Re: Give it a rest (84,425) (84,435) by Lexingz from Estonia I think her first alcohol reference was in The Roof (Moet) which is one of her most praised songs. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 13:14)

Rumor (84,434) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines By the way, have you heard anything about a Dev Hynes (Blood Orange) collaboration rumored to be on the album? He's the talented guy behind Carly Rae Jepsen's All That and Solange's True EP, among other things. Here's hoping they made a hot track or two. Or more. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 12:35)

Are we doing our part? (84,433) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Since the release of With You, I have posted a screen-recorded clip of the song playing loudly on my phone and posted it as stories on my Facebook and Instagram accounts daily. I have emailed and messaged friends informing them that Mariah has a new song out and encouraged them to listen to it on Spotify. That's of course aside from buying and streaming the song myself. Yes, I have a life and a regular job as well, in public service. It doesn't take that much time or effort, really. And I know it's not much, but it sure beats coming on here to whine on a song you don't like. No one's forcing us to support a lukewarm single. But I just choose to support Mariah the person, because despite every criticism that I have said or posted and will continue to say or post about her in the future, I'll always be that moon-eyed kid in the candy store when it comes to any new release from her. It may disappoint me, but part of me will always be thankful that she still wants to put out new music, no matter how awesome or terrible it sounds. It's her bad lipping and half-assed performances are really what's ruining her legacy more than bad music. Mariah does not have a bad album - just underrated or uneven ones. So come her AMAs performance next week, I'll be waiting for the first videos of her performance on YouTube as I won't be able to watch it on TV like Americans do. I'll be keeping an eagle eye on any news regarding upcoming the album. So to those who feel me, let's do this. I really hope I am doing my part as much as I hope y'all are, too. Peace.

Boring (84,432) by Edouard from France Some people here are just so boring. get a life really. The song is great. If you don't like it. G.T.F.O. you'll be a lot happier. So will Mariah and her Lambs. Peace. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 11:50)

Re: JLo at AMAs 84,423) (84,431) by Licia from USA Bry-cane ? That's awesome. May won the internet for today. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 11:30)

Re: AMA performance of With You (84,410) (84,430) by Licia from USA I hope some vocals get mixed in there somewhere. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 11:26)

Re: Snooze fest (84,426) (84,429) by 90sMariah from SG I saw one reaction video commenting that the house they used for the GTFO video looks like someone's Grandmother's house - the decor, the furnitures, the sheets, curtains all scream Granny's house. Lol. I like the song, but I agree with their sentiments re the video. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 11:25)

Re: With You (84,414) (84,428) by Shezz from Pk In all honesty, it would take all 30 of us posting here, an army of 10,000 minions (each) streaming and watching With You on repeat 24/7 for it to even chart. So lets keep things real here please and not obsess over a 19th number one.. Enjoy her music and if it speaks to your soul so much why does it even matter if others validate your preference with their approval? Mimi isn't about the masses anymore and the masses surely aren't about Mimi. Enjoy her music and celebrate her era like the legend that she is but don't hope for chart success because that can't happen for her in this day and age. If she really is hiding a Drake collaboration for whatever ridiculous reason for a later date after the album drops and nobody cares about it anymore then that's stupidity on ice. She makes questionable choices but she ain't that crazy. I have grown to love With You. Do I still think it should not have been a lead single? Hell yes. Time will show us the other Migrate's and YDKWTDs that she shoulda woulda coulda on this album as well. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 11:22)

Re: Oh for fx sakes (84,411) (84,427) by 90sMariah from SG She uses profanities as a crutch, because she thinks they will make her songs interesting or give them the edge which they do not. Releasing two songs in a row with F bombs won't do her any favour because they will not be played on the radio. And it's not like she's still selling records by the hundreds of thousands like before. I'm really rooting for her, that's why you care this much, but I hope she and her sycophant fans that she employs will realize that memes' life cycle is a week, tops.

Snooze fest (84,426) by george golden from uk What a let down. What is wrong with her? If she is tired she should just call it a day. GTFO is so much better than this snoozefest. How about just dropping the album instead of releasing terrible singles. Who is telling her that this a great single and where is the video? Total mess. Now all her songs mention alcohol and the f word plus the prostitute type videos. This woman is becoming trashy and class less. Sorry guys I am really pissed. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 11:00)

Give it a rest (84,425) by Luke from United Kingdom The level some people hold Mariah at is depressing. Give the woman a break, imagine having thousands of people talk about you the way some of you talk about her. You complain when she doesn't release music and then complain when she does. Go listen to someone else then. I actually think With you is one of her best songs she's released in ages since MIAM. I can't stop listening to it. Let's also not act like she's just started talking about alcohol in her music, she mentioned Bacardi and getting high on weed in It's Like That. I really hope she doesn't read these message boards and if she does she's a more resilient person than I would be in her position. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 10:44)

