Based off of the clip, this is the kind of song Mariah should actually be doing for pop. 'Shake It Off' was already a #1 hit at Pop radio

I hear more Leona than Mariah. They both have light voices, weak lower registers, and extended falsetto registers (the notes at the end of this song weren't whistle, they were high falsetto although she has accessed the whistle register plenty before). Those aren't Mariah characteristics. With that said, Leona's voice never reminded me of Mariah's in any way. Outside of Ariana's ability to access the whistle register, I don't hear any Mariah similarities unless she's intentionally trying it (like this song). If you've ever heard her voice on any other songs, it's nothing like Mariahs (well...maybe a little bit of Charmbracelet/Glitter Mariah).
I am liking the return of strong young female vocalists on pop radio. First Demi, now Ariana. Jordin and JoJo we're all waiting.

Yeah, she's good--but, like Leona good, not Mariah good. But she's doing a pretty nice impression here. Not very sold on the song yet, though.

I like it, too. I immediately thought of the Big Pun song. I wish someone would sample Russel's "So Good, So Right" (the end bit).

I doubt we will ever get another pop release from jojo :( she's into urban now

It's the way the vocals are styled on this song. It's clearly intentional; she's covered Mariah songs in the past and is a big fan.

I was not expecting this kind of bop from Ariana. Color me surprised.

i think she's the next big thing... if she is promoted correctly and given the right songs/composes the right songs to compliment her voice.
not buying the comparisons to Mariah...though I can see where it comes from when she does the dolphin register.

This is Top 20 on iTunes in quite a few other countries, as well. There could really be something here. I hope Republic continues to push it after this week.

The record company should release this to Urban & Rhythmic radio NOW! There is no reason to wait on this. She is so the second coming of Mariah its not even funny!

I can't feel the song. I think it's quite dated and don't get the reason why it's shooting up tp #1 itunes

This mock-up is pretty inaccurate; there's a number of stations that have only given it one spin since the song premiered, and those can't accounted for on AllAccess.

The video is weird. Her movements don't even match the song.

The video is weird. Her movements don't even match the song. Yeah, the timing is slightly off on everything, and the lip-syncing is horrible. It looks like something fast and cheap she shot for her fans. But I heard an interview with her on B96, and she was saying that they might do another video. I really don't think they were prepared for the overall positive feedback from the song or the iTunes positions, especially so instantly.

I just downloaded it from Amazon mp3. Why do they cut out "I just crush a lot" from Mac Miller in the beginning?

She ain't got not an ounce of rhythm in her, she may just be the next Mariah!

The cutesy awkward stiff "act" she does in her videos will get old soon. I checked the video for 'Put Your Hearts' up and it's the exact same thing.
She makes one arthritic princess!

HA! Mac wanted a piece, and she might've given him some. I hope they redo the video..

Wow! The HQ REALLY sounds like a young Mariah Carey! :o This girl has the chops. I still think this is dated and sounds like it comes straight out of 2006, but it is a grower. Could make a small dent. Thrift Shop and Mirrors both sound quite early/mid-00s as well to be fair. I think the sound of that era might be making a comeback to the mainstream. As for the song itself, I really like it. If Rihanna released this, it would be shooting straight to #1 on rhythmic.

The song is nice, nothing special right now but I can see it growing on me. The main reason this is nice to me is the Mariah teas it gives me.

The video isn't anything special so I do hope they bother to re-shoot it. This song has so much potential and it would be a shame if the label decided to not capitalize more on this song. Please shoot a new video and perform it somewhere.

Have you guys hear her cover of "Emotions"? Like Jazzy said, her voice isn't as rich, but her tone is spot on.
