Mariah Carey - That Chick [New Album .. April]

No, it's because it's Mariah that it's dumb, and I mean that in a purely taxonomical sense, not critical.

I should've said Glitter and her greatest hits disc. Maybe my problem with most Mariah albums is that there are non-singles on them. (Totally disagree with Rich on the notion that this disc is front-to-back a collection of jiffy-pop singles.)

i'm not totally inclined to agree with that either but i get his point -- i think he was responding to a lot of reviews calling the album too "formulaic"

you know how sometimes ppl latch onto one observation about a new release? that's it

Would it help if I said I like E=MC2 less than I did upon first listen?

did you like MIMI?

Not particularly. I'm really mostly a fan of the three-album stretch from Butterfly through Glitter.

crazy boy.

this has been in my head ALL DAY:

i guess this would be my complaint about E=MC. nothing quite like this.

weak in the knees.

This makes me a little weak in the knees: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDSBc-_P-Ws

i like 'glitter' better than 'showgirls.'

omg

i need to see glitter

The WBT rewrites are settling quite well with me.. Esp. Love Story, thanks for nothin and i stay in love. They did feel like lazy filler in the beginning but after a while they just kinda developed their own personality.. Weird.

i agree, they're growing. but for me the downfall happens when i start comparing this to Mimi, which was just stacked with catchy, clean songwriting, and didn't really have any unnecessary sappy stuff, which i feel is where Last Kiss falters. For me it's really that track that doesn't work.

Kells remix is fire as usual

AYY IT'S THE REMIX KILLAAA

Amazingly, this album is even better than Mimi. Early candidate for album of the year.

OK, let's talk tracks.

These are the amazing tracks off E=MC2:
Migrate
Touch My Body
Cruise Control
Side Effects
I'm That Chick
I'll Be Lovin You Long Time
Thanx For Nothin
O.O.C.
For The Record

9 amazing tracks on one album is enough for me. i'll decide on the rest lata

also, style-wise, we've never seen the likes of: Side Effects, or I'm That Chick

from mariah.

am i right?

"I"m That Chick" is my favorite. While it's not different for Stargate (they've replaced harp with celeste hooks) it is for her.

you're nuttier than I was on the Erykah Badu thread.

(x-post obv)

dude it's been out for a week. this is still now. =P i need to get me some erykah.

Heh, I'm pretty sure I bumped the Erykah thread at least three or four times to more or less say "I'd go str8 for badu," et al.

Just an fyi: we have a 48-hour exclusive for Mariah's next video @ comcast.net/music/mariahcarey/. It should be up Saturday @ midnight.

yay!!

That tinkly goop known as "Bye Bye" is the single?

*new single

yeah i'm not sure why that's happening

That Mariah keeps me coming back to a song with a piano line as repulsive as that of "I Stay in Love" is a true testament to her talents.

My favorite moment on this album is definitely the last ten-or-so seconds of "I'm That Chick". It's nothing short of orgasmic when she belts out those last lines: "I'm like that uptown haze them real thugs blaze..." Makes me crack up every time.

If I were to rank the songs on this album it would look something like this:

I'm That Chick
Thanx for Nothin'
For the Record
Lovin' You Long Time
Cruise Control
Touch My Body
Migrate
Love Story
O.O.C.
I Stay in Love
Last Kiss
Side Effects
Bye Bye
I Wish You Well

yeah i could never

"We Belong Together" 1

understand why they would make a piano-driven ballad

"Don't Forget About Us" 1

with mariah belting at the end of it a single

maybe you guys know why?

it sounds more like like "Don't Forget About Us.'

Except with hilarious lyrics about grandmothers.

look, it's totally different! the SONGWRITING is just not as good.

we belong together is one of those songs, it happens once in a lifetime. yup.

don't get me wrong, piano can never be used enough. in the right wayyyyy

SO many ways to use the piano.

you don't say.

lou you're so right about that last part of "I'm That Chick"

very classic

and i'm getting really into I Wish You Well.

one of those "it didn't hit me hard enough the first time" songs

I'm really enjoying this album, first Mariah album that I've ever wanted to listen to more than once...also at the beginning of "Migrate" she sounds like this

haaaa.

wtf she got married to nick cannon????????

lol

omg no she didn't

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have wed, Latina magazine reports.

The two got hitched in a small ceremony on an island Wednesday, according to the magazine. They quote a source as saying it was "very implusive."

Rapper Da Brat attended, the magazine says.
