Big ballad (43,545) by Licia from USA Did people really think a song named "Thirsty" was going to be a ballad? Seriously? Of all the songs on the tracklist Thirsty is the last song I would think would be a ballad or even a mid tempo song. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 19:11)

Sounds of Summer (43,544) by Mara from United States Sorry but this song is hot. I can imagine hearing this walking the boardwalk or driving with the windows down. I am no teenager and I think it appeals to me and the younger people that are buying the music today. Some people are just never satisfied. Everyone was saying she needs to release Thirsty and how excited for a club song they were, how we didn't need another slow one, well, what did you think a song with the title Thirsty would sound like? It's a new term the younger kids are using and Mariah is a business woman. She knows what she is doing. I think she can never seem to please everyone. The song is a grower, listen to it a few times before you come on here and bash it or make a final opinion. Imagine hearing it on the radio a lot. Minds will change. Mariah clearly got some things off her chest with the lyrics of this song. How anyone can question who this song is about is beyond me. I love it. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 19:06)

Divalamb (43,543) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I completely agree. If I remember currently half of this board was begging Mariah to release the hit boy track. There were numerous posts asking for Thirsty to be released since the day Mariah mentioned it on the radio interview. People were well aware that this was a club banger and has been trashing Mariah for not releasing a up beat song to take over summer, followed by mourning the non-release of Migrate. So now when she finally does what you all ask for you just can't be satisfied. One can't claim that she has been releasing the same type of songs from this album and say that this album will suck, she has bad songs. Nope, on the contrary, she has been releasing different types of songs. The raw ballads, the 70s throwback, the rnb and now the club banger. I don't think anything she releases will satisfy some people here. I liked both versions of the song. Others complaining about the production, well it's a club song, obviously we should expect heavy production. It's frustrating to hear lambs dissing everything she releases. You guys can't decide whether you want a ballad, a club song, an rnb/hip hop track or whatever. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 18:57)

This is why Mariah wanted to not release a single (43,542) by Me. I am Carly from USA I just can't anymore, laughing so hard at people saying she promised big ballads and thirsty is R&B silly rabbit, the album isn't out yet, you don't have a clue what is or isn't on it. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 18:45)

Shezz from Pk (43,541) by Gilbert from USA What's funny is that is the version I've been listening to this whole time. I heard a guy in the background but i didn't hear any rapping. What we all need to do is just agree to disagree here, I was so surprised from all the negative responses and it's only been out less than an hour or so (at least since I've heard it) and I think it's a really great song compared to what's been released. I support it. Thirsty Thirsty Thirsty. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 18:44)

Here comes the negativity (43,540) by Sunshine Divalamb from Germany Some should really be ashamed. It's not only the song some of you are negative about but about almost everything, maybe some should think to find another artist to admire because it's getting old, you just already know beforehand who is going to be the first to complain smh. I have no problem that some are negative, but the song isn't even out for 24 hours or that we heard a clean clear version and you are already bashing it into the ground. Mariah is a perfectionist and some songs need some listens before you love it, but to throw it in the trash like some are doing is not showing that you are a fan at all. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 18:25)

Okay so who is Thirsty about? (43,539) by TR from USA Eminem? Lol. But seriously. I can imagine it's about Nick, but probably not haha. Definitely ain't about Derek, Luis, or Tommy. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 18:12)

Thirsty album version (43,538) by Shezz from Pk Ok so this is the album version, revolt.tv has it up. Definitely liking Mimi being the only one featured. Cant get the chorus out of my head but there are a lot of parts that non lambs will find incoherent. Power 105 played the remix. Not complaining but I wish there were more parts of full voice singing. Top 20 material. Which is great for Mariah considering what's been happening. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 18:08)

Paul from the USA and Nina from the USA (43,537) by Carlos Jaramillo from USA I'm with you, guys. I was so excited when she mentioned that "this album would have a lot more raw ballads than most people would expect" because it just got me thinking, will this be the album I've been waiting for since Butterfly (because, even though TEOM was amazing, her "ballads" there were more, hiphop/R&B'ish vs. the full instrumentation driven ballads she conjured in the 90's). These last few songs she's put out, though not chart toppers, and people talking a lot of caca about them, I really appreciated. It brought back Mariah the "singer". Thirsty is totally Triumphant 2.0 though, it's actually a good "song". It's just not a "Mariah song", and that's what worries me. She has become a music "machine" and not in the positive sense. I miss her. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 18:00)

Thirsty (43,536) by Alonzo from US You can listen to the rap free version here. I personally like it better than the rap version. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 17:51)

Thirsty cover (43,535) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The cover art for Thirsty (which I saw on Mariah Carey Network) I guess is from the You're Mine music video. She's wearing the same cloth covering the lower half of her body and has a chest covered. I think I noticed the top in the video too but she pretended she was topless. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 17:43)

