Mariah Carey: Noticias y rumores

Aqui os pongo las fotos del video que no se vieron.... Mariah sale guapisima, enseñando cuerpito (como siempre) pero muy guapa....
He leido y escuchado una entrevista de Brett ratner el director del video y dice que esta deseando sacar el video porque le ha encantado como ha quedado que Mariah sale expectacular y que hay dialogo en el video... Supuestamente trata de un chico que sueña con estar con mariah (muy rollo austin powers como dijeron arriba en el post)

PS: Llevo años leyendo el foro y jamas he escrito y decidí que ya va siendo hora de aportar mi granito de arena de vez en cuando

Parece ser que el video podría estrenarse el día 25. Brett Ratner ha ofrecido una entrevista y ha dicho que el video será muy gracioso, que más que un video es una película, y que no quiere exagerar pero que es algo así como cuando salió Thriller de Michael Jackson. Dice que sería muy obvio que saliera en el video diciendole a un tío guapo como Wentworth Miller que tocara su cuerpo, porque la gente se reiría; así que ha buscado a un actor gracioso, Jack McBrayer, para que la situación de Mariah pidiendole que tocase su cuerpo resultara cómica de verdad.

Dejo aquí la entrevista completa en inglés, cortesía de MariahDaily.com

Brett Ratner, the director of the upcoming "Touch My Body" music video called in to KIIS FM 102.7 in Los Angeles today at 9:05am PST and revealed some interesting facts about the video to Ryan Seacrest and the morning show crew. Ratner also confirmed that the video is scheduled to premiere on TV on Monday, February 25, 2008. It was previously reported that Mariah will visit TRL on Feb. 25.

Below is a transcript of the interview:

Ryan Seacrest: "Touch My Body", it's Mariah Carey's new track. Randy Jackson's been working on this with her. Lots of buzz about Mariah's entire album. Single is called "Touch My Body" [Ryan plays the song and sings along with it]. So the video's gonna be coming, they're actually making the video or just completed the video, and Brett Ratner, famous movie director, is doing the video with Mariah, so it's gotta be great, I wanted to know how provocative it's gonna be, what do you do when you have lyrics like "Touch My Body" and Mariah Carey, what do you do? And what does she touch? That's what I wanted to ask him, so here he is. Brett, how are you baby?
Brett Ratner: I'm good, how are you guys?

RS: I'm good. Are you in the process of several things at once here?
BR: God, because of the strike... I love doing music videos, as you know, I'll never stop doing them as long as they keep asking, and Mariah of course is my buddy and she said "Brett, you gotta come hear my album, I want you to do this video" and I swear to God, she completely blew me away. I think it's the best album she's ever done. You know, I did "We Belong Together" so, I think she's won like three Grammys for it and I used of course my guy Wentworth Miller from my show "Prison Break".

RS: That guy pisses me off because he's too good looking.
BR: I know, right?

RS: We don't need him in our town.
BR: So I knew there was no way, unless I got you to be in the video, there was no way to top Wentworth Miller in this video.

RS: Well the problem's my abs are so big and tight right now. And I started talking about what the video, I listened to the lyrics, what the video might be like, and I read that you were gonna do the video, so now I'm dying to know the storyboards.
BR: I know, three people called me, they were like "they're talking about you and the video" and I said - you know what? I gotta call them and fill them in because it's too good.

RS: Is it that hot? 'Cause it could be so hot.
BR: This is like, I don't wanna exaggerate, but this is like when "Thriller" [by Michael Jackson] first came out. The anticipation.

RS: Is she wearing red?
BR: She's wearing red in one outfit. But I gotta tell you, I said, "you know Mariah, we gotta do..." - people don't know this, but Mariah is hysterical. I mean, she keeps me laughing all the time, and this record is kind of funny, it's called "Touch My Body", and to me I mean it was funny because I thought "There's no way we could do the video with just like the cute guy like Wentworth Miller and you singing to him "Touch My Body", people are gonna laugh." So I said let's really go with one of the funniest guys in the world, who I love, is this guy named Jack McBrayer, who's on 30 Rock. You know this guy?

RS: Yes, and that's a great show!
BR: He is hysterical. So we called him up, and it turns out, you know we call somebody and they're like "yeah, we don't wanna do music videos" but he turned out to be a huge Mariah fan, and he showed up, and I don't wanna give too much away but I gotta tell you, he is one of the funniest guys I've ever worked with. Ever. I mean hysterical.

