The singles from Mariah Carey’s Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel Recycled with Guest Vocals Angels Advocate keep rolling out with “Ribbon” being the latest to hit the net. No word yet on whether this is the new single or if Mariah is going to try and promote the first two to see if they will fare better on the charts. Disappointing to say the least. As previously stated, a Mariah Carey remix was once synonymous with a fresh beat and new vocals to beat, not anymore.

Kelly, The-Dream & Ludacris, T-Pain & Snoop Dogg, Akon, Trey Songz, K-Ci & Jo Jo, and OJ Da Juiceman & OutKast’s Big Boi.

If you are a lamb, then you’ve probably already heard “100%” , the original song that Mariah Carey made for the movie Precious, which Lee Daniels passed on because he wanted all attention to be on Mariah’s acting. –__–. Nonetheless, Mary’s “I Can See In Color” was chosen and “100%” got the “Boo, Bitch Boo” treatment. Well thankfully, the ballad is seeing the official light of day with an I tunes  release this week! The song will also be featured on Mariah’s remix album Angels Advocate and will be featured in the 2010 Winter Olympics. Take a Listen Below!

Mariah Carey premiered her new videos for “Angels Cry” and “Up Out My Face“remixes featuring Ne-Yo and Nicki Minaj respectively, today via VEVO. The “Angel’s Cry” video lacks a cohesive theme and the fact that they choose to record it in a studio together, when frankly Mariah didn’t re-record her vocals at all is interesting. On the other hand the “Up Out My Face” Remix video with Nicki Minaj is much better. It’s a different look and feel for Mariah and it captures her personality and humor to a tee! Furthermore Mariah is the Original Barbie, so it works! No shade to Nicki Minaj, but I couldn’t help but then Lil Kim would’ve delivered an even better performance. Both videos were directed by Mariah’s hubby Nick Cannon!

Mariah made an appearance on JD’S Living the Live Youtube Reality show. No interviews, but Mariah’s Angel’s Advocate Tour touched down in Atlanta and she invited him to join her on stage. While Jd’s presence was missed on Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel, I still like the album and i’m glad that she stepped out of her comfort zone a bit and tried it with a new crew. That being said, I bet J.D will be back for the next all new studio album!

Mariah Carey has confirmed that Mary J.Blige will indeed appear on her Remix album Angels Advocate, which will be released in March. Mariah selected Mary to duet on “It’s A Wrap.” Mariah told this to the audience at her performance at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods in Connecticut, which was sold out by the way!

” I told you we’re remixing the album and I’m singing this  with Mary J. Blige and I’m really excited about it. But right  now I’m gonna do it alone. It’s called ‘It’s A Wrap.’”

A portion of the excitement for this release has been restored since “It’s a Wrap” is a vocally demanding song, so it’ll be interesting to see how the two singers collaborate on the song with their different styles of singing. Don’t expect new instrumentation for the remix, as those days are apparently over in the Mariah Carey world.

Up Out My Face (Remix)

This remix is somewhat disappointing because Mariah is known for changing the melodic structure and recording vocals and so far none of the Angels Advocate remixes that we’ve heard ( Save for the “H.A.T.E.U Remix) have had their structure substantially changed.

Mariah Carey continues her award streak this week with her win for Best Female R&B artist tonight at the People’s Choice Awards. In addition to this award, as well as the Palm Spring award that she won yesterday, Carey has been nominated for two NAACP awards, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture (Precious), and Outstanding Album (Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel). Janet Jackson won the outstanding actress award last year for her role in Why Did I Get Married?. Perhaps the Pop stars have this award on lock! Check out Mariah Daily.com for more Pictures!

Angels Cry

As Mariah Carey prepares to release her remix album Angel’s Advocate, the first single “Angel’s Cry” is a reworked version of the original found on 2009’s Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. The instrumentation is the same (which is surprising for a Mariah Carey remix), but Ne-Yo comes in a takes over the second verse. It’s a cool R&B song. Check it out.

Mariah Carey boozed it up at the Palm Springs International Film Festival awards as she gave a long, rambling acceptance speech after being named Breakthrough Actress for her performance in “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire.” While its highly unprofessional, it was extremely funny. We love Mariah! She means no harm and just wants to have a good time!

This may be one of the most random posts ever, but hey someone is going to be interested. Check out the Christmas card that Mariah Carey sent out this year with husband Nick Cannon. You know you got it when you can commission an artist (J. David Mckenney) to create an illustration of you and your man(and your dogs) for your Christmas Card.

I don’t know how to feel about this? Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj are hooking up for the  “Up Out My Face” remix video shoot in Los Angeles on Friday, December 18, 2009.  Hubby Nick Cannon shared the pics on his website.  Mariah takes a page from Nicki’s (thin) handbook and  steps into the Barbie role.Nicki seems to be on everyone’s tracks these days…was Lil’ Kim busy? I’m just saying… nonetheless it should be an interesting video. You know we love our MiMi!

Ne-Yo shared this pic of him and Mariah Carey in the studio working on the remix to “Angels Cry”. As previously reported, Mariah Carey will be releasing two remix albums for Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel, one will be strictly dance club versions by remixer The Jump Smokers and the others will be pop/R&B remixes with well known artists such as R.Kelly, Trey Songz and Ne-Yo.  The as yet-untitled Remix album is set for release on Tuesday, February 23, 2010. The project will be treated by the label as an entirely new project which means all new promotional stops! Apparently this shot was taken at the video set so I guess she’s going for a modern “One Sweet Day” type look? Girl, I guess.”Angels Cry” is slated for release to radio on Monday, January 4, 2010.

Mariah Carey was the quintessential 90’s artist and  the crown jewel of The 90’s diva Trinity (Mariah Carey, Madonna and Janet Jackson), so much so that shes the only artist to have a single chart at number one every  year from 1990-2000. Then she had her well-publicized breakdown that saw the media make the woman who was formerly America’s songbird sweetheart into a manic, depressive and slightly psycho case. Despite it all, Carey bounced back from all the hoopla to produce this decade’s best selling single and show the world why she’s one of the world’s best selling artists. Lets see how she fared this decade.

Album of the Decade| The Emancipation of Mimi

Without a doubt Mariah’s 2005 effort, The Emancipation of Mimi, is her most cohesive and career defining set of this decade. After the Glitter debacle ( which personally speaking, I’ve seen worst movies so I didn’t quite understand the hoopla), Mariah didn’t quite find her footing until she released TEOM. The first single “It’s like That” with its minimalist production and light vocals only wet our appetite for what was to come and the marketing plan was brilliant. “The Return of The Voice”? Come on! !Who was going to argue with that! Relying on old soul samples and hearkening back to the older, simpler times and themes of R&B, Carey found the songs that complemented and showed off her 5 octave vocal range and found the perfect balance of Pop,R&B and Hip-hop, a fusion she was tinkling with since 1994’s “Fantasy.”

Standout Tracks|” We Belong Together”, “Mine Again”, “Fly Like a Bird”

Mariah Carey stopped by The George Lopez Show to continue promotion on her latest release Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel. Mariah performed “Its a Wrap”, though she started off a bit shaky she finished off perfectly with those belted notes at the end!
