Full song first impression (72,029) by Marissa from USA I like the beat and Mariah's parts but, contrary to what I initially thought, YG ruined this track for me. Same way I felt about JD in Get Your Number. It really makes me question how much respect YG has for Mariah if he put that weak of a rap on her track. I could have rapped something better than that and I'm just an everyday professional. I doubt that he would have done the same half-assed rap for Beyonce, but then again I have to question what the deal is with Mariah for her to think that actually sounded hot and even be willing to release a song with him in it if he's only willing to bring his "F game" for his rap. If there's a rap-free version released then I stand by my thoughts of liking this song. Is it a masterpiece? No, but it's a start. (Friday 3 February 2017; 6:50)

MC Facebook Live (72,028) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter First of all she was in a body suit and fishnets on a hotel bed lol. (1) She said she'll do more singles, but not an album. (2) She's apparently doing a secret project with a friend of hers which will be released soon. (3) The sample was JD's idea. (4) She recorded something recently with Roc and Roe in the studio. She didn't mention if it's a song or not. (5) Her favorite lyric from "I Don't" is "pity party of the year". (6) She wrote the song a month ago. (7) There was a little Brett shade. She didn't mention any names but she said she has the video ready to be released on the same day as the song and she said she usually tries to get the video out as soon as she can but if there's a delay it's not usually her fault. She explains that sometimes her friends direct some of her videos and sometimes they are behind schedule "like 2 weeks" and by that time it's too late. So I'm guessing this is about Brett being late to shoot the "Infinity" video. (8) She said about MW season 2 "you'll have to wait and see". (9) Favorite songs - "Petals", "Outside", "Looking In", "Close My Eyes", "I Don't", "Fantasy", "Heartbreaker" and TMB. (10) Favorite Valentine's Day song - "My All". (11) She confirmed she'll be in the Batman Lego movie, playing the part of the Mayor. She'll attend the premiere this Saturday. (Friday 3 February 2017; 6:41)

Re: I Don't (72,013) (72,027) by Matty from Vancouver Canada 100% agree. You Don't Know What To Do absolutely could have been a lead single and even had a chance at reaching #1, especially considered it was released around the Uptown Funk era. It would have been the best second single choice from MIAM and could have reshaped that album's success. This is the sounds and direction JD needs to go in as a producer, it was a great new direction for his sound. (Friday 3 February 2017; 6:07)

Re: I actually like it (72,019) (72,026) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I agree with Mike. Andrew, you don't speak for anyone but yourself dude. Not here for your generalized delusion that you speak for all. I'm not even commenting on the song, I'm saying you don't speak for everyone. Obviously some people are vibe with the song because her label pushed it forward. Let people have their joy if they like the song. (Friday 3 February 2017; 6:01)

"I Don't" my opinion (72,024) by Ardis Logic from Earth It's alright. It sounds like one of those songs on the album that's added for filler. I don't really listen to today's music, so I can't really give compare it to what's out there. As someone who has listened to every single Mariah song that I could possibly get my hands on, this one goes on the very small list of songs that I will always "skip" over. I have no desire to hear it again. (Friday 3 February 2017; 5:50)

Mariah did a live interview on Facebook (72,023) by Nikki from usa It went viral within 1 hour. I had no idea there was a Lego Batman movie coming out, that MC is attending the premiere this weekend, or that she's playing the Mayor in it. Some good info in this interview. She prefers Slipping Away to Do You Think Of Me? Mariah wrote Alone in Love when she was 15. She's not making an album now. She's focusing on releasing singles and once there's enough singles she'll release an album. I guess that's one way to ensure a hit LP. Release a bunch of different songs until you find a sound the public meshes with and once you have enough, flesh out an album in that vain. MC said she's already working with a talented artist for a new song and all we know is this artist is a "him". She's cut another track with Roc n' Roe in it. "I Don't" is already in the top 5 in Asia. Although, I don't know what that means. (Friday 3 February 2017; 5:31)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey previews video for new single I Don't (72,018) (72,022) by Edward from USA Remember that, according to Stella and obviously endorsed by Mariah, they're catering to 12-year old girls. So the poses, and the clothes she's wearing are appropriate for the video. (Friday 3 February 2017; 2:55)

Re: Empowered (72,015) (72,021) by Licia from USA Yes Stella thinks empowerment is putting up the middle finger and showing your VaChina (I know how I spelled it grammar Nazis lol) every chance you get. If Banaka Tanaka show up in this video I'm just going to turn it off. His presence annoys me. (Friday 3 February 2017; 2:12)

Re: I actually like it (72,014) (72,019) by Mike from FL, USA Sorry Andrew, you can't speak for me. I do "actually like it" and I'm certainly not one of the delusional stans that worships everything MC does. Just letting you know your generalization is wrong. But I do see the irony in how bad it has become when the expectation is that any new music will be garbage or more of the same ol stuff of late. But what can I say, I really do actually like it, lol. (Friday 3 February 2017; 1:26)

