How Mariah Carey can get back on track
Any tips on how to revive Mariah Carey's career? -- Tophe Azzo
How about doing something, anything, different? When Carey left Sony for Def Jam two years ago, everyone assumed her R&B side would be beefed up. Instead, ''Charmbracelet'' was more of the same. Carey should unleash her inner disco diva by working with producers and writers who could supply her with great songs, as opposed to melodic mush meant to showcase her melisma. (Why not consider one of Madonna's recent, techno-drenched collaborators?) More elegant threads wouldn't hurt either.
