By Ash ‘Angel’ grows on you ANY follower of Mariah Carey’s 19-year career since her first album (Vision of Love, 1990) would tell you that Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel doesn’t warm up to the listeners immediately as much as her earlier albums. It is ambitiously fresh-sounding with no pop sensib...

By Ash SUPERSTAR Mariah Carey seemed different this time. “One more time? Is that right? Did I do it right?” asked the 39-year-old singer who is also known as Mimi (her 10th album was called The Emancipation of Mimi). Oh, the horrors for Mimi.

By Ash The goal is to appeal to all of Carey’s fans. “We wanted to do an album that was really personal, and if you love Mariah Carey, you can put it on and listen to it all day,” began Tricky, “but at the same time, if you like the hot Mariah when she’s doing the features, we want to give people that option...

By Vicky Mariah Carey takes a page from the Janet Jackson playbook on her latest, meekly cooing her way through the disc’s 17 tracks.

By Ash “It’s a festive perfume.

She needs two more number one singl...

By Sara With the help of pop diva Mariah Carey, a Toronto couple took centre-stage and may have made same-sex marriage history with a public proposal in Las Vegas over the weekend. “Matthew, Mariah, Mariah, Matthew,” Sherman said. “I’m hoping that my Mariah will accept his Nick Cannon.” He said yes.

By Ash In the 90 Carey was hugely successful, but early this century, the diva’s creativity & commercial  appeal waned with the albums Glitter and Charmbracelet. A few years later she was on form again with the very solid The Emancipation Of Mimi and E=MC2.

By Kerry Winner of Billboard’s “Artist of the Decade Award,” Mariah Carey was on top of the world in the 1990s. With the most number-one singles for an artist in the United States (only behind The Beatles worldwide), Mariah has claimed the title of third best-selling female artist in music history...

By Ash Mariah Carey’s new album, “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel” has a main theme: love.

By Ash Mariah Carey’s Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, which has already spawned the much-debated hit “Obsessed,” is Carey’s latest mix of R&B, hip-hop and pop. And the singing superstar has been hearing that it’s her best album since Butterfly. “I love it. I really love it,” she told MTV News wh...

By Sara Mariah Carey, comedian? Jokes have never been Carey’s forte, but on her 12th album, she gets in touch with her funny bone, adding a cheeky marching-band coda to the thumping club jam “Up Out My Face,” threatening to out a cheating lover on national television in “Betcha Gon’ Know” (”Oprah...

By Ash With fewer danceworthy beats than recent discs and the monotonous song-to-song similarity, this winds up being a tepid, R&B lite effort that falls short of Carey’s claim that “I’m the same Mimi/Butterfly flow like Muhammad Ali” (”Candy Bling”).

By Vicky Of late though, Ms. Carey has been whispering, as if newly scared of grand gestures. In 2005 it made for a surprise success with “The Emancipation of Mimi,” one of her best-selling albums, but also one of her most deceptive. Though the melodies were straightforward, Ms. Carey was working hard...

Rating: 3.5 Stars Don’t judge Carey’s Memoirs by her latest eye-rolling title. The diva’s 12th album is neither self-indulgent nor silly. In fact, it’s one of her more focused efforts, downplaying the hip-hop and club bangers of late for well-penned, creatively produced R&B ballads...

By Kerry Mariah Carey has always had a way with words. Despite unlikely pop-song vocabulary like “alienation” appearing in hits like “Vision of Love,” her lyrics started out relatively simple.

By Ash In plenty of time for Christmas comes this back catalogue from New York’s finest Mariah Carey. There’s her smash hit duets with Boyz II Men, Westlife & Luther Vandross and, of cause, it would not be Yuletide without one more chorus of All I Want For Christmas. All together now…

By Ash In the same way that her recent single, ‘Touch My Body’, saw a slick, well-crafted approach to R&B, this does much the same. This song sounds summery, it sounds carefree… and the lack of Mariah’s oh-so-famous ’scales’ means that it is very sing-a-long-able.

By Ash Source: Bangor Daily News Grade: B+ Piercing, but in a good way.

By Vicky The darling of all divas, Mariah Carey is famous for a string of hits and albums as saccharine as the love that she sings about.

By Ash Simplicity at it’s best… Take one Mariah Carey and add just a dash of Stargate and you have a recipe for magic as Miss Carey pulls an utterly delicious track out the bag.

By Ash It’s followed by her 18 number one hit single “Touch My Body,” which broke Elvis Presley’s record of being the solo artist with the most number one singles on the Billboard chart. “Touch my Body” is a monotonous, yet blatantly sexy without being dirty track that has just the right melodious...

By Ash Source: Daily Record Rating: 3/5 THE warbling diva is back but this time she’s got competition - Leona Lewis. Mariah is only two number ones away from equalling The Beatles record of 20 American top spots - although, unlike the Fab Four’s tunes, most of us could barely name one of her songs le...

By Ash “And a lot of people didn’t know some of those hip-hop collaborations because they didn’t listen to hip-hop radio or buy remixes. So now, yes there’s a lot of hip-hop flavour, but there are definitely very powerfully sung, emotionally rich ballads.”

