. But before you said Obsessed has more AIRPLAY than TMB had. And it's not true. And please, dont' act like if everybody is a hater............. Obsessed is Mariah's worst single EVER (with Boy) I LOVE HER, but I can tell the truht

WHO IS GOING TO THE VEGAS CONCERTS?? I HAVE MY TICKET FOR OCTOBER 9! I WANNA KNOW WHO ELSE IS GOING!!! SUPER EXCITING!

"The Emancipation of Whitney - 2909 will be Whitney's year, she is and always will be - the CLASSIC, the VOICE we truly love."

Exactly: 2909 will be Whitney's year!!!! LMAO! Hahahaha!

ok heres wat i see,
im a big mariah fan and ill stand by her 100 percent .
but come on!!!! do we really have to bash whitney?
At least whitney has made an attempt to leave her past behind and give us good music! not that pop crap we have now!
Plus all ya crack on whitneys voice but hello lambs, mariah is not wat she used to be either! gosh leave whitney alone cuz her and mariah r not in competition plus is pathetic that you lambs argue over two people who dotn give a shit about it!

I'm not criticising Whitney, i'm just being realistic and i'm a big fan of Whitney. However, i'm not seeing the big comeback that the critics and the whole world was anticipating but i do respect her for what she is doing, of course i do. I'm not going to disrespect her but that's my opinion.

And i saw on a site that they're expecting Whitney to sell 250-275K in first week sales in the US and obviously she is going to debut at #1 but does that mean she will maintain that position or sustain a long period of time within the Billboard 200? No it doesn't. So by you saying Mariah will not make 300K, Whitney isn't expected to either. Although Mariah sold over 450K in her first week for E=MC2 so it's possible that she could sell over 300K and it's possible for Whitney too. However, i'm unsure as to whether that will happen.

Grammys: Mariah has 5 and Whitney has 6. But Mariah releases commercially and critically successful singles and albums and the Grammys aren't given to her. How is that right? She said she isn't bothered about the Grammys anymore because she has accomplished so much already. But see, you have to base your argument on Whitney winning the Grammys. But how can you be sure of that? You can't.

Like i said before, why come on a Mariah fansite to promote Whitney? There's no point.

I WANT OBSSESED AT No1 ON HOT 100 !!! WHY STAY STUCK AT No11 A MONTH NOW ?

--honey* You're completely right, I'm also tired of those "old fans" that don't understand that R&B has been always inside her but she wasn't allowed to do what she wanted, remember Underneath The Stars? Her people back then thought it was too "urban" to be released and even though it appeared on her Greates Hits album and we, the fans, love it. What about her big ghospel influence? Mariah grew up listening to "black" music, she likes it and writes it pretty damn gooooood!!! Deal with it!!!

i am from spain and hope you don't mind english but what's this? foreigner's original version of IWTKWLI has the song length of 5:05, in wikipedia and youtube mariah's cover version has 3:43 (radio edit) and on the official album released production details of MOAIA the running time is only 3:27? que pasa? what happened? this is crazy! everybody is expecting that mariah would have even a longer version... can anyone please explain me about this. muchas gracias!!!

I love Mariah and I love Withney. I can't understand why this battle between fans is happening. This is a Mariah site. And, al least, don't say stupid things: Mariah's comeback in 2005 was one of the most amazing comebacks EVER. Now, Mariah has no comeback, and is evident she's going to have more sucsses than Whitney: She is going to sell more, and she's is going to do better in charts. But that doesn't mean anything. Both are amazind talented women. The best vocalists ever.

How come the album version of "I Wanna Know What love is" is 3:27?! I thought that it was gonna be longer! Hmmm.... Anyone else going to the Vegas concerts?! Cmon people, i know there are some lambs who also have tickets!!! We should be promoting that as well, since shes not. In fact, she's not promoting anything at the moment! Cant wait to see her on Oprah, and the upcoming promotion! She needs all he promotion she can get... I heard that "IWKWLI" is not gonna be able to chart? Can anyone clarify that?

i think the i wanna know what love is time is wrong because if it is 3:27 it's shorter than the radio edit and that doesn't really make sense. probably meant 4:27, i guess. whatever i'm so happy she's doing interludes like the rainbow album with petals and rainbow and vulnerability and heartbreaker. i'm even more excited now!!!! yay!!!

Yes, and they're longer too! Only the Up Out My Face reprise is the shortest. I was wishing one of these was a David Morales reprise/interlude. And sad to see the JD and Timbaland productions get the axe. I was really looking forward to the Timbo collab. I've never understood why artists in general shelve their songs. If you're gonna do that then don't talk about them!

I'm really excited about the whole 'new album release' process : New live performances, interviews, talk shows , and, of course the songs themselves.

And I really hope, when leaked, Mariahdaily (as the best mariah fansite) is going to publish them all. ^^""

Anybody know what happened to the H.A.T.E U remix? Mariah said it would be featured and I figured it'd be on the second disc of the album but I guess not?

Rafael you're crazy if you think Mariah Daily is gonna post leaks. Her album should be leaking in about two weeks, and you'll find it everywhere else except here.

I guess the HATEU remix won't see the light of day unless IDJ decides to release it as a single. Same thing happened with the Say Something Remix by David Morales which was shelved until the song was released a year and a half later.

Thanks 'Me'!
Well if you're right, the remix could be a smash hit because I <3 that Morales remix for 'Say Somethin' I love that she does new vocals for him.
I appreciate your feedback!

Yeah that's why I was expecting something from him for the album. I mean the Fly Away (Butterfly Reprise)... Daydream Interlude..... He's said he likes to work with her because she always went to the studio to re-record the vocals and not just hand the original vocals to some producer to do a mix. It's such a shame she doesn't do that anymore. I don't think the HATEU remix is done by Morales though, as she said on her twitter it had a guest rapper if I remember correctly, but she did say she re-recorded the vocals for it. And you're welcome. Always glad to discuss this type of things.

Yeah, I remember that actually. Maybe a bonus track, or B-Side? Who knows with Mariah. I'm sure it will surface somewhere or another.
How excited are you for the album? :)

Have you people not heard her cover of I Want To Know What Love Is she sings like she did back in like 95 so she is back to SANGIN'. As for the song that I am looking foward to the most is Angels Cry

To - Josefa, are you serious? Worst single ever? Come on now let's be real, you just wasted your time writing that. ALL you people Hating on Mariah and her NEW Style just need to fall back, like for real.

everyone going to vegas on Oct. 9 email me...maybe we can get together and have a lamb filled day before the concert :)... my email is haroutmcc@yahoo.com

I really wish there was an album version of IWTKWLI that's longer than the radio version (3:27 min), but if you add the length of each song as it has been posted on this website, then you get to 58:13 minutes. So I think that the album version and the radio version are the same, unless there are two mistakes: that for the length of the new single and that for the length of the whole album. I just don't see why they would cut an entire verse from the original though. But I am super excited anyway -- I CAN'T wait!!

Any fellow lambs going to the Las Vegas concert on the first night, September 11?
I'll be there, and will be spending the night in Vegas along with another lamb friend who's flying in from NY (I'll be coming from LA). It would be fun if we can get together, and celebrate. If you're going, and want to hang with other lambs, then let me know.

I don't understand ... "Betcha" is perhaps the first item on the disc??? Should be the most voted ... Just because the name can not be judged .... Must be the best... ¬¬

To all the fans that want "IWTKWLI" to be longer, don't feel bad because that's how I was feeling with "WBT". I thought it was too short, and I wanted it to be in the 4 minutes range. Eventually, I just accepted it, because I loved the song so much (and still do).

I'm soooo happy there's no JD on this album!! And no colaborations!! I'm very very happy. I hope it's good.

EVERYONE SUPPORT OBSESSED! DOWNLOAD! SPREAD THE WORD! STREAM THE VIDEO ON YAHOO AND AOL! REQUEST ON RADIO! WE CAN MAKE THIS SONG A SUCCESS IF EVERYONE TRIES! COME ON LAMBS!!!!! LETS GET IT TO #1

ART - HEY! IM GOING TO THE VEGAS CONCERT ON OCT. 9! WHERE R U SITTING? MAYBE MY FRIENDS AND I COULD MEET YOU THERE! WE LOVE MEETING NEW MC FANS!

jAir--i dont remember where im sitting lol...wen i get a chance to check ill let you know...but im going with anothr lamb from that morning so maybe we can all get together and take vegas by storm and let everyone know mariah is in town...lol

******LAMBS I NEED HELP*****

I wanna support Obsessed but I cant buy it on iTunes bc I dont use iTunes. And I dont use Amazon either. So my only option is streaming it on yahoo, which is what ive been doing for dayyyss now.
So my question is: do I have to stream the entire song? Which means, clicking on

http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/Mariah+Carey/Obsessed--217257942

and wait till the song is finished and then hit the 'refresh' button and so on and so forth? OR its not necessary to stream the entire song? I mean just streaming it for a few seconds and then closing the window: would that still count as streaming?

I'd really appreciate it if anyone shed light on this. I really wanna support Obsessed and help it crack the Top 10 or go even higher!

@Lamb4Lyfe
Hey Lamb4Lyfe. I made a posting about that topic about a month ago. It's too bad, you missed it. But here it is in a nutshell: There's a way for you to continuously stream the song on yahoo by just investing 5 minutes of your time. First, make a yahoo account if you don't have one. Once you have your account, log in, and find the Obsessed video. Once it starts to play, look around the screen for the "add to playlist" tab, and click on it. Now here's the trick, you need to make a new playlist that will ONLY be for the song Obsessed. So if you're already a yahoo member, and already have playlists with other artists, then you need to make a NEW one JUST for Obsessed. If this is your first playlist, then just click on "add to playlist," and that should do the trick.
Now that you have Obsessed on your playlist, you may add it a second time. I have it on there twice, but you may have it on your list ten times, or as many times as you want. I suggest adding it at least twice. So now all you have to do is play the song from your playlist. It should play on it's own over, and over, again... as if it was on repeat. There will be a break in between plays--a 15 second commercial perhaps, but then it will play again.

Now the best part is that you can still use your computer to do other things, and you don't have to listen to the song all day. All you have to do is put the volume down on the yahoo player (not your computer volume), and minimize the window screen. Now you can use your computer for whatever you like, even listen to other songs, while streaming Obsessed all day in the background.
Hope this was helpful.

you must have some big nutshells, leo. in a real nutshell: create a playlist with only obsessed on it and play it. it will repeat automatically. great tip, though.

ANY LAMBS GOING TO THE VEGAS CONCERTS ON **OCT. 9** ??!!! WE SHOULD GET AS MANY LAMBS AS POSSIBLE TOGETHER, AND HAVE A VEGAS MARIAH FILLED DAY. IDK EXACTLY WHAT WE WOULD DO, SO ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE OPEN! CMON LAMBS, LETS UNITE, AND SHOW OUR LOVE FOR MIMI!!! CANNOT WAIT FOR THE CONCERT!!!!!

If any lambs are going to the Vegas show on **OCT. 9** please email (Art) at haroutmcc@yahoo.com........

Art, I hope u don't mind I gave out your email, just thought I would help u get the word out since I am going on Oct. 9 as well, and I would love to get as many lambs possible to hang out before the show.

Does whitney pay you to keep coming back to this survey??? XD

albert--no problem i want the same thing...im sure even walking around on the strip with a group of lambs will be great singing in the streets of mariah's songs...lol...spread the word!!!

OCT 9 SHOW PLZ EMAIL ME... haroutmcc@yahoo.com

ya Bobby Brown i'll be sure to do that, right after i walk into FYE on september 29th and go buy Heidi Montag's debut CD instead of Mariah's
XDXXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD When hell freezes over twice. let's go lambs, get obsessed to the top 10!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alejandra, I'm so with you on that one. I don't know JD, but I do know he makes good music (just not singing/rapping on them). I'm so glad Mariah is singing everything by herself (even though sometimes Artist be featured on the song, just not in the credits). Also, I would love for Mariah & Beyonce to a duet (They are my two top Artist(s).

Does anyone know what has happened with the release of Obsessed in the UK? It isn't available on Itunes or Amazon. It was meant to be released on the 6th and it wasn't so I thought it might've been the 7th, so it would be released on Monday, but it hasn't. Does anyone know when it's actually being released?

Whitney, who was talking to you? See, the difference between you, and I is that I am aware that not every one is as computer savvy as some of us are. Clearly the person that was asking the question was a bit confused, and was asking a sincere question. Out of everyone else here, I was the only one that took my personal time to answer that... While keeping in mind that there might be other people that might be reading that, and who might find it useful, but who also may not know those steps. Yes, there are people out there that don't even know what a playlist is, and that's why I provided details. Instead of making criticisms, why don't you stop visiting this site, and stop playing "Whitney," and "Bobby" (cause yeah, I know that you're "Bobby"). Seriously, at least I'm trying to contribute something, and not just criticizing, and bugging people on the site like you are. Gosh! Seriously, if you're not going to take your time to help someone else out that's fine, but don't go disturbing those who are. Seems like this unofficial forum is just getting filled with more, and more haters. I'm seriously tempted to just let all you haters just rot in your own misery, and I'll take my thoughts, passion, and positive energy somewhere else. I've got plenty of haters in real life, I don't need to be dealing with virtual ones. Seriously Whitney, if you're such an effing Whitney fan, then WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE? I'll tell you why you're here, cause you're an effing loser, who has no effing life, so the only thing that brings you joy in this world is to bug the crap out of everyone else so that they can be as miserable as you are. UUGGHHH, you're the type of person that makes me sick! Me, I actually have a life, but my passion for Mariah brings me here, in hopes of finding fellow fans who I can share that with. But seems like I'm mostly encountering haters. I think that I might just stick to visiting MariahDaily for updates, and let you haters in this section just deal with each other... I have better things to do.

HollywoodLeo thanks a bunch!
Much appreciated, and don't pay attention to that Whitney person here or any other haters for that matter!

PS. Esp dedicated to all Whitney fans here who bash Mariah:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S57W7WBozvc

:) And please people, don't confuse ME with that delusional "Bobby Brown/Kristina/Whitney Houston" fan... :))) SUPPORT "OBSESSED": http://Obsessed.rules.it

Im Obsessed!! hahaha!!! I also have IWKWLI and its playing in my ipod the whole day. Nice Tip hollywoodleo... lets get obsessed to the top spot...cmon guys!!!

i voted for Hate u! :) and im goin to the oct 10 show!! lol with my mommy!! lol :)

What has happened to the release of Obsessed in the UK? It's not on Itunes or Amazon!

I don't understand fans who hope Mariah's album leaks? I mean, it's not exactly a positive thing. Look what it's done to Whitney's album and Leona Lewis' new single. IMO, Sept 29th will be worth the wait.

Wow, I just realized that Mariah samples "Time after time" by Cindy Lauper in the song "Inseparable", wow. Cant wait 2 hear that. Also, Candy Bling! cmon, SEPT. 29!!! GET HERE ALREADY!!!

BIG Mistake Mariah not performing at the VMA's! BIG One!
If Mariah would had perform sales for Obsessed would had gone up and for sure it would had reached top 5!
By next week obsessed will go down since all songs performed at the VMa's will go up in sales and downloads!
She should had performed!

--JEFFREY--> it wasnt even confirmed that Mariah was performing at the VMA's anyway. but obsessed will finally be in the top 10 next week!! this is the first song by MC to keep fighting this long. its gonna be known as the song that would never die! LOL. and IWTKWLI is gaining airplay and spins on POP without even officially being released!! thats a really good sign that this song will be successful. i cant wait to go cop the album! lol!...*

yea but it would had been great that this year finally she would had performed!
and yes i noe that obsessed finally will enter the top ten but after this week and vma week all the artist performing willl see their song have a rise in sales and downloads! yes its gonna be festive news that obsessed finally reached top 10 but my theory is that if she had performed this year at the VMA's obsessed would had lasted weeks in the top 10.

--yeah me too. but this song has proved sooo many ppl wrong and im just glad it could spend even one week in the top 10 with all those weeks at #1. lol. but you never know it could have yet another resurgence in airplay and downloads because obsessed never quits!

has it been confirmed that obsessed will be in the top 10 this week?

CONTINUE to support OBSESSED..

LAMBS , Lets UNITE!!

SPREAD THE WORD...

Today is my birthday, Happy 20th to me. Support Mariah!!!

'Obsessed' better get into Top 10. I mean, I'm from Ireland and I still stream the video when I'm online so I can't fathom fans who just don't vote or stream because the song isn't Mariah? Of course it is? She wrote it? She likes the track herself because it's different for her. Let go of the 90's folks, she made history and you can't expect her to dwell on that. She wants to do what she wants to do. Am I the only one who remembers "The Emancipation" ?

Bobby bobby, i believe you mistook Mariah for Whitney? FYI, this is a MARIAH poll, and FYI, WHITNEY's album dropped almost a week ago. SO why you trippin'? NOt try'na insult Whitney, but IMO, the only weak and insecure one isn't Mariah, its YOU. If she's weak, she wouldn't be here after Glitter. If she's weak, shouldn't she be at some ghetto getaway blaming crack for her dusty Glitter? But the fact that you are weak made you come here...all to say that Mariah is going to lose her voice and all. Get real, remain delusional, bob, remain delusional

FINALLY!!!! OBSESSED IS #7 ON THE HOT 100!!!!! WE DID IT !!!!!

#7 BABY!! HOPE IT CONTINUES TO GO UP!!!

Lambs...I live in Fiji Island. Please for those going to her concert in Las Vegas can somenone please send me pictures of her singing ''I want to know what loved is''
Here is my yahoo address :turagavili@yahoo.com and help will be highly appreciated..

Mariah die hard fan in Fiji Island,

Vili

FINALLY!!!! - Are you sure ''Obssessed'' @ #7 on Hot 100? Are you refering to Airplay or Hot 100?

A bit confuse please help me out on this..

I was going through all the comments and find interesting the comments between Josefa and Hollywood Leo...

Josefa are you from the South Pacific? If so then you dont understand the term airplay or spin it actually mean the same thing @ the states.

Thanks Leo you did a great job..

FINALLY!!!! OBSESSED IS #7 ON THE HOT 100!!!!! WE DID IT !!!!!

#7 BABY!! HOPE IT CONTINUES TO GO UP!!!

@ Vili its #7 on both the hot 100 and airplay!

Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated... and excuse my rant--just have no tolerance for people who love to criticize, but yet have nothing to contribute themselves. Like Bobby Brown here, boy I feel sorry for you. If I were such a big Whitney fan, I'd be listening to that album 24/7 by now, and wouldn't be wasting my time on another singer's fan site. The fact that you're here just shows your lack of appreciation for Whitney.
Anyhow, moving on... Obsessed made it to NUMBER 7! Whoo hoo!! We did it guys! It's getting closer, and closer to number 1! We need to keep streaming. If you noticed, Obsessed has been making it to number one on Yahoo, but it's still at number 6 for overall streaming--which means that we need to keep streaming till it's the top streamed song. We have to support Mariah! Streaming is the one way that we fans can counter the negative impact that illegal downloading has on the charts. So stream, stream, stream.

Once again, I'll be attending the Las Vegas concert this Friday the 11th. I'll be staying at the Planet Hollywood Hotel & Resort with my good friend, and fellow lamb. So if anyone else is planning on being there, then hit me up. My buddy, and I are definitely planning on living it up that night, and it would be cool to meet some of you if you're attending.

I'm excited about H.A.T.E.U!
OMG! Is that real Obsessed is #7 on hot 100????? I'm sooooo happy!

