MARIAH CAREY GOES KARAOKE

MARIAH CAREY GOES KARAOKE *** Mariah Carey turns karaoke queen for her latest album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. We had a first listen to six tracks but almost choked on our pink cupcake as we heard her belt out Foreigner's I Want To Know What Love Is. *** We can see the children's choir on stage already. The rest is classic Mariah with R&B tracks Candy Bling, Standing O and Impossible and a biting tribute to Eminem with Obsessed. (Mirror)

PREVIEW: MARIAH CAREY

PREVIEW: MARIAH CAREY

*** I've had a sneaky preview of six tracks from 40-year-old Mariah Carey's new album Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel, out on September 14. Her 12th opus boasts collaborations with artists including The-Dream, 27, and Timbaland, 38. Here's my verdict so far:
****Candy Bling: A melodic, mid-tempo soul shaker with understated vocals that leave you thoroughly detoxed. Not the booty-trembling hip-hop anthem you'd expect from the title. 4/5
****Obsessed: The hard-hitting yet elegant lead single has MC declaring: "It must be the weed, it must be the E, 'cause you be poppin', you get it poppin'." Eminem bating? Possibly - but definitely biting. 4/5
****H.A.T.E. U: Mariah has invited fans to guess the meaning of the track's initials, but it's clear it stands for a lady in love as she purrs through a hypnotic, musical aphrodisiac. 4/5
****Standing O: The O is officially for ovation but, given the intimacy of this tune, it must be a double entendre. A toe-tapper but not quite a show-stopper. 3/5
****Impossible: MC loves you "like a milkshake", although the melody isn't quite as full-flavoured as you'd hope. 2/5
****I Want To Know What Love Is: Foreigner's cheesy 80s signature power ballad, given the Carey the Carey treatment and complete with choir and karaoke climax. It's a great re-work. 5/5

MARIAH CAREY'S NEW LP GETS THE BIZ REVIEW TREATMENT

MARIAH CAREY'S NEW LP GETS THE BIZ REVIEW TREATMENT *** Mariah used to be on fi-ah. But no longer. While UK Brrrap pack artists such as Tinchy Stryder and DJ Ironik take soul and R'n'B in exciting new directions, veteran Carey is left looking tired and irrelevant. No more so than on new album Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel. *** I was played a selection of tracks from the CD, due on September 14, and they left me feeling that the diva has run out of steam. The collection has been billed as her most personal so far, harking back to the sound of her mid-Nineties heyday. But its reliance on bland, dated-sounding, dreary R'n'B bored me to tears. *** Cliched lyrics about things being better "back in the day" and loving someone like "Kool Aid" don't help either. A cover of Foreigner's I Want To Know What Love Is was competent at best. And with little of her trademark vocal pyrotechnics on display I can't find much to recommend what I heard. *** There's still more tracks to finish before the album hits the shelves. I just hope they're not as bad as the one's she's already handed in... (The Sun)

MARIAH CAREY TO RELEASE COLLECTOR'S SET

MARIAH CAREY TO RELEASE COLLECTOR'S SET

*** Mariah Carey fans who go to the store to pick up her new album on September 15 better bring extra cash. Island Def Jam will release a three CD collector's set the same day as Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, Rap-Up.com has learned. The box set will include the songbird's first three Island albums, 2002's Charmbracelet, 2005's The Emancipation of Mimi, and 2008's E=MC2, and be sold at a special low price. The packaging will have space for a fourth CD (hint, hint).
*** In addition, those who purchase the collector's set will receive a Mariah poster to remind them of all the money they just spent.

