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)

Thirsty (43,609) by Gilbert from USA Alright, I would like to have this song and stop streaming it only because the sound quality isn't that great. I actually try and do little moves in the car and I'm bouncing the song. Haha. I'm Thirsty for this to be on iTunes. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 16:03)

Thirsty review (43,608) by Gilles from Malta I love it because I have always been in the hip hop and R&B music. Regarding the choice of the single, do you really think that Mariah had the choice lol? She didn't stop fighting with Island Def Jam. Regarding Thirsty, it is like the music label named Strange Music and Tech9 ( the best actual hip hop music label of our erea). People who are not into real hiphop and independant label can not understand. Thirsty is made to have an impact for everyone and to promote her to the world to make money. People who love MC for her ballads had You're Mine. People who love Mariah classic had The Art Of Letting Go. People who like pop had Beautiful. Regarding Triumphant, it is funny because people who do not really like MC love it lol. I just want to say that we are extremely lucky that Mariah is a talented artist and that she is able to offer to everybody a different type of music. Do not be selfish, that album is for everyone. And keep in mind, new album means business. It is her last record to Island Def Jam. So support her, she really diserve it. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 15:42)

Yeah yeah yeah yada yada yada (43,607) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia All we need now is a grown and sexy banging video (ah la "Its Like That") to drop right before the album and I think we got ourselves another big hit (in my Randy Jackson voice). We wanted an energetic club banger and ladies and gents that's exactly what she gave us. Well done Mimi, lets go get em. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 15:24)

Okay later (43,606) by OGmattyICE from US I feel like I don't even want to come to this site again for a very long time. The negativity is getting stupid. Whether you're serious or just trolling, it's ruining experiences for true fans like myself. So you've really done it now. I support Mariah 100% and you people make no sense to me. I wish there was a blog where everyone was optimistic. I'd pay to see you say your words to Mariah's face. She's proud of what she's accomplished. To the lambs, I love you and cherish you, but I must go for a while, these negative "critics" are not worth my time. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 15:23)

Damizza and Mark (43,605) by Darryle from USA Could someone please fill me in on the beef with Dammiza Mark Sudack and Mariah? I looked it up on some websites but didn't find enough info to figure out what it was about. I'd really like to know because apparently the song could be about either one of them. [Webmaster: It always hurts when someone looks it up on other websites, but not on this website. I've spend hours each day for the last 16 years updating this website. There are 11.836 news articles on this website, and if you searched "Damizza", you will find many articles about their arguments.] (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 15:06)

Mixed reviews (43,604) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I've been reading reviews of Mariah's new single Thirsty on this messageboard and other websites, and it is clear that this song generates mixed reviews. Some love it, some hate it and some don't care. There's nothing wrong with this, not everyone has the same taste in music. What bothers me are the fans who say Mariah has lost it, that she can't make quality music, that all her songs suck. Well, that's just your opinion. I'm well aware that Mariah these days sell less albums. Is this because of the quality of her songs? I don't think so, I think it is because Mariah has evolved to a different genre that less people like. Some of the best songs (according to me) of other artists were big flops, but I still adore these songs. What I'm trying to say, just because you don't like some songs doesn't mean the artist isn't talented. I don't like country, metal, hard rock, jazz, etc, but that doesn't mean I think these artists are less talented than others. If you don't like the music Mariah makes these days, there is a simple solution: don't listen to the new songs. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 14:25)

Thirsty for champagne (43,603) by Eternal from Italy The sound of a bottle of champagne being opened and poured into a glass as the opening of Thirsty really aptly describes this whole Me. I Am Mariah era. It couldn't be more accurate. Isn't Mariah always thirsty for some champagne whenever she shows up for an interview these days? The song title is actually kinda funny. Like a self mockery in a way. I woke up this morning singing "uh I'm thirsty, uh I'm hungry". The video possibilities are endless with a song title like that. I hope that if she does release it as a single, she doesn't just sit around moaning "I'm thirsty" while touching herself in a million places lol. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 14:06)

