Remy and Caymus (84,270) by Ethan from United States I love how Mariah is freely endorsing these alcohol brands: Caymus in GTFO and Remy in With You. It's definitely her signature style from naming people (Bobby Womack, Babyface, Wendy Williams, etc.) to things (Harvard, YouTube, Windex, etc.). It feels like there are a few snippets and they (music chords) are kind of similar to the ones she's shared yet at times they don't sound alike. One more freaking day. GTFO.

Re: If we really think about it (84,262) (84,269) by Musti from UK I totally agree. It's hard to believe that some people are more concerned about what she should be doing than what she has actually done. Like Yiorgos said she has already fixed many things that we were unhappy about, yet some people still find crap to complain about. I'm very excited about the new era, and I think for the first time I will be celebrating away from this board. This used to be a place for the underdog who didn't wanna be one of her "enablers", yet now it's just board for a bunch of grumpy and delusional "lambs" who just can't accept that she's an artist way past her prime who is just trying to do the best she can. To think that some of you have the cheek to judge her for recycling WBT when you keep recycling the same expectations everytime she releases something new. The 90s are never coming back, get over it.

Where's little Stacey Daydream? (84,268) by Licia from USA Lol I know she's throwing a Daydream party to celebrate the 23 year anniversary. She's made her children, the pets, and her husband dress like different Mariah's during that era. That's actually what I plan on doing when CB turns 20. Those pictures are going to be epic.

Re: With You (84,247) (84,267) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I'll try and be more active now that a new era is upon us. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 15:56)

Stay with Mariah (84,266) by Ben from Sweden I stay with Mariah because I've always been with Mariah. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 15:12)

First single always the right choice (84,265) by T from USA I think the chances of Mariah coming out with something in the tempo of Heartbreaker or Emotions or Someday is not going to happen. First of all they are too pop leaning for her tastes and maybe that's the problem. She should embrace some of the songs that brought her to the dance in the first place. But I do know this, in terms of first single selections the only one that may have been "wrong" at the time was Loverboy (and that wasn't even the original version of her first single so it doesn't really count). Otherwise she has always picked the the right choice to lead off the era she's embarking on. Vision of Love, Emotions, Dreamlover, Fantasy, Honey, Heartbreaker, Loverboy, Through The Rain, It's Like That, Touch My Body, Obsessed, #Beautiful. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 14:45)

Re: If we really think about it (84,262) (84,264) by Bill from the UK Despite the fact I am clearly Team 90s, I cannot help but be interested in any news of MC, I'm always excited to hear she is releasing new material, and I will always buy her albums no matter what she puts out. I set my expectations quite low these days. We aren't ever going to get another Fantasy or Heartbreaker. Hell, we won't ever get another Loverboy, and I really don't care about chart positions. She has nothing to prove. So long as the music is good that's all I'm really interested in. But frankly, bar of couple of exceptions, the last decade's output has been pretty abysmal by her standards. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 14:45)

Re: If we really think about it (84,262) (84,263) by Lexingz from Estonia Same 100%. And very happily excited for tomorrow. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 14:40)

If we really think about it (84,262) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Knowing how hellish most of Mariah's career has been this decade especially post-AI, we should really take a moment to appreciate how much of a good place she is in right now compared to where she was at any moment between 2012 to present. Let our greed as fans not blind us from the facts that Mariah hasn't looked this good, hasn't had a team this good, and hasn't been in a better place in her personal life than she currently is in a long time. We have our criticisms on her choices and her output, and we are entitled to those, but this time I have learned to stop myself when I start getting too critical or idealistic or selfish, reminding myself that this very time last year, Mariah was still with Stella and she wasn't in the best shape physically, and that 2-3 years ago things were probably even worse. Maybe it's a low bar when you're glad that someone still exists, but after all the legends we have lost in the last 10 years (most of whom gone before their time), it always makes me extremely grateful that I can still actually say that the artist I grew up listening to most is still alive and looking the best she could for her age. With You come out really soon. Hit or flop, I'll still be in for the ride for sure. Now the question is, will you? (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 12:59)

With You climax (84,261) by Shezz from Pk Some big vocals and runs. She best be lipping this bit unless she really has it rehearsed down to the T. Sounds like this song builds up well - fingers crossed. For people who are into spoilers: It is picturised on their MW scene in this clip (fan made). About my post. That is obviously not Mariah. I think I'm just too excited. Sorry. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 12:36)

Re: "Fan" reactions (84,254) (84,260) by Shezz from Pk Sorry, don't mean to answer for Andrew but I know what he wants and I agree. He wants a big first single in the vein of Emotions, Dreamlover, Fantasy, Honey, Heartbreaker, It's Like That etc. with a good strong beat and full vocals and not a pretty, mellow and hushed number, as beautiful as it may be it doesn't make for a good first single at this point for Mariah. Though I'm waiting to be surprised by the full song and I'm sure I'll love it and the whole album as well, as it stands now, it doesn't bode well commercially. That being said even if Mariah were to release We Belong Together or Fantasy now, it probably would not chart well either. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 11:01)

