And Mariah is so good with keeping up with what is popular and very at-the-moment, so maybe that's why people think she's putting out mediocre stuff... because mediocrity is what is selling these days  But really, if MC had kept going in the adult-contemporary direction of the days of "old Mariah," her career would've been over by now. That era was very much dead and gone after Butterfly. |
I agree 100% with your second paragraph, but in reference to the first one, I think Rainbow>Glitter>Charmbracelet>Emancipation. I just personally found Emancipation to be selling out, but that's just because I was so used to the old Mariah, not "Mimi". E=MC2 is actually sounding a lot better than I expected now that I've heard the previews on Amazon, but no tracks seem to be amazing.
