Why did Almost Home flop? Seriously, nowadays your name needs to be Rihanna or you need to promote your ass off for a song to receive some ****ing attention. Watch Mariah releasing single after single til one of dem picks up and smashes and then acts like the other songs don't even exist. Triumphant who?
Anyway, I expected much more from her on American Idol. She gives very good critiques, looks amazing and all, but she's not really doing this with her "heart". It comes across as if she's just here to cash in dat money and do what she's contracted to do. Nevertheless, I still really enjoy seeing her on a weekly basis and I hope she gets her ass back in the studio in no time to finish off the new album. She needs to channel some classic 'ol Mariah and I think she could definitely have success with that again. No gimmicks, no trend-hopping, just a beautiful mesmerizing melody and her 5-octave voice.
