Re: Mariah Carey has a new single out

I wish this were real! HAHA

Anyway, I LOVE "Almost Home." It gets stuck in my head all the time. I'm really looking forward to the new album. Mariah's still got it!

Been listening to this all morning:

Good times!

^That whistle register!!

Mariah's new single will be released May 6th. It's called "Beautiful" and feature Miguel.

 

[sammyyummy]

So my friend sent me the new single, Beautiful.
It's easy breezy catchy which isnt so bad, but it isnt so good as well.
It sounded more like Miguel featuring Mimi my friend kept on saying.
My thoughts were: at this time and based on her numerous press release teasers, I really thought Mariah would come up with something musically daring and inspired, while again, i found myself humming to it and no matter whether you like it or not, it seems Mariah is really riding Miguel's tailcoats here and running after trends to score a hit.

Let me know if anyone wants a copy, id be wiling to upload.

 

[MrMojoRisin]

Can we please take some time to appreciate Shep Pettibone's incredible remixes from her first album? He was simply amazing and these versions always blow me away!!

She reminds me of Donatella Versace for some reason.

Mariah Carey Feat. Miguel - #Beautiful

 

[BreakTheIce]

^I wish that song lasted longer. I really like it. Simple lyrics but beautiful (pa-dum-dish) concept.

Apparently, #Beautiful has surpassed Lady Gaga's record for biggest first day ever on US radio (for 'Born This Way'). I hope this song does well.

Mariah Carey Feat. Miguel - #Beautiful

"Beautiful" is utter shit, I'm so disappointed. Hopefully it will grow on me.

You've proven time and time your tastes are not valid.

I haven't liked a MC song in a very long time. Another case of great singer with sub par material. I love the retro soul vibe here. If the rest of the new album continues in that direction I just may have to give it a listen once it's released this summer.

What, people can't have an opinion anymore?

If he doesn't like it what's the big deal?

You are not valid for this thread

Here's the video to Mariah Carey's great new single #Beautiful ft. Miguel

 

[BreakTheIce]

I guess Mariah really wants us to know she's in shape o.o

The video isn't awful but not great either (in my opinion). I still like this song though. Miguel looks cute in that video. I wish he'd lose the shades though.

 

[sammyyummy]

hmmm.
I find it a little weird how with Triumphant (which I hated) it was like Rap guys ft. Mariah
and then with #Beautiful...even though its a duet...you wouldnt even know its a Mariah song until like halfway through the song. I always thought that with duets, each singer would have their verses/lyrics more intertwined.

Same thoughts in my earlier post. Thought the song's sparkle came solely from Miguel's amazing RNB vocals and his musical touch.
Thought MC really desperately is gunning for a hit after several less stellar outings

Mariah, now that Whitney is dead, you have the opportunity to be The Diva. What the fuck is wrong with you, girl?

MC replaced WH as "The Diva" years ago. She in turn was replaced by Beyonce. WH and has been dead since last century.

AI has never/will ever produce a singer as big as MC. Considering she received 5 minutes and 12 seconds of screen time on one of America's highest show I don't think that was "rushed".

^pre-taped, pre-recorded vocals =/= live.

k thx.

^needs to stop wearing dresses 3 sizes too small. Same problem heading to Christina Aguilera soon (though she's been dressing quite nicely as of late).

 

[Gemini_Valley]

I didn't catch MC on GMA but watched some of the "highlights" and thought it was hilarious. I would watch a reality show starring her any day. I loved that she sang "Always Be My Baby" that's one of my top favorite songs from her.

I still play E=MC2 and a few tracks off Memoirs. I didn't care for these last 2 releases. I thought this was her big comeback but you can't comeback if you bringing other muthafuckas with you, not disrespect to the guest, their fine in their own way, but MC needs to this alone and with better material and bitch put some clothes on!! You don't have to show your body, you have the voice, you are trying hard but you can't compete with Bey and you won't win and you shouldn't try to, you have nothing to prove. There is room for everybody, call up buck teeth JD and get back in the studio.

Been getting into Mariah again lately . I only have her 'The Ballads' album besides a few random song DLs. I need to get more from her. I remember TEOM fondly (haven't heard it entirely for years, still remember each song ), but besides that she was hit-and-miss after the 90s for me.

I also think if you look at the two singers at her best, Mariah > Whitney. In my humblest of opinions, the only thing Whitney did better was power. Mariah I feel had more subtlety and more sides to her voice . And that's not even thinking of whistle register .
