That song is garbage! Lame,hip-hop inpired R&B bullshit.Mariah is just wasting her amazing talent on crap like this.Let the non-singing "wannabees" like Britney and J-Lo do this type of crap.A real singer like Mariah should be doing real songs,with real melodies and hooks.

She can't sing anymore. The Voice is gone. So these songs are appropriate for her now.

Although her voice has changed, u can hardly say she can't sing? VC I just realised u were a big Janet fan, u seem to be really critica of Mariah vocally, do u thinkJanet can sing? just curious?

I wanted to like this song but I don’t. Any song that drops the word ‘Bacardi’ in it loses 10 points from the beginning.

Hey, I used to LOVE Mariah, but now she's crap, vocally. Whisper whisper whisper whisper whisper whisper. I just watched Fantasy: Live At Madison Square Garden again last night and she blew me away, but she CAN'T sing like that anymore. I don't know what killed her voice (probably all the meds she's on), but it's sad.

And what happened to the really good songs she used to write? They haven't made an appearance since Butterfly, with the exception of "Clown". The lyrics here are atrocious.

P.S. This ain't about Janet.

co-sign! Her voice is so gone I almost feel like she should say something about it. Acknowledge that some damage was done or she had a medical condition and we're not all crazy in the ear. It's quite a disappointment as I can barely stomach the whispering anymore especially when it's a mediocre song to begin with. Every once in awhile I'll here a bit of the old Mariah in her new stuff and I miss it so.

this isn't a link you know

I like Mariah best when shes not tryin to be hardcore tough girl

I havent heard it yet, but thank you. Downloading it now. I will refuse to accept this album to be full of Hip-Hop tinged R&B cuts featuring rappers in it everywhere. I REFUSE. I pray to God that she grows up please Mariah PLEEEEASE!!!

Im prayin with ya!

A discussion about Mariah and the word regression comes to mind. She was such an excellent writer when she was in her early twenties and now she is singing about hot tamales?

I was HUGE on Mariah when I was younger but have given up on her completely, which kinda hurts because I was hoping she would get her head on straight. Let's face it, she has dwindled into the point of no return.

1. Download the song

Mariah, I don't know about you anymore. Seriously I tried to get in2 it...I just cant. Its another step BACKWARDS. It is so embarrassing for a fan like me to love her when all the young cats who havent grown up with Mariah from day 1 will just step on her new song. Its not gonna work girl! Give it up!!

I sat in the chair after the song was over, shaking my head and just in silence. A very sad moment for me. I will buy her albums still and all, but I will not be plentiful about buying it. I'd rather hear Ashanti's "Only U" or "Lovers & Friends" by Usher & Lil John. Got dammit why is she torturing us?


DONT SHE KNOW HER FANS FORM THE START ARE GROOOWWWNN? Most of her original fans have to be in their mid-twenties goin on 30 now.

I thought that cut with Nelly was pretty good, it's better than this.

I don't know about her voice being completely damaged. She tears it up towards the end of the song and sounds pretty good. Which actually makes this song even sadder to listen to

I gotta lay some of the blame on the record company too though. You know how they are.

I would rather stick Q tips in my ears too far and pluck my eyelashes with my tweezers.... That chick is the one entertainer in this world (if you can call her that) that annoys and irritates the ever loving crap out of me!

You can blame LA Reid,I believe he is the executive producer of Mariah's album.She should have been afraid to work with him after the horrible job he did with Whitney Houston's last album.

LA Reaid isn't over Def Jam anymore Sean Carter is we might get a blessing after all

I disowned that girl when she did a version of The Beautiful Ones with Sisqo, Dru Hill. The Nerve!
