Revolt (43,660) by PJW from The U.K. Okay, am I hearing this video incorrectly? Revolt writes that Mariah said "Thirsty" was her favourite track on the album and then talks about the vocal performance. They then have a video where, as far as I can see, she's actually talking about "You're mine (eternal)". Further, she says it's the first single from the album. Cough, cough, J.D. I get and appreciate they're promoting "Thirsty" as much as possible but really, that was silly. (Friday 16 May 2014; 0:55)

G.G. / views (43,659) by Edward from USA Anything streamed from YouTube (videos, lyric videos, unofficial videos, fan made videos), Vevo, MTV and Yahoo Music and Aol Music counts. Among the on-demand streaming services anything streamed from MOG, Muve Music, Rdio, Rhapsody, Slacker, Spotify, Xbox Music and others also counts. For instance, thanks to the almost 40 million views generated by a viral explosion of a new parody video of the song, Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" returned to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. As many of other streaming sources become more popular they are slowly incorporated into the formula. So, even if a song is not officially released as a single, if generates enough views, it could potentially chart on the Hot 100. (Friday 16 May 2014; 0:54)

Purple Crush (43,658) by Paul from USA If anything, it sounds like PC lifted Madonna's "Vogue", than Mariah does their "song". "Stop using the Mariah train for your gain." Haters come in all shapes and forms but Mariah always slays. (Friday 16 May 2014; 0:53)

Purple Crush and MC (43,657) by Gilles from Malta Hello everybody. So regarding this I would say it is only the title that is similar lol. Love you all. (Friday 16 May 2014; 0:37)

No similarities to Purple Crush (43,656) by Christy from USA This suggestion of a similarity between the Purple Crush version of Thirsty and Mariah's is absurd. In fact, it sounds as if the Purple Crush version was copied after Madonna's Vogue. Also, in the PC version, the singer says, "I'm thirsty" where as Mariah says, "You thirsty". Sounds as if PC is trying for cheap publicity. (Friday 16 May 2014; 0:26)

Two covers / Damizza (43,655) by PJW from The U.K. So I heard (via Liron, formerly of Mariah Daily who's heard the album) that there are two covers on Me. I Am Mariah. Obviously "One more try" is one of them but is the other "Cry" by Michael Jackson? I think Mariah would cover that beautifully and it'd be a nice tribute to him. As for Damizza, as mentioned before he posted about Thirsty, leaving a few mild comments about Mariah. I asked him why he would make comment on it, especially considering the magic they'd made together and the risk of tarnishing that through public put downs, despite any grievences they may share with eachother. He responded saying "we're just having fun, (there's) no hard feelings, (I've) nothing but respect for queen lamb". If it wasn't about him, I doubt he'd make himself look silly by responding to it all, so I stick by my theory, but his response made me question the seriousness of it all. It's all a load of fun, maybe, which is classic Mariah. The name throwing doesn't hurt if they're both in on the joke, it potentially gets his name out there a bit more and it gets people talking about the track a bit. It works all round.

Thirsty (43,654) by Carol from Spain Honestly these allegations that Thirsty was lifted from Purple Crush is absurd. I personally don't find anything similar detween the two songs. Copyright where? It's not like they trademarketed the title Thirsty. (Thursday 15 May 2014; 23:56)

Views (43,653) by G.G. from USA I'm not 100% sure how views count towards Billboard charts. If Mariah releases the audio to a song on YouTube/Vevo does that count towards chart position? What about lyric videos? If either of those count towards charts, wouldn't it be best for MC to immediately release the audio/lyric videos to YouTube? That way the views aren't "wasted". Thirsty has quite a few views on Revolt, but I don't think they count unless they're on YouTube/Vevo. (Thursday 15 May 2014; 23:22)

#Beautiful (Cazzette Remix) (43,652) by G.G. from USA I love it. I immediately put the song on my gym playlist. Mariah's remixes are great for working out. (Thursday 15 May 2014; 23:16)

Me. I am ready for Today show (43,651) by Keagon michael from USA I am so excited to see MC perform tomorrow on Today show, but I wish "Thirsty" was tearing up the internet and airwaves because it's a smash in my opinion. I only pray Mariah uses Bret R. again for a smash video concept with an actual story line. As fas the new album coming 12 days, whoho. I only wish other tracks were included as bonus tracks: Bring It On Home, Hope Street, Almost Home and even the Vintage Throwback on Triumphant. Yea I really said that because if Mariah ever made a pop version based on that mix, it would have been a hit. All she needed was another verse and a pop mix. I feel YME was also lacking a verse and layers of her voice. Thirsty though is my summer jam. I hope radio plays the out of it. P.S. The Cazzate Remix is definatley the best (#Beautiful). (Thursday 15 May 2014; 22:21)

