Rant (43,598) by Darryle from USA Sorry for the long rant on the last post. Just needed to get that stuff out there. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 13:03)

Negativity (43,597) by Darryle from USA What's with all the hate for Thirsty. People are saying it's worse than Triumphant, it's not what they wanted, it's another hip hop beat etc. This song is nowhere near as bad as Triumphant. Mariah's vocals are stronger, the lyrics don't go from an uplifting rap verse to throwing money on strippers and have big cars. They stay consistent throughout the song. It is similar to N*ggas in Paris and it's not the best vocally but makes up for it in it's catchiness. It's got all the components of a first single which in reality it really is. It's catchy, the lyrics are good, has a summer vibe, and the gp will like it. I don't see how everyone can be dissapointed with it not being an uptempo. That's practically what the entire lambily has been asking for. Judging by the title and that Hit-Boy produced it I knew it would be an uptempo. As for the hip hop influences, they won't go away. They've always been apart of Mariah from the beginning. Jermaine even said he tries to get Mariah to do more ballads and less hip hop stuff but it's what she wants. Lastly I don't think it's been said here but to the goats saying it's not age appropriate. There's nothing wrong with this song. It's not like she's old. Look at Beyonce, 30 something, has a kid a few years younger than Mariah's and is making songs about giving head and no one says make songs age appropriate. I hope more people start to realize this songs potential because Mariah really needs a break. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 13:01)

Now video (43,594) by Zachary from Croatia Song is perfect. I am hoping for a remix like she did with We Belong Together and than the video has to be sassy and edgy with some guys in the video instead just her. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 11:00)

Thirsty for a dream, filled with discontent (43,593) by Loris from Italy In the realm of her discography Thirsty is not an experimental track, but it definitely encapsulates many trademarks of a Mariah composition post-Butterfly, like Crybaby, Clown, Miss You, Shake It Off, Migrate, Obsessed. Lyrically, it is a reminescence of Clown and Obsessed and showcases the usual contents and language of a typical Mariah song, while sonically it reminds especially of Migrate, although the formula has been upgraded towards a more sensual vibe. The catatonic line "Oh, you’re thirsty" is the quintessential Mariah hotness. Plus, she is very funny when mentioning instagram (in 2008 it was a YouTube moment XD). The vocals are divinely roboticizated, but there's no mistaking Mariah Carey. In other words, with the exception of Triumphant (huge misstep), Mariah has released quite good r&b songs, with "#Beautiful" being her blissfully outstanding modern classic, "You're mine" and incredible nostalgic moment and "Thristy" simply her potential new number 1.

On point (43,592) by Dani from USA I think "Thirsty" is on point. I actually thought it was going to be a song about Nicki Minaj, but I'm glad it wasn't. I am surprised that it's about a man, though. Someone mentioned that it might be about Mizza. That's an interesting theory. If it's about Nick, well then, I'm glad she's channeling her frustrations through her music. There's a conviction to her voice that we haven't heard since TEOM, and it makes her sound much more human (more relatable, I think). Some of you like raw ballads, and although this isn't a ballad, it's definitely raw. She seems to be wrapping her voice around the beat, which is something artists aren't doing these days. What she's doing with her voice is quite innovative, I feel. The layering, someone mentioned, different from her usual stuff, though I can't exactly pinpoint why. Whatever it is, it's definitely catchy. Someone's already mentioned that at the beginning, where we hear the pouring of the champagne, makes it clear that MC was painstakingly attentive to detail this time around (which also leaves me wondering why she had that lighter in the studio that one day). Even the ending, where the beat falls away and we just hear her voice is too good. It'll be a great album, on par with TEOM, rest assured. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 9:38)

Thirsty (43,591) by Matthew from USA I'm not liking it. My favorite song on the album thus far is #Beautiful. From the opening guitar strings the melody kicks in and you just find yourself singing along. Uptempo or ballad, it doesn't matter to me, as long as the melody and the chorus are good. I guess Thirsty would be more in line with her hip-hop side, so the melody takes a backseat to the beat. And the chorus is a chanted "you're thirsty" repeated. I can't say this song makes me want to hit the dance floor, it doesn't make me smile, doesn't make me sad, doesn't make me nostalgic. It kind of just is. At least it sounds fresh. So that's a plus. Sometimes the stars align and you get a fantastic melody, good lyrics, a memorable chorus and solid vocals. It's happened once on this album already with #Beautiful. Here's to hoping it will happen again. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 8:30)