WE DID IT, Y'ALL!
That just shows the real fans work! We can push it higher. I know it!!

helloooo read good
cuz its number 7 on the airplay chart!
so lets see this week cuz last week it was at number 7 and it still remained at number 11

forget thta post!
hell to the mothefuking yea!!!!!

the download release date for IWTKWLI got moved up to next week. Wouldn't it be awesome if Mariah had two top 10 singles on the hot 100 at the same time?!? Also, u can now hear the HQ version of the song at mariahcarey.com =D

Congratulations to all the Lambs and of course Queen Mariah!

Keep on voting..who knows..on Sept.29 Obsessed will be her 19th and IWTKWLS is her 20th #1

I love being a LAMB..

Hooray!!

If you haven't already, everyone head over to mariahcarey.com and listen to Mariah's new single "I Want To Know What Love Is" (Very powerful). Available on iTunes next Tuesday 9/15. The new single impacts radio on Monday 9/14, and the pre-order of the album "Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel" follows the next day (on iTunes 9/15).

MMMMM..... I'm so OBSESSED. Keep streaming @ yahoo.
Add obsessed (as many as you wish) in your fav playlist, just obsessed and stream the vid at your own leisure.

Obsessed finally made it to #7. That makes mariah the female with the second most top 10 hits. Only madonna has more. I get the feeling this album is going to be a BIG hit!! I'm never wrong about her albums. I was at the listening party and I will tell the lambs that this album has something for the "kids" as well as the "original " mariah fans. I'm very excited!! There should be at least 4 more top 10 hits and definately 3 more #1's out of that.

WOW! I'm so happy now! :) "Obsessed" finally went up! Keep supporting it: http://Obsessed.rules.it :)))

go and vote for top 40 survey, in

ratethemusic.com

sometimes mariah goes no. 1 , sometimes fucking tailor swift

WHITNEY HOUSTON IS FINALLY AT #1! I LOOK TO YOU DEBUTED #1 BECOMING THE DIVA'S HIGHEST DEBUT SO FAR! THE VOICE IS FINALLY BACK. KEEP SUPPORTING MILLION DOLLAR BILL LAMBS FOR THE TIME BEING JUST TO GET WHITNEY BACK TO THE TOP AGAIN!

GET OVER IT LAMBS WHITNEY IS THE BEST AND IRREPLACEABLE! OBSESSED WON'T GET TO #1!

Let's together make IWTKLI Mariah debut #1 when it's released on Sept 15 - we just download and buy the singles and stream!

YAY!!! http://Obsessed.rules.it
I've been voting non stop and streaming non stop
some of the radio stations have listed IWTNWLI ... Why wait vote for it now!

I'm not surprised by Whitney's album debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200 Chart, because it was hardcore fans and initial interest that supported the album. However, as some have already noticed the album is moving down the charts, very fast. It's already at #8 on the Itunes Album Chart, a majority of downloads are made on there, so it's going to fall from the #1 next week. Whitney's album may be a flop, who knows? She may have been the voice but her personal struggles have crippled that voice. She can no longer sing like that, and in my opinion her singles are not relevant to the market. I wish her all the best, but i just can't help but think it's going to flop.
However, Mariah knows that the music industry is constantly changing and for her music to be successful she needs to have a few songs that fit well in the popular genre. Obsessed fits into this perfectly. Also #7 I'm so happy. It should of been in the Top 10 on the first week but anyway, it is now. IWTKWLI is being released on the 15th :) Can't wait! And I can't wait for the album!

Germany Amazon is giving 30 second previews of each song on the new album MOAIA! They're amazing. This albums is going to be one of her best, ever! Omg :) http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_ss_1_12?__mk_de_DE=%C5M%C5Z%D5%D1&url=search-alias%3Dmp3-downloads&field-keywords=mariah+carey+memoirs+of+an+imperfect+angel&x=0&y=0&sprefix=mariah+carey

Alsooo, i thought i would of been more excited for IWTKWLI but i can't wait for Ribbon. It sounds phenomenal! Sorry for all the comments but i keep having things to say, lmao.

OMG, have you heard the clips? The album sound so FLAT
It seems her range is totally gone, and the songs are all HIP HOP.. it is so unimpressive.
Inseparable & More than just friends sounds EXACTLY THE SAME
Angels Cry sounds like I Stay in Love..
"I Want to know what love is" sounds like a song from a different album/singer indeed..

Now I undestand why she kept that album cover.. it is a hip hop record with no voice showcase like everybody were saying.. her voice and taste is OVER and they want to sell us this CRAP... we are not stupid.. Mariah will never be back.

Mmmm i got mixed reviews of this ablum her voice sounds kinda bad i don't hear that sweet tone.. but i still it love more than the whitney ablum also its a wrap seem to only have her vocals sounding goood mmm i dont know

This album with the right promotion and single choices will be the best selling album of 2009 and 2010! THE QUEEN IS HERE! MC KILLIN’ IT !

HOPE they dont screw it up this time!!!PICK THE RIGHT SINGLES!!
Soooo many great songs on the album though...LOVE angels cry, hate u....forget it im not going to name them all lol

Just heard the clips...
I agree with you Hey, I'm loving Ribbon! Totally not what I expected... This is what I expected of Candy Bling, but it turned out that it was Ribbon all along. It's got that nice intoxicating flow like 4Real4Real, and Breakdown. I can see myself playing Ribbon over, and over again...

I'm also liking It's A Wrap, it has that old school vibe.

Angels Cry is going to be great, beautiful melody... perhaps her next WBT.
The song has beautiful whistle notes on the intro, I was able to recognize it by the Angels Prelude. (Remember when Mariah did that interview on Top 40 with Nick Cannon, and she played the snippets? The last clip with the whistle notes, that's the intro to Angels Cry).

Up out My Face sounds pretty fun, you can hear The Dream's version on YouTube.

I'm a little disappointed with the length of IWTKWLI, it's even shorter than the radio edit! On the other hand, I've been listening to the HD version on the Mariah site, and it sounds SO much better! The production is better than what I thought it was...

As a whole, the album is filled with slow jams... But it's very different from her usual material. Someone said that it sounded flat, but I actually like the fact that it's different from everything that's out there on the market. Everyone is trying to sound like Lady Gaga nowadays, and Mariah is bringing something completely different to the table. This is what you call artistry.

Now I will say, that after listening to the content of the album, I think that the cover matches just fine (in a good way). This is the kind of album that you can play while having intimate moments with your special someone.
Try out this test, while listening to the clips, stare at the album cover, and notice how each song matches at least one of the pictures of the album cover.
Mariah knows what she's doing...

This is very different from what I expected, but I'm very excited about this album... Mariah has done it again!

i listened to the clips. walter and tommy, please come back!!

You Know I hate Obsessed, but I have to say I'm veeery surpised about how it's doing on the charts. Congratulations

I've benn listening to the Amazon previews. IT'S A WRAP sounds amazing!!!!!!!!!

I think IWTKWLI is going to be the best song on the album

When you listen to some of the clips some of the songs do identify with the pictures. Ribbon goes really well with the one on the far left. Up Out Of My Face goes well with the middle one as this shows her fun side and how she is playing with the song and the lyrics. H.A.T.E.U. goes with the far right one as it is a very slow jam :) Very excited for the album. And people who say that the album is similar to all her other albums. Maybe a few tracks, yes. But the songs are still good but some of them are just amazing. Ribbon, as i've already said, is my favourite up to now.
I just hope she chooses the right singles to promote the album :) E-MC2 experienced problems in that area of promotion. The singles chosen were good songs, just not one of those "single" type songs.

OMG! I'm amused when sombody says FLAT. Judging by the 30 sec snippets, I'm impressed. IWTKWLI snippet when it first leak on radio, some says she's gonna use the whisper range a lot but it 's all hoax. Mariah's trademark... low range/chest voice in the intro and 'bang boom kapow' @ chorus and bridge.
I'm liking betcha; ribbons; up out my face; angels cry; standing O .... What? 30 sec and I'm loving all the songs already? Enuff said

@shidan66

I agree with you...30 seconds to judge a song and say that it is FLAT?! it's kinda foolish to say that...

Anyway, Im loving ANGEL'S CRY and LANGUSHING...CANDY BLING sounds great...^_^

Cant wait for the whole album!

so what can i say !?! i thing 'hate you', 'it's a wrap'and' rebbon' it's the best until now ! what do you think??? and can be better 'obessed or it's to late ?
love you mimi !!! kiss from greece

OMG RIBBON IS FIYAHHHH. GAMEOVER!!!!! ;D BTW i'm glad every song doesn't sound like a single b/c when artists do that their albums tend to sound less cohesive. SEPT 29 WILL BE LIKE AN EARLY CHRISTMAS FOR US LAMBS!!!!

Yes, the album sounds like a hit. Another "Butterfly" album on our hands, everything sounds R&B/Hip-Hop/Pop (Yes, Mariah Yes). I'm excited about - "Betcha Gon' Know", "Ribbon" (sounds like a future single release), "It's A Wrap", "Up Out My Face" (sounds like a future single release), "Angels Cry" and of course "I Want To Know What Love Is" Also, I like the band type feel on "Up Out My Face" (The Reprise).

This will kick whitney's album ass
MC you got it baby the album will be AMAZING
H.A.T.E.U and Candy bling my favorite!

w00h00 - i love u H0LLYW00D LE0 this is truly wat u call ARTISTRY!!! its different but gooood! there is beautiful variation on the album, i kno i will def adore it when i hear the whole thing. Im feelin "languishing" especially, followed by "its a wrap" and "inseperable"!!!!! and im so glad "obsessed" is @ no.7 now - itz about time!!

ps - i dont really see y "i gotta feeling" is still @ #1 (WTF) i preferred boom boom pow!! oh well xP

''Out of My Face'' was teasing song....My fave is Angel and Ribbon...

loving the snippits from the new album...wish she had some more fast songs like obsessed but its still great...can't wait any longer...love ribbon and up out my face...

on other news...october 9 is when im going to the concert in vegas...who else? email me and all lambs can get together and have a mariah filled day before and after the concert to show vegas that lambs rule!!!

holy snap crackle pop pop pop!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just heard the album and these r just the frieken beginning!!!!
so far favs r: Betcha', HATEU, Candy Bling. Inseperable, Up Out My Face (It just made me smile<3), More than Just Friends, Angels Cry, and of course IWTKWLI. so pretty much the entire album SO FAR.
btw, great job guys making obsessed #7. Think we can get it to Top 5? I do!!!

My Favs so far are,
Candy Bling!
Up out My face
HATE U
Angels Cry

Oh Yeah!!! Obsessed is now at #7 on the HOT 100. Now if all of us LAMBS go to Walmart or one of the online stores and buy and copy of the single it should go to #1 the songs that are ahead of her on the list are not even half as good as it is

whoaa! so i found out this morning that amazon had the snippets, had to wait until i got home to take a listen. It seems they took them down so thank god for youtube i was able to go thru all the songs. So first impression is this feels like it's gonna be a true classic soul/r&B record, a baby-making record from start to finish. having said that, i'm feeling many people won't completely get this direction but i'm so glad this is where it's headed. a couple of songs had me doubting, one of them Hate.U, (go figure) and the other is Standing O, the arrangements seemed strange to me. not a bad thing as the same thing happened when I first listened to The Beautiful Ones and now it's right up there as one of my favorites. I'm so glad she's shut down those who were saying this was gonna be a "kids" record 'cause it doesn't feel like that AT ALL!, maybe except a couple more upbeat songs that are included but nothing like this electrocrap that's so "in" at the moment. The rest of the songs sound amazing even with the files being so lo-quality. I'm gonna be enjoying this a lot! And yes, i think it's gonna have that 'Butterfly' mood throughout. I'm guessing the second half is gonna be the best part of the record. But Betcha Gon Know stood out, as did Ribbon.. God, I can't wait to listen to this!!! P.S. I still don't like the cover LMAO!

http://obsessed.rules.it/
vote vote vote stream stream stream for obsessed and IWTKWLI now..
BETCHA is the first track and usually all the first track in all her previous album is DA BOOM BANG KAPOW type of song that's potentially realeased as SINGLE. I betcha that betca gon know will be her potential 3rd Single..hehhehehehe.

I actually had flashbacks when The Impossible and Languishing came on. This has made me go back and play the Butterfly album...

My initial impression of the album:

It's like being invited to a party in heaven. Feeling a very special delight. Love it incredibly much.

I agree with all of you who feel like this album is very similar to butterfly. it actually kinda picks up where that album left off. what a great way for Mariah to end the decade- on top!!!

Oh sh..... Can't stop listening to those 30 seconds of Languishing! I think this one is gonna be very special. So far my Top 5 would be: Languishing, Ribbon, Betcha Gon' Know, The Impossible and Candy Bling (in that order). ALL the reprises/interludes sound ridiculously amazing! There's some really good lyrics as well. I don't think I'll be able to wait til the 29th.

Oh and about the Butterfly recreation pictures.. wow! Out of all the three, the middle one really captures the essence. The other two are just ok. And Obsessed at #7 is unbelievable, it just keeps proving the "fans" wrong. Now it's time to go top 5!

have u seen her latest pictures? it brings back the nostalgia of the Butterfly era..

Pls guys , CONTINUE TO STREAM..OBSESSED..

AM I THE ONLY ONE FEELING RIBBONS? THAT SONG IS DEF. A HIT. AND WHITNEY? HER FIRST WEEK SALES WERE LIKE 300K OR A LIL MORE. THATS SAD COMPARED TO MARIAH.

no Marquis Ribbon is def one of my favs by lisetening to it!!! :)

LISTEN to the snippets at youtube titled ' MOAIA Album Sampler'. Took my earphones and KABOOM it sounded soooooooooo SEXY, SO LOVE MAKING MOOD that I just wanna #$@. That's the low quality version and I'm already melt away by her therapeutic low range and heavenly astounded by her high range. Can't wait for her album here in my country. She's so talented, I won't be able to write and compose songs like that. We must respect our MIMI, stop dissing or complaining coz MOAIA is her work of art and art never comes CHEAP! CHO KU REI to my MIMI.

The recreation of the Beautifly era pictures shows how much she has changed into the person she is however, ironically, it also shows how much she hasn't changed because she still looks like her younger self, haha. I can't wait for the album, it's going to be amazing. One of my favourite albums from Mariah is Butterfly and i'm getting that feeling from this album :) Also, i can not stop listening to the clip of Ribbon, it's a very slow, sexy, smooth song. She sounds so passionate when she sings the lyrics. I'm really excited.

Those clips of the songs
Are amazing
Mariah has did it again
THE VOICE! is back yall!
=]

Im sooo happy about Obsessed in the top 10
You know what that means
Lets make to the top 5 then #1 baby!
<333 GOOOO MARAIH!

MARIAH LOOKS AMAZING ON THE BUTTERFLY PICTURES!!! I wich the MOAIA cover was good too....

mariah looks phenomenal in the butterfly retakes, AMAZING!!!
can't wait for the album, maybe she'll do an emotions ar daydream retake :)

--OMG! THIS ALBUM IS GOING TO BE FIRE! its like she perfectly mixed old mariah that older fans wanted with the current mariah! i love it. am i the only one that is feeling 'up out my face'? that needs to be the next single! it sounds so radio ready! and its kinda like the Shake It Off/Cruise Control of this album. i cant wait to hear 'angels cry' too! and why are people complaining about the beats? EVEN VISION OF LOVE HAD A BEAT! lol. calm down...*

People! Obsessed is 60 spins away from being at #1 on Rhythmic radio according to mediabase!! and its still growing with 110 spins. Jay Sean is right behind her though but with about 150 spins gap. I think Obsessed can manage to get the #1 for at least a few days and hopefully by sunday when it's the cutoff date. I think it's gonna actually happen! Sooo fucking great!

Obsessed is ALWAYS on the rythmic radio station where I live now :). I used to have to wait all day just to hear it once. Hopefully radio will catch on sooner to IWTKWLI.

is anybody tweeting on mariahs las vegas concert!

Seriously Guys, this album is gonna be fRiGgIn hUgE! Mariah really perfected her craft. i can totally see her evolution in this album. Her album sounds very cohesive and complete. It'll definitly be one of those albums everyone listens to all the way through without pressing skip. Plus anyone who hears it that doesn't own it will go out and buy it since its so addictive. Bravo Mariah. For showing us why you will always be at the top of the charts as long as you are living your dream of making music. I can see MOAIA being a record breaking No. 1 Album for Mariah. An instant classic like her Butterfly album which as some have stated it is pretty much Butterfly Part 2. My Top 5 songs are H.A.T.E. U, Languishing, Ribbon, The Impossible (Original and Resprise) and Its a Wrap. Every song on the album has so much soul and sass. A perfect blend of urban beats, classic melodies and old school funk. Soooo exited about this Album!!!

Oh gosh, just had a listen to her snippets for the whole album! TOTALLY SHOCKED! MARIAH WHAT ARE YOU DOING?? Stop squealing in Angel, please! And H.A.T.E.U sounds like the funeral song, boring. WHERE'S THE STRENGTH OF YOUR VOICE? The songtress sounded like she's struggling to sing now. MEMOIRS must be the last album, with too much breathy sounds like CHARMBRACELET. BORING AND TEPID.

2009 MARKS THE BEGINNING OF WHITNEY'S ERA, END OF MARIAH'S. THANK GOD FOR BRING WHITNEY BACK.

This album will surely flop. the tracks are nothin but trash with the exception of I want to know what love is. I wish mariah will resort to doing what she does best: power ballads.Come on Mariah!!! amaze us like you used to.

this album full of The Dream and Tricky and no damn JD tracks.

So far its a negative for me and GOD knows I love MC.

Learn some English, you two!

It's amazing to know how many "lambs" can predict the future... and fall flat on their asses while at it!

Bobby! Bobby! This is yo Queen Whitney Houston. Did you think I was making this album for my fans, Bobby!? Oh hell to the no, Bobby! I was making it for the money, Bobby. Gotta buy me some expensive drugs, Bobby! Cuz, crack is whack, Bobby! Bobby, I'm scared Bobby, Mariah has a great album, Bobby! Why couldn't my producers cover up my withered voice and make me sound marvelous, Bobby!?

Bobby! We're not connected anymore. I 'D' YOU, remember? Why you so obsessed with me? opppss. Nippy love Mimi. I have to admit my pipes have become blowpipes but as a professional singer, I respect my 'when u believe' duet partner. It must be the weed, it must be the E, so Bobby stop!

Hey guys, the concer was lots of fun. I can come back, and tell you about it.
But it's 5:23 am, and I still haven't slept! I can barely type. I will say that she sang sine of the songs, and they were nice...

HollywoodLeo, can't wait to read your 'JOYRIDE' @ Vegas

WOW, having listened to Angels cry for the first time, I absolutely love it!

My review:

Mariah is being true to herself and her music. The wonderful voice of this imperfect angel may flaw with time, but you know, it's forever beautiful! That's the song she sings with a true sincere heart - she's just irreplaceable!

i love mariah as much as the next guy but that performance of Angels Cry
was not live!
sorry you can argue all you want but i can admit wen mariah sings live or not
but im looking foward for the other performances

Oh, I've watched the Angels Cry video in YouTube, very bad quality but it sounds amazing. Another ballad! I'm so happy. Mariah looks amazing in the pictures, dressed like in the Daydream Tour. And the hair is nice too. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE VIDEOS!!!

