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)

Damizza (43,635) by G.G. from USA I never knew a lot about their friendship. Out of curiosity I checked out his Instagram and Twitter. He made not so nice comments about the new song. Get em get em get em. Lol. Just kidding. (Thursday 15 May 2014; 0:05)

Sorry (43,634) by Darryle from USA Sorry webmaster, I didn't even notice the search bar at the top. But I have since then used it and am filling myself in on the beefs. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 23:39)

Gilles (43,633) by Licia from USA Bravo. I couldn't agree more with what you said. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 23:02)

Confusion over "Target exclusive", MIAM (43,632) by Christy from USA I am confused over the whole "Target exclusive" thing with Me. I Am Mariah. According to MariahCarey.com it's a "Target exclusive" release. Or is this just the "America the Beautiful" addition? I ask this because MIAM is also for sale at Amazon.com and Best Buy. The wording at MC.com implies the entire CD is a "Target exclusive", not just the America the Beautiful version. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 22:48)

Thirsty (43,631) by B from USA It's what I expected. The title is Thirsty, what were people expecting? It sounds like a Hit Boy beat because it is. I loved Almost Home, #Beautiful, and You're Mine (Eternal). Thirsty is catchy. I like the beat and the lyrics are clever. It's a cute, fun summery song. It's perfect for summer. It's got a beat you can bounce to. I'm buying the album on the 27th. I hope she worked with a big name director for the video like Hype or Paul Hunter or Diane Martel who's been working with Miley.

Bill from UK and Mimi L. (43,630) by enwar00 from usa I was just thinking about the buzz single practice this week as well. Mimi after reading your post, it reminded me of the Butterfly era. I feel like back then if there was suspicion that the newest single wouldn't hit #1, they didn't release a commercial single in the US, therefore it couldn't chart on Billboard. #2 would be so embarrassing wouldn't it? And forget about #11, that would be the chart equivalent of social suicide. Now that they can't manipulate the charts in that respect, a single gets downgraded based on its performance, as if you can just go back in time when you want to. I think this is pretty lame. It's been happening with other artists and singles as well. What's the big deal, have 8 singles from an album, half of them perform better than the others. And? (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 22:11)

Target album cover (43,629) by Gilbert from USA As much as I love the Forever album cover that's black and white, I noticed that her new album cover looks pretty similar to it. I actually wish that would've been her album cover for Daydream. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 21:48)

MIAMTEC streaming on iTunes May 20 (43,628) by Quaid Long from USA I've seen a couple of sources saying that the album will be streaming on iTunes a full week before its May 27 release. As always, not confirming this, just introducing it into the mix. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 21:39)

Parental Advisory (43,627) by Jono from USA I think this is the first ever album from Mariah that will contain the Parental Advisory sticker. My guess though is that it'll be because of the features she has, since Mariah has always censored those "bad words" in her own lyrics. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 21:02)

Bill / buzz singles (43,626) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lol well JD's words not mine. Infact I agree with you, I wrote several days back that everytime a single doesn't do well (and mostly due to lack of promotion) it is labelled a buzz single by Mariah's team. Like TAOLG, Triumphant. I mentioned before, if TAOLG wasn't meant to be a proper single, why bother with making a "unprecedented" worldwide same day release and give it a better cover than all the other covers of the album and singles. Even YME didn't get a good cover. Now that YM didn't perform upto mark, JD said it's a buzz single. Which is silly. They are trying to make it that #B is the first single, Thirsty (with a potential to crack top 10) is the second, so that all the under performing singles do not bring down the image of the overall album. So yes, I am with you on this topic. But I did love all the singles she released. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 20:56)

I forgot (43,625) by Tarraga from New York City On Rap-Up.com, go to "new music" and you can stream both real versions of Thirsty. Sorry webmaster, I didn't know we couldn't use links on the messages. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 20:50)

Here is the real version of Thirsty (43,624) by Tarraga from New York City Here is the non high pitched version of Thirsty. It is on rap-up.com. The remix is there too. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 20:42)

Gilles said it all (43,623) by Sunshine Divalamb from Germany Amen, this is exactly what I mean. She has so many types of songs/music so everybody has their pick when she releases her art and craft. That's why I think that people should just come down from their "I don't like this song". She gave us a few different kind off songs this past year, for every taste and type she had something great. She is one of the few artists still out there that is so versatile. Respect her as an artist, respect her vision and brighten yours. She deserves so much more than what she is getting at the moment from her fans, she gave us so much for more than 2 decades and what do a lot do? Bring her down the minute the song is not up to their taste or expectation. Some of you are just that thirsty. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 20:41)

Target exclusive (43,622) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Good news for all the American lambs wanting the Japanese edition cover. Target will hold the version of the album with the Japanese cover and America the Beautiful. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 20:33)

Mimi L / buzz singles (43,621) by Bill from the UK Lol, sorry but is "buzz" now a trendy word for "flop"? I find it funny how Triumphant, TAOLG and now You're Mine are being designated as buzz singles because they didn't impact any charts. TAOLG I can believe, but the others, no way. If Triumphant had been a runaway success and a number one hit for 15 weeks running, the album would have been out last year and you all would be singing its praises. If it has a video produced, comes with remixes and is available to buy (and therefore chart), it's a single. This hasn't been Mariah's best string of singles (chart wise), but these excuses are becoming tired now. I love Thirsty. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 20:20)

