Mariah Carey Might Join Def Jam Records
« on: January 25, 2002, 06:48:52 PM »
-- Mariah Carey is reportedly in talks with Def Jam Records CEO Lyor Cohen for a two-album deal valued at $3 million to $5 million per album, according to the New York Post. Cohen was noticeably absent from a press conference on Thursday (January 24) announcing the release of R. Kelly and Jay-Z's forthcoming Def Jam release, The Best Of Both Worlds.

Earlier this week, Carey officially parted ways with her record label, EMI's Virgin Records, with a $28 million payoff that ended her multi-album, multimillion-dollar international recording contract. The singer was also able to keep the $21 million paid to her when the Virgin contract was signed in April 2001, and thus gained a total of $49 million from the short-lived deal, which saw the release of only a single album, Glitter. The fallout between Carey and Virgin was largely due to the commercial failure of Glitter, which has sold barely 500,000 copies in the United States.

Mariah Carey is a fruitcake.  She is done.  Nobody gives a fuck about her anymore.  Thats why her last record "Glitter" hardly cracked 2 million in sales.  And the movie did 100x worse!

Some of Mariahs stuff has been quite good i think ...  ;D
Def Jam+mariah could be interesting .. just think of her and
all the other people on Def Jam collbatating ....
favorite mariah songs ..
anytime u need a friend,hero,honey ft p.diddy .. breakdown with bone and thugs ... sweetheart .. heakbreaker with jay z,..that song with whitney houston "if u belive" i think it was called ..remix of heartbreaker .. with the beat from snoops "ain't no fun" ft missy elliot and da brat .. Cry baby ft snoop .. and that first song from glitter was alright too ..
this is off topic .. but is foxy brown leaving Def Jam ?

Recognize, Mariah can be good on a chorus, but a whole song with her is no better than Britney with a hangover. As Def Jam is mainly rap with a tint of R'n'B, she should be used mainly as a "chorus-groupie", which suits her fine as she can "do" the rappers afterwards.
