The Glitter whispery mode on full. She must be a racist. Those Japanese don't deserve such a cruel treatment.



And the previously leaked "Heat":

News

"Bye Bye", Mariah's second single off E=MC² has premiered on several radio stations in America on Monday.

"Bye Bye" was written by Mariah Carey and So So Def/Island Records recording artist Johnta Austin, and produced by Mariah and the Norwegian hit-making duo Stargate.

The song is already in full time rotation on some of the stations and is getting great reactions! Below is a partial list of the stations that played the song so far:

Phoenix, AZ - 104.7 KISS FM (The Jon Jay & Rich show)
Los Angeles, CA - 102.7 KIIS FM (Ryan Seacrest On Air)
Chicago, IL - B96 (Roxanne's show)
New York City, NY - WBLS (The Wendy Williams show)
New York City, NY - WKTU, 103.5 FM


"Bye Bye" Review

Nothing is ever a sure bet to be a #1 hit, but it seems like Mariah Carey's new single "Bye Bye," the second from upcoming album E=MC², is about as close as it gets. Co-produced by Stargate and co-written by Johnta Austin, one of the writers behind the mega-smash "We Belong Together," the song has a universal lyrical appeal and the instant feel of a Mariah Carey classic.

Mariah states the topic of the song upfront singing "This is for my peoples who just lost somebody." Loosely based around Mariah Carey's loss of her own father, "Bye Bye" has a universal appeal that may even bring some listeners to tears. Mariah is expected to perform the song Monday, April 14th on Oprah and again Wednesday, April 16th on American Idol.

WTF!! At least now we can assure she knows how to pick the better songs to the 'original' versions of her albums.

my radio station played HEAT (the guy called it "full heat") this morning and asked for people to call in and give their opinions, about 5 people hated it 1 person loved it. they said that might be the new Mariah single though

didnt like it at first but it sounded amazing on the radio

DJ is full of ****, obv. But on a more general note, Japanese people love cheesy pop. ALYSSA MILANO had a recording career there and Jennifer Love Hewitt actually was SUCCESSFUL as a singer in Japan. They're probably going to eat these tracks up.

i like it!

[Richard]

Not bad, at least it's a lot better than Heat... But yes, none of them would have been on the album

[Xtinaboy]

i reallly like it

[Virgin Whore]

OH MY GOD is she trying to torture these poor Japanese people? What's with these flop bonus tracks.

First Mother Goose nursery rhymes and now the creepy whispering from the Glitter era is back. Brutal PUNISHMENT! Forget Godzilla, just bring out Mimi on full force. My heart goes to the people of Japan.

[Flashing Lights]

Any rate...with the surge of downloads thanks to Idol Gives Back, looks like "Fly Like A Bird" has a pretty good chance of finally debuting on the Billboard Hot 100 after ony hitting the "Bubbling Under" at No. 104 upon its initial release in May 2006.

iTunes US:

No. 50 Fly Like A Bird (Idol Gives Back Performance)

unless some rule keeps it from doing so...?

[yerboylc3]

Ive definitely seen the album on the shelves at 3 stores now in the NY area...I was soo surprised...I was looking for Leona and this was there...I was thinking, Im pretty sure this is a street date violation....either an early billboard debut, or shes losing out on first week sales that wont end up being counted...

Mariah Carey

E=MC2

RS: 3of 5 Stars

2008

Mariah Carey embraces her extremes: She's either grinding out R&B-hop or singing syrupy ballads, talking dirty or cuddling with a Hello Kitty. Her tenth studio album is no different: It starts in a club and ends in a church. Carey tries on reggae with Damian Marley's scorching "Cruise Control" cameo, conjures a text-message title for Swizz Beatz's flute-loopy "O.O.C." ("out of control") and dials cool Seventies soul with "I'm That Chick" (where she compares herself to ice cream, Tupac and a blunt). She sounds the freshest when she fires up her Tommy Mottola resentment on the bumpy, Young Jeezy-assisted "Side Effects" and lives the high life on Danja's hard-hitting head-nodder, "Migrate," which dabs her vocal with Auto-Tune. But nearly every song confines Carey to four-note verses, offering little room for her glorious range, and the six ballads are drenched in yearbook-quote lyrics that never quite work themselves into the froth of The Emancipation of Mimi. Yet 2008's Mimi is also about redemption, and she brings it on the closer, "I Wish You Well," proving all she needs is a piano and a few Bible verses to save somebody — most likely herself.

This is better than "Heat" but still weak. Poor japanese LOL

[bobbymfw]

Wow I really must be crazy because it sounds like I'm the only person that likes "Heat", it's my favorite track off this album and it technically isn't even a part of it! I listened to the album all the way through and it's not as catchy as TEOM but it's still a very solid album. A few of the ballads ("I Stay In Love", "Bye Bye") are weak and forced IMO. "Bye Bye" sounds so cheesy!

My favorites: "Heat", "Touch My Body", "For The Record", "Lovin' You Long Time", and "I'm That Chick"

[Nick]

It's funny because people who like the album LESS tend to like the songs that I like less. (For example I'm not a huge fan of Lovin' You Long Time, but I love I Stay In Love) I think it's all an issue of musical preference, but I think the album will please her fans and a lot of others as well.

[Xtinaboy]

the album is A-W-E-S-O-M-E
there's not a bad part

She definitely brought her A-game with this one. You're right about the musical preference issue too (i.e. I really didn't care for "Mine Again" on TEOM even though it was a fan fave). I wish she chose "For The Record" as the 2nd single instead of "Bye Bye" though.

I believe that this happened to Destiny Fulfilled. It debuted at #50 before it came out in stores, plus it might take away from first week sales, but it'll add to the total.

Yes, Destiny Fufilled had a street date violation the week before it's release as well.

You wanna know what I think about the album 4Real4Real? I'm still not really into this album. I figured a few more FORCED listens would do the trick, but no.
