Mariah - E-MC+2

This is really quite a good album you know. I think its better than Mimi so its a shame it never echoed Mimi's success.

What are people's favourite tracks from it? the problem I think was the release of all the wrong singles. Migrate, Side Effects and For The Record should have all been released as singles.

It is underrated. No idea why it didn't match Mimi either but I think Touch My Body was the wrong choice to lead the album. It should have been Migrate.

Angel is a terrible album though. I think it came too soon off the back of E=MC to be honest.

Migrate should've been a single. Side Effects, Cruise Control, For The Record were really good. It was an okay album, ruined by the bad decisions. It's like her label have no idea what to do with her.

I think as all artists get older they have to learn how to appeal to a current crop of teens and it isn't easy. I mean I doubt Rihanna will still be getting number 1's in ten years for example. Its just the way it goes.

Migrate, TMB, ISIL and Side Effects are my favourite tracks.

I love this album, it wasnt as successful as Mimi because Mimi was her big comeback after Charmbraclet flopped so people waited quite a long time for it. I do love "ill be lovin u long time" and for the record but she just didnt release and promote the songs from the album.

Memoirs was not a bad album the only reason why it didnt do that good was because she didnt release the best songs off the album like "Its a wrap" and "betcha gon know".

One word... Migrate :sleep:

Possibly one of the best Mariah songs of the 00s and it's just stuck on an album never to be heard by the masses

Side Effects was also fantastic. They simply promoted the album with the wrong singles...

It was a good album and deserved to do better. It did well in the first few weeks but then Mariah got married and all the promotion seemed to stop for a few months. Touch my body was not strong enough to sell the album, bye bye was probably not the best ballad to release as a second single but had it been promoted better the album would have sold more. By the time Mariah decided to work on promoting the album all the interest in it was gone.

I really like memoirs and think it suffered a lot due to poor management. Obsessed was a great lead single and did well in the US despite it's lack of promotion. The gap between obsessed and the second single was too long about 4 months. Plus the second single didnt get released until about a week before the album dropped and the video took about 2 months to come out. Obsessed wasnt even released in the UK and was just put on itunes in other countries. I want to know what love is was the wrong choice as a second single in the US, and killed all the momentum that obsessed had created. Even Mariah herself didnt want to release I want to know what love is. The album was not released in the UK until 2-3 months after it had been released in the rest of the world, which was really silly. Plus the European and Asian and Australian promo was not done until several months after the album had been released, which was a bit pointless at that stage.

I haven't listened to this in years and it ranks among my least favourite of hers. It totally lacked any strong ballads and didn't hang together well as an album. On the other hand MOAIA had the opposite problem in that as an album to play straight through it was really good but it didn't have many individual highlights.

I only know "i'll be lovin u long time" from that album and while I really like it, there's something unfinished sounding about the production and the video really put me off.

I like this album

I love

I'm that chick, Love story, side effects and of course Touch my body and Bye Bye

Bye bye deserved to be bigger. I think the 3rd and 4th single choices were very poor and i felt that was why this album sold as low as it did. 2 million copies and 1 million of that was in the US alone and apparently just 150k here.

I really liked this album as well, and I wasn't (and wouldn't even call myself now) a fan of Mariah.

I loved the songs Touch My Body, Bye Bye, Lovin' U Long Time, Heat, 4real4real...

Migrate and Heat are two of my favourite MC songs. Can't believe she released the trash that was Touch My Body over these.

Bye Bye is an okay track but deffo not single material. Migrate would have been a hit, especially in the U.S.

Not a patch on Mimi - Memoirs is also better, Migrate, I'm That Chick and Side Effects are awesome however...I wish the (Pepsi???) track Time of Your Life made the album in full length - E=MC2 was seriously lacking uptempo songs
