Re: With you (84,258) (84,259) by Billy from Greece Great post, Yiorgo. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 09:50)

With you (84,258) by yiorgos from Germany , Berlin I agree with all the guys saying that if someone is so disappointed from what Mariah is delivering after so many years (at least she is still doing music and we got some great song in the last years regardless if they became hits) he should move on and don't waste energy. On the other hand also I think it's too early to judge from only the snippet, sure we get a video and a taste from it but I can't say for sure yet if I love it or hate it, sounds like Mariah and I like the simple production, but lets wait and see. Also has happened many times that I got to like a song after a few times listening to eat or even after the video came out. In general it seams like she is doing most of the things we where asking and hoping for, more promotion, better publicity, better styling (although could still improve) way better covers, the video of GTFO (was a beauty video) but still looked good and came on time and not a month after and was not even the official single, judging from GTFO and With You until now, she is making songs with producers she didn't work before with a current sound to please the mass but still Mariah style. So ok we can't only complain. Remember what we where having a year ago and at the end of the day she is not 20 any more if that's the best she can do or what's she feels like doing ok by me. If I like it great if I don't like it that much it's sad but still doesn't take away all the work she has given us in the past to make me upset with her. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 08:14)

Re: With You (84,242) (84,257) by Luke from United Kingdom Andrew, you're the lamb in the petting zoo that charges at everyone's ankles and sends little toddlers plummeting into alternate dimensions. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 07:56)

Re: With You (84,242) (84,256) by Shezz from Pk Agreed. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 03:50)

Re: With You (84,250) (84,255) by Shezz from Pk Haha you're believing too many things you're reading. Diane Warren, Drake, power ballad. Only thing that's true is that it's produced by DJ Mustard and that this is going to be Andrew's bop for life. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 03:49)

Re: "Fan" reactions (84,244) (84,254) by Mara from United States Ugh, Andrew - aren't you the least bit excited about the start of a new era or are you that soured about MC? What kind of kick start would it take for you to be supportive or have faith again? Serious question. Also, I cannot speak for everyone else here, but I feel it kind of is important with who MC writes her songs about, making it more personal and meaningful to her as in what is going on in her life right now. It's like a mini diary, and as a fan since debut Mariah, that used to be the only way we could get into her head or know what she was thinking as she used to be incredibly private. Minus the horrible nightmare years, Mariah never got too personal as you know. So it kind of always was an interest of mine to try and figure out if the song was autobiographical. Just my thing. Not yours? I totally respect that. But I'm just curious, honestly as to what she has to do to make you a happy fan/lamb right now. I am just happy to be getting a full album of new material from the woman who has had a song for every moment in my life. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 03:38)

"With You" impacting AC and Hot AC October 15th (84,253) by T from USA It's nice to know where they are planning on focusing this era so that way there is no misunderstandings. Mariah's last "top 40" Rhythmic album was Memoirs and that's how it should be. I wish they would've taken the AC route for The Elusive Chanteuse as it would've worked nicely with American Idol in marketing. It was a stretch to think Mariah could still be radio hit material at the age of 43 unfortunately. But I think they are going to write the wrongs from the last era. It seems it will play out more like Janet's Unbreakable (but with better promo). Think of all the over 37 year old girls that tried at Pop/Rhythmic this year and failed miserably. I wonder if Madonna has taken notice. PS. I guess iHeart was for nothing as she will still have a hard time at radio. (She's going to need a bigger than WBT song to make any sort of dent.)

With you (84,252) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) According to reports With You will impact A/C radio formats beginning on 10/15. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 02:26)

Re: With You (84,242) (84,251) by B from USA Since 20009/2010 lyrics have to be able to be dissected down to the last ad-lib to generate buzz. For a single to be successful the verses have to be personal and the chorus/hook has to be universal. From the snippets Mariah's new song follows suit. The verses will get Mariah mentioned in the blogs and tabloids and if the chorus/hook is strong she just might score a hit. From the teasers it looks like we're getting a video with an actual storyline. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 02:19)

Re: With You (84,248) (84,250) by RibbonB from USA The ballad co written with Diane Warren, although I am reading on Twitter now, that Diane says it's not her song. Time will tell how good the song is and what it's supposed to be about and even who wrote it. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 01:25)

Re: With You (84,242) (84,249) by Bobby A from United States Andrew, if MC collaborated with Billy Joel for a 12 track piano ballad album that sounded like Joeliarah and the songs could be universally about anybody, you still would have problem with our Mimi. So tell me when did you start to dislike Mimi so much. After Glitter or MOIA? Disconnect your internet and turn off BBC radio on October 4th. Because we are going to celebrate Thursday without you, dude. (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 01:18)

Re: With You (84,234) (84,248) by Shezz from Pk What was written in 2015? (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 01:04)

Re: With You (84,237) (84,247) by Shezz from Pk What'll it take to get you to come back here regularly? (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 01:03)

Re: With You (84,242) (84,246) by Atwood from NY What is she coming back from? (Wednesday 3 October 2018; 00:56)

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. (Tuesday 2 October 2018; 23:00)

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)
