If the song is hot, the title really doesn't matter. Umbrella is the best example ;)

i hope this title is wrong. what the hell is she thinking?! it sounds so low, so slutty and she ain't no 20 year old ho who stripps in videos. she's dumb! how can she let that happen?! i'm very very disappointed if this is title of her song. and i think it will have no success around the world or even in usa. I'm That Chick You Like is title for artist such as Nicole S. and other ho's who wanna make some success, not for THE Mariah Carey, 37.! I'm MAD! Be mad. That's the most nonsensical paragraph I've read on this site.

Why dont' you give us the same respect in this thread? They said that it was a horrible title and song, that's an opinion. How can anyone say Crank That is a masterpiece or even amazing? That's not being negative- that's being honest. It's a nice song to dance and act stupid to yes, but it's not good in the sense of the word.

Oh, New Mariah!!! So, it's like 1990 all over again. The DIVAs War Reloaded: Janet-Mariah-Madonna (maybe Whitney?) Let's see what Mariah brings us this time... However, the song titles leaking now brings some concerns (Touch My Body ??? ) However, I think some Mariah fans forget that she has already been a bit slutty before. Back to her change of image in Honey, when she dressed down a lot for that era.
And, seriously, I don't think this would be the most Anticipated single. To me, the problem is that Mariah has never been innovative or different. She always play safe (unlike Beyonce, Janet, or even Rihanna or Kelly), so it's almost always the same R&b-stylish type of music, maybe with some rappers sound or a bit dancey tune what she always brings. In any case, I hope that radio checks for quality before the name. I mean, she has many EASY Hot100 and Pop #1s in her history, while other artists with similar or better songs have struggled to get similar radio support/success. That's why she is SOOO big in the US but not elsewhere.

Why the HELL are you trying to discredit Mimi's 17 #1 singles. She deserved every 17 one of them. When Madonna can sing the HELL out of a song like "We Belong Together" then get back at me. Anyway, Mimi is popular worldwide. What the HELL are you smoking? She's one of the biggest pop stars ever!

So when's the album coming out? In April? And didn't 'It's Like That' leak in Mid-January too? They are really trying to mimick TEOM era aren't they? I bet a re-release is scheduled for November too.

I'm assuming this single is going to be mid or uptempo, and I really hope that Mariah brings it because TEOM's success rode mainly on her ballads. Mariah hasn't had a lot of amazing uptempos lately, so I hope this song is a departure from ILT.

Hey, slave4britney, slow down man!!! Not need to use rais your voice or use HELL that much :) We are discussing openly here! And, there is no need to turn this into a Mariah-Madonna war either. I have not tried to compare them at all. They have their own place in music history. I also like Mariah, I have many of her albums, and I was a big fan of hers from Vision of Love to Forever, which is one of her best songs for me, and a song that deserved to be a successful single. My main problem with her came after her change of image and style, and the tactics used to get her #1s. When you have a gem like Fantasy, based on Genious of Love, and then you decide to repeat the same formula with Heartbreaker, there is a sign of lack of creativity... but when you repeat it AGAIN with a much less inspired track like Loverboy, and still manage to get a #2 thanks to boosting discounted sales, that is just wrong to me. Same with other repressed or discounted singles (Thank God I Found You, Don't Foget About Us) and other strategies to market their singles.... (I supposed that is why some of her singles are currently sold at LESS THAN $0.99 at Amazon right now, inlcuding a couple being sold at $0.01 (LMAO!). About international comparisons, Mariah IS big, I just wanted to emphasize that in US she is just HUGE. In UK, she has only had 2 #1, and both of them covers: Without You and Against All Odds. The last one, she even had to rework the original version and add Westlife to get the #1. Precisely, Westlife is the Mariah in the UK in terms of #1: Up there along with The Beatles and Elvis Presley. TO me, that is just overappreciation. Mariah Carey is definitely one of the best singers out there, but IMO nothing to put her that high among the best in history, even surpassing Michael Jackson (!). Of course, all of these IMO... and by the way, I am a Non-smoker and NO!! I'm not going to respond to the Madonna-Mariah comparison. I'm not here to flame the fire of that fanswar. I would only comment about Mariah :)

Oh for crying out loud! Is there any absolute proof that this is the first single? People in here are already making opinions about it before they've even heard it! Have any of you even heard this yet, or are you just trying to see how much bickering you can do and/or declare it a hit before it even hits radio?
I bet if I made a new thread called "Mariah Carey - Poop Your Pants," by tomorrow it'll have 100+ replies with people declaring it the most brilliant song ever, and a bunch of flame posts.

If she could get over the rent-a-rapper stuff and concentrate on getting some great pop songs she would do much better on the world stage.

If the album doesn't drop till April then 1/29 is fine. She and her team will release the 2nd single about 1-2 weeks before the CD drops. I'm still trying to figure out when I want Def Jam to release the single to iTunes. Don't pull a Janet and Nicole and release it the same week the song goes for adds. We need to supress those DOWNLOADS, lol! I want her to get AT LEAST her 18th and 19th #1s with this album.

DON'T judge the song on the title. DON'T. Anyways, Mariah is way creative. Like ILT. We haven't heard another song like that, have we? Plus MIGRATE sounds unique and creative in title. PLUS you haven't heard ANYTHING from this era, so don't deem uncreative until you've actually heard something. So if you hear it and still stick to your opinion, I'll respect it.

And, don't be salty that radio ignored your girl's last album. Now, she's so desperate to get back she's dueting with Justin. Mariah just got back her radio support with the last album, and that was due to good call out. It's not Mariah's fault that Madonna had bad call out w/ her singles for the last album. So, suck it hater.
