February 22, 200817 yr whoa.. imagine shake it off as a 1st single :mellow: Not necessarily a bad thing, considering that Shake It Off performed better than Mimi's actual first single It's Like That. :P Shake It Off would have been #1 had it not been stuck at #2 behind We Belong Together. :arrr:
February 22, 200817 yr oh did it? well its like that is such a better song and comeback song then SIO :P
February 22, 200817 yr Would it have been #1 as the original first single, tho? Perhaps, we'll never know to find out. It definitely would have outperformed ILT in the US though, not in the UK however.
February 23, 200817 yr I've never understood the Shake It Off hate. :( It's also my favourite TEOM single (with WBT and GYN not so far behind) and it's a fabulously simple, catchy song. One of her best! ^_^
February 24, 200817 yr I remember "Say Something" was going to be the lead single. I liked that song, but I'm glad it got changed.
February 25, 200817 yr Shake It Off is my favourite EOM single :wub: You made me a siggy for it, remember? :P I remember "Say Something" was going to be the lead single. I liked that song, but I'm glad it got changed. Considering it peaked at #79 in the US and #26 (?) in the UK i'm VERY pleased they changed that. :lol:
February 25, 200817 yr You made me a siggy for it, remember? :P Was she like strutting in a red dress? ;o
February 25, 200817 yr #27 :P It had a terrible video. Watching it back still makes me think WTactualF. :(
February 29, 200817 yr A song with T-Pain? Hmm... He's not oh so bad, but I'd love something between Mariah + Flo-Rida.
March 8, 200817 yr Fan review of Mariah's pre-recorded live special for BET, to be aired soon in the US: MARIAH CAREY'S E=MC2 BET SPECIAL REVIEW Four points to begin: 1. Mariah is HILARIOUS From the second she came out on stage, Mariah was crackin jokes. Before she came out she was teasin the audience with a few notes here and there, and when she finally came out and strarted "Migrate," she stopped early on and said "Hold up, stop! I'm sorry... but how in the Sam Hill am I supposed to do this without my sangers..." pointing out the fact that her backup singers were not yet on stage. Then, when they had to restart "Migrate" due to technical difficulties, Mariah goes, "My name is Mariah Carey, and I am a professional. I promise!" Also, during one of the songs she took off her sunglasses and handed them to a girl. She later explained the sunglasses were given to her personally by Roberto Cavali and that the girl better like them. When asked if she could give someone her ring, so responded, "I would, but, I'm not THAT crazy...". Mariah also does a phenomenal Russian accent, and was really lighthearted and funny through all the production and work. 2. Mariah sounded BETTER THAN SHE HAS IN SOME TIME Mariah told the crowd she had a cold, and even started coughing at the end of "We Belong Together," yet somehow sounded INCREDIBLE. We all know the Mimi Era live performences were not her best, nor was the Mimi Tour for that matter, but Mariah not only belted the sh*t out of it when she had to, but it seemed a lot more effortless and easy for her. Her voice sounded extremely clear and strong. Best since the Charmbracelet Tour. 3. Any of the new songs could be Number Ones The songs are extremely catchy, but very original and refreshing. Migrate and That Chick were defintiely my two favorites. 4. Mariah looked INCREDIBLE That body is looking toned and sexy, and her ass and thighs are astonishing. It's funny how much more comfortable she is on stage when she's in great shape, because she wasn't doing any of those awkward poses to look slim, she was just having a great time and it looked so natural. Set List: 1. MIGRATE (featuring T-Pain) This song is THE HEAT. Wow, Mariah has never done a song with a hiphop beat this hot, and she rides it confidently and perfectly. The song starts off with the trademark highnotes, and launches into a hard beat and the sings over. The song is extremely melodic, and by far one of her best uptempos in some time. T-Pain came out as a surprise guest and tore it up. This will be a single very soon. 2. TOUCH MY BODY This was Mariah's first time performing "Touch My Body," and she did a great job. She really seemed amused by the audience's love of the "I will hunt you down" line. Then, at the end MARIAH GOT DOWNNNN and did a funny little dance with two of the dancers. You'll have to see it to understand but it's great. 3. SHAKE IT OFF One of two "oldies" from the Mimi album, Mariah did well but this song really isn't that fascinating live. The crowd wasn't as into it, but it was performed very well. 4. LOVE STORY This song starts off with SADE (Rachel's daughter) and her two little friends singing backup on stage. The song is in the vein of We Belong Together and Don't Forget About Us in the sense that it's a ballad with a strong beat, but other than that it stands on its own. Mariah describes a love story and mentions how it's not like in the movies or "Casablanca" and there's some FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC belting at the end that sounds great. My least favorite of the three, but a GREAT song and could definitley be a single later on. 5. THAT CHICK This song is BANGIN. Much like Migrate, this is one of the best uptempos Mariah has ever done. The song has been described as disco, and it really really is. They even had disco balls on the screen behind her while she sang it. The song is extremely catchy, she talks about having different flavors like icecream, and does indeed sound a lot like Ne-Yo's "Because of You". Absoultely has to be a single. 6. WE BELONG TOGETHER Even though we've seen a million WBT performences, I really enjoyed this one because Mariah really seemed to enjoy it. During the belting she was flailing her arms around old-school style, which was great. Like I said before, she started coughing right after the final note, but other than that she sounded great.
March 11, 200817 yr looks like 3 big singles are coming stronger than TMB, she just needs two from this album to go to #1 to break elvis' record.
