I like it!! already heard it before.

I like it … go head Mariah

*Im buyin’ the album..

I like it a lot!!!! Perfect person to sing this.

Dream is like that!! Dayum… He is really a good producer. Definate good ear 4 music.

The-Dream at his best and MC at her pretty good… I like!

I have no idea what ppl are listening to. This is mediocre. And I am a Mariah Carey FANATIC. I even have the Glitter album. So there’s no hate here. I just think the song is just okay, nothing spectacular.

It sounds ok but i I prefer the Dream’s demo version better…her low notes are killing me…sounds like a wall scratching.

Man, I LOVE this song! It’s going to be one of my favs from the album I can already tell! I just love the groove to it…..I hope this gets released at some point!!!!

song is fuckin’ hot! you are bringin’ the heat this time mimi, i heard the album sampler at the whole album is the shit, pretty much from beginning to end. i will be purchasing ‘memoir of an imperfect angel” next tuesday!

I think I prefer The Dream’s demo version better as well. But, I love both versions.

MAN IVE BEEN WAITIN 2 HERE DIS SINCE DA DREAM VERSION CAME OUT MONTHS AGO!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

HOW DREADFULL!!!!!!!

NOT TOO BAD, I’VE ACTUALLY HEARD SOME OTHER SONGS OFF THE ALBUM THAT ARE BETTER BUT I’LL DEFINITELY BE BUYING IT.

Another Mariah fanatic here, and I LOVE this song!! Way better than the Dream’s version!! (And I have the Glitter album too!)

I like it! I usually have a good ear for this kindof thing (wish I woulda made a career out of it long ago)! I predict that this will be a pretty good hit for Mariah and will win her some awards. Good job!

i just wish she would use her powerful voice again. all the high notes get annoying and that pseudo sensual voice is done for. i just want her to take it back to the vision of love days when she had semi soul. i miss the “umph” in her voice for lack of a better word.

this is hot ….. i like it though!!

i think i heard the dreams version
before and i actually like his a little
better (even tho i cnt stand him) -
but overall its a nice song & i love mimi!

The low notes suck!
Sorry Mimi but NO…

OMG OMG OMG!!!! I LOVE you Mariah!!! I’m loving this song!!! She’s killing me with this one!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Mariah!! Wow i’m SO gonna buy the album next week. Yes i love this! Welcome back mariah!

I like it. But nothing Mariah does today compares to her work from the 90’s.

yea i agree mimi’s music use to be sooooooooo good these days its blah…nothing special

i am a pretty big mariah fan too… from vanishing to outside, close my eyes to petals, mine again to yours… a few of my faves of the lesser known songs… anyhow i feel y’all on how you like to old stuff because i do too… BUT… lets let the girl evolve as an artist… THIS SONG IS FFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRREEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love it!!!!

5 OUT OF 5 STARS

GREAT PRODUCTION LYRICS AND VOCAL ARRANGEMENT

SHE SANG THE SONG THE WAY SHE DID BECAUSE THIS WAS AN ODE TO MINNIE RIPP, BY SINGING HALF THE SONG IN NOTHING BUT THE WHISTLE REGISTER, WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DO………………….

That’s hot! I love Mariah!

Why does she keep allowing Dream to pen for her albums? The song was kewl. Mariah can do better

I agree with the others. H.A.T.E.U is just okay. I expected more out of the song, and she did compare the song to Minnie’s Loving You, but I didn’t hear any similarities. Perhaps I should listen to the song again.

By the way, I think Brian should’ve poted at least 3 more songs. The Impossible, Betcha Didn’t Know, and Up Out Of My Face are FIRE. Those three should’ve been posted, instead of H.A.T.E.U.

MOAIA is by far one of Mariah’s best albums. She didn’t let us down on this one. The albums leaves E=MC Squared in the dust.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Try again! WTF is everybody hearing?? She don’t have it anymore. I downloaded her new CD last night and i listened to it from beginning to the end and the album is sooooo cheesey and wack! I’m soooo over her! I only like about 2 cuts off her new joint.

Scientists should do a study on the affects that auto-tune has on a person’s hearing ability. Do artist even try anymore?

Cosigning w/ S Dot the remake mediocre.. It sounds much better when he sang it… Actually have it in my car

i love it, but i love mariah… but her 2nd single disappoints me.. but anywho. i wish her much luck and success on her new album. i will buy it and even tho haters are gonna hate i bet she still gon make this album #1. so GO MIMI !!

ps: she need to release Angel’s Cry or The Impossible as a single

YES Mariah! This album sounds a lot like “Butterfly” it just flows nicely.

