The highly anticipated album, at least by me, has not been bringing in the same numbers her last album, E=MC2, brought in. Almost a 70 percent drop, from 460K (E=MC2) to 170K for the new album. My opinion is this album is better than the last, so that's shocking. Madonna has had no PR promotion hardly for her new album and her first week projected sales were 90k. What is wrong with this picture? Many critics criticized Obsessed for it's bubble gum high-school girl lyrics and Mariah's provocative looks, like for her last video Touch My Body.
But are we really surprised? Over the years we have watched Mariah grow and get older but not really if you know what I mean. Other than that, Mariah's voice is just not the same. I have seen many live performances that were too hard to get through. Especially because when it came to live performers, Mariah was always on top! She has now resorted to whispering, low octaves and high harmonizing. We true fans have long wanted her PR people to start promoting her as a true Diva, not someone trying to compete with Britany Spears or Beyonce. Mariah should have her own category.
