Mariah Carey Breakdown Alert


Mariah Carey Breakdown Alert - Rihanna
Rihanna is so hot right now her popularity rivals Beyonce. Who would of ever thought? That popularity hasn't transferred into record sales but she'll live. Her monster single, "Umbrella" has definitely taken her to another level. Two years three albums later and Rihanna has not slowed down yet! I even read that she is beginning work on a new album. I wasn't really surprised upon reading the news. It makes her the perfect candidate for the "Mariah Carey Breakdown Alert". Def Jam and Jay-Z is working this poor girl to death. She might wind up in "Rehab" a la Amy Winehouse, the very thing both singers sang about. I think there comes a time where you reward yourself by taking a nice long vacation. I know some labels, executives want artists to strike while their hot which is perfectly understandable. But at what cost? You see Ashanti slowed down after like 5 albums in a row. Thank God or she would of been a candidate. I hope Rihanna takes a break. She needs it and she definitely deserves it.

Lamar, first off, I love this new category for articles - 'The Mariah Carey Breakdown Alert', its an excellent idea.

I totally agree about Rihanna. I guess the thing with these younger, less established artists is, they can't be like Janet, Mariah or Michael Jackson who can just release albums at a steady pace because they already have a massive faithful fanbase and legacy. I think she's just trying to create a legacy for herself before she slows down and falls off. (yes, it would be possible even for Rihanna or Beyonce at this point if they don't stay in the limelight imo)

I have to say I was the same when I heard she was preparing to record a new album already though. I was like: "Damn! I just got her new one and she's comin' out again!" Thanks for the brainfood as always. ;)

Perhaps she is trying to create a legacy but I also feel like she's told to "get in the studio...record record" kinda like Mariah was told early in her career. I think Rihanna could work some of her albums longer and produce more hits.

Oh yeah I don't disagree she's heading for a breakdown with all this damn touring, performing, recording, promoting and shit. I would prefer her to work the singles first too but I guess if she wants that legacy she needs an album a year. (as you said like Mariah in the 90s)
