Some shots feature three versions of Carey singing into a microphone on the screen at one time. [76] Virgin replied that in terms of Carey's payout, they only listed the money they gave her for departing, not including the $23.5 million they already had paid while under contract for the first and only album they released by her.

[27] She described Carey as "cheapening her image" and wrote "The whiff of desperation grows more pungent on 'Glitter' in Carey's gratuitous coloratura and transparent enlistment of street-cred boosters such as rappers Ja Rule and Mystikal. [13] Additionally, aside from sampling "Candy" as the musical bed for the song, Cameo serves as a featured artist on the song. Musically, Glitter was structured to be a retro-influenced album and have more of a dance-oriented element. On July 20, Carey held a record signing for the CD single of "Loverboy" at Roosevelt Field shopping mall in Long Island before fans and the media. [39][40] In Switzerland, the album peaked at number seven, and stayed within the chart for ten weeks. In the days following her appearance on TRL, Carey began displaying what was described as "erratic behavior". But by this time, Carey and her now ex-husband Tommy Mottola, head of her record company Columbia, did not have a good working or personal relationship. [57] Following its limited promotional push from Virgin, and the absence of a music video, the song failed to make much of an impact. "[66] While she later revealed that Daly was aware of her presence in the building prior to her appearance, she admitted that he was meant to act surprised in order to provide a more dramatic effect for the program. [76] The matter was resolved outside of court, with Carey and Virgin opting not to take the matter to the judicial system. As the song stalled on the American charts, Virgin dropped its price to spur sales, which helped the single peak at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100; internationally, the song failed to garner much traction. [63] Originally, Carey had sampled the melody and hook from the 1978 Yellow Magic Orchestra song "Firecracker", using an interpolation of it throughout the chorus and introduction. [60] The album's fourth and final single, "Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica)", released on November 26, 2001,[61] mirrored the same weak charting as "Never Too Far", although receiving more rotation on MTV due to its video.

Brothers argues that "Lead the Way" shows Carey's "strongest vocal performance of the 2000s. [18] In the song, Carey sings "I was only trying to be nice / Only trying to be nice / Sooooooo, I didn't mean to turn you on", indicating a woman who is weakly apologetic over fooling a man over intimacy. And following the poor sales of the album as well, Virgin invoked a clause in its contract with Carey that allowed Virgin to get out of the $100 million deal for approximately $28 million. By coveringor heavily sampling several older tunes and songs, Carey created Glitter as an album t… ", "Mariah Carey's 'Glitter' Soundtrack Lands On The iTunes Top 10 Chart 17 Years Later", "Let's Remember the Glitter Soundtrack, Mariah Carey's Best 'Bad' Album", "Mariah Carey's 'Glitter' Album Tops The US iTunes Chart, And It Only Took 17 Years", "It's Time We Embrace the Mariah Carey That Is, Not the Mariah Carey That Was", "The Lambily Got Mariah Carey's Glitter Soundtrack to No. [23] She was "child like and effervescent", but behind her mask of happiness was "a well" of lifelong and deep-rooted pain. Glitter featured several other musical acts such as Eric Benét, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Fabolous, and Ja Rule. This led to it reaching number one on the iTunes albums charts in several countries including the United States, and top 10 in several countries worldwide. [46], In November 2018, the album became the subject of a campaign by Carey fans as part of the build-up to her fifteenth studio album, Caution. [28] Glitter became Carey's lowest peaking album in the United States, with her second album Emotions (1991), coming in at number four. [13] Sarah Rodman from the Boston Herald compared it to Carey's previous lead singles, and described its production as "another in an increasingly long line of glitzy, candy-coated, creatively stunted Carey songs". [65] After several months, Carey signed a new $20 million deal with Island Records, which also included Carey's own vanity label, MonarC Entertainment. Musically, Glitter was notably different from anything Carey had ever written or recorded, drawing influence from the 1980s. "[13] With lyrics reading "Feelin' kinda fragile and I've got a lot to handle / But I guess this is my way of saying goodbye", David Browne from Entertainment Weekly felt that Carey was possibly referring to her own suicide rather than her friends, especially in light of the events that were taking place during the album's release. [70] News websites and programs began reporting how Carey threatened to commit suicide by slitting her wrists the night before, and how Patricia, Carey's mother, hastily called for help. [41] The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) certified Glitter Gold in Switzerland, for shipments of 20,000 copies. [17] Cinquemani felt the song was reminiscent of Carey's ballads during the earlier lengths of her career, and described the song as a "simple beauty". [6] Carey put the project on hold again to record her album Rainbow (1999). [8] She opted to record an album partly mixed with 1980s influenced disco and other similar genres, in order to go with the film's setting. "[2] Michael Paoletta from Billboard was less critical, citing it as a "minor misstep in a stellar career that has earned the singer a few free passes.
