The Grove, memoirs? (83,838) by RibbonB from USA Mimi tweeted about some surprise today at the Hollywood Grove Barnes and Noble. Some think she's announcing her memoirs. She included the #GTFO hashtag though. There is also video of her, seen shooting something on the streets of LA yesterday. Perhaps she's doing an elaborate video shoot and she wants a crowd of fans to show up. No time was posted though. (Monday 17 September 2018; 17:45)

Re: Just a quick update on GTFO (83,834) (83,837) by Atwood from NY I'm obsessed. I would love to see some GTFO merch. (Monday 17 September 2018; 15:58)

Re: Just a quick update on GTFO (83,834) (83,836) by Chicago Lamb from USA I agree, the song is a sonic delight. (Monday 17 September 2018; 14:33)

Article: Mariah Carey celebrates her "fave album" as it turns 21 (83,835) by Betty from Canada A lot of the media coverage seems to forget she has released songs since MIAMTEC. (Monday 17 September 2018; 13:44)

Just a quick update on GTFO (83,834) by Randy from USA I can't stop playing it. It's infectious. (Monday 17 September 2018; 06:14)

Re: GTFO rollout (83,824) (83,833) by B from USA Like It's Like That, GTFO has piqued the publics interest in Mariah and her music. GTFO is the perfect reintroduction to Mariah and her music for the general public. After repeated listens GTFO goes from catchy to infectious. I can easily see GTFO following a trajectory similar to Pink's Who Knew. Who Knew was only a moderate success when first released but after the success of a follow-up single the song was later successfully re-released. (Sunday 16 September 2018; 23:16)

Re: GTFO rollout (83,824) (83,832) by May from Denmark It's Like That was a powerful party song to be honest, which GTFO is not. Also the season of release is different and the format of the video as well, remember ILT had a "to be continued" which made it all interesting and one could guess more was coming. With the GTFO we don't have a storyline or anything, the song doesn't even have an actual ending but a fading one and the video was a beauty video. Even "I don't" had more storytelling than this new video. It's what always plays against Mariah when it comes to YT views for example. Her ample cleavage is distracting and that might have worked in the end of the 90s and early 00s when having big tatas was all the rage (even Paris got hers) but not anymore, no one cares. I was never much of a fan of Touch My Body but the video was so much fun I watched it many times. She needs better videos. (Sunday 16 September 2018; 18:41)

Re: GTFO rollout (83,829) (83,831) by Bill from the UK It actually did okay in the UK, reaching number 4, which I don't think anyone saw coming. For comparison Fantasy, My All, When You Believe and Open Arms all reached that chart position here. (Sunday 16 September 2018; 12:15)

GTFO (83,830) by Billy from England, UK Loving this. It's so fresh and new. Something she hasn't done before. She can't keep doing the same thing over and over. She's expanding trying out new sounds exploring her voice gaining new fans. If she wanted to whistle or belt it out she could but she doesn't need to. She's done all that so many times. Just enjoy something new from Mariah Carey. I don't like it listen to something else. [Webmaster: Next time, use dots to end a sentence.] (Sunday 16 September 2018; 11:32)

Re: GTFO rollout (83,829) by Nikki from usa Just adding on. Yes, ILT was a real single and it was a top 20 hit on Billboard's Hot 100. Mariah promoted it and sang it live several times. WBT was actually a shock for most people because it was a slow burner and they never thought that would be a hit. Apparently, it didn't do that well outside the US. (Sunday 16 September 2018; 04:43)

Re: Billboard? (83,823) (83,828) by Atwood from NY GTFO is still the #1 video on US iTunes since it was released, and already passed 1 million views on YouTube. (Sunday 16 September 2018; 00:46)

Re: GTFO genious promo (83,814) (83,827) by B from USA I get what you're saying about the bridge people. I've read several comments that basically say I didn't know I missed her until now. These people haven't heard a Mariah Carey song since Obsessed. (Sunday 16 September 2018; 00:42)

