The song is good but would have never stood a chance at being an Oscar contender. It's too generic and cliched lyrically. Not to mention cheesy; especially the chorus and hook. On the upside, the production is top-notch and her vocals are clear, crisp, and strong.

The vocal on 100% devours everything on Memoirs, my mind is just blown. Mariah Carey, ladies and gentlemen!

100% is the shit! If it was on Memoirs, it would be one of my favorites for sure. But there's no way it would get an Oscar nom, LOL.

why does every body hate 'the impossible'.. the true r&b gem.
why doesn't anyone complain about 'inseparable'.. it feels like the same thing all over again

'she shoulda put 100% instead of the impossible'.. and that really bothers me! glad to see some people with good taste. layin in the bed bumpin jodeci ♪ you did the impossible, yeah!

The song is good but would have never stood a chance at being an Oscar contender. It's too generic and cliched lyrically. Not to mention cheesy; especially the chorus and hook. On the upside, the production is top-notch and her vocals are clear, crisp, and strong. How is generic, cliche or cheesy? It's an inspirational themed song. That would mean every other song out there is generic, cliche & cheesy then, seeing as most songs on Top 40 are about love. Why does "inspirational" = cheesy/generic/cliche? It doesn't. The song is very strong + her vocal performance is incredible.

It must be a single (maybe from the re-edition)

Only "cheesy" if you have a hard time feeling things. Neither this or Angel Cry is cheesy.

I don't know how a straight guy doesn't find these lyrics cheesy as hell:
Lightning don't strike The same place twice When you and I said goodbye I felt the angels cry True love's a gift But we let it drift In a storm Every night I feel the angels cry
It is cheesy.
Geez, what an army Mariah has got here.
OH PUUUUH-LEASE.

^ that's why I have the hardest time believing Mariah has straight male fans (I know none here in Brazil, and I know a lot of fans) because she is so campy and cheesy.
I do believe Mariah can write really good lyrics as she has done before, but I find those two extremely generic and cheesy. But that's just my opinion, of course.

Check back with us tomorrow when we'll give you an exclusive first look at Mariah's video for her smash single I Want To Know What Love Is.
The video was directed by Hype Williams and was shot in New York and features Mariah's fans and the True Worship Church Choir.
If you watched Mariah on Oprah, you'll definitely recognize some of Mariah's biggest fans!

I can assure that Mariah does have lots of straight male fans (i'm one of them!). My guys friends (all straight & happily married with kids) have been Mariah's fans since 1990-1991. I guess it depends on your circles of friends....i mean if you're gay (I have nothing againts them. lol) you'll tend to mingle mostly with the gays and vice versa....

Complete cheese. The vocals are good, but can she sing it live? Hmmm.
This is seriously as cheesy as The Climb, WTF.

Eh, I'm not feeling 100% much. Maybe it's the low quality of the clip, or the incessant voice-over "You're listening to...", but it sounds like a slightly better version of "Bye Bye" to me. So, yeah, I'm glad they left it off the album.

So anything with obvious lyrics that's not necessarily "deep" is cheesy? Thank God I don't live in the world of other people's boundaries. Both Angels Cry and 100% are heartfelt, that's what I get.
