She just needs to get some publicitity, so many people love and know about no talents like Rihanna, but have forgotten about pure talent!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;remix&#8221; album was talked about before memoiirs was released.</p><p>I agree, she def needs to take a break.

The Memoirs album hasn´t even sold half a million. I´m so sad that the album is flopping, because I was really rooting for Mariah and I´ve been a really big fan for many years. The album isn´t bad, I actually think it´s great, but I can see why it´s not selling. There just aren´t any really GREAT songs, they´re all just OK. And you can´t tell the songs apart, they´re practically all the same.I think that ever since Emancipation of Mimi, she hasn´t released anything really mind-blowing or fabulous. E=mc2 was a nice pop album, but I kinda feel that she could do so much better if she really started to focus more on the music and a little less on her ridiculous diva act. I really wish she´d stop acting like a kid. Okay, so it´s kinda sweet that she´s in touch with her inner chid and all, but hello!!I think that´s the reason why she´s not selling records anymore: she´s so wrapped up in her imaginary pink bubble that she has lost contact with her fans! The other reason she doesn´t sell any records is beacause everybody hasn´t really understood that she´s gone r´n´b and those who have just aren´t feeling it. She probably gained so much confidence after the success of Emancipation of Mimi that she felt like she could record just any kind of crap.I really hope that she pulls herself together for the next album. I´d really like to see her on top again because she deserves it. Maybe it´s actually a good thing that this album is flopping, because then she´ll realize she´ll have to work even harder to earn her next hits.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It´s weird how  the Glitter album was considered to be a flop although it has sold about 3.5 million copies to date.

Mariah talked about not having sex with Eminem and called him a &quot;liar&quot;. Although she knows its true, she just wants it to disappear. Mariah has a porn star named Mary Carey walking around making a complete joke out of Mariah Carey.And for all those who say Mariah can sing better than Whitney. Whitney sings live. She has full confidence in her abilities. Mariah does not, which is why (AND ONLY WHY) lip-synchs.

She is my favorite singer. I think this remix album is a good idea as I have read about this a few days ago on mariahdaily. I think it&#039;s a good idea because this CD is just ok. I told myself not to listen to the samples on amazon or itunes but just go out and buy it and if I had listen to the samples, I would not have bought it right away. I was thinking, Mariah has her own style of Hip Hop songs and that&#039;s the problem. They don&#039;t sound that great. I do love Obsessed though. It&#039;s the best song on the CD. I was categorizing some of Mariah&#039;s songs ( remember, I do love her) and it&#039;s mediocre Hip Hop. Who is Mariah trying to appeal to with this mediocre Hip Hop songs? I really don&#039;t know. She needed some dance songs on this album. This is another weird thing. I was a big LA and Babyface fan. I loved all of their music they did in the late 1980&#039;s. And here LA Reid is an executive producer and the owner of Mariah&#039;s record label. He is the one who needs to write and produce the album. How could he have sat there and listen to some of these songs and not say they could be a lot better. Mariah needs to team up with those writers producers who have been making Britney Spears songs. Also, I love Mariah, but her video&#039;s, they aren&#039;t the best. What goes on in Mariah&#039;s mind for some of these video&#039;s? Obessed was kind of good...I know some people didn&#039;t like it, but it was better then 80% of the video&#039;s Mariah has done.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love Mariah.