Great single (43,602) by S from England Is there something wrong with lambs? They want an up-tempo radio/club friendly song. Oh no, now they want a ballad. Oh now they want a jazz themed song. Just stop. The song is great, it's a hit and it's nice and catchy. Some of you have a nerve to be comparing it to Triumphant. Just don't please. Great choice Mariah, and I know that with or without the support of the immediate lamb community, this song will definitely reach the top 20 if not higher. Good effort Mimi - 7.5/10. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 14:03)

Oh why? (43,600) by George Golden from UK Oh why? This is her worst song ever. What is going on? Is this the same Mariah that sang Hero, Vison of love, Anytime you need a friend? What is she singing? She is getting worse. Please protect your legacy and stop this crap music. I listened to the song again today and all I could do was cringe. Truimphant was a million times better than this song. I guess with this new song people can now see why she added three songs from her last album, there's just no inspiration. Ever since 1997 when she started this hip hop thing it has just been downhill. I am already cringing thinking of what the video will be like. Mariah is loosing it big time right before our eyes and she will be the last person to know it. Sad. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 14:00)

Thirsty (43,599) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom Thirsty is an absolute banger. Exactly what this album needed before its release. Judging from what I've heard thus far, I suspect Mariah is going to try to maintain a balance on this album, between classic ballads such as One More Try, mid-tempos like #Beautiful and the more hip hop infused numbers, such as Thirsty. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 13:48)

Rant (43,598) by Darryle from USA Sorry for the long rant on the last post. Just needed to get that stuff out there. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 13:03)

Negativity (43,597) by Darryle from USA What's with all the hate for Thirsty. People are saying it's worse than Triumphant, it's not what they wanted, it's another hip hop beat etc. This song is nowhere near as bad as Triumphant. Mariah's vocals are stronger, the lyrics don't go from an uplifting rap verse to throwing money on strippers and have big cars. They stay consistent throughout the song. It is similar to N*ggas in Paris and it's not the best vocally but makes up for it in it's catchiness. It's got all the components of a first single which in reality it really is. It's catchy, the lyrics are good, has a summer vibe, and the gp will like it. I don't see how everyone can be dissapointed with it not being an uptempo. That's practically what the entire lambily has been asking for. Judging by the title and that Hit-Boy produced it I knew it would be an uptempo. As for the hip hop influences, they won't go away. They've always been apart of Mariah from the beginning. Jermaine even said he tries to get Mariah to do more ballads and less hip hop stuff but it's what she wants. Lastly I don't think it's been said here but to the goats saying it's not age appropriate. There's nothing wrong with this song. It's not like she's old. Look at Beyonce, 30 something, has a kid a few years younger than Mariah's and is making songs about giving head and no one says make songs age appropriate. I hope more people start to realize this songs potential because Mariah really needs a break. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 13:01)

Now video (43,594) by Zachary from Croatia Song is perfect. I am hoping for a remix like she did with We Belong Together and than the video has to be sassy and edgy with some guys in the video instead just her. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 11:00)

Thirsty for a dream, filled with discontent (43,593) by Loris from Italy In the realm of her discography Thirsty is not an experimental track, but it definitely encapsulates many trademarks of a Mariah composition post-Butterfly, like Crybaby, Clown, Miss You, Shake It Off, Migrate, Obsessed. Lyrically, it is a reminescence of Clown and Obsessed and showcases the usual contents and language of a typical Mariah song, while sonically it reminds especially of Migrate, although the formula has been upgraded towards a more sensual vibe. The catatonic line "Oh, you’re thirsty" is the quintessential Mariah hotness. Plus, she is very funny when mentioning instagram (in 2008 it was a YouTube moment XD). The vocals are divinely roboticizated, but there's no mistaking Mariah Carey. In other words, with the exception of Triumphant (huge misstep), Mariah has released quite good r&b songs, with "#Beautiful" being her blissfully outstanding modern classic, "You're mine" and incredible nostalgic moment and "Thristy" simply her potential new number 1.

