It sure does. And "we belong together" reminds me of "You are my everything" by Tracie Spencer, i think that's who sings it.

I don't hear a whole lot of similarity between the two. Then again, I'm not overly fond of either song. I skip them both on their respective albums. lol

Mariah songs all sound like each other too. We Belong Together sounds like Shake It Off which sounds like the third single from her album.

sadly,alot of today's R&B songs all sound the same.They all have that same midtempo beat,and the subject matter is either...A) I love you,B) Please come back to me,or C) let's make love tonight


lol

that's okay though...Mariah, in tribute to her NYC girl roots, has copped off of Mary a few times in the past. On the Rainbow cd, at the end of the song "CRYBABY", Mariah does some KILLER jazz riffs that just have Mary J. Blige plastered ALLLL over it wink . When I first heard her do that, that's when I realized that these women really are peers...from the same generation and whatnot...so it doesn't seem that odd to me that occaionally they might break down and "have stuff musically in common" with each other lol

"Don't Forget About Us" is basically just "We Belong Together Part 2".Also,most of her albums are interchangeable.I still like her,though lol

When one of those songs start, I never know which one it is. Both kick major ass though, my preference being Don't Forget about us. That's a repeat song.
