Yes, And? (105,489) by Jono from USA It's good to hear Mariah back on a house track. I'm not loving the sound mixing in this remix, it made it too obvious that Mariah's vocals were copy and pasted onto the song. It doesn't even sound like they were in the same room. "When You Believe" was recorded separately, yet they blended seamlessly. Idk, I'm not 100% on this remix, but it does make me anticipate new music from Mariah. (Friday 16 February 2024; 18:04)

New short clip (105,488) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter MCXAR shared this little video to promote the single. They look super cute together. No one can tell me Mariah isn't genuinely affectionate towards Ariana after seeing this. Not to mention MC thanked Ari for having her on the remix. Such a gracious queen.

Yes, and more please (105,487) by T from USA I love it. MC brings us back to the house mixes for the nostalgia. It's nice to hear her on a proper uptempo song. Her and Max Martin are a match made in heaven. So fresh but yet so classic sounding. Here voice is sounds great, and the overall vibe of the song is amazing. Hopefully we all do our part and stream this song, buy it and dare I say request it on radio. Get the word out that MC is back baby. (Friday 16 February 2024; 15:15)

Time of release UK (105,486) by Bobby A from United States Right. Towards the end of the remix I got a huge feeling that I was hearing her singing one of her Morales remixes. Why did Max Martin lower her adlibs so low during the bridge? I can hardly make out what she is saying along with Ariana's soft vocals.

Time of release UK (105,481) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter First of all I nearly passed out when Mariah sang on the part where the lyrics are "why do you care whose D I ride" lmao. I think she definitely adds to the songs contrasting Ariana's breathy vocals, with her chesty vocals, she really is saying it with her chest. Also her whistle intro is so powerful and strong. But yes on first listen am I blown away? No unfortunately probably because I wasn't instantly taken by the original either haha but I think it'll take a few listens. Mariah's singing reminded me of her Morales remixes. I hope to see some great promo for this I know Ariana's team will do that but Mariah's team also needs to be proactive and not reactive. We should keep supporting because this could be the easiest way to get a top 10. Side not, is it just me or does Mariah's verse doesn't make much sense to my, like the lyrics? First time it ever happened to me on a Mariah song haha. Or maybe I'm just not understanding how it fits? (Friday 16 February 2024; 13:56)

New photos (105,485) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Did y'all see these new photos? Mariah looks stunning. Especially the second one where she's looking straight at the camera. (Friday 16 February 2024; 15:03)

Time of release UK (105,484) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahah, I don't know, I'm honestly baffled, because I'm like what does this even mean? It sounds good, but I never had trouble understanding what she's meaning to say haha. But honestly, I'm glad Mariah went full voice instead of whispering with Ariana, because it gives a good contrast. I really hope they have a MV ready. I think Taylor is about to announce her first single, ugh, can she stop for a bit to let others shine haha? And Beyoncé is holding strong with Texas Hold 'Em. So it's gonna be a tough battle.

Time of release UK (105,482) by Carlos from Brazil Are the lyrics about Tanaka? Maybe? Lol. (Friday 16 February 2024; 14:38)

Time of release UK (105,483) by Bobby A from United States Right. I thought it was shade towards Tanaka too using hypocrisy in her verse. However, it wouldn't be a Mariah song if she didn't teach her audience some vocabulary words. (Friday 16 February 2024; 14:54) this is a reply to message 105,482

Time of release UK (105,468) by TJ from Norway What do you think of the remix? (Friday 16 February 2024; 08:56)

Yes? And remix (105,480) by Tevin from USA They have a clean version on Spotify. (Friday 16 February 2024; 13:22) this is a reply to message 105,465

Yes? And remix (105,465) by Stacey from USA I really like the song. MC's vocals add a lot to the song. But ugh, the cuss words are so not my thing. They just aren't. They ruin a song. I guess I'll hope for an Amazon music clean version. (Friday 16 February 2024; 07:48)