On point (43,592) by Dani from USA I think "Thirsty" is on point. I actually thought it was going to be a song about Nicki Minaj, but I'm glad it wasn't. I am surprised that it's about a man, though. Someone mentioned that it might be about Mizza. That's an interesting theory. If it's about Nick, well then, I'm glad she's channeling her frustrations through her music. There's a conviction to her voice that we haven't heard since TEOM, and it makes her sound much more human (more relatable, I think). Some of you like raw ballads, and although this isn't a ballad, it's definitely raw. She seems to be wrapping her voice around the beat, which is something artists aren't doing these days. What she's doing with her voice is quite innovative, I feel. The layering, someone mentioned, different from her usual stuff, though I can't exactly pinpoint why. Whatever it is, it's definitely catchy. Someone's already mentioned that at the beginning, where we hear the pouring of the champagne, makes it clear that MC was painstakingly attentive to detail this time around (which also leaves me wondering why she had that lighter in the studio that one day). Even the ending, where the beat falls away and we just hear her voice is too good. It'll be a great album, on par with TEOM, rest assured. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 9:38)

Thirsty (43,591) by Matthew from USA I'm not liking it. My favorite song on the album thus far is #Beautiful. From the opening guitar strings the melody kicks in and you just find yourself singing along. Uptempo or ballad, it doesn't matter to me, as long as the melody and the chorus are good. I guess Thirsty would be more in line with her hip-hop side, so the melody takes a backseat to the beat. And the chorus is a chanted "you're thirsty" repeated. I can't say this song makes me want to hit the dance floor, it doesn't make me smile, doesn't make me sad, doesn't make me nostalgic. It kind of just is. At least it sounds fresh. So that's a plus. Sometimes the stars align and you get a fantastic melody, good lyrics, a memorable chorus and solid vocals. It's happened once on this album already with #Beautiful. Here's to hoping it will happen again. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 8:30)

Me. I Am Jordan... Too Thirsty4Mariah (43,590) by Jordan Pasqua from U.S.A Totally excited for the new Mariah album as well as this supposed new single. I would love to hear the entire track seeing that I've only heard about 2:47 of that track. Can't wait any longer for that new Me. I Am Mariah. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 8:29)

Buying Thirsty (43,589) by Darryle from USA Has anyone bought Thirsty yet? I can't seem to find it on the iTunes store. I know Mariah released it to radio already but I don't know if she put it on iTunes. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 8:26)

Eternal (43,587) by Sunshine Divalamb from Germany You wrote "Mariah really can't get a break. She has two groups of lambs: the first group loves her pop and adult contemporary stuff, like #Beautiful, Hero, etc, and are likely to be the older fans." Totally disagree on that point dahling. I'm a oldschool lamb since 1990 and with me a lot of others I know and I love all styles Mariah sings in, please don't label us just because we have been by Mariah's side since the beginning. I know some very young lambs that only like the older stuff and not really the newer stuff, so it has nothing to do with the age of the fan but more with their taste in sound. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 7:46)

G.G. (43,586) by Sunshine Divalamb from Germany Totally disagree. Because we don't bash her doesn't mean we love and like everything Mariah does. There are songs I don't care for, but I still appreciate them because I know a lot of others will love them and I know she put her heart and soul in these songs, just because it's not my taste doesn't mean the songs are bad. Some of you are just waiting to say something negative and will do so with every little thing she does. There is a difference between sometimes giving your (negative) opinion and always complain about every little thing. The song isn't even out for 24 hours and I'm sure some didn't even give it a second listen before they threw it in the trash. By the saying "true fans" it's more about not having to bash Mariah, say she is over and done with or the album will flop just because you don't like a song or 2. What kind off fan says that not knowing how the rest of the songs are going to be? If you can't keep the negativity out for one single thing maybe some should reconsider finding another artist to like, because for some Mariah is clearly not doing it anymore, to read it as a fan since the beginning I must say it gets to a point that it's getting old. This message isn't only for you G.G. but I wanted to comment after seeing your post. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 7:40)