Alejandro, from Europe

up out my face live

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDYEyAcrOqE

another lipped performance!
damn man
was anything live?

it's official! as of right now, an maybe thru a couple more days, Obsessed is the #1 played record on Rhythmic radio stations across the US! :)

lipped jeffrey? she's singing over the backing track, she always has... and always will given the fact that she's the master of the overlayed vocals. the backing track plays the lower registers but she sings the higher registers. You should know better but I don't think you have enough of an ear. Up Out My Face is a jaaaaaammmm!! even with this extremely lo/quality audio it kicks Dream's demo to the curb with those high notes alone :)

okay lambs, even though we are drooling over these new songs, lets not forget about "Obsessed"!! We can still make it a bigger hit! Keep streaming the video on AOL Music and Yahoo Music! Also request on radio so they can keep playing it! Can't wait for the album!!!!

"I'm going HA HA HA-A HA-HA" Get it Mariah! I'm tripping over this track, the melodies, the hooks, the crazy lyrics, the song structure!! The breakdown is just AWESOME!

ME, i do have an ear im not you who can't see any flaws on mariah!
its lipped and either way idc cuz i still love her but com'on lets be realistic here!.

--um jeffrey seriously. you can CLEARLY hear mariah over the backing track. its not hard at all. you can tell its her because she adds her little touch and the notes dont sound extremly perfect like in the studio. SHE DIDNT LIP...*

yea but angels cry was lipped too! and is like big deal cuz everybody lips so its not such a crime!

I voted for "Ribbon", because although all the tracks sounded great on the snippets that i heard, i just felt this song was very intriguing and a little unusual. However I also cannot wait for; "H.A.T.E.U.", "Angels Cry" and "The Impossible"

Hey guys, I'm still in Vegas--but on my way back to LA. I'll come back to write about my experience when I get on my computer--it would just be too much to type on my iPhone, lol. Though I will briefly address the lip synching comments.... It was LIVE! ALL LIVE! I was there--with floor seats, and believe me, I know when she lips it, and she didn't do it once in this concert! The show was great, and I'll give details later for those that are interested...

jeffrey, lipping, also known as LIP-SYNCHing is one thing and singing over backing tracks is another thing. As I mentioned, if not done this way, the vocal layering would be impossible to pull off. Unless you want the background vocalists to completely take over the song anyway. And no, it's not a big deal unless people are trying to pull a "Milli Vanilli"

**HollywoodLeo** it seems like a lot of people r waiting for ur review. lol. i know i am! Were u a bit disappointed that she didn't sing, "Vision of love", "hero", "fantasy", "dreamlover", "ill be there"....i know I wish she could have sung those.

agree with you Albert! We're all expecting HollywwodLeo's review. And about the setlist, i think she just has way too much good songs on her catalog.

"Up out my face" needs to be a single!!!!! :)

Anyone else hoping that there will be a dvd of a Vegas show?

okay lambs, even though we are drooling over these new songs, lets not forget about "Obsessed"!! We can still make it a bigger hit! Keep streaming the video on AOL Music and Yahoo Music! Also request on radio so they can keep playing it! Can't wait for the album!!!!

OMG!! I am dying to know how the show was!!!! Does anyone think the set list is super short??! It looks so tiny...like 15-17 songs! An artist like Mariah can easily pull off a 30 song set list/ 2 hr. show! I dont know, still love MC though!

I am more interested in her new songs from Memoir..Please HollywoodLeo can you also update me?

OMG! Up out my face is AMAZING!!!!
Can't wait to hear the whole the concert!

I'm streaming Mariah's OBSESSED!

Hurry up HollywoodLeo !!! lmaooo
i wanna know EVERYTHING!!
in the meantime im streaming obsessed xp

*The Mariah who gripped a jeweled mic stand and made five costume changes last night – each one a variation on the same heavy cleavage, very tight theme – was all grown up. But her voice, put to work on new songs like the emotional ballad “Angels Cry” and guilty pleasure oldies like “Always Be My Baby,” sounded just as clear as it always has. You better believe that she can still hit those high notes, belt out the lower ones and do work all over her five-octave range.

UP OUT MY FACE should be the next single. Nick has once tweet that UOMF will be the potential single. The brass band reminds me of the hollaback girl thingy and teenagers just rush to download the singles and Gwen made history by being the first to have digital downloads more than a million. I hope history repeats with UOMF (the reprise) remix.

OK so anybody having doubts or second thoughts on mariah's voice / live renditions needs to go listen to My All at Vegas right now on youtube! THE best rendition ever to this song in my opinion, even better than it was back in 98. Although that time she sang at Pavarotti's is right up there as the best one. Im gonna go and listen to the rest of the concert. She's back on full sustained chest voice mode :)

I'm so proud that mimi has her pipes. I regret for having that whack . I can't do live no more.

@ HollywoodLeo: Ok, Mariah's voice is better then it was during the TAOM Tour. But, com'on, there's a lot of playback!!!!!! She has the best voice, but she prefers to lip instead of singing. Suble Invitation, Close My Eyes, Angels Cry... 90% lipped. Can't believe a fan doesn't realise. I only heard the youtube videos, without images, only bad quality audio and I HAVE NO DOUBT. You were at the show and say it's ALL live... Com'on, Mariah is the best, with or without lipping

@ME...thanks 4 the link!!

Omg i love Standing O..its VERY catchy, my other favs are Ribbon, Angels Cry, more than just friends, and up outta my face n hate u.

i think the next singles should be standing o, ribbon, angels cry, and up outta my face.

Props for 'Me' for the link to new snippets. I have to thank u.

Thanks for that link... :) And to all the lambs: Please, continue supporting "Obsessed" - ( http://Obsessed.rules.it ) and please, put this link wherever you think it's appropriate so that we get more lambs helping "Obsessed" get EVEN HIGHER! :)

Betcha gon know and the impossible reprise Damn i love those songs... Those are a straight R&b cut with that old school vibe

OMG, thank you sooooooooo much for the link Me!!!! When I heard My All for the first time I thought a more beautiful song could never be written again. Then Bringin' on the Heartbreak came along and We Belong Together after that. And now H.A.T.E.U. I just can't wait to hear the whole song -- it's going to be AMAZING. P.S.: Love love love the hair Mariah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I'm really liking the new snippets. They show the range on this album instead of just Mariah's lower register. I knew there was no way she'd do a whole whisper album. Now I'm super excited.

Support Obsessed ;)

Matt, I agree with you. The first group of snippets sounded good but these new ones sound classic. I'm kinda liking Its a Wrap (sounds a bit soulful) and at first I was worried about Standing O but now I like that one too.

Thnx 4 the link *Me :D The first snippets were good for kinda giving everyone a taste like a teaser trailer does for a movie. But these new snippets are like the trailer that shows all the action in the movie that get people all excited. I love that she is using those pipes of hers. BTW anyone notice how Languishing is sorta like Petals part 2 mixed in with a bit of The Wind. Languishing is gonna be like petals was for me just one of those emotional stories beautifully laid out. And HATE U is could soo be on the butterfly album between The Roof and Fourth of July :)I love that song it has to be a single. And The Impossible is still one of the best along with Its a Wrap. I'm having dreams about owning this album aleady probably from listening to the snippets so much :P

you're all very welcome my friends. always glad to share some Mariah, plus the site has been so slow lately..... Btw, it's official, Obsessed is the #1 record on rhythmic radio format this week, and with a bang: it went from +138 spins yesterday to +334 spins today! That's 200 spins in 24 hrs alone. O.O .... Spin increase is somewhat slipping on Top 40 though, but it's still pretty solid at +425. Currently at #13 on US Itunes, it'd actually be #11 if it wasnt for that Glee song and a track from Jay-Z's new album. Consistency!

Hello everyone... Looks like some of you have been waiting to hear about my Mariah in Vegas experience. I finally found some time to write. For those who've been waiting, excuse me for the delay. A lot has happened this weekend, but what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas! LOL... So I'll just focus on the Mariah parts.

I'll start off by sharing my experience, and then I'll respond to some of the questions you guys had. Some of those will be answered as I describe the evening. With that said, you might not want to read this if you're planning on attending any of the shows in October. It might ruin a few surprises. This is more for those who won't have a chance of attending the concert, and would like to know what it's like.

Ok, so it's Friday night, and my best friend/fellow lamb, and I head over to the concert. We got there early for the 8 o'clock show. DJ Suss One is on the stage (from the Adventures of Mimi DVD), and he's pumping old school music, keeping the crowd entertained. He mostly played old school Michael Jackson.
At this point most of the room was filled. The venue was tiny, big enough to seat over a couple of thousand people, but it still looked small. Basically, there wasn't a bad seat in the house. My buddy, and I got floor seats, we got to be very close to Mariah.

I'm looking at the crowd, and I am amazed... The crowd was SO diverse! People of all different backgrounds, ages, and looks. I couldn't believe it. I was specially surprised at the several elderly couples that I saw there. (One of those couples were making out like teenagers after the show). It never occurred to me that Mariah would appeal to that demographic, well, at least not at this stage of her career.
I bring this up because I think that it is so mind-blowing how Mariah's fan base is so eclectic. She attracts people from all walks of life. I think that part of it is because Mariah sings in such a way, and with so much emotion that it touches the heart. Everyone can relate to these emotions, but there aren't many artists out there than can touch the soul like Mariah can. Neither can they turn out such a diverse crowd.

So moving on, it's 8:30, and Mariah STILL isn't out on stage! At this point a few fans were getting impatient. I personally expected her tardiness, since I already experienced it at the Adventures of Mimi concert (the show that was recorded for the DVD). She was almost two hours late for that one, if I can remember. People started to boo, and I felt so bad! So I was hoping that it wouldn't get to that point, and it didn't... She was only about 45 minutes late! LOL.

Finally the curtains roll up, and everyone is looking for Mariah on the stage. She is nowhere to be found. Suddenly we see some movement high above the stage. It is the one, and only Mariah Carey! Descending to the stage, sitting on a swing/trapeze. Looking spectacular! She's wearing this beautiful dress. The top part is tight, and shiny in a silver color. The bottom part was like a ballerina's dress--the ruffle part. There were ruffles that went from her waist, all the way down to her toes. So a tight glittery silver top, and an abundance of white ruffles. Her hair was curly, just like in the recent pics. She looked beautiful! Like princess, or better yet, an angel descending from the heavens. All this while the Butterfly intro was playing in the background.

She started off by singing the Daydream interlude, which was so cool, since I've never seen her perform that "song" live. It was upbeat, and festive. Sometime between this song, and Shake If Off, her dancers gathered around her, and removed the ruffle part of her princess-like dress, revealing a short tight glittery dress. Similar to the ensemble she had on the VH1 Divas tribute to Diana Ross. When I saw this, I couldn't help but laugh... Our Mimi just couldn't help it, she HAD to show us her stunning legs... LOL. From this point on, Mariah changed into a few other shiny short dresses, and o

Now that it's all sinking in, and contrary to some comments over at youtube clips and other forums where people are being afraid of her going back to "whispering", I'll say that to me her "whispering" is more Charmbracelt category. I'm actually getting the feel that Memoirs is gonna bring a more distinctive Daydream-era registers on this album, like Standing O sounding very similar to the low registers of Melt Away's 1st verse, and other clips seem to be on the range of the Forever intro, I Am Free intro, and so on, as opposed to, say, Lullaby, which to me falls into that whispering category. And all the vocal arrangements sound very Daydream/Butterfly even TEOM. We'll have to wait to hear those climatic endings to see if she got to use what all of her range can offer. Even though I'm more eager to hear melodic vocals, and even some trademark melisma, rather than full on high "whistle" notes. We know she can still hit those with ease anyway.

She's now performing Shake it Off, which of course was very festive. But the better treat was her performance of Touch My Body. It sounded great live.

"Fly Like A Bird" started off with a heartfelt remembrance of the late Clarance Keaton. Though to this day, I will say that her best performance of FLAB (sounds funny, lol) was at the Grammy's. This was good, but it didn't come close to that magical moment at the Grammy's.

Make it Happen was great as usual, but then Mariah surprised us with a better treat. She introduced her next song with another heartfelt speech, this time it was regarding 9/11 (since the show was taking place on 9/11). She dedicated the following song to those who lost their lives in the tragedy. So now most of us are thinking that she's going to sing Hero, but we were wrong. It was Angels Cry! We were so exited, because we were going to have the opportunity to hear the song in it's entirety, and to top it off, it was live! I know that by now many of you have heard the very low quality recording of this song that was posted by someone who was at the concert...
Believe me when I tell you that this recording doesn't do justice to this amazing song/performance. The song sounded a hundred times better live! The song is so beautiful, it nearly brought tears to my eyes.

Always Be My Baby came on next, which of course got me going---I remember the first time I heard this song on the radio... I've been hooked on Mariah ever since!
For this evening she changed things up for this song. She actually sang BOTH verses, which is rare. it sounded great, and it was one my personal highlights of the evening.

From this point on, Mariah starts to bust out treat, after treat...
She performs songs that she either rarely performs live, or that she hadn't performed live at all till that moment. This is where I will answer one of your questions--Was I disappointed that Mariah didn't sing Vision of Love, I'll Be There, One Sweet Day, and so on...? The answer is no. As a matter of fact, I wanted her to do completely the opposite. I wanted to see her perform songs that rarely includes on her set list. I also wanted to hear some of the new tracks from the album. Yes, I love it when she sings Vision of Love, but how many times hasn't Mariah performed that song. We've heard her sing that song in every way possible. At this point, I rather hear something new, or something rare... and that's exactly what she did! She performed 8 songs that were either rare, or new.
This was an entirely new Mariah experience. So in many ways, it was priceless.

Subtle invitation was jazzy, and sensual.
Close My Eyes was a sure treat, as it took us back to the Butterfly glory days, and she did an excellent job performing it.

My All was another song were changes were made. For the first two verses, the song sounded like the traditional album version. Then the song took a turn, and no, the song didn't turn into the house remix version we're so used to---It turned into an upbeat flamenco (Spanish) style remix. With beautiful women dancing Flamenco to the remix. Very classy, and festive.

Then she finally performs Obsessed. This is yet another song that sounds great live. The beat was sick with the live band. She did the whole lift-me-up-in-the-air-three-times thing again, but it looks a lot better when you're there.

Up Out My Face was very fun. You guys heard the recorded version, so you have an idea of what it was like. Dancers all over Mariah, and us enjoying this new song.

Now of all the songs she performed, the one that was a bit disappointing was I Want To Know What Love Is. Yes, it was all live, but she struggled towards the end of the song, and the choir was consisted of 6 (or 8) people. The climax wasn't what it should've been. There wasn't really a big choir moment, and the song was short. Yes, even live, the song was short. That's where the major disappointment was. This particular song is all about the climax, and making that climax last. Unfortunately the climax wasn't all there, and there wasn't this overwhelming feeling of unison between the crowd, and the performers that you would expect from this song. Mariah, and the choir couldn't stir up the soul the way Foreigner did when they performed the song.
Yes, it was nice, and all--but not what you would expect. Now granted, this is her first time performing the song in front of an audience, so I'm sure that she'll do it better the next time.

She closed the concert with We Belong Together, and most of us left the concert pretty satisfied. Yes, the set list was short, but we got plenty of treats to make up for it. At the moment, the concert didn't seem short. This was a very intimate setting, and the whole time it felt like we were sitting in Mariah's living room, just having a good time with Mariah. That certainly made us very content. It was a very unique experience. Mariah was very comfortable with the crowd, and she was very welcoming. She spoke to us as if we were her friends from way back when.
Very funny comments were made through out the night. At one point she asked her crew to bring her a glass of "number one," that's when a few people in the front row jokingly teased her about the fact that she likes her drinks here, and there. She responded by asking them "what are you insinuating? Yes, I have a drink from time to time" as her crew person handed her a glass of champagne, and she proceeded to take a sip. Everyone laughed!

Another funny moment was about half way through the show, when she asked her audience to excuse her for having the necessity to have a light touch up before proceeding to next song. At that point her hair, and make-up people came right out to the stage, did her hair, and make up in front the entire audience. Through out the whole time she kept cracking jokes. It was pretty funny.

Overall this was a very good experience. It wasn't a huge production like The Adventures of Mimi, but the fact that it was intimate made it so much better. And yes, it was ALL LIVE. I can only laugh when I read the comments that were made by people who insist that she was lip-synching, when they weren't even there! To top it off, you're basing this accusation on a low quality recording that was made by someone's camera, or phone. I was there, and I was close enough to see every little expression that she had on her face as she sung every note. There is no question about that this was a live performance. With that said, I highly encourage you guys to go see Mariah perform live if you ever have the chance. The sooner the better. I've been lucky enough to have been able to see her perform live at least 5 times in the past 7 years. Her voice has definitely changed since the first time I saw her perform live 7 years ago.
Her voice will probably keep changing as the years go by. So if you have chance to see her live, do it, and do it soon... Cause we don't know where her voice will be five years from now. This is why we have to make the best out of everything that she comes out with now, instead of criticizing every little thing she does.

There's a possible chance that you will all get to see this concert for yourselves. There were cameras in the room, so we might get some of this footage on a future DVD.

Thank you all for reading. Yes it was pretty long, lol... but after noticing that some of you were sincerely awaiting my response, I didn't want to just give you a one paragraph review. Once again, I just

Thank you all for reading. Yes it was pretty long, lol... but after noticing that some of you were sincerely awaiting my response, I didn't want to just give you a one paragraph review. Once again, I just wanted to share the experience from a fan's perspective. So that for those who weren't there, or those that won't get a chance to go, can feel like they got at least a glimpse of what the concert experience was like.
Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel will be a very beautiful album, and it is a treat to all Mariah fans. Let's enjoy every moment of it, and help this album become not only a classic, but an album that will be noted in the pages of music history for decades to come. Mariah may just get to beat The Beatles with this album. We love you Mariah!

Oh the long-awaited HollywoodLeo report! Sorry man for cutting thru your comment with my previous comment... and this one,, LMAO.. I guess you ran out of characters, but keep going now as I am unable to go to any of her concerts..

Great HL! From what I've been able to listen from the concert my favorite is her singing My All with the diff arrangements! You can tell it was a great night for those lucky enough that got to go.

finally *HollywoodLeo* i LOVED your review! Thanks, it was very descriptive...im glad to hear that the venue is small because it looks kind of huge in the pictures and videos...i have seats towards the middle and i was worried that I wouldnt be able to see her all that well. Anyways, I cant wait to go, and your right, Memoirs will be a great album....

Everyone remember to keep requesting "OBSESSED" on radio and stream the video on AOL Music and Yahoo Music!!! Let's get it higher on the charts! We can do this, Lambs!!!

thanks Holloywoodleo...You the best.

omg the more i hear about it the more i see about it..its driving me crazy wen the heck is Oct 9 gonna get here so its my turn...lmao...so i think my favorite song off this album is gonna be "up out my face" haha i cant stop listening to it...lol

Just heard the extra long snippets of Mariah's upcoming album - OMG!!! OMG!!!

Not sure if you guys realise or not - this album doesn't have any other singers featured in like E=MC2 and Emancipation of Mimi, just PURELY MARIAH!!!

Mimi's era is gone! Now I can more and more of Mariah coming up! Mariah, Mariah!!! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS FANTASTIC ALBUM - THE VERY ORIGINAL YOU!

EVERYONE MUST BUY THIS ALBUM AND SUPPORT OBSESSED IN YAHOO MUSIC! STREAM THE MUSIC VIDEO! MAKE IT MARIAH'S ANOTHER #1!!!!

@ Hollywoodleo ,

dahling , thanks for your review..as if like im watching the real concert.Lol. Every words that you say..is really amazing..

Its too bad for me cause i only check out her live version of Angels cry via youtube.. and i must say , her voice Rocks! specially the last part.

with your review , im getting more excited about her new album..

