ONE DAY SALES - MC #2

Na HitsDailyDouble zveřejnili první odhady prodeje - prodej v prvním týdnu nového CD odhadují na 160-170, současně kolem 180 tisíc prodává i skupina Paramore. Na číslo 1 Mariah snad pomůže páteční televizní show - Today a View. Pokud dosáhne MC #1, bude to její sedmé album #1. (nejvíc má B. Streissand - 8x číslo 1).

HitsDailyDouble published the first estimates of the sale - their presumptions are about 160-170. But the Paramore group probably will have 180, so MC won't have a number one. But if she get it, it will be her seventh #1 album (B. Streissand has the most - 8). The TV shows Today and View on Friday could MC help, so let's hope.

HIPHOP DX (BY KATHY IANDOLI) - MULTI-PLATINUM

Throughout her two-decade career, Mariah Carey hasn't been without flaws. She is at times a prime example of separating the artist from the art – save a few very specific career hiccups (Glitter anyone?). Spraypainting her crazy all over the walls of the music industry didn't help either. Luckily for Mimi, her music has withstood the test of time and Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel is a continuation of that musical grace.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE (BY GREG KOT) 3/4

Who says being a pop diva is easy? There is the constant pressure to look great and sound all-conquering while staving off a legion of younger sisters nipping at your stiletto heels. Which brings us to Mariah Carey, she of the 175 million worldwide record sales and the multitude of comebacks.

Carey's voice isn't what it used to be, and her last couple of records were lightweight even by her modest standards, brimming with adolescent lyrics and tarted-up production designed to keep her sounding fashionable. They restored her standing as a commercial force, but as an artist she sounded adrift.

LOS ANGELES TIMES (BY ANN POWERS) - 2.5/4

She shows off her talent by coming off as just another girl at the nail salon. On her recently leaked and soon-to-be-released 12th studio album, Mariah Carey and her latest producers, Terius "The-Dream" Nash and Tricky Stewart, attempt to get at something by distilling it. They're seeking the Essence of Mimi, the liquor in the oyster of Carey's famously luscious voice.But instead of showcasing this musical Olympian's dazzling way with a vocal run or her nearly unmatchable whistle register -- obvious choices when it comes to Carey's talent -- she and her team tune into a particular tone, the one that earned her another nickname, Honey.

There's a breathiness to this album that's not only sexy but emotionally intimate. Heavy on slow jams, quiet confessions and kiss-offs closer to the work of the rappers she admires than to Carey's soul sisters, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" capitalizes on an underrated aspect of the singer's talent: Her ability, even when she's scaling vocal heights, to still come off as just another girl at the nail salon.

TORONTO SUN (BY DARRYL STERDAN) - 3.5

Don't judge Carey's Memoirs by her latest eye-rolling title. The diva's 12th album is neither self-indulgent nor silly. In fact, it's one of her more focused efforts, downplaying the hip-hop and club bangers of late for well-penned, creatively produced R&B ballads that showcase Carey's powerhouse pipes without sacrificing hooks and melodies. Imperfect, but susprisingly good. Download: H.A.T.E.U., Up Out My Face