Beautiful remix / Thirsty (43,650) by Orkun from The Netherlands The #Beautiful remix, I didn't like and that's ok. To me, it sounds like a remix of a Real To Real song called "I like to move it move it" with a few lines of #Beautiful. Btw, the rapper on Thirsty, he sounds a lot like Nick Cannon, but he isn't. I expect the video to have "pulses" during the chorus. Black screen first and Mariah appearing during "you're thirsty" and disappear. And repeat. Which would fit. Even parts black and white. Mariah mention before that the Idol finalists were singing backing vocals. It could be Thirsty, the mid section. Because that part sounds more like an rnb girl band rather than Mariah alone. Like the 90's band SWV. Thirsty, to me, is gonna be a big hit in the U.S. (Thursday 15 May 2014; 21:45)

Unpopular opinion? (43,649) by TR from USA You know, I've had Thirsty on loop for the past three days, and I gotta say, I like it the best out of every single she's released since Don't Forget About Us. #Beautiful was amazing, but for me it still had too little MC on it. It felt like a Miguel song. But about Thirsty, this beat is just nasty, and it's a hybrid of current and throwback. That hook is giving me late 90s like nothing else right now. The bass line in it feels like old school So So Def. Her ad-libs are full voice and playful, the whispering/cooing is minimal, her Flo-Jo running over the hook towards the end was olympic and much too short. I replay her laugh after "oh you a G now?" dozens of times per listen. Its not a girly 12 year old giggle. It's a hot, mature woman. Sure, I want some amazing lyrics, but this one is fun and sassy and the lyrics fit with the beat, so I will not complain. I think she nailed this because it gives us current and throwback. For it to get spins on radio it has to appeal more to the younger crowd, and they're feeling this. Those of us who were with her from the 90s probably aren't listening to the radio like they are (I don't at all because this EDM junk is trash IMO, and whatever it is passing for hip hop nowadays has sodomized real R&B). I'm fairly critical when it comes to new MC music, and I'll tell you if I think it's bad (I didn't care for TAOLG vocally or melodically; Triumphant.. we all agree there). I think she wins with Thirsty. (Thursday 15 May 2014; 18:58)

Who's thirsty? (43,648) by nikki from usa At this point, I don't think this track is about anyone. It's just a hot song created for fun. But, for the sake of fun let's see the possibilities. Initially, I actually thought it was about Mariah going along with her cover theme. Creative Mariah vs. Hit Machine Mariah. Then, I was wondering if it was about Mark Sudak since that's the relationship I knew the least about. He's the only guy MC's ever dated that wasn't already a vet in his own field. I never thought of Damizza. Stupid question, but does anyone think this was about Tommy? He had just taken over CBS records, now turned Sony and had to turn it all around. MC really was his first big break and became they're continual meal ticket. As much as she was promoted as a "lucky" kept girl, a lot of the truth is very much reversed. What would've happened if she went with Warner Bros? Her life may be quite different, but what would've become of Sony? And then there's Eminem. I've always said the only thing those 2 have in common is they both use her name to sell records. (Thursday 15 May 2014; 18:54)

Damizza and MC (43,647) by nikki from usa I know Mariah "discovered" him and gave him his name literally. She helped make him famous and considered him a friend. Shit hit the fan in 2001 where they had a falling out and he claims he bent over backwards for her and she owes him an apology for "putting him through hell". Considering the time frame it could have something to do with her Glitter project being scammed on. Mariah may have believed he had helped her ex with that. A few years after he claimed he was Mariah's boyfriend during the late 90's. He claimed he had proof. Sound familiar? He showed the pictures proving they were "dating". He was basically laughed at by fans and critics alike because they looked like fan photos. Plus, they were clearly during work: on the set of music videos and in the studio. In his book, he claimed he hooked up Eminem with Mariah at Em's request. He also states he was sure they were dating because there were a few times he knew they were flying out to "see each other". 50 cent claims the same although both admit they've never actually seen the pair together. Ironically, Mariah has never objected to the fact she hung out with him a few times and even mentioned one such time in "Clown". "Stealing 20 minutes in my G5, ain't nothing. Guess you didn't know that's the way I roll." (Thursday 15 May 2014; 18:17)

You're Mine Edit? (43,646) by Alex from England Mariah had told us lambs that there would be a longer version of the song on the album and I just realized that the tracklisting has the song clocking in at 3:42 just like the single version. I was excited to hear an album version with a couple of brand new lines. Oh well, honestly I am just happy about having a new album in less than 2 weeks but I guess I miss the excitement of having different versions of songs like we used to years ago. It is wat it is. (Thursday 15 May 2014; 17:21)

