I love me some Mariah. And that album title is one of the most clever I have heard in a while.

just dropping in a random yet classic Mariah video

What do y'all think of the title of Mariah's CD?

Simpli Genius. a formula invented by a genius used by another genius (Mariah) to enunciate the follow up of her smash "The Emancipation of Mimi". Have you notice how emc almost sound like emanci..pation. And on top of tha it enunciates the energy this album is gonna have. Energy equals MC and Emancipation equals MC second part. It is really really an impresive smart title so fresh and new. This is gonna be GRAND... pure ENERGY.

Love it and Love Her!!! Island Records is bringing the heat with Janet and Mariah in 2008... These young girls need to get ready to see how it should be done.

title is a lot better than THAT CHICK or whatever it was gonna be first...

See told folks not 2 talk shit about MC calling her album that chick cuz it may not b true. thats y u shouldnt attack these artists until they u hear it from them. Mariah is too clever. she is the queen of r&b/hip hop music 4 real.

SHE STILL LOOK HELLA FINE AND SHE GOTTA BE PUSHIN TOWARDS 50 WOW

BACK WITA NEW TRACK "HYPHY WIFEY" CHECK IT OUT

Brilliant. I'm glad someone is still putting some thought into the product and not just dropping the first thing that pops into their head.

I really don't like the title of the album. It just doesn't really do anything for me. But MC has never really had the best album titles so I guess I shouldn't have expected anything different. The album should be hot though regardless.

I THINK ITS A GREAT TITLE. It's defintiely not predictable, its very creative for MC, probably her most creative title ever. I think that it's far more mature than rainbow, glitter, etc. What I think she is going to say is that the Energy or Empowerment (E), which she has talked about before, is Mariah Carey maximized, hence the squared part. It's like saying this is Mariah Carey times a lot more! Im really excited.

Sounds HOT... MiMi part 2... The hits will continue... ;)

I think E = MC 2 means this

E = Emancipation of

MC = Mariah Carey (obviously)

2 = Part 2

Yay!!!!!!!

no sir, the formula for mariah careys hits is (JDxCASH)+UNDER THE TABLE WORKx3= A HIT RECORD

um, for all the dumb asses out there (which is most the readers of sohh.com)

E=MC2 is not pronounced "E equals M.C. two" - so it's not a "sequel" to her 'Emancipation of Mimi' album

it's the Einstein formula... E equal MC squared...

I hope I didn't have to clear that up for many people... if so, log OFF the internet, and go back to school

I have always been a fan, even when stuff hit the fan. Love hr music and she ROCKSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

I think E=MC my ballz on her forehead.


Everybody's waiting to see if she can top her last one. I think she can, the last one had more than a few filler tracks.

Love the title. Very cute title. She better bring it too. Ain't no half stepping after all this damn BUILD UP! Stop talking and release the shit ASAP!

I just got the new Mimi track and it is hottt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just heard the Mimi track and it's HOTTTTT!

I love the song. it is classic Mimi with that soft touch of flava. Love it!

The song has already been posted at "dlisted.con". Why is it not streaming hear at sohh!? Soulman, you slippin!

OMG! "Touch my Body" is like the spark that will ignite the fire that is to come, the song is catchy as hell, I have listened to it like 12 times now and it never gets old...you can tell mariah tried something different with her singing style on this track...no trademark high note, not so many coloraturas...I love it! go M.C. 2008!

My Bad, I just saw the link. But was it that serious that you had to call me out my name? I never come here and start drama or disrespect you or your blog. You need to calm down.

Sounds like the same old shit she always does to me ...

You need to calm down.

^^^


*calming down....

the truth is she's been fuckin lucky to score emancipation after glitters

thought she was gonna commit suicide after this one, or go to tbest buy and buy all of the remaining copies

i hear the switch in her singing style, feeling it, but the beat aint all that, u got a feel of deja entendu, its not shit, but it does sound annoying

This sounds like all her other stuff. Sorry, I'm not feeling this at all, but I'm sure this will be all over the radio, while Janet's "Feedback" is barely being shown any love by radio, and it's 10 times better. I like Mariah, but she needs to come harder, or else it will be "Glitter" all over again.

The song is OK! its kinda like another "Its Like That" she will than probally release another "We Belong Together" typical Mariah, she nevers switches her style, But Yet "Feedback" by Janet is totally different from what shes done the past couple albums, and its much better than this Mariah song, but people still wanna hate on Janet and not play her shit, but its alright, we all know who the true Legend is...JANET

CO-SIGN!!!

Boooooooo, I see Janet stans feel threatened. Get it in your head, Whisper AKA Janet is over and done. Soulman is just being nice by posting anything to do with Janet. Mimi about to run shit. Janet stans mad? Well get mad!!!! "Feedback" was a foolish gay club sounding, robotic voice box, 1988 techno sounding, MESS!!!
The truth will set you free!!!!!!! I tells nothing but the truth.

