Good for Mariah. Someone talented at the top of the billboard charts for once in a blue moon. Let's hope she gets to #1.

Hollaback Girl is a fucking joke and made it to #1. It's not even a song, it's just a whole bunch of fucked up bullshit chewed and spat out by Gwen.

"We Belong Together" jumps four spots to No. 3 in its 6th week on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart (Issue Date: May 21, 2005).

On the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart, "We Belong Together" jumps from No. 6 to No. 2 with a 26.6 million increase in audience and 2,678 spin increase. Total Audience: 105,362,000. This makes "We Belong Together" the Greatest Gainer / Airplay this week (2nd time in 3 weeks!)

Mariah's last single that reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart was "Always Be My Baby" in 1996.

The two songs ahead of "We Belong Together" are:
1. Hollaback Girl, Gwen Stefani (#1 on Hot Digital Songs)
2. Oh, Ciara Featuring Ludacris (#1 on Hot 100 Airplay)

"It's Like That" falls 12 places to to No. 45 in its 16th week on the Billboard Hot 100.

Movement: 81-61-30-12-7-3-?

Finally some fucking actual music reaching the upper echelons of the chart. As opposed to THIS SHIT IS BANANAS, B-A-N-A-N-A-ANAS nuts

So in your logic, I take it this track falls in the pantheon of "plain awful" since it's becoming such a big hit.

Well I love "We Belong Together" and it "belongs" at number 1, which I hope happens soon. I like "Hollaback Girl" too. It's just a fun mindless pop song that makes me dance. I'll take that to most of the shit that's been at #1 for the last year.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

*cough cough* Don't get catty, JANFAN, and reread my original quote:


"Most of the stuff that goes to #1 these days is just plain awful."

See how that one lil' word can make all the difference?

Stop claiming mariah can sing. When has that ever made u like a POP song. Soul this is not u know.

Besides, mariah has a tendancy to show off her "soul" by wailing and doing her stupid vocal tricks to display "emotion". Thank god janet never did that.

I hate vocal gymnastics. That does not = emotion or anything other then having making urself look good. Alica keys does it too. It is annoying and infact can ruin songs by adding unintentional humour.

-----
Vocal gymnastics are a part of RnB music. It really goes back to gospel. I think you don't enjoy RnB music.


Mariah goes overboard sometimes. I dont mind people like luther or chris williams holding notes for ten seconds. But going up and down like some fake operas singer sucks. Not many annoy me with this. But opera singers they are not.

Dude, U R really tripping but I respect your opinion...I guess. But do U read your post before U hit the send key?...sometimes U sound like a young dude and then sometimes U sound like an older, mature music buff. But that comment about Mariah is mindbolging 2 me.

Oooooh... I knew you were gonna justify it with the "MOST" line.

Don't see how it makes much of a difference with Mariah, but ah well.

"Hollaback" deserved its #1*! razz

It's this pesky little thing called vocal control or skill.
For vocalists that can actually sing, it's just the bane of their existence.

We all have our own crosses to bear. disbelief

Just out of curiosity, why don't you mind "luther or chris williams holding notes for ten seconds."?

God, I hate that song so much. What the fuck is she yelling about?


She hasnt done anything Whitney hasnt done on that record. I bet if SHE recorded it ya'll hatin people would sing a different tune.

Verse 2:

I can't sleep at night
Your all on my mind
Bobby Womaks on the radio saying to me
"if you think you're lonely now..."
Wait a minute this is too deep
Try 2 change the station so I
Turn the dial tryinna catch a break
And then i hear Babyface
"I only think of u.."
Breakin my heart
Trying to keep it 2gether
But i'm fallin apart
I'm going all out of my element
Crying trying figure out where I went wrong
the pain reflected in this song
Aint even half of what Im feeling inside
I need u babk in my life baby

When u left I lost a part of me
It's been so hard 2 believe
Come babk baby please cuz we belong together
Who else im gonna lean on when times get rough
Who's gonna talk 2 me on the phone till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
There aint nobody better
Oh baby baby we belong together



it's not science u guys. It's a great song with no high vocals or the screeching whisper u guys always hate on about.

I think people whom dont enjoy R&B music or go to clubs or do not even know how to dance hate the song.

I found it mindboggoling at work how the only people that didnt like my music I played were people who didnt know, dont go to clubs and basically listen to hard rock. lol

I know when i be in the club and all of a sudden "Attention..it's time 2 dance..." or "uh huh this my shit" comes on All hell break loose.

Come on PP4. I'm not hating on anyone that likes this song. Opinions are subjective. Whitney's ass does a lot of yelling on songs, too.