Re: GTFO rollout (83,824) (83,826) by Bill from the UK ILT was a real single. (Saturday 15 September 2018; 23:36)

Re: Video misses the mark (slightly) (83,819) (83,825) by Lee from USA Hello, have you seen YouTube lately? The sexy videos are the ones that people are watching. Celine and Adele aren't trending, gracing magazine covers, or getting endorsement deals. Hell, I am not sure that they are even relevant. It's kind of hypocritical for Mimi to cover up when other female stars are doing the opposite and getting worshiped. (Saturday 15 September 2018; 23:22)

GTFO rollout (83,824) by Bobby A from United States I am really impressed with the rollout of GTFO and it leading up to the official first single With You. Didn't TEOM get the same rollout with It's Like That being a buzz single and We Belong Together as the "first real single?" October 5 is going to be another big day for the album reveal details. Kudos to her team. (Saturday 15 September 2018; 21:18)

Re: Billboard? (83,811) (83,823) by Andrew from UK On its first day GTFO was only the 284th top streamed video on YouTube. Having an average video severely hurts your prospects these days. Mariah's issue here is her vanity. She will only film videos where she looks perfect and the environment is controlled from every angle. Whilst is may make her look pretty it makes for one boring ass video that nobody wants to watch in a time when views count towards charting positions. (Saturday 15 September 2018; 19:49)

Re: YouTube - GTFO (acoustic) (83,810) (83,822) by Bill from the UK Thanks for posting. That adds a whole new layer to the song by making it a piano ballad. Rather than being some sassy kiss off it is now actually quite introspective and heartbreaking. Thanks again. (Saturday 15 September 2018; 19:48)

Re: Song's good, dat vid tho... (83,803) (83,821) by B from USA I'm not mad at her for living out her dream of being a lingerie model in her music videos, lol. (Saturday 15 September 2018; 19:24)

GTFO is falling (83,820) by Myles from CT, USA That 48 hours of excitement was nice. Now it is falling out of the top 10. Still love it but dang I just wish it would have lasted at least a week. (Saturday 15 September 2018; 18:57)

Video misses the mark (slightly) (83,819) by T from USA Just thinking what a statement of her return it would've been if she was in a power suit (think Madonna in Express Yourself or Beyonce). Something really strikingly different than what we are used to with Mariah. It would also symbolize that she is the boss in this situation and it would be a return to form of the 90s when she was more covered up. That slight difference would've been all she needed to get people talking. If only she could've swallowed her pride for one video and just done things that would benefit the project as a whole. Other than that, she looked amazing the mood and atmosphere were on point. Song is great. She needs to be less Barbie and more bitch. (Saturday 15 September 2018; 18:54)

Re: She didn't, but now she does (83,812) (83,818) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada The production quality of the video. Is better than it has been. Her hair and makeup look lovely now if she would just grasp she does not need to try so hard to be sexy. (Saturday 15 September 2018; 18:25)

GTFO memes (83,817) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines One of the upsides of releasing a song with an explicit title and lyrical content is that it instantly becomes meme-worthy. Once GTFO came out, you just knew that a clip of her mouthing the words to the chorus would be snipped and edited into countless memes. Try searching #GTFO on social media. You'll see quite a lot of Mariah-related ones, especially depending on your search history as detected by algorithms. The memes range from really good to amusing to meh to even pathetic, but it's nice to know people care about the song and video enough to wanna perpetuate it even with something as ephemeral as memes. (Saturday 15 September 2018; 15:32)

GTFO (83,816) by Ben from Sweden Wow definitely a nice vibing song. I think the video fits. (Saturday 15 September 2018; 14:09)

Lambily covers "Mine Again" (83,815) by Fresh from USA You guys. Go show some love to this lamb. She did amazing. (Saturday 15 September 2018; 13:15)
