happy for the success of this song mostly since it was co written by Jordin Sparks . maybe her future music will have this sound as well since she co wrote the song with Sevyn and might work with her again.

I like the song as I listen to it, but once it's over, I forget how it goes. Not catchy enough

Reminds me of a Murder Inc. song, is that beat not a fat joe beat? Love this though and I can definitely see the young Mariah comparisons. Did she almost hit a whistle note at the end?!

Cool song! I like Mac Miller's rap and she sings really well. This is the original song. This song is a huge hip hop classic! They still play it on the Rhythmic radio in my city.

The original is actually "A Little Bit of Love" by Brenda Russell.

The original is actually "A Little Bit of Love" by Brenda Russell. Yes, but 'the way' is more inspired in that hip hop version in my opinion. Even Mac Miller borrows the line ' I'm not a player, I just crush a lot.''

This song has actually really grown on me, and I've been listening to it on repeat for the past few days. I literally cannot believe it's #1 on iTunes, I never expected her or this song to get that kind of a success!! Good for her.

She's going to be on z100 tomorrow morning, after already having stopped by.
I think they're going to add "The Way", and get her career really kick-started.

I wouldn't have checked this out if it wasn't for all these Mariah comparisons I've been reading everywhere online, and wow this does actually scream Mariah (post-Butterfly)! From the vocals to the overall style of the song. Anyway, I really like the song, even though it sounds like something that would've come out in the early 00's.

Well if Mariah isn't going to give us classic Mariah, then this will have to settle for now. I'm getting major throwback R&B/Pop vibes from this, just as I got with Mariah's material from not all that long ago. Loving this, and I'm shocked about it because I didn't think it would click with me as well as it did since Grande's personality kind of annoys the hell out of me. I agree that her voice is pretty thin, but she's probably one of the best vocalists to come out of a kid's network (along with Demi Lovato and maybe one or two others if I thought long and hard?).

The hook (I love the way you make me feel) reminds me of something, but I can't put my finger on it. And no, it's not the Thalia song. It's starting to grow on me.

Sounds similar to Thalia's "I Want You", but not as good. This one is a bit monotone.

Wow, I was not expecting something like this from her. I'm pleasantly surprised at how much I love this on the first listen.

Damn, this totally rips off Mariah vocal stylings. From the breathy vocals to the vocal inflections to the background harmonies to the freaking whistle notes.
This girl is a damn good study.
