With You (84,285) by B from USA Love it. (Thursday 4 October 2018; 06:32)

With You (84,284) by darrian liu from taiwan It started off completely gorgeous, with loads of textures, an understated beat, and her signature airy vocals. It does drag quite a bit in the middle though. However, towards the end, she unleashed her whistles and belts, which picks the song back up into a stunning finish. It's what I would call a classic Mariah song. For some reason, it reminds me a lot of her songs in MOAIA, combined with a little of DFAU. Overall, again, not her best, but nonetheless a respectable addition to her repertoire. I could already feel the song growing quickly on me even on my second listen. It's not necessarily something new or experimental from Mariah, but this time, her formula doesn't feel tired. (Thursday 4 October 2018; 06:26)

With you (84,283) by Myles from CT, USA Pretty song. Nice album cut. I do hope it does well for her sake. Missing the big ending chorus though. Is it just me? Maybe I'm a hater lol. Still love me some Mariah (Thursday 4 October 2018; 06:22)

With You review (84,282) by Shezz from Pk Hmmm, pretty but... hmm. (Thursday 4 October 2018; 06:10)

Re: Latest With You snippet (84,274) (84,281) by 90sMariah from SG Is that really her voice? It sounded like Christina's and that's not good. They must've auto-tuned it to death because I have never heard that kind of tone from Mariah - ever. If it really is her voice, why does she keep doing this to herself? We all know she won't be able to sing the climax live. Oh, Mariah. (Thursday 4 October 2018; 05:36)

With You (84,280) by B from USA 36 minutes until the premiere of With You. I can't contain my excitement. By the way, I saw on Instagram that Mariah is holding a listening party for her new album in West Hollywood. (Thursday 4 October 2018; 05:26)

Re: With You climax (84,261) (84,279) by John from USA Shezz: I almost believed it, but the "whistle" wasn't a real one and the melisma was not Mariah-esque. I was gonna say "oh, this is something different from Mariah, and interesting shift at the climax from the chord progression of the first part of the song" until someone commenting mentioned that it was actually the ending part of Christina's song "Unless It's With You". Lols. (Thursday 4 October 2018; 05:06)

Re: Latest With You snippet (84,274) (84,278) by B from USA I agree. She took our advice. We demanded she works with current producers while retaining her signature sound and on GTFO and With You she has done just that. In the third teaser is she singing Shots of Henny playing Confessions? Anyone been ablento decipher what she sings after that? (Thursday 4 October 2018; 03:48)

Re: Where's little Stacey Daydream? (84,268) (84,277) by Stacey 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." Where do I begin, lol. One, haven't been little in decades. I love Daydream, but I couldn't even tell you when it was released. Two, I celebrate my birthday not the day when Daydream was released. Three, my kids have never worn Mariah gear nor would I make them. I love MC's music, but shoot I would never wear a shirt. So, how can I make my kids, lol? Lastly, do they even make MC clothes for cats? I wouldn't know either way. I know this is all fun for some. It's not that deep for me either. I love Daydream. I ain't gonna lie. Sweet sweet fantasy baby. Peace. (Thursday 4 October 2018; 01:18)

Re: Where's little Stacey Daydream? (84,271) (84,276) by Licia from USA Lol I might need something bigger than an ocean liner. (Thursday 4 October 2018; 01:06)

It's hard, but... (84,275) by Edward from USA I know we all have this expectation that Mariah would pull a monster hit out of her weave just like that, but that's not the case without the fan-base she used to have to support her. It's not impossible, just very unlikely. We all know "Loverboy" was just a rushed mess that didn't deserve to even be played, yet it made it to #2, that was the power of the lambs buying multiple singles, calling to request, it was actually the most requested song that year. We're just three cats now, we alone don't have that power anymore. Unless she releases a song that the GP likes, we won't have a hit. But, do we so desperately want a hit or a great song? We used to have both, but I would be happy with the latter. That feeling of having Mariah hitting #1 left and right was a high we got so used to that we can't seem to let it go. It's time to just enjoy the music as-is, if you so like, or just stop listening. I don't care much about the charts anymore, I just hope Mariah doesn't recycle the same sound again. If the music is good, that's what matters at this point. "Almost Home" was a flop commercially, but it was a great song, it didn't sound rushed or half-cooked, that's what I'm expecting from her, quality more than anything. So far I like the snippet.

Latest With You snippet (84,274) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines The latest (and likely last) snippet is quite interesting. It features her lower register more, though sung a bit lazily. But the vibe reminds me of the singalong style of Don't Forget About Us chorus. With You is shaping up to be an understated blend of her 00's hits. (Thursday 4 October 2018; 00:21)

Re: Remy and Caymus (84,270) (84,273) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines She sure loves to name-drop. Although 2 alcohol endorsements in the 2 songs that we have heard off the new album so far has me a bit concerned. Haha. As if we needed any more confirmation that the woman loves her wine. Hopefully that's enough, though. We don't want the new album to play like a series of alcohol commercials. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 23:56)

Re: Where's little Stacey Daydream? (84,268) (84,271) by Bill from the UK Everyone can come as a song you don't like. Make sure you hire an ocean liner hehe. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 22:07)

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. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 18:48)

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.

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)
