everytime i hear mary J. bellowing about "can't be without u baaabaaaay" i always think of 'we belong together" i don't know if its only me but i think this song is totaly a rip off of mariah's

don't all songs sound the same now

whether you think the two sound the same or not, one thing is definitely for sure, they can't sing the damn songs right live.... and thats the truth...

thats true

You may have a case, but then again, maybe you do not.

Maybe it's the tempo, light piano, loud-ass machine clap...


OK IT REMINDS ME OF THE MARIAH SONG EVERY TIME I HEAR IT TOO.

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. cinnie is so discreet

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

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 . 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

"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

oh..i thought u all were talking bout the pat benitar track.

Yup, it's just You. LOL

Now if U said We Belong Together sounds like [b]Don't Forget Us [/b]- U have a point.

yup..the similar instrumentation, claps, piano based sing along style. Its meant to be her We Belong Together

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.
