^Thank you, np. There are just some who will always think what they want to think, because they're fixated on one act and just can't fathom anyone who is a mega fan of another "diva" being a fan of another. So like, Mimi, I gotta "shake it off..." Incidentally, a song I don't like much at all, but it's a fitting here. ![:d](http://images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif) I actually do like AH (I'd rate it a B) and I will report on commercial performance just as I would for any other "diva" (if no one else does). Mimi's been around for 23 years and had plenty of commercial success- at this point, it doesn't matter if her singles flop into oblivion or add to her count of top 40/top 20/top 10 hits. It would be nice if it adds to her hits count, but the world ain't gonna end if it doesn't become another No. 1 hit- anyone expecting No. 1 hits from her at this point is setting themselves up for disappointment. And that goes for any "diva" veteran.

After a few days, I am completely in love with Almost Home. It's one of those Mimi tracks I can play on repeat, and while I liked Triumphant and a good portion of Memoirs, I haven't had a song like that from her since the E=MC² era, except 100%, which doesn't get enough love around here.

After a few days, I am completely in love with Almost Home. It's been on repeat since it was released. The key change is what makes it for me. That is what needs to happen more often.

I went from like to love now that I have had a chance to take this in further, I like when Mimi goes out of the box this and Right To Dream hit hard for me.......Holidayguy's contribution to this song has NOT been trolling just wanted to throw that out there.

I thought it would be out before then, based on the little preview. Perhaps Mimi will perform it on the March 7 show.

nice. you should really make it viewable on mobile though. that's what most people use for youtube now days. I can't! UMG disabled the feature, but let me keep the song.

Coco Mango's "China Calendar" doesn't lie. You can come back when it goes Top 20. If it doesn't, you can eat your words when she gets #19th before next February. If you disliked the song, and you continually disliked the song, and posted about how much you disliked it, I wouldn't give a crap. I love the charts just as much as you do. Mariah's career to me is like a sport. Plus, she's hot as f**k and is undeniably one of music's greatest voice's of all time. Icing on the cake. You love to see her fail. That's the difference. And you've been trolling for ten years. Have some self-respect. I'm sorry there aren't Celine or Whitney or whoever fans for you to dump on here, but move on. I used to think HolidayGuy was a troll as well, but he's really not, so please lay off. He hasn't said anything negative about this song or its performance. He was merely stating a fact that the song had fallen out of the Itunes top 100, and he rightly said that it will probably return soon. Where is the trolling in that? I know sometimes his comments come off a bit negative at times, but he's just being realistic about how the song's performing chart wise. And he often does talk about certain Mariah songs/albums he likes, and he even on the last said he enjoyed her on Idol. So chill, he's just here because he's interested in the song's performance like the rest of us are. He might not be rooting for her to shoot straight to number 1 like many, but I don't see him rooting for her to fail either. And HolidayGuy is always realistic about his favorite diva as well, be it negative or positive. He doesn't sugar coat anything.

After a few days, I am completely in love with Almost Home. It's been on repeat since it was released. The key change is what makes it for me. That is what needs to happen more often. Or just her singing in that Daydream key more often! I know that during the CB tour, she learned to sing with her "new voice" -- this involved lowering the keys, etc., and she became really comfortable with that lower range. I'm not sure what happened, but around 2009, her upper range started to expand, but her lower mid-range kind of derailed. I think it's because she started training again by herself, and now she's able to hit those higher notes while "belting" or just singing (no head voice) with effortless ease, much like during the Daydream tour. Her lower midrange, as heard on Memoirs, and the first two verses of this, has kind of lost it's richness and sounds a bit dry and nasal, but her upper midrange -- that elastic part of her voice box that was gone for so long -- is back, and it sounds crystal clear. That same part of her register is what allows her to go from singing in full voice to singing in head voice (not whispering) with a fluid, almost unnoticeable transition (as heard at the end of the second verse). Before (98-2009, maybe even 11), it would always sound so weird when she would switch from her regular voice to her head voice ("Mine Again") because there was no "middle ground" between her midrange and her head voice, but now it's like the old days :). So, in sum, yeah, I really hope she uses a lot more of her upper range when she's singing in full voice. I wish I knew what notes I'm talking about, but my piano teacher told me to stop competing in kindergarten, so I don't know notes/can't read music, LOL.

