Mariah Unleashes Her Secret Weapon To Save Her $$ — Nick Cannon

Written by The IPS in Videos on Jan 28, 10
Mariah Carey has released her two videos from her upcoming remix project, Angels Advocate (I still cannot with that title — it sounds like a volunteer program at a Children’s Hospital…ummm OK.), which has been pushed back until March 23rd.

The first two singles to precede the set are the “Angels Cry” remix which features Ne-Yo and the “Up Out My Face” remix with Nicki Minaj. Both were directed by husband Nick Cannon (has he done any other videos?) and seem to be done quickly and for the least amount possible for MC level thrifty budgets.

Hit the jump for the two videos and their reviews. Aren’t you excited? *crickets* LOL!

This Is What It Sounds Like When Lambs Cry: Mariah’s “Angel’s Advocate” Remix Album Pushed Back

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Jan 15, 10
Mariah Carey’s remix album, titled Angel’s Advocate, has been pushed back to March 9th, 2010. It had been slated for February, but they’ve pushed it back.

Now, I am gonna say that it was pushed back since they just laid off staff at Universal Music Group — staff that of course would be utilized to go out and “buy” the album; but the real reason is probably because “Precious” also hits DVD that day and she’s also going on a tour of the same name around the same time.

The original just went gold — and I just read that Rihanna went platinum. How/why/who? LOL.

I won’t be paying for this remix album or this tour — this is not the 90’s and there is no ODB in sight so I’m good. As far as the tour — come on, really? I’d rather pull out my MTV Unplugged live of Mariah’s from a grip ago and call it a wrap. Of course the lambs are gonna come out and support. I eat lambchops for dinner though! Pow!

Are Mary and Mariah doing a remix of sorts? That’s gonna sound like Bert & Ernie playing with a See ‘N Say. Lawd. More after the jump!

Beyonce’ Takes A Creole Sabbatical + Mariah Carey Goes Gold

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Jan 12, 10
Beyonce’ is taking a break ya’ll. That’s right, the prayers of the righteous availeth much!

“It’s definitely time to take a break, to recharge my batteries,” says Beyoncé, 28. “I’d like to take about six months and not go into the studio. I need to just live life, to be inspired by things again.” (Source)

The heavens rejoice, the stans lament, and Jay-Z is excited about actually getting some Creole cooking in his kitchen!

I’m glad Beyonce’ is making this decision personally. 6 months might not be long enough, but we need to miss her. And the music has become just a LITTLE stale, so a break is probably going to be creatively. I mean, Sade takes years. Beyonce’ seems to take weeks between albums LOL.

I bet you any new music she comes up with will be better when she comes back! And of course, we still have her upcoming Grammy performances and the yet to be seen “Telephone” video with Lady GaGa. Oh and that faux-ghetto “Put It In A Love Song” video is supposedly dropping too.

And in other news, Mariah Carey just went GOLD. That’s it. Gold. Album sales of course, not digital singles. But still…wow. I remember when Mariah used to be…well, Mariah.

Mariah Can’t Even Sing This ABC Song “Obsessed” Live Anymore…FAIL.

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Dec 17, 09
So Mariah Carey hit up “Lopez Tonight”, comedian George Lopez’s show, and you know what, I wasn’t going to post this (or watch it) because this song is about as old as Mariah’s black leotard she keeps wearing, but oh man, it was just so bad I had to point some things out.
- The first 30 seconds of this performance sum up Mariah’s whole album cycle as of late. Off key, a mess and just a shame. She’s too much of a pro and diva and performer to sound like this! Soul stealing.
- She looks like she sounds on this stage w/ this performance, a mess.
- Mariah being such the star that she is and been in the game for so long, WHY is she even allowing herself to go out and get played like this? I mean, she’s fallen way down the scale from her former glory. Take a sick day.
- The background singers seem like THEY aren’t even trying to cover up for her anymore. Sad day.
- She’s never had any rhythm, but Jesus!
- And lastly, that whistle note? SHE’S NOT DOING THAT LIVE! Know how I know? Despite the fact that they zoomed out on that part (not slick), you can see when they zoom back in at the 3:37-ish mark that her MOUTH is still on that whistle note part BUT the song has already moved on. FAIL!!!
I used to love her but I don’t love her no ‘mo. Like Keyshia Cole and Kanye, I CHANGED MY MIND. I cannot. Stop the rewriting of history books Mariah on your continued decline with this pop-schlock like “Obsessed” and these TERRIBLE live performances! This song is SO easy and 123 Paint By Numbers that she should NOT sound this bad singing it.

WHERE HAVE ALL THE LEGENDS GONE?!

Lambs To The Slaughter: Mariah Carey Is Going On Tour

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Dec 13, 09
Mariah Carey is hitting the road to prop up album sales and/or her bank account after her recent album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel was largely not very well received and a disappointment. She is calling it the “Angels Advocate Tour” (I’ll wait…) and it is hitting up all the major cities, with the opening night being December 31st, 2009 in New York at Madison Square Garden.

I don’t know about you but this seems kind of a sudden announcement…she announced December 11. That’s 20 days away from the tour date start. Her massive army of “lambs” aka fan/stans are sure to snap up the tickets, but I even know a lot of hardcore Mimi fans who largely ignored this album after a couple of listens. Couple that with the fact that vocally she’s not sounding the greatest these days, so expect 1-2 hours of Trey Lorenz doing all the heavy lifting — and her backing-track engineer. She better call Melonie Daniels up!