I loved it,,, I never comment on these blogs but this track is definetly whats hot… Rarely do you hear songs nowadays that have this kinda power to match the listeners emotions so perfectly. From the strong and relatable lyrics,, to the melodies and mood this sick beat puts you in… It definetly brought tears to my eyes because im going through this situation in my life right now (my first true love and breakup), and this song is tellin my story man,, lol. Without getting too mushy im glad i have a song to kinda help me through and assure me that everyone goes through the same process ,,varying from person to person of couse,, but the initial feelings and withdrawls of a breakup im sure we can all agree The Dream and Mariah tapped into with ease, Good job mimi,,, No im not a critic or record exec, just a true music lover…

This is song is hot and MARIAH CO-WROTE THE WHOLE ALBUM, the songs weren’t handed to her, you can hear how much the lyrics have changed from the demo which is nowhere near this level. Should’ve posted Ribbon and Standing O as well though.

FIRE!

Haters Stand the fuck Back,Now!!!! Watch Mariah eat them Grammy for B-fast,lunch and dinner, in February…it the album is soo hot she can retire with this one!!!
WOW, a great album…wait t yall here Standing O …low note haters….and Betcha Gon Know….wow, and when you here More than just friends, give it up …haters again. And for the one that dont lke the high notes watch her break all yall Bitches or bitches with Angels Cry… I think i’ve said enough most Artists cant have 6 goods songs on 1 Cd….So this one true fans will ike all the way through…Damn Mariah dat fuckin deal!!Now, Haters you can sleep !!

this is the best song that has been made all year it is way better than all of the stuff that out there the arrangement is perfection yall want vocal aerobics she older now her voice can’t do what it used to but what she can do now is a hell of lot better than what most singers can do

I enjoyed that! I dont understand why Dream wont let Christina have some of these songs. Mariah needs stop letting her music get leaked though, nobody is checking for her in the stores when you can record off Youtube.

not my favoirite

I heard the entire album yesterday I’m so excited. One of my favs is Candy Bling. I just hope the leak doesn’t mess her up because she deserves much success for this album.

Mariah’s “Up Out My Face” goes hard.

i like it!

I love it! Go Mimi!

Team Mariah!

Nice but not a single….

Nice but not a single…. I just hope this album really talks about love in a deep way. She seems to be very in love and I would like to hear about it!

“Angels Cry” goes deep.

into the soul.

i heard the cd but its only “OK” to me, about four songs are really good(Angels cry, it’s a wrap, hate u and up out my face), everything else sounds kinda like throw away tracks

OH….I mma buy it ….might get three gotta buy it for the haters!!! LMFAO at people who dont know musical talent…let me take breath and contain my composer..told you on more time if you f’d up its over!! Its a wrap…!!! I bet yall gonna like that too!

um its ok….

well. the lyrics in her version are heads & shoulders above what “The-Dream” demo’d. i’m glad she rewrote them. song’s pretty damn hot. the production is stripped down enough to let Mimi do her thing. nicely done.

now if people are still holding out for Mariah from 1990…g’head….y’all can head home. it ain’t happening…..even if she rests her vocals for a year straight. she has a new texture now….if you can’t get with it, then keep it moving. calling for her old sound every time she releases an album won’t bring it back. there are more fish in the sea….go get u one.

as for the Minnie Ripperton ‘tribute’: it’s kinda hard to miss. at the end of the chorus when she says “i can’t wait to hate you…..” she follows it up with a “ah-ah ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah” which is similar to the melody high part/whistle that comes after the chorus in “Loving You”.

i guess people thought the song would have more of Minnie’s influence, but that’s the only bit i picked up.

newayz….Mariah has delivered a very solid album. while you have the few that are just not gonna give her her props b/c she doesn’t sound like she did when they were 3…..everybody else knows the deal. she brought it.

you’ve earned my dollars M.C.

fo sho number 53!!!

I’ve been with Mariah Carey since her debut I have every cd.. although i love Mariah back in the old days Mariah-butterfly i prefer. but Mariah does adapt well with this new era of music…I will be buying this album just like i brought all of them.

Ilike it!

I voted “Not” before listening to the song in its entirety. 1st was b/c i wasnt to keen on the whole “HATE U” thing..i’mma lover..:)) But then i listened and grasped the concept she was delivering. It was cool. I’m diggin the vocals and the lyrics..the prodoction is tight too. I wonder though so when you say The Dream, “produced” this what did he produce?..the track..or the lyrics?.

it’s cool

I really like mariah’s cd. I really like angels cry, bet you gonna know.

mariah did her thing on this cd

and i don’t even like mariah but this cd is serious adult music

Angels Cry is my joint it’s We Belong Together II

love this cd the THEMES are like butterfly, it’s so emotional

i really love mariahs cd and listening to betcha gon know really hurt

i remember catching my man cheating

MARIAH ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT CATCHING TOMMY CHEATING WITH JLO?

