Memoirs....a hit or miss? Is Mariah 39yo entering the phase many once-popular divas eventually enter – declining relevancy? (Would welcome the opportunity for a debate regarding age, digital era and popularity and please.. be polite!) Thanks.

I don't think her relevancy is declining. 2009's music field isn't just as good as the music status of 2007 and 2008.

I hope this album has a lot of longetivity in the USA.

H.A.T.E.U , Betcha Gon Know, Angels Cry, and Up out my face, if singles they will help the album sell.

Ribbon would be another excellent single.

Naw it should be. Up Out My Face then Angels Cry.

i'm sure up out my face will be a single , it would be a great follow up to HATEU, so it would be releases it january?

I would love to see Ribbon, Up Out My Face, and Angels Cry to get released as the next singles.
Angels Cry to close off the era.

Ribbon and Inseparable Up Out My Face and The Impossible are the other songs on this album that are the most radio friendly Inseparable would smash on radio cuz it's just so catchy

I forgot about Inseparable! You're right. The song is very radio friendly.
However, I'm not sure about The Impossible. For some reason, I skip it all of the time.
But the reprise is better.
I just hope her label chooses the right upcoming singles and not let it flop completely. I want it to sell over a million!

I can't believe how underrated this album is. When will it be released in the UK?

November 16

Mariah is scheduled to tape an appearance for The Ellen DeGeneres Show in Stage 1 at Warner Bros. Studios (4301 W. Olive Avenue) in Burbank, California on Tuesday, November 3rd.

Mariah's appearance on Ellen will air on Wednesday, November 4th. Check for local listings here.

and that's why i love the impossible that reprise gets me every time...even if i don't listen to the whole song i always listen to the last minute til the reprise....but im still holding out hope for Inseparable as a single

I think she should release Up Out My Face.

Standing O, Up Out My Face and Its a Wrap

Please.

I THINK everything she releases from this album will flop and she should take a 1 to 2-year break and make another comeback.

^^ But Obsessed was a hit though.
