LOOOOL @ the drink pouring sound effect intro. Anyway this is kind of.... perfect? I love how the undeniable club beat just melts into a Butterfly-esque hook. I love how Rich Homie Quan doesn't drown her out either; he seems like the guest here. Unlike "Triumphant" or to a lesser extent "#Beautiful" we KNOW this is definitely Mariah's home. Anyway this is totally going to be "Migrate" Part II with the label's suppression already kicking into gear. ![:-X](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/lipssealed.png) ???

I think he means that it's similar to how Migrate was supposed to be a single but due to not-so-favorable responses from the blogosphere after Mariah premiered it on SNL, it was dropped quickly. I'm not quite sure how that applies to Thirsty though (if the label is indeed releasing something else as the official single instead), especially when this song has been getting favorable mention thus far.

Its OK. It's like "Migrate" Pt. II. She's too old for these ratchet bops.

I absolutely hate what they did to her voice in this. It's pretty catchy though.

It took me a couple listens to get into it, but I love it now! I don't care for that production loop in the background (it sounds like grunting). I do love all the layered vocals and the hot ratchet production!
Even if this is not a "planned single", they should let it run its course a little and then push it.

She is so late with this song. This is basically Ni****s in Paris. She too old to be 3 years late. She looks real thirsty.

The song was recorded 2 years ago in it's original form so that's part of the reason it sounds so dated. Would have been much more current if they released it back then.

LOL @ she's too old. Girl bye, she's 44 not 80. And she's not talking about twerking and making it rain in the cluh. This is a relationship song.

I had to listen to this song several times to form an opinion on it.
I do think it sounds pretty dated, but after reading what Lanida pointed out about it being recorded years ago, it makes sense. It sounds like a B-Side to "Obsessed." I think adding Quan to it was "thirsty."
My biggest issue with this song is the quality of the sound. Unless I got a really shitty rip of it, Mariah sounds like she was singing with a pillow over her mouth. However, when I listened to it in the car today, it sounded hot!
Overall, it's probably my favorite single attempt from this project so far. Love the lyrics, and the vocals on the hook and the bridge are glorious. But honestly, this sounds like a generic flop from Kelly Rowland or somebody. Mariah is better than this.

The harmonies in the chorus and the melismas at the end give me life.
