So… I love this new album! One of my favorite Mariah albums but it seems like nothing is being done correctly…
Mariah has at top 10 Billboard Hit with “Obsessed”, so why has that song only been performed 2 or 3 times? Why didn’t she do the VMAs or the other award shows that have come since that song hit radio. With the right promo it could have been a #1 hit! Furthermore, where is the video for “I Want to Know What Love Is”! It wasn’t the right second single to choose but it’s done and I know she shot a video with Hype Williams, so…. where is it???
Because of the complete lack of promo and hype surrounding this project Mariah had the lowest debut of her Def Jam career, 200 and some odd thousand records sold I think, maybe less then that her first week and a sharp decline the next…
I’m so disappointed. Do L.A Reid and Def Jam want the project to be successful??? Will this be “E=MC2″ all over again???
This is what needs to happen:
1. Mariah needs to scrape “I Want To Know What Love Is” and come hard with either “Inseperable” or “Angels Cry”. A strong video and heavy promo should follow. She needs to slay late night and any award show that comes between now and summer 2010. Those two songs have the biggest chart and radio potential on the album.
2. Fire her stylist (hate everything she’s been wearing lately) and get rid of that bullsh** choreographer! The routine for the “Obsessed” performances is ri-goddamn-diculous and should be career ending for who ever let her go on stage with that sh**…
If she follows my instructions she’ll be fine but if not this will be another “Charmbracelet”, a great Mariah album that no one hears with a theater tour or no tour at all like “E=MC2″…
Side Note: Any performances of “Obsessed” from this point forward should be lip sung! She never seems to get it right!
