Now this is the kind of ballad Mariah needed to have on her album. This is definitely a mix of both The-Dream's signature sound and Mariah's signature sound. It's hot. I'm still not sure why they didn't just wait to push this as the second single though. I guess maybe they're aiming for big downloads.

Maybe after this becomes a hit , migrate can take over..

This sounds exactly like at least 5 other songs that have come out in recent years. I don't think this will be a hit.

This is pretty good. Better than anything on Mariah's last album, anyway.

^This song doesn't hold a candle to most the songs on E=MC2, but...ok. I expected much better; however, I hope its a hit any way because I adore both artists. I think I would enjoy it more if Mariah wasn't belting on the second chorus & saved all that for the last one.
It'll probably grow on me, though.

Did they seriously just take WBT, change the pitch and lyrics slightly, and add a rapper, then release it without expecting us to notice?!?!

This goes for mainstream adds on 1/27 while Rockin' That Thang goes for adds on 2/3. That's strange. The Dream hasn't had any massive hits on mainstream, yet he's releasing 2 at once.

I like the song, but is it just me or does Mariah sound really bad on it? Like Charmbracelet bad.  |

Around here, any black male who does urban music is a rapper.  |

I wonder when this will be #1. I think it's only a matter of time before this hits #1.

I would love for this to go #1. I have no doubt of it being huge on rhythmic/urban, but I think selling it to CHR will be a stretch, but it could work.

It sounds exactly like We Belong Together. It's not bad though.

It does sound a lot like WBT, which could hurt it, depending on how much the general listener realizes they're kind of listening to the same 4 year old song. |

I'm talking in terms of the Hot 100.
TMB got to #1 because of sales and this should be able to do the same. I think this is far superior to TMB.

It sounds exactly like We Belong Together. Yeah. Even though it uses the same chords, I think it's better than the other three "We Belong Together" retreads she's released in the past few years. |