But before that , Lets keep on streaming her OBSESSED video..

LAMBS let all Unite..

Hollywoodleo , got any Facepic , so that i can see you even from your pictures..(";)

ciao !

can't stop listening to betcha gon 'know..love it..

i love u mariah..

I'm looking forward & I pray that "Angels Cry" is gonna be no. 1 on Billboard. Because this song is really personal for me that helps express what I've been going through at the moment. That's why ever since I always love Mariah Carey cause she makes music that is really specially for her fans.

obsessed entered in uk charts 2nd. times. This time from no.52,

why they dont release obsessed officially anymore ??

http://uk.launch.yahoo.com/c/uk/single_charts.html

HollywoodLeo, Thank you sooooo much for the post. You're so lucky.It'st like having a joyride wit u LOL.
Ary, betcha gon know is my fav, as mentioned in my earlier post, first track from mimi album will always be 'special'. Cant wait to hear its entirety.

i want to hear Mariah singing an old song. i'm excited with i want to know what love is.

Thanks HL :) I've been listening to the youtube videos and although the quality isn't great, you can tell she is singing live. I don't think she would do that her fans on such an intimate occasion. Maybe yes, for small performances on little TV shows, i would understand then as she is trying to preserve her voice. But she sounded amazing and ironically through low quality videos. HL i can't imagine how amazing it would've been to see her.
And your right, her voice could change in 5 years time. I hope she tours in the UK for this album. I will see her, i'm determined to.
I thought IWTKWLI was a very good performance considering it was her first live performance and the last high note was amazing. It gave me goosebumps. Angel's Cry was phenomenal. But for me, Ribbon is still my favourite track on the album from the preview clips we have heard. It sounds so passionate and sexy. I'm very excited for MOAIA :)

Obsessed is #1 on rhythmic radio!

Common guys! Lets make Obsessed her 19th #1!

Thanks for the comments guys, and you're welcome! Anything for fellow Mariah fans...
I was happy to share my experience with you. I wrote it as I was winding down from my wild weekend, and knew that I was going to be putting in some time writing it, so I put on the Glitter dvd, and had it playing on the background as I wrote.

I was happy to come across the new snippets. Thank you "Me."
These new snippets are great, cause most of them pick up right where the first ones left of. So we get to listen to about a minute's worth of the new songs.

My top favorite is Ribbons--I'm in love with this song! It's a Wrap probably comes in second, what a great melody!
Up Out My Face is so addictive! Another melodic tune.

I'm curious about Betcha, it sounds so dark, and deep.
Standing O, sounds like the jam...
And of course Angels Cry.
This album is going to be off the hook!

@SuperMariah, I definitely have face pics, but we can't really post pics here (I think). We really need a full on Mariah forum, where we can have avatars, and all. Does MariahDaily have a Facebook page? That could be a start... (I haven't checked)

@ Hollywod Leo

Thank you much for your review!!!

But I'm sorry to say, althouth Mariah sang live a lot, there were soooo much playback. She lipped a few songs. She has a great voice, bu com'on, some things are evident. I don't need to be there, I know Mariah since 1990, I can tell you when she sings live and when not...

Love Mariah, can't wait for the album!

I actually think this is the best Mariah has sounded since her Charmbracelet tour. Her voice has regained some of its "elasticity", it sounds full, and her vocal runs sounded natural. Plus, she sounds confident. Sure, there was a lot of playback BUT you can def hear Mariah's live voice when she breaks away from the melody like towards the end of Up Out My Face.

I'm so ready for her performance on Oprah =D

Hey guys, someone posted a video with the snippets combined, so now we get to hear the full minute snippet version. Here's the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB1TJQsRHPc

@amador. Say what you say... I'm not going to argue with you. I'm taking a break from having debates with people on here.

Memoirs is going to OUTSELL Emancipation for sure! Obsessed quickly rises to #1! Would be great to see the poster of memoirs promotion saying, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel featuring the #1 hit Obsessed!"

--just watched the perfrormances from vegas on youtube. YOU CAN TELL WITH THE ULTRA-LOW QUALITY THAT SHE DIDNT LIP! the voice was really on point. i cant believe how well she sang Honey! the high belts were amazing! she's still untouchable in the high register. NOBODY can touch her when that voice is fully rested! i listened to the other snippets too. this album is gonna be straight FIRE! i think Up Out My Face should come after IWTKWLI. I know its gonna be a #1 album but how much do yall think Mariah will sell the 1st week? Do you think she can sell more than E=MC2??? oh, and im loving the HAIR. she looks better than she did when she first wore the natural look! I wonder what 'DRB' has to say about all the success and positive feedback that MC has been getting. lol. OBSESSED is really blowing up. gaining 2mill AI each day! this will def. be a top 5 hit the week of the album release. and IWTKWLI is gaining 1mill a day too! this is a very good sign; i really hope the song is successful...*

I REALLY HATE WHEN CERTAIN 'FANS' SAY "I KNOW WHEN MARIAH LIPS I'VE THERE SINCE 1990". OH SHUTUP!!!!!! YOU DONT KNOW SHIT. IF YOU WERE NOT THERE WATCHING MARIAH SING EVERY SINGLE NOTE, AD-LIB AND RUN, YOU CANT TELL ANYTHING. THE VOICE WAS IN GREAT CONDITION THOSE NIGHTS. SHE NEVER LIPPED AN ENTIRE SONG AT ALL. 'CLOSE MY EYES' WAS TOTALLY LIVE . IDC WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS NOT LIVE WAS THE CLIMAX OF 'SUBTLE INVITATION'. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS COMPLETELY LIVE!!

would you listen to that chorus on More Than Just Friends??! Those vocals arrangements, it's like we've gone back in time. How does she fucking do it???????!!! sorry about that but there's no other way to express it LOL! I haven't even listened to the whole thing and I'm already stoned on this. It just makes me damn happy.

I really like that recreation picture Mariah did. I always liked that album cover, because it gives off this "I'm Here" kind of attitude.

Oh and I forgot Ribbon which also has that feel.. It's weird 'cause the album sort of has a retro feel to it but it's modern enough to be up to date. She sounds very grown and aggressive too, you know like she really really means it, this is just a delight.. i swear i could go on and on..

Does anyone watch the review of IWTKWLI by the youtube hater - THE SCORPIOMAN?? He's like telling the world how Mariah sucks and how good is Whitney.

Any thoughts about that?

GET OBSESSED UP TO #1 PLS EVERYONE. WITH OUR CONCERTED EFFORT MARIAH WILL TOP THE CHART SOON THIS WEEK OR NEXT WEEK!

DON'T EVER THINK #7 IS ENOUGH!!! WE JUST NEED TO STREAM THE SINGLE IN YAHOO ALL DAY FOR THESE 2 WEEKS TO GET THAT SINGLE UP A FEW SPOTS!

I LOVE MARIAH And I WILL DO THIS FOR HER!

OBSESSED HAS TO GO #1! MARIAH I LOVE U!

So right now I am setting aside an hour and a half and stream Obsessed on a yahoo playlist all the while voting for Obsessed on the various online radio pages :D Mariah would be so proud of me :P No but seriously this is my time to dedicate to her for dedicating those late nights perfecting this album and giving us such an array of music.

hey guys dnt forget that "I want to know what love is" is on itunes now!!! :) so u know what we should do?? ofcourse download IWKWLI but also download "Obsessed" one more time on itunes! :) what u think??

@Me.
There's a reason why More Than Just Friends sounds familiar. I thought the same thing. Then I figured it out, and confirmed it... The hook to More Than Just Friends has the same notes as the remix for Notorius B.I.G's "One More Chance." The part where they sing, "one more chance, Biggie give me one more chance..." That's the same hook. Your comment made me think about it, and I figured it out. Then confirmed it by looking at the credits for More Than Just Friends. It has a sample for Biggie's One For Chance.
That's why it sounds so familiar.

Ribbon is like a combination of Babydoll, and 4Real4Real. A lot of the drum line/808's of Ribbon is straight out of Babydoll. Listen carefully. The hook is a combination of 4real4real, and Babydoll.

Either way, the songs are great!

Hi Hollywoodleo , thanks for your reply. actually ive checked facebook and your right , there's no mariahdaily..

Anyways , im so happy to see the revised version of the album cover. The middle pic i must say , i can see her face.. and the 3rd pic in the right corner shows her elbows.. its better than the 1st one.

Now , back in my country , i already pre-order MOIA..and good news MANILA LAMBS , u get the chance to have a MARIAH DESIGNER -PIllow..so nice..

Anyways , Lambs do u have any FACEBOOK account ? If so feel free to add me up via my email addy : hot_tamale05@yahoo.com

so that i can some of my fellow lambsies..

Please continue to vote for OBSESSED and DOWNLOAD - I want to know what love is..

au revoir!

People hate fans say "I know when she lips 'cause I've been here sinse 1990". You know what? I Hate when somebody who is called a fan does can't see whaen she lips and when not... We are not haters. We are true and devoted fans. We love her, even when she lips. It looks like if you feel she would be worse for lipping. Mariah is the best, her voice is still amazing live, BUT she lips a lot. A lot. Like the Vegas shows.

"IF YOU WERE NOT THERE WATCHING MARIAH SING EVERY SINGLE NOTE, AD-LIB AND RUN, YOU CANT TELL ANYTHING. THE VOICE WAS IN GREAT CONDITION THOSE NIGHTS. SHE NEVER LIPPED AN ENTIRE SONG AT ALL. 'CLOSE MY EYES' WAS TOTALLY LIVE . IDC WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS NOT LIVE WAS THE CLIMAX OF 'SUBTLE INVITATION'. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS COMPLETELY LIVE!!".
hmmm, madonna, celine and michael jackson sing lipped , mariah also sing lip.
michael jackson even worst in singing lip, he often sing lip in entire songs in every concert .

@HollywoodLeo

Thank you for sharing with so many details your experience. I read every word you wrote and I laughed a lot, had a good time. Thanks! I hope to see MC again, I met her at HK airport last year, she gave me a handshake and that was freaking crazy! I miss that day :) Take care

How to say something to somebody who thinks Close My Eyes was live................ Her voice was in a very good condition. But she lipped a lot. And that's because she wanted to, she has enough voice to do it live.

Just heard the alleged reason that Mariah had so many cancellations/postponements, etc. I hope it's not true and if it is. Mariah is even stronger than I could have imagined.

@ Mr_Mariah_ What's the alleged reason you've heard as to why she's POSTPONED her many events that are lined up?

AND GUYS! I bought it 4 times over. Please get your copy of "IWTKWLI." Its a great song. AND I also purchased "Obsessed" 4 times over. Get both of them. It'll be nice to see Mariah have a repeat of two singles topping the Hot 100 simultaneously like "We Belong Together" and "Shake It Off"

Whitney was AMAZING ON oprah!
Mariah better bring her A-game on friday and show why she and whitney r the best singers of all time!

IWTKWLI currently @ #44 on itunes.

Download IWKWLI is currently at number 37 on itunes while leonas new single is at 28!
com'on lambs please let iWKWLI debut high on the Hot 100.

thanks "HollywoodLeo" about that info on More Than Just Friends. I actually wouldn't have known as I've never really listened to Notorious B.I.G. No wonder the song sounds like a 90s' throwback. I'll look for that One More Chance remix and hear what it sounds like.

And Mr_Mariah, what are u talking about these alleged reasons? now i gotta look around the net, don't do stuff like that man! at least give us a link lol

Obsessed is really going at it on Rhythmic radio. It's gone from +130 spins when it reached #1 last saturday to +555 spins today. Almost 6000 spins a week overall. 3rd greatest gainer. Wow! O.O

Download IWKWLI is currently at number 37 on itunes while leonas new single is at 28!
com'on lambs please let iWKWLI debut high on the Hot 100.

UPDATE: MARIAH- OBSESSED #17/ IWTKWLI #44. LEONA- #45 :)

Mariah fan on UK X-Factor. Wow actually I felt sorry for the guy but at least he got the crowd singing along to Hero.

DOWNLOAD IWTKWS.. keep on streaming OBSESSED..

LAMBS lets UNITE!

HAIL QUEEN MARIAH!

We can start requesting IWKWLI as we request Obsessed since its already impacting radio guys :P Radio Impact will help IWKWLI to make a big first splash on the billboard charts. Its currently #29 right now at iTunes o.O Has everyone downloaded it yet?! Well, I guess its only the second day and Mariah has yet to really promote it to a non-fan-base audience. I hope that it ends up in the top 10 that way people get interested. This single is gonna be hard to get the current music trend followers into though since electro pop autotune garbageis in at the moment. I just hope it doesn't end up like Bye Bye did :O That song virtually killed E=MC2, well, that and her disappearing from the public to get hitched and practically giving up on promotion. I hope that there is promotion scheduled for before this album drops and for IWKWLI like seriously if shes gonna get all lazy about promotion she should at least bust her butt the first month all over the place. Its a shame that she didn't get her chance on the MTV awards. Are there any big televised music events coming up?

@SYNERGY....... SHE'S GOING TO BE PERFORMING THE SONG ON OPRAH THIS FRIDAY! SHE'LL BE AT CENTRAL PARK IN NEWYORK. ITS GOING TO BE GREAT. AND YOU KNOW HOW MANY PPL WATCH OPRAH!

wooooo IWTKWLI number 31!! :) hope it goes to top 5!! :) even number 1 on itunes!

And guess what Memoirs is #13 on iTunes Top Albums and its the only album in the top 20 that is a pre-order. IWKWLI will definitely be top 10 for sure by rhw end of the week maybe even top 5. Promotion will be key though, people need to hear the song and know its the next single. Remember to star requesting both singles now :D We can can kill two birds with one stone.

I think Memoirs should outsell Emancipation for the fact that it's such a good album with different styles and emotions.

Mariah would have to promote this album like she did for Emancipation.

WOW, Leona's latest single - HAPPY is so beautiful. I'm loving her - the new WHITNEY+MARIAH.

Lambs as of 4:05 a.m (9.16.09). "Obsessed" is at #15, "I Want To Know What Love Is" sits at #29 and the album 'Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel' (Pre-Order) is sitting pretty at number at #13.

Typo above ^ (at the ending, with the repeating of at), overlook that please :)

Keep on requesting "Obsessed" AND "I Want To Know What Love Is": http://Obsessed.rules.it :)

Bobby brown didn't I warn you not to promote other female singer than me the 'IM EVERY WOMAN'? Give me good love Boobby. Ohhh thanks to the Oprah interview my two singles is currently at #89 & #87. I hope mariah will not crack her voice like i did to ensure that her IWTKWLI keep rising @ itunes. BTW Forever by DRAKE & friends makes it to #3 and it was released the same day as IWTKWLI. Wow that's a competition. Keep voting for me me

Thanks David Fireman, I'm glad you enjoyed reading it.

wow..im impressed with u guys supporting mariah..

she is the greatest..

still loving betcha..

pls guys get obsessed to #1 then IWTKWLI..that will silence the haters..

@ MArQuis.. Rumour has it Mariah miscarried.

@ Mr_Mariah_ Woooooooow. If that's true, then that has got to be one of the saddest things I've ever heard. I mean, I've heard of ppl having miscarriages but this seemed to hit me. Hope its not true.

Where are all the banners, widgets, and mariahdaily download campaigns to promote IWTKWLI ? When Obsessed went up for downloads the ads were all over the place. Maybe they're waiting until after she performs on Oprah... maybe?!?

come on ppl!! download IWKWLI on itunes!!!!!!!!

I don't know if it is true but the "Mariah Carey Miscarriage" Rumour is on the internet on various sites. I hope it's not true because she deserves a baby after everything she has been through. If it is true, it is so sad.

centre mariah on the moaia cover reminds me of shania on her up! cover. only shania was cute rather than slutty. still, moaia promises to be one of the best releases of 2009. go mariah!!

I'M HAPPY FOR YOUR NEW ALBUM, MARIAH, BUT BEYONCÉ HAD ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS OF ALL TIME!!

Kanye West is an idiot.

Why isn't mariah new single moving on iTunes? Everyone promote, promote, promote! Currently, "I Want To Know What Love Is" sits at #28, "Obsessed" #16, and the Pre-Order for the album is at #14, as of 2:55 p.m. (9.17.09). Only 12 Days Left for the album release...

"I Gotta Feeling" ties the Peas' own "Boom Boom Pow" for longest-running Hot 100 No. 1 - 12 weeks - in four years. The tracks own the longest commands since Mariah Carey spent 14 weeks in charge with "We Belong Together" in 2005.

Lambs sorry but i don't want anyone to be breaking mariah carey recoreds for anything this decade so that mean we need to work are ass off to make sure mariah moves up on the charts and the black eye peas go down

Is anyone else a tad bit annoyed that Mariah's role in Precious is getting more coverage than her new album? All the public knows is shes in a movie and shes surprisingly good forget about the album. She won't even have time to promote her album if she keeps this up. 12 days left and not a single televised event. Hell even radio interviews would be fine. Most people knew about Whitney's album coming out way in advance even Jay Z's album. He did some major concert time and i sam it all over the media outlets. Everyone I talk to say they didn't know she had an album coming out soon even though they've heard Obsessed on the radio. BTW the album is sitting at 18 on the iTunes Top Albums now. What gives?!

Gimme a 'P'
Gimme an 'R'
Gimme an 'O'
Gimme an 'M'
Gimme an 'O'
Gimme a 'T'
Gimme an 'I'
Gimme an 'O'
Gimme an 'N'
What does that spell?! No but seriously Mariah hasn't even promoted Obsessed. The single would probably be sitting a bit higher if her management knew what they were doing. Same ish happened with E=MC2. I wanna see double promotion to make up for her lack of promotion for Obsessed. Still can't believe that song got to where it is without any help from Mariah or her people. That was straight up fans that got that song recognized.

Atleast when 'Obsessed' went up for downloads there were ads on the iternet like on myspace and stuff. Like someone mentioned before, there aren't even any download campaigns, giveaways, or widgets to promote the new album or single. Maybe next week they'll start the promo blitz...???All I know is Mariah better sing her butt off tomorrow on Oprah and get her promo together fast.

Also, though I'm anxiously awaiting a video for IWTKWLI, I really want Mariah to take her time and make a good video. Not one filled with just beauty shots.

LAMBS pls keep on streaming OBSESSED and IWTKWS...

Thanks =)
my itunes is working so slow today

LET'S CAMPAIGN FOR RIBBON TO BE THE NEXT SINGLE! IT'S REALLY GREAT!

SGSHW!!

rerto 90's look is perfect! I love her new look. Loved the performance, but the interview was no good, they did not talk aboute THE ALBUM. Nick is sooo ugly. anyway, mariah looks happy with him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCwK1ZursVo

Phenomenal. Her pipes sound amazing, I can tell she has rested! Her high note left me speechless and it left the crowd speechless. Just look at the crowd's and Oprah's face. Amazing Mariah <3

--mariah killed it on oprah! I love nick and he's not ugly... but obsessed is not playin no games! back to #13 on itunes while IWTKWLI is at #37...*

I FOUND EVEN MORE SNIPPETS! http://www.beezik.com/beezik/anonymousMemberMusicAlbum.htm?category=Album&keyword=MemoirsofanimperfectAngel&idProduct=155404

Isnt this just pure poetry???

"Though the lights were low, I could see you both in a lover's silhouette, and my heart stood still I was froze right there staring down at her red dress, so I bolted out the door jumped right into the car, its too dangerous to be in the vicinity of where you are, rolled down all the windows just so I could breathe, can't believe you just actually did this sh*t to me.
I'm going about a hundred, mascara running, laughing outta anger but don't stike me as funny, been too good to you, i've been virtious and true, to have something like this happen in my own bedroom."

wow --honey* thank U!! this is awesome!