Yes, And? (105,479) by Jamie from UK I agree. I'm not hearing auto tune at all. I think she sounds more youthful and energised. (Friday 16 February 2024; 12:55) this is a reply to message 105,473

Yes, And? (105,473) by Bobby A from United States I really don't hear autotune being used. It is just her true alto voice shining through. If you noticed on the "baby you" lyric her alto tone shines through. During the Charmbracelet era she would have given us a breathy tone on that lyric. Her voice has just changed so much that she has lost an octave or two making her alto range shine through more. (Friday 16 February 2024; 11:56)

Yes, And? (105,478) by MusicfanJ from Germany I had to think of Madonna too. Lol. House and a little En Vogue vibe. Yes, who would have thought? I think the teens will like the remix. I don't feel this song. Maybe mostly because I don't like the music from Ariana in general. I also don't need the f. in lyrics. Luckily I have the MB 30 where the lyrics are wonderful. Plus the remix of "Working hard" which is a hundred times better than this. Just my humble opinion. (Friday 16 February 2024; 12:49) this is a reply to message 105,466

Yes, And? (105,466) by Lee from UK I don't hate the remix but there are three things that surprise me. The first is that this song sounds very much like a Madonna song and I never in a million years thought Mariah would go there. Secondly, why did Mariah not try and blend in with Ariana's vocals (in the same way Brandy did on The Roof), it would have been more pleasing to the ear. Mariah's shouty adlibs could have been better executed and more melodic. Finally, Mariah needs to lay off the auto tune, it's not even subtle. This remix feels rushed and I would be even more surprised if it reached #1. (Friday 16 February 2024; 08:43)

Yes, And? remix (105,477) by Terna from Nigeria At first [listen], it's more "umph" than the original and it's been rewritten by Carey of course (I [love] her verse), I'm not excited about the song because it's not melodic enough and honestly, an uptempo isn't what I look forward to hearing from these two very talented ladies, an intentional ballad where they let loose with a flurry of high notes, harmonies and layered vocals for days, just a [euphoric] experience is more in line with what I want, expect and I'm on the look out for (fingers crossed). This remix however is gonna do what it's meant to do - breathe new life in this song. (Friday 16 February 2024; 12:44)

Remix (105,469) by Tameka walker from United states How do you guys like it? (Friday 16 February 2024; 09:00)

Yes, and? (105,475) by Dennis from Miami, FL I don't know yet. I really hoped for a reworked version, with different arrangements. At least Mariah is finally on Max Martin's track. I like the original "yes, and?". Especially the video with the dance routine, though for me the production is missing something. It has great potential but is rather "undercooked" still.

Yes, and? (105,474) by Carlos from Brazil I am gonna play it until my battery runs off and I really like the song but I believe people are divided. Twitter stans are hating. I personally love uptempo vogue dancey tracks so that's why I liked it so much but I think the general public is finally realizing that Mariah's voice has changed. Ariana is like the fourth most listened singer on Spotify so that will bring a lot of attention to Mariah and her voice. I am curious about what you guys think. (Friday 16 February 2024; 12:02)

Yes, and? (105,472) by Shezz from Pk I do too. But that's only because I really love AI MC Selfish. I don't mind the remix, wasn't too blown away. I don't think she added as much to it as she did to the Big Energy remix. Also, I agree with what somebody said - some adlibs just don't sound too pleasant. Of course I'm still playing it.

Yes And? remix (105,471) by Jamie from UK I love it, it's great to hear Mariah singing in an upbeat way and not just mid tempo. (Friday 16 February 2024; 10:46) this is a reply to message 105,463

Yes And? remix (105,463) by Bobby A from United States I have to say the remix is everthing and well worth the wait. Their vocals and whistle notes are crazy. MC sounds so good. Her adlibs are MC for sure. Their harmonizing is subperb. It will be #1 next week. MC's 20th #1 is next week. Who is the male voice during the intro? He sounds familiar. Bye.
