Posted July 21, 201212 yr I can finally announce to you that my new single is coming out early August! It's called TRIUMPHANT (Get 'Em) ft. Rick Ross & Meek Mill. I wrote TRIUMPHANT when I was going through a difficult time & it helped me get through it. When you hear it, pay attention to the message and the lyrics. #WIN :wub: :w00t: :cheer: :heart: :yahoo: :dance: Edited July 21, 201212 yr by Neil

July 21, 201212 yr Obviously going mental for this. I know loads of reports say she's doing Idol, but after what she said about X-Factor when Britney joined? I don't think so. Plus, recently Nick said it wasn't true because they couldn't afford her. :lol:
July 21, 201212 yr If she was a smart businesswoman she'd do it. It's still the highest rated show on TV and frankly her career is in the doldrums right now.
July 22, 201212 yr Hmmm I see what you mean, but I think it would cheapen her a bit maybe? As much as Britney is splashed all over the tabloids, there was still something quite mysterious about her because she's somebody you don't really see that much in terms of being on TV or doing interviews... Now she's gonna be on TV every week for months, I think it takes a bit of the mystery away from her - and I think the same would happen to Mariah. Even though her last couple of albums have hardly set the world alight, I still think she commands a bit of stroke.
July 22, 201212 yr Hoping for something like 'It's Like That'. Can't wait. Yes, I'd love that!! I'm excited for the song anyway.

Even though her last couple of albums have hardly set the world alight, I still think she commands a bit of stroke. I agree with this but at the same time it's so easy to look at the positives. I still think Mariah could quite easily get a hit off her own back if she has the right song but Idol would make it so much easier. J-Lo's career is beginning to flounder again but it's still such a huge improvement on where she was pre-Idol. A massive hit in 'On The Floor', another decent sized one in 'Dance Again' and so many endorsements, she is more relevant than anyone thought possible prior to Idol. I would expect Mariah to get a longer lasting boost than Jennifer (although why I expect that I'm not entirely sure - gut feeling I guess), but if she flops then she's only hurt her reputation. It's a risk but the rewards are there. Anyway, excited for the song of course. 'Obsessed' is still quite a jam and if she can make something of that quality again I'll be on board.
July 22, 201212 yr 'Obsessed' is still incredible, it really deserved so much more success than it got. I really hope she has similar success to 'The Emancipation of Mimi' with this era. I'm not massive fan of her, like I wouldn't sit through an album of her but I've loved most singles since the late 90s/early 00s. I also love how ridiculous her album titles are and she is a fabulous personality. :wub:!
July 22, 201212 yr OMGEXCITE. Obsessed was an actual gem, easily one of her best and showing she can still churn out the amazingness years on! She's a bit of a hit and miss album act tbf, I like a few of them but they can be awful. Excited for Triumphant, hope it's something like Obsessed crossed with a bit of It's Like That. She could easily get a hit with it if it goes right, Obsessed would have done it if it wasn't released in the bigges mess of a way possible!
July 22, 201212 yr Looking forward to hearing this! "Obsessed" is probably my favourite song of hers (bar "All I Want..."), and I actually thought Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel was quite strong once you take the interludes etc. out. The two rent-a-rappers won't add anything I'm sure, but there'll probably be a version without them so that's all good.
July 22, 201212 yr Yeah. The release of 'Obsessed' was disastrous. Didn't it get put on iTunes and got as high as #15 or so, before being deleted a couple of hours after and then a fake one got really high too, but they didn't officially release the song until 'I Want To Know What Love Is' was being released (with the album!), so all momentum for that track had passed!
July 23, 201212 yr If she was a smart businesswoman she'd do it. It's still the highest rated show on TV and frankly her career is in the doldrums right now. Can't see it hurting her career! In fact i think it would be a win win situation!
July 23, 201212 yr She seems to have confirmed herself for Idol? Mariah Carey @MariahCarey It's gonna be so much fun working on @AmericanIdol. As a singer-songwriter, I'm excited to help find and nurture new talent. LYM! --MC Expand Reply Retweet Favorite
July 23, 201212 yr Aye, confirmed :D http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/ustv/s91/ameri...idol-judge.html Very good decision by Mariah! Hopefully it'll get her back out there again, plus her being on a huge TV show will have lots of potential for special Mariah moments.