By Vicky Admit it- you were nervous. What if Mariah’s triumphant return to form with The Emancipation of Mimi was a flash in the pan, a one-off, a swan song, a fluke? What if the follow-up album E=MC2 was embarrassing, lacklustre, a Leona Lewis kind of record that you really wanted to like but somehow...

By Vicky The 411: Mariah Carey does best when she’s not trying so hard. E=MC2 does everything The Emancipation of Mimi did, only The Emancipation of Mimi did it better. You won’t turn E=MC2 off, but you won’t be captivated by it, as you were by its predecessor.

By Vicky Source: Friday Morning Quarterback Album Report The last time Mariah Carey and Johnta Austin collaborated, it resulted in the two biggest hits of Carey’s career with “We Belong Together” and “Don’t Forget About Us.” So it should come as no surprise that “Bye Bye” is another gem with multi...

By Felipe Source: Lower Hudson Journal news Mariah Carey clearly is searching for alternatives to the glass-shattering flamboyance of her early ’90s youth. But the new album also carries the operative message: Don’t mess with success. “E(equal)MC2″ is nearly a clone of “The Emancipation of Mimi...

By Vicky And we’re pleased to say that on E=MC2- unlike previous album, 2005’s dance and hip-hop heavy The Emancipation of Mimi- Mariah really lets her amazing voice soar. Leona Lewis, Christina Aguilera, Sharkira, Celine Dion Bye Bye Mariah still has that winning formula. 3/5

By Ash Source: The Kane County Chronicle Rating: 2 stars It doesn’t take Einstein to figure out that “E=MC2” suggests “Emancipation equals Mariah Carey to the second power.” From title to execution, it appears that Carey’s 10th album is a sequel to 2005’s “The Emancipation of Mimi,” which retu...

By Ash Mariah Carey is famous for many things, but until now, being depressing wasn’t one of them. Of course, she’s always had a certain weepy sentimentality about her. Cut through the sass and hip hop ambitions and ultimately, she’s a hopeless romantic singing about love conquering all and hear...

By Ash Somewhere at the start of the Millennium, this equation failed to add up. The Glitter and Charmbracelet era of Carey’s career represents a sticky period to say the least. Yet, on the back foot, Mariah produced one of her career highlights in the form of The Emancipation Of Mimi, and, wisely,...

By Ash On Mariah Carey’s last studio release, the phenomenally successful The Emancipation of Mimi, it seemed the production tricks were often utilized to mask any potential weaknesses in Carey’s voice. Questions were left about whether she could really hit the high notes like in the past. E=M...

By Ash Didn’t faze me in the slightest when Mariah Carey broke Elvis Presley’s record of 17 No. 1 smashes two weeks ago with her latest tease, “Touch My Body,” the sort of effervescent, subliminal soft-core porn Janet Jackson wishes she could still send sailing up the pop charts.

By Ash Source: The Houston Chronicle BEING Mariah Carey may not be a science of Einsteinian proportions. But the dynamic diva has re-created an engaging musical mix on new disc E=MC². The formula — first perfected on 2005’s slick, sassy The Emancipation of Mimi — goes something like this: equal p...

By Ash The evolution of Mariah (and The Emancipation of Mariah Carey to the Second Power) means that the 38-year-old superstar is neither a one-dimensional pop celebrity nor soulful confessionist. Mariah 2K8 creates a mood rather than overwhelming with sheer power; she gets personal withou...

By Vicky We steel ourselves for a blast of force-10 singing and ballads so overheated they leave carbon footprints, but no, Mariah Carey’s first album since her post-breakdown comeback in 2005 with The Emancipation of Mimi turns out to be a lithe exercise in R&B/hip-hop. 4/5

By Sara Source: Billboard She’s proclaimed emancipation before, but Mariah Carey’s never sounded as free as she does on her 10th album. The usual hummable radio hip-hop and bold ballads are here, in pristine form. (”Bye Bye,” a memorial for a lost loved one, is particularly effective.) But so are s...

By Sara Source: Entertainment Weekly Rating: A - Daydream. Butterfly. Rainbow. Glitter. No, those aren’t the names of Barbie’s pet ponies, they’re the ridiculously saccharine titles of Mariah Carey’s albums from 1995 to 2001. So when she called her 10th studio CD The Emancipation of Mimi three yea...

By Ash What advice do you suppose Mariah Carey will have for the “American Idol” contestants Wednesday when she appears on the show as a mentor, part of the media blitz launching the follow-up to her big comeback album, 2005’s “The Emancipation of Mimi”?

By Ash Source: The Guardian Rating: 4 Stars It is worth pondering what the title of Mariah Carey’s 11th studio album could refer to. Emancipation, maybe, in a nod to her 2005 comeback album, The Emancipation of Mimi; or perhaps the energy of the original equation, a statement that Carey still has...

By Ash Mariah Carey’s last album, 2005’s The Emancipation Of Mimi was a career high. It showed the girl from Long Island who had the world at her feet, then lost it, was back. Mariah made history with single Touch My Body last week, overtaking Elvis Presley’s total of No1 singles on the Billboard Hot...

By Ash Even more than “Emancipation,” “E=Mc2” sounds like a jukebox full of singles for the best summer party ever. “I Stay in Love” is a killer ballad, and “Wish You Well” is a gospel-tinged ode to Aretha Franklin’s “Natural Woman” that shows off the best of her range. Another track, “Bye Bye” is al...
