That's why I lol'd and feel wtf.

On the other hand, she does look like 10 years ago while i met her in person. Nothing really changed.

Now my question is... how can she do that?

IDJ'S NEW MARKETING STRATEGY???!! D:

The Monetization of Mimi: Mariah CD to Have Ads



Spoiler:

As music sales continue to drop like they're not so hot throughout the industry, Island Def Jam Music Group is jamming on a new business model: integrating brands into artists' CD booklets.

http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s..._booklet1_.jpg



The first deal, created for the Mariah Carey release Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel on Sept. 15, is a 34-page co-production with Elle magazine that includes lifestyle ads from Elizabeth Arden, Angel Champagne, Carmen Steffens, Le Métier de Beauté and the Bahamas Board of Tourism. Providing the experiment goes well, the label is eyeing bigger brand deals for booklets of CDs by Rihanna, Bon Jovi, Kanye West and other artists.

The mini magazine contains Mariah-centric editorial ("VIP Access to Her Sexy Love Life," "Amazing Closet," "Recording Rituals") and lifestyle advertising along with lyrics and other CD booklet elements. Elle contributed the editorial and designed the layout.

The booklets were created for the first run of U.S. CDs (1 million) and the first 500,000 overseas, said Jeff Straughn, svp-strategic marketing for Island Def Jam Music Group. It will also be available in a digital format for those who buy music online. A condensed version of the Mariah mag, sans the 14 pages of CD-specific material, will be inserted into 500,000 subscription copies of Elle's October issue, which arrives mid-September.


"The idea was really simple thinking: 'We sell millions of records, so you should advertise with us,'" said Antonio "L.A." Reid, chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group, a unit of Universal Music Group. "My artists have substantial circulation—when you sell 2 million, 5 million, 8 million, that's a lot of eyeballs. Most magazines aren't as successful as those records."

http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s..._booklet2_.jpg



Carey was "very open" to the concept when Reid showed her a mock-up of the booklet in a magazine format that included brand imagery synonymous with her lifestyle. "I wouldn't want to do Mariah Carey and Comet abrasive cleaner," Reid said, laughing. "I wanted things that really reflected her taste."

Reid said the program was unprecedented. Terry Dry, president of Los Angeles-based digital-word-of-mouth marketing agency Fanscape, agreed, saying that the CD booklet advertising is a first, though he wouldn't be surprised if more labels look into doing the same thing: "Hollywood Records [Disney], I know they love to monetize all over the place for something like a Jonas Brothers record. Open any rap record and a couple of inserts will come flying out, usually for a business the artist is a part of. I wouldn't be surprised if 50 Cent had a Vitaminwater thing."

Labels are looking for ways to eke out extra bucks, borrow equity and cut costs anywhere they can today. Year-to-date album sales were down 13.9 percent for the week ending July 19, 2009, compared with the period last year, according to Nielsen SoundScan (227 million units vs. 195.5 million units). Of those 2009 sales, 18.9 percent, or 41.9 million, were digital.


Ad revenues are subsidizing 100 percent of Island Records' costs for the Carey booklet, but label execs also see the alliance as a way to expand distribution at a time when the local music store is becoming as rare as the Beatles' Yesterday and Today LP with the "Butcher" cover.

http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s...h/cd_case_.jpg



"We don't have music retailers any more, so a smart consumer products company that understands the value in distributing music is going to restore the vitality of our business," Reid speculated. "If we distribute music properly and if it's done tastefully, it could be a huge profit center for all of us. That is the missing link—we need partnerships."

To underscore the point: At one large retail establishment, partner Elizabeth Arden is allowing the label to cross-promote the release. The CD Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel will be merchandised directly outside Walmart's music aisle with Carey's new signature Arden fragrance, Forever, which has its ad on the booklet's back cover. The CD and scent will also be displayed together in the beauty department.

Regarding her song Obsessed, i think Eminem has to shut up.

waterballoon 3rd August 2009 05:52 PM

Definitely! I'm really excited to see this "mini-magazine," since I'm a marketing major and think this is a great idea for the music labels. This kind of content, which seamlessly fuses advertising and entertainment (so consumers don't know they're looking at a commercial) is quite simply the future of the ad biz.

TITANIC 5th August 2009 05:15 AM

I'm speechless after hearing the revenge of eminem

The original one remains the best to me.

Polyrhythm 7th September 2009 02:05 AM
Ohhhhh Its kinda nice :) I prefer it to Obsessed, which was also good too

Kingdom 7th September 2009 02:13 AM

i really want H.A.T.E. U :(

Minttulatte 13th September 2009 03:25 PM
I want Mariah's new album now. "I Want To Know What Love Is" was so damn beautiful song, so touching. :) And "Obsessed" is also so good I'm gonna die now. :D And I also think that the new album covers are actually very pretty. Simple but pretty. :)

mcluva420 26th September 2009 04:56 AM
cool new changes to Mariah's Official Website

also from MariahCarey.com:
Spoiler:
Quote:
Imperfections are in the eye of the beholder. You can see them as flaws, or as the very qualities that make us human -- and that make us strive to be better people in search of a perfection that we know we can never fully achieve. In the thirteen songs on her spellbinding new album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, Mariah Carey explores those aspects of our shared humanity with a rare depth, honesty and open-heartedness. It's one of the strongest statements in her long, distinguished career.