@--Honey*
Thanks for finding those new snippets =D

I like the way "Its A Wrap" starts... so soulful. I think its going to be the stand out track of the album. Just Mariah's voice and a simple beat. Ribbon and Betcha are tied for second place IMO: ones great production wise, the others lyrically awesome.

lovin on my mind.. lovin on my mind.. wrapped up wrapped up ribbon with a bow on it lovin on my mind.. lovin on my mind.. wrapped up wrapped up ribbon with a bow on it, ribbon with a bow on it, ribbon with a bow on it, ribbon with a bow on it, ........

"wwoooaaah welcome to a day of my life... welcome, welcome, welcome..."

is this her best album intro ever or what??!!

It's all about Betcha, HateU, Ribbon, Candy Bling, Languishing, Standing O, It's A Wrap, Impossible, Angels Cry, ... well,, the whole thing lol

they better milk this album. I want at least 5 singles from this! And then a couple more with the re-release including the left-out tracks. They better! LMAO! but seriously!

Hell Yeah !! they better milk this album and have HEAVY promotion!!! After those snippets, they have plenty of great singles to choose from! Standing O, Up outta my face, ribbon, and angels cry are potential #1s as are a few more.

i dnt know about IWKWLI yet, just gotta wait and see how it catches on.

woooo Obsessed is back to #12 on itunes!! :D but IWTKWLI is at number 44
:( i would have figured it would have went up cuz of Oprah...but it doesnt look like it :(

They didnt even talk about IWTKWLI or the album on Oprah. It was just about Precious and her marriage. Her performance was GREAT but I think it got overshadowed by everything else that was going on which sucks :(

Mariah Carey is doing great on I want to know what love is in Fiji radio station and many people are requesting this song on Legend FM. C'mon Fiji let download this song on itunes and keep supporting Mariah Carey

@me

@mariahdork
i love u..thanks..now im super excited..

Mariah should start promoting the album this week!
she should promote IWKWLI and hopefully this song will have an awesome video
with a theme. Mariah needs to reschedule all the promo tours she canceled and do some heavy promotion cuz this album is wayyyy better than E=Mc2 by a long shot!

I am dying to hear the new album! These long snippets are just teasing me! I want the FULL songs!!! Sept. 29 cant get here fast enough!

Who's ever ordered a cd from Amazon? I want to pre order the album but I'm scared it'll come to me in pieces lol

to jeffery---even though im in love with the snippits of this album i still feel my all time favorite mariah album will be e=mc2...thats my ablum right there!!!

So rumor has it that Mariah was saying that IWKWLI was not her choice as a single :( I'm sure it was her new managements choice to have her release it so they could create this whole battle of the divas story that no one cares about. After all they are not only managing her but they also are managing Whitney Houston. I think they are trying to help out Whitney by slowing Mariah down a bit. I really hope that all of you who are head over heels for IWKWLI support the crap out of this song but from the looks of iTunes it doesn't look promising. I really like the song but to me in the current music age I find it quite outdated and boring compared to the kind of music out right now. Kinda like when Bye Bye was released and no one paid attention to it. The real big mistake is releasing a snoozer like this just before people are going to buy the album. I hope she showcases some other songs that are more upbeat before her cd drops. I'm actually praying that since she is doing a video with hype that she is actually doing a video for another song so that the momentum of the album stays strong. Hype's videos to me don't seem to go with IWKWLI maybe it's Up Out My Face or HATE U. She did say she had a few surprises for us. I know she is forced to do that single because they are trying to reach the older and more traditional fanbase. Who knows maybe I'm wrong about IWKWLI it does showcase some large vocals and is a classic in itself... :P Pleeeeeeeaaaaasssssee people support your girl since she did this for you.

And although I disagree with the single choice and the lack of promotion/ promotion to the wrong crowd. I know that this CD is her best CD since Emancipation and Butterfly. I'm soo excited about it you have no idea :D I just want to see them treating it as such. All I see so far is that suburban housewives who watch Oprah should go get the Album. And really all I saw was mariah talking about Precious and Nick Cannon. I can't see how IDJ can massively promote Rihanna to mass audiences but when it comes to their top money machine, Mariah Carey, they slack off and come off as incompetent. We shall see if they can do this Masterpeice Album any justice in a few days.

I somehow agree with you Synergy, I never felt IWTKWLI as a single choice. To me it still lacks a certain something. If anything it should have been the last single from the album. I just don't see how a cover song can be the follow up to Obsessed. I've never been into the whole conspiracy theories so I'll skip the comments about Whitney Houston. I do believe at this point that releasing IWTKWLI was a bland move to try and attract the AC crowd to get the album along with the release, so you'll get people buying cause of Obsessed and others cause of IWTKWLI, will it work? we'll have to wait and see. I also didn't associate Hype Williams with a IWTKWLI video, but she did mention on Oprah that the video has a "concert" scenario. Maybe they're doing two videos, idk. I'm feeling at this point she's "sabotaging" herself by releasing a second single with the first still growing. Of course by "she" i mean the people that handle that stuff. Of course, times have changed so much since so long ago when the first single was always the breakthrough single for the album release. It seems now it's all about the second single. But let's face it, by the snippets alone, there could've been so many choices apart from IWTKWLI for second single as I don't see this being a huge hit for Memoirs. All I want for this album is that it stands the test of time and be huge enough to have longevity in terms of popularity as I already know it's gonna be one of my favorites along with the Butterfly album.

i think is mariah saying IWKWLI wasnt her choice as a single is a excuse for its lack on the charts!
sorry but she should had took out another song but since the lambs wanted ballads ya got one!
mariah doesnt have to listen to anybody but her, and nowadays artist decide what their singles should be! it might catch on or it might not but lets see wat happens!

Hello everyone !

By now, with the long snippets, we all have an idea of what the album sounds like.
And here is what I have to say:
- Obsessed was a very great 1rst single and with the help of def jam, should be #1 when the album comes out.
- I'm very unhappy with IWTKWLI as a 2nd single; once again, it wasn't meant to be the 2nd single; but it did because everyone got scare of withney, scare of the comparaison, scared of loosing the old fans... Very bad choice! Don't get me wrong, I love this song but it is not a good single for today music market. But still; it may reach the top ten or even get to #1; but it will only be because of the album release and chart manipulation by defjam.
- Now what is next ?
"Up out my face" would be a very bad choice for a 3rd single. I know yall think it will be good for the kids, but it will be ridiculous for mariah to sing this crap. I like the song but not a single. The dream have made to many songs that sound like this one. It is catchy, but not good enough for mariah carey.
"Angels cries" would be boring as a single. Its a very good song but since they already have IWTKWLI as 2nd single ... too bad!

HERE IS WHAT I suggest before all those single choices end up like with E=mc2:

3rd SINGLE : "STANDING O"; success for sure; I'm telling u... It will be as big as Rihanna with umbrella, even bigger; ... I know it. It is hip hop/rnb; it goes with the music market today; it s a great follow up to Obsessed. And i swear god; it is exactly the type of song people want. The kid will love it and it is mature enough for the older to dance on it. It is a number one song and if it is not release as a single; ... well it will be the "Side effect" or "the migrate" of this album. You know "standing O" is a number one from the first listen. Please get it out.

4th SINGLE: should be "Betcha". This song is probably one of mariah's best song ever. Thats why it is a nice 4th single, because even if the album will get toward the end at that time and not to much promotion budget ... Mariah's talent, gift of voice and the emotion she puts in that song will be enough to go high on the chart.

Sorry for "HATE U"; it can not be release as a single. I love that song, it should have been this one instead of IWKWLI; but now it is too late. And it cant be the 3rd single cauz we need a up tempo as a 3rd single. It cant be the 4th single because "Betcha" is way better. I love "hate U" but I m scared about people reactions (like: -it s to close to we belong together -it sounds a bit like I stay in love - why is she wispering etc...) I understand the minie reperton thing going on, but Im not sure everyone will get it. "Betcha" will touch people for sure cauz here is the real mariah.

I m just so mad at them for pickin up IWNWLI as 2nd single; it's like we dont live in the same world. The song is beutifull, but please we re in 2009 almost 2010.

Anyway, here is my conclusion and u better understand me:

1rst single: OBSESSED
2nd single: IWKWLI
3rd single: STANDING O
4th single: BETCHA

Period !!!

I love MC and wish I was part of her management team !!!

The pro.

you're wrong Michie, it's not an excuse. How can it be one if she's not promoted this and has presented it to the public just once two days ago! The song has already debuted on the R&B charts based on radio airplay alone. Plus, the digital release was just last tuesday, so the song is gonna debut on the Hot 100 by next week's chart, if at all. Although by the looks of it, it's not gonna be a huge debut 'cause as I've said radio is still growing on Obsessed. That's what I meant by "sabotaging" herself. IWTKWLI isn't gonna be an instant hit if radio is still playing Obsessed, and Obsessed might not go any further if radio decides to ditch it and start playing IWTKWLI. It's a lose-lose situation as far as the singles' chart performance go. The song IS doing extremely well on AC radio, I'll have to acknowledge that fact.

I agree with The Pro. IWTKWLI is such an obvious choice for a single but I would've preferred for it to be the last single if they felt that much need to put it out. Despite the fact that I'm feeling the whole album I also don't want songs like Up Out My Face or Angels Cry being released. Again, obvious choices, so obvious she decided to sing them at Vegas. She needs to go for the edgier songs or the ones that don't sound so close to anything she's released before. I still cannot believe they passed on Side Effects during E=MC2. That tune still rocks to this day.

And of course after those 4th singles getting out and having at least 2 number 1 bb hot 100; which means mariah having 20 #1s hit singles and being on the same level as the beattles; I am expectin the album re-released. Re-loaded with new tunes.
Here is the plan: Re-release the album with 100% (from precious) + The timbaland tune. I never heard it but if I listen to my intuition; it will be Mariah 21st #1.
BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO.
Mariah will simply be the best of the best, the #1 of number One and everyone will be so happy, so proud, so ....

21 #1 bb hot 100. Now What u say Tommy ??? We rock your world.!!!

And all off this will be perfect timing:
21 number one single; turning 40 years old; recognition as an actress at the Oscar with precious; starting a familly with Nick or "the One"; and just feeling free of doin whatever she want to do.... Playin in movies; releasin album when she wants too and not havin the chart pression.... And most of everything just bein proud of what she accomplished.

... Oh and of course hire me as her special adviser.

Kisses to all the lambs and special thoughts for Mariah. Et Coucou a Jazmine too !!!

Bisous.

The Pro.

Actually i believe that its to soon for a second single.
Obsessed is all over! i heard it 3 times on the radio today in a matter of 1 hour!
Obsessed is becoming a big hit!
i personally think IWKWLI should wait to be released

Candy Bling, Ribbon and Hate U can be singles those songs R current to todays music! and also more than just friends has that feel to it!

Can we reunite and start downloading ''Obsessed'' again on itunes?? i ve download ''obsessed'' for 5times now.... Please lambs let help Mariah to get this as nubmer #1 on Hot 100

i dont think angels cry should be released but i definetly and strongly think and hope to god that "up out my face" gets released...that and betcha along side obsessed r my favs from this album

ok so, during the beginning of her Oprah performance don't you get the feel that she's this newcomer artist about to burst into Vision Of Love. It's that hair, and the black clothes, the yellow background with the M A R I A H written with the "Mariah" font. It's kinda scary haha dejavu o_0

... oh and i forgot, she did the whole standing in front of the mike stand with both her hands along the sides then making an airgrip just like she does on the VOL video. creepy haha dejavu o_0

and is it me or did she recreate the Glitter shots also? I saw this MOAIA commercial where there's some new pictures of her standing against a grey-ish background.

I also like the "Butterly" pic they're gonna use on the album, and the Obsessed picture used in the back of the CD which compensates for all the whiteness of the packaging.

Hey everybody!

If she says in "STANDING O" what I think she says, we should save it to be the last single (during the grammys period). It will go straight to #1 (I know it;... so much potential and catchy... and for all ages and daim GooD) !!!! Brillant !

In other Words; IT WILL BE THE BIG FUCK TO THE GRAMMYS PEOPLE.
Excuse my language; but it ain't better words to express it ...

PS: And let BETCHA be the 3rd single it will know as much success as we belong together in 2005. But dont get me wrong, its really not the same type of songs; but it touches you deep in your heart the way "We belong" did, if it is not even more.

I totally understand the direction of the Album and I have to say:
BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO Mariah Carey, BRAVO .

Sick of those thinking that they should be hired to pick new singles to be released from Angel's Memoirs.

Mariah knows her stuff. Let her do her things!

I personally love the whole album and think this is her best effort yet to come out doing something refreshing and new.

Mariah will definitely get more #1s! You know she is destined to be!

With Obsessed being played furiously now it is very likely that Obsessed will peak at #1 so easily as long as everyone keeps supporting it!

I will support whatever single Mariah chose to release cuz I know that's going to be great!

So LAMBs, pls stream Obsessed everyday just to help the single get onto #1!

why the music in new album so similar one to another.. only the lyrics r deffernt..

I really think that she should stay away from releasing the slow ballads as singles. Like it or not most people love the upbeat stuff including me nowadays. Even though IWKWLI is a beautiful song, this definitley shouldnt be the 2nd single! The 2nd single should be another upbeat song like standing o, and then up outta my face. Then release Ribbon, betcha gon kno, and finally IWKWLI. And they better re-release this album and have two more singles or something because i really want to hear the song with timbaland.

Guys I have a question:

if Im streaming Obsessed on the obsessed.rules.it site, does it count as airplay? Or do i have to exclusivelY stream it on the yahoo website??

Plz respond! I wanna help MCC and get Obsessed to #1!!! :D

LAMBS I AM PISSSED MARIAH WHOLE ABLUM HAS BEEN LEAKED ON YOUTUBE I AM SO PISSED BUT I WILL STILL BUY IT CUZ I AM TRUE LAMB

It surely counts since the video link that I used at Obsessed.rules.it is exactly FROM the Yahoo site... But a better idea is to go to Yahoo and make a PLAYLIST of JUST the "Obsessed" video and thus it will rotate non-stop... :) And an even better thing to do is to REQUEST on the different radios whenever you can and to spread out the Obsessed.rules.it link and encourage others to STREAM, VOTE, REQUEST and DOWNLOAD "Obsessed" and "I Want To Know What Love Is"... :)

Ok, thanks Bobby!
The album leaked. Im SO furiousss!!! UGH!
I downoloaded it but I'll buy it either way! 3 copies baby! =D

how the hell did the album leak????????????? aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
whatever it's a total stone groove smash hit world wide takover! 109273013408936846029650791240560124956078916507 times better than whitneys all the way! i'll be first in line to buy for shiz

umm ariel u don't have to diss whitney just to bring mariah up!
plus its not such a a suprise it leaked, every album leaks!

it's not an insul it's an observation LOL but seriously can't say that whitney's is btr. whatever all i care about is that mariah's is frieken amazing. it something totally different while it brings ur mind to the old stuff. only mariah could do this and the lyrics are her best since charmbracelet :)

WTF, we can't even listen to SIRIUS|XM Radio online for free!!! They make you sign up and pay for the subscription. Hope the website will post the interview soon! =O)
Honestly, I am supporting and will support IWTKWLI but if HATEU is not the next single I will be pretty disappointed. Love the whole album overall though. My only comment is that there are a lot of songs that talk about cheating, failed or troubled love. Only The Impossible puts out a positive or hopeful message and I was surprised about that given that Mariah is in love now.
Anyway, i will by several copies of the album - as usual - and support all the singles like nobody's business!!! :)

... buy...

iTunes Update as of 6:37 p.m. (9/21). "Obsessed" # 12, "I Want To Know What Love Is" #50, "Obsessed (Remix)" #189, and the Pre-Oder "Memoirs" #32. Only 7 and 1/2 days left. IMPORTANT!!! DON'T LISTEN TO THE LEAKED ALBUM ON YOUTUBE, WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT LIKE I AM.

UN - FUCKING - BELIEVABLE !!

@ Me: What's wrong?

HATE U is the SHIT!!!!
that song needs to be released as a single!
Ribbon as well! i heard 2 minutes of the full songs and they were amazing!
The 29th seems miles away by now!

I can't find this supposed album leak. There is one offering a link to download but for all we know its just the snippets. Anyone check the validity of this leak? Still buying my copies of the album of course.

Big deal if it Leaked!
Us Lambs will still buy copies of the album!
I know im gonna buy my copy the first day!
Plus Im sure that it won't affect mariah's sales!
Lil Waynes the carter 3 leaked wayy before its release date, and look, it sold 1 million on its first week!

@ Huh: just type Mariah Carey and the name of the son, then click on the video that says "full song." @ Jeffrey: yes, leaks don't really significantly affect album sales - just think of E=MC2 .... The new album will do great, so I say: for the time being let's just enjoy the leaked songs!

@iRocs --> the album of course! what else?!

if you still want to be surprised, don't read my comments below, even though it's just personal reactions upon first listen, i'm not giving away specific details.

It's fucking EPIC!!! I'll just say this: Betcha made my jaw DROP to the floor. Definitely groundbreaking for her standards. Inseperable is the underdog of this album seeing as nobody mentioned it before, I even felt it was a filler, but the build up was nice enough for me to go "Ok, ok!". HATEU is THE absolute SHIT! I almost cried on how passionate it is. Dream's demo has NOTHING on Mariah's version. Standing O, Angels Cry, I thought it was just regular old style Mariah but this album version gets to you... I'll just say Mariah fucking delivered. She tried things, she deserves all the praise and more with this album.

For those of you who want to wait, that's fine. I don't see the point IF you're gonna get the album anyway. But that's up to you. I live outside the US and don't even know when I might get the album on my local stores but I always buy it when I see it, AND I'm still gonna get it from Amazon as I've always done, even though I won't probably get my hands on it till God knows when 'cause I won't have it delivered overaseas. I would even get it off Itunes if I could. You have NO idea how big of a sacrifice it is for me to get her album from Amazon, but I do it because I feel it's the best thing I can do.

Every album leaks nowadays, see it as a good thing cause nobody would leak an album that nobody wanted to listen to. I'm just surprised it didnt leak earlier to be honest. The leak is out there, I'm not posting links though.

GET THAT ALBUM COME SEPTEMBER 29!!

KEEP SUPPORTING OBSESSED AND IWTKWLI! JUST GET THE WORD OUT THERE!

Plus fyi, the leak thats out there aint even full extreme high quality, another reason to get the real deal next week :)

@ me. Just a word of encouragement: I am also living outside of US in a remote island call Fiji in the South Pacific and Iam using paypal account with my US workmate and to get her latest Disc in a week and I will buy 3 copies to uplift her on Billaboard.
Iam supporting her coz she is drinking Fiji Water and is where Iam currently working and on TOP of that bottle of Fiji WATER is also featured on on her mini Magazine that will be included on Memoir of Imperfect Angels.