RS: How does he get to be funny in a music video?
BR: Well, because his character, all I can say is that he fantasizes about what it would be like to be with Mariah.
RS: As do I.
BR: [laughs] And because Mariah, first of all, looks better than she's ever looked, I don't know if you've seen her in public. Have you seen her at all?

RS: Yeah, something's happened. I keep asking her what she's doing because I wanna do the same diet.
BR: No, it's ridiculous, she's been working out every day, she has this trainer that she flew in from St. Barths and this woman is like beating the hell out of her and her body, because she has an incredible body but she was always kind of like voluptuous, now she's just like fit. And she was like, we gotta show this body. So without kind of making fools of ourselves, we really took this all the way. Because we have a comedian like Jack, when it becomes fun and funny, you can go as far as you wanna go.

RS: When is this coming out bro?
BR: I just finished it last night, and I think the debut is next Monday [Feb. 25]. The problem is the record is so big right now, people are like "finish the video, finish the video!"

RS: That's the thing, we played the song a few days ago, and the video usually comes soon after, but you gotta rush this, right?
BR: I rushed it, we shot it in two days, I mean we've been talking about the way we do it is like we're two kids in a candy store. It's like ridiculous, 'cause the record company's really not involved, Mariah just called me and I flew to New York, I like literally, we spent like every night together for a week, like literally throwing ideas around, and then in the last minute we just came up with this idea, we flew back here [Los Angeles], and shot it, and I tell you, I've never had so much fun shooting a music video. When you guys see it, you're gonna flip out. You know what it is really? Truth is, it's a movie. It's not a music video, it's literally a movie. I love it. And by the way, the rest of her album is ridiculous. I think it's the best album she's ever done by far.

RS: E=MC2.
BR: MC².
RS: Oh, they didn't give me a little two, there's a big two. By the way girls, a squared would be a little two.
BR: By the way, we have dialogue in this video, it's hysterical.

A ver ahora .

Gracias Mercury, ya me puedo hacer una idea del gran impacto que puede ser este nuevo video, algo similar a lo que ocurrio con Thriller

Impresionante primera semana en listas de Touch My Body

Con solo seis dias de airplay, sin aun empezar la promoción, sin video, sin downloads y sin single físico...

Mariah entra directa al #57 del Hot 100 de Billboard y al #20 del R&B Chart... ha conseguido en seis dias 47 millones de impressions!

Puede parecer un número bajo si no estáis familiarizados con el Billboard pero conseguir entrar al #57 solo con SEIS dias de airplay es INCREÍBLE!

Para haceros una comparativa con sus singles anteriores:

It's like that: consiguió los mismos 47 millones en 30 dias

We Belong Together: tardo 39 dias en tener el mismo airplay que Touch my Body (y repito, Touch My Body lo ha conseguido en 6!!!!)

Shake it off: tardó 41 dias!


y no hace falta decir que "TMB" ya ha conseguido un mejor puesto en el billboard que todos los singles de Charmbracelet

:jajaja:.

Entrar en el #57 de Billboard no está mal, pero pese a estar familiriazado con Billboard tampoco me parece una hazaña tan INCREIBLE... Menos viniendo de un álbum de éxito. Más difícil lo tuvo It's Like That viniendo de tanto fiasco y fracaso encadenado. Y además era mejor tema .

Vh1 acaba de hacer publica la primera crítica del disco tema a tema. Al parecer esta semana se hizo un preview del disco en Nueva York para Vh1 y Mtv y aunque algunos temas aún no estan acabados ya se aventuran a describirlos...

Esta crítica me ha dejado totalmente sorprendida y con más ganas que nunca de escuchar el disco porque de verdad que PROMETE!

Aqui os la dejo:

Yesterday, Island/Def Jam honcho L.A. Reid hosted a few journalists in his office for a special preview of Mariah Carey's upcoming E=MC² album, tentatively due April 15. While Reid looked on, Mariah's A&R man and long-rumored beau Mark Sudack played 12 of the album's cuts from his laptop, often passionately (and adorably!) singing along. On the album, there was drama, there was death, there was disco. What follows is a track-by-track breakdown of our impressions of the album. Note that this isn't the final track sequence, that L.A. ticked off the producers list to us but it is by no means etched in stone and the tracks that we heard weren't always mastered.

One final note: so much of this album is sung in Mariah's chest voice. The vocal gymnastics and whistle notes, while there ('cause, duh, it's Mariah!), take a backseat to clear, purposeful singing, and Mariah sounds better for it. Oh yeah, Mimi's back.

