You're Mine / WBT (41,389) by Ryan from the Philippines I have to disagree that YM and its lyrics sound dated. Yes, it's giving me this 90's throwback feel yet sounding really current and fresh. I am loving the melody, I'm loving the music, the background vocals, etc. And the her main vocals sound so Daydream/Butterfly-ish. It's funny that some compare it to WBT, DFAU and even TMB like for real, TMB? Lol. Even the slightest of WBT, I don't hear anything like it, except for what they are saying it's the sustained high chest note at the end. But please, it has been one of her trademark vocals since day 1. YM's sustained chest note even shifts to another octave. Amidst all this negativity from some, not so delighted people here, I would like to give the song hats off for having earned a modest 5M audience impression (as of this writing) despite the fact that initial release made last February 12th was only at few radio stations in the US. I believe, official radio release is pushed on the 17th. And yes lambies and TEOM die-hard fans, finally, We Belong Together has now reached the 100M mark on Youtube, making it Carey's first ever Vevo certified video. These are all just positive comments for the love. Congrats Mimi. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 16:33)

Off the iTunes charts (41,388) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I couldn't find the song on the iTunes chart anymore. I think the reason why the song does it so badly on the charts is because the song is boring. Mariah needs to put out something festive, something for the party, something that will suprise people when they first listen to it. If she keeps on releasing slow ballads like You're Mine, I'm afraid she will never chart again. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 15:31)

Confused? (41,387) by Blake from USA I read the press release for "You're Mine" and don't forget the eternal like the BET host or Mariah will point that fault out too. This release was from IDJ and it stated that the single was released to radio formats across the country the same day as the single was on iTunes, video premiere on MTV. So I am confused to why you are all saying the single isn't released to radio yet? Personally the public is so turned off from Mariah's antics as a diva, whackjob moments; the Facebook makes and child like images of her living in her bubble are enough to frighten any new potential fan but she also seems to have lost touch with reality. I think this is why it's falling on iTunes (#108 now). I know this post will get thumbs down galore but as much as I love the new single, Mariah comes off crazy to the public and even radio. I miss the humble MC. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 15:12)

Stephen (41,386) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I agree with you about the promotion route. Yes Mariah is really going out if her way to promote the song the best she can and I also was wondering why she isn't appearing on Ellen because she seems to love being on it and also it will get major attention on the song. Your idea about her appearing on Wendy is great, I heard Wendy talk about M many times and she had nothing but great things to say about her. She can also make an appearnace on Alan Carr's show for the UK fans. M has been doing her share of promotion, now she should step it up a notch and appear on some major talk shows.

Edward (41,385) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom I've heard from a few people who are non lambs that they really like it. I hear the words "classic Mariah" a lot, which is a good thing I think. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 15:06)

Single choice (41,384) by Tony from Ireland I have to be honest. I like You're Mine better than Beautiful. I think there's need to bring the song to the attention of mainstream public if Mariah wants to have another hit. But for me, since long time ago, it doesn't matter. I have the feeling that she is making wathever music is making her happy, and I'm more than deligted about it. She is putting music out mostly for the fans. As long as she is bringing more music to my life, I would be the happiest man on the planet. Of course it would be nice to see her back to the top, but why worriy if she don't go back straight to #1 anymore? There's a lot of bad music out there and we get to see week after week how they top the charts. I've just been listening to Toni Braxton and Babyface's new album. Really good one, really bad performance. People don't care anymore about quality, not as they should. I ratter spend my money on timeless classics than on any other new artist. Mariah rocks and she will forever. She is alredy a legend. Sure, she has better singles on that album. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 13:59)

Radio release? No (41,382) by Orkun from The Netherlands I honestly think that Mariah's management will not promote in to the radio at the given date. They said that because they want to see if the song is loved by the public or not. That's why they gave it some time. If it doesn't do well, they won't invest in the song. If it does well, they will. My guess is that they lie about waiting for the song to pick up by itself and then sending it to the radio. If it's up to them, they will send the song to the radio regardless. I don't believe them. To sum it up, the song flopped. And no radio will follow. I expect either a delay of the album or a new single very soon. I don't hate the song but come on. Except it's intro, it's marshmallow music. Ego is her worst enemy and it's getting worse. She disses Walter A. and JD, Ariana, etc. Who's next? She has the talent but not the motivation anymore. Will she ever get it again before it's too late? Once again, the radio picking it up next week? Hell no. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 13:00)

