""As Mariah Carey enters her mid-40s, she must adjust to 'ever-shrinking' radio opportunities," he says. "She has to downsize her commercial expectations, but that could allow her to take some chances artistically."
Eckstine says Mariah should explore taking the Celine Dion route of a Las Vegas or Atlantic City residency, "a big show with bells and whistles, an over-the-top diva-ready extravaganza" might be the answer, where she can perform her hits and not worry about new material.
The veteran record man also suggests Carey might tone down the "va-va-voom" imagery, record an EDM-dance-Europop album or reunite with Clive Davis to provide her with some quality material.
"Dial up Pharrell and tell him to bring Nile Rodgers with him," he concludes.

Tom Vickers, a former A&R and music publishing executive at A&M, Capitol, Mercury and Almo Irving, thinks the 44-year-old Mariah has a disconnect with what was once her core audience: 14 to 18-year-old girls. "The biggest issue is she's a mother with two children of her own trying to appeal to teenagers."
His recommendation? Collaborate with hit songwriter-producers like Dr. Luke, Max Martin or "this year's model."

Very interesting article

Sometimes you need to know when to put a dog down. Her music career is over.

Sure. We all know that a pop star's caree is done after 2 flop albums. There's nothing you can do at that point. NOTHING. There has not been ONE pop star who has overcome two flop albums! Oh wait, maybe there was?! Hm.

this is so stupid, anyone who questions mariah's ability or career is stupid

Ignoring the mess with the Woody Allen icon,

Mariah is perfectly fine. She is still the queen of the 90's and the early 00's. Which, I don't think anyone else can say they are. This recent album was rushed in two weeks and wasn't promoted. She remains the queen.

I think it's hard for most people here to grasp how huge Mariah was in the 90s. She was everywhere. She was inescapable. Daydream was a revolution. You young gays don't understand the 90s. Mariah was 10x as talked about as Gaga was at her peak.

A beef fest for the whole country?

Y'all old gays don't seem to understand that it is no longer 1994 and the current culture of pop music no longer includes her sound or music.

At least it lasted a decade.

!

Sad but true

Mariah will be missed by many.

Mariah is still making great quality music, so why should she stop because the GP is too tasteless to care?

Mariah has already proved herself. She should continue to make music for her fans though. That's all that really matters.
