MARIAH SPEAKS ABOUT NEW ALBUM
Mariah Carey is reportedly working with everyone from Jermaine Dupri to The-Dream on her brand new album.
Titled “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel,” the album is said to be a collection of stories that Mariah says are “for everybody but in a lot of ways are very (related to the) woman empowerment movement”.
Sharing the recording experience with fans, Carey took to twitter over the weekend, stating “Experimenting with my voice in the studio on this new mid temp/ballad..”.
“Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel” is due to be released through Island in September.


FEELING AMERIE’S NEW JOINT!! THAT SHYT BANGS ON THE SPEAKERS! AND I CREATED A BREAKDANCE TO IT..CHECK IT OUT ON YOUTUBE! SHE NEED TO GET NAS OR JAY Z ON THAT TRACK
i liked amerie’s last album, but the new song sounds like it was a leftover from the last cd… she always brings the same… and we knew she was not successful with it two years ago, so why should she be now? she does not have that great voice…
and i think mimi’s last album has been good, it was not that great as emancipation, but it was a cool summer cd, just not a classic as you’re expecting from a mariah carey
so mimi, take you’re time and do a classic album like emancipation again
whitney….don’t know…last year a song with akon leaked “like i never left”, has not been that great
she has to come with something hot this time
by the way…gher face in this pic looks horrible, she looks healthy again, yes
but the facial expression
nono
Whitney Vs. Mariah: we ain’t even gonna argue this battle. Mariah has a larger fan base: old, young, black white, straight, gay, lesbian, all races. Whitney has been gone so long her fan base has just LEFT, she underwhelmed last year with the AKON assisted single also. While i think in this generation, 1980′s Whitney Houston was the Greatest vocalist i’ve ever heard, she could old notes for EVER (look at Greatest Love of All–live on Arista’s 25th special).
BUT, mariah still sells more records, she’s more marketable and her voice is just crazy, while she may not sing like she use to, even thou on FLY LIKE A BIRD, MINE AGAIN, Thanks for NOTHING (off last cd which is INCREDIBLE) and I Wish You Well, she still has vocals, and crazy vocals.
I think Mariah and Whitney play this game, those CD’s will NOT be out in Septemeber they always push them back.
Whitney performed live at clive davis grammy party and sounded HORRIBLE.. this is very heartbreaking. she still has no voice, she avoided all HIGH NOTES (when did the OLD whitney EVER avoid high notes).
and to all you people who disliked Mariah’s last cd. Listen to “Thanks for Nothing” it’s the best song on the CD, worth listening to and worth enjoying. She sings the HELL out of that song and NO Whistle Notes.
Mariah is Incredible.
I can’t wait until Whitney’s and Mariah’s albums are released. I love both of them. I simply love Whitney’s voice and her stage presence. She always had confidence when she performed at award shows like, “I know I’m good and I’m going to show you how it’s done.” But, most people with common sense should know that she is not going to sound like she did early in her career–same with Mariah. I think both ladies will do well and I also think that the media is going to make it out to be “battle of the dualing divas” when the albums are released. I am going to support both of my favorite singers. Even on their bad days, they sound better than a lot of the younger female singers out today. Good luck to both!!!
getting my wedding vows ready for amerie LOL natural beauty she came to my job once very little makeup shes georgeous
I have a snippet of Amerie’s “Swagback” and lets just say that it should have been the FIRST single….very strong anthem!
Im hoping the underdog Toni Braxton steals the limelight. She is one who deserves it. Never have I heard any negative press on her despite the many obstacles she’s faced. Toni Braxton comeback please!
I will be happy when Toni Braxton releases a release date. Can’t wait for her new album!!!!!!!!!!
Hey People. She’s not 22 anymore, she’s 46 so don’t expect her to look young or younger. She looks good though
