I love this (83,882) by Dav from Ireland Really re-framed the song for me. (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 23:19)

Re: Toni Braxton featured? (83,874) (83,881) by Bill from the UK Agree. Very odd as I’ve been listening to her debut album a lot lately - one of my faves. 1993. Great year. (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 19:11)

GTFO reviews keep coming (83,880) by Bobby A from United States GTFO has reached critical acclaim status. MC is getting rave reviews about the lyrics, her vocals, the production, vocal layering and the Porter Robinson sample. Kind of reminds me of the rave reviews she got for One and Only. MC15 is going to be her Thriller. (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 19:09)

Re: Mariah dining out (83,872) (83,879) by RibbonB from USA Hey Licia girl, that means shade to follow, I already stated that her tried and true is lying to her, but in the help's case it's "paid when due is only a yes man". (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 18:42)

Re: GTFO I effing love it and so does everybody its (83,877) (83,878) by Edward from USA You really fell for that? As soon as you read the nonsense "The video totally echoes the song. It's viby, the colors and contrast really echo the layers in her voice," you should've known better. If Mariah had a video in which she's sitting on a toilet, making faces and frowning, he would find a way to say how her frowning echoes the sentiment of whatever song she's trying to push out of her heart. Ce garçon est épique. (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 16:40)

Re: GTFO I effing love it and so does everybody its (83,875) (83,877) by Tijl from Belgium I tried to watch the video with the pink haired girl but honestly, I got nauseous and enervated. (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 15:30)

GTFO vocal production (83,876) by Edouard from France To me it's just as good as the best of Janet's and Brandy's songs. Mariah is genius. (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 15:24)

GTFO I effing love it and so does everybody its (83,875) by Edouard from France Hey guys. I've taken my time with GTFO, although I must say I loved it upon first listen. It's been interesting to read everybody's opinion here, on the net, on YouTube and all before deciding to share. I love how genius the lyrics are. Very poem-like to me. The vocal production is awesome. I believe it's the first time ever that Mariah chooses (in a released single) to impress without feeling the need to take us to the stratosphere, vocally speaking. This song is easy and yet not everybody can sing it. That's the magic of Mariah I believe. The video totally echoes the song. It's viby, the colors and contrast really echo the layers in her voice. Mariah doesn't need to do much and that a pretty powerfull statetment to make at this point in her life and carrer. I've checked pretty much everybody's reaction on YouTube and they are very positive. I was surprised to see how young the listeners are. Check out this girl. She's amazing and contrary to a lot of folks who really can't seem to organize their thoughts well enough to actually review a song, she says it all. And this girl, she's a musician, and her commentary is very valuable I believe. And Terna, I love your comment on GTFO, and I'm sending you an email soon. Was on vacation and on a little break, pretty much of everything. (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 15:19)

Re: Toni Braxton featured? (83,871) (83,874) by Licia from USA I also hope the Toni B feature is true. I've been wanting them to work together forever. I'm sure the younger fans would love a Beyonce duet, but I'm not sure how her and current on vouced Mariah would sound together. (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 15:00)

Re: Buzz? (83,868) (83,873) by B from USA A lot of hip hop artists release buzz songs. (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 14:22)

Re: Mariah dining out (83,858) (83,872) by Licia from USA I agree. She looked so nice and she was sexy without looking trashy. Her fake boyfriend should encourage her to wear outfits like this more often. If he finds it sexy she may finally start to realize she doesn't have to show it all for attention. (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 14:16)

Re: Toni Braxton featured? (83,870) (83,871) by John john from UK I hope this is true. I would take Toni over Beyonce any day. Toni Braxton is a true legend and I think they would sound amazing together. (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 13:12)

Toni Braxton featured? (83,870) by May from Denmark Has anyone seen the supposedly list of tracks for her new album? It has a couples of features and one of them is Toni Braxton. Is there any realiable source? I personally don't want her to sing with Toni, much rather have Beyonce. Just rumors? (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 12:44)

New release (83,869) by Billy from Greece I probably just found on Ebay the "new" release that someone found on Amazon a couple of weeks ago. It is as yet untitled yet on the cover (that has a very nice photo of Mariah) it writes "Japan Best". (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 08:34)

Re: Buzz? (83,859) (83,868) by Shezz from Pk I'm hoping the difference will be the promotion treatment it gets, which Epic's press release hinted at the day GTFO was released. Even though this had a better rollout than any of her other singles from MIAMTEC, I believe "With you" will have a more elaborate plan with both Mariah and the label pushing it out more and maybe announcing more details about the album with it like the title or the release date. I agree in the past her flopped singles were dubbed "buzz" like TAOLG but the Epic statement about it came practically at the same time GTFO was released. I read somewhere "With you" was written by Mariah about Tanaka. That'll make some eyes roll I'm sure. I'm all for it as she seems to be genuinely happy with him but it also said "inspired by the keys of WBT" which made my eyes roll. Fingers crossed. I don't follow other artists as closely but does anybody know other singles by others that were dubbed "buzz"? (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 05:08)

