About B from USA: Slowly but surely®™ The Vindication of B ®™ "There are people called haters and we give them positivity" MC

Re: Promo plan (84,566) (84,568) by B from USA All we know is she's releasing an album later this year that will include GTFO and With You. (Monday 8 October 2018; 23:55)

GTFO (84,556) by B from USA Let's put things into perspective, in less than a month GTFO has 4.6 millions views on YouTube while You're Mine (Eternal) which was released 4 and a half years ago only has 10 million views. (Monday 8 October 2018; 19:33)

Re: Not trying for charts (84,540) (84,541) by B from USA Do you use Instagram or Twitter? GTFO did go viral. There are thousands of GTFO memes and gifs and as the press release for With You states the streams and views are increasing at a steady pace so I'd say it's accomplished exactly what it was intended to do and then some. (Monday 8 October 2018; 14:30)

Re: Billboard Hot R&B Songs (84,508) (84,518) by B from USA GTFO was a buzz song that was only promoted by Mariah on her social media accounts and during her iHeart performance. Other than that its recieved absolutely no support or promotion. Wasn't you praising the song just a few weeks ago? (Monday 8 October 2018; 01:55)

Re: BT (84,499) (84,517) by B from USA I'd say most straight guys fell in love Mariah during that era, lol. Referencing Breakdown in With You was a stroke of genius as it's considered by most R&B fans as her best song. (Monday 8 October 2018; 01:49)

Re: Billboard Hot R&B Songs (84,508) (84,516) by B from USA It took Havana months before catching on. The streams and views of GTFO are increasing at steady pace. With You has a Clear Channel deal and outside of this board has been and is being well received. (Monday 8 October 2018; 01:45)

Re: Billboard Hot R&B Songs (84,510) (84,515) by B from USA I think Epic, Mariah, and Roc Nation assumed GTFO would just go viral and are pleasantly suprised by its continued success which is mention in the press release for With You. I'd say they'll continue to push both at different formats. (Monday 8 October 2018; 01:41)

With You (84,509) by B from USA Here's a link to the official press release for With You. (Sunday 7 October 2018; 21:26)

Re: Maybe it's time to pass the pen (84,480) (84,503) by B from USA Agreed. Besides, after producing Celine's My Heart Will Go On and winning the Grammy for non-classical producer of the year he's faded into obscurity and only makes headlines when discussing his past work with Mariah or when he attempts to shade her by saying she makes up words and fails (abandonedly and emblazone). Mariah should have her good friend Santa Claus bring Waler a thesaurus for Christmas. (Sunday 7 October 2018; 17:15)

Billboard Hot R&B Songs (84,473) by B from USA GTFO debuted at #23 on Billboard's Hot R&B Songs chart last week. (Sunday 7 October 2018; 04:03)

With You (84,472) by B from USA Uproxx praises With You as a breathy, piano-led R&B number and Mariah referencing Usher's Confessions and The Roof. Billboard praises With You as a sultry and inviting. Highlighting the finger-snap beat and Carey's voice being front and center. Spin praises With You as a satisfying and wistful slice of classic Carey-esque R&B. Also highlighting DJ Mustard production. NPR praises With You, especially it's structure and lyrics, as having that timeless Carey touch. Highlighting the pre-chorus nod to Breakdown. With You is being praised by critics and yet according to the consensus on this board it's an uninspired hybrid of We Belong Together and Love Story that is a poor choice as a single. Can someone please explain the disconnect? Personally. I love both songs and I'm looking forward to Mariah's new album. Call me crazy or delusional I don't care, lol. I hated Triumphant and thought it was a horrible song and single choice because it was and not even the vintage remix was able to redeem it. (Sunday 7 October 2018; 03:32)

Re: Maybe it's time to pass the pen (84,464) (84,471) by B from USA If Reid was at Epic Mariah would be releasing a standards album or a duets album. He views her solely as a legacy artist. Shortly after his firing Mariah's deal was renegotiated and from the press release from Epic regarding GTFO and With You whoever is now in charge at Epic now views Mariah as a viable act. (Sunday 7 October 2018; 02:32)

Re: Single cover / lukewarm reception to With You (84,457) (84,458) by B from USA I think With You was chosen because it sounds like everything else on the radio at the moment production wise and because of its catchy repeative hook. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 21:00)

Re: With You radio airplay (84,444) (84,456) by B from USA My local station which isn't affiliated with Clear Channel played With You twice yesterday. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 20:53)

Re: Give it a rest (84,449) (84,454) by B from USA Mariah sings [censored] and people lose their damn minds, lol. I don't mind the profanity. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 20:42)

Re: AMA performance of With You (84,451) (84,453) by B from USA We won't have another NYE debacle. It's obvious Stella sabotaged Mariah's performance hoping the press coverage of the snafu would be a ratings boon to Mariah's World and E. would order a second season. She used even used the debacle to get Billboard to publish a profile on her they'd been sitting on. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 20:37)

With You (84,414) by B from USA If we spent half as much time watching and streaming Mariah's music as we so do complaining about everything about her With You would be her 19th #1. GTFO and With You are definitely a step in the right direction and are perfect songs to reintroduce Mariah to the masses. Both songs are current and have catchy hooks. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 01:11)

Re: Oh for fx sakes (84,394) (84,412) by B from USA Rumor has it it's a Drake collaboration. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 01:04)

Re: Oh for fx sakes (84,409) (84,411) by B from USA She's only used profanity in three songs #Beautiful, GTFO, and With You. It's not that deep. (Saturday 6 October 2018; 01:03)

MC 15 (84,388) by B from USA According to several sites Mariah and Drake collaborated on a song for her new album. I'm loving With You but I wonder why they chose it over the Drake feature? (Friday 5 October 2018; 15:50)

Rolling Stone review (84,387) by B from USA Rolling Stone gave With You a positive review. (Friday 5 October 2018; 15:43)

Mariah Carey's best awards show performances (84,386) by B from USA Billboard ranked Mariah's best award show performances. Several of my favorites made the list. Mariah's performance of If Only You Knew/Somewhere Over The Rainbow at the 1998 Essence Awards, Vision of Love at the 1991 Grammy's, We Belong Together/Fly Like A Bird at the 2006 Grammy's, and Emotions at the 1991 VMA's. (Friday 5 October 2018; 15:25)

Re: With You about Nick Cannon? (84,323) (84,359) by B from USA I believe it's about Brian saving her from making a huge mistake by marrying Packer. We all know that the gazebo scene in the series finale of Mariah's World was staged but I think that it was a reenactment of a real conversation. The fact that they're still together lends credence to this theory. (Friday 5 October 2018; 03:35)

Re: With You 5 stars song (84,322) (84,358) by B from USA I love the ooh, shots of Remy playing Confessions and our bodies are blendin part too. (Friday 5 October 2018; 03:30)

Re: GTFO should had been an official single (84,329) (84,357) by B from USA It's still gaining momentum. The views are increasing at a steady pace. (Friday 5 October 2018; 03:28)
