“Million Dollar Bill” was supposed to be the first single from I Look To You. We were surprised that this ballad came first, but it makes sense. People want the old Whitney back. This is the closest thing. She’s looking demure and preened, isn’t she?
What is iTunes LP?
1Along with the new iTunes 9.0 came a great treat to anyone who is in love with the album sleeve. As you can tell, over here at Loft965.com we love music artwork a lot. So, it came as a great news when we found out that album covers are not enough anymore and that, now, we can actually get the entire booklet along with the album. That’s the sex. It’s a new technology and there are only a few albums that have that, but we look forward to the influx of sleeves. Yay for all of the sleeve lovers.

Mariah Carey’s sampler for Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel has leaked
3Now, you can listen to snippets of all of Mariah Carey’s songs on Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel over at LoopGum.com. The tracks sound very scrumptious and very soulful. There are a bunch of slow numbers and good percentage of midtempo. As per usual, there’s an absence of uptempo, but that never hurt Mariah. The interludes, reprises and prologues all sound like great syncers and stand-alones. This is our take, but then again we are huge fans.

Ellen Degeneres replaces Paula Abdul on American Idol
2We think she’s going to be a good judge. Maybe less friendly than Paula Abdul, but realer, if that’s a word. She loves music and she has a great sense of humor, so she will add an edge. Because the others surely don’t have that.
