featured! 'The Emancipation of Mimi' by Mariah Carey turns 15-years-old

[Spicechinodiva]

In 2005 on this day. A power was released. 

The emancipation of Mimi. Which Billboard has deemed the most iconic comeback album of all time. At the time Mariah hated the word comeback. But now she agrees. 

She went from being the top act of the 90s. To virtually a joke, A has been overnight and one that critics thought could never see the success she once had.

Then came mimi. And the rest is history. 

Her and JD made music history.

We belong together became the most successful song of the 00s decade. 

Making Mariah historically the only act to have the top Billboard song of the decade in two different decades.

90s One sweet day

00s We belong together.

Her most Grammy nominated album to date. 

10 altogether 7 in 2006. Where she performed fly like a bird (starting an official MC trend end her secular albums with a gospel song) and ended up being the night's only standing ovation.

3 in 2007. Altogether Mariah herself told Barbara Walters that the only Grammys she cared about winning were The R&B ones

She won Best contemporary R&B album, Best R&B song, Best R&B female vocal performance both for we belong together. 

The album has a direct sequel. 2008's E=MC². Which while a success.  Wasn't as successful as The Emancipation of Mimi.

Happy 15 years to the Album that made Mariah the legend she is today.

obsessed isn’t even in her top 50

imagine saying something so ignorant like this when you have probably never even heard her discography outside of a select few hits, your taste is trash but none of us are surprised

This is where I say. You are very general public in the taste of MC. Probably an European who hates urban music as most do.

NNNNNN OMG THIS DRAG  european g@ys really do have the most one-dimensional taste in music they think if a song doesn’t have electropop, disco or dance-inspired productions that it’s presumably trash

Read La Reid's book sing to me. 

 

He got fired by Lucian head of UMG US. 

 

And it was all about refusing to Do a UK/ European remixed album of The emancipation of mimi. 

 

As Lucian said it was to "Urban" for British audiences.

 

@JordanMiller La reid was really fired over this. And details it very vividly on sing to me.

You are missing out on legit golden gems, you need to give her entire discography a chance, I promise you won't be disappointed 

[Gayseus911]

I didn't know this was her comeback album because I was a kid and didn't know much about charts, this album was pure gold! My favourite track was Stay the night and mine again

 

I can't wait for Britneys The Emancipation of Brit Brit, when she sings about breaking out of her conservatorship and how Jaime and Lou are the Tommy Motola in her life. 

[Jordan Miller]

I'm gonna make you want to 
Get with me tonight 
I'm gonna put those naughty 
Thoughts into your mind 
I'm gonna show you clearly, I can rock your world 
You're gonna know for sure 
That I should be your girl 

[Jordan Miller]

Main paged and promoted on social media btw @Spicechinodiva

 GET HA 

[Spicechinodiva]

And Japan and UK got this gem as a bonus track. A rare target 2 cd reissue of the platinum edition offered Sprung as a one track cd on disc 2. It's expensive to get now.
