Mariah as a ring girl lol Other than the theme, she still keeps up the rest of her trademarks: busting out of outfits, the hand wave as she hits the high notes, the super heels, and the diva fan. A few gif-worthy moments in here I'm sure.

Meek Mills and Rick Ross...it would have been better if their verses were reduced...I said it in the other thread but Mariah fans want to hear mostly MARIAH, and not these rappers.

but she has to try to stay relevent by try to get the "in the moment" artist...newsflash Mariah..the 90s are over...you will always will be a "Pop singer" as that is where your success came from..so try to hang with the hip hop crowd...it looks pathetic and desperate...and someone in there early 40's should stop dressing like they are in their early 20s...nit classy...

Mariah.... STOP

It was cool... and somewhat new to do the sexy singing & collab with rappers in 1996... it is now 2012. And this is all this heffah does eek

She collabs with every rapper in the game & makes videos that look like rip-offs from her butterfly era.

I love her vocals on the song and the music for it, but I agree there is no soulful melody like Can't Let Go, her best song ever.

I don`t like Mariah much/ neutral
She was a very good singer and decent songwriter, but it seems that she just does not have the personality. She was cute and talented in the beginning of her career, but it was so long ago.

song and video soooooo mediocre confused

So she had the experience of giving birth to 2 children and this is the video she comes up with....walking around in a miniskirt at a boxing game. It's plastic and it will always be plastic.

And here she is to set that bar somewhere... Idk if you call that bar set high, but she has set it.

People want her to judge other people's talent. On TV. Weekly.

How can someone auditioning to replace her hope for any success without a guest rapper?

She hasn't has that many hits with guest rappers. Fantasy with ODB? The album version was what got airplay and video play. Her only real hit with a rapper was Heartbreaker with Jay-Z.

Mariah takes a backseat to her two guest rappers for roughly 75 % of the entire song. I have to constantly remind myself that this is her single, not theirs. Her wanting to "bring back the days when R&B records didn’t have to crossover” must be some sort of private joke.

It surprises no one the sales have been abysmal.

Seriously, who's going to play this? I don't care how many rappers she has on it, Mimi is a 40+ woman. Contemporary R&B radio probably won't embrace any song from a middle-aged woman. A/C Pop & R&B won't touch it with a ten-foot pole unless there is a version without the rap available. I think it could do very well for her on the A/C R&B side since she is actually singing out loud instead of whispering but the rap has to go.
