Told Ja

Like I said before on this little blog, Mariah Carey was rumored to have shelving her new ‘Angel’s Advocate’ album, and now her manager Chris Lighty has come forward to confirm the news, he says that the situation at her label is in "disarray" and that a new album or Christmas album is in the works.Lighty confirmed the news to Mariah’s top fansite, and  Twitter.
 he said:

“We are looking to go possibly to another studio album or Christmas album. The decision hasn’t been totally made yet. It’s a creative process that cannot be rushed.” In regard to the fate of ‘Angel’s Advocate’, he added “It won’t go to waste”, insisting that they are looking at a means of releasing the tracks.

SMH...

Mariah Shut Down

Hate To Say I Told You So...no I don't

But here's the rumore on Mariah Carey’s ‘Angel’s Advocate’ album. Emergeing today is reports the record has officially been shelved. CD Now’s updated listings, "Advocate" page, which previously indicated a March 30th store date, now reads ‘Released Cancelled’.

Mariah Shelved???

If there lay truth in the latest murmurings about Mariah Carey, things appear to be going from bad to worse for the diva. Reliable word has it that, in light of the disappointing performance of its singles, the 39 year old’s ‘Angel’s Advocate’ album has been shelved.

While Carey’s label, Island Def Jam, have yet to confirm or deny the speculation, the LP – which was a Target exclusive – has interestingly vanished from listings on the Target website, as well as Amazon where it was also featured as a download-only release. Additionally, despite being but a few weeks away from its announced release date of March 30th, no album cover nor promotional material for the record has surfaced.

The singer’s latest set-back comes on the heels of the poor performance of her ‘Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel’ LP, as well as the so-so success of her ‘Angel’s Advocate Tour’ – the box office scores of which saw particular dates struggle to fill 3000-seat arenas.

New Music With Mariah And The Dream

I've got new music for you. Wish I could say it was good tho. This is the remixed version of "Ribbon" features the song’s co-writer, The-Dream, and rapper Ludacris. ‘Angel’s Advocate’ will be released via Target on March 30th.

Things are not looking very Hollywood for Mariah Carey. ‘Angel’s Advocate’ has failed to excite fans,with the lead  singles ‘Up Out My Face’ and the Ne-Yo assisted ‘Angel’s Cry’ failing miserably on the charts.  While ‘Up Out My Face’ peaked disappointingly at #100 on Billboard Hot 100, ”Cry’ embarrassingly never garnered enough airplay or downloads to even debut on the chart.

This era is quickly descending into a hot burning mess for our Mimi. It’s all rather sad. With the Oscar buzz around ‘Precious’, as well as her other projects, it’s a bit baffling as to why she’d opt not to just concentrate on those (forgetting and hoping we did too) the epic flop that was ‘Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel’). Instead she’s subjecting herself to more embarrassment by lazily releasing a half-baked remix record. I really do not know who or what is helping her make these ill-informed decisions,

Mariah's Little Moment

Hate to say I told you so...


Box office numbers from Billboard (via Mariah Daily), for Carey’s January 27th 2010 show at the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C, show that of a possible 3166 seats, the Mariah has only managed to fill 2430, leaving 736 seats empty.

I told you trying to put together a tour for an album that's not selling well, was a bad idea...

I told you so...

Mariah Lambs Are Pissed!!!

Via PerezHilton:

Uh-oh!
Mimi may want to rethink her concert setlist, because even the precious lambs she 'cares' about so much are starting to get crankier than she is when she has to squeeze herself into her spanx every day!!
According to an insider, Mooriah is charging up to $325 per ticket while she's on tour, with a relatively short set list. On top of showing up late to every show, the diva has reportedly cut 3 MORE songs for the past two dates, including fan favorite Emotions, to a paltry 13 songs and short short concert experience.
The source claims that even her fanclub lambs, who never complain about the diva's antics, are up in arms, and rightfully so!!
Nobody else cares about you anymore, Mimi, not even Hello Kitty, so you better be nice to the people who actually give a shiz!!!

Though I can't completely agree with the last line, I can say I told you so...

