I really like this plan! I think they would be fantastic singles and as well because they're basically my top three favorites of the album.

I just want some news soon. This era is absolutely dead already.

Don't worry. I bet Mariah's zombie apocalypse era is coming Everyone will hear of the revived chanteuse

Some indication that they're going to get the ball rolling would do wonders for a fan base that's basically deflated and only holding up due to the great quality of music. The thing is that while fans waited 5 years for this album, they also waited 5 years for an era that goes along with the album. Seeing her out and about, talking about the songs, and meeting fans is half the fun of it all.

Here is my review.

1. Cry - 8/10
It's a nice ballad, but I feel like it had a lot more potential. The first half of the song is perfect, but the second half goes nowhere.
2. Faded - 9/10
This is a nice
3. Dedicated - 10/10
This is a nice laid back groove. Really makes me want to ride around on a summer night.
4. Beautiful - 9/10
This song has grown on me since it was first released last year, but I still don't like Miguel's voice.
5. Thirsty - 9/10
So I thought this song was going to be a retread of Migrate with worse lyrics when I heard a snippet of it, but it actually is catchy and gets stuck in your hood.
6. Make It Look Good - 10/10
Hands down the best song on the record. Sounds like it could have been on The Emancipation of Mimi.
7. You're Mine (Eternal) - 9/10
Sounds much better as an album track. As a single, it didn't really standout, at all.
8. You Don't Know What to Do - 10/10
I liked it more when it first leaked, but it's still my second favorite uptempo from the album.
9. Supernatural - 8/10
I actually think Dembabies add to the song, especially at the end. I think that part is cute. Otherwise, I don't think it is that strong of a song. The lyrics don't really do much for me.
10. Meteorite - 7/10
I hate the intro. Sounds like she's trying too hard a la Lady Gaga. The song is alright, but doesn't do much for me. The hook does get stuck in your head though.
11. Camouflage - 7/10
The first few times I listened to this album, I couldn't even tell you what this song sounded like. It's kind of forgettable, but definitely a grower like The Wind from Emotions and Sunflowers for Alfred Roy from Charmbracelet. The intro actually sounds like a mix of those two songs.
12. Money - 8/10
I don't really see the So Into You comparisons. I was hoping for them to be true because So Into You is one of my favorite songs of all time.
13. One More Try - 10/10
This is my favorite Mariah Carey cover song of all time. It's so emotional and sad when you know it's about her miscarriage. I really like the arrangement she made and mood of her version.
14. Heavenly - 10/10
Besides for the shouting at the beginning, I find this song very inspirational. "I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me" stays with me and I find myself singing that line alone.
17. The Art of Letting Go - 10/10
This ballad is perfect. Probably my favorite piano ballad since Through the Rain (not that there has been many). It's not overproduced and I love the emotions on display through her vocals and lyrics.

I like to pretend the two Memoirs remixes and the title track don't exist.

Heavenly just SLAYED my cousin.... she was literally in tears.

HA POWAAAAHHH

Money could never be So Into You. That is one of the best R&B choruses EVER.

I think Taste of Honey should have been the feature for the "Eternal" remix

so into you? who sings that?

Really? Meteorite always reminds me of

These should be her singles for the era

June 2014: Thristy/You Don't Know What To Do
Mariah wants Thristy, Her Label wants YDKWTD, why not release them together? The label gets their wish and Mariah's oh so delicate ego won't be destroyed (let's be honest, the first week sales of this album has already put her ego on life support and it's gonna take more than Mary J. Blige's "Chicken Wraps" to fix this). Not to mention Urban and Rhythmic are playing Thristy without any radio adds issued (to the best of my knowledge) and YDKWTD could be a summer hit for the US & International markets and do well on most formats (maybe even pop radio) so why not push them?

Mid-September 2014: Faded
Faded could be a big hit (or at the very least, moderate hit) on Urban/Urban AC and Rhythmic radio. It has a nice, chill, modern sound that's perfect for the Fall season and it kinda reminds me of her previous r&b hits from the last decade, but then again, the same could be said for You're Mine (Eternal) and we all know how that little train tried and tried with all it's might but couldn't accelerate fast enough to stay on the Billboard Hot 100 trail for more than one week

Mid-December 2014: Cry.
Nothing like a good, meaningful, heartfelt ballad for the winter season. It's one of my favorite songs on the album and i think it will do well as a single (especially on Hot AC/Urban AC), if it's handled correctly.

March 2015: Meteorite
This song is everything! The production, the futuristic sound, the vocals, and lyrics are amazing and it feels like I'm on another planet. Multi-format appeal and it's an almost guaranteed smash in international markets (Especially the UK, that is if they don't disown the album by then).

Mid-June 2015: Dedicated (Ft. Nas)
This song has nice, laidback, throwback, nostalgic feel to it and Nas's verse is just icing on the cake that Mariah wants to eat so badly but can't since she wants to be just like the woman on the standard cover of her album. It would make a nice little single to end the era.

If all else fails, i'll conduct a twitter campaign to kidnap Jermaine Dupri and his team and sacrifice them to the music gods. I'll provide the drum and Mariah can bring her chicken drumsitcks. No flash photography allowed, I'm not going back to jail again.

You think the era will last longer than a year

This era will be over once the next single flops into oblivion. that Matt Lauer special had NO effect on sales. Serving Lotus/Kiss Me Once impervious to promo teas

I-I-I-I-I-I really want to hear more from you guys

Sissy I love you but let me break it down for you.

You live in Germany. I live in the US. Europe has always had more of a taste for dance-esque music than the US. Currently in the US if you release a dance song you WILL flop. This isn't unusual. Madonna's Confessions of a Dancefloor was HUGE in Europe..and in the US who cares? The Emancipation of Mimi was slaying! Right now the US only cares about piano driven ballads and trap songs and retro throwbacks. Dance is NOT THERE. Meteorite in the US would be a disaster! Trust me.

Okay, let me explain what I meant. I wouldn't want them to release "Meteorite" now as a single as "You Don't Know" is the only choice RIGHT NOW as the real third single after #B and YM(E). But what she needs in general today are catchy, light-hearted bops that get stuck in your head and that everybody can relate to.

Kind of funny that you mention Madonna's "Confessions" because I lived for more than a year in the US back in 2005/2006 (which was great because everytime you'd turn on the radio "We Belong Together" would come on ). My relatives actually sent me the "Hung Up" single then So I kind of experienced that difference between the US and European music markets myself.

But "Meteorite" is not that dance-y as Madonna was back then. It rather reminds of 2001-Kylie who managed to get a top 10 in the US with "Can't Get You Out Of My Head". I think with the right strategy and promo "Meteorite" would be the perfect fifth single (after "You Don't Know" and whatever would be fourth). It might surprise people and could possibly benefit from the throwback yet current appeal that I get from it, too.

YDKWTD is more dance than Meteorite... Meteorite has that throwback vibe that's in right now IMO.

But as it looks like we might not even get a propper third single so I am going to stop rambling about a potential fifth single smash.

I don't think JDON really expects this era to last that song. He rather pointed out the hit potential of this album, a way it could actually smash if the label, the management, and maybe Mariah herself would do things righT.

Somebody please find the lyrics to Supernatural. I can't find the right lyrics anywhere!

Her enunciation is much better on this album. What part don't you know? "Ohh, ohh, pika" is apparently "Ohh, ohh, beat go" or something but I'm not buying it