Re: With you (84,258) (84,259) by Billy from Greece Great post, Yiorgo. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 09:50)

With you (84,258) by yiorgos from Germany , Berlin I agree with all the guys saying that if someone is so disappointed from what Mariah is delivering after so many years (at least she is still doing music and we got some great song in the last years regardless if they became hits) he should move on and don't waste energy. On the other hand also I think it's too early to judge from only the snippet, sure we get a video and a taste from it but I can't say for sure yet if I love it or hate it, sounds like Mariah and I like the simple production, but lets wait and see. Also has happened many times that I got to like a song after a few times listening to eat or even after the video came out. In general it seams like she is doing most of the things we where asking and hoping for, more promotion, better publicity, better styling (although could still improve) way better covers, the video of GTFO (was a beauty video) but still looked good and came on time and not a month after and was not even the official single, judging from GTFO and With You until now, she is making songs with producers she didn't work before with a current sound to please the mass but still Mariah style. So ok we can't only complain. Remember what we where having a year ago and at the end of the day she is not 20 any more if that's the best she can do or what's she feels like doing ok by me. If I like it great if I don't like it that much it's sad but still doesn't take away all the work she has given us in the past to make me upset with her. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 08:14)

Re: With You (84,242) (84,257) by Luke from United Kingdom Andrew, you're the lamb in the petting zoo that charges at everyone's ankles and sends little toddlers plummeting into alternate dimensions. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 07:56)

Re: With You (84,242) (84,256) by Shezz from Pk Agreed. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 03:50)

Re: With You (84,250) (84,255) by Shezz from Pk Haha you're believing too many things you're reading. Diane Warren, Drake, power ballad. Only thing that's true is that it's produced by DJ Mustard and that this is going to be Andrew's bop for life. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 03:49)

Re: "Fan" reactions (84,244) (84,254) by Mara from United States Ugh, Andrew - aren't you the least bit excited about the start of a new era or are you that soured about MC? What kind of kick start would it take for you to be supportive or have faith again? Serious question. Also, I cannot speak for everyone else here, but I feel it kind of is important with who MC writes her songs about, making it more personal and meaningful to her as in what is going on in her life right now. It's like a mini diary, and as a fan since debut Mariah, that used to be the only way we could get into her head or know what she was thinking as she used to be incredibly private. Minus the horrible nightmare years, Mariah never got too personal as you know. So it kind of always was an interest of mine to try and figure out if the song was autobiographical. Just my thing. Not yours? I totally respect that. But I'm just curious, honestly as to what she has to do to make you a happy fan/lamb right now. I am just happy to be getting a full album of new material from the woman who has had a song for every moment in my life. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 03:38)

"With You" impacting AC and Hot AC October 15th (84,253) by T from USA It's nice to know where they are planning on focusing this era so that way there is no misunderstandings. Mariah's last "top 40" Rhythmic album was Memoirs and that's how it should be. I wish they would've taken the AC route for The Elusive Chanteuse as it would've worked nicely with American Idol in marketing. It was a stretch to think Mariah could still be radio hit material at the age of 43 unfortunately. But I think they are going to write the wrongs from the last era. It seems it will play out more like Janet's Unbreakable (but with better promo). Think of all the over 37 year old girls that tried at Pop/Rhythmic this year and failed miserably. I wonder if Madonna has taken notice. PS. I guess iHeart was for nothing as she will still have a hard time at radio. (She's going to need a bigger than WBT song to make any sort of dent.) (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 02:46)

With you (84,252) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) According to reports With You will impact A/C radio formats beginning on 10/15. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 02:26)

Re: With You (84,242) (84,251) by B from USA Since 20009/2010 lyrics have to be able to be dissected down to the last ad-lib to generate buzz. For a single to be successful the verses have to be personal and the chorus/hook has to be universal. From the snippets Mariah's new song follows suit. The verses will get Mariah mentioned in the blogs and tabloids and if the chorus/hook is strong she just might score a hit. From the teasers it looks like we're getting a video with an actual storyline. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 02:19)

Re: With You (84,248) (84,250) by RibbonB from USA The ballad co written with Diane Warren, although I am reading on Twitter now, that Diane says it's not her song. Time will tell how good the song is and what it's supposed to be about and even who wrote it. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 01:25)

Re: With You (84,242) (84,249) by Bobby A from United States Andrew, if MC collaborated with Billy Joel for a 12 track piano ballad album that sounded like Joeliarah and the songs could be universally about anybody, you still would have problem with our Mimi. So tell me when did you start to dislike Mimi so much. After Glitter or MOIA? Disconnect your internet and turn off BBC radio on October 4th. Because we are going to celebrate Thursday without you, dude. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 01:18)

Re: With You (84,234) (84,248) by Shezz from Pk What was written in 2015? (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 01:04)

Re: With You (84,237) (84,247) by Shezz from Pk What'll it take to get you to come back here regularly? (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 01:03)

Re: With You (84,242) (84,246) by Atwood from NY What is she coming back from? (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 00:56)