1. "Migrate" (co-produced by Danja) -- After announcing itself with Mariah's patented whistle notes, this club track gets to bangin' and it takes that task really seriously. It's about as meta as a banger gets, with Mariah explaining during the chorus how her night goes: "From the car to the club / We migrate / From the bar to the V.I.P. / We migrate." And so it goes, from the party to the after party, from the after party to the hotel. There's a slight autotune effect on Mariah's voice on the last "migrate" of each chorus, which I assume is to put her on equal ground with the man she shares the mic with here. T-Pain, mercifully shows up for just a guest verse -- this is not a full-blown duet. It's a feisty track, with tough Storch-esque beats that Mariah's bravado attempts to match: "If you're inked up thuggin', that's what I like," she says. See, I always thought she went for the pretty boys. Already we're learning stuff!

2. "Touch My Body" (co-produced with Christopher "Tricky" Stewart and The-Dream) -- There isn't much to say about this ultra-femme track that wasn't said when it leaked. Hard to believe that that was only a little more than week ago -- in the time since, it's become so ubiquitous that it's kind of hard to imagine what radio was like before it. Even L.A. seemed taken aback by how quickly it has caught on -- he described the track's out-of-the-gate success as virtually accidental.

3. "Last Kiss" (co-produced by Jermaine Dupri) -- One of the album's many declarations of eternal love, this one is "We Belong Together, Part 35." It's nice but extremely safe. One thing that's very much in its favor are Mariah's vocals, which are nimble as they are in "We Belong Together" (she changes up her flow more times than I could count) and maybe more robust than they've sounded in over a decade. There's a nice little duet at the end of this one between Mariah's full chest voice and her higher register. Of course, if she didn't show off that stellar natural resource, this wouldn't be a Mariah Carey album.

4. "Lovin' You Long Time" (co-produced by DJ Toomp) -- Pure and utter joy is this one, which is most reminiscent of the lovely Mimi outtake "When I Feel It." Except this one's, like, 10 times better. The chorus of DeBarge's "Stay With Me" is the foundation of this track (as opposed to the verses, which provided the foundation for the single remix of Biggie's "One More Chance" and Ashanti's "Foolish," among tracks). However, the sample sounds more weathered, and overall, the track comes off as a '60s throwback rather than an '80s one. One hundred percent feel-good and packing in a killer breakdown and conclusion that's a wall of Mariah voices, this was the first song that felt like the work of unstoppable pop genius.

5. "Thanx for Nothin'" (co-produced by Jermaine Durpri) -- A mid-tempo ballad that sports a beat rougher than anything Jermaine Dupri has laid down for Mariah and a guitar line not unlike Mimi's "So Lonely" (though this track is more sassy and less dour than that), "Thanx" suggests that Mariah and Jermaine aren't sentenced to live in the shadow of their former glory and can actually make relatively new sounds together. Lyrically, this break-up track is a cross between the self-deprecating "Mine Again" ("I never knew enough about you, babe / And I guess I only have myself to blame") and the streetwise posturing of "Get Your Number" ("Seems like all I do is think about your pseudo-romance / While you're somewhere burnin' diesel in the streets, havin' laughs"). Mariah packs in so many lyrics that she barely has time to sing them, and sort of just growls them. It's not nearly as ridiculous as that description might make it sound.

6. "That Chick" (co-produced by Stargate) -- Instant. Classic. An absolutely brilliant disco track that plays on Mariah's strengths and sexiness without ever crossing the line into indulgence. It's slick, it's chic (and Chic, with its slap-you-on-the-ass bass line), it's silly ("La da da a oooh wee-wee" goes the bit between the chorus and the verses) and it carries a killer middle 8 that's as exhilarating as the one in Michael Jackson's "P.Y.T." (you know, the best part of one of the best songs ever that goes, "Don't you know nowwwww / Is the perfect time..."?). Mariah makes references to 2Pac and Biggie, compares herself to ice cream and the lottery and maybe even references the long-lost track from the Charmbracelet sessions "Touch the Sky." Oh, and also she delivers the most her line of her career, complete with a 10-cent word: "I brings that levity." Maybe one day they'll bottle the essence of Mariah, but until then, we have "That Chick" and I seriously am counting down the days till I can hear this track again. This needs to be a single, like, now, and Mariah needs to dust off those "Heartbreaker" remix roller skates for the video, pronto.