You're Mine (41,381) by Lainsky from Philippines This is a Mariah signatue song and whatever other people say and whether it becomes a hit or not or No.1 or not, I still damn like it very much. IMO this is much better than Beautiful and TAOLG and close to WBT, so let's hope and pray that this song will be her 19th and the album will become her 7th No.1. Come on guys, this is a very nice song in this time of her career and in this time where trashy songs are all over the place. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 12:24)

You're Mine promotion (41,380) by Stephen from London, United Kingdom I've seen a few people say Mariah should be doing this or that to promote the song, but to be fair to her, she has been promoting it non stop since its release. I have been critical of Mariah in recent years for not making enough effort with promotion, but at the moment I do not think that she can be criticized. IMO, she has worked very hard. The only part where I would say there is room for improvement, is with mainstream media. If she actually appeared on The View, as planned, or Ellen, then that would have allowed her to share the song with the masses, but instead she seems to be focusing a lot on BET and radio, which is good, because she is concentrating on core rnb markets. However, I think she or her people should make better choices regarding where she promotes. A Wendy Williams appearance would be mega publicity for her. She should do it lol.

Nikki (41,379) by Darryle from USA So you said that like in the story a mermaid turns into seafoam and dies. So in the video when you see Mariah as a mermaid and not glittery that's the part of the story where the mermaid isn't dying and when Mariah get's glittery and there is glitter on the bed that's the part where the mermaid would turn into seafoam. Correct me if I'm wrong. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 11:34)

Poor sales (41,378) by Hana from UK No surprise as to why it isn't charting well. It's lyrically cliched, the structure is dated, imo it belongs in a 2005 slow jam collection. Sorry, not sorry. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 10:40)

Jeremey Carey / charts / iTunes (41,377) by Edward from USA Jeremey Carey, I agree with you about the charts, it has just been two days, and "You're Mine (Eternal)" hasn't been officially released to radio yet, it will be on the 18th. I hope they use the Clear Channel stations again to exposed the single so other radio station pick it up, and people start requesting and buying. The single has sold what it has so far based on Mariah's promotion and anticipation. Once the single impacts radio in a broader sense, people are going to start buying it, hopefully. I play "You're Mine (Eternal)" to a non fan, and she told me it reminded her of Daydream, and she thought it was a decent track, so I have a good feeling about this one. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 10:33)

Nikki (41,376) by Darryle from USA If that's what Mariah was going for then wow, that totally makes me look at the video in a completely different way. Thanks for pointing that out. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 10:01)

Danny / Thirsty (41,375) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes Mariah mentioned in one of her radio interviews that she has a new song called Thirsty and she also mentioned the producer, I forgot the name though. I think she talked about it when people the interviewers were talking about Beyonce's Drunk In Love. What's funny is that when I heard her mention the name of the song, I also immediately thought about Migrate. Hopefully it will be an upbeat song like Migrate or maybe sultry like Drunk In Love. Another name that came to mind when she mentioned Thirsty was the song Crave that someone posted here months back and said it was for the Butterfly album but wasn't included as it was considered too sexual.

