Mariah Carey: Official Topic

[Nikosn17]

What a horrible tracklisting. No "Can't Let Go" is atrocious!!!!

 

I know ! It's like my favorite Mariah song... Sony are so stupid.

[LuisMa]

Well, that we know from another of our favorite artists.

[dj4celine]

Well, atleast in India we aren't getting this compilation as of now But if my guess is correct, Sony India won't let the opportunity of a Valentines season pss by without releasing this one then

Of course not, Dhruvie. They won't let a magnificent opportunity like that pass you by.

[Bradders]

Why do sony keep recycling stuff... making more money out of Mariah's name like they did with the 'Greatest Hits'

I probably won't get 'The Ballads'. I doubt Mariah wanted them to release it.

[LuisMa]

That's good ol' Sony. I doubt Mariah has had anything to say about that. Sony will keep putting out Mariah records as long as they have her catalog.

 

Her Greatest Hits album was great, but with no promotion, it performed miserably.

Below, find scans of Sony BMG's forthcoming release, The Ballads, as well as UK promo copies of the compilation and "Hero."

Please don't tell me they re-release it at the same time as the 12 uk X factor people release their version

What are Sony thinking !!! ?

[Nikosn17]

^ I was wondering that myself. Why are they releasing Hero again after 15 years... At least it would be good if this song becomes her 3d #1 in the UK. And even if her version won't go to #1 she'll get credits as the songwriter of the song for the X-factor contestants version which as they said will probably be #1.

They're just capitalizing on X-Factor's power to move the masses. Faith Hill's "There You'll Be" reached the Top 10 again after a girl sang it on the show.

hmm I don't know if this is good or bad. Sure they'll bring Mariah back into the spotlight + I heard that they are trying hard to get her on the show but that her team isn't interested which is stupid cause this is an amazing promotion for her as an artist. We'll see what will happen but I hope she'll go to X-Factor. I guess X-Factor will sell The Ballads well. This shitty compilation will probably sell more than E=MC2 because of ''Hero''.

And her team probably (I'd say 100% ) isn't interested because E=MC2 has disappeared from the UK charts, and what's coming is a Sony re-release. Of course Mariah will get royalties from it, but she won't be promoting something she hasn't been involved with.

I guess she can perform ''I Stay In Love'' or something but they'll probably want her to do ''Hero'' or ''Without You''. But actually she'll get money if The Ballads sells well so I don't see why she wouldn't want to go there. + She did some promo for ''Greatest Hits'' in 2001, she did a mini-promo for The Remixes as well so she should do promo this time as well.

I totally agree with what you are saying, but this time who knows whether Island will allow her do some promotion. I really don't know. But every bit of promo is awesome. I'm finishing watching yesterday's episode of the X Factor, and she was mentioned. Alexandra did an amazing interpretation of "I'll Be There," so the single might show up on the chart next week. The UK chart is so unpredictable...

[Nikosn17]

hmm but even if she goes to promote The Ballads this can be helpful for E=MC2. Just like when she was promoting E=MC2, Greatest Hits re-entered the chart.

I think so, but if I were in her position, I wouldn't want to promote an album that I had no involvement with, even if I wrote the songs or love them. Still she will be making money, but she did not call for it. I don't know. I'm annoyed at that horrible compilation.

 

I still hope it does well. Whitney had a huge selling Greatest Hits CD (another one) at the end of last year/beginning of this one.

Yeah, Mariah wants to be involved with everything. She showed that many times by writing, producing and even directing videos so I'm sure she don't want this compilation to be released. But we'll see how will debut this CD next week.

I wonder. It also makes me puzzled that her two number one singles in the UK are covers which I hate.

Exactly. I still can't get over WBT peaking at #2. But anyway they started mentioning Mariah a lot in X-factor. Yesterday for example

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rO08gGUcSXo

 

At the end they like mentioned her name 20 times which is good.

I know! Especially after Cheryl became mad about Simon's comments.

 

Did you see Alexandra's performance? It was goooood. Or were you just waiting for Mariah's name to pop up?

 

Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W57FbpsOpUA&feature=user

 

Mariah gets mentioned again.

[Nikosn17]

I saw it but nobody can top Mariah's performance at MTV Unplugged. This is the best version I've heard and I doubt we'll hear a better performance of this song.

 

It's good that they mention her name so many times. They are preparing the public for ... THE BALLADS

Cheryl should have been instructed to include some Mariah in the live shows. So Mariah will pay her back by duetting with Girls Aloud.

[Nikosn17]

Tomorrow is quite a big day for Mariah

 

- The Ballads are out in the UK

- ''Right To Dream'' is going for adds on AC radio (still no HQ leak of the song which is weird)

- Appearance on Good Morning America

- Taping ''Rachel Ray'' after GMA

The one that leaked in April is fan-recording from the premier of the movie so it's not really the full song. It's 2 minute from the movie. I expected the original radio version to leak a few days ago but it still hasn't. Hopefully tomorrow we'll finally hear the whole song.

[LuisMa]

Thanks. Yeah that's the only part I've listened to as well. I hope it leaks NOW.

As if they'd exit the stage 'cause of the embarrasment at how awesome she is compared to them