I DON’T WANT TO HEAR MARIAH SOUND LIKE SOME ASSEMBLY LINE WHITE GIRL

I DONT LIKE THE MARIAH OF 1990, I COULD NOT RELATE TO HER AND HER BUTTERY MUSIC

I LIKE/LOVE THIS OLDER, WISER, WOMAN-SOUNDING MARIAH.

PEOPLE YOU CAN’T CHANGE BACK IN TIME, LOVE HER FOR WHO SHE IS NOW

SONG OF CHOICE: IT’S A WRAP ……………….SHE HANDLED THAT. GO GIRL

so she went from white girl to mixed girl and now shes black girl

go ms thang i like this cut

WHITNEY is shaking in her boots and wig

I personally liked when The Dream sang it more than when Mariah did. This is basically because the low notes of the song fit him a lot better than they do Mariah. But the concept of the song is really good.
And i think when people talk about wanting the Mariah from the 90s they mean the early 90s when she first came out. You know like Emotions and Vision of Love, back when her voice had power and feeling; not the Butterflies and Rainbow thing she had going on. Her voice now sounds decent on the track but lately when I’ve heard her sing live she sounds bad.

I LOVE IT….gO MiMi…def coppin the album!!

This song is hot. if u dnt think so. ur a hater. stop bashing music when u have no idea what ur talking about. u say its mediocre i say its mariah. where can i find the dream version though, im curious to see how that sound. the melody is hot

“It’s a Wrap” is the business. Bluesy/Jazzy feel and she’s sangin’.

Yall know the Dream can’t sing. Whoever thinks he can needs to NEVER say Ciara can’t sing because they on the same level. The males is almost worst than the females. Non singing ass dudes coming out.

LOVE MARIAH BUT HATE THIS SONG.

the mariah album as a whole is pretty good,she could have left maybe 5 or so tracks to reallly make it a fiyah album tho!!

AHHHH I LOVEEED IT FROM THE FIRST TIME I HEARD A SNIPPET!!
CANT WAIT..7DAYSSSSSSS

It was just alright to me. I don’t like when she whispers in her songs. A whistle note here and there is cool though.

I L-O-V-E this! Wow… this has me excited to hear the whole album. I will be playing this all night! Thank you, CL!

AHHH, MARIAH. I GUESS I CAN DIG THIS SONG. I HAD THE CHANCE TO LISTEN TO HER ALBUM AND I ONLY LIKED ABOUT 3 SONGS. “INSEPARABLE” AND “THE IMPOSSIBLE”, WHICH KINDA REMINDS ME OF ANY TIME, ANY PLACE BY JANET JANET. MY MOST FAVORITE WAS “CANDY BLING” AND U KNOW WHY, LOL, GO DJ, PLAY MY SONG!

YES MIMI !!!
Lovin it !
Im a HUGE fan .. just bought her album off Amazon

I like this song…nice beat and everything..way to go.

its ok… but i like her first single…I’ll get the album at the end of the week.

I like it, reminds me of Bliss from the ‘Rainbow’ album back in ‘99 with the vibe and vocals somewhat…however, her voice is starting to strain and I don’t know what it is, but she’s losing it a bit.

lol @ 78. if you just noticing Mariah’s voice is “changing”…….you are oh so late. if anything, she sounds like she’s starting to regain a bit of strength. but hey…..everybody’s entitled to their own opinion.

previewed the album today and let me tell ya….Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel is THE SHIZZZZZZ….. I’m luvin it so much have listened to it 5 times today…and that hairstyle she has on now…working well with the album cos this is throwback mariah..back to her rnb roots instead of teeny boppy E=mc2….Loves it.

she def does not have the voice she was born with and what made her a legend but i really like this.

this track is nice and sweet. better than the rest of the crap she comes out with.

she needs to stick to soft rock and slow rnb bc when she mixes it with hip hop and pop, it just doesnt sound correct. stick to the same recipe mariah.. ur voice is suitable for songs like these.

every time i see mariah she looks like a porn star. maybe she should change career paths as trashy as she looks.

@64, why should Whitney be shaking in her boots? Her cd just jumped back up to #2 this week.

This song is not hot. I use to love Mariah. Her last good effort was the 4 years ago with The Emancipation of Mimi. Her last cd sucked (couldn’t even tell you the name of it). This cd is going to suck as well.