Me. I Am Jordan... Too Thirsty4Mariah (43,590) by Jordan Pasqua from U.S.A Totally excited for the new Mariah album as well as this supposed new single. I would love to hear the entire track seeing that I've only heard about 2:47 of that track. Can't wait any longer for that new Me. I Am Mariah. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 8:29)

Buying Thirsty (43,589) by Darryle from USA Has anyone bought Thirsty yet? I can't seem to find it on the iTunes store. I know Mariah released it to radio already but I don't know if she put it on iTunes. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 8:26)

Eternal (43,587) by Sunshine Divalamb from Germany You wrote "Mariah really can't get a break. She has two groups of lambs: the first group loves her pop and adult contemporary stuff, like #Beautiful, Hero, etc, and are likely to be the older fans." Totally disagree on that point dahling. I'm a oldschool lamb since 1990 and with me a lot of others I know and I love all styles Mariah sings in, please don't label us just because we have been by Mariah's side since the beginning. I know some very young lambs that only like the older stuff and not really the newer stuff, so it has nothing to do with the age of the fan but more with their taste in sound. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 7:46)

G.G. (43,586) by Sunshine Divalamb from Germany Totally disagree. Because we don't bash her doesn't mean we love and like everything Mariah does. There are songs I don't care for, but I still appreciate them because I know a lot of others will love them and I know she put her heart and soul in these songs, just because it's not my taste doesn't mean the songs are bad. Some of you are just waiting to say something negative and will do so with every little thing she does. There is a difference between sometimes giving your (negative) opinion and always complain about every little thing. The song isn't even out for 24 hours and I'm sure some didn't even give it a second listen before they threw it in the trash. By the saying "true fans" it's more about not having to bash Mariah, say she is over and done with or the album will flop just because you don't like a song or 2. What kind off fan says that not knowing how the rest of the songs are going to be? If you can't keep the negativity out for one single thing maybe some should reconsider finding another artist to like, because for some Mariah is clearly not doing it anymore, to read it as a fan since the beginning I must say it gets to a point that it's getting old. This message isn't only for you G.G. but I wanted to comment after seeing your post. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 7:40)

Cover of Thirsty (43,585) by tadatorao from japan First off, I like the cover of Thirsty. Its color scheme, the signature font, the layout. Yet the photoshopping really needs to be done better next time. Her left eye spans from the nose to the edge of her face. Her forehead looks two inches higher than usual. Don't even get me started on the left arm. I am not being picky but I can foresee that her album and single covers will be more and more android like. The natural Mariah is goodlooking enough. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 6:42)

Lee / I've figured it out (43,584) by Marissa from USA I came back on here just to see what other people thought about the song and I came across Lee's post. When you said that it could have been sung by "anyone with vocal chords", it hit me. The main thing that bothers me about this song is that it has no Mariah "stamp" on it so to speak. 9 times out of 10 Mariah puts out music that only Mariah herself can pull off. (How many people do you know that can sing Emotions or go off the way she did at the end of Subtle Invitation?) This felt like she could have been doing a demo for someone else, not in terms of her singing quality but just the song in general. I can't even get mad at her for releasing this as a single (for me personally, it's easier to deal with a song that I don't like if it's an album cut rather than a single) because I'm sure it was something that her label forced her to do. On Letterman, she basically alluded to the fact that she didn't want to release another single so it's pretty obvious what happened. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 6:39)

Thirsty. (43,583) by Paul from Usa I've given this song many listens. I'm still disappointed. I knew it from the first utter of the first line. I don't need to listen to it over and over again to know if I like it if not. What difference does it make if it's been out less than 24 hours? It's not being negative. It's being truthful. Why can't I give my opinion of this song without being stoned by you lamb fans? That's like eating around the hair on the plate of food that was served to you at a restaurant. I'm going to speak up and let you know something is wrong. The charts will tell the truth. Personally. I don't like the song, and it will be a song I exclude from any collection. What happened to this album being a "peaks and valleys" of her life? How many songs have to have a guest rapper on them? This album is starting to smell. So far we have been strung along, delayed and delayed for this? For a handful of new songs (because we've already heard 4-5 of them). Ultra photoshopped album art, from a photoshoot last year? Idk about you all but I feel the music is less about the fans, and more about what Mariah wants, and a paycheck. This song sounds dated, and way to much going on throughout it. Good for the fans that are enjoying it. Perhaps I should bow out of the Mariah realm. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 6:37)

Thirsty (43,582) by Jono from USA Love the feel of the new song. My only complaint would be that I don't care for the amount of vocal layering. Normally I love it since it's quintessential Mariah and only she can do, but with an uptempo fun song just her sole voice would have been enough. That being said, it's the second best song she's released (#Beautiful is still my favorite) from this album and while I'm not expecting it to be a surefire hit, I hope it gives her new album the buzz it deserves. I have a feeling the rest of the album is less radio mainstream, will be less hip-hop and more R&B. This was just to get her on the radio before the cd drops. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 6:26)

