TV show theme song (90,861) by Anonymous from I really like the song, like many of Mariah's songs, I have struggled to understand what is said at times, but overall it's the connection I experience when hearing them and of course reading the cd inlays always helped. In this instance, I think Mariah smashed it as a tv show theme song. I take it for what it is. The song fits in with the theme of the show, fun, symbolic and it's a vibe that I love, old skool. The fact that she's singing from the top of her lungs and owning her mixed race ass is enough for me. I can honestly say I'm extremely proud of the message Mariah is trying to promote, which in essence is empowering people to feel comfortable and embrace different types of ethnicity, whatever the mixture is. The song is an added bonus to what the tv show is trying to achieve. Mariah, you get a salute from me gurl. (Thursday 19 September 2019; 22:50)

In the Mix (90,860) by Billy from Greece What a great song. I'm hooked. I have it on replay. I love the groove and the fact that her voice sounds the way we recently heard it on the Caution tour, especially the new texture in her whistles. In fact, I think she kind of premiered the whistles from "In the Mix" in one of the "Emotions" performances on the European leg of the tour, can't remember which one. My only concern again is how well this song can be translated live. At the same time, I don't think people realize how intricate and creative are all the counter-melodies and different layers she has in songs such as this one. Obviously she likes this kind of approach, as I do. If only she can find a way to make it work live in a more dynamic way without falling in the trap of trying to simultaneously sing all the different blending parts. Either way, "In the Mix" is a total winner for me. Love it. (Thursday 19 September 2019; 22:08)

Re: The Enunciation of Mimi (90,859) by Jeff from USA I agree with other posters. I'm having a very hard time understanding what she is singing. I am glad to see that she is branching out a bit by doing new things (creating the theme song for a TV show), but I don't think I'll be adding this song to my playlist.

ITM (90,858) by Lainsky from Philippines The first time I listened to it honestly, I loved it. I agree with those who said that the sound is like the 90s or Glitter era for that was my first thought too. However, as I put it on repeat and got to hear it for several times already, it sounds more like OOC from E=MC2. And yes, it is hard to understand the words she's singing. Thus, I don't love it anymore but still like it. There's that very good vibe in it and the uptempo that we also want from her. As a theme song and not an album cut I have to say it is a really good song with a very positive message. Is it radio friendly? Not really sure. A potential hit? Maybe or maybe not. Just MHO.

Re: The Enunciation of Mimi (90,851) (90,857) by Edward from USA I love the song because it reminds me of 90's Mariah. It was clear she wanted something cool. I also like the beat, but I have to agree with the fact that Mariah's enunciation has been on the decline for some time now. Mariah was a good as Whitney on that department, but she's playing more on Ariana's territory when it comes to that these days. Her voice is not in shape or something to brag about on the track either, but I do love the song. One thing though, knowing the perfectionist that she could be, if this is the way her voice sounds in the studio these days, she might not have much left, but the whistles.

Re: In the mix (90,849) (90,856) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love it by the first listen. Didn't expect that. What a funky song. Reminds me a bit of "Fantasy" and "Glitter". It has the happy sounding I was missing since a while. What a nice surprise from Mariah. (Thursday 19 September 2019; 10:19)

Re: In The Mix (90,852) (90,855) by Tijl from Belgium Hello Randy, I gave it a few runs and I did try to get into it. Underwhelming in my point of view but it is not an "official" MC single either. (Thursday 19 September 2019; 09:57)

Re: In The Mehx (90,843) (90,854) by Licia from USA I agree with her not being featured so much in the video. People will probably still hate it because she has something to do with it, but at least the main focus was the show. (Thursday 19 September 2019; 05:20)

Re: In the mix (90,844) (90,853) by Bill from the UK Well, it's no Can't Let Go, but it's no Crapfinity either. Song is fresh, vibrant and fun, though her voice sounded very odd in the first verse to me. And no offence to Roc and Roe, but their "yeehhhh" was way out of tune. Time will tell if they inherited their mother's musical genes I guess. But I'm thankful this didn't end up on the trash heap with the aforementioned Crapfinity, and its ugly siblings Why You Mad, Infamous, The Star, Can't Say No, Did I Do That, and Boy.

