good for Mariah. I was not really following her sales, I was just talking about the media attention she gets. I think there was more buzz about her weight loss & new image than her wedding.
I think the wedding thing actually hurt her image, it was so bizarre & sudden. but whatever ...

I don't have anything against using samples, but I'd just feel that Mariah should stay ahead of "lesser" RnB starlets and use fresh ideas instead of re-using some played out sample.
building a song around a sample is so Ashanti/Amerie/d-grade RnB IMO.

I'd love Cruise Control to be the next single. something fun & upbeat for the summer would be cool.