Re Damizza (43,645) by TR from USA Personally, I think it makes the song even better when we can speculate who it might be about. Nobody will probably ever really know for sure if Thirsty is about Damizza, but I find it that much more an enjoyable song to think that it might be - particularly the small background part becomes cuter where she giggles (again, perfect use) before and after "you're a G now," like she's saying "aww, that's cute". Sure, he nailed Crybaby and I Still Believe and all three hundred of those incredible ISB remixes - especially Pure Imagination, but I mean really, who is Damizza now, and what can he do about it but ride the wave? It'd really be giving him and his brand a boost of publicity. I'm not worried about him Emineming this situation. If his ego swings the other way and he gets cocky, let him have it. Makes him look even thirstier. (Thursday 15 May 2014; 17:09)

Today Show (43,644) by Angelo from Italy I really really hope that tomorrow Mariah will sing (really sing) Thirsty, TAOLG and, maybe, another new song. What are you're hopes for tomorrow? (Thursday 15 May 2014; 16:58)

#Beautiful dance mix (43,643) by Alex from England Slant premiered a new #Beautiful dance mix, which I must say is my favorite of all the single's dance mixes. They say they did try to get the resung remix but that "it remains sadly under lock in the vaults". Seriously, why would Def Jam refuse to release that remix? They know we all crave for resung mixes. A petition? Inundate Mariah's twitter about the remix? (Thursday 15 May 2014; 16:50)

Slant #Beautiful Remix (43,642) by Gilbert from USA I was super excited this morning to hear the new #Beautiful remix. Then, I read the following: "Last summer, the singer revealed that she'd recorded new vocals for 'a hot new dance remix' of her 33rd Top 20 hit, freestyling over a spare beat in an effervescent manner we haven't heard from her since 'Emotions'. But while that version sadly remains locked in the vaults (sorry, lambs, we tried our best)." Bummer. I was looking forward to that remix version. (Thursday 15 May 2014; 15:58)

New #Beautiful remix (43,641) by Eternal from Italy Listen to the previously unreleased Cazzette Remix of #B, released on the Slant Magazine website. On the main page you can see the link to it. Hot tamale. (Thursday 15 May 2014; 15:31)

Damizza (43,640) by Licia from USA It was the fans who started all this drama telling Damizza the song is about him. I can't stand Damizza because I think he's a cocky douche, but the fans were wrong and started attacking him first. My thing is who really cares who the song is about? Just enjoy the song and stop over analyzing things. The song could be about anybody. Guess what? Mariah will never tell you who so let it go. Social media makes the fan experience suck. I miss the days when we just enjoyed the music. There was no fighting, stan wars, and unnecessary attacks. We just enjoyed the music and all was calm in the world. Rant over. (Thursday 15 May 2014; 13:15)

Support (43,639) by Darryle from USA I hope Mariah supports this single with good promo and performances. She needs a huge hit if she wants big sales. We all know Mariah didn't want to release a single so Thirsty was probably the labels doing. If it was I hope Mariah doesn't plan on do the bare minimum on performances or lip synching. What's her strategy with radio release first then digital release who knows when? Most of charting comes from downloads not AirPlay and request. (Thursday 15 May 2014; 9:50)

Damizza (43,638) by Darryle from USA I read all the aritlces dealing with Damizza and Mariah and I still can't determine whether it's about him or not. The lyrics could be about him. He stunts on instagram and he's not very nice on twitter towards Mariah. But on one instagram post he said nothing but respect for the queen lamb. Which makes me wonder why Mariah would write a song about someone who isn't messing with her. In the lyrics Mariah said pull down your "Tom fords and act like you see." I've never seen him wear tom fords. Well even if it's not about him it sure is getting him attention because everyone seem to think it's about him. (Thursday 15 May 2014; 9:02)

MC doing her thing (43,637) by nOVA from USA [...] Yeah, I just heard Mimi's new joint, def doing her thing throwing it down, she still got mad lyrical skills and showing that A-town Crunk influence on her album's sound via JD. I'm personally loving Mariah with that crazy beat, sounds deep and it's going to pop in my Pathfinder with the sound system my husband insisted on putting in my truck. And that she released it to radio and not to general distribution? [...] I was rendered still. (Thursday 15 May 2014; 8:45)

Thirsty (43,636) by Mara from United States Yeah, I saw Damizza's comments on twitter and he seems to be enjoying the attention and seems to think it's a song about him too. I just don't get that feeling that it's about Damizza. (Thursday 15 May 2014; 2:54)