Article: Mariah Carey previews video for new single I Don't (72,018) by Robin Elkins from United States I do like Mariah's song, I just wish she would put on something different than striper cloths. She is a mom and little kids are looking. She says she doesn't even get naked in bath tube with her kids. Mariah has a great body but she could tone down a bit. (Friday 3 February 2017; 1:09)

I Don't (72,017) by Special K from USA Hmm, I can't hate on it. I'm actually feeling the song. Got a nice vibe to it. YG stankin ass does absolutely nothing for the song. Ugh. It may play well on Adult Contemporary R&B stations out here in the US. So not looking forward to the video though. (Friday 3 February 2017; 0:51)

Re: Full song listen (71,986) (72,016) by Licia from USA I like to be fair when it comes to music. I initially didn't like the subject matter of the song and I thought I was being too harsh. After number 5 and hearing the song live I realized I judged the song correctly. Lol I don't hate I Don't. Those verses just throw me off. She doesn't sound good with those verses, but when goes into the chorus it's better. YG is just blah and doesn't fit. (Friday 3 February 2017; 0:27)

Empowered (72,015) by RibbonB from USA Stella's definition of a women's empowerment song is vastly different from my own. Unless giving the finger and posing provocatively is empowering I don't see it. The Donnell Jones portion of the song is the only thing that makes sense. Mariah does sound good in parts of the song though, but her lyrics have no depth. Donnell's song was at least an honest story about breaking up vs. cheating. Well here is hoping the video is not too bad, but somehow I think the hired hand may make an appearance, thereby making it even more corny and inappropriate. That's the way it seems to be going. If it does go that way then I hope she puts a ball gag in his mouth at least and a lap dog collar. Just go all in with the "empowerment" theme if she must. (Friday 3 February 2017; 0:17)

Re: I actually like it (72,000) (72,014) by Andrew from UK Anyone who says they "actually" like it is, probably, ironically, stating how shit it is. Mariah should embarrassed and ashamed. It seems that the non-delusional fans are. But then I think it's safe to say that Mariah doesn't feel shame and embarrassment or she'd have given up long ago. She has, undoubtedly, become a hot mess and pretty much ruined a once proud career. If I was Nick I'd go after full custody. She's clearly got mental health problems she does nothing to address. (Friday 3 February 2017; 0:09)

I Don't (72,013) by Jono from USA It has potential to be an urban hit, but it certainly won't hit mainstream success. To me this is more of an album filler, not single material. At this point I'm going to sound like a broken record, but they really dropped the ball with "You Don't Know What To Do". To this day, I know non fans who absolutely love that song anytime I play it. That could have been a bonafide smash. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 23:59)

Re: Full song listen (71,988) (72,012) by Lila from United States "But it sounds more like a song on a remix cd." I can see that connection. Better that than released as a single. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 23:57)

Re: Full song listen (71,987) (72,011) by Lila from United States He sounds a mess. His "rap" adds nothing to the song and is just terrible. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 23:53)

I Don't (72,010) by Butterfly from She looks and acts like a porn star. I'm grossed out and sad. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 23:30)

I Don't (my first impression) (72,009) by Terna from Nigeria The beat is hard, a plus for me already, somewhere in the song I get Rihanna's "Needed me" verses flow, but then it gravitates towards the chorus which in my opinion is the strongest part of the song. I love the I don't scream at the end though. All in all, it's a well put together slow jam and will be an urban radio hit. 19th number 1? Far fetched. YJ needs to hush though he ruins it with that "I know you love me" noise. I still like the song though but come harder Mimi. I'm rooting for you. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 23:24)

Re: Not getting my $$ (72,004) (72,008) by MusicfanJ from Germany What Mariah released in 97 was just wonderful music. She sounded fantastic and I love the lyrics so much from that time. That was Mariah Carey, with a new fresh sound but still Mariah Carey. I miss the time, where I was "addicted" to every new song. What I can't understand is that "I don't" get released as a single and "Meteorite" wasn't. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 23:04)

Re: MusicfanJ Full song listen (71,988) (72,007) by Susana from USA Yes, I agree the male background vocals are the only redeeming part of this song. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 22:59)

Re: I actually like it (72,000) (72,006) by May from Denmark Yes, I thought the same, the chorus is very catchy. For some reason, you know when you hear something that later plays on your head a thousand times and you just want to die because it ain't going nowhere, well guess YG drilled that "you know you love me, you just don't trust me, you don't understand me" part haha, why that part only, why? I think the song might have a chance of doing good in the charts. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 22:57)

I Don't (72,005) by Malcolm from Asia "I don't" hate it but "I don't" love it either. Time to hire some new and fresh collaborators Mariah, this will not work out for you, go innovate your sound. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 22:38)

Not getting my $$ (72,004) by G.G. from USA Yet another Mariah music project I won't be buying. If someone would have told me back in 1997 that Mariah would put out music that I wouldn't buy, I would have laughed in their face. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 22:05)