Re: While we wait (83,861) (83,867) by Bobby A from United States Great list and conversation starter. But I can't wait anymore. I am ready for the album now. However, one thing that I find interesting is how the weight loss has really helped MC's voice return at least to the Charmbraclet era vocals. We need to help MC have a With You number one debut on October 5. If it is a ballad with the big vocals that everybody has been wanting, then it shouldn't be that hard to push With You to number one on the Hot 100. We can do it.

Re: Mariah needs a real "video" A theme again (83,857) (83,866) by Atwood from NY Don’t forget who her idol is, Marilyn Monroe. (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 03:31)

Re: Buzz? (83,859) (83,865) by Matthew from USA In industry terms, a buzz single is a song that the label isn't required to promote. The song is released to the public without a push to radio, sometimes without a video or with just a lyric video or a video that cost very little to make. Record labels like buzz singles because if it doesn't get a good response they can use it as a reason to pull a bunch of shenanigans, from refusing to let an artist release an album to refusing to do a full promotional push. That's why some artists (Tinashe) end up with a bunch of supposed buzz singles with no follow through from the label. Very popular artists like Drake and Beyonce don't need buzz singles, because the label is very sure anything from those artists will sell. Despite her legendary status, the label apparently felt the need to release a buzz single so they can determine what kind of budget they want to allocate to actually pushing her album, or whether they will send her back to re-record and delay the album. And if the buzz single sells well, they get to collect without having to do much. They are obligated to push the real single to radio and create and fund other promotional opportunities, perhaps cutting a deal with radio for a certain amount of spins. So it's a money thing. It always is. (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 03:02)

Re: Buzz? (83,859) (83,864) by Atwood from NY It's a song realeased with a video to go viral. To get people excited for what is to come. Clearly, GTFO will not be played on radio. (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 02:29)

Re: Buzz? (83,859) (83,863) by lil star from untied states I would normally agree with you on the buzz single situation but this time I don't. But I don't fully disagree haha let me explain. In this one case I think GTFO was truly released as a buzz single but I think the reason they did so was to keep Mariah happy. GTFO is a song you know Mariah truly loves it has everything current Mimi likes. Slow jam r&b a few silly lyrics. So what do you do? You give your artist the buzz single. Shut her up and keep her happy and put out the label's pick as the "lead" single . It's kind of how Tommy would give Mariah the b-side (My All/ Breakdown ect). (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 01:49)

GTFO (83,862) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I agree with all of y'all that said that the video was the typical MC standard nowadays look at me the sex kitten or the vain diva. I just wanted something to relate to the song I still love the song now I am curious to hear With You. (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 01:39)

While we wait (83,861) by Haiji Toro from USA What one song from MC's catalogue would you consider to be underrated? Which song would you consider lyrically genius? Worst song ever? Lastly, if you could compile an album with only one non-single from each album, including one b-side, one bonus track, one unreleased remix and one Christmas song, what would that tracklist look like? Feel free to reply or ignore, it's all for fun. Here are my choices. Most underrated: Butterfly Lyrically genius: Outside Worst ever: Infinity Favorite compilation: Alone In Love And You Don't Remember Music Box Long Ago Babydoll After Tonight Want You Subtle Invitation Heartbreaker/If You Should Ever Be Lonely (Junior's Club Mix) Circles For The Record Ribbon Help Me Make It Through The Night Faded Slipping Away Everything Fades Away Hark. The Herald Angels Sing/Gloria (In Excelsis Deo) (Tuesday 18 September 2018; 23:13)

Mariah Carey dines with friends in West Hollywood (83,860) by TJ from Norway It is so nice to see to see her wear something normal (for once). One big applause for that outfit. (Tuesday 18 September 2018; 21:45)

Buzz? (83,859) by Andrew from UK Somebody explain the difference between buzz single and first single when both have videos, both are available for sale, both are from an upcoming album. This is just semantic nonsense to manipulate the public when things don't go so well. GTFO is the first single from the album. Someone prove me wrong and I will happily capitulate if it makes actual sense. (Tuesday 18 September 2018; 20:34)

Mariah dining out (83,858) by Bill from the UK Great to see Mariah in trousers for a change. I always loved that look, being tall she really pulls it off. Please hang up the leotards and lingerie and go with this sophisticated look instead. (Tuesday 18 September 2018; 20:06)