Nikki (41,374) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Please don't go around assuming that you are the only one who cracked the similarities between YME video and the original Little Mermaid and then call people dense and shallow. The fact that Mariah drew the ideas from the story is quite apparent. The whole costume discussion comes up because we all know Mariah isn't exactly known for her dancing skills and if she would have used an alternative way to hide her breasts at least she could move around the rainforest or at the very least move her hands more freely. The fact that the shots were beautiful and MC looking gorgeous isn't lost on anyone. If M as a little mermaid could find a piece of material to wear as a skirt, she could find one to cover her chest. You made your point, explaining something that probably some people didn't know, that's fine, but don't feel too free to call people out on their intelligence. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 8:16)

YM video / Nikki (41,373) by Mara from United States Nikki that is an excellent interpretation of the video and I think you are on to something. I can totally see what you are saying. I think the video is visually beautiful. Yeah M is holding herself the entire time, but I have to say I think it is much classier and artistic (those water scenes) than beautiful. When Beautiful came out I think we all were wishing for a 50's back and forth with Mariah and Miguel. That was my wish for a video, with more of a storyline. But YM is very dark and has a mysterious feel to it, part of it reminded me of my favourite Butterfly. Is it a vanity video? Partly yes, but I think it is more fitting in this one. Anyone know why there was no banner advertising YM on iTunes? Is this IDJ not putting up the funds? Think of the downloads she would have had if there was a banner up there during the Valentine's weekend. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 4:16)

Nikki and Giselle (41,372) by Licia from USA I would not have gotten none of that. I only know one little mermaid. Lmao. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 3:25)

Charts (41,371) by Jeremey Carey from United States We can't worry about the charts until after the song is fully released to radio, and the BET performance and more performances, then they take streaming into count and we're almost at a million views. Keep streaming lambs. I'm more than confident that this song will impact radios well. (Everyone request your local stations.) I remember all the bad things that were said about Beautiful and it went to 15. It was the perfect way to start the party. You're Mine is a perfect ballad at this time of the year. And after this goes top 20 (hopefully #1 lol) the next uptempo release will definitely ice the cake. (Thirsty maybe?) Please lambs, even if you don't like the song please support it to the best of your ability. Mariah needs us now more than ever. Please vote for the remix video for 106&Park. Reaching younger audiences is essential. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 2:44)

Thirsty (41,370) by Justin from USA - Los Angeles Sounds like a sexual song. Or she is just talking about herself. Jk. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 2:29)

Charts (41,369) by Darryle from USA 98 now. Come on Mariah, you've got to promote it more like soon. The lambs can only buy so many copies. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 2:01)

Nikki (41,367) by Ms. Giselle from USA When I read your post all I could do was laugh lol. I didn't even realize that and now I get it but. Had Mariah and Trey scenes were together and they interacted together, I think we all would have gotten that. All we see is Mariah sitting in one spot hands over her breast. They should of shot scenes together. I know Trey couldn't go to P.R., but I wish they shot some scenes where how they meet and fell in love. Where Mariah got her "legs" and he left her and she poofs into gold dust lol. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 1:42)

No creativity is dense fans (41,366) by nikki from usa I finally got Mariah as a Little Mermaid. I've been waiting for MC to be in a music video as a mermaid. Now, for those of you who are unaware of the original story before Disney came around: a mermaid fell in love with a boy and traded her fins to be with him. In the end, he didn't want her, she was heartbroken naturally, but this came at a price. She lost her life and turned into sea foam. In this music video, instead of foam, Mariah turns to gold glitter. You can see it starts off subtle on her and gains toward the end. At the last scene, you see him tossing and turning in bed, the sheets are covered in gold glitter. If ever there was proof that Mariah has a lot of intelligence, creativity, and an understanding of symbolism this is it. It also goes to show how very shallow people can be who are so obsessed with what she is or isn't wearing that they completely miss the point and subject matter altogether.

#97 on iTunes (41,365) by Blake from USA Not looking to chart well. (Sunday 16 February 2014; 0:32)

Thirsty (41,364) by Danny Braden from Uk Did Mariah mention she has a track on the new album called Thirsty? I hope so, it sounds so fresh. I imagine it's like Migrate. (Saturday 15 February 2014; 23:44)

You're Mine remix with Trey (41,363) by Ms. Giselle from USA The record label should really push this version. I love this one better in my opinion. Maybe it's because I'm single now and I've wanted/liked Trey, but when he sings "stop that part"' mmm so sexy. He brought the sexiness to the record. I want to buy the video now. Lol. Just for Trey.
