LOL. Oh well, they'll get over it. We're about a week or so away from amazon clips. I think I'm gonna just go ahead and listen to 'em.

Hey-- lemme introduce myself. I been lurking around this board for the past few weeks getting Mariah info, but thought I should start posting! I've been a fan since Daydream, and around the Mariah Online community since it began around that time. So anyways, I noticed everybody had been posting what Mariah had sent them on twitter, so I thought I'd share mine! Back in March, Mariah was asking everybody what their favorite songs were, and what we would like to see her do. I told her that I loved "babydoll" and that I would hope she would do something kinda like Aaliyah's sound in "One In A Million." And here's what she wrote back, (I've never shared this until now )  |

If there is anything on Memoirs which sounds like One In A Million, I'll be in heaven.

This album sounds like classic and we've only heard parts of 4 songs.

Well this was March--- For some reason I feel like "Candy Bling" may have that Aaliyah feel with the laid back groove.
Also, do we know if "They Don't Know About Me" is going to be on the album? That beat kinda reminded me of an Aaliyah like beat.

That beat kinda reminded me of an Aaliyah like beat. That's very possible. "Candy Bling" was specifically compared to both "Underneath the Stars" and Aaliyah. |

Well, I loved "They Don't Know About Me." I thought it had a lot of great oppritunities for Mariah to do some cool background harmonies. And if she wrote a new 2nd verse or something, it would be hot. Maybe it'll be a bonus track. I don't care if it's on the album, I just want an mp3 of her singing it :)

Honestly, until we got the higher quality clip of "IWTKWLI" I wasn't really feeling it. Now I am, but all my non-Mariah fan friends fell in love with it instantly. Honestly, I was kind of down on it, but they started telling me to snap out of it cause they liked it. LOL So that may be a pretty good sign. At least among my circle of friends |

I think the general public likes it, at least those that have heard it. |

Honestly, I'm not in love with I Want To Know What Love Is but I do like it. It's probably receiving a ton of plays from me currently because it's the only thing new (fresh) from Memoirs outside of Obsessed.

I expected for a choir to come out like they did for "Fly Like A Bird" did at the Grammy's. I was expecting this big climax, but got left with bl*e balls. LOL That's honestly how I felt after the first listen.

The ending floored me from the first time, chills and the whole nine yards. It's a real solid record with some potential on it's hands.

Yeah, I think it will do good. Cause I was telling my aunts about it, and they were in their teen's and 20's in the 80's, and they seemed interested. So if it comes on radio, and people hear it at random, it may take them back to what they were doing in life when the original song was out. So they could already be pre-diposed to liking it :)

it's catchy...been stuck in my head 4 a while. i just don't like how it goes from r&b to hit or miss gospel theme and then ends all of a sudden lol. it made me think they were trying to appeal to multiple formats in just a 3 minute song (seems poorly arranged) but that's just me. but hey like i said it gets stuck in your head.
