She'll leave. Theres no question. They'll do the remix album and that will be it. LA Reid's single choices have been ridiculous. MOAIA and E=MC2 both lost huge momentum with the second singles and that is his fault. Touch My Body was number 1 and Obsessed was platinum. Its ridiculous that the albums didn't sell more. I get the feeling that Mariah didn't want to do the seperate features album. Its all a bit too calculated and I really feel that some of the songs weren't meant to be ballads but were produced that way to fit this songbird theme that Reid wanted. The album will do better with the features but Mariah will be gone afterward. I'd like to see a Live Nation deal myself
