I have two feelings regarding TAOLG being an international bonus track:
Good, a new fresh track can take it's place.
Darn, I wanted it on a physical disc.
I think she'll leave it on the main listing, but we'll see.
Also, that interview pretty much confirms those speculations regarding issues with her Def Jam. She wants to handle this album her way, but at the same time she knows she's not very business savvy and would rather, as she put it, "hand the album over." but, of course, Def Jam won't just take it and DO it- they need to have a say.
Papelpop: Do you plan to return to Brazil? Perhaps to make the tour of this album?
Mariah Carey: I hope so. YES! I'd love to go on tour with this album. The only thing that is happening ... I told them I did not want to playback, but, as always, people think they can run over me and do what they please. They live on some other planet I do not know. (Laughs) But that's my album and I have control over it in the contract, so ... [Mariah interrupts the interview because her friend sitting behind us, decided to take pictures with flashes of her cell]. Stop it? [Asks Mariah, all fluff].
But you could describe the new album in three words?
[Mariah apparently still angry because of the picture and pretends she does not hear my question].
I've heard it was released and I am very excited to know the rest ...
Thank you, dear, some of the things you are hearing may not end up going on the album. That is why ...
SERIOUS?
Yes, that's why people need to wait. And this is very annoying because I'm like, look, when I'm making an album, I make music. Sometimes it seems totally obvious, but [Mariah starts making a pose for photoshoot on the sofa and is talking as if paralyzed because she realized that her friend went around the room and now Mariah appears in the photo that the colleague insists on taking] . I do not know if I should do this pose. Neither is a good pose.
I really wanted these photos then you can not send me?
[Mariah ignores me because she prefers to talk to the girl who takes the photo] I do not know why I did it. I do not know if it's a good pose. You have to let me know, darling! [Says to her friend photographer]. Do not do it. Otherwise I can not concentrate on what I'm saying. I feel when I have someone taking pictures.
So ... Can we get back to what matters?
Important issue: the album. So ... If we make a journey to the past. Let's think of the album "Daydream". He had "One Sweet Day", "Always Be My Baby" ... and ...
Fantasy!
Exact [Mariah pops finger]. And before also has "Music Box" that had "Dream Lover", "Hero", "Without You" ... With all these albums, I knew what would be the first single. I knew it was there and it was obvious. But this new album we have not [snaps her fingers again] could highlight some songs. Until the time of "Honey", it was a risk because I had just left my ex-husband, who commanded the record company.
You're talking about Tommy Mottola ...
Honey, I can not believe I'm talking about the word ex-husband, I have an ex-husband. This is so bizarre. Soooo bizarre (laughs).
It happens in the best families ...
Yes, I know, but I did not think would happen to me. But "whateveeerrr"!
So you feel that this album does not have a powerful single to be released?
Absolutely. Exactly. Why do I still ... Look, is this ... I was recording "American Idol." Before that, I was having babies. Two children. There have been many experiences in life. I dislocated my shoulder while filming the video for "Beautiful", the lead single. But it was the remix video and do not know how it happened. I fell and my shoulder was delocado. Died of pain. And then they put the shoulder in place and he went out again. And put new ... (laughs) It still hurts and I'm still healing.
Changed my avi. So over her ass I will wait when whenever it releases.
That one forum that is dragging her is rightfully so she keeps playing and wont give a damn date.
I am fuming at least Sam Smith has something coming out and I know it will release.