Thirsty, different songs (43,620) by Joe from United Kingdom I actually have not posted here in awhile, since then a bunch of new faces have appeared and that whole saga with that Issac guy came to an end. Anyway this is how I feel about Thirsty. I love the song, I can understand why some people might not like it, but I love it because it's really catchy and it sounds current, but still has Mariah's style on it. Songs I've liked the most so far are #Beautiful, Almost Home and Thirsty. I didn't really like TAOLG and YME was ok and it struck me that the songs I've liked the most are the one's she did with different producers. I like her past work with JD but sometimes now when they do a song together it sounds slightly dated or like another We Belong Together (YME). I just want her to keep evolving and branching out musically. If I don't like a song I say I'm not feeling it I move on and hopefully I'll like the next one. To the people who want the same style songs from the 90's, it's quite simple, go and listen to those songs. That's what I do if I want 90's Mariah, I go listen to it. If I want hip-hop Mimi, I go listen to that. Just saying. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 19:54)

Thirsty (43,619) by Edu from USA I have to join the club of lambs that aren't feeling it for Thirsty. I agree that in terms of commercial appeal she needed to release a club banger but I just don't see this song rising above the competition and it is just not growing on me either. I'm just sad because I know Mariah wants that 19th #1 as much as we want to give it to her, but I really doubt this song will be it. It is already proven to be very divisive. Honestly, I'm ready for the next single and I really hope she has a better club banger than this one in the album. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 19:01)

Thirsty (43,618) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't care what people say, Thirsty combined with the new iTunes banner got Mariah's album back in the iTunes top 40 US album charts. So imagine if this song is properly released and promoted, how great it would be for the album. I'm a little worried though that is Mariah not going to release this a proper single. JD did say that this is the second official single, the first being #B. The rest are buzz singles. So I do hope there is a proper release and a banging video to accompany it. Like somebody else wrote, the video should be matured and hot like it's like that and get your number. I think TEOM has some of her best videos along with Butterfly. I also agree with Gilles, Triumphant is hated collectively by lambs whereas many non lambs love it. I really like it too. It is a great song and had a great video. The only thing disappointing was that it was released then as a lead single and was Mariah's first single after Memoirs and yet she had little parts. So maybe it's not great for a lead single after waiting for 3 years, but in all I really like the song. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 18:53)

Thirsty (43,617) by Jenny from South Africa I love this song. For me it was catchy from the first listen and it's just an adorable song. #Beautiful took a while to grow on me. I think it's a lot better than Migrate. To be honest, that's the only song I ever skip on E=MC2. Thirsty is such a fun catchy song. Love love love it. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 18:28)

Thirsty (43,616) by Edward from USA I haven't heard the song yet. I will listen to it when it becomes available for download, since I've been hearing many people saying that the version on the internet is high pitched. My expectation isn't set too high, so I'm not rushing either. Most people love #Beautiful, but this one has even been compared to Triumphant which makes me worried. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 18:28)

Amen, brother Gilles from Malta (43,615) by Carlos Jaramillo from USA As long as I have been posting here, and anyplace else I reference Mariah, Iv'e always spoken about, since the Butterfly era, how she didn't "sing" the same. It bothered me that she didn't allow herself to be directed by Tommy, which clearly (IMO) had a successful vision and formula for her. After she left, her music took on so many different attributes and expanded over so many genres and, I just wanted her to "sing" sing; to belt out tunes like she used to, and did so majestfully, for example, in Never Forget You. But you are right to the freaking penny. She gave "each" and every one of us what we want. I am old school, and you were right. I loved TAOLG so much. Despite its lack of success. I love the ballads, I loved YM(E). She gives a little bit to everyone and she loves creating all of it. I was so against this song and thought it was a horrible choice, but soon noticed that so many people really liked it. Then your post got me thinking. I, and other like me, am the idiot that barricades my tastes and senses from expanding and appreciating the individual beauty of such opposing styles. She has that ability. Hence, the fact that she is there, and I am here. Well, that and a couple other factors. Lol. Brother Gilles, you have given me an epiphany and, after 24 years of loving our queen, I can honestly say, I have re-evaluated my relationship with Mariah and I see her in a whole new light. I'm "ready" for this album, so much more, thanks to you bro Gilles. Thank you. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 17:33)

Re: two versions of "Thirsty" (43,614) by Dani from USA I prefer the one without Rich Homie Quan's verses. They're a little too lewd for my taste, and for some reason, the rap doesn't mesh well with the rest of the song. It sounds out of place, in my opinion. Has anyone else noticed that? In any case, the radio rip that's roaming around on the internet is of bad quality. I think they should have just released the version that's on Revolt. I think MC's management should have also put out a lyric video. The whole thirsty/champagne concept would fare quite well in a lyric video, in my opinion. And on a sidenote: I think the song is about Nick. There's that one line about the Tom Fords. Didn't Nick buy a million-dollar pair of diamond-encrusted Tom Fords? I wish there was an official release of the lyric video, honestly. I couldn't make out all the words from the song, especially at the end when MC sings something about "Cassidy". Does anyone know anything about that? (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 17:00)

Gilles (43,611) by Twisterman from Brazil There's no need to say anything else, you said it all. Equals MC noway, she does all kinds of music (so maybe not please everyone). Also there's no why be comparing MC with success of other young artists, unfortunately many (no generalizing) like them, not their talent, but because it's a trend. MC has been a trend, but behind had talent, great talent, which is reflected today. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 16:52)

Thirsty (43,610) by Billy from England, UK After listening to this song after a number of times it still doesn't appeal to me. She should have just released Imperfect, that's an up tempo song and sounds fresh still. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 16:07)
