Music Video Premiere: MC's "100%"!

The video for Mariah Carey's "100%" has premiered. The clip was shot on a leg of her "Angels' Advocate" tour and intertwines scenes from the American Olympic Team. All proceeds from the song go towards raising money for Team USA. Peep the clip below and let me know what you think!

I'm truly perplexed by this song. It's a great vocal with meaningful lyrics and a nice piano production, the magic of JD and Mr. Cox never ceases to amaze me. I'm hoping this will do well on the charts for Mariah's sake. What do you think of the song/video?

MC's "100%" gets released!

After costarring in 'Precious', Mariah Carey went on to write a soundtrack for the film in the form of "100%". The track was later replaced by Mary J. Blige's "I Can See In Colour" and consequently, "100%" was never released. Now, after a few months, the track is said to be getting an official release, with a music video being filmed at one of Mariah's recent concerts and the track appearing on iTunes yesterday. Mariah also hinted at the possibility of the track being used at the upcoming Winter Olympics.

Peep the official cover of the album above and listen to the track below and let me know what you think!

I really like this song. It's commercial and has a great message. When Jermaine Dupri, Bryan Michael Cox and Mariah get together they always seem to create something special. With an official release, I'm wondering if this track will give "Memoirs" a much needed boost. If the track was included on the upcoming "Angels' Advocate" release and performed relatively well on the charts, perhaps we can see Mariah back where she should be, at #1 breaking records! What do you think of the track?

Mariah preps "Angels' Advocate"!

Mariah Carey will release an official remixes album of "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel". The album has been titled, "Angels' Advocate" and will be released on 23 February. It features collaborations with Mary J. Blige, R. Kelly and Ne-Yo and is preceded by the singles, "Angels Cry (Remix)" and "Up Out My Face (Remix)". I'm quite excited to hear the tracks and I'll definitely be picking up my copy on 23 February, will you?

Mariah Carey performs "It's A Wrap"!

In what comes as a bit of surprise, Mariah Carey stopped by the George Lopez show to perform "It's A Wrap" from her latest album, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel". Peep the performance below and let me know what you think!

I really enjoyed this performance. I thought Mariah really showcased some of her signature vocals and shutdown any doubts of her ability to still perform live. While I'm a bit confused as to why she chose this song to perform, it was refreshing to hear another track from the album. What did you think of the performance?

Mariah Carey Shoots "Angels Cry" & "Up Out My Face"!

With a release date of 23 February, Mariah Carey has begun filming the videos for two singles off of her upcoming remixes album. Peep pictures from the "Angels Cry (Remix)" feat. Neyo video below and from the "Up Out My Face (Remix)" feat. Nicki Minaj video above and let me know what you think!

Both videos look like winners and to say I'm excited to hear the remixes of the tracks would be an understatement. Lets hope this gets the "Memoirs" project some much needed attention!

Mariah Carey Update!

While "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" has fallen off the charts, Mariah Carey still continues to promote the album recently announcing the release of not one, but two remix albums due in February. One is said to be dance orientated while the other will rely heavily on collaborations from some of today's hottest artists. The first single to be released from the collaborations album will be "Angels Cry (Remix)" which is said to feature Neyo and will be released on 4 January.

In other news, an official tour, "Angel's Advocate" has been announced. The tour is relatively short and will see Carey visiting only 19 cities. I think that's probably a great idea, her voice is no longer strong enough to support a long tour. Tidbit: What I'd do for a VIP Meet & Greet Package to the Madison Square Garden show is unthinkable!

MC: H.A.T.E.U. Video!

Mariah Carey gets her beach on in the video for "H.A.T.E.U.", the latest single to be released off her flop album, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel". Peep the Brett Ratner directed clip below and let me know what you think!

Out of all the videos that these two have done together, "H.A.T.E.U." definitely tops the boring list. It frustrates me when a single which has potential is not given proper promotion and therefore suffers badly on the charts. I don't think the Memoirs Remix album is going to help much either.

Mariah Carey continues her promotion in Europe for "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel". Peep her performance of "I Want To Know What Love Is" on the UK's This Morning below.

Mariah Carey on GMTV!

Mariah Carey is in Europe currently promoting the release of her album, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel". Watch the diva perform the second single from the album, "I Want To Know What Love Is" below and let me know what you think!

I have my doubts as to whether or not this was live. Tidbit: How random was it that no one clapped at the end?

Mariah Carey on Alan Carr!

Mariah Carey has been in the UK promoting her album, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel". Peep her appearance on the Alan Carr Show below where she gave a brief interview and performed "I Want To Know What Love Is".

That was a great performance and a refreshing interview! It's nice to see the laid back side of Mariah.

Mariah Carey: "H.A.T.E.U." Live on Letterman!

Mariah Carey is back on the promotional rounds for "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel". She recently visited David Letterman where she performed the latest single from the album, "H.A.T.E.U.". Peep the performance below and let me know what you think.

Mariah's either getting very good at lip-synching or she got her vocal rest the night before. What a great performance, besides the little slip up at 2:25 - 2:27 I would probably say this is her best live rendition of the song yet. I also wouldn't hesitate in saying that this performance is probably 100% live (yes, I don't think the whistles were lipped). Again, props to the background singers (Trey Lorenz, Mary Ann Tatum and the other one, haha). Tidbit: I forgot about the diamond encrusted microphone and stand, it's so OTT but so Mariah!