I'm SO surprised everyone is so thrilled with this record. I couldn't be a bigger supporter or fan of Mariah than I have been since the beginning, but she doesn't even sing on this. I love her lower register and her whisper tones, but the entire record is sung like that. And its incredibly difficult to understand the lyrics. And I know she doesn't have the range she once did, but there are a few great moments on Memiors when she is singing in her full voice that say she can still put it together in the studio. So I'm wondering why the whole thing is so SLOW and monotone and low and whispered. I'm waiting for the song to go somewhere and it just never does. I believe she has more of her voice still than this record lets on. Some of the songs are incredibly well written with amazing melodies, but she just didn't sing them. And when Standing O is the closest thing you have to an upbeat song on the entire record a major ingredient is missing. I love her. Always will. But I'm just going to hope for a re-release with a few more tracks. As for now..... I'm bummed.

pls buy the album
pls buy the album
pls buy the album
pls buy the album

OUT 29th 09

This is very best album

--ok. just got finished listeining to the album. I REALLY LIKE IT!!! this is something that is really different for her but at the same time the songs remind you of some of her older work. and to the people saying she isnt using her voice. WTF??? she's using it waaay more than she did on E=MC2. and remember music box and daydream??? those albums were sung in her lower register and basically had no good whistles! music box was so monotone and boring for me so whatever... i think her voice sounds great. i think the only song that im not really feeling is 'The Impossible'. Up Out My Face has to be the next single!!! that is my shit!!! and Inseperable suprised me. her vocals are really on point and i love the random whistle. lol. Angels Cry is also a fav; i love the lyrices and her voice is really good on it. Standing O could also be a good single cuz its very catchy! I also love Its a Wrap. the vocals are great. Oh and i like Candy Bling. its a very throwback record that reminds me of Underneath the Stars or even Close my eyes(not lyrically). I really do feel like this is Butterfly Part 2. Ribbon is growing on me but i dont thinks its single material at all... my single choices are:
1. OBSESSED WW
2. ANGELS CRY USA ONLY/ IWTKWLI WW
3. UP OUT MY FACE USA/ STANDING O WW
4.**RE-RELEASE W/ TIMBALAND TRACK AS SINGLE
5. H.A.T.E.U
6. IDK???

@ Jesse

The following is not an attack lol:

Yeah the album lacks uptempos but when you think about it, what's the point of having uptempos when you can't dance ;). I love Mariah and while her dance routines in the Heartbreaker and Honey vids are cute... they're not very good. On this album Mariah is doing exactly what she does best: writing amazing lyrics, addicitng melodies, and stellar vocals. I would take these type of songs any day over a lackluster uptempo. This album is about memories and songs with depth. Hence the title MOIA. Its not meant to be a shake your butt in the club record.

So while the album is lacking your uptempos lol it has a creative aspect that Mariah's albums have been missing since Butterfly. I hope you listen to it again. Maybe it will grow on you =D

The only song I do not like on this album is "The Impossible". It puts me to sleep xD The rest are AMAZING. My favs are "Its a Wrap", "Ribbon" and "Candy Bling", which oddly enough does remind me of "Underneath the Stars."

This album deserves to be recognized as a classic. Its refreshing to hear Mariah play around with her vocals. She hasn't done this in years.

oh come on, like you dont know "The Impossible" is for those special occasions! haha. All I can say is Nick Cannon is one lucky son of a bitch lmao

HOOKED on "Inseparable"! the fuck is going on here?!!

"Betcha" is worth the whole Memoirs! She placed all bets on this, definitely award worthy. She went places with this. Now this is a song i see Hype Williams directing a video for!!!!!!! If she was edgy enough she'd "kill it" in a video ;)

just wanted to say that im writing this while listening to betcha..

i listen to it like from 9am brunei time til now..

yea i live so far from the US i support obsessed by streaming the video..if its any help.. :-D

again @me..i freakin love love love LOVE LOVE LOVE betcha even if they don't release it as a single..just really appreciated that mariah wrote/sing betch..amazing song n amazing woman..

Whitney Sounds Like Shes STILL On Crack

Sorry That Mariah Actually Preserved Her Voice And Respected The Gift God Gave Her To The Best Of Her Ability.

Maybe Youd Show Mariah More Respect If She Recorded This Album With A Crack Pipe Hanging Out Of Her Mouth

SMH.

i chose angel cry because i was trying to figure out what kind of song she could write with that title and i heard the song and it is her best hands down,but i also want to hear hate u because i heard the dreams version and i heard hers was alittle different .

I Think that for the next singles Angels Cry and Ribbon r Bad choices.

standing o should def be the 3rd single, up outta my face should be the 4th single, bethca gon know should be 5th single, and ribbon should be 6th. Then they need to re-release and have that timbaland record lead off. CANT WAIT TILL 2MRW ! GETTIN IT B4 I GO TO CLASS.

I have heard the CD in its entirety a couple of times now, well it has been on constant replay since I got it two nights ago. And I must say that at first listen, you get a sense of "Butterfly" and also an empty feeling that it's missing something. Now, after listening to it a couple of times (probably over a dozen) I AM IN LOVE WITH IT.
Each song has that unique sound that "The Roof" had that always made me, as a huge fan, listen to it over and over again. The emotions are raw, she doesn't have to belt out every note to make it believable and that's what truly makes it good.
Each song makes you want to listen to it again and listen to the next song.
I can honestly say that this is Mariah in the 90's. Not that she was bad afterwards, but I personally like E=MC2 more than Emancipation of Mimi.

Best bets: Candy Bling, It's a Wrap (such an amazing voice, her age and strain in her voice just makes it so much better), The Impossible, Angels Cry, of course Languishing like Outside and Looking In, and Standing O.

Thank you Mariah, for giving us an album that has no filler (a.k.a: Lovin' U Long Time and To The Floor).

Grade: A+ (after a couple of listens, "I can't wait to H.A.T.E.U. make you pain like..." WOW WOW WOW

that's all I gotta say! WOW!

Next singles should be (and mind you us fans are right, remember Migrate wasn't released and instead it was the at-best mediocre Lovin' U Long Time), next singles should be: Angels Cry, Standing O, H.A.T.E.U., and Candy Bling (I'm in love with Candy Bling!)

Now what when wrong with Mariah Daily.com recently ?Ive trying to get through this site but something to do with tweet pop up..Tweet is so boring to me and please MD staff can keep posting story of MC this way?? No tweeting link or whatever.

thanks

Angels Cry... a classic song

Finally the site is running!

Ok, in case you guys don't know, Amazon.com is already offering Mariah's CD since midnight. They are selling it for $5.99!
I'm not sure if it's an error, or if they're just trying to compete with iTunes. But they released it a day early, and for half the price.

I checked it last night, and noticed that the album was available for download.
I couldn't help myself, and I cancelled my iTunes preorder... and got my album from amazon.

So if you want to get the album a day early, and for half the price, then head over to Amazon asap (in case its an error).

Hey ppl! Can-t believe MD went down at such crucial times! but glad its back up. I've been listening to MOAIA nonstop, I'll try and give it a track by track review now that it's all sunk in.

@HollywoodLeo. Its not a mistake, but it is just a one day thing and available for the digital release only. Too bad digital releases are only available for US costumers :(

OMG! I was literally having a breakdown coz I can't access this site since last week. I feel lost and uninspired. Today, maybe I'm kinda late ,to my surprise this site is up and going. Thank god and thank you webmaster, owner, and the entire mariahdaily journal staff for having this 'a must mariah site'. What a relief. Ahhhh... I feel energetic and so high spirited. Thank you once again.

FANS, PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BUY THIS ALBUM THIS WEEK! THIS WOMAN HAS WORKED SO HARD ON THIS ALBUM. LET'S SHOW HER HOW MUCH WE CARE BY MAKING THIS THE BIGGEST OPENING WEEK OF HER SOON TO BE 20 YEAR CAREER!!!!!!

After hearing the songs of MC's latest album...I felt awkward...the theme seems to be dark and focused more on anger...if you will play the songs continuously from her prev album E=MC2 to MOAIA, you'll be shocked with the transition from the prev's outro I Wish You Well to the intro of the current, Betcha Gon' Know...
Ever since MC's migration to Island Def she's been including gospel songs on her albums, My Saving Grace, Fly Like A Bird and I Wish You Well...of course these are not expected hits but I know there are fans who are anticipating her gospel releases, since she has been so open about her faith to the public...
i was expecting one on this recent release, but surprisingly, she failed to include even one song that would just have the slightest gospel inflection...Carey's pastor died...but does that mean her faith to God died too..I hope not...and I heard she dedicated the album to her pastor...i don't think he's a rapper to appreciate...
I hope Carey would still acknowledge God in every way, just like what she's been doing before, cause it's rare for someone in a sinful industry to do that...obviously she's always been blessed...but I just don't know now...

Also, this may sound far-out, i hated the fact that she didn't even include a JD colab.

I already have the MOIA album..and im so happy to hear Standing O , UP out my face and its a wrap..

i also have MIMI's IWTKWLS video on ITOUCH..

PLEASE KEEP ON SUPPORTING OBSESSED / IWTKWLS ..

at

She sure has a gospel song on this album as well. She most of the time closes her albums with a gospel tune and MOAIA is no exception: her cover of "I wanna know what love is" is spinned into a gospel version. Geesh! Do you even know what gospel is? Either you didn't listen to the album or you are unaware of gospel music. FYI, I wanna know what love is is the gospel track of the album. Didn't you see her on Oprah where she performed it LIVE with A CHURCH CHOIR! The choir is like one of the basic themes on gospel music.

Oh, and her faith in God has not died. OF COURSE.

i'll already have the album... OMG.. i LOVE it.. its so cool.. not over the edge.. very relaxing... the melody was perfect.. great.. great.. great... ur the best ANGEL MIMI..

I'm from the UK. The album was meant to be released this week but for some reason the date has been changed to the 16th of November ;( Probably to relate to her promotional schedule but i was so excited. I've just saw that MOAIA has cracked the top 10 on Itunes :)

I like Mariah and all, and I love her music but she comes off as a very obnoxious person in her interviews. A lot people says she's not this Diva people claim her to be, but I can see the Diva within her. I'm trying to look past it, because I don't want it to ruin my relations with her music. Is there anyone out there that understands where I'm coming from?

Also, what happened to the website? Was down for days. Was I the only one experiencing this?

mariah on the today show....curly hair was fun for a moment but she looks best like this...younger and thinner..in my opinion

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYelP95omRU

My workamate just text me that someone is coming from USA and guess what?She bought MC for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!yeappie,,yeappie,,just cant wait..Lot of love from Fiji Island...

amazing album, better than e=mc2 i think, wow mariah outdid herself
this album is really amazing! its Mature, fun and has sings for the old mc fans and young ones!
4.5 stars!
and hey lambs did u notice that Rolling stones gave the album 3 1/2 stars? the highest of all mc albums they have rated?

The ratings for this album varies from one critic to another but getting 3.5 from rolling stone is 'dope'.I do care about what others have to say but as fan and music lover MOAIA shows how creative and diversified Mariah is. Loving this album and all of the songs.

I'm really happy with the critical reception of some of the people reviewing the album but as 'Shidan' said: this just shows how creative she is and how talented she is as a vocalist, songwriter AND producer. You can't based your opinion upon someone who is employed and paid to be critical. You should decided yourselves, so buy the album.

By the way, remember that Whitney Houston fan who kept coming on this fansite to try and make us buy the album ;/ well all his gloating of how successful she'll be and this is her year. Well 4 weeks in and now ILTY is at #51 on US itunes. I've mentioned this about 5 times now, nowadays there's hardly any HUGE week sales so an artist needs to produce work that has longevity.

Look at Beyonce for example. IASF came out in 2008 and it's late 2009 now. A year later she is still promoting the album, releasing new singles etc. Her album has longevity through the material on the album and of course who she is. Mariah's IMO has potential to be a worldwide hit and one of the biggest selling albums of 2009, if not 2010 since the music industry is bound to decline even more next year with amateur artists making it on to the scene.

How is it that some of you fools are saying the Timbaland song should be a single on the album's re-release? Have you even heard the damn song??? And what re-release are you talking about??? Damn, you people live in a fantasy world.

--ROB sweetheart im far from a fool so you need to get it right. but we want this album to have longevity so thats why were thinking re-release 'fool'. the timbo track is called 'skydiving' and is on some mixtape coming next week. so it should be leaking very soon! how much do yall think MC will sell the 1st week? im thinking 350k-400k hopefully. give me some feed back on that!..*

UP out my face, it's a wrap and Standing O are my favo ones... Mariah rocks.. love u

I've heard almost all the song from internet..(thought as i big fans of MC, i will buy the original CD for sure).
My fav : def Angel Cry...nice melody...catchy...cant get out of my head..Also love It's a Wrap...
The whole song is totally different with EoM or MC2...the album is more relaxing (interesting people said that MC never had this kind of album..while for me, i think the Charmbrecelet is also a relaxing album..with showing her high notes too often...).
But this album far better that Cham...
Still not the same with Butterfly which i think the song is more variative...The song is MoIA almost the same..maybe cos the producer is all the same..so..very difficult to differenciate among songs..unless we listen it more and more...
Go...bravo MC..luv u always..

new promo video!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzIc2AUIkqs

Im telling y'all right now that Betcha gon know, standing o, ribbon, and hate u are THE SHYT!! I could see Betcha gon know def bein a #1 single with a HOT/dramatic video. Ribbon i think would be a great #1 for the summer.

The song Mariah did with Timbaland. Skydiving

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HhYHUDlSU4

Its HORRENDOUSSS!!! So glad it didnt make it to the album.

Oh no!!!! Paramore can not out sell Mariah. C'mon Lambs spread the word. 170,000 is too low for our Mimi.

Anyone notice how both Obsessed and IWTKWLI went missing off the US Itunes Top Songs chart last night, only to reappear earlier this morning but with Obsessed at #80 and IWTKWLI somewhere in #90s ???

IDK what happened but its clear that something took place last night b/c no song falls from #16, to off the chart completely, then to #80, and then rise back up to #50 in a matter of hours like Obsessed did =(

160 to 180k?
Oh hell no!
wow thats a great fall from The 450k E=MC2 did!
wow i hope that after her promo stops at The View and the Today Show
the sales go up!

oh heck no Paramore? lambs whats giong on Itll b a big shame if were not no1 our girl made 1 of the best albums ever common now make it happen coz u know all the whitney fans r buying paramore or even barbs in bulk to shame us dont let it happen

iTUNES DELETED THE OBSESSED SINGLE SO PPL COULD BUY THE ALBUM VERSION. ITS OK. ITS AT #48 NOW WITH IWTKWLI AT #69. AND WHAT THE FUCK!!!!???? WE CANNOT LET THIS ALBUM DEBUT WITH THOSE LOW NUMBERS!!!! IM TRYING NOT TO PANIC B/C SHE HAS A LOT OF UPCOMING WEEKEND PROMO! WE CANT LET PARAWHO?? TAKE THE TOP SPOT!! IDJ BETTER GET THEY SHIT TOGETHER FAST WITH THE REST OF THIS PROMO. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM? UGHHH!!!

OBSESSED IS BACK IN THE TOP 10 !!! ITS AT #9 CURRENTLY :)

And y'll need to relax about the album numbers lol
thats just a day's worth of sales...it'll pick up over the weekend when ppl get paid and with the promo.

So far I only managed to get the album on Amazon and iTunes but this weekend I plan on getting a few more copies just haven't gotten the time. Is anyone else getting any more copies of the album for friends or for collection? I seriously think that Mariah could make up for far more numbers this weekend especially with all the positive reviews well with exception of those from the ballad freaks and whitney/madonna stans. I'm guessing she'll hit 240k by next week. It probably wont have a gigantic E=MC2 impact but it'll end up on top and probably grow to stay on top for several weeks by word of mouth sales.

@YAY

No those aren't just a days worth of sales LOL. Those are first week sales predictions based on first day sales.

Which means depending on what mariah sold yesterday they predict she's only going to sell 160-170,000 for the WHOLE week. But its only a prediction.
Just to clear that up ;)

Skydiving sounds mediocre, no wonder why Mariah wasn't too excited about it when it was brought up on an interview. It actually kind of sucks! I really don't get how Timberland would make such a mediocre track for Mariah. It really feels like some of these producers don't want her to have an ultimate hit.

I mean come on, I've been a fan of Tims since WAY before most people even knew who he was. When he was producing Aaliyah's sophomore studio album like in 96'. He's always unique, and he has always taken his client's career to the next level----Aaliyah, Missy Eliot, Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, and so on. And this is what he does for Mariah!?!

I feel the same way about "Heat." Will.i.am produces constant hits, just look at how well he, and the BEPs did this summer. Not to mention what he did for Fergie's solo career. Then he goes, and makes the most underproduced mediocre track for Mariah. Makes no sense!

I almost feel that way about Kanye... I LOVE "Stay the night"! Though mostly for Mariah's vocals. Once again, I love the song, but I feel like he could've done SO much more. Look at the hit he made for Keri Hilson, not to mention the hot tracks he did for Madonna's "Hard Candy" album.

These producers need to stop hating on Mariah... Enough of them making mediocre tracks to keep her from becoming "too" successful. Puff Daddy (I don't call him P.Diddy) was smart about making GOOD tracks for Mariah. To this day "Fantasy," and "Honey" are some of Mariah's biggest hits. Puff Daddy is probably STILL getting paid for those. But these new arrogant producers don't see it that way...

Just goes to show... Mariah has always preferred working with the underdog/new comer. They tend to be more eager...
On that note, I'm actually happy with the work that The Dream did on Memoirs. I was extremely disappointed when I first heard that he would produce Mariah's ENTIRE album. Now, I'm loving the results!
My respect for The Dream's producing skills has definitely increased!
I love almost every track, and the album couldn't be more cohesive.
Good job Dream!

Im shocked to find out MiMi is doin so low with sales this couple of days?! wad uP? geez where all her lambs? I was sure hoping she would sell more than 463K more than E=MC2 as Memoirs is much better and brilliant! get out and get MEMOIRS PPL! dont let MIMI down

HollywoodLeo,

I know what u mean. IMO Skydiving isn't just mediocre, its awful. Mariah's vocals sound all over the place. Its a whispery mess. I'm so glad Mariah was smart enough not to put that on her CLASSIC album.

Timbaland could've done sooo much better than that crap.

well call me a crackhead but i'm really digging Skydiving.. I think must of you are just hungover on Memoirs' feel. Then again i also played out Heat when I got it so, hahaha. It obviously doesn't belong on Memoirs hence why it didn't make it there. I agree with HL though, they're not what I would've expected from Timbo nor will.i.am given what they've done for other artists. Just like most of Mariah's work, Aaliyah's pairing with Timbaland was so ahead of its time it still sounds fresh to this day. She'll always be my other angel......

@Memoirsss
Better do research first b4 u start posting staggering comments...recheck my post I didn't say GOSPEL-TINGED or GOSPEL INSPIRED...i said GOSPEL SONG...I think ur not the one who knows what GOSPEL is...u better GOOGLE it or check WIKI first, AND SEE FOR URSELF...adding a church choir to back u up in a song doesn't mean ur already doing a gospel (GOD spell) song...sorry but I didn't see/HEAR anything from the song which actually shows references to GOD/Jesus. Contrary to her prev Island def GOSPEL tracks which really cited GOSPEL verses...even mentioned Jesus...IWTKWLI clearly is not GOSPEL, it maybe inspired, but not close...And by the way, I'm talking about her expression of faith here...that's the main idea...it's not about the STYLE/genre of the song...she no longer included a song here w/c talks about her beliefs...I don't think IWTKWLI talks anything about faith...
BTW, i think everyone did see her Oprah performance...
I'm not a hater, in fact I do like her...that's why I'm here...
Let's just say...I'm one of her discouraged fans...
Looking forward to her next album though ...

wait where r mariahs fans? is this how we deserting her now? whitneys must be jumping 4 joy especially to be outsoled by Paramore cummon people seriously shame on us nick bought 10 copies

the miscarrage rumours r back u guys what if its true remember last year @ the amercian music awards and remember recently she seemed down abit it makes sense she would not tell us such bad news and MOAIA is out and lambs r no where to b found poor Mariah how can we desert her like this????tell me please coz i wanna know

Retail outlets like Target etc. don’t usually diclose their sales figure to inquiries except for the record company that produced the albums. Its a policy! So I guess these projections usually are based on digital outlets that can be accessed anytime on the web. Sooo she's probably selling waaaay more in retail (hopefully)

cmon people...go get that album!!!! we can't let our girl down!
People told me they dont have it because they don't have money, but on friday, i think sales will go up cuz people Get their checks! cmon, Paramore's album was $3.99 and Mariah's was $5.99. People just got the cheaper choice!
Cmon, ppl! Get Mariah's CD, and also dont forget! IWKWLI!!! request!!!! download!!!!

