Re: Mariah earning her 18th Number One this week!!
No, actually “Bleeding Love” was #1 last week.
Another thing, you can’t really compare Mariah to legends like Elvis and The Beatles because it’s a lot easier in the 21st century to have your song at #1 because of quick downloading of singles that are only just 99 cents apiece. It was a different era back then when The Beatles and Elvis were at the peak of their careers. Way back then fans had to drive all the way to music stores to purchase singles that weren’t cheap.
Let me tell you something, if Elvis and The Beatles had their success in this era instead of way back in the 1960’s, I think they’d have twice or three times as many #1 songs than what they had in the past.
Here’s an article from Yahoo News! called: “Mariah Carey Surpasses Elvis- But The Context Is Missing” that talks about it:

Re: Mariah earning her 18th Number One this week!!
Well, that’s your opinion as I am entitled to mine, you know. Elvis and The Beatles did have a lot of competition as artists do today- there were contenders like The Supremes, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Pat Boone, Andy Williams, the list goes on and on. And here’s something else, I agree with what InternetEnthusiast said, that it sure helped the big diva to come close to Elvis’s record of #1 singles by acting like a total princess the first six years of her career, acting being the operative word. I don't think that career of hers would've taken off at all if she had stayed true to herself from the beginning.

Re: Mariah earning her 18th Number One this week!!
>>> Wrong, they were only together for 10 years. Mariah has been singing professionally now for almost 20 years. She has worked twice as hard as the Beatles.
No, she's worked twice as LONG as the Beatles. In seven years, the Beatles put out ten albums (as well as twenty or so other tracks that were released as singles or EPs), made three or four movies (only one of which was a bomb), wrote the huge majority of their songs themselves, worked with their producer George Martin to push the boundaries of popular music (a sitar? on a pop song?), and in general, left a legacy that has yet to be rivaled.
I don't want to dis Mariah. But her achievements rather pale next to theirs. She's co-written a couple of decent tunes. She's been astute enough to producer-hop, always finding ones that'll make her current work sound au courant (which will help it up the charts). And her sales history is indeed daunting. But I don't know. Even now, forty years down the road, people throw on Sgt Pepper's or Abbey Road or Rubber Soul, and are still blown away by it all. I just can't imagine people doing that in 2038 with Rainbow or Mimi or even the self-titled one. I picture her being more like Connie Francis. She had plenty of hits back in the 50s and 60s - "Where the Boys Are", "Everybody's Somebody's Fool" - and plenty of people still enjoy them today, myself included. But I don't see her in the same light as the Beatles.
As usual, it'll be up to history to pass final judgment. I'm not denying that Mariah's released some classic material, but I think in the end, it'll be the Beatles catalog that remains the most revered.

Re: Mariah earning her 18th Number One this week!!
Congrats to Mariah.
You can't exactly compare her to Elvis though. He was making hit records before the Billboard Hot 100 even came into existence.

Re: Any Mariah Carey fans out there????
From TEOM? Or any CD?
From TEOM: Fly Like A Bird or We Belong Together
Vision of Love is probably one of her best ballads.

Re: Any Mariah Carey fans out there????
I like "adult contemporary" Mariah more than the one we have now. Whenever You Call is her masterpiece, fuck Hero.
It's a shame that some nice west coast rap inspired songs like Irresistible were unnoticed due to Charmbracelet being ignored.

Re: Your favorite Mariah songs from E=MC2
Too bad, it sucks how the songs were leaked. I listened to some of them on youtube. My opinions about the songs are pretty much the same. I like "for the record" more, as well as "last kiss", "love story", and "i stay in love".
I think the singles could be:
Bye Bye
Migrate
Im That Chick or I'll Be Lovin U Long Time
Love Story or Last Kiss
For The Record
I think that would be a good order. But whatever she does, it will be a decent album. Cant wait to get it! What do you guys think???

Re: Your favorite Mariah songs from E=MC2
While I haven't heard many songs from the new album, Touch my body has proven to be a #1 hit. My favorite mariah songs are heartbreaker w/ jay z and there can be miracles, the duet with whitney houston from the prince of egypt.

Re: Your favorite Mariah songs from E=MC2
after listening to the full version of the songs, my favorites are:
i stay in love
migrate
i'm that chick
lyrically, i like the first verse of most of the songs, especially "bye bye," but the rest of the lyrics aren't that great.

Re: Any Mariah Carey fans out there????
They are planning a Mariah Carey week on American Idol. It's not known if the theme will just be her songs are if she's just the guest coach but I'm sooo happy!
Anyway, on Idol Gives Back, she'll be singing 'Fly Like a Bird'.
