poll: mariah carey - memoirs of an imperfect angel

Didn't vote in this but "Ribbon" would have been my pic

Some of the results were very O_o

Oh shit I DID vote! Lol 2012

I def voted "ribbon" too, and would again. Sorry about it.

think it was slept on bc mariah/her team have piss-poor decision making skills when it comes to promo. like ... angel's cry was a single. nuf said. same was true for the previous album, not even promo for the finest cuts.

on both albums (memoirs & E=MC2) the lead single was v smart (Touch My Body, Obsessed), but apart from that somebody needed to speak up in those meetings and pitch ideas that actually made sense

surm otm. it was more annoying for e=mc2 because that was an album absolutely packed with potential hits, like almost designed to be a hit machine, and they still fucked it up - like can you even believe "bye bye" was a single? and "i stay in love"? while "i'm that chick", "migrate", "o.o.c.", "cruise control" and "side effects" were not?

memoirs was different, it's not like there were any obvious singles beyond "obsessed" on it, esp in the chart climate of 2009, though again mariah's team did it no favours - but it's v much an album for the fans and i doubt mariah's priority was hitting number one. i love it to death though, "the impossible" is just all-time

like can you even believe "bye bye" was a single? and "i stay in love"? while "i'm that chick", "migrate", "o.o.c.", "cruise control" and "side effects" were not?

no

"migrate" would have been so massive

such a perfect pre-drinking tune

In my world, "Candy Bling" would've been #1 for six weeks.

^^^

and migrate otm

i just listened to candy bling and it was a little bit like a religious experience

the results are a near travesty btw, i regret even making this poll

had this same thought

It's like he's your doppelgänger.

apart from the obvious joke votes for the cover, i'd say these results are fine and expected. maybe "ribbon" won a bit too heavily but i don't begrudge that amazing song anything

OTM

i can't believe candy bling happened

she shoulda just put the remixes on the album (Nicki, Gucci)

the first moments of “hate u” are so…angelic. the entire song is this incredibly poignant breakup song, seesawing in tone from this nostalgic tenderness to borderline rageful clarity…in retrospect a terius pinnacle

of course k3v knows that song, he wasn't raised by wolves. liking "candy bling" and not knowing "back in the day" is the definition of fuckshit.
