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)

Re: With You snippet (84,207) (84,209) (84,220) by Licia from USA I will wait for the full song before automatically hating it because it sounds similar to quite a few songs. I too was hoping for an uptemtpo song, but if the song is good in its entirety then it won't matter to me. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 14:18)

Re: Calling on the lambs (84,195) (84,219) by Carlos from Brazil Wish I could help you but I guess a North-American would do it better than me. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 14:12)

Re: With You snippet (84,215) (84,218) by Bill from the UK I was being facetious. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 14:09)

Re: Worst Mariah song (84,210) (84,217) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I have always defended Boy (I Need You) on this board, which would not be hated as much if it was not released as a single over The One. A good amount of songs in Charmbracelet, while very un-radio-friendly, unmistakably stand out from her entire discography, including Subtle Invitation, There Goes My Heart, Bringin' On The Heartbreak, Clown and of course, Boy (I Need You). The funny thing about that song is that if had a different, stronger chorus that relied less on the repeated chipmunk "boy" clip, it would be significantly stronger. The chorus really is its weakest part. I wouldn't complain about the whispery vocals because that's what's normal for her single releases these days. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 14:07)

Re: With You snippet (84,205) (84,216) by MusicfanJ from Germany I already love the snippet. No childish lyrics and I enjoy the "daydreaming" vibe. I still don't like "GTFO" (sorry) but the few seconds of "With you" makes me smile. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 13:14)

Re: With You snippet (84,207) (84,215) by virgo.miss from australia There is little to no hope of an artist of her age storming the charts. I'm happy with something I want to listen to, although I realise without sales there will be nothing coming in the future. But I actually liked the snippet. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 13:00)

Re: With You (84,203) (84,214) by virgo.miss from australia Really? I liked it, but it needs to move into something banging to be any hope of selling. But I like her tone and voice and mood. So I'm hopeful. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 12:56)

Re: With You clip (84,206) (84,213) by Shezz from Pk Haha yes. Always love your posts. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 12:53)

Re: With You snippet (84,205) (84,212) by Billy from England, UK I feel like I've heard this before. Was expecting something different. Will wait and see how the full song sounds. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 11:46)

"Fan" reactions (84,211) by Tijl from Belgium Honestly, is it really necessary to debunk and critize a snippet from a song that yet has to be released officially? Some people on this board should take a good look at their lives and drop the obsessive negativity. If you aren't any longer feeling Mariah than you should find another way to fight boredom. Continuously expressing ones frustrations about how Mariah is letting you down doesn't make you an authentic yet disappointed fan but rather defines you as a sour pickle. GTFO. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 11:17)

Re: Worst Mariah song (84,210) by Billy from Greece I had totally forgotten about "Little Snowman". That is a weird song right there. I think I have listened to it one time, if not less. Other than that, I don't get all the hate when it comes to "Infinity". It's ok to me, though I don't listen to it that regularly. The similarly much hated "Boy" is also ok as far as I'm concerned, though the chipmunk vocal annoys me, but I also find interesting how she structured her vocals in the verses. There's a subtlety in the groove and I consider it more of a ''transitional" mood piece in CB. But, yes, choosing it as a single instead of "The One" was totally stupid on behalf of Def Jam. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 11:12)

With You snippet (84,207) (84,209) by Lara from Middle East I like it. Seems more live material then GTFO. But I doubt it's gonna have a mass appeal. I expected something more uptempo like YDKWTD. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 11:07)

Mariah / Barbra (84,208) by Billy from Greece If Mariah's album is coming in November as it is rumored, then it will be 2009 all over, since Barbra's new (pop) album is also coming mid-November. Even after more than fifty (!) years in the business, Barbra's team is kicking a*s. I totally love Barbra, but I hope MC gets the bigger debut this time around. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 11:00)

Re: With You snippet (84,205) (84,207) by Bill from the UK Ehhhh. If that is truly the song then I agree, not holding out much hope for it storming the global charts like Thriller did back in the 80s. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 10:16)

Re: With You clip (84,202) (84,206) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Just realized we share the same sentiments in our comments, haha. Lambs think alike. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 10:02)

With You snippet (84,205) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Have you listened to the supposed snippet of With You? I'm torn. This seems like the return of Vocabulariah. I enjoy that Mariah, but we all know what verbosity did to TAOLG. Story wise, it seems to be a sequel to Love Story. This better have a good chorus or else we're pretty much doomed. This so far lyrically sounds superior to GTFO but less interesting musically. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 09:31)

Re: Mariah the "actor" and "artist in the MTV era" (84,194) (84,204) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines That's because Mariah just wants to act but is not an actor at heart. She started as a singer who didn't really see acting as a goal until she made it big and realized the opportunities that were now available to her thanks to fame. To an actor at heart, there would be a much longer list of things that they are willing to do to further their acting career than the list that they would consider deal-breakers. Getting Mariah out of her comfort zone highly depends on how comfortable she is with the people she works with. She only agreed to de-glamorize herself for Lee Daniels. She would much rather work with the usual producers. She would rather look all made-up than just casual. She is a creature of habit who will clearly choose familiarity over new experiences any day. This works for her to some extent, but has also increasingly held her back in everything she does, especially acting. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 09:02)

With You (84,203) by Andrew from UK I could do a full review, but it may serve brevity to say that this is a huge disappointment. Actually, for brevity's sake: it's shit. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 08:03)

With You clip (84,202) by Shezz from Pk There's a low quality 20 sec clip of WY floating around. It's got those pretty but whispery vocals again. Sounds like Love Story part 2 (lyrically and musically) - not a banger for sure. Too short to judge but you kind of can see where it's going. Here's hoping for a big catchy chorus to save it. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 04:40)

With You, my birthday (84,201) by Stacey from USA The song just so happens to be released on my birthday. What a great present. So it just has to be good because that's the day I was born. Already a winner or so I can dream, right? 41 and fabulous. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 04:38)

With You cover art (84,200) by Stacey from USA I like it. It isn't the usual "hey, I'm in a bathing suit, look at me" so unnecessary sexy pose type cover. Reminds me of the great cover art from her days at Sony. Yes, did I just say Sony? She's 2/2 when it comes to cover art. Here's hoping for a good performance on the AMAs. At least promotion for this latest effort seems on point and organized. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 04:34)

John Legend Christmas (84,199) by RibbonB from USA Well look who just announced a new Christmas CD and tour. Which reminds me of When Christmas Comes, which IMO is one of Mariah's last best composed songs and videos. Warm, sweet and fun. The old days. But really she sounds so good in that one. I can't believe that John is an EGOT already, right? (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 03:35)