The subject of Memoirs is love at all its stages in our lives. Experiencing it for the first time. Losing it. Remembering its most painful moments, and also its times of greatest innocence and joy. Yearning for it. Learning from it. Growing as a result of its profound power. Finding it again and being grateful for so great a gift. And, finally, being humbled, filled with wonder and elevated by love's mysterious ways. In that sense and more, Memoirs is a full, immensely satisfying journey.

"Each song is like an intimate conversation or entry in a private diary," Carey says about the album. "A lot of the songs reflect specific, different times in my life. Others were inspired by movies, actual events that happened to me, or the stories of friends who told me about experiences that they've gone through." With just one exception, Carey wrote and produced the entire album in collaboration with The-Dream and Tricky Stewart. The trio clearly shared an inspired sense of what Memoirs should be. Sinuous grooves and instantly memorable melodies flow from track to track, while the wit and intimacy of the lyrics create the feel of one friend talking to another. As well-defined as each song is, Memoirs plays with the beauty and consistency of a classic, start-to-finish album.

"My main goal was to work with people I could collaborate with without it seeming redundant or stale," Carey says. "In my opinion Tricky is one of the most underrated major producers out there right now. I really enjoyed collaborating with him. And I especially liked writing with The-Dream, basically because we both love having fun with lyrics and melodies, and we're also capable of getting more serious on deeper songs. There is a particular sense of freedom I feel when we write together -- even though I make him stay in the studio all night until he is ready to kill me! LOL!"

Memoirs' first single is the hard-hitting "Obsessed," which is accompanied by a video directed by Brett Ratner (the Rush Hour trilogy) in which Carey plays both the glamorous star and her stalker fan. Like the video, the song's lyrics combine devastating putdowns ("Last man on the Earth still couldn't get this") with humor ("See right through you like you're bathin' in Windex"). The no-nonsense "Up Out My Face" captures a similar caustic mood, dismissing a former lover with the send-off, "When I break, I break, boy." "It's a Wrap" delivers a similar message about the end of an affair: "When it's gone, it's gone." "Standing O," with its irresistible chorus, sardonically applauds a faithless ex for his signature achievement: "You played the one that loved you the most." "*****a Gon' Know" foresees karmic revenge for a wayward lover, but, once again, the clever lyrics ("Oprah Winfrey whole segment for real, for real / 20/20 Barbara Walters for real, for real") encourage a smile amid the pain.



The ballad "H.A.T.E.U.," meanwhile, finds the singer seeing life in the wake of a breakup and longing for the moment when loss and regret transform into a cleansing anger. But the title of the song doesn't necessarily stand for what you think it might. "H.A.T.E.U. is the first song I wrote for the album," Carey says, "and it stands for Having A Typical Emotional Upset."

Always a brilliant technical singer with an extraordinary vocal range, Carey rises to new heights on that track. "I sing a recurring melody in the upper register of my voice; it's not an ad-lib, but an integral part of the song's hook," she says. "That's not something I've done before, and when listening back to it, it reminded me of how Minnie Riperton used her upper register on her hit song 'Lovin' You.' I thought how ironic that her song was called 'Lovin' You' and my song is called, 'H.A.T.E.U.' - and both use that upper 'whistle register' as a major part of the melody. So it's sort of an homage to Minnie Riperton, a tribute to her since she has been so influential in my singing style."

On a tender note, the wistful "Candy Bling" beautifully evokes the blissful realm of young love ("Anklets, name plates that you gave to me/Sweet tarts, ring pops had that candy bling/And you were my world"), while "Inseparable" aches for a love that went wrong for reasons that seem impossible to comprehend. "More Than Just Friends" floats off into a fantasy of what a casual relationship might become ("Permanently paint me in your picture like Picasso/Love me down till I hit the top of my soprano!"). "Ribbon" and "The Impossible" swoon with happiness and thankfulness over redemptive love that has returned to make life rich again. "You did the impossible," Carey sings. "You rescued my love."

Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel ends with a spectacularly powerful gospel rendition of Foreigner's gorgeous ballad, "I Want to Know What Love Is." Carey's voice soars into the heavens as a soul-stirring choir makes it clear that the search for love is the closest that any human being ever gets to the divine.

Which brings us back to the angel of the album's title. "I had written a song called 'Imperfect,'" Carey says, "but it didn't make it onto the album. The lyrics of that song address the fact that the world puts so much pressure on us -- especially on women -- to be perfect and look a certain way, and that is impossible because nobody is perfect. Only God is perfect. I know I've tried to be a good person, but I am definitely no angel!"

"But after I put this album together and decided to name it Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel," she concludes, "I remembered that the Minnie Riperton album that contained 'Lovin' You' was called Perfect Angel. So I felt in so many ways that it was meant to be."


yahh interesting "Bio" lol! no boring stuff :]

anyways, i got my copy after school but couldnt find the collectors box anywhere @_@
naturally, I totally was all smitten over the packaging :laugh, not to mention when i pressed play :lech
She almost bit my arm off when MC was on Oprah, and I wanted to change the channel. She's slowly converting me into a fan. I saw MC on The View today and I almost cried when she sang her new song.

