Memoirs has only one commercial song on it and the album is more for the fans.

Tell me why she made this album target/ iTunes Only?! Those albums tend to not sell as well as they potentially could..?

yeah i think she should settle down
with nick and have a baby and then do a comeback
later on....

it's a really dumb idea because it's almost
as if her label is setting her up to fail on purpose:-/
i think this will do really badly because christina
aguilera's last album was a target album too and she
sold only 70,000 in her first week with a top 10 hit,i
think mariah will do much worse than that

Her label is getting paid by Target to have the album exclusively sold there and she knows it'll flop.

I guess thats true but still. Standing 0 could've done as well as Obsessed

[greenoz]

Maybe she want to break the record of the artist who had too many albums released

[MusicTalker]

3 albums in 20 mnths. She's oversaturating the market.

Other reason for her downfall is her dumb ass husband.

I agree with your first part but Christina's album was a GH album and did VERY well for that considering how TSC did with 3 hitting #1. Through a Target exclusive Mariah will be able to gain some profit instead of losing money and being embarassed.

well she will probably still laughed at
and embarassed if it has really bad sales because
that's what people do when albums don't do well:-/

Well look at how bad she has been doing since she married him. Yes Obsessed was a hit but she hasn't gotten a #1 hit ever since she married him and lost the respect she had in TEOM. I'm not hating just saying why I think ppl aren't appealed to her anymore.

Disagree. She needs to get on with the program & stop surrounding herself with 'Yes, Mariah' people.

It's about time all Lambs send a petition and demand her to put out records that public want to listen NOT something Mariah wants to make..

Do you think she gets a lot of creative control over her songs...?

Of course she does. And no one is allowed to go to the studio when she was recording, except herself and the sound engineer.

[MusicTalker]

Oh wow she gets a ton of creative control then! but something's not working here...

I think its the way she did it, and his age might have something to do with it as well. lol

[beyoncefan1]

Yeah and him getting involved in her career is killing even more tho I will admit the UOMF video is good. But it's just career suicide just like when Jermaine got into Janet's career. Damn assholes killed my ladies' careers.

As a supportive husband, I think he's trying to "help" with her career when he's actually hurting it. I mean they're a good couple, they just need to keep work seperate.