Mariah Carey New Video Joints

Here is Mariah Carey video for "Up Out Of My Face" ft Nicki Minaj.

The video is just blah for me. Nothing new or different which ain't a good thing cus other that Nicki's verse I can't even pay the song any attention. With that being said, I can't blame her or her record label for not wanting to put anymore money or effort (for that matter) into this song or project. "Memoirs" hasn't performed well on radio or the charts. The lambs are mad at the producers of this album, mainly because they allowed The Dream to exclusively produce this album, with. And to make matters worse they are releasing a remix version of her latest, which could turn out to further embarrass Mariah. Taking a bad album and remixing it with phone in rapped verses can't help her cause.
As much as I didn't care about Nicki when I first hear and seen her(the Lil Kim poster remake), her animation and delivery is catching my attention. How long she can keep it will be the real question tho. I heard her earlier work, and to tll you the truth she really does sound like a Lil Kim Foxy Brown clone like they say. But right now I'm really feelin her and she seems like a nice girl.

The lambs will be especially happy cuz she also released Angels Cry ft. Ne-Yo. Check them both out and comment...

Produced by Nick Cannon(maybe that's part of the problem)

Says Sorry, Your No Diva (Side-Eye)

Kate Garraway The reporter that put Mariah Carey on blast for her diva deman was (forced) ask to apologize by her bosses, Mariah was being a diva and she publicly called her on it.

Now this is her sorry:

'I am really sorry about the furore I caused last week after I wrote in this column about Mariah Carey's appearance on GMTV. Especially because I am told it has upset the star herself, which is the last thing I intended.

You will remember I said how nice Mariah was. Everyone at GMTV loved having her on and her performance, typically, blew us all away. But it was wrong for me to add some jokes and gossip about her being a diva. Her management have now told me that I got hold of the wrong end of the stick completely and I am still reeling from the massive ticking off my bosses gave me for fuelling the rumours that Mariah is unreasonably demanding.

Of course a star of Mariah's magnitude is bound to have a lot of people around her when she appears on a show like GMTV, especially as in this instance she also had a group of backing singers as well - no one would expect anything less. Let's face it - the world would be a much duller place without people like Mariah and it's only because they are such stars that we all love to gossip about them.

I am so sorry, Mariah, and I really hope that you come back to the UK soon"

She wasn't even in the GMTV studios when Mariah visited!!!

Mariah Flops In UK

Mariah Carey..."I Want To Know What Love Is"Live at This Morning

39 year old Mariah Carey’s performance of ‘I Want To Know What Love Is’ on UK show This Morning. Here is the performance, it was filmed last week.
Though parts were clearly lipped...she did an excellent job.

Go MiMi!


What are your thoughts?

Mariah Diva Much?

So streets are a buzz about Mariah's diva behavior again. The host of a UK talk show is putting Mariah on front street about her out of hand diva demands. He says the most ridiculous thing is the fact that she "carries her own toilet tissue everywhere she goes." He was also a it more than surprised to see the array of Mariah’s assistants in the studio with their own "separate task". Guys in Mariah’s entourage to helpe her sit down on the sofa so she wouldn't crush her dress, while another stood guard beside the camera crew directing them hw to get the right angle of Mariah. Well I guess she deserves it, she worked hard to get where she is, although toilet paper...
Come On MiMi

Is Mariah Leaving Def Jam? UPDATED

A few of my sources are buzzing that Mariah Carey maybe itching to leave Def Jam. Some are saying it's because Def Jam put half the promotional power behind "Memoirs" than they did "Emancipation" and Mariah ain't happy. Leading some to link the lack of promotional picture to her unwillingness to do so. We all saw "Memoirs" didn't do what Def Jam would have hoped in first week sales, not to mention Mariah's shaky live performances as of late. You didn't hear it from me but, allegedly Mariah and LA Reid are at odds as well. Mariah was signed to Def Jam in 2002 for a min 3 albums(has she fulfilled that). ‘Memoirs…’ has thus far shipped an underwhelming 325,000 copies in the US.

Do you thing Mariah should move on?