Even more puzzling is the opening group being included in the press release — RydazNrtist. Yeah, who (their stock alone has even increased since being mentioned in the same sentence with Mariah. Smart.)? Well, they are hubby’s Nick Cannon’s signees to his label NCredible Entertainment, and I think one of the members is his relative. Favoritism had to come into play at some point for us to see and BAM! I hope there are other opening acts to be announced…

Will you shell out hard dollars for this tour? Let me know…I’m interested. Tour dates after the jump.

The Only Thing I Hate More Than This “H.A.T.E.U.” Video Is The Album It’s From…

Written by The IPS in Videos on Dec 9, 09
Mariah Carey gets a big fail. Period. LOL, from the album to the videos just to EVERYTHING.

This is nothing but 3+ minutes of her in a bathing suit mouthing the lyrics to her song. I mean, really? They paid Brett Ratner WAY too much for this, I am almost 100% sure.

I mean, there is literally nothing else to talk about in this video. She should really buy a time machine with all that money she has and go back in time and just erase this album from life. I just cannot! “Obsessed” came on my Internet Radio the other day and I just shut the whole computer off trying to get away from it! A mess HAHAHA!

Mariah Carey Does “H.A.T.E.U.” on Letterman

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Nov 14, 09
I got phone calls about this performance before it even aired on the West Coast LOL. Phone calls and tweets from non-music critics (obviously the opposite of me) and they were all pretty much appalled at it.

“H.A.T.E.U.” is the latest single from that album that we can’t seem to care about and while it was rocky about 75% of the time, the other 25% of the time, she did alright (mostly when she was hitting the higher notes). But again, you can’t not admit that the Mariah Carey of today doesn’t seem as sure of herself vocally and on stage as the Mariah of yesteryear. Every performance seems tenuous and hesitant to me. I don’t know what is up.

Maybe she’s concentrating on working with the little bit she has left. But that’s a breakneck schedule…Italy…New York…I wonder how all of this was taped?

Mariah Carey Wants To “Know What Love Is”; We Know We Don’t Love This Video

Written by The IPS in Videos on Nov 14, 09
If there has ever been a more recent case of ball dropping in a clutch moment, please feel free to point it out.

This overly dramatic, overly digitized song AND video are chock full of pretentiousness and emotionless pandering.

There was a time when Mariah Carey with a Gospel choir meant spine tingling vocals. This time? It’s Mimi standing in front of a cliched gospel choir with some hot pants and boots. I mean, REALLY. What was she and her team thinking?

“I Want To Know What Love Is” was supposed to be the savior of the album after “Obsessed” hit the charts like a ton of bricks, and you know, since it was only really the “street single”, THIS song was supposed to be IT. Well….

This video is awkward, boring and just terrible and Mariah knows better. At least in the “Loverboy” video her being half-naked AND crazy made it entertaining. This is just being ill-dressed and Mimi-miming for the camera. Hype Williams once again gets a fail.

I see her shoutout to “the kids” though. She knows the kids and the lambs are the only ones falling for it. The rest of us? *pops in Ledisi*

Live Performances: Mariah Carey Performs “I Want To Know What Love Is” In Italy

Written by The IPS in Blogs on Nov 12, 09
Man, the first minute and a half of this performance is so AWFUL.

Just pay attention around the 1:23-24 mark where Mariah obviously switches to the performance/lip-synch track! It’s SO OBVIOUS!

I mean, LOL, she started off flat. I see she did grab for her in-ear monitors, but…that’s a classic move.

I’m sorry, I just can’t believe that Mariah Carey started off like that…my heart hurts.

She is promoting her single/album in Italy on their version of the UK’s X-Factor show. Some poor person walked out of that studio and cursed her out in Italian, I believe that to my soul ROFL.

Man…that was just…Mariah still trying to find out what love is…I’m still trying to find out where her voice is. I hope she never pisses off the dude who runs her backline and her vocal backing tracks ROFL. Meltdown!

I want to see her go to Australia with that — they just about beheaded Britney Spears for lipsynching this past week…

Mariah Jacks “My Boo” For “H.A.T.E.U.” Remix…I Die. You Die. We Die Together.

Mariah Carey – “H.A.T.E.U.” (Remix) Feat. Gucci Mane, OJ Da Juiceman & Big Boi [Download/Listen]

That’s it, I am crossing Mariah and Jermaine Dupri off of my Christmas list. THEY GET LUMPS OF COAL.

No, for real.

Jermaine Dupri produces this remix of the song “H.A.T.E.U.” from Mariah’s latest, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, and he jacks the hood classic Ghost Town DJ’s “My Boo” as the music bed.

AND THEN ADDS GUCCI MANE, OJ DA JUICEMAN AND (I’m ok with this one though) BIG BOI.

I mean, what’s next, a remix of “Obsessed” with the music for “My Boo” by K.P. & Envyi!?

I mean, this song is a no-brainer musically, but still, I won’t stand for this tomfoolery. She sounds better on this remix though than the original. I wonder why!? I’m sure Jermaine retweaked the vocals since he really knows Mariah’s voice…

Since her album didn’t fare so well on the charts, debuting #3 this week, Mariah has already lined up “H.A.T.E.U.” as the next single and also announced that she will be releasing a remix project with more features and new music of her whole Memoirs album. Oh joy.