Better than Migrate (43,581) by Jamie from UK I absolutely love the new single, it's really what she needs to increase hype for this album. Now I just hope the music video will do the song justice and helps it goes to top 10 perhaps even number one. Pretty sure #1 on iTunes will happen though. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 6:23)

The intro... (43,580) by Michele from USA Thirsty reminds me of the beginning of Snoop Doggy Dogg's "Gin & Juice". You hear a guy say, "Man, I gotta p*ss," and the sound of liquid. That's the hip hop of old that I miss. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 4:27)

Thirsty (43,579) by Dan from US Is for a man who wants her money. He thinks he's the boss now. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 3:15)

Thirsty (43,578) by Jhonny from Guyana I just hear the new single. It's a great song, I love the beats and sound. Just hopes a hot video goes with the song. Great job Mariah, keep it flowing. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 3:02)

Same old stuff (43,577) by Carol from Spain One thing seems to bother me extremely: why are people commenting constantly on the same things, when all that should and does matter is the music? And the music is good, different and, most importantly: Mariah doesn't get stuck to one melody, one type of songs. Apparently Hit Boy teeted he didn't hear the song until today and he isn't crazy about it, but that's what I like about Mariah: this is her album so, this means the songs reflect her taste, no matter with who she collaborates. So the comments: stop writting "oh it's photoshop" or "oh she is fatter now" and listen. Best advise for some bloggers who pretend to be experts on the matter. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 2:50)

Thirsty is right on the money (43,576) by Carol from Spain Loving Thirsty so much. The profuction, the vocals, the sound, the melody. All of it is absolutly catchy and with a summer feeling attached to it - totally addictive. No idea if I like the version with or without rap. Mariah never ever disapoints. It's about time people realize that. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 2:45)

Blah blah blah, idc what you say, Thirsty is hot (43,575) by Ender (602) from USA You people who love Mariahs ballads, she already gave you some like TAOLG, You're Mine and people who want to hear her in full voice you got Almost Home and #Beautiful. Idc if this song hits #1. I love when Mimi releases r&b/hiphop club songs to add to her catalouge, especially to make her tours more hyped. Why are people acting if this style of music came fom left field from her? Hello what about Migrate? What about Get Your Number? How about To The Floor (which I think should have been a single), or even Obsessed? It's like that and shake it off, so it's not that strange for Mimi to put a song like Thirsty out. Why shouldn't she be able to put our music that she loves? She has stated time and time again that she grew up listening to hip hop, so why should she be restricted from doing it? (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 2:18)

"Me. I am Mariah" so far (43,574) by PJW from The U.K. I just listened to all four tracks we've been given one after the other and you know, so far this is a really good album. It's managing to sound current, the productions on point, the arrangements nice and it still sounds like Mariah, though a very different Mariah than we've ever known. It'll sound stunning on proper speakers. Vocally (in my opinion) this may be her weakest album but if you listen objectively - objective being a key word - and don't expect Daydream esque tonal quality or Merry Christmas lung strength, the vocals sit well on each track. I'm really looking forward to hearing it all in context and definitely excited to hear the rest as it's always the deep cuts I adore. It'd be an understatement to say I'm aware of current popular culture but from what I do know, I don't think this will be sounding like anything out there right now. I can't wait. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 1:54)

Love (43,573) by Trish from USA Loving Thirsty, love the vocal layers, and the vibe of the song, up tempo but not. The lyrics are fun and is a great idea for promo because you know the media will say it's about Nick. Our girl knows what she's doing. When she starts the choruses singing "you". Chills. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 0:26)

Thoughts on Thirsty (43,572) by Marissa from USA If this is interpreted as negativity then so be it, but I wasn't feeling Thirsty at all. It's definitely giving me a Triumphant vibe because it just sounded like there was too much going on in the song. The beat reminds me of "N***** in Paris". This song just felt like an inauthentic attempt to be relevant on the charts. Like J from the USA said, this feels like something some 20 year old would put out. After hearing this, I personally wish she would have gone the more classic hip hop route so she could stand out from the crowd. Will this hype up the gp for the album release? Time will tell. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 23:41)

Thirsty (43,571) by Darryle from USA Forgot to add this to my last post but I love the sound of a drink being poured at the beginning of the song. Matches the title perfectly and shows once again how much time she puts into details. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 23:34)
