I've been holding my tongue on this, because I don't wanna get attacked, but the quality of a lot of the music has been dumbed down a bit. I won't get into all of the piano/staccato/belt the last 30 seconds over a hard beat ballads, or the annoying formula that they seem to be following for singles.....but listening to the "Bye Bye" remix just really pissed me off. I'm starting to feel like she just wants to cash in, and quickly beat the Beatles record. The fans might eat up everything she spits out, but I feel her luck is gonna run out. What happened to the Mariah who crafted completely new songs, and did a lot more, musically, than re-live past "moments" ?

Usher's "Love In This Club" (Remix) featuring Beyonce & Lil' Wayne: http://www.zshare.net/audio/1100208063ce9257/

That is quality. Don't just release something/throw your name on it, because you want more airplay. Do it because you love the song, and you think it's great.

Call me dramatic or whatever, but "Bye Bye" was the wrong single choice, and the remix is complete crap.

I had hoped that by "emancipation pt. 2" she didn't mean "cashing in". Now, I'm not so sure.

*yawns* E=mc2 is her best album since Butterfly - quality wise. image I agree the more complex and "out-of-the-winning-formula"-songs also need to be released.

Problem: You don't like the Bye Bye Remix. You prefer Usher's remix to "Love in This Club."
Solution: Purchase Usher's song. Do not purchase Mariah's.


You're welcome.

Well, if "Bye Bye" ends up stalling outside of the Top 10 on POP, I imagine you'll all be saying the same things. It already fell back down to #13 on iTunes.

Let's just wait and see what happens.

Was the other thread on the Bye Bye remix not soapbox-esque enough for you?

It's not much Mariah than the record company IMO.
As sad as it is, she has become to IDJ what she was to Sony : their CASH COW.image
Considering the health of the industry they don't want to risk anything. Hence those boring, predictable single choices that i fear will backfire.

I'm just very entertained by the fact that this person says "She is starting to choose quantity over quality" because there are like 1/2 things he doesn't like LOL.

Oh Oh Oh, the drama is unparalleled the last couple of weeks....

i understand where you are coming from. though what did you expect? mariah recorded part 2 of an album that was already fun based with a lot of loops. i went into this expecting not much to be new (even though she did w/LYLT and some others). the album isn't meant to be deep or a masterpiece.

E=MC2 may not be the best record, but it doesn't mean it's lack of quality. Come on, it used 9 months to produce it. I do believe somehow the songs are intentionally made for breaking the record, and it is a good thing. 4 no.1 singles in E=MC2, wouldn't it be amazing?

But I do agree the Bye Bye remix is not as good as I expect. And don't know why she doesn't re-sing the song. It's the second single and definitely should make a better quality remix.

I think it's one of her best albums and it definetly has some deep cuts.

My only drawback thusfar is "Bye Bye" chosen as the 2nd single, and even that isn't that horrible anymore.

I don't expect it to be another #1... some nice airplay and good sales would be enough for me.

OK so the remix is not up to par... And as for the album itself, um, I'M LOVIN IT. LOVIN LOVIN LOVIN it!

Just because every song is single worthy doesn't mean it lacks quality

We all were waiting for a track like Migrate

Side Effects is a personal and rare track

OOC Bollywood type style...

I wish you well is another example

For the Record is different from any Mimi track, the way she used the titles of all the previous efforts

I won't go any further. I just don't think we should label songs as not quality just because they are single worthy.

Alicia can use a piano in every track and SCREAM NO ONE(over and over) and people are like oh my gosh this is so GREAT QUALITY
