I don't? More like "I can't" (71,998) by Lee from UK I'm not a fan of this song and will not be purchasing/streaming it. What happened to Mariah's songwriting skills? This sounds like it was over-produced by an amateur and the lyrics are shit. I've seen the video clips and I'm over it already. I'm over Mariah "being sexy". I'm over Mariah in leotards. This era needs to end abruptly and quickly. I never thought I'd say this but I do not want to hear another new Mariah song for at least 3 or 4 more years. She needs to go back to basics.

Re: Re: Full song (71,971) (71,976) (71,997) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha if you want Mariah's videos to represent the lyrics, all of them have to be as follows: "Touch my body, check out my legs, Let me swirl my hip and make a sexy face, Touch my body, are my clothes not tight? Hold on let me rip my top and get it right. Touch my body, behold my fancy blings And don't you forget the butterfly ring." Haha Ok, I'll stop but I might develop that into a full song soon. (Eric I know you usually like to keep the posts in a paragraph but when you post this can you keep the "lyrics" in this format and not turn it into one para this one time please? Thanks.)

YG representing Jimmy Pack (71,996) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok so please tell me you all also heard YG say something like "give me my ring back, never mind you can keep that" haha, YG representing Jimmy Pack right there. I couldn't understand most of what he said except for "I'll make you love me, but you don't trust me". So I need the full lyrics to see if this is a "him versus her" situation. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 18:56)

Ok on second thought (71,995) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I listened to the song 4 times back to back after I got home just now, I'll admit the song is not as bad as I thought it was on first listen. The lyrics are still a little meh but I can live with that for now. I can't seem to get into the "boy I was bugging, thinking somehow I could trust you, I used to love, but I don't" part. The verses are nice though and flows well. I like the second verse more. The "when you love someone, you just don't treat them bad" has been stuck in my head since I heard it, and it sounds even better in the full version, it's the best part of the song. Another minor observation, the "love someone" ad lib over the chorus around the 3.28 mark kinda bothers me haha, it's like she attempted to ad lib then decided not to, but it's not a big deal. The song at least sounds complete and not like it stopped suddenly, which was a problem with some of her recent songs. So I'll say overall this is an improvement from her last efforts. Haha I think I spoke too fast when I said I liked "Infamous" better, but I think I said that because I liked the first verse of "Infamous" more than I like the first verse of "I Don't", however the chorus of "I Don't" is catchier and more radio friendly than "Infamous".

I Don't (71,993) by Mike from FL, USA I must say I actually like it. The chorus, although a little dated, is pretty catchy. I don't (pardon the pun) know if it's necessarily a hit, but I quite enjoy it. Def miles better than Infinity and Infamous. Infinity never did anything for me at all. I can't get the chorus of this one out of my head now. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 18:34)

Don't please don't (71,992) by THE TRUTH from USA Can't you just see Stella saying to her, "Just write something that goes along with our storyline, they'll buy it hook line and sinker. Everyone will feel sorry for you, we'll get a new season on E and another number 1 hit. You're so fabulous, here have another splash." (Thursday 2 February 2017; 18:32)

Re: Full song (71,983) (71,991) by May from Denmark After listening to the full song I kinda like it. I don't hate it but I don't love it. It's the type of song that it would work nicely as a filler in an album, not as a single. It's obvious her voice is gone again, it doesn't sound awful but it sounds dried and limited, the ending is sort of repetitive after YG's part and it might likely be because Mariah, who is used to big climax stuff, has no more oil in the machine. The song overall is pretty, good like Infamous and the rapper sounds much nicer than Yussi and his autotune. It is definitely a step up from Lousinity. When is Mariah going to sing verses that aren't rushed and hard to understand? Sometimes it feels she is chewing hay. I won't be buying it but I will support her artistry with some spins or views, I think she tried but not hard enough. To add as conclusion, the song is a mix of weird tempos and dated RnB, I think YG sounded good but is more of the same, she could have done with less layering of her voice as for some reason it sounds so amateurish, like I could have done all that layer in a cheap software with little to no experience. At least there's no massive autotune. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 18:08)

She "don't" and I "don't" either (71,990) by Edward from USA In my opinion, it's definitely better than Infamous, but I'm not impressed at all. If they promote it right, it might actually chart on the R&B charts. At least it is a song she could actually perform live without having to lipsynch. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 17:45)

Re: Full song (71,980) (71,989) by Sheila from United States It's ok, better than Infinity, Infamous and Triumphant. It's ok. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 17:36)

