Mariah Carey's Album Caving

"Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" Bombing

Mariah Carey drunk as a skunk over flatlined career

Mariah Carey's latest effort, the album entitled "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" is not selling well. First the Eminem fiasco, the Foreigner fail and now this.

"Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" is currently positioned to place at #2 on the Billboard Charts next week, with sales of 160,000 to 170,000 copies, her lowest in nearly a decade.

When one factors in the usually inevitable, second week percentage drop in sales, "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" is firmly on track to be turkey. Thanksgiving has come early. The exposure she gained from the Oprah Winfrey Show was for naught.

In other news, Carey was pictured staggering out of a restaurant drunk, due to the bad news. Back to the "Glitter" days, then.

Considering her past history in trying to take her life, someone should put her on suicide watch...again. Really, to take one's music career seriously enough, to the point of suicide attempts, is crazy.

Pop thief Madonna also bombed very badly with the release of her spectacularly stinky Greatest Hits album, which is on track to sell a paltry 67,000 copies. Never mind the Eagles sold 28,000,000 of their Greatest Hits CD.

Madonna is over. She hasn't had a hit album in America in over a decade. Hence, her trying to pimp out her preteen daughter in a sexually charged video, to no avail, as she is the spitting image of her and the world is tired of all things Madonna.

Barbara Streisand isn't faring too badly with her latest effort that received virtually no real promotion. It is on track to sell 160,000 copies.

Whitney Houston

However, it looks like this round of the battle of the Sopranos goes to Whitney Houston. Though her sales were not spectacular, Houston sold 300,000 copies during the first week of release, with a 70% decline in the second week.

Disclaimer: the term soprano is loosely applied to Madonna as she cannot sing for anything.

Fueled by Ramen Punk-Rockers Hold the Edge Over Diva in One-Day Returns

September 30, 2009 - Brand New Eyes, the third studio album from the band, fronted by lead vocalist Hayley Williams, takes an early lead in the race with a one-day sales total that projects to 180-190k for the week.

That gives them the edge over Island/IDJ diva Mariah Carey’s Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, which is now on target for 160-170k. With a question as to how front-loaded those sales for Paramore are, Carey could close the edge if she has a brisk weekend.

Those two are among the five top debuts next week, all registering in six-figures, including Columbia legend Barbra Streisand’s Love is the Answer (150-160k), Hollywood rockers Breaking Benjamin (140-150k) and Virgin/EMI’s retooled grunge gods Alice in Chains (130-140k).

Columbia Nashville country darling Miranda Lambert’s Revolution heads the other newcomers, with a total approaching 65-75k.

WB Material Gal Madonna’s Celebration greatest hits album is in the 60-70k range, as is Interscope goth-punks AFI’s Crash Love...

Mariah Carey Gets Desperate

Mariah Carey

Mariah “Karaoke” Carey, reeling from the failure of her current Eminem diss single “Obsessed” which was the lead off to her forthcoming album due in September, is going to enrage classic rock fans everywhere, by remaking the 1980’s Foreigner tune “I Wanna Know What Love Is.” I was listening to that song just the other day.

That tune is a classic, but watch Carey butcher and ruin it, with her now decimated, irritating voice, much like she did in the terrible remake of the Phil Collins mega-hit “Against All Odds.”

It’s a sad day when a man with less octaves than you allegedly have, sings his song a million times better than you.

It will serve as further proof Carey is not creative and relies on taking other people’s music or making sub par remakes of songs that were already huge hits, in bids at stopping her career from dying.

Side Bar: the tracks “Angels Cry” and “It’s A Wrap” are not Carey’s, though they’ve illegally ended up on her forthcoming CD. God doesn’t like ugly, Mariah and will not bless you for it.

Mariah Carey's Career Tanking Again

Mariah Carey bets on nostalgia, covering Foreigner

August 18, 2009 | 12:40 pm - Perhaps realizing that the focus should be less on Mariah Carey's feud with Eminem and a bit more on the pop diva, more hints were dropped today about the singer's upcoming "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel." The ad-supported album, which was originally set for Aug. 25, is now due to be released Sept. 29.

The second single from Carey's "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" will apparently be a cover of Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is" (perhaps tackling "Don't Stop Believing" would have been a too-obvious choice of pandering).

The news was first reported by Roger Friedman, and his article has since been posted on Carey's official website.

This isn't the first time Carey has covered an '80s ballad -- see her take on "I Still Believe" above. The latter gave Carey yet another top 10 hit, a status that has thus far eluded her "Obsessed."...

Mariah Carey's Career Tanking Again Pt 2

Mariah Carey

After the dismal showing of her lead off single, the Eminem mocking track "Obsessed" Mariah Carey has returned to the recording studio, with her tail between her legs. Carey was clearly knocked for six, after suffering a musical thrashing from her one time lover, Detroit rapper, Eminem.

She has pushed back her album's release date, which is a tell-tale sign of trouble. Labels usually push up album release dates when the lead single does well.

Eminem

When the single is tanking, they push it back, delaying the inevitable defeat on the charts, by trying to rework the project and add new material.

Side Bar: I'm still wondering why crazy Mariah thought she could handle an musical onslaught by a viper-tongued rapper.

Eminem vs. Mariah Carey

...Gets Ugly

...Really, Really Ugly

Eminem

Crazy singer, Mariah Carey, antagonized volatile rapper, Eminem, one too many times this year, leading to him releasing a thoroughly vicious, expletive laden diss track this week, calling her out as an insane, whorish liar, who kept flying out to his house. He even implied she's no "Mary Poppins" as she loves to claim, engaging in a threesome with him and another man.

I never believed Carey was the Mary Poppins innocent type. Anyone that destroys the marriage of a man with preteen children, Tommy Mottola, or as my friend routinely mispronounces his name, "Tommy Motorola" to obtain a recording contract and stardom, is not innocent or blameless.

Mariah Carey

Eminem released a massive string of verbal slaps at Carey's husband, Nick Cannon, thoroughly embarrassing the two. The song it titled "The Warning" as in warning shot, as the Detroit rapper threatens to unleash a flurry of embarrassing phone messages and photos that portray Carey in a very bad light.

Carey's latest project is not doing well and this song is not going to help her predicament.

Side Bar: why does Mariah sound like a man on that song.
