Re: With You (84,240) (84,245) by Special K from USA Is the song about my baby? Yay. Team Tanaka. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 00:51)

Re: "Fan" reactions (84,228) (84,244) by Special K from USA Andrew you know your grouchy ass ain't going no where. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 00:50)

Re: With You snippet (84,205) (84,243) by Bobby A from United States This is a number #1 hit. She did it this time Lambs. What more can we ask for and not get a JD song as a first single? (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 00:29)

Re: With You (84,233) (84,242) by Andrew from UK I am clearly a totally different kind of lamb than everyone else. As stated many times before, I couldn't give a flying shit who lyrics are about. I don't even want them to be about anyone. Lyrics should be universal so the song is accessible to everyone. And the music must be powerful and catchy. Everything else for a single, especially a first single, a comeback single, is just a waste of material. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 23:47)

Re: In a bubble (84,225) (84,241) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines This is the downside of Mariah having solidified her status as a hitmaker, especially throughout her first decade in the industry. She continues to set expectations despite not having a #1 hit in 10 years. When she gears up for something, it has been instinctual for us to set ourselves up for possible failure even when we know she is way past her prime and the younger audience no longer recognize her. No one does the same for Mary J or Celine, which shows how different Mariah is. Their fans don't put too much pressure or emphasis on a singles chart potential. They just enjoy the music. Unluckily for us Mariah fans, we always hope for a huge comeback like it's 2005. AIWFCIY's new chart peak last year certainly didn't help matters. I guess it's no one's fault, really, but all these expectations are really keeping us from enjoying the music. We are all guilty of this. So if Mariah is about to unleash an album full of album cuts with no standalone single led by non-commercial sounding midtempos like GTFO and With You, a lot of us are gonna be bored and disappointed, but it is what it is. The bright side about these 2 songs so far it that the vocals aren't too engineered to suspicious perfection unlike the last album, which was good, but much of her vocals were too heavily edited. I look forward to really, honestly appreciating a new Mariah song for what it is without chart expectations in mind, and after all this time, I'm still so not there yet, but I hope I'll get to that point sometime. But until then, here's hoping that With You somehow resonates with the public, because for the first time in a long time, with all the promotional strategies her team has employed so far, she seems to genuinely believe in this one, and the last time that happened was with #Beautiful.

Re: With You (84,233) (84,240) by Mara from United States B, that is exactly the feeling I got too. Def about the "almost Packer vows" and not the ones she actually "took" with Tommy. I think it's about Tanaka. Sorry I meant I agree with Sheez. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 21:39)

Fans reactions (84,239) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Everybody is entitled to their opinion whether we choose to agree or disagree. But for me if I am constantly saddened or disappointed by a person I think the best thing for me to do is stop giving that person my energy or support. To all those who have reached that point with Mariah the time has come for you to move on, and just remember your good times and memories that Mariah the person and her art have brought to your life. Just a thought. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 21:15)

Re: "Fan" reactions (84,228) (84,238) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I see Andrew is still out here complaining, hating on MC and dissing fellow lambs. Hi Drew. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 20:38)

Re: With You (84,233) (84,237) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh no, I was just starting to forget that MW existed. You got me triggered again haha. I am excited about the new song and video. I liked the snippet and the little video snippet looks nice. I hope it has a story line to it. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 20:36)

Re: With You (84,233) (84,236) by Lexingz from Estonia Shezz I agree completely. I snickered when I realized that earlier (the Tanaka thing) but there is something to the "balls to the wall", childish sincerity. I am going to accept and love her for it. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 19:58)

Re: With You, my birthday (84,201) (84,235) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Happy Birthday Stacy. Have a great day my friend. I agree the cover art is very Sonyesque. I always have loved her b&w stuff. The trailers on Instagram are on point and I like the snippets thus far. Credit where it is due for her and her team. I’ve loved the last 2 covers. Fingers crossed she left out the expletive. Lol. 41 and fabulous indeed. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 19:42)

Re: With You (84,233) (84,234) by RibbonB from USA That song was written in 2015. But keep buying into the fantasy. Lol. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 19:08)

Re: With You (84,230) (84,233) by Shezz from Pk I think she's clearly talking about how Tanaka "saved" her from her almost marriage to Packer. "In front of the whole damn nation": In Mariah's world, all of America apparently watched Mariah's World in which Tanaka convinced Mariah in a totally unscripted and genuine way to choose him and ditch her fiance. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 18:48)

With You snippet 2 (84,232) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I was a bit disappointed with the first longest snippet, but the snippet Mariah shared today makes me exited. It's the first song since #Beautiful that gives naturally good wibes. I really like the repetitive "with you" and the harmonies, it induces positive feelings. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 18:34)

With You teaser 2 (84,231) by B from USA The second teaser Mariah shared this morning sounds promising. The way she repeatedly sings With You is infectious. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 17:33)

With You (84,230) by Chris Owen from UK From listening to the lyrics in the snippet, With You appears to be about her marriage to Tommy. "She had doubts like they might not make it. There was vows she bound to take them. Full of such trepidation, there in front of the whole damn nation." It's definitely growing on me. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 17:13)

With You (84,229) by B from USA This snippet has me excited, it's not the one that's already been shared. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 16:35)

Re: "Fan" reactions (84,211) (84,228) by Andrew from UK Sweetheart, you may just get your way. For if, after all this time, this album is another mess, I would suggest that many of the few remaining fans Mariah has left will jump ship. Myself included. Then you delusional snowflakes can live in your crazy world where you deny reality and condemn anybody who speaks truth to power. That song is a massive disappointment for a comeback single and I'm pissed off with it. It sounds like a half assed album cut. Period. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 16:00)

With You (84,227) by B from USA It definitely grows on you. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 15:44)

Re: With You snippet (84,216) (84,226) by B from USA I refuse to judge a song off of a 30 second poor quality snippet. I'm hoping for the best. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 15:36)

In a bubble (84,225) by george golden from uk Her problem is she doesn't know the difference between a single and an album cut. GTFO is an album cut and besides it has put a lot of her older fans off and the new fans ones don't care. With You sounds like another album cut. Self obsession and living in a bubble have contributed to her downfall. Her videos are soft porn and offputting. #Beautiful was an amazing single and then the video came out. She should give up the hip hop Barbie image she adopted since 1997. I am just frustrated with so many missed chances this last ten years. She is not that old, if she hires creative directors and listens to advice she would do better. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 15:33)

Re: With You snippet (84,216) (84,224) by Lexingz from Estonia I feel like this is the first time I am actually very much looking forward to a new song from Mariah since Glitter (which is an album I love btw). What a weird realization for someone who has been a fan for 20 years. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 15:14)

Re: With You snippet (84,216) (84,223) by Shezz from Pk I'm sure there is something in the song, in the chorus perhaps that made Roc Nation and Epic pick it as the official first single. I didn't like the GTFO snippet but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I just feel the clip doesn't sound like anything new, not that I didn't like what I heard. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 15:10)

Re: With You snippet (84,207) (84,209) (84,222) by Lexingz from Estonia At least it sounds like something she might pull off nicely when she performs live. It sounds pleasant enough. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 15:09)

Re: With You snippet (84,216) (84,221) by Bobby A from United States I love it. This is the MC we have been waiting on. Can't wait to hear the full song for that big chorus and climax. Let's get this already hit on pop radio on Friday. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 14:51)
