I love this song but, I kind of feel like "Thristy" has more of a chance at getting airplay at different formats since they seem to have waited so long to send this out. Hopefully I'm wrong. and it def. was Mimi's fav. on the album. She made that clear and clearly fought for it. Beating a dead horse now but looks like after a LOT of convincing between the label and most likely other important people in her circle, it finally got through to her (esp. after the 1st week #s which she prob. did NOT see coming) it had the most possible hit potential.

Finally, a Mariah single that's not grossly overrated by everybody on here. This is a jam.

It's great. "Triumphant" was trashed everywhere. "#Beautiful" was praised because it's a great song and was also loved by critics (and the general public, considering it's success). "You're Mine (Eternal)" had a very lukewarm response on this board. So in 2 years she's had one single that most people on Pulse loved... but yes this song is a damn JAM!

She better have a damn good video for this song! I will not have another one of her self petting videos trying to bring this song down. I need to tweet JD and have him have her be on point with that video.

I mean, that'll get people talking again if Mariah does something funny and cheeky like that again!

This and "#Beautiful" are easily Mariah's best singles since "WBT." Heck, I think I even prefer them to "WBT."
This is her best chance at getting at least a minor hit. Hopefully she'll deliver a few more good performances of the song and shoot a decent video. She seemed comfortable performing this on the Today show, so hopefully it won't be a situation like "#Beautiful," in which the live performances were meh at best.

I really don't get why "#Beautiful" is so universally loved on this board. I never liked it. I always thought it was boring and very unmemorable.

Her voice sounds incredible throughout, the beat is hot, and the chorus is very memorable and easy to singalong to. I actually think Mariah should have done her classic single release strategy- this song first, and then #Beautiful as the second single. I think it could have become HUGE hit if it had ridden on the coattails of this. Hoping this will be a big hit for her, she deserves it for her great album.

The thing about WBT is that she's rehashed it more than once, so the impact of the original is lessened somewhat. Sometimes I have to make myself remember how special it was before the lesser cousins came along.
#Beautiful on the other hand sounded modern, with the times, and still classicly her while being new without pandering at a time when most didn't think she could do that. It was pretty much an A+ single out of nowhere after years of material that was albeit strong, but mostly expected and predictable.

I need her to put on some summery , funky top and yellow/pink shorts and lose the heels and just rollerblade in the video all up and down! I need some shots of a waterpark, rollercoaster, hell Mimi just come to toronto and you and I can discuss at "Canada's Wonderland" amusement park!!! This is the summer jam I be bumping too. She needs to go to Summer Jam and Caribanna and get em all the ratchets together.

They need a lyric video, because I have a feeling we're not getting a music video for a couple of months at least.

I certainly hope not, I hope they don't wait 2 months for a video. The song could very well be done on radio at that point.

I have psychic abilities though and am foreseeing a lot of "WHERE IS THE VIDEO? WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR? THIS IS THE WORST ALBUM CAMPAIGN OF ALL TIME." Hopefully those psychic abilities are a little off this morning after only one cup of coffee. As that Anita Baker lady on Twitter who's a Mariah fan says, "Coffee Cups UP!"

I wouldn't necessarily worry about the video for this- great songs don't need a video for them to become a hit. Not to make any comparison, but Ariana's "Problem" became a huge hit before there was any video (and I'm not even saying that is a great song, but still).
What they definitely need is a fun lyric video. Use pictures from the Fantasy video. Use pictures from The Roof video. Let people fall in love with this song.

^^^But Ariana is a consistently strong digital seller (at least so far!) Mariah doesn't have that luxury anymore.
But this song has been stuck in my head all day!!! Anyways, I NEED Thirsty to be a single before this era is over!!!!!

Um..more than a few of you already said or hinted it..wouldn't hold my breath for just about 'anything' at this point lol. But ESP. w/ them going 'all out' and doing a super pricey, state of the art, IMAX quality video lol. I think the least of what needs to be focused on here is the video right now.

Yeah, no matter how good the track is- and it is- it's going to have a tough time, no doubt. But for those who enjoy it, enjoy it, and don't let commercial hurdles impact that enjoyment.

I am not saying make a super pricey video, but damn I don't need to see another let me touch myself in front of you moment. Those moments are best left behind her doors and probably more fun in private anyway. I disagree the video does need a bit more focus than what she has given over the last few singles. Especially given that streams count toward chart positioning, so if she can get high steams and i-tunes sales are decent then that can help perhaps with any reluctance radio might have to play it.

If this doesn't take off and become one of the songs of the summer, I'll lose all faith in pop radio (not that I have much faith in it as is, but still...). It's just so good, and it sounds amazing mixed in with the other tracks on my summer playlist.
