You Don't Know What To Do (43,679) by Will from England This song needs to be a single, like, right now. This very minute. This very second. I can't get this song out of my head because it is so catchy. (Friday 16 May 2014; 15:07)

Tracklisting (43,678) by Paul from Usa Go to Wikipedia and all the writers are mentioned. Cry was written by Mariah and James Wright. One More Cry is written by George Michael. (Friday 16 May 2014; 15:06)

Today Show (43,677) by Paul from Usa I was a little disappointed to hear her sing "Obsessed" and "Touch My Body". Sounded really really rough. I enjoyed "Don't Know What To Do". It reminded me of "Don't Stop"from a Glitter. I'm halfway through the performance. Hope a new song will be sung, or whichever one she sings is from her heart. (Friday 16 May 2014; 15:04)

You don't know what to do (43,676) by Darryle from USA This song is really good. I just heard if from the concert and it's so different. I wonder how long she's had it because I remember she was playing the lines: "I can give it to you but what you gonna do?" On the piano and then we get them in this song. Either way love the song. Mariah sounded perfect her voice sounds super strong. (Friday 16 May 2014; 15:00)

The Today Show (43,675) by JC from UK Looks like Mariah sang YM(E) and You Don't Know What To Do (ft. Wale). I'm only guessing she sang YM(E) because I saw a picture of her on top of a piano like when she sang on BET. I'm gonna be honest, I really wanted her to sing Thirsty but maybe she did and there's just no clips of it yet. I'm not a fan of YDKWTD though. Reminded me of Boy and Sprung for some reason. Also, I am rather annoyed at the fact that I can already tell she wasn't singing live judging from the pictures and clips on Instagram. (Friday 16 May 2014; 14:50)

Today Show (43,674) by Licia from USA She's singing another new song. The one with Wale. I thought she would do Thirsty but we get a whole new song. I'm excited. (Friday 16 May 2014; 14:10)

Cry (43,673) by Darryle from USA I don't think Mariah's Cry is Michael's Cry. Mariah's Cry has a period after it and I just can't see why should add one after a song that's not hers. Time wise Michael's Cry is 5:00 minutes and hers is 4:52, only an 8 second difference but still means a possibly shortened cover. While I don't think it's Michael's song, I do hope it is because Cry is a fantastic song and would be a fitting tribute to him. (Friday 16 May 2014; 13:55)

Youre mine (eternal) remix / Beautiful remix (43,672) by Panos from Greece I've just heard a remix of You're Mine Eternal that has become a favourite in Ukmix, called "Boyfriends So So Def remix" and I just can't get it out of my mind. If this isn't a fan made remix, what they were thinking and didn't release as the very first official remix. It's so late 80s-early 90s, yet it sounds so fresh and uplifting. I imagine driving and jamming to this during summer. Old school at its best. In my opinion, it's the best remix she's done after Triumphant dance remix and Beautiful feat. Young Jeezy remix. But I have to say I am also very disappointed they didn't release the 90s throwback remix of #Beautiful, we all (even Slant magazine) are looking for. But I have a feeling that they are going to release it, soon or later, in order to hype and tease us for the album. ? can't explain it differently why they released a year old remix and they are saying it's not the one that we are craving for. As Alex from England said, we must require repeatedly, in her facebook page, JT's page, Instagram, Twitter, everywhere this remix to come to surface. It's not impossible, especially now that she released an already year old remix of Beautiful. It's the right time. We can make it happen. (Friday 16 May 2014; 10:30)

Cry / No Way Tired / faded sticker, Mariah Carey sticker (43,671) by PJW from The U.K. Ah thanks, guys. I was aware of those songs. Although I'm slightly disappointed there won't be a gospel opener for a change, I just listened to "No Way Tired" and I'm sure it's gonna be a fanastic track. Thanks again. I also noted that "Faded" sticker and wondered but saying that, "Charmbracelet" had a "Yours" sticker on it and we all know that ultimately didn't happen (will we ever the JT mix?). Talking of stickers, I've still got my original "Mariah Carey" album (the first cd I ever bought) and the sticker proclaims "A new star has risen. Featuring the new single 'Vision of Love'." I knew I loved VOL but at that age I couldn't even perceive how long 24 years was, let alone how much joy this girl would bring me. I also got given a promo copy of "The First Vision" when it came out. It's in the cupboard now but says something along the lines of "Mariah has sold over 100,000 records". If only they knew what was coming... (Friday 16 May 2014; 10:30)

Today Show (43,670) by Eternal from Italy There's some speculation that a possible next single could be Faded, produced by Mike Will Made It. There's a sticker on some physical copies of the Target edition of the album highlighting Beautiful, YME, Thirsty and also Faded. Since Mariah's doing the Today Show in a few hours time, I really hope she sings a few songs off the new album instead of rehashing for the umpteenth time ABMB, WBT or MIH. My dream set list for her would be: Thirsty Beautiful (done without Miguel so it feels more like an MC song) One More Try Faded Vision of Love The last one to remind people that she's been around for the past 24 years, just in case someone forgets.