In The Mix (90,852) by Randy from USA I'm glad you all like it. I don't, unfortunately. No pun intended. I think the track/sample is boring and I've hated the way her full voice sounds stretched and raspy since MIAMTEC and I agreed with someone on here who said that I can't understand the lyrics of the hook. (Wednesday 18 September 2019; 23:11)

The Enunciation of Mimi (90,851) by Will from Australia I'm finding it harder and harder to understand what exactly Mariah is saying in her songs these days, like with In The Mix I had to see the lyrics to know. It's been like this for a while now, since maybe the MOAIA era and I'm surprised because she's known as such a perfectionist in the studio. Most of her back catalogue before that I got instantly the majority of what was said (and no I don't need no q tips from Nicki Minaj). I wonder if this is contributing to her declining popularity among non lambs, they just don't know she's singing. (Wednesday 18 September 2019; 22:41)

In the Mix (90,850) by Hector from Mexico I think it's ok. I don't love it. I think she tried to make another Fantasy or Heartbreaker but it falls short. (Wednesday 18 September 2019; 21:25)

In the mix (90,849) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) The song is a delight and fresh. It is definitely giving me that 80’s vibe that made Glitter special and standout. (Wednesday 18 September 2019; 18:15)

Re: In the mix (90,844) (90,848) by Edward from USA I'm pleasantly surprised and loving it. It's like a revitalized Mariah. It's giving me Glitter, the soundtrack, vibes. (Wednesday 18 September 2019; 15:12)

In The Mix (90,847) by B from USA Is giving me Glitter and TEOM vibes. Her vocals sound amazing. I think it is Dev. I hope this is a sign of what's to come. We need a party album. (Wednesday 18 September 2019; 14:49)

In The Mix (90,846) by Terna from Nigeria This song has theme song written all over it, and rightfully so. Lol, but in a good way so that it doesn't come across as cheesy or cliche. I like it. Total 80's bop. I guess "Mixed-ish" is set in the 80's. Mariah sounds good. (Wednesday 18 September 2019; 11:48)

Re: Loverboy stolen sample (90,833) (90,845) by Tijl from Belgium Lifts the song to a different level. Sigh, what could have been. (Wednesday 18 September 2019; 09:52)

Re: In the mix (90,835) (90,844) by Licia from USA I love it. I had my fingers crossed and was praying she'd put forth her best effort because this is something so personal for her. She did good. Bravo to whomever helped to make this happen. I'm extra excited about the show too. It seems like it will be funny. (Wednesday 18 September 2019; 09:10)

In The Mehx (90,843) by Will from Australia Listened to it a few times, nice bop and I like it just because it's new music from Mariah. Not really going to take off though I don't think, just missing that addictive hooks like her other uptempo songs such as Dreamlover, Fantasy, Heartbreaker, It's Like That and Touch My Body have. I'm actually really glad she features very little in the video as I think people who don't like her will not hate on it as much. Is it Christmas yet? (Wednesday 18 September 2019; 05:10)

Re: In the mix (90,835) (90,842) by RibbonB from USA The song is cool, I really like it. Good moments that will be used throughout the show. I do wish the track sounded cleaner. The bass could be been more prominent as in Hot To Be Real, for example. I liked the little guitar solo and wonder if that's Dev Hynes. (Wednesday 18 September 2019; 04:57)

Re: Sorry guys (90,828) (90,841) by Jamie from UK I love Sweetheart. She looks hot in the video and I love the dance version too. (Wednesday 18 September 2019; 03:38)

Re: 4 Minutes (90,837) (90,840) by enwar00 from usa Ugh. I barely remember that concert. I wish I had more memories of it. And there's no DVD or anything to help remember it with. But leave it to the magic of YouTube, I just found some audio clips. I do remember her performing Now That I Know which should have been a single. Overall though I guess maybe I just prefer her softer vocals from Daydream and Butterfly. I feel like those two are the closest to each other. (Wednesday 18 September 2019; 02:05)

(90,839) by Sean from United States Hey lambily. Please go check out my new remix of Mariah's r&b classic "Babydoll". Let me know what you think. (Wednesday 18 September 2019; 01:13)

Re: Extra vocals (90,829) (90,838) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Wow. (Tuesday 17 September 2019; 23:20)

Re: 4 Minutes (90,832) (90,837) by Bill from the UK Probably the same reason she didn't tour Europe for the Music Box tour. She said at the time touring put a huge strain on her voice so she very rarely did it back then. (Tuesday 17 September 2019; 19:07)