^Thank you, np. There are just some who will always think what they want to think, because they're fixated on one act and just can't fathom anyone who is a mega fan of another "diva" being a fan of another. Oh, come on. I don't want to drag this on, but don't point the finger at me when you're talking about me not liking other divas. The only other "diva" I don't like is Celine Dion because her voice bothers me. I love(d) Janet and I enjoyed a lot of Madonna's music up until American Life (and even a few of the ballads on American Life). I like Kelly Clarkson, I like Pink, I like Beyonce and Kelly -- I like anyone with raw vocal talent. I was saying that's you. The only era you've been realistic about in terms of Madonna is this most recent one. It's not like I think Mariah shits gold. Anyone that was here over the summer that liked "Triumphant" probably wanted to take a steel baseball bat to my head. I just think you're so transparent. It fell out of the Top 100. Whoop dee f**king do. You knew damn well what you were doing -- trying to freak out her hardcore fans, except that doesn't work here because, for the most part, we respect each other's opinions (in this thread, at least)...if you really want to make your mark, go to UKMix...actually, don't, because the last thing we need is more Mariah fans having mental breakdowns over her inability to get this next project together. Can you at least try to refrain from being the bearer of all "told you so"s? For example, Mimi's Greatest Hits reenters the Top 100 or whatever. Nobody gives a s**t about her GH reentering the Top 100, nor are they surprised. Then, a few posts later, if not within the same post, it just MUST be due to her album being discounted. Why does it even matter? Reentering the Top 100 means she sold like 100 albums, if that. Discounting is perfectly normal, especially for Sony ("Loverboy" etc. -- you've proved your point, most of us didn't argue, but enough already). You may like some Mariah songs, but I think you're a Mariah "fan" because you love seeing Mariah fail. You were hardly anywhere to be found during TEOM.

^You're entitled to think what you like. I wasn't pointing the finger- as you made a comment about it, I replied to it. "Freak out her hardcore fans"- in Lord's name what for? Shouldn't people just enjoy the music (if they do)? I surely would hope no one's THAT invested in commercial success and the charts in that they'd "freak out" over something like the reporting a chart positions.
As for Madonna and being realistic- this is the only era? I surely was talking about the lack of commercial potential for singles going as far back as 2003. When the chart writing's on the wall, it is what it is.
And, perhaps this may be a newsflash- but someone can be a fan of an act and not live in threads dedicated to them. Shockingly enough, I enjoy music from multiple acts- but do I live in their threads? No. And I don't appreciate such reasoning for my fandom being presented- love to see her fail? Uh, sure, OK. Again, you're free to think what you like.

SMH... This thread lol what the hell? I cant wait to see where this song will be in about 2 months.. I hope she does lean to the pop direction on a few cuts for the next album. She does sound alot like Daydream era and that was when her voice sounded the best imo. I say bring on more of the immaculate singing that made you Mariah Fkn Carey in the first place.. Thank You

I dont think Holidays rooting against her..hell..if anybody would be..it be me..lol...but i gave up on that a while ago....you have to understand Maonnda fans...even though madonna has sold the most albums...theres something that burns every true madonna fan out there...even though shes had 12#1's...it seem like she has been burnt the most for that dam BBHOT100#1....because of that dam media always pinning her as the bad evil one...and Mariah and Whitney as the darling sweethearts....which i think affected Madonnas chart performance in the 90's and 2000's...a lot of Madonna fans believe she should have as many #1's as the Beatles ..if not more.....Madonna has i think 7 or 8 #2s on the BB Hot 100...so you have to understand were that little bitter seed lays sometimes...Madonna had to fight against everyone like she still has to today...she was never a media darling ..like Mariah..or Whitney...Beyonce..or RiRi...so even though Madonna has sold the most albums..and is called the Queen of Pop...there will always be that bitter seed in every madonna fan..call the BB HOT 100..LOL...anyway...enough of that...i LIKE THIS NEW MARIAH SONG A LOT!!!....i love the way she sound diffrent on it...i say its as great move..and hopefully the album is the same.

It all evens out. She also had #1 singles that shouldn't have been #1 or even peaked as high as #2. And 'most' of her #1 singles weren't huge as far as weeks at #1. So her fans should've been happy with the 12 that she got.

Now that it's confirmed 'You're Mine" is the song they're excited about it and it's a ballad, I really hope (1) it's not the first single, and (2) it's not the JD ballad he way hyping up.

colson- if the chart stats some together, then they deserve the ranking. If you mean in terms of impact/longevity, etc., that's one thing- obviously, No. 2s like "Material Girl" and "Express Yourself" are more notable, culturally and all that, than No. 1s "Who's That Girl" and "This Used to Be My Playground." But, that's here nor there- initial chart success for a single means just that. I was going to comment in a PM, as it's not really relevant to this thread, but, for whatever reason, I am on your block list to receive messages- which is interesting in itself, as we never had correspondence, but in the words of Mimi, whatever. ![](http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0244.gif) As posted on Mimi Daily, Complex Music put together a list of So So Def's 30 best tracks (in conjunction with the 30th anniversary), and these featured: 22. Jermaine Dupri "Sweetheart" (1998) 7. Mariah Carey "My All/Stay Awhile (So So Def Remix)" (1998)
