YDKWTD (43,829) by Jono from USA Mariah and Co, please please please release this track. You can also release Thirsty, but YDKWTD has a far greater mass appeal and can keep her in the conversation and thus promote the album. It seriously has hit written all over it. Thirsty appeals to her fan base, and it's a solid song, but it won't have staying power and may be another disappointing single that causes no buzz. YDKWTD has that potential to be a monster hit, and even non fans are loving the song. Plus it is absolutely perfect for summer. If this song is overlooked and skipped, it will be another regret. As Lambs we can request this song to be played on the radio and hopefully as it gets more popular, her team will realize that its getting a much larger response than Thirsty from the public. Also, I think it speaks volumes that the media is writing about this track, and not Thirsty. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 3:50)

You Don't Know What To Do (43,827) by NYHotShotta from USA As must of you are I've been hooked on this song since she performed it. I wish the studio version had Maryann, Trey, and Takeitha doing background vocals like the live version but I love the studio track nonetheless. Apparently tonight we can listen to the entire album on iTunes Radio. I already reordered the album I think I'm gonna wait tip it drops. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 3:49)

YDKWTD (43,826) by Special K from USA Heard YDK twice on the radio today. I'm addicted to that song. I haven't been this excited about a new Mariah Carey song since WBT. That song is pure perfection. Mariah has taken music to another level again. Nobody has a single out right now that even comes close. I agree, hope they release a version without Wale. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 3:49)

Wow (43,825) by Matthew from USA YDKWTD is giving me everything. And that intro is so diva. Lol. I love it. I was really scared for this album because of the fighting with the label and the push backs. I thought maybe the material wasn't up to snuff, so the label didn't want to support it. But everything from #Beautiful to YDKWTD has been pretty solid so I am at a loss for what's going on there. This latest song proves that if the label doesn't promote and support this album properly, it won't be because there aren't any hit-worthy songs on it. Mimi did what she had to do in the studio. Let's see how this plays out. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 3:25)

Critics (43,824) by B from USA Mariah delivers musically and she's criticised for being over weight. She said during her interview on the Today Show that the photoshoot took place a year ago so it's not like she's saying she looks like that now. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 3:14)

YDKWTD / I'm hooked / I Don't Know What To Do (43,823) by Edward from USA I can't stop playing YDKWTD. I'm definitely hooked and I don't know what to do. Wale doesn't know what to do either talking over Mariah's perfect intro. He should have a few seats and let Mariah do her thing. I hope Mariah releases a non rap version a la Heartbreaker. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 1:49)

YDKWTD (43,822) by Billy from England, UK "You Don't Know What To Do" Has to be my fave song, I love it. I can't stop pressing replay. It's one of her best songs she has ever made. Amazing Mariah. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 1:22)

Sos (43,821) by Shezz from Pk Somebody save this gem of a track YDKWTD from the irritating claws of Wale's voice. I can still tolerate his unnecessary rap verses, but how can one talk over that beautiful intro? We need a petition for a Wale free version. (Tuesday 20 May 2014; 0:14)

Thirsty now on Vevo (43,820) by SC from USA Hi guys, I'm just expressing frustration at the fact that the Thirsty audio has now been posted on Vevo for streaming, but of course we don't have a single banner promoting it. Do they really expect people to find it by browsing and browsing? How is it that Michael Jackson, Demi Lovato, and Lea Michele (yes, Lea Michele) can all afford one, but not Mariah? This is just shocking to me. I'm praying that something pops up at least tomorrow. The song has potential, it just needs to be discovered on Vevo. [...] What's wrong with this? JD come on. Don't even get me started on iTunes promo, but on that front I'm really praying for an explosion of Mariah when the album is actually released, just like Beyonce's. Do you guys think that could happen? Maybe they are saving the money for that? (Monday 19 May 2014; 23:34)

Wale (43,819) by Wojtek from Poland I'm waiting for "You Don't Know What To Do" without Wale in intro. He destroyed this wonderful introduction. (Monday 19 May 2014; 23:30)

Extra (43,817) by Fady from Lebanon I can't wait to hear the entirety of this album. Every track that's been released or performed is exceptional. I love the retro feel to it all. And I guess we have a gospel number (No Ways Tired) to end this sonic trip with tears of happy. I love Mariah and I love this new sound. That's a person doing their best and an artist delivering beautiful work. (Monday 19 May 2014; 23:18)

Remove his voice (43,816) by G.G. from USA I hope that one of the lambs who is great with computers and soundboards removes Wale's voice from the beginning of You Don't Know What To Do. Maybe the guy who did the promo for Mariah's new CD will be able to do it. (Monday 19 May 2014; 23:16)

Wale (43,815) by Liz Archer from Sweden I absolute love her new song, but I got to be honest IMHO that rapper ruins her intro at the beginning. Clearing his trout and such, and talking over her. Why? I don't know why it annoys me so much, but it feels unprofessional. Wish I could remove it. (Monday 19 May 2014; 22:17)