7. "Cruise Control" (co-produced by Jermaine Dupri) -- Another J.D. track that deviates from what could have been a detrimental pattern, this is a reggae-lite extended car metaphor ("I need a caddy wit some cruise control," belts Mariah). The chorus consists of her spelling out, "C-R-U-I-S-E control" and the second verse finds Mariah adopting a Jamaican affect for kicks: "When da door open I de gals pon de block / They be hop-on, to rob the clock / Me say no mam / Step up step up / Bottle broken / Tink I'm jokin'." Seriously, she says that. Damien Marley gets a guest verse, and I have to say, his shtick is a little more convincing.

8. "Side Effects" (co-produced by Scott Storch) -- You know how sometimes Southern rap almost has a heavy metal feel? Mariah and Storch exploit that by turning out a Southern-fried power ballad that's a thinly veiled portrait of her time under Tommy Mottola's reign ("Hell we built, and I dealt with it…Kept my tears inside ‘cause I knew if I started, I'd keep cryin' for the rest of my life with you / I finally built up the strength to walk away / Don't regret it…"). For someone as guarded as Mariah is publicly, it's shockingly frank (she alludes to "violent times") and really naked (the titular side effects refer to the toll the relationship has taken on her: she's "still a little depressed inside" and "still a little defensive thinkin' folks be tryin' to run my life"). This is another highlight, and having a rapper so associated with drugs (Jeezy) on a track called "Side Effects" that isn't about drugs at all, only makes things cleverer.

9. "Love Story" (co-produced by Jermaine Dupri) -- Anther ode to endless love ("This ain't no fairy tale or fiction / This is truly ours for eternity"), this ballad is more of the baby-making ilk. It's like Prince-lite with a synthesized beat a la "The Beautiful Ones," but not as effects-laden (i.e. the beat doesn't have the backwards sound). The melody is reminiscent of Mimi's "Joyride," and that should give you an indication of how sweet this track is.

10. "OOC" (co-produced by Swizz Beatz) -- This one has a pummeling thump so pronounced, it's somewhat surprising that it's not the work of Stargate or Tricky. "OOC" stands for "out of control," and while the track isn't exactly wild, it's a fun mix of The-Dream's "Ditch That N…" with a melody like Blu Cantrell's "Hit ‘Em Up Style." Besides the hypnotic refrain of "Forever and ever," the track is most notable for including the word motherf***er. As in, "I know y'all motherf***ers feel like we / When you're messin' with the one true lova / That makes you OOC." Hardcore!

11. "Bye Bye" (co-produced by Stargate) -- When Mariah first started promoting Mimi, she described "We Belong Together" as a cross between "Breakdown" and "One Sweet Day." That description is infinitely more appropriate for "Bye Bye," a song about death that's "for my people who just lost somebody," "for my people who lost their grandmothers" and seemingly for Mariah's departed father, Alfred Roy ("You never got to see me back at No. 1"). It's nice that Mariah's on a confessional kick, although a track with the "We Belong Together" sonic template and lyrics tailored appeal to everyone on such a basic level seems like too easy of a combination for someone as established as Mimi. This one's like insurance -- in case nothing else is a hit, here's a sure-shot. But ultimately, it turns out that the album is too good for that.

12. "I Wish You Well" (co-produced by James Poyser) -- We were told that this was hot off the presses and a very rough version of the song, but even in its unpolished state, it was a stunner. A piano ballad that features Mariah, some gospel-tinged backing vocals, a piano and that's it, this track is a throwback to the fan-favorite "Vanishing" from her 1990 debut. Part feisty ("You can't manipulate me like before") and totally spiritual (Mariah name-checks a bible verse in the chorus, although I couldn't catch exactly what it was, and she ends the song repeating, "The Lord is my salvation / I will trust in him"), "I Wish You Well" will have fans wetting themselves. It's gorgeous and in its simplistic way, the type of risk that Mariah should take more often.

The risky moments on the album ("Lovin' You Long Time," "That Chick," "Side Effects" and "I Wish You Well") bode well for the future. Though E=MC² feels extremely safe, there's enough variation to signify some artistic growth. She's cranking out hits and that's fine because that's what she's always done (hitmaking is her medium), but when she goes out of the Top 40 comfort zone, the album truly soars. Over 10 years after she first sang about it, it's only now that Mariah has worked up the courage to really spread her wings. The next question is: how high can they take her?

