And yeah, Jermaine can have a window seat for this project, not saying I dislike him as a producer, he's a HUGE influence on the music industry, but like you said, we like growth, and for some reason, he is still trying to produce music like he did back in 2005, and honestly I think Mariah is with him for the nostalgia. As for Memoirs...I think I disliked that CD because the title put my expectations in a completely different place than what she gave me, so I'm hoping she doesn't give us THAT rehashed. And also, she needs to make legendary music now, not forgettable commercial pop fluff, she's a living legend at this point, and her music should be BIG to accompany her big voice and legacy.Mike J.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-78778963732440252432012-04-22T18:34:55.389+01:002012-04-22T18:34:55.389+01:00Thats great news!

I guess JD is producing just one or two R&B tracks, just like he did on Daydream album.

Yep all of the songs you listed I also enjoy!<br /><br />Haha about the octave jump, thats one of the reasons that I started to get into her, she was the only singer I had ever heard that could do such inhuman vocal activities, make it sound good and do it with stupedious ease!<br /><br />And yes unfortunately I have heard her murder H.A.T.E.U. on many an occasion LOL but I have also heard her sing other songs of hers to a far superior version to that of the official recording!<br /><br />Lol I know what you mean, a Mariah convo for me could last an eternity, and this is the only place I can entertain it, my friends think I am loose in the head loving her (the fools lol)Stueynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-49618454119891662862012-04-20T17:12:26.416+01:002012-04-20T17:12:26.416+01:00Because they are brilliantly wrote.Because they are brilliantly wrote.Sultannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-76473803323238959592012-04-20T15:53:07.203+01:002012-04-20T15:53:07.203+01:00How do those songs exhibit great song writing?

I really like "more than just friends". The harmonies on that are so fresh as well is the way she tackles the main melody. <br /><br />Really like "inseparable" too - the little whistle note she jumps into mid-track is so playful. Also like how as the song is ending she jumps up an octave on the word "Inseparable" . I love when she does stuff like that. She does the opposite in one of my favourite songs of hers "Melt Away" but instead of going up an octave[from the notes at 3.02] she goes down [at 3.30] I always look forward to that part when it comes on my ipod. lol <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnjOBDu7aYk <br /><br />H.A.T.E.U is an awesome song too. Such a tough song to sing live. Goes all over the place . I could talk about Mariah all day...lolDiva Devoteehttp://www.divadevotee.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-67379552896207685362012-04-20T15:17:42.427+01:002012-04-20T15:17:42.427+01:00I think thats the problem with going backwards ins...I think thats the problem with going backwards instead of forwards.

Meaning heartfelt ballads with catchy pop lead singles. Her albums that focus purely on these two types of songs have always sold well (minus Glitter unless you accumulate the sales as of now). Hip Hop hasn't really worked for her since Emancipation of MiMi. I LOVED Memoirs of an imperfect angel. I didn't understand how it sold so little. If she would release more stuff like Rainbow, Emotions, heck even some Vision of Love her fanbase will come Pouring back in. Of course some would call that "reductive"Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-88980595284655448112012-04-20T12:27:01.390+01:002012-04-20T12:27:01.390+01:00I'm sure that Mariah confirmed somewhere that ...I'm sure that Mariah confirmed somewhere that her new album would be a "Current" take on her original pop debut so Im hoping we get some grade A material that isn't riddled with elements of Elctronica and Hip Hop.Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-24988019558332428722012-04-20T11:06:46.168+01:002012-04-20T11:06:46.168+01:00I don't know all Mariah's songs actually I...I don't know all Mariah's songs actually I don't think I know more then 15 but my top three Mariah songs are:<br /><br />1-Emotions: one of her most amazing vocal performance and song writing.<br /><br />2-If It's Over: her most amazing vocal performance and it's were you can find her solidest belts ever and slightly lacking but still great song writing.<br /><br />3-We Belong Together: great song writing, emotive belts and amazing held C5.Sultannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-26399054298466954162012-04-20T01:31:45.296+01:002012-04-20T01:31:45.296+01:00Hahaha, they really did do many a spectacular ball...Hahaha, they really did do many a spectacular ballad together....so many to choose from.