NICK CANNON CLAIMS "OBSESSED" IS ABOUT HIM, NOT EMINEM

NICK CANNON CLAIMS "OBSESSED" IS ABOUT HIM, NOT EMINEM

*** Despite what you might think about Mariah Carey's single and video for "Obsessed" being directed at Eminem, when the singer made an appearance Wednesday night on husband Nick Cannon's show "America's Got Talent", Cannon used it as another chance to insist the song isn't about Em.
*** "I don't care what nobody say, that song is about me, because I am obsessed with this beautiful girl right here," Cannon said on the show after Carey performed the controversial track. "This beautiful woman next to me has more #1 hit singles than any single artist in the world. How do you do it?"
*** After Carey clarified that the Beatles have more hit singles than her, Cannon added, "We ain't worried about them, because it's all about Mariah right now. She's modest, she's beautiful. Ladies and gentlemen, my soul mate, Mariah Carey."
*** Cannon had been angling to get Carey on the show since its premiere earlier this summer. "They keep asking me that - I don't know. It's a possibility. She loves the show," he told MTV News in June. "She has a hot new album coming out. It's the hottest show on TV, so why wouldn't that work out? So hopefully the timing works out and she does get to come represent."
*** He also had previously mentioned that he thought the song was about him when he spoke to us while promoting "AGT". "I always say I thought the record was about me, 'cause I'm obsessed with my wife," he said. "But if somebody's out there and you feel like you might have been obsessed, then the record's about you."

NICK WELCOMES "SOULMATE" MARIAH TO AMERICA'S GOT TALENT

NICK WELCOMES "SOULMATE" MARIAH TO AMERICA'S GOT TALENT

*** Wednesday brought the first night of live eliminations on America's Got Talent, when 12 quarterfinalists, who performed Tuesday, were cut down to just five acts. High-flying basketball crew Acrodunk, Drew Thomas Magic and country crooner Kevin Skinner were the first three to make the semi-finals.
*** Then, AGT welcomed Mariah Carey, host Nick Cannon's wife, to the stage to perform her new single "Obsessed", off her upcoming album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. "I don't care what nobody say, that song is about me because I am obsessed with this beautiful girl right here," Cannon said as his wife finished her song. "This beautiful woman next to me has more No. 1 hit singles than any single artist in the world. How do you do it?"

*** "Well, there's a group that has more," she said, referring to the Beatles. "And clearly, we can't touch them." "We ain't worried about them because it's all about Mariah right now," Cannon replied. "No, no. This is your show," she said to her husband. "I'm just so happy to be here."

*** "She's modest, she's beautiful," a proud Cannon continued. "Ladies and gentlemen, my soulmate Mariah Carey." Then, it came down to just two more spots in the semi-finals and the first went to 75-year-old stand-up comedienne Grandma Lee, who got choked up when she got the news. The second, between 14-year-old singer Thia Megia and dancer Arcadian Broad, 13, would be the judges' choice.
*** In a split decision, Broad, who played the piano and danced to "Footloose" the night before, was selected to move on to the next round of competition, getting votes from judges Sharon Osbourne and David Hasselhoff while Piers Morgan's vote went to Megia.

MARIAH CAREY: "OBSESSED" IS DEFINITELY NOT A FLOP

MARIAH CAREY: "OBSESSED" IS DEFINITELY NOT A FLOP

*** Despite continuous claims that Mariah Carey's new single "Obsessed" is a flop, the single has been rising steadily at iTunes and continues to gain airplay impressions nationwide. The song originally debuted at number 11 on Billboard's Hot 100, then dropped to number 20 and climbed back to number 17 last week.

*** This column was one of the first that heralded the single as a flop, but we put our foot down way too soon. When a single by a big artist is first released, the die-hard fans buy a lot of copies the first week. Thus, Mariah had a huge spike of sales that made her debut at number 11.
*** After first week sales level off, the song either drops completely off the charts or drops and slowly climbs its way back up if the rest of the general public like the song. After dropping out of the top 20 in iTunes, Mariah has made her way up to as high as number 14. It is quite possible that the song will rise up to the top 5 again on iTunes. Mariah will most likely score another top ten single.
*** Despite our admitting that we called "flop" way too early, it is still obvious that Mariah is in need of a makeover. The song isn't the huge number one smash people expected and several fans and non-fans have said they are growing tired of Mariah's hoochie mama act. In any case, Mariah is making more money than all the people reading this column put together so perhaps we should just let her be.