Bueno, el video tengo que decir que ha conseguido sacar de mi unas buenas carcajadas, es la personalidad "tontita" y cachondona de Mariah llevada al extremo. Vamos a ver... (Jamás pensé en mi vida que criticaría a la que para mi es la segunda tras Michael xD)

Podeis ver el video entero en aqui

http://www6.islandrecords.com/site/av.php?bcpid=1315753316&bclid=1295326835&bctid=1433966199

Está super divertido, J20 tiene razón con lo de la personalidad "Tontita" de Mariah, en el video lo llevan al límite, es divertido y te hace que la canción te guste (incluso) más.

Espero que os guste.
XOXO G.Boy

Pero supongo que os habreis dado cuenta de que el video es una gran parodia a la imagen de Mariah y a la imagen que de ella se da en los medios... me ha parecido un video muy divertido y es un movimiento muy inteligente por parte de Mariah... al menos demuestra que saber reirse de ella misma

El momento que sale Mariah paseando un unicornio no tiene precio!!! :jajaja::jajaja::jajaja:

jeje, tienes razón MariahFan, ese momento no tiene precio...Además Mariah tuvo que desmentir en su momento rumores de que un album suyo se llamaría "UNICORN", rumores que salieron ya que los títulos de los álbunes eran un poco cursi, Daydream, Musicbox, Rainbow, Butterfly etc... la verdad es que me hizo mucha gracia el video y me parece muy divertido... Jack McBrayer hizo sin duda una buena actuacion al igual que Miss Mariah

Saludos a todos los Fans de Mariah & Michael.

Love ya Chopy
G.Boy

A mi me ha gustado mucho, me he reído bastante, tiene puntos muy graciosos. Va más allá del argumento "qué buena estoy" que tienen todos los videos ahora, incluyendo sus últimos videos, y está en clave de humor. Si el disco tiene canciones tan "buenas" como esta, si no hay temas peores, por mi parte iré el primer día a comprar el disco a las tiendas.

Os dejo el video en youtube:

http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=KgFnMjymXI0

Y en www.mariahdaily.com han puesto enlaces para descargarlo en calidad DVD, para el iPod, etc.

Sera divertido y una parodia pero sigue fomentando esa imagen. Con lo bien que quedaria mas tapadita, dandole mas seriedad a su musica. Pero esta visto que nunca va a cambiar.

Eso si, estoy deseando escuchar el disco entero y si es bueno digo lo mismo que unbreakableboy me lo compro el primer dia.

El video me ha parecido muy bueno, muy divertido, el tio muy cachondo sobretodo al principio cuando la reconoce "MARIAH CAREYYYYYAAAAAAHHHH!!!!":jajaja::jajaja::jajaja:

La cancion me ha encantado, y Mariah guapisima como siempre, me encanta cuando se rie de ella misma, que maja es.

Si el disco es asi de bueno, me lo compro el primer dia. El emancipation me encanto, me parece uno de sus mejores discos desde el MusicBox, y si este lleva el mismo estilo, me lo compro segurisimo.

Mariah ayer promocionando TMB en 106&Park de Vh1...

ESPECTACULAR!

No la habia visto tan guapa des de 1996

Os paso el link de la entrevista en 106&Park de Bet (no Vh1 como habia dicho)

Tenéis que verlo todos!! ya echaba de menos a la Mariah divertida!

En la entrevista Mariah da más secretos sobre el disco, el porque del título, comenta de una forma muy divertida como ha perdido peso, bromean sobre las fotos arregladas digitalmente con Photoshop (de lo que ella sabe un rato )... etc..

Aqui tenéis el link:

y alguna foto mas de BET

Uffff esta guapisima, por favor Mariah no engordes, siento ser tan puñetera con este tema pero es que a esta mujer unos kilitos de mas la matan, de cara parece otra.

Deseando que se filtre YA entero.

¡Qué delgada se ha quedado! Lo dice en el video, tiene un entrenador personal y hace una dieta aburrida.

Me encanta el humor de esta mujer, me encanta su sonrisa Me encantaría que me invitara a su apartamento de Nueva York... I love U Mariah!

Por cierto, he probado su colonia en una tienda y es un poco demasiado empalagosa para mi gusto, me recuerda a la de Innocent de Thierry Mugler, que de entrada es muy empalagosa, pero va oliendo mejor a medida que se asienta en la piel y pierde las notas de entrada. Aunque el frasco es chulísimo...