Timbaland featuring song "skydiving" leaked on internet. I think its good. Why it didn't put in album for bonus track ?

skydiving made very good !

my songs on album

1- hate u
2- inseperable
3-angels cry
4- upon my face boy

Just found the MOAIA Promo Video on youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzIc2AUIkqs

wow she does look so good for her age when she goes for the more natural look. i have a feeling there's so much more better shots of her than the ones that made it as the promo pics. such a knockout when she's not smiling too. don't get me wrong, i know she's in a happy place and all, but she looks so much more hotter when she's not trying too hard or not pulling that huge wide smile. sometimes when you watch her you get these glimpses of her being too self conscious of how she looks on camera. and was she recreating the 'Honey' shoot too?! Her look for the perfume ad was just odd......

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkJ3P2uSS2c watch, rate comment LAMBS

So Obsessed is back on the top 10, that's great!! But it means that we need to keep supporting it. It was only on third place on Yahoo. It should be number one. So let's keep streaming, and supporting this song. At least till the IWTKWLI video goes out.

I think the only thing lacking at this point is sales... The airplay is doing pretty well, but if we would all buy the song song in one week, it could probably shoot to number one. It would be a challenge to get that organized though.

It sounds like Mariah is planning on doing a rerelease...

Hey Cachimi, wow i thought the very same thing about an eventual video for Betcha that it should be done comic style, like that Sin City movie. It would fit very well with its somber atmosphere. Its amazing how i can picture every scene when I listen to this song. I have the perfect ending for this too. I personally think there should be like a mini movie made to support this song even if it doesn't become an official single. why aren't more risks being taken? it had started so very well with Obsessed, just look at how that has done. I seriously have no idea, i mean i don't understand what's going on.... This record is too good to go out unnoticed or be labeled unsuccessful. Funny how every single review focus on how "cohesive" the album is but seriously I don't see anything being done to give it that final push. And to top it off the worldwide release is all over the place. I don't even know what the label is doing, I don't even know if they're actually aware of the single they're supposed to be promoting.

--ok so im not that worried about the sales anymore. i know mariah will pull thru; despite of what the haters say. i feel like IWTKWLI will be like obsessed in terms of airplay. its a slow burner. look at leona's single. flopping right before our eyes. but anyways i feel like the next singles should be like this now.
3. Standing O [worldwide]
4. H.A.T.E.U [U.S]/ Angels Cry WW
**RE-RELEASE**
5. new song
6. Ribbon [really dont see what all the hype for this song is about but the song is cool; needs to be the last single NOT 3rd]

ok so i gave it some thought, forget the last half of my previous rant. I seriously think this is one of about 4 other great CDs that came out this year. So far i gotta thank Mariah for being one of the ones who saved my 2009 year in music 'cause seriously it's all going down the drain (or i´m just growing up). I'm just gonna enjoy this cause to me it's up there as one of the best records she's done in her entire career. I'll just focus on how great the music is, which is all it should be about.

I hope Mariah will just focus on promoting her new album tomorrow and not talk as much about Precious, marriage, and her fragrance. IMO those topics have over shadowed the release of Memoirs.

btw why hasn't Mariah been on 106th and park this week? She ALWAYS goes on the show the first week of her albums' release. I must say this is the most low-key I've ever seen Mariah during a debut week.

Angel cry is too We Belong Together!!! Boring!!!

Mariah needs to release something refreshing!!! That's Obsessed finally gets to top 10!!!

IWTKWLI is excellent second single; a beautiful gospel-inspired ballad that Mariah pulls off!!

The third single has to be something refreshing, something that shows Mariah has some substance in her artistry. That has to be BETCHA GONNA KNOW!!!

Standing Os is good too but Betcha Gonn Know shows more darkness, and touches people's hearts!

H.A.T.E.U and Ribbon should be saved for final few singles.

Get the best songs out first!!!

Low Register:
G2, A2, Bb2, C3, Eb3 & E3

My review of Mariah's MOAIA: 4.5/5 stars
It's like being invited to a music party held in Heaven. Mariah's certainly shown more substance in tracks like Betcha Gonna Know, Standing Os, It's A Wrap. The overall feeling of listening is just purely bliss. The old school and contemporary vocal arrangement in It's A Wrap simply make Alicia Keys sound like an amateur. This has to be a better album than Emancipation of Mimi.

I think the next singles should be:

3. Up Out My Face- a dependable, radio rebound if IWTKWLI doesn't catch on
4. H.A.T.E.U- its already doing pretty well on its own on the digital charts
5. Angels Cry-same as above
6. Standing O- will get both the younger and bandwagon crowd re-interested
AND as a treat for her fans maybe a vid for Betcha or Candy Bling idk lol
Maybe all of this is just wishful thinking =)

PLS SUPPORT OBSESSED!!!

Play the song in Yahoo Music!!! Stream it!!! Request it!!! Burn the single at top of charts!!!

I don't like the tracklisting, with the reprises and interlude as the fillers just to make it to 17.

For me, I would rather rearrange the tracks so that it fits more cohesively as an album and take out some tracks to "enrich" it.

1. Betcha Gon Know
2. Standing Os
3. Obsessed
4. Up Out My Face
5. It's A Wrap
6. Ribbon
7. H.A.T.E.U
8. Inseparable
9. Candy Bling
10. More Than Just Friends
11. Angel Prelude
12. Angels cry
13. I Want To Know What Love Is

The cover art is so cheesy and the packaging sucks! I was expecting it to be plastic casing, but it turns out to be hard paper!

I would rather burn a CD with my own tracklisting - cost me nothing but a blank CD.

I'm a big fan of Mariah but clearly this album is not something I would pick up without hesitation!

@ mimi .. no one cares

god, please forgive me, what's wrong with me, i think i start liking "the impossible", LOVE YOU LIKE MILK SHAKE , LOL, AND SING ALONG "LAYING IN THE BED PUMPING JODECI', FOREVER YOUR LADY", OMG, IM SO CRAZY IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG.
HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT,
THIS MUST TO BE HER NEXT SINGLE.

I LOVE YOU, IL OVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, YOU LOVE ME, YOU LOVE ME, YOU LOVE ME, YOU LOVE ME, '. THE IMPOSSIBLLE
SO CUTE

Her TODAY show concert was great! Loved it!

MOAIA is just amazing. I am listening it to now and it is currently on repeat with Standing O on. I think that is one of my favourite tracks. But i LOVE Ribbon. That is just a concoction of talent :) One of her best albums, ever. Along with Daydream, Butterfly, EOM, Emotions etc. I love all her work but this is just genius.

This should be #1. If Paramore get to number one, that's just evidence of how the music industry has changed because 10 years ago, they wouldn't have a chance against Mariah. But because of Twilight and everything like that, all the teenagers are buying Paramore and that genre of music. Although i don't mind Paramore on the odd occasion :) Haha.

Her concert at Today was, to be honest, a little rough in some parts. I know it is 8 in the morning and she said she needs a lot of sleep, but some of the notes were really off. Sorry if others disagree. But the high note in IWTKWLI was just amazing. That's it for now :)

@ hey .. yeah i agree some parts were a little ruff but in her defense she shouted "ITS EARLYYYY!!" lmao..it was still amazing though

it was also funny when they took her coat and asked where to put it and she was like "just throw it on the floor i dont care"

BTW did anybody catch the h.a.t.e.u performance??? because i missed it :[

Why isn't M.O.A.I.A. selling? I mean I thought it would be up there with the numbers of T.E.O.M. and E=MC^2. I call it lack of promotions from IDJ, and sadly Mariah not during enough performances/appearances. Paramore? Come on na...

@ Super Mimi, don't knock "Angels Cry" it's the best song on the album. I really don't care if does sounds/resembles "We Belong Together", I love it. It's definitely a potential single in the future.

@ Super Mimi where have you been? obsessed has been in the top 10 for 3 weeks now... and why does every ballad with a beat have to copy off of WBT. Angels Cry sounds nothing like that song. some off yall just need to STFU really. lol

i was at the today show and trust me seeing Mariah on tv is wayy diferent than live! mariah was amazing, and is beautiful in person!

I think the performance on The View was even better than the one on The Today Show and Oprah. She seems to be more comfortable on stage than she was last year and her voice is regaining its strength.

Anyone know how she's doing on US itunes?

**iTUNES UPDATE**

OBSESSED #11 :0

IWTKWLI #38-40 :)

all of the best:)
Mariah Carey is the best:)

I Love Angels cry:)

I have MOAIA on repeat. I have done since i got the album ;] It's amazing.
One of her best albums, in my opinion. She knows how to keep re-inventing himself. People have been saying, how is she getting such low sales? Well look only big comebacks are selling high. Eminem 600K in first week and Whitney 305K in one week. The music industry is declining so i'm not surprised at the low figures. And Paramore should have no chances against her but the fact that mainly people of a younger generation are downloading Paramore.

My favourite 5 tracks on the album are:
1 - Standing O
2 - Ribbon
3 - Betcha Gon' Know
4 - Languishing (Interlude)
5 - Angels Cry

I love Obsessed and IWTKWLI but i didn't include them since they're singles. I was just putting the un-released tracks in my 'Top 5' :)

Can't believe i said 're-inventing himself' Haha. I meant herself, obviously :)

i caught the HATEU performance and it was my favorite! She was perfect! I loved the squeal and how they ended the song. I loved how i could hear her angelic voice so much better than on the album (though that's true about every song she sang) I liked her outfit. I like the comment about what can't put them back together again in the Up Out My Face song. I love the Obsessed song. Angels Cry and I Want To Know What Love Is are pretty songs. I love how she squeals with no warning in the Impossible. I love how in Languishing in the bg she's squealing the whole time. It's pure bliss.

i walked in to the music store at the mall and all the mariah cd's were nearly gone and it was in the #1 slot..and there were tons of paramore so i dont get the low projections. Must be way off or they must only be counting digital sales

ITUNES UPDATE: as of 9:33 PM EST

M.O.A.I.A : #4
Obsessed: #9
I.W.K.W.L.I: #53

not sure about I.W.K.W.L.I .... maybe it needs more time to catch on

Whisper "Whispery" Register is harder than belting and hitting whistle notes. Although it's a dangerous technique that can easier wore off your voice but if you take care of your voice properly, it's alright. NO vocal-coach will teach you this register because it's extremely dangerous to your voice. Beside mariah carey, I do not know anyone in the music industry who uses this register. It's a register that mariah has mastered it. It requires high concentration and immense technique on breathing. Listen to "Butterfly, Outside". These 2 songs show the whisper register clearly. Whisper register is always mix up with fake voice or falsetto register. Just because it sounded high does not means its whisper register. Whisper register make air go through your throat more than expected which will damage your vocal chord faster. This may be one of the reason why mariah's voice become weak. After several years of using this register is really dangerous. Some vocal-coach even recognise it as a wrong technique, however, it's actually a technique proven by mariah that can be so soothing and beautiful and also about to take care of it. Whitney houston and Celine Dion does not use this register also. Going from whisper register to full-belting register need skills that are very good. Only Mariah is able to master it. It's like going from belting to whistle register in seconds and thru and fore. Belting a note for 8 seconds, 10 seconds, 12 seconds is very easy and nothing much impressive about. Belting for 18seconds like in lead the way is then impressive. Belting is easy compare to whisper register and low register. It's always easier to go high then go low.

Mariah Carey has shown the world of all kind of voice that a human can produce in a beautiful way:

Whistle register/ Super head voice register
Head voice register/ Falsetto
Belting register/ Upper chest register
Middle-belt register
Low voice register
Whisper register

Mariah Carey has truely shown most of her voice, the texture, the colour, the range, the power, the emotions. She has done all these. Mariah Carey shows melisma a lot. She has used her voice as an instrument.

I don't understand why you people keep on complain her voice is weak. She has nodules. She can't afford to take out cause it's a risk that she might not be able to sing or hit her whistle registers again. She sing for over 20 years and still going strong. Some people really judge her like a god.

A few reason why her voice wore out so fast:
1) Drinking and maybe smoking
2) Over-use of whistle register
3) Whisper register
4) Nodules

She takes the risk to use all these to make music to the best of it. She shown the voice most of her voice. Not only this, she also writes 95% of all her songs! She also produces them! She does not get enough credits for all these! The day when people give credits to her is when the day she die. It's sad but it's true. She still has the voice but not as strong as before. As in the E! interview in 2005. She goes to a doctor and the doctor told her that she cannot sing live today, tomorrow. Must rest and it's not her fault for not able to sing live. If she keeps on sing live with her nodules not recovering, her voice will just shatter like a piece of glass in less than a year. Her voice is a treasure and it's unbelieveable that she still can sing after 20 years with her nodules. Whitney, Celine all have its nodules been operate off. People should give mariah another chance. Mariah is a great artist. Mariah Carey to me is the only artist I know that really know what music is. She just not only make music. When you hear her song, she's in the music, she's part of it. Mariah Carey has never fail to make me smile, laugh, cry etc. Just give her a break! She's been working so hard to do what she's best in!

In addition, she done alot of genres of songs:
Pop: Without you, hero
Latin pop: My all/My all remix
Motown: You and I (Live cover)
R&B: We belong together, bye bye

Continued...

Jazz/soul: If it's over
Country: Right to dream
Rap: Prisoner
Dance-pop/R&B: Emotions, some remixes
Rock: Bringin' on the heartbreak
Hip-hop: Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica)
Gospel - Fly like a bird, I wish you well

Then some people will say she is so limited, she only does pop and r&b as usual. She has done more than enough but she's more comfortable in the pop/r&b type music of course. She's proven enough. Just give her a break. She is a national treasure in terms as a vocalist, songwriter etc. She is going to be a legend or already a legend. Some people really recognise her success as nothing. She has done more than enough in life. So, just leave her alone.

I GOTTA FEELING IS STILL TOPPING THE CHART!! ONLY THE RETARDED WOULD KEEP IT AT #1!

The official Celine Dion Deppreciation http://vanityedge.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=1279

even as a lamb i know céline is very talented, beautiful and nice to her fans. what's not to like?

LEAVE MARIAH ALOOOOOOONE!!

i like memoir very much.. up out my face makes me smile.. i hope mariah will make the impossible for single.. and the video will be romantic like my all video...

i enjoy memoir so much.. the melody.. the music.. God bless u mariah.. thanks from all ur real fans..

do somebody know were maria's album is gonna debut at billboard !!!!! please ????? any news about that ????

@dimitrismonas, I definitely see M.O.A.I.A. in the top 3. My guest is #2, hate to say but Paramore looks to take the top spot. Any-who Mariah is known to getting to #1 without debuting at #1, ex. Mariah Carey (the Debut CD).

Didn't I tell you guys "Obsessed" would rise on the charts as soon as the album drops? (I know these things) Look how it's doing after all this time, good choice as first single.

thanks irocs! how do you know that ? this is for sure ??? you visit any site ??? can you tell me please ? thanks again !!!

Ok, gotta get this out there...

First, how is it that I Gotta Feeling is still on top when the song already fell on every radio format and sales are doing the same thing? I mean it's bad enough it has matched WBT has the longest running single this decade... in fact, their hit is consecutive while mariah's is non-consecutive... jay sean should be on top spot already as it is number 1 rhythmic and higher than IGF on Top 40, same thing on iTunes... while i'm not tripping so much on the 14 week decade record it'd be nice for mariah to keep it even as a non-consecutive #1. Now, i'd be really really really mad if it broke OSD's record so things better change by next week!! why aren't they suffering from overexposure? what is wrong with american radio?

Other thing bothering me is how ironic it is that Paramore is getting more buzz for supposedly beating Mariah on the sales race while their single isn't even selling that much. It was in the 50's region last time I checked. On the other hand, Obsessed is back at #8 on iTunes two months after its release. I just hope MOAIA maintains its momentum and the second week sales drop is not too big. I mean, at least its being voted 4.5 stars on Itunes after almost 2000 votes. That's gotta mean something good right?

also, I don't know how it's being described as a close race to #1 if Paramore has two editions of the same album on the Top 10, shouldn't they be selling a little less than double the amount as MOAIA as it is selling as a standard edition only? Same for Barbara Streisand. Why is it that projections for Breaking Benjamin are so low despite them being at #1 this whole week at least on Itunes? Does the monday MOAIA pre-release on Amazon count towards the final tallies for this week's debut? Too many questions, so little answers and the only one being panned outside the fanbase is my MC with her amazing record :@

... of course getting panned by the people who "like her" but only seem to "like her" if she's selling 1 million copies in its first week, calling it a flop otherwise. At least all reviews have been great for her standards. Only some magazine who gave it 1 star, God knows what they were smoking when they put some other CD on when they did the review..

People seriously need to buy this album!!!

I can't imagine Mariah would debut #2 with this excellent work!

And I GOTTA FEELING?? WTF, what's happening in US? Why's it still topping the chart??? IF IT IS GOING TO SURPASS ONE SWEET DAY, I WOULD BE SO PISSED OFF!!!

Obsessed is #7 on itunes now !!

ATTENTION LAMBS! the black eyed peas's"i gotta feeling" WILL surpass 'one sweet day' if we don't do anything to stop it. our only hope is making jay sean #1. mariah MUST NOT lose her title. she already lost 2 titles so far!!! she cant lose the 16-wk #1 title either@ she is THE. MARIAH CAREY. BLACK EYED PEAS CANT SURPASS NOR MATCH HER AGAIN .. DOWNLOAD JAY SEANS "DOWN" PLEEEEASE

okay im done ranting now but yea if you don't mind wasting 1.29 on itunes....buy that 'down' single. OR miley cyrus's song. either one would help. =]

--ok yall need to chill out. BEP will fall to #3 next week because their airplay plumeted and downloads fell a lot. THEY ARE NOT PASSING OSD SO CALM DOWN. i swear yall over react alot... now what i cant wait for is the album's 1st week sales!

Our job as Lambs is not to "defend" Mariah's records or start anti- BEP download campaigns. Its simply to help her break NEW records, and achieve milestones in her career.

Please don't start anything between Mariah's lambs and BEP fans. Us lambs already have enough haters and as of right now WE ALONE can't even score her a number one album. Thus, we need BEP fans and everyone else to help support Mariah so that she can continue to have #1 singles and much success :)

Lmao at you all and ur anti-black eyed peas download campaign. I agree with --honey* and Tyler. You guys need to chill or u'll go crazy.

Also, by giving another artist a #1 single to knock BEP, your actually making it harder for Mariah to be the artist w/ the most #1 singles this decade. The most any artist has this decade is 5 #1's. Mariah has 3. Continue to support "Obsessed" and "IWTKWLI" and not worry so much about B.E.P.'s.