PJW / Michael Jackson's "Cry" (43,669) by Marky Mark from Australia Cry is not a cover but an original written by Mariah and Big Jim Wright. The two covers are One More Try by George Michael and Heavenly which covers the Curtis Burrell song No Way Tired. (Friday 16 May 2014; 4:13)

Re: PJW and Edward, the second cover (43,667) by Isabelle from USA Cry. is not the second cover, because it is written by Mariah and Big Jim Wright, and not Michael and R. Kelly. The second cover might be Heavenly, maybe sorta of a mash up between the Mary Mary song and some other song. I think Heavenly will be built like I Still Believe (Pure Imagination Remix). Mariah possibly added some few words so the song would fit together. (Friday 16 May 2014; 4:02)

Cover songs (43,666) by Austin from USA The 2 covers on the album are One More Try and No Ways Tired. (Friday 16 May 2014; 3:33)

Edward / MJ's Cry (43,665) by PJW from The U.K. I don't want to speculate too much that it is that, but yeah, isn't it a great song and wouldn't it be lovely if it were? It'd be a beautiful opener for an album, she'd sound gorgeous singing it and if she took and accentuated the gospel elements (which I'm sure she would) it would blow my mind. (Friday 16 May 2014; 2:45)

PJW / Michael Jackson's "Cry" (43,662) by Edward from USA PJW, as soon as I read your post about "Cry" being the possible second cover from Me. I Am Mariah, I went and watched the video on YouTube. I had never heard this song before,iIt is just beautiful. I was looking for similarity in length, since we don't know anything other than that the length of Mariah's "Cry", and when I realized that the lengths of the songs 4:58 (Michael's) and 4:52 (Mariah's) were so close, I felt happy about the possibility. Two covers and none of them shortened from their original lengths tells me that Mariah has taken this album seriously. (Friday 16 May 2014; 1:39)

Re Edward (43,661) by G.G. from USA Thanks for the info. That seems crazy that all that can count for chart position. I would think that only the video directly from the artist themselves would count. I guess that explains how some of the songs today chart so high. (Friday 16 May 2014; 1:20)

Revolt (43,660) by PJW from The U.K. Okay, am I hearing this video incorrectly? Revolt writes that Mariah said "Thirsty" was her favourite track on the album and then talks about the vocal performance. They then have a video where, as far as I can see, she's actually talking about "You're mine (eternal)". Further, she says it's the first single from the album. Cough, cough, J.D. I get and appreciate they're promoting "Thirsty" as much as possible but really, that was silly. (Friday 16 May 2014; 0:55)

G.G. / views (43,659) by Edward from USA Anything streamed from YouTube (videos, lyric videos, unofficial videos, fan made videos), Vevo, MTV and Yahoo Music and Aol Music counts. Among the on-demand streaming services anything streamed from MOG, Muve Music, Rdio, Rhapsody, Slacker, Spotify, Xbox Music and others also counts. For instance, thanks to the almost 40 million views generated by a viral explosion of a new parody video of the song, Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" returned to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. As many of other streaming sources become more popular they are slowly incorporated into the formula. So, even if a song is not officially released as a single, if generates enough views, it could potentially chart on the Hot 100. (Friday 16 May 2014; 0:54)

Purple Crush (43,658) by Paul from USA If anything, it sounds like PC lifted Madonna's "Vogue", than Mariah does their "song". "Stop using the Mariah train for your gain." Haters come in all shapes and forms but Mariah always slays. (Friday 16 May 2014; 0:53)

Purple Crush and MC (43,657) by Gilles from Malta Hello everybody. So regarding this I would say it is only the title that is similar lol. Love you all. (Friday 16 May 2014; 0:37)

No similarities to Purple Crush (43,656) by Christy from USA This suggestion of a similarity between the Purple Crush version of Thirsty and Mariah's is absurd. In fact, it sounds as if the Purple Crush version was copied after Madonna's Vogue. Also, in the PC version, the singer says, "I'm thirsty" where as Mariah says, "You thirsty". Sounds as if PC is trying for cheap publicity. (Friday 16 May 2014; 0:26)

Two covers / Damizza (43,655) by PJW from The U.K. So I heard (via Liron, formerly of Mariah Daily who's heard the album) that there are two covers on Me. I Am Mariah. Obviously "One more try" is one of them but is the other "Cry" by Michael Jackson? I think Mariah would cover that beautifully and it'd be a nice tribute to him. As for Damizza, as mentioned before he posted about Thirsty, leaving a few mild comments about Mariah. I asked him why he would make comment on it, especially considering the magic they'd made together and the risk of tarnishing that through public put downs, despite any grievences they may share with eachother. He responded saying "we're just having fun, (there's) no hard feelings, (I've) nothing but respect for queen lamb". If it wasn't about him, I doubt he'd make himself look silly by responding to it all, so I stick by my theory, but his response made me question the seriousness of it all. It's all a load of fun, maybe, which is classic Mariah. The name throwing doesn't hurt if they're both in on the joke, it potentially gets his name out there a bit more and it gets people talking about the track a bit. It works all round. (Friday 16 May 2014; 0:22)

Thirsty (43,654) by Carol from Spain Honestly these allegations that Thirsty was lifted from Purple Crush is absurd. I personally don't find anything similar detween the two songs. Copyright where? It's not like they trademarketed the title Thirsty. (Thursday 15 May 2014; 23:56)

Views (43,653) by G.G. from USA I'm not 100% sure how views count towards Billboard charts. If Mariah releases the audio to a song on YouTube/Vevo does that count towards chart position? What about lyric videos? If either of those count towards charts, wouldn't it be best for MC to immediately release the audio/lyric videos to YouTube? That way the views aren't "wasted". Thirsty has quite a few views on Revolt, but I don't think they count unless they're on YouTube/Vevo. (Thursday 15 May 2014; 23:22)

#Beautiful (Cazzette Remix) (43,652) by G.G. from USA I love it. I immediately put the song on my gym playlist. Mariah's remixes are great for working out. (Thursday 15 May 2014; 23:16)
