I know that Niecy will be proud
once she hears this...

do you hear the resemblence?

I've been playing the album here at work and it really flows. It's nice to listen to it while doing some boring work. Props to Mimi!

I should have the CD this time tomorrow as long as this shop in NYC gets their delivery in. Its an interesting interview but i still feel with Mariah though she says things and has the care-free attitude, she doesnt have it in her yet to not aim for charts and radio and video, she still isnt the type of person that says "im making music to please me and dont really care who accepts it" she still wants to please fans, which is fine but as an artist you have to do for you first and i dont feel thats entirely where she is at, her mind set is this going to get played.

muse87 said:

precisely!

love that last clip of her
singing "God Is Amazing"
there was another clip of her
singing that a while ago
OMG... I could never get enough

@Theo - hear "If You Don't Believe"
from this album... and you'll see where
I make the comparison to "I Wish You Well"

Now I really can’t wait to hear this song… In the meantime…
I can be elusive with you, hoooneeeeh

Fly Like a Bird (Idols Give Back)

OMG. I. Love. Her.

PricelessHo said:

She was squealing last night and all the dogs in my neighborhood started to howl. Love her. Hate that minimal. high pitched song.

Mariah was good last night on Idol. I can't wait to see her again next week on the show.

I've changed my mind on something. I need to hear this CD. I need to be led in the way to go to hear how my homegirl is sounding today. Who can help me?

purplecam said:

I love how it seems to be a revelation for you.

I'm still holding out. I don't know how I'm doing it. Well partially by listening to my MC playslist that has over a 100 songs.

Omg. that performance

This is the most powerful song she's written since Petals:

I Wish You Well

This goes out to you and you and you
You know who you are

Hmm hmm hmm
When glory days turn to stormy nights
You must have been so petrified
Didn't you, didn't you feel so cold
You against the world in a losing fight
Captive of your demons inside

So you sought an enemy
(I'm not your enemy. He lives in you, you know it's true)
Like times before to mock ignorantly
(But the Lord said love, love your enemy so just...)
Take heed to the Word it's time
Check Proverbs 19:29
Don't cry

I wish you well
I wish you well
I wish you well

I truly wanted solidarity
Still wearing my blinders back then
(So much I didn't see)
I weep for what I dreamed we all could be
I'll keep you in prayer till the end

Still bruised, still walk on eggshells
Same frightened child, hide to protect myself
(Can't believe I still need to protect myself from you)
But you can't manipulate me like before
Examine first John chapter 4 verse 4

And
I wish you well
I wish you well
I wish you well

Be strong in the Lord and power of His might

If my shows of gratitude are miniscule
Inside your mind, sorry
(I'm so sorry, please forgive me)
There's only so much I can do I love you and did all that I could

Maybe when you're cursing me
You don't feel so incomplete
But we've all made mistakes
Felt the guilt and self-hate

I know you've been there for me plenty
Maybe still got love for me
But let him without sin cast the first stone brethren
But who remains standing then
Not you not I see Phillipians 4:9
(Put it into practice and the God of Peace will be with you)

So
I wish you well
I wish you well
I wish you well

(He who the Son sets free is free indeed)
No weapon formed against me shall prosper
Surely God is my salvation
I will trust and not be afraid
The Lord, the Lord is my salvation
I will trust in Him
Yes, I know that I know that I know that I know

But I have had God's help to this very day
And so I stand here and testify
To small and great alike
So the more you curse me
The more you're blessing me
The Word said it
Love your enemies

Do good to those who curse you
Pray for those who mistreat you
Psalms 129:2
They have greatly oppressed me from my youth
But they have not gained victory over me
(In Jesus' name)

I wish you well

He that keeps his mind state on the Lord
He will keep them in perfect peace

besides Tommy, she's definitely adressing her sister Alison there.

Heat has leaked

http://www.youtube.com/wa...fFMBcXLz68

^and it's Goddamn awful lol

i can't believe it'll be following I Wish You Well in some editions

PricelessHo said:

i know right

imagine someone listening to the album with Heat as the bonus

Examine first John chapter 4 verse 4

then

you think i wont come out these heels and make it clear ho i aint the one

muse87 said:

With a title and lyrics like that I expected something harder and much better. It's very rinky-dink. Glad it's not on all versions.

muse87 said:

I KNOW

oh man i kinda like it! does that mean i have bad taste?

muse87 said:

That shit is worse than Migrate

PricelessHo said:

Ooh can’t wait for that. Heard they’re going to the Tribeca pad too.

Love I'll Be Lovin' U long Time,,,,and I'm That Chick reminds me of Slave's music(Wonder where she sampled this joint from ).

Overall, its ok but like somebody else mentioned earlier,,,Bitch is OD'ing on Janet's dwarf, thats why the album tracks sound the same.

But I'm really happy for her success,,,,,shit, its a giving after what she been through.