Re: AMA performance of With You (84,410) (84,424) by Lexingz from Estonia Oh you. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 10:39)

Re: JLo at AMAs (84,405) (84,423) by May from Denmark How sad that we have to talk about convincing lippy and pre records on what should be a live performance. How much our expectations have lowered. Mariah needs to ditch the prostitute shoes because she obviously can't use them like a professional one and just wear something comfortable for once, she is always in the middle of the performance complaining about her shoes but never leaving them aside. I'm not asking her to dance but a least walk. That's my expectation for the next show. To see Mariah walk without using her personal Bry-cane. Just like she did in iHeart. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 10:30)

The incarceration of Mimi (84,422) by TheOne from UK Where is the voice? Where is the big lead single? Where has Mariah's mojo gone? We know Mariah is here, but is she actually present? I like GTFO, but I think With You is boring, and filler material. How has mustard charged for producing that? Where's the so called "hot" production? I'm confused. A high school student could produce that on a Casio keyboard. It seems that for the past 8 to 10, with each album, we've been told Mariah is not chasing trends. She's been writing non stop. She's producing music that will blow fans minds. She will surprise fans and the public. She's producing old school rnb tunes. In reality, we've received big standard, uninspired music, with lyrics that are trying so hard to be edgy and down, but instead make her look tired and desperate. I cringe when I hear some of the lyrics. I'm not even asking for 90s Mariah, where is TEOM Mariah? Where is Mimi? Can someone set her free please? (Saturday 6 October 2018; 10:28)

Re: The Guardian article (84,420) (84,421) by Lexingz from Estonia Good one Joachim. I find the whole stanning and mocking thing goes for female artists in general though. If you are a female doing anything, you are praised as long as you meet the standards. Stop doing that and you will be basically annihilated. This is what society in general is like to female leaders in any walk of life, it would be a bit unfair to put it all on the gay fans. The article was a very enjoyable read, thank you. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 10:23)

The Guardian article (84,420) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I think many on this message board should read this article from The Guardian from earlier this year. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 09:39)

Re: Don't compare (84,408) (84,419) by Andrew from UK Your peak was surely The Friday Night Project. I still watch it for "Oh [censored] off, Jamie." It's brilliantly funny. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 09:21)

Mariah and J.Lo (84,418) by Hector from Mexico I never thought the day would come that Mariah and J.Lo were at the same artistic level: they both lip sync their songs because neither of them can replicate the sound of their albums. At least J.Lo can dance. Mariah needs help to walk a few steps. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 07:42)

A lyric video? (84,417) by Lara from Middle East Wouldn't be that a good step before the AMAs so people could know the lyrics to her performance? (Saturday 6 October 2018; 07:20)

Re: With You (84,382) (84,416) by Hector from Mexico Mariah is not holding her voice. Mariah can't sing anymore. Sad but true. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 07:17)

With You (84,415) by Bobby A from United States With You is stuck in my head constantly. The vocals and melody is what I like the most. With You truly shows that Mariah is a natural alto. Notice how she is singing the song in her head voice and not in her upper register. She better have something special planned for her perfomance on the AMAs to boost sales and airplay. Only time will tell if radio starts playing it. I suspect we will not receive an album title and tracklisting until With You is top 20 on the Hot 100. Does anybody remember what magazine or interview in 1990s Gladys Knight said Mariah sings out of her range? I know I heard that in 1990s but can't find the source. I think it was during the time Emotions came out. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 03:59)

With You (84,414) by B from USA If we spent half as much time watching and streaming Mariah's music as we so do complaining about everything about her With You would be her 19th #1. GTFO and With You are definitely a step in the right direction and are perfect songs to reintroduce Mariah to the masses. Both songs are current and have catchy hooks. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 01:11)

Re: Oh for fx sakes (84,394) (84,412) by B from USA Rumor has it it's a Drake collaboration. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 01:04)

Re: Oh for fx sakes (84,409) (84,411) by B from USA She's only used profanity in three songs #Beautiful, GTFO, and With You. It's not that deep. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 01:03)

Re: AMA performance of With You (84,402) (84,410) by RibbonB from USA You didn't hear? Spoiler alert then. Half the boys are going to be dressed as Caymus bottles, the other half as Remy bottles. They're going to be doing an avant garde, slow vogue to the "Mustardian" beat. Mariah is going to surprise us all and spin, twirl and drop at the epic climax, then loads of black and white confetti will spontaneously drop from the ceiling. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 00:43)
