Wow, Mariah has done way better than I could have imagined. Congrats to her

Kate, easily.

No, not at all. I just like the way you have set a definite time scale of when you approve that she could tour. It's not just that post anyway, I was refering to you in general.

Haha, Lisa Scone-Lee and what's the other one? OH yeah 'the wine has scone to my head' LOL.

Well I'm loving The Feeling at the minute, so them.

To be honest, if I was Britney I would have prefered it when they were calling me a trainwreck than them all taking pity upon me, like now.

I love the way you truly believe you know everything.

Yep. I read somewhere that the MC stands for Mariah Carey obviously and the E is for Emancipation, the ² being for the second installment. Nothing is confirmed though and I'm sure Mariah will give us some ellaborate story about how she came up with the name and what it means, no doubt that none of us will understand :lol:

With 6 hours of airplay as well! :P Well I haven't commented on the single yet, but I love it. It's totally different to what I was expecting. Admitedly, when I first heard it I was like 'wtf is this :???:' but it gets better with each listen for me. I love the slutty lyrics of it :P, but I do think they could have been improved in places (why mention YouTube?). The ending is the best for me though, I love everything about the last minute or so. Bring on the video and some live performances! :D

I'm not sure if I can add anything else to the list of great singles recomended to you already but you should try 'Prisoner', 'I Only Wanted', 'After Tonight' and 'Subtle Inviation', album tracks but amazing nonetheless. Oh and her duet with Brian McKnight, 'Whenever You Call'.

Haha, yeah I read this on Popjustice but this is the only picture I could find of it :( http://d.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com//xp/pressass/1920036119.jpg

You didn't miss much :(

Two of Sophie's best, but I say Take Me Home

They are only playing one date in Birmingham, on the 23rd.

The Carling Academy, where she is playing in Birmingham, holds 3000, but Sophie was playing in Academy 2, which is upstairs and holds around 400 people. Two of my friends work there and they found out that she sold 127 tickets, which is really bad. They still don't know it's cancelled though. It's still listed as March 14th on their website and I emailed them and asked and they replied saying as far as they know it's still going ahead. Very strange.

Well at least she was in the media for something. People might remember who she is and download something by her. Thanks Posh :P

Looks like we won't be hearing this for a long while now :angry:

Yeah, apparently it's not true. I did read somewhere that Get Over You was offered to Kylie first and she turned it down and then it was offered to Sophie but she also turned it down. Then Sophie done some rewriting of the lyrics and recorded it. She rewrote it because she thought it was too similar to her older singles, I'd like to know what it sounded like before then because it's pretty much the same as Take Me Home and Murder on the Dancefloor - not that that's a bad thing.

Just a reminder - this is tonight!

I didn't like it at first, but now yes. It is easier I guess. It's just that I miss not being able to see the most recent post in the forum because it means I miss a lot of things in forums that I don't go on a lot, for instance I missed the topic on Christina's birth because I don't check her forum regularly.

33, but I still think it would work better with my suggestion :P

I'm so annoyed at this. What stopped her from touring twice? She could have done the March tour and then toured again in October to support the Greatest Hits if it's that important to have a tour to support it. I'm guessing it was due to low ticket sales, but so what? She's doing small venues anyway (the Birmingham one hold about 250/300), so what's the problem :angry:

I really think it would work better if the alphabetical order of them went down the page instead of across, easier to read I think.

Some more reviews: Last night in a central London hotel theatre, Def Jam head L.A Reid invited a very exclusive VIP audience to hear the new albums from both his 2 top divas Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey. With stringent rules laid down at the top of the evening about not leaving the room for a bathroom visit, handing over all gadgets and returning song word sheets we knew it was about to go down. Beginning with Janet's new material which sees Janet reworking her old sounds from the days of Velvet Rope and Control, Janet's material was quite sexually overt and a little gross ("real heavy like my first period"!) but it was really Mariah's new material that blew everyone away. Mariah's new album, tentatively titled That Chick, saw collaborations with T Pain, Young Jeezy and Damien Marley with production by her long time friend and producer Jermaine Dupri, Will I Am, Rodney Jerkins and The Dream. The new music with catchier hooks and melodies than ever, even sees Mariah taking on an exciting new musical adventure where she sings in Jamaican patois on her Damien Marley duet "Cruise Control" where she references "dramas" and "baby mamas" and like your favorite rap star Mariah throws down a new Mariahism ("you love yourself some me!") soon as the album gets into the public domain. Urban music lovers in the house were really excited about that track as well as hip-hop banger "Heat" produced by Will I Am, "For Real,For Real", and "Migrate" where 2007's hit man T Pain hooks up with Mariah but it was the title track "That Chick" with its double entendres which includes a tip of the hat to Michael Jackson with references to his "Of The Wall Classics" that had pop chart taste makers excited claiming it was the number 1 track on the album closely followed by likely international pop hit "Love You Long Time". In typical Mariah fashion there were the legendary ballads "Love Story" and tear jerker "Bye Bye" (an ode to people who have passed away) that will have reality pop contestants singing away for decades to come! One track titled "O.O.C" summed up the night and the return of Mariah - once the albums out it's gonna be "Out Of Control!". To recap, here are the confirmed tracks from the new, tentatively-titled Mariah Carey album, That Chick: • "Touch My Body" • "Migrate" ft. T-Pain • "Heat" • "For Real, For Real" • "That Chick" • "Cruise Control" ft. Damien Marley • "O.O.C" • "Bye Bye" • "Love Story" • "Love You Long Time" Mariah Carey - That Chick Their old diva (in terms of contract, not age, of course) is Mariah, who is riding high after the 7xPlatinum-selling Emancipation Of Mimi. We got to hear 10 tracks from the follow-up, That Chick, which I have to say sounded more polished and commercial than Janet's effort. One track in particular is set to make big bucks, and that's Bye Bye - a torch song for people "who lost they grandmothers". I guarantee that Simon Cowell will be sick of hearing badly-realised auditions of it by the end of the year. Lyrics were never Carey's strong point, mind you, so her paean to loss is summed up with not-very-insightful Hallmark platitudes like "I'd give the world to see your face" and "Life goes on". Profound, eh? Still, at least it's better than when she desperately attempts to prove how bang up to date she is. In Touch My Body, she purrs to her lover: "If there's a camera up in here then I best not catch this flick on youtube (youtube)". Not exactly the sexiest boudoir come-on you've ever heard, is it? But there are plenty of good tunes to counter the awesomely bad lyrics. Migrate, about a night out with Mariah while she wears jeans ("yeah, they fit", she informs us) is sure to be a candidate for heavy MTV rotation, although I hope to God they excise T-Pain's hopelessly strained vocals. Lovin' You Long Time, meanwhile, is a strutting uptempo number very much in the style of It's Like That. So, what have we learnt from this listening "event"? Well, I wasn't overwhelmed by the music - despite (or perhaps because of) the fact it was played so ear-splittingly loud that it felt like I was being punched repeatedly in the ears by a cyberman. Both artists have turned in a tuneful, competent set of R&B songs, but I'm not sure that any of them have the charisma or vitality to compete with the Rihannas and Beyonces of this world. Both albums: 6/10 (scores may go up or down after further listens at levels tolerable to the human ear).
