Mariah Gets Hardcore

We hope she doesn't get too gangsta on us. We Belong Together is what made Mimi's last album such a smash!

Mariah Carey is giving us a preview on what we can expect from her new album.

She tells Interview magazine:

"It's a fun record - it's been my obsession. Look, to me, that I'm able to do what I love for a living is a gift from God. I could be doing something I hate every day. Yes, sometimes it's tough because I've got to sleep 15 hours to sing the way I want to. It's not easy because my vocal chords are different than most people's. But that aside, this album has been so much fun because I'm writing with a lot different people but mainly a lot of rappers and I will bring something to the table that they wouldn't have and vice versa."

"Swizz Beats and I have been working together. He was really young when I first met him and now he's got all these Warhols - I'm like, This dude is rich! He's great. I'm really excited about a couple of songs we've done together."

"I sat in the hot tub the other night playing some songs for some friends and one of them felt that it was a very pro-woman kind of thing. And I was like, "You know what, I didn't do that intentionally." It is not that the songs are male-bashing, but she felt that it was very empowered-woman moment. I love to be able to play things for people who can listen to something rough. When I'm playing something for someone from the record company I need to perfect it a little bit more."

yawn… this old cow is still out there? How typical of her to say she is using a bunch of rappers to make herself a hot record (though I doubt it will be hot). She cant do anything for herself and she comes out sounding the most unoriginal… give it up you old cow

WHY do people call ALL Racist Rednecks? Being from the south since 1970. Family back up North are FAR more racist. My circle of friends and family (who are all white) would NEVER say the N word. But family from Philly or Chi town come in for a visit and use the word like "No Problem…just another word in my vocabulary".

Mariah is Incredible. Incredible Voice. Incredible Song Writing. I know alot of people hate on her, but guess what SHE's Still STanding. I can't wait to hear that Incredible voice on some New Material.
jennzz says – reply to this

51

She looks great in that picture,,
However,, I have noticed a huge trend lately with all these albums being full of songs they did with rappers,, or other genre music other than their own,,
Seems no artist will make a regular album these days,, they all have to have many other artist on their albums to try to drum up business from other fans who would normally not buy their cd's,,, I know madonna is getting others to sing for her,, in order to bring in new fans,,
I just find it a bit pathetic,, Can't artist these days make an cd based on their own style ?
I guess not! looks like everyone has to have everyone else on their cd's
and not just for one song,, try 10 songs!!
I'm so bored of this tactic,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

This cow is still around…..hate this dumb bitch. Her boobs are always at least 2 steps ahead of her. What this is her second attempt in wanting a more hip hop/edgy album…..please?? Take some dancing lessons while your at it…. All the hardcore rappers can't help this soon to be has been. She's better of continuing her stripper posing and showing her boobs off to the world. I remember watching her on MTV cribs and her tasteless behavior in taking a whirlpool bath….oh and that all she wears is lingerie. She's nothing but a tuna skank….

This is the same thing the critics said about her when she started working with rappers.. yet she never went so far that it did not sound like Mariah.

Wow she is back to the honey colored curly hair.. I'm sure that wanker Tommy M is getting off on her look, becasue he is trying to make his wife look like her.

She has a fuckin killer rack… proof money can make you happy.

74

I can't just hear a petty snide comment…nope. It always degenerates into racial slurs and stupidity. So go on..look at pictures and worship your idols and fling verbal shit at each other like politicians imitating monkeys. In the meantime the gases in the atmosphere are slowing eroding our ozone. Everything is contaminated. Our country is ruled by evil men..is this the legacy you want to leave your children? Grow the fuck up. I wish I could move to the wilderness somewhere and raise fucking chickens. You people are pathetic. You racists need to stick to your own kind. Assholes not humanity.

76

How are her vocal chords different than the "average person". Of course, she sings amazing, but does that mean that her vocal chords are more evolved or what?
Mike T says – reply to this

77

First off, let me set the record straight—-I am not a Mariah fan. While I liked some of her very first releases (back in 1990) I was unimpressed by her subsequent efforts. I feel she oversings & shoves her vocal range down the listener's throat. And I personally feel that she dresses like she's a piece of trash and doesn't make herself seem all that intelligent. However, I will admit that the girl has talent & can sing. Her music just isn't for me.

Now, that said, how in the world can #31 call her an 'Old Cow?' She's what…….36 or so? That's an old cow?? What in God's name are you ageist little brats out there going to do when you start getting ———-oh HORRORS——— into your late twenties? Or GASP———-your thirties? Commit suicide? Live in a cave?

Grow up. Fine, if you don't like someone but what's their age got to do with it?

First of all, being a professional opera singer, I can tell you that Miss "Mimi's" vocal range is NOWHERE near what she says it is - 2 octaves TOPS. Squawking and screeching doesn't count as "vocal range", if it did, everyone would have a 10 octave range. That started as just a marketing ploy on her part and I'm sure now she's grown to believe it. If she did have a large range, you would hear a lot more original stuff, quite a bit different from what she sings. SHe's a liar and a phony, and an idiot on top. I can't believe how many fans fall for her stupid PR which is based on ego and obnoxious self-promotion, not talent or fact. She needs another breakdown to get humbled again….she's SO pathetic and the low self esteem is obvious. Go away already!!! UGH.
The Scream Queen says – reply to this

98

I've studied vocal chords for years and I have never heard of some people having "different" vocal chords. Anyone has the possibility to sing as good, if not better, than she does — even the worst singer in the world could turn out to be the best with practice and knowledge of how to strengthen the vocal folds. She needs to start thinking before she says something like that. However, she has marketed herself and has used her voice to make millions, which that is something I will respect her for.

Britney Spears & Demi Lovato's First X Factor Critique! Listen Here!

Girls are on fire!!!

We won't get to see how the ladies did until the fall, but today in Austin, Britney Spears and Demi Lovato took their seats as the new judges on The X Factor. Someone had the foresight of smuggling in a recording device to the Texas auditions and we've got the audio from the ladies' first critique!

And you know what? They sound like old pros!

Check out the video (above) to hear Brit Brit and Darling Demi give their thoughts on the first contestant of season two!

They both sound so GOOD! Strong and confident; it doesn't sound like either of them were nervous at all!

Bravo, ladies! We can't wait to see you in action!