Are you kidding me Soulman? U seriously had my respect for your opinions but that album title is the worst, dumbest mess I've heard in a long time and the utmost un-clever thing to be compiled into one grouping of words. And that "Touch My Body" song is AWFUL! I see Mariah is still on that Glitter/Charmbracelet stuff, guess she'll be blaming this years breakdown on Beyonce and not J.Ho.

"Touch My Body" > "Feedback"


No questions asked. I like the track a lot. The chorus is fire and it will continue to grow on me. Go Mariah! This year is yours!

----------------------------------------------

Nobody feels threatened. I'm just stating the facts. Hell, I'm not getting a royalty check from Janet or Mariah. Mariah's new song sounds just like all of her old stuff. The only thing missing is a rapper spitting a verse, like all the other stuff she puts out.I'm telling it like it is. "Feedback" is a much better song. You can talk down on Janet's vocals all day, but Mariah isn't half of what she used to to be. I'm a fan of both, but I was expecting much more from MC. After hearing this, she definitely is not That Chick.

I,m so in love with this. This has #1 all over it. I've heard it a hundred times and it sounds better and better it never gets old. I'm really impressed at how Elegant and cool this sounds. And the voice is very wise, new, fresh... this is the real NEW MARIAH

What do you think of the album title? R U serious!? Soulman's opinion of the song is curiously missing from this post. Janet might not be THAT CHICK, but when he likes what he hears he'll be the first to cosign on some ish. So what's up with that? I'm no fan of feedback, but if that song is flopping than this garbage deserves to be at the bottom of the charts as well. Tisk, tisk, Mariah, your second single better be off the chain.

I MEAN THINK ABOUT IT, YOU HAVE MARIAH CAN T-PAIN TOGETHER ON "MIGRAT", THE INDUSTRIES LEADING VOICES TODAY. WITHOUT A DOUBT, MARIAH HAS THE MOST ANTICIPATED ALBUM FOR THE YEAR 2008. I LOVE JANET TO, SHE A GREAT SYMBOL OF MUSIC. BUT BOTH HER AN MARIAHS MUSIC SHOULDNT BE COMPARED. BUT BOTH MARIAH AN JANET IS DOMINATING THE INDUSTRY NOW, AN ALL EYES ARE ON THEM. THEY ARE THE MAIN FOCUS NOW, MUTHAFUCK BEYONCE AN ALL THEM FOR THE PRESENT TIME. LOL YALL GO GET MARIAH CAREY NEW ALBUM APRIL 15, 2008. *+*KISSES*+* TO ALL YOU MARIAH FANS OUT THERE.

Mariah's new song rocks! I think Janet is sweet but her music touch has slipped.

that mariah classic was the ish back in the day, i just to play that butterfly album on repeat. but her new song is not hot is kinda wack, people who say that this new song is superior to janets new tracks are just mariahs stans, cause touch my body is not mariahs best work she can do better, like The Roof

Emancipation = Mariah Carey (Squared); the album only means that it's a more intense listening experience of mariah's new flavor which she started with her previous album, an all out creative experience for the diva of the millenium if you will...

Why are people mentioning Janet on this post. They are friends and they have totally different styles. Stop the madness. Maybe this new song will grow on me, but as of this moment, I'm not feeling it. I still have TEOM in my player. That CD will be my fav for a long time. Mariah is the shit!! That bytch won't stop for nuthin!!!

Yo mariah u on fire so take us higher...E=MC^2 brilliant title take ova 2008 Mimi its all urs ;-)

Well the truth is, this song isnt going to win any Nobel Peace prize or bring people together as one race, or heal starvation and HIV in Africa... Obviously. But C'mon, Mariah's funny as all He..
Shes still one of the most amazing voices out there and its a fun radio friendly track. She dose have a broad fan base and that mixed heritage thing that used to be a pain is now working for her, because she's not considered rap, yet a lot of R+B attention is what is making her burn up the charts as well as mainstream pop. She's just in a class that isn't clearly defined, and thats why shes so damn accesible. She doesn't try and break any new ground creatively (not really ... a little) but its always her staying current and trendy and the whole world buying in to her having her finger on the pulse of what is hot. Its kinda what I expected. I still route for her because she talks about gratitude to God more than any other pop artist I know, That IS really cool, and she is very non-traditional in that way. However, Touch My Body?
Im not sure how God feels about this blatant sexuality. Nott excatly the role model we were needing huh?
I'd like to see her do an image change with Black hair and really go for the African American thing and really "Say Something" (See Erikah Badu). Of substance. She's a little .."Light" and I dont mean skin. She's just sort of "etrnally twelve" as she's admitted. And her talent is too Big for that. She's done well, But I think shed do well to hire a consultant. That comeback was amazing! But she better watch it and not get "tired".

so typical of cheap artists these days to "sample" (otherwise known as STEALING) other people's hard work. in ten years time all the brain-dead kids of the world will confuse Einstein (*note the capital letter at the front of the name as a mark of respect*) with mariah. as an educator this sickens me to point of screaming. thank you, ms. carey for ruining for the rest of us.

p.s. this is NOT a "janet fan", i don't like her music either.

p.p.s. for the majority of posters on this tread, please, for the sake of your children, learn to spell.