I rather see Mariah flop with quality music than her following trends (43,534) by J from USA Sorry but Thirsty was dry. What is this? You all are happy because it reminds you of Migrate? This isn't 2008 anymore. I'm not one of those fans that is never satisfied but this is not the music I want from Mariah. This song does not sound any different from what is out on radio right now in the R&B field. Mariah doesn't have anything to prove anymore but in her mind she does. She wants to remain relevant, she wants to have a hit but at what cost? Where is the Mariah who was relatable in her music? Almost Home, TAOLG flopped but I prefer those songs to anything out on the radio because they have a message, that is quality music right there. I am still supporting this album but judging from the 3 songs that have been released I already know this album will be another attempt at Mariah seeking relevancy on the charts. I don't have an issue either with Mariah being sexy at 44, if you got it flaunt it, but this isn't the type of music a 44 year old woman should be making, talking like she's 20. Leave that crap for Rihanna or Ariana. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 17:42)

Thirsty (43,533) by 123 from USA Just what the doctor ordered. I love the beat and the catchy hook. I love the harmonies with the layered vocals. It's a great summer song. Shocked to see people not likening it, considering everyone complained that the borefest Migrate was never released. This is light years better. It is just one song, a club song at that. There won't be a big vocal on it. There is a no rap version were her vocals are a lot clearer, listening to it now. I actually liked the rap feature, unexpected but he fit on the song. Bring on the album. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 17:42)

Thirsty (43,532) by Elena from The Netherlands Thirsty yes. Love the hook, the lyrics, the beat. Well done MC. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 17:29)

Thirsty (43,531) by Gilbert from USA I want to buy this so I can bounce it in my car. I love the beat and the hook is nice. Love it. Mariah made Thirsty for me because I'm always thirsty. Lol. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 17:27)

Thirsty is so hot / lyrics (43,530) by Me. I am Carly from USA The lyrics clearly about Nick are freaking A+. I could not find a correct lyric sheet so I posted my take on my page Church of Mariah on Facebook, so "take off your headphones and act like you see". P.S. Excited to hear this on Today show, can't wait. I won a VIP pass from Team Mariah. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 17:24)

Thirsty (43,529) by Brad from USA Meh. Not what I was looking for. It kind of sounds like several songs shuffled into one. Toward the end she starts to actually sing a bit but I think I would have preferred the mid-tempo, throw back RnB slow burner that obviously it was originally recorded to be. The beat and refrain is obviously added to make it seem more radio/club friendly. I'm not Thirsty but will offer a toast to hoping there's something deeper, more mature, evolved, refined, challenging and overall refreshing about the rest of the offerings on the new album. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 17:08)

Thirsty (43,528) by TR from USA I love it. I need to see the lyrics, but I love the beat/production and vocals (especially the last note). The hook sounds straight out of the 90s. I feel like this album will be full of radio friendly songs. That's what she needs to push this era. Emancipation and Butterfly were both loaded with them. Anyway, can't stop listening. Great work MC. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 17:05)

And we bring them positivity (43,527) by Roman from USA Anybody who can get on a message board and immediately diss "Thirsty" is not a true fan. Even when Miss Mariah gives me something I'm not a fan of I secretly withhold my disappointment and await the elusive chanteuse to deliver something I love. That being said, anybody who is a true fan of Mariah's music knows her music is not made for the first time listener. There is actually complexity to the music she makes. Even if it's an uptempo hip hop banger. What I love most about Mariah's music is letting Mariah take me where she wants to go musically. Mariah's songs are growers and that has always been the problem because Mariah's songs need airplay. Image, persona, music videos, none of it would matter if Mariah's songs just had more turns. They'd all be hits. On my last note to the weary fans, Mariah works very hard on her music and like a child she puts it on display for all the world to see. To jump out the gate with criticism and negativity is hurtful and sometimes jarring to her loyal fans and I'm sure even at times, Mariah herself. Think before you spread negativity. Just saying. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 17:03)

New song (43,526) by Licia from USA There is a version with just her and it sounds kind of bland. It's slowed down a little more. I like the rap version better. The one with just her will be on the album from what I understand. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 16:57)

Thirsty (43,525) by Billy from England, UK I think this is one of her worst songs ever. I do not like it one bit, sorry Mariah. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 16:45)

Thirsty (43,524) by G.G. from USA Not feeling it. Triumphant, #Beautiful, The Art Of Letting Go, You're Mine(Eternal) and Thirsty. Five different songs. The only one I loved is #Beautiful. I'm sort of scared to hear the rest of the album. I think Mariah needs to take a break and get new people to work with. New PR, manager, writing team. In my opinion she needs help in the writing department now. She uses the same "formula" over and over again and it's not working anymore. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 16:41)

Let down (43,523) by George Golden from UK I would have loved to say I loved it but... (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 16:34)

Fanbase (43,522) by George Golden from UK Just heared a bit of "Thirsty".I dont know what to make of it. It's the hip hop thing I dont get at all. Why is she still doing all this hip hop bouncy tracks? Beautiful was amazing and fresh sound and direction for her. I will buy the album because I love Mariah, but I am sad to say Mariah can not connect to the general public this way. I don't know why she has become like this. Does Mariah even know the demograph of her fanbase? (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 16:29)

Paul (43,521) by Will from England Lol, the song isn't about "splashes" at all. It's about someone who dumped her to strive for their own dreams, instead they ended up looking desperate, or in this case, thirsty to achieve the same level of success that Mariah has. "The best thing that happened to your a$$ was me" pretty much sums it up. (Tuesday 13 May 2014; 16:23)