I think I'll check her website for into on the version of her album supposedly released on the 20th.

^yay! the more fans the merrier!! :luv2

To be honest, she needs to reconsider her music style choice if she wants to do something great like EoM.

cut off Timbaland?! oh well.

mcluva420 3rd October 2009 05:40 AM
timbaland isnt always the best, lol. but i heard that the timbaland song is gonna make it on SOMETHING. (i hope its a bonus track on international release or smthin)

i believe this is the timbaland produced song: "Skydiving"

mariah came in at number 3 for her first week, selling about 170k copies. she fell behind paramore (1) and streisand (2)

TITANIC 8th October 2009 04:58 PM
hopefully she will top the chart next week

Sundae 8th October 2009 10:30 PM
That's a hundred thousand lower than what E=MC2 did on its first week. Streisand surprised me. I didn't expect to see her that high.

TITANIC 9th October 2009 06:43 PM
^ so this is consider bad?

Sundae 9th October 2009 08:45 PM
Off the top of my mind, I'm sure Memoirs sold more than Glitter but less than Charmbracelet. It's not bad sales. Let me go and look for the official numbers to put it in perspective.

Edit: It was actually more than 100,000. So the drop is much lower than I thought. It's not bad but I expected higher. Then considering how well other albums did that week it wasn't that bad. I just wanted another number one for her. She's tied with Janet.

Memoirs: 168,000
MC2: 463,000
Emancipation: 404,000
Charmbracelet: 241,200

mcluva420 10th October 2009 06:10 AM
I think its that low cuz it's only been a year and an half since E=MC^2. also, the album was leaked a week before the release date. Some people may have wanted to buy it to see if it's good, but listened to it and decided not to buy it. (true story!)

I really hope it eventually goes at least platinum =/

Yooku 10th October 2009 12:26 PM
I love Mariah's new album. <3 It's not as good as E=MC2 but still great. My favorite songs from the album are Obsessed, H.A.T.E.U., *****a Gon Now, Standing O, More Than Just Friends and Obsessed (Cahill Radio Mix).

...and I don't actually like the album cover too much... Fanmades are better. :P

thanks for the explanation...
comparing those albums MOAIA looks bad. maybe it will rise next week. hopefully she can get 1.

btw E=MC2 sold more than EOM or no for the total sales?

mcluva420 11th October 2009 11:14 PM
^ according to wikipedia..
TEOM - 10 million worldwide
E=MC^2 - 2,500,000 worldwide

anyways, im gonna try my best to get more copies of MOAIA for the needy :D

Meat Pao 3rd November 2009 07:30 AM
Just bought my copy of MC's new album and the box set :)

http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/5257/mcbox.jpg

I replaced TEOM and E=MC2 with my digipak versions because it was a little bit too tight for MOAIA to fit in there... plus the E=MC2 CD casing has a chipped corner :(

I really enjoy listening to Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel. Very nice album, indeed. I like all the songs on this album and Mariah sounds very good. :) I downloaded this album and I loved it so much I'm going to buy it when I have a chance. :) My favourite songs on this album are *****a Gon' Know, Obsessed, H.A.T.E.U, Candy Bling, Angels Cry, I Want To Know What Love Is, More Than Just Friends and Up Out My Face. :p

TITANIC 3rd November 2009 08:24 AM
Hopefully H.A.T.E.U will be released as the 3rd single. I really love this song. iMO that is her strongest song in MOAIA

Meat Pao 3rd November 2009 08:42 AM
One of the most listened songs on MOAIA for me is Inseparable... am I the only person who thinks that song is great? xD

QFT ! H.A.T.E.U is AMAZING !

happiholic★ 3rd November 2009 02:30 PM
I may be a bit late on this, but what does H.A.T.E. stand for anyway? I was told it stood for something...

Meat Pao 3rd November 2009 02:39 PM
^ According to Wikipedia it says that it stands for Having A Typical Emotional Upset.

TITANIC 5th November 2009 04:47 PM
IT'S CONFIRMED H.A.T.E.U IS 3RD SINGLE
YUUUHUUUUUUU

MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL, the brand new album by international superstar Mariah Carey, (released September 29th) jumps onto the Soundscan R&B chart with a #1 debut - buoyed by the success of two simultaneous hit singles, "Obsessed" (#1 Dance, #1 Rhythm, with peak Hot 100 audience of 90 million), and "I Want To Know What Love Is" (bulleted across-the-board at Rhythmic, Hot AC, Urban AC, and Mainstream AC radio formats, with 19 million total audience). On-deck as the album's third new single pick is "H.A.T.E.U." which Mariah recently performed live on The TODAY Show. Click here to watch the performance.

That makes the lyrics sound weird. When you think about it she is singing "I can't wait to having a typical emotional upset you". Or is it just the title that means "Having A Typical Emotional Upset"?