@chinadoll..

girl please, if your even a real girl…what chick calls herself chinadoll…maybe a hoe or a stripper

Mariah’s last cd was hot i actually liked a few tracks.

This cd is straight grown woman. i love it. yes, the return of ms. carey

chinadoll…….really? how about you listen to Mariah’s album first before you say what Whitney should & should not be afraid of.

Mariah will never sound the way she did when she started, but i guarantee you she sounds better than anything Whitney can dream of in her wettest dream.

what happened? Mariah’s not black enough for you to support? or does she need to hit the pipe too? *smh*

BEST MARIAH R&B SLOW JAM SINCE BUTTERFLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

Butterfly had The Roof and Breakdown. This album has HATE U and Ribbon as just to craaaaazy r&b joints. I mean her whispery voice really really works here and then when she belts it at the end is just amazing…makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand.

Mariah can sing alot better than allll these bitches out there. She has every register. If only she would stop drinking all that wine and taking care of her voice outside of recording periods so that we can get some amazing live performances.

Very good album. Liked it all except for Up Out My Face’s, More Than Just Friends is meh and Angels Cry is so fucked up. The intro is nice but otherwise a huge rehash, I can’t even make it through

SHE IS NOT WHISPERING…

SHE’S SINGING IN HER LOWER REGISTER…..

MAYBE IF JENNIFER HUDSON WOULD NOT BELT AND SCREAM 24/7 PEOPLE WOULD BUY HER CD

LISTEN TO MIMI’S LYRICS, PHRASING, OCTAVE’S….ENJOY IT

Unlike EMC2, this album isnt loaded with obvious singles but its just filled with great music like a John Legend album.

But radio needs a song like this….grown ass woman shit!!

This is my fav off the album. I’ve been stuck on it ever since I heard the whole song. The whole album is very smooth R&B and more grown up.

That one little beat reminds me of Timbaland.

SHE HAD ME AT THE FIRST TEN SECONDS! MIMI DOES IT AGAIN!!!

[...] [Concreteloop] [...]

Mariah is doing her thing on Standing O and It’s a Wrap — girl tell Derek Jeter OFF

in the vein of Shake It Off

She is giving me what I need this time around

HATEU is ok, Just OK, she’s kind of lazy with the VOCALs on this one

Why is mariah not promoting this cd? let me guess, her lazy butt is making the fans do it again, so let me see, we have to promote a cd which has NO MINE AGAIN, NO FLY LIKE A BIRD, NO if it’s over, there is NOT one incredible song on this boring predictable cd.

NO BELTING SONGS…..this cd is almost as bad as C.B/Rainbow.

This is my LEAST favoriate mariah cd. bullcrap

we asked a duet—- she didn’t do it
we asked for some pop songs - she didn’t do it
we asked for some hard-hitting belting songs — she didn’t do it

THE DREAM’S SONGWRITING SUCKS, HIS PRODUCTION IS AVERAGE, WHERE IS WALTER MARIAH?

she sucks. Hopefully Leona Lewis will have some good tracks

@ NO LONGER A FAN ( I AGREE)

sorry i know most of you people like this song but this is a average song, and mariah is not an average vocalist.

did she do this cd and forget she can really sing?

@ mike . gaygirl

please this cd is tired. EOM was a smash, full of great music this sounds like the dream made mariah into a robot

she has lost her vocal swag, boring

i love this song … Im going through this now in my life. i love songs that i can relate too makes the hartbreak go by so much faster. Go Mariah and Dream ,’-)

@ #24 “Vanishing” was/is the sh!t

same old shit. less-than-mediocre track, whispering instead of singing, overly photoshopped promo pics. she has become a one trick pony. no wonder they pushed this album back like a million times.

FLOP.

garbage. this is going to flop just like her last CD. thank God Whitney Houston is back.

with crap like this, she doesn’t stand a chance in hell against Leona Lewis’ new CD.

Yikes. Why the hell is MC being autotuined to death. I can understand it on the first single. The whole T-pain thing kind of fit. But this is a semi ballad. Why are they tunning the dog snot out of her vocals?

I love it!

Really like it.

OH MY GOSH I LOVE MARIAH CAREY AND THE SONG IS SO ON POINT….!!!!

I LOVE Mariah but this song is so BORING !!

i love this song so much since the day i first heard it.. i cannot WAIT for this album!

you haters need to shut the F*** up u guys dont know S***
MC is coming bck
this album is going to be great

you haters need to shut up you guys don know anything
Mc is coming back
this album is going to be Amazing

I absolutely love it. just wish i knew what h.a.t.e.u. stood for….

I love this song because it is true for me with a guy in my life and I just love the melody of this song.
