Concept album?
As has been asked already, how is this a concept album? While the spirit of the album may have a concept of 'freedom,' the songs themselves do not. If any Mariah album is a concept album, it's Daydream as pretty much every song on that album is about a daydream/fantasy.

Yeah, I agree
TEOM isn't really a concept album at all. I don't see Daydream as a concept album, but it's more of one than this (Rainbow, Glitter, and CB) would even be better examples.

"Mine Again"
I think a page should be created for "Mine Again." Someone could mention it charting on R&B/Hip-Hop Singles, as well as the utilization of live instruments.

Well, theres been debate of whether there should be pages for these unsolicited singles that chart anyway, but for now, Mine Again charting should be mentioned in the main article.

It has been revealed Mine Again will go on to UAC formats on August 29th,: mariahdaily.com, allaccess.com

Section titled "Current promotion"
We read that To promote the album to her Dutch audience, Mariah also gave a free concert in Copenhagen, Denmark where she encountered some humorous publicity when she suffered a minor wardrobe malfunction (not caught on tape).

1. Copenhagen is an odd choice of venues for appealing to a Dutch audience. Is "Dutch" a mistake for "Danish", or is the city wrong?
 * Oops, you're right, it was at the German concert two days before apparently.

2. Did her tit fall out, or what?
 * Apparently it did, but she caught it quickly.

3. The article for this ludicrous term says that her dress fell off when performing in Germany. Different incident?

We also read: ''Most recently, Carey was seen promoting the album in a very intimate fashion by going to a European amusement park and spending it was friends like Mark Sudack, "Dat Baby" and various fans. One of the fans at the event, Mari is deemed as a minor security threat for stalking Mariah. (Mari is the infamous stalker-fan who took a plane from Spain to Mariah's TriBeca apartment, after Carey made a joke on MTV Cribs asking fans to come over.)''

1. "Most recently" is built-in obsolescence.

2. What on earth is "intimate" about visiting an amusement park?
 * It was intimate because she was just hanging out with fans and going on rides with them very casually.

3. Mari (the link is irrelevant) sounds a pain in the posterior. But he or she is only a "minor security threat". Do minor security threats warrant sentences in articles? Sounds like a nobody to me. Yes, I think I'll zap this bit right now.
 * Well, I put minor security threat, because she's not like the type of stalker fan who is going to kill her (or at least anytime soon), but they thought she was a minor security threat after she came from Spain to Mariah's NY apartment, and this girl seems to follow Mariah everywhere.

 * Thank you for the replies -- though (cough) I do suggest signing (" ~ ") in future. Some I understand, some I don't. But I'm afraid I have to take a break from this and most other articles during a period of a week or so in which my net access is very slow and expensive. I expect and hope to be back a bit later. -- Hoary 14:47, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh sorry, I normally don't forget. Hah, I will patiently wait for you to come back to edit again :p OmegaWikipedia 19:51, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

Other corrections
Under THE ALBUM, why did you write that Rainbow is the album critics consider her best? Daydream is her only album to make multiple appearances on year-end critical lists, and Butterfly is the album that now gets mentions on all-time lists. One of these is probably the one critics call her best.

Also, commas and periods belong within quote marks, not outside of them. For instance, a series of songs should be written as: "Circles," "I Wish You Knew," etc.


 * This is indeed one convention. Another is the opposite: to write '"Circles", "I Wish You Knew",' etc. The former convention is commoner in the Youess than the Youkay, the latter commoner in the Youkay than the Youess. I believe that both conventions are used in the English-language WP. -- Hoary 01:08, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

Ms. and Mr. are not Wikipedia usage
Even notables like Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton are not referred to as Ms. (or Mrs.) in Wikipedia articles, and male notables like John Kerry are not referred to as Mr.. That's why I am removing such references from the Mimi article. Moriori 22:04, August 16, 2005 (UTC)

We should keep the R. Kelly section because it was part of the making of the album (even if it didnt work out), and at the time, the fact the two were even working together was high profile. And it's Trackster OmegaWikipedia 23:47, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Oops, I spoke too soon. It's not Trackster, or Traxster, but "The Legendary Traxster" OmegaWikipedia 23:50, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