We have MUCH BIGGER things to worry about like making Memoirs a success.

umm yeah... my post was not meant to be taken as anti-BEP campaign. i was just stating my confusion as to how the twat was that song still at number 1 when it's not number 1 anywhere else anymore.

and i agree, if ur gonna spend money on buying a certain song to go to number 1, which i'm not encouraging to do either, might as well be Obsessed. don't be a fool lmao!

besides, even if i gotta feeling spent 50 weeks at #1, that wouldn't make it even half as good as one sweet day

if only miley cyrus's party in the us had massive airplay, this song actually can peak at no 1 on billboard hot 100 since 5 weeks ago, and if that happen i gotta feeling even couldnt made 14 weeks at no1. the main problem is "party in the us had mediocore airplay not massive like bep and jay sean.
well, lambs you should request jaysean song on radio or spend your money download his song on itunes and amazon, i know it may sound ridiculous, but that's for our mimi

@dimitrismonas, I really don't know how Mariah will fare on the charts. This is simply my opinion on how things are playing out. To all the other fans wondering why BEP's IGAF is still #1, I believe everybody has their moment. WBT did what it did, because that was Mariah time (that's how I look at things). I'm pretty sure Mariah will score/set new records (Don't Worry).

Even if they surpass Mariah they are a group, and Mariah is a solo artist so it doesn't matter what records they set. She will still be #1 for being the top solo artist, and the top female artist.

ok irocs !!! really i can't wait to see mariah at the top !!!

we are not in top 10 at "www.ratethemusic.com " top 40 survey still.

lets sign up again & again ...

Where are we currently standing now on Billboard 200? Please let me know

any news guys ??? what it's gonna be ?????? 1?? 2??{i hope not} or 3{i hppe not}

Still dont understand what this mean? MEMOIRS BUILDING ALBUM SALES CHART

whether we sitting at no# 1 or no#2???Nervous if Paramore or Barbara beat MC

this sales charts is for the first 2 days ??? idon't understand !!! you guys do you ???

hi, anyone knows how to download the bonus obsessed video into "memoirs disc"? I've followed the instructions from www.mariahcarey.com/bonus. But i failed to save the video into the disc. Someone here mind to help? thanks in advance

http://www.virginmedia.com/music/reviews/albumreviews/mariahcarey-memoirsofanimperfectangel.php

what's happening with Mimi's album position? i really hope that it's not number 3. I think it got something to do when myspace leaked the whole album itself. :(

MARIAH has answered all our requests about this new album. and she produced another great album. and its really good from start to finish.

Now our duty to MIMI is to support it and make it #1..

I dont even know there's an artist / group called Paramore..and they even existed..

LETS UNITE..Specially LAMBS in the US..

My favorite tracks: It's A Wrap, Betcha Gonna Know, Standing Os, IWTKWLI, Ribbon, Obsessed, Up Out My Face (shld be the third single), HATEU and Candy Bling!

This album has got what I want from Mariah! She's beautiful and legendary!!!

This album definitely surpasses Emancipation of Mimi and has to be #1!!!

LAMBS lets help mariah Break NEW WORLD RECORDS..

OMG LAMBS I got an info that MARIAH'S 3RD SINGLE Will be...H.A.T.E. U.

***************************
MARIAH REVEALS THIRD SINGLE

During her exclusive concert at the P.C. Richard & Son Theater
in Tribeca, Mariah Carey revealed that H.A.T.E.U was her next single.

Mariah also said the remix of the track was one of her all time faves.

MARIAH RESPONDS TO HATERS

In a recent USA Today piece, journalist Alan Light was quoted as saying that you’ve “affiliated [yourself] with urban musicians and that’s a young person’s game. It would be good for her…”

[Interrupts] I heard it. I don’t agree. I heard the quote and he said he preferred that I stand there and sing.

Well, he said it would be good for you “to reestablish herself as a vocalist because that’s her strength.” How do you assess both parts of that comment?

OK, either he likes urban music but he doesn’t like me singing urban music or he’s someone who wants me to stand in the middle of stage and sing ballads. And that’s cool, I’ll do that, but honestly, my fans want to hear a variety of songs. Even back in the day, I was singing…People don’t realize that ‘Dreamlover’ was based on a loop that a lot of rappers have used so that was way back when. I don’t think people realize that it was a pop song [but] underneath it all it was produced by Dave “Jam” Hall, who would mainly work with Mary J. Blige and rappers. It’s always been a love of mine to sing R&B music. But the thing is you can sing a song like ‘The Impossible’ or ‘H.A.T.E. U’ and you don’t have to belt or sing out the whole time. I think ‘I Want to Know What Love Is’ does what he is referring to. Can I say one more thing? If they can’t hear that I’m a vocalist from ‘I Want to Know What Love Is’ then I just don’t know what they want me to do.

MOAIA is #9 on Itunes, that's falling fast, and it's only the first week. The album is also #4 on Amazon which is still holding pretty well in the Top 5 :) I hope she is Number One with this album, it deserves. 90% of critics are labelling this one of her best albums in a long time.
I hope the album does well and where's the video for IWTKWLI because she said she would like it to be finished in time for the release of the album and the album has already been released. What's going on?
HATEU as the next single? Hmm, i thought that two ballads in a row would be a bad choice, i was thinking more along the lines of Ribbon or Standing O and then possibly another ballad. Ballads haven't recently been doing well on the charts.

I think h.a.t.e.u shouldve been the 2nd single, i think MC wanted it to be too. Standing O should be 4th then, betcha gon kno 5th, and then either ribbon or angel's cry

P.S: everybody needs to relax, i cant wait for the actual album sales numbers come out completley, not 35% or whatever, so everybody could shut up! the album is going to sell and be HUGE.

3th single...... Up out my face............ after slow ballad .. this is the best.. like always be my baby after one sweet day... os shake it off after we belong together.. GO MARIAH..

MOAIA was #9 on Itunes.
Now it's #16.

I knew it! I knew there was something like the "Memoirs Remix" album or something like that! There were some hints... The absence of the songs with JD and Timbaland... and "100%" and "Imperfect"... and when Mariah said that they have "a special something planned" for the fans... Then I thought of a MOAIA pat 2 album... :)))

They couldn't have chosen another song 4 3rd single!!! HATEU is already a classic, along with Angels Cry! I really hope the sales increase... and IWTKWLI NEEDS to be #1 =/ C'mon folks!

#3 with 170K first week sales. There was only like 12K in it for the #1 spot. Hopefully she'll promote the album some more and go overseas and promote the album there because i'm pretty sure a lot of people don't even know that she has an album coming out.
I hope that her sales increase or at least stay at a constant but i bet the album will sell about 75K-100K next week, but that's my predictions. She needs to release a single like Obsessed which identifies with the main audience that is purchasing all the albums. Not something like HATEU (which i know is amazing) but still, she needs something like Ribbon or Standing O so it promotes the album to more of the 'youngsters' that are buying the albums these days. Then release HATEU or another ballad.
Although E-MC2 was one of her best albums critically, and i loved it, but still it didn't sell much and people say 'sales' don't count. Well they do, because although recording artists just want to produce music, record companies want the money. So i hope this isn't a commercial failure, it deserves to be a big selling album! Good luck Mariah, i'm going to be behind you, and so are many others :) I just hope mistakes aren't made.

Its not that bad, it could had been worse. To be successful and album does not need to debut a number 1.
As for H.A.T.E U being the next single i think is a good choice, she just has to promote it. I believe that she might release HATE U the remix as a single and not the original version, shes been saying that the remix is amazing and she loves it, so with good promotion this could do well. Plus i would not write off Memoirs just yet, some albums have a slow start, Only time will tell, as long as good singles are released this can turn out good. BTW idk why you people worry about IWKWLI, Is already debuting within the top 30's, and 40's in charts around the world.

There is not 1 hit single on this record aside from Obsessed. There are no more singles on this record that will survive on radio. Its all about upbeat dance songs right now and this entire record is so slow its practically going backwards. H.A.T.E.U. will not do anything at radio. It will completely flop. Scrap it. Its over. Have a baby and take some time off.

H.a.t.e.u as the 3rd single ?? It seems like she doesn't care for I wanna know what love is or something..maybe its geared as a worldwide single and h.a.t.e.u is for the U.S. I love h.a.t.e.u and i think that the remix is going to be released and pushed. It might be upbeat ... who knows but im excited to see whats gonna happen next. She knows what she's doing. We just gotta step back and watch and stop bitching about every little detail.

Hmmmm i was at the tribeca concert and she said that yes hate u is the Next single but she still will be promoting IWKWLI

I don't understand these current totals when billboard has not even announced the final count. Also, billboard states paramore has the no.1 album in the uk not us, so there is still hope for our girl.

She must release "Ribbon"... it's so unique and so Ne-Yo that many listeners will love that tunes. Another consideration would be "Betcha Gon' Know" or "Angels Cry". H.A.T.E.U. is a great track but hello... this is not 90s. Memoirs competes with some other top-by-buzzed artists, clubbin'-tracks something or else. I think "Memoirs.." is her #2 best album. Butterfly still the top. But the Memoirs' tracks are great in tunes, I love them all, all so Mariah's, with minus rap-inserted or anyone featured. With the possibility #3 in Billboard HOT200 (her lowest achievement)and even no #1 tracks so far, she must do something genius and big! Long life Mariah!

Mrs. Cannon... would you please release RIBBON as your 3rd single, not H.A.T.E.U... please... please....(1000times).

I want RIBBON as her next single. it's so different than any other tracks.. guys please vote for RIBBON!

Ribbon is a good song but wayy to repetitive!

I also think Ribbon is not single material. As much as I liked it in the beginning and its catchy hook, it basically doesn't go anywhere for me after the second chorus. In the end Ribbon, is very repetitive like jeffrey said. It wasn't necessary to extend it to 4 minutes, in fact I would've taken a minute from this song and add it to IWTKWLI and give it the very complete and proper ending it deserves. In fact, many of the songs on Memoirs seem to fade out at the wrong moment or just suddenly end: Standing O, More Than Just Friends, The Impossible, IWTKWLI, It's A Wrap, even HATEU and Candy Bling, are songs that leave you wanting more. I find myself turning up the volume so I can catch the rest of the adlibs.

--gratz u must have not been a fan long cus #3 is FAR FROM her lowest achievement on the billboard 200. Charmbracelet opened at #3 and sold 1.2 mill in the long run. I think Standing O should be the 3rd single though. IDJ should have never released IWTKWLI here in the U.S. they should have just released it to the rest of the world and treated H.A.T.E.U as the 2nd single here. They are really starting to piss me off. Mariah is not some average singer damnit! she is basically THE SHIT so they need to get their act together fast! and NOOO ribbon would totally kill this album. i feel like it needs to be one of the last singles if not a single at all. The good thing is that if she releases a remix album; there will be a new remix for every single she releases. THANKS TO ALL THE SO-CALLED 'OLD MARIAH' FANS FOR LETTING IDJ THINK THAT IWTKWLI WOULD WORK ON TODAYS CHARTS! YALL MIGHT HAVE CAUSED THE ANOTHER BAD ERA FOR HER MUSIC CAREER! THANKS A LOT. but anyways... at least she is making a comeback in the film-world!..*

That being said, H.A.T.E.U. I dig as a single, it's so timeless even with its running time you don't want it to end. And the way she sings it is exactly the way it should be done. Now being the third single..., to me it should've been the second, but whatever is done is done. The world deserves a break from disco songs that talk about nothing.

My other single choices would be Betcha, Inseparable and maybe as a last one, More Than Just Friends with Angels Cry as a bonus.

Hey guys :D First of all I just read Supermariah's statement about Mariah responding to the haters and I'm so glad that she said that. Any of mu'fuckas who went and ripped Mariah apart for "not singing" or for "whispering" then telling people to not buy the album need to seriously get off of this page and go burn in hell. Mariah don't need you around her to bring her down when she worked her butt off trying to please everyone. If you guys hate what she's become so much I'm sure there are other singers you can go become a fan of and then rip them apart when they don't meet up to your ridiculous standards.
That said, I'm really ExTaTiC and relieved to hear that H.A.T.E. U is the next single! This is no doubt Mariah's best song on the album many professional reviews pointed to this song as one of the highlights of the album. It reminds me of songs like Bliss, Fourth of July, Lullaby and For The Record (Songs that I always wished were singles) Plus this song already has remixes for it with new vocals. That's the side of Mariah I'm most excited to hear is the club banging dance hit side like the good old days with her and David Morales :D I'm also very excited to hear that Mariah is once again pleasing her fans by coming out with a remix version of MOAIA! Too many great things to look forward to! ^-^

somehow i feel like this album is going to sold only as much as Charmbracelet or E=MC2.

it's a shame since the quality of the songs in this album are way better. i personally think variety is the problem here.

if only she adds more club-banging songs like 'migrate' or even 'it's like that', more 'it's a wrap' or 'i wish you knew', and remove all those reprise and prelude because unless they're as good as 'butterfly reprise' it's just sounds like another filler. she needs a solid album.

there. it would be as huge as TEOM. and sadly i think HATE U is somehow going to flop as well. as the matter of fact, none of other songs in the album are single-worthy. they're good as a whole album, but quite weak as single. except 'angels cry' but the song's too close similar to WBT. oh well.

i pray for a re-release.

Personally I think that Imperfect Angel is perfect the way it is. Its a concept album that was meant to feel cohesive and story driven. Although I do agree that with exception of Angels the rest of the intro/reprise songs did not do much to drive the albums momentum. Bu tit seems the plan was always to have a remix version which makes sense that if people like the songs on the remix album they will be inclined to buy the original concept album. This is a new direction in the Music industry today. No one does a concept album and follows with a remix album.
In fact, Mariah recently has been setting new standards in how music is being marketed. From the experimental booklet with ELLE Magazine in her album to the groundbreaking virtual tickets to watch the live streaming of her Vegas Concert to the concept/remix albums. I love that she is setting new trends once again. Plus her movie career is taking off.
BTW HATE U is her best bet for a number one and it will help her album sales. You'll see, have a little faith in Our Mariah, this is the song she's been wanting as a single. It can totally be a "My All" type of ballad. Its catchy, it has a great melody and Mariah uses so much of her range at the end portion of this song (ie. whisper, whistle, falsetto, chest voice, and lower register)
I will make sure this song gets the same amount of exposure that Obsessed did and I know for a fact that there are fans here that were with me getting Obsessed on the radio that will step up and support this song. HATE U will be #1.

Releasing a ballad after another ballad doesn't mix to me. Mariah should've started out with "Up Out My Face/The Reprise", followed by "Angels Cry", "Standing O" being the 3rd, "H.A.T.E.U." as the 4th, and then "Ribbon" as the 5th single. "I Want To Know What Love Is", could have been the 6th single or simultaneously released with H.A.T.E.U. (or the 4th single worldwide).

I can totally see the video for "Up Out My Face", I would put the "The Reprise" in the beginning as the intro (The pep-rally). The theme would be High School (Homecoming). Mariah would be the captain of the cheerleaders, and her love interest as the captain of the football team. Mariah would see her lover cheating on her (with the other team's cheerleader captain), as she's practicing for the big game. As time progresses, Mariah performs during halftime with the cheerleaders and expose her cheater (lover) to the crowd. At the end, when the game is over and Mariah's school loses she is seen with the captain of the winning team (which is by the way the other girl's boyfriend).

DO ANYONE LIKE MY IDEAL?

OK..calm down guys..i can see there's a lot of violent reaction on the 3rd single..

Why dont we focus 1st on bringing up the ALBUM on top of the Charts..Vote for OBSESSED and IWTKWLS rather than mock Mariah because of her song choice..
?

c'mon PEOPLE..LETS UNITE and help MIMI get that coveted 19 and 20th #1 and beat the BEATLES...

By the way @ IROCS..I like your idea on the UP OUT MY FACE VIdeo.. ( the guy should be drum roll pls.. ROBERT PATTINSON..) so fetch

according to this website

radio ready
1. ribbon
2. inseparable

hi ronny... i'm glad to hear your info. I think H.A.T.E.U. is a 3rd single buzz. She wants to know how we react about her single choice. hahha. I definitely appreciate and support what she chose coz all tracks in Memoirs are great. OK lets support Mimi in her second week, I think Mimi could top the HOT200 and any other international chart. vote big for obsessed or IWTKWLI to be #1, stream, buy the single or digital song, all you want.. lets support Mimi to win the battle!!

memoir is "Her most satisfying album for a decade". i agree 100% with this statement.
my most favorite song on memoir
1. the impossible [perfect +A]
2. iwtwli [A]
3. HATEU [-A]
4. candy bling [B+]
5. RIBBON [B].
6. standing o [B]
picking HATEU AS third single is safe choice.
i dont mind if the third single is hateu, ribbon, candybling, and standing o or even the impossible [ many lambs dont like this song].
i like these songs, these are my fav

up out my face is also good, not bad to be third single

SURVIVING, that's the most important thing to achieve, surviving and still exist on top ten chart as long as possible. not only peak at no 1
e:mc2 sold 450 k in its first week, but after that it fell so quickly from top 10 chart .
mimi needs not only lambs like us to boost her sales, she need others outside lambs.
so lambs keep supporting mimi and promote her new album to others

languishing+IWTWLI: HEAVEN ON EARTH
plz, support this song

languishing+IWTWLI: HEAVEN ON EARTH,
cmon mimi plz make its video

"This is Mariah's 12th album and I must say it's a hit! It's an R&B heavy album that offers upbeat, mid-tempo, and slow jams. It brings out her ghetto side that I have dubbed "Marquisha" lol. The Dream, Tricky, and Mariah wrote their a**es off for this album. Him and Tricky did a great job with production as well. A great album all the way through, probably one of the best female albums this year. It's a must buy! I believe that this album is even better than her breakout album 'Emancipation of MiMi. Overall rating 5/5 stars."

i almost agree with this statement, i give 4,5/5stars. cause there is one song that keep annoying me, that song is "more than just friend", lol

I wanted "H.A.T.E.U." to be the 2-nd single right from the start... Right after "Obsessed". Then "Up Out My Face", "Standing O" and "Angels Cry"...

Thank god Mariah is rleasing HATEU. There's finally gonna be good music on teh radio. everytime i hear obsessed and i want to know what love is i release a sigh of relief because mariah gives me a break from the other mediocre bull that other artists hav been releasing.
For that and so much more Thank U Mariah

I would like to say Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel is a classic. Great Album from start to finish.

Mariah is the artist to beat. No one could compare to her.

I feel the album isnt doing so well and this is my opinion on why. "Obsessed" great song, but shouldnt of been the first single. Angels Cry should of been the perfect first single for this album. The second single should of been Inseparable or Standing O. Its more up beat. I hate how the third single is HATEU. I love the song, but its to slow for radios. Especially now when people aren't even listening to music, they listen to complete trash. Third single now should be Inseperable or Up out my face, or even Angels cry. E=MC2 flopped because of the song choices that were put out, I am just hoping that MOAIA will do alot better, It still hasnt got a number one single! Vote for I wanna know what love is and request!!!!!! We need another number one HIT!

so according to the wikipedia page mariah isn't going to sing my all and always be my baby, fly like a bird ect... instead she'll be singing songs like loverboy and don't stop from glitter.... i hope this isn't true does any one have the scoop. i paid money to see the old mariah!

DAMN BETCHA GON KNOW SHOULD BE THE NEXT SINGLE CUZ IT DEBUTED AT #66 ON DIGITAL SALES CHART AND IT HASNT BEEN RELEASED !!!

Obsessed is about to go PLATNIUM by the waaaaayyyy !!! Its gonna keep rising on the charts baby!!

OK so billboard release the latest data and we're all surprise that Barbra is #1..

LAMBS wake up..What happened to the 450K people who bought E=MC2...

IM happy to see obsessed @ # 6

and lets keep on VOTING..and give MARIAH what she deserve..
