I'm dying to hear this in full. I was at work praying it would have leaked by the time I got out. Hopefully we get to hear it in full very soon... I'm so excited for this!

So powerful and her voice sounds so healthy. I love the beat and the overall freshness, slight Jordin Sparks vibes but even that's not bad. I love everything that's going on with the background vocals. Fantastic and invigorating. 2 days til the full basically! Very happy.

I like it. It definitely doesn't sound like Mariah...it sounds like Mariah singing a Natasha Beddingfield song. The vocals are great. Why the auto-tune, though?

It's not auto-tune...it was pitched and stretched. It has nothing to do with the quality of her voice -- her belting sounds like Daydream. The clarity is unreal. If you listen closely, though, it sounds really mechanical and unnatural, like her vocal was taken and sped up drastically to match the tempo without much of a pitch change. They did the same thing to "Auld Lang Syne." Check it: ge.tt/5lwLsgY/v/0?cCompare: soundcloud.com/mariahcarey-1

Right, it's nowhere near that deep, are people seriously that analytical?

WOW WOW WOW. This is what I've been waiting for!! This sounds so current, very reminiscent of "Diamonds" on the beat/production. I don't think I can wait any longer!!! I hope this will be as amazing as the clip sounds. I've had this on repeat all morning.

Can't listen now, as I'm in the work office, but will do so when I get home.
Hopefully I will like this as much as her last movie single. :)

I'm not ready to anoint this a #1 smash hit after a 30-second preview, but it does sound MUCH more promising than "Triumphant" ever did. The production sounds fresher and much more in line with what's popular. I just hope the lyrics aren't a total cheesefest.

That clip just gave me a headache. I hope it's the last chorus. LOL no it must be the opening of the song , since when does Mimi start a song like that, clearly its the end/climax

Oh brother, can we stop with the CSI analysis of the song and enjoy it for what it is.. Vocal magic!! Yes :). The Third Coming of Mimi. I'm so glad I didn't expect it, either.

Well, if the way the general public has reacted to a clip, including bloggers, hopefully the full song will resonate with such enthusiasm, as well. She needs to be back on radio...... ASAP!!

Are you saying Mariah is a snake?? :O Because this is the year of the snake in the Chinese calendar... I don't think the options have to be major floppage like Triumphant or #1 smash. Another top 10 on the hot 100 and I'll be quite happy

Can definitely hear the production similarity to "Diamonds.' Not sure what I think of the track- she has classic Mimi vocal runs in that snippet, but I need to hear the whole track.

The "Almost Home" snippet sounds pretty good. It seems that "Almost Home" will be a better song than "Triumphant Get 'Em". I also like the sound. It does sound more current than her last single. I wonder when she will have a full album completed. I can't wait.

Can't wait for this song. What other artist has such wide appeal as Mariah? Her (crappy) last single only charted on urban radio. The (stellar) remix went to #1 on dance chart. Next single is sent to Adult Contemporary (and hopefully CHR). Her voice is unparalleled in terms of what she can achieve.