The voice (43,814) by B from USA The voice we hear is her voice so I don't care if she lips part of a song. All singers do it. It's not that big of deal. Katy Perry was lipping at the Billboard Awards last night. Are there any post about her doing so? No there isn't. The reason is Mariah can sing. She's known as The Voice. Another reason is people love trying to tear her down. Sad but true. May 27th is only 8 days away. (Monday 19 May 2014; 20:05)

UK release is a go through Amazon.co.uk (43,813) by John john from UK The CD is finally getting some promo on amazon.co.uk. Wasn't really looking forward to it as I had been thinking it was gonna be delayed. Now finally realising it's just days away am very excited. I love the new track debut on the Today show. Not the intro but as the beat kicks in it's clearly the best song since Beautiful. Hopefully there's gonna be a tour. Not sure UK will get it, but will travel to USA for sure. (Monday 19 May 2014; 19:33)

Changing subjects (43,812) by Lee from USA I think Mimi would be fine on her next album. But did anyone watch the Billboard Music Awards? I watched bits and pieces of it. How could an artist who struggled to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 for nearly two decades be named a Billboard Icon? (Monday 19 May 2014; 19:25)

The wait (43,811) by enwar00 from usa The wait for this album is finally getting to me. I'm on vacation and could really use the album now (caps) to go along with that. Sigh one more week. (Monday 19 May 2014; 19:11)

Thirsty (43,809) by andy from philippines Thirsty (audio) is officially on Vevo. (Monday 19 May 2014; 18:16)

You Don't Know What To Do radio release (43,808) by andy from philippines "You don't know what to do" just released on radio. Listen it here. (Monday 19 May 2014; 16:17)

That video (43,807) by Marcel from Montréal, Canada The video could be real but then that means someone off her team leaked the mic's audio out. I mean, it certainly fits to what happened but doesn't mean audienve heard - or unheard - that. There's been cases back then of other singers being fooled by their on people like Enrique Iglesias and his rythm divine late in the 90's. Sometimes engs get tired and that's when this happens. Obviously MC had belted live before and on early 90 did to excellence but nowadays she lips alot and to ABMB she's been doing that since 2010 I guess. Other thing you'd notice is that since 99 she's prepared "live pre-recordings" to some songs so when she goes on stage lambs and fans say "it was live because is different to the album version". Yes, that's exactly the reason to prepare a recording like that. Recall "Heartbreaker" anybody? Almost all her European performances since 97 are lipped. WMA are not usually. We are going to find out next week. Hope for her own good she's not being sabotaged by her own team because it could get even worst. But you know, if you cheat you deserve to be exposed. Not hate but just concious. (Monday 19 May 2014; 16:13)

The Elusive Chanteuse (43,806) by andy from philippines Physical copies. (Monday 19 May 2014; 15:54)

Randy (43,805) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia I really hope you're right boo. Because I can't really see her being that confortable lipping on that level in front of a live audience like that. Who knows, but I wouldn't go as far so to say all of her live belts are all fake or prerecorded. Yes we know many of them have been, but we've also heard many undeniable ones from her recently as well. I just chalk it up as one of her "off" days. Hopefully she breaks out of this. (Monday 19 May 2014; 15:42)

The legend (43,804) by meka from usA I wrote a post Thursday and can not find it anywhere. In short I was saying how I am tired of all these [...] lambs complaining about when Mariah does a type of music they do not necessarily like. I love it all. Rock Mariah, Pop Mariah, R&B Mariah, 80"s Mariah, Disco Mariah, Jazz Mariah, Soul Mariah, sing any diva under the table Mariah. The point is we all may have different musical tastes and that's fine but just because something is not your type of music does not automatically mean it is horrible. I agree Triumphant was not the best, but the different remixes made me appreciate it more. For me it's all about the musicality of it. Some people from what I am reading just like to complain about every and anything which is getting ridiculous. Oh and BTW the Today show was 97% live with a few lipped part here and there. Mariah gives herself away with her facial expressions. You can tell she was singing or wait do you guys think she lipped "I forgot the words to my own song"? Lol. As a student of music and a rare lamb that has actually sung live with MC, leave the woman alone, she is as close to perfection that ever existed. Pow. (Monday 19 May 2014; 15:42)

You Don't Know What To Do (43,803) by PJW from The U.K. The song just debuted on radio and it's fantastic. The bass is sexy, production sleek and smooth and her vocals are gorgeous. And she scats too, albeit only a tiny bit. Wale sounds good on the rap, though his talking over the intro (just like on the live performance) is odd and out of place. Hearing the studio version it shows how good the vocal arrangement at the Today show was. The backing singers really added oomph to it which would have been nice on the studio version but it's really not necessary, it sounds great anyway. I actually think this is gonna be one of my favourite Mariah songs. (Monday 19 May 2014; 15:02)

Supernatural (43,802) by Darryle from USA I think they took the snippet of this down. I went looking for it to listen but it's not up there. (Monday 19 May 2014; 14:55)