Mariah Carey: I Want To Know What Love Is Video!

The video for Mariah Carey's second single, "I Want To Know What Love Is" from her latest studio album, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" has finally debuted. Peep the Hype Williams directed clip below and let me know what you think!

This brings the YAWNS. I was expecting much more than a CGI performance clip from a Carey/Hype video collab. Let's hope the Brett Ratner directed clip for "H.A.T.E.U." premieres soon and is a bit more exciting than this one.

Mimi: I Want To Know What Love Is!

Mariah Carey has been doing the promo rounds for "Memoirs" in Europe. Peep her performance of the second single, "I Want To Know What Love Is" on X-Factor Italy below and let me know what you think!

The verses were okay, choruses average at best but the bridge and final buildup were great. Mariah should count her lucky stars that she has Mary Ann and Trey as background singers, they truly bring life to her substandard performances. Tidbit: Bringing out the choir is a bit OTT! Also, a few people reported that the whistle notes at the end were lipped, after taking a close listen there are some subtle differences in those notes (see the Oprah performance).

'Memoirs' Features Tracklisting!

Mariah Carey is set to rerelease "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" as a features edition. Here we have the rumoured tracklisting of the album which has not been given a set release date. Peep it below and let me know what you think!

1. Betcha Gon' Know (Remix) feat. Diddy & R. Kelly
2. Obsessed (Remix) feat. Gucci Mane
3. H.A.T.E.U. (Remix) feat. OJ Da Juiceman, Big Boi & Gucci Mane
4. Candy Bling (Remix) feat. T-Pain

12. I Want to Know What Love Is (Remix) feat. Styles P. & Jadakiss
13. Call Me Now (Japan Bonus Track)

This looks like an incredible tracklisting, lets hope the material lives up to it. I'm really excited to hear "Betcha Gon' Know" with R. Kelly, "It's A Wrap" with Beyonce, "Up Out My Face" with Lil' Wayne and "More Than Just Friends" with Alicia Keys and Lil' Wayne. I think this is a great concept and I really like how LA Reid and Mariah try to bring something unique to every project they do.

Mariah films H.A.T.E.U.!

Mariah Carey and Brett Ratner team up again to film the third single from "Memoirs", "H.A.T.E.U.". Peep a few pics from the set below and let me know what you think!

I'm reserving judgement until I've seen the entire clip. Tidbit: The video for "I Want To Know What Love Is" has still not debuted!

Mariah Carey Stripped!

Mariah Carey performed an intimate set in New York to promote her current album, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel". Peep the performances below and let me know what you think!

In my view these are some of the best performances from the "Memoirs" era.

Mariah Carey: H.A.T.E.U. Remix!

The official remix of "H.A.T.E.U.", the third single from Mariah Carey's new album, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" has debuted. The track features Gucci Mane (see "Obsessed") and OJ Da Juiceman and was produced by longtime collaborator Jermaine Dupri. Listen to the track below and let me know what you think!

The track reminds me of a Carey from the 90s era so I can probably see why she's been comparing this album to "Butterfly". Although I like the track, I'm not ecstatic about it and to be honest, the original does much more for me. Either way, I think it would be great if they released both the original and the remix with videos like they did for "Heartbreaker". On a related topic, where is the video for "I Want To Know What Love Is"?

Mariah Carey: Memoirs Update!

Mariah Carey has been hot on the promotional trail for the release of her 12th studio album, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel". Unfortunately, promotion didn't help the first week sales of her latest offering. Official figures show that Mariah debuts at #3 this week, with sales of only 170 000. The top spot was occupied by Paramore, followed closely by Barbara Streisand.

In related "Memoirs" news, "H.A.T.E.U." has been chosen as the third single from the album. Also, an official remix project has been announced which will see all the songs being remixed and released as a separate LP. This would explain the lack of features and remixes on the current release. According to Rap-Up, Trey Songz has been enlisted to feature on "Inseparable" and has already recorded his portion of the track.

I really think the remixes concept album is a great idea and as a fan, I'm excited to see what the album will serve up. In saying that, I'm a bit disappointed with a #3 debut and I hope that with further promotion, the release of a new single and some time the album sales will pick up.

Mariah Carey: The Today Show!

Hot on the promotional trial for her new album, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" Mariah Carey performed a few cuts from the album on The Today Show. Peep the performances below and let me know what you think!

I posted the "H.A.T.E.U." performance first because in my opinion it was incredible! Mariah killed the high notes and the breakdown at the end was awesome! I truly believe this should be released as a single as she clearly enjoys performing it. As for the "I Want To Know What Love Is" and "Obsessed", while not the greatest performances they were still okay. "Love" was performed better on the Oprah show.

New Music: Mariah Carey!

Although "Memoirs" only features production from Tricky Stewart and The Dream, Mariah Carey was also in the studio with hitmaker Timbaland before completing the sequencing of her latest album. We now have the fruits of those sessions in a track titled "Skydiving" which is featured on an upcoming mixtape. Listen to the song below and let me know what you think!