Re: Full song listen (71,986) (71,988) by MusicfanJ from Germany Hmm I have to listen to it a few more times. Some parts are nice, but it sounds more like a song on a remix cd or a bonus track. And nothing against YG but I'm so tired of the rappers. I prefer the man who is singing in the background/sample. Definitely "I don't" like the pics/shots for the song. Is it so hard to dress like the superstar she is and not like a youngster wannabe? (Thursday 2 February 2017; 17:34)

Re: Full song listen (71,986) (71,987) by Gigi from USA YG is the worst part of the song IMO. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 17:20)

Re: Full song listen (71,982) (71,986) by Lila from United States Five? Yikes. Ears, I'm going to have mercy on you and accept that, after two listens, we've heard more than enough of this song for a lifetime lol. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 17:12)

Re: Full song (71,971) (71,985) by Dennis from Underneath the Stars I don't live JD's rhythms. He is not evolving. Song is not a masterpiece. But it isn't awful neither. It sounds like an Usher record. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 17:03)

Better than Infamous but don't love it (71,984) by Anonymous from Pleasantly surprised, can't see myself playing it on repeat but I do already want to hear it again. I think the production is slightly strange, it's clearly an old skool R'n'B attempt, more of a b-side single in my opinion but way better than Infamous. Thanks for sharing Mimi, you never fail us with your exclusives. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 17:02)

Re: Full song (71,980) (71,983) by Licia from USA It wouldn't make sense to do a remix with another rapper. She could take it back like in the old days and resing and have him write his own verses. That would be epic. Hey Stella write this down. Lol I agree the song kind of fits the divorce situation more than the broken engagement. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 16:51)

Re: Full song listen (71,977) (71,982) by Licia from USA Loving Donell's song might be why I've taken a liking to the chorus. The verses just don't do anything for me. It's a step up from Crapfinity, but it's at the level of Infamous. It's not bad, but it's not great either. May grow on me once I listen a few more times. I had to listen to Crapfinity 5 times before I gave up and hated it. Lol. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 16:46)

I Don't (71,981) by Billy from England, UK Well just listened to the full song and it's not my style. I find it very boring, don't like the sound of her voice or the music, it sounds rushed and no effort put in. Disapointed again, goes and listens to For The Record. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 16:44)

Re: Full song (71,975) (71,980) by RibbonB from USA That is a good idea with Donnell Jones in a he said, she said. It definitely doesn't apply to that broken engagement, more like broken marriage, but that is just me I guess. The timing of her reality show and record releases can't keep pace with her life changes. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 16:25)

Re: Full song (71,971) (71,979) by Luke from United Kingdom Thanks for posting that. I actually really like the song as a whole and I like that she didn't really do her usual over the top climax. Compared to Infamous I like YG than I do Jussie. I'm not too sure on this video she has planned though lol I hope there's some sort of storyline to go along with it, one which doesn't involve Brienne Tanaka of House Thirsty. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 16:21)

Re: I Don't longer tease (71,950) (71,978) by RibbonB from USA Mimi didn't invest a lot in this video. Just lingerie, and various other props in her rented home. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 16:14)

Full song listen (71,977) by Lila from United States Now that I've heard the full song I can officially say that I hate it. It sounds horrible to me. Her voice doesn't sound good and the song feels like all the elements of it are clashing. The only good part is her singing Donnell Jones "when you love someone, you don't treat them bad" but it's like a karaoke moment for me because whether M sings it, I sing it, or anyone else, I'm immediately taken in because I'm really just thrown back to Donnell Jones singing the part. The video teasers look awful also. It's a no for me. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 16:10)

Re: Full song (71,971) (71,976) by RibbonB from USA Yikes "Triumphamousinity" is better than this song. Have you figured out what either of them is saying? The video clips don't seem to have any bearing on the lyrics that I can hear. Wow. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 16:09)

Re: Full song (71,971) (71,975) by Licia from USA I need to listen again. I definitely don't like the verses. I love the chorus. As a fan of most of her hip hop collaborations I could have done without YG. Mariah go ahead and replace YG with Donell for a remix. Make it into a him versus her remix. I can't see a remix being any other way. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 16:03)

Re: Ribbon (71,960) (71,974) by RibbonB from USA May, Mimi needs some down time, some time for inner work. Clean house, close circus, enjoy the fruits of her labor and raise her beautiful Roc and Roe. This constant media mess is not a good thing. I hope she doesn't have to crash to get what she seems to need. IMO of course. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 16:02)

Re: Ribbon (71,960) (71,973) by Lila from United States The glass is always half empty for her, which is why she'll never be able to find long term happiness. (Thursday 2 February 2017; 15:59)
