That's what I get, tho, when I listen to DJs mixing live, where a ballad isn't going to get ANY play.

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 21 April 2005 16:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I remember reading that she basically switched the first single a bunch of times at first, "It's Like That" was the 3rd attempt and the one that ultimately took off and got a video and everything.

― Al (sitcom), Thursday, 21 April 2005 16:46 (twenty-one years ago)

"we belong together" was released as a 12-inch single at least six weeks ago -- way before "it's like that."

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Thursday, 21 April 2005 16:57 (twenty-one years ago)

YOU'RE ALL WRONG - "vision of love" was mariah's first single.

― j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 21 April 2005 16:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Huh. I think I first heard "It's Like That" 6 weeks ago! (My timetable w/ singles, tho, is so out of whack, so "6 weeks" might be "3 weeks".) (& I assume that, if I did hear it, it was courtesy of a pre-release leak.)

Hi, Blount!

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 21 April 2005 17:02 (twenty-one years ago)

gah, semantics. I don't know when "It's Like That" was out on 12" but it's been on the radio to some degree since at least January. in the public mind it's been the lead single, is all I was saying.

― Al (sitcom), Thursday, 21 April 2005 17:04 (twenty-one years ago)

"A third song from Mariah Carey's upcoming album, The Emancipation of Mimi, has been leaked, only this one has the makings of a radio hit. "It's Like That," featuring Jermaine Dupri, is getting play on urban radio stations in New York, Chicago and Dallas so far, though there's no word yet from Carey's label if this song will eventually be released as a single. ..."

say somethin' was the other leaked track.

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Thursday, 21 April 2005 17:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd love to know when it ("Bacardi / party") first popped up, tho.

Bingoboys - "How to Dance" maybe??

Debuted at #1. And sold 404k. Yeowza.

two months pass...

yancey is totally otm about 'We Belong Together'. how amazing! I never expected it to be THAT good. I'm going to track down Mimi asap.

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 4 July 2005 17:27 (twenty years ago)

it's the album of the year. easily.

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Monday, 11 July 2005 19:10 (twenty years ago)

The needless gesticulation-synchronized melismata during her Live 8 performance made me pine for a flame-spewing meteorite to fall from the heavens, crushing her in a warble-silencing cataclysm.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 11 July 2005 19:19 (twenty years ago)

alex, i love you, but i thought she was great.

― Jams Murphy (ystrickler), Monday, 11 July 2005 19:23 (twenty years ago)

She was much, much, much better on the VMAs than she was on the BET Awards.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 11 July 2005 19:27 (twenty years ago)

WBT instantly washes out the bad taste left by "It's Like That". Does my heart good to see Mariah on top again.

And yeah, she was fab at Live8 and the VMAs.

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Monday, 11 July 2005 19:32 (twenty years ago)

"It's Like That" is pretty great Bill!

I like this whole album a lot. The first time I bought it and listened through I was disappointed, but its grown on me immensely. I just don't understand why the advance I downloaded ages ago had that awesome extra bonus cut "Secret Love" produced by Swizz Beats that was CRUELLY cut from the final tracklist! Damn you!

I also love how the Dupri-Nelly imitation song samples "Just an Illusion" which is my jam.

― deej.., Monday, 11 July 2005 20:13 (twenty years ago)

that track is pretty good, yeah.

i like Rainbow

― Surmounter, Friday, 12 September 2008 22:49 (seventeen years ago)

how bout that cover of Take a look at me now?

― Surmounter, Friday, 12 September 2008 22:49 (seventeen years ago)

Rainbow and Glitter are the only two albums of hers I can listen to ... major portions of. I guess Butterfly has its moments too.

― Eric H., Saturday, 13 September 2008 01:24 (seventeen years ago)

i did not know you liked rainbow :)

― Surmounter, Saturday, 13 September 2008 01:43 (seventeen years ago)

I met Mariah back stage one day and fucked her in her ass. She absolutely loved it and asked me to do it to her again after the show. She really does have a small, skinny ass and I wish she would clean it more often.

"Liked" is going a little bit far, but I can corroborate The Rev's story.

― Eric H., Saturday, 13 September 2008 02:29 (seventeen years ago)

haha pasted from upthread

the whole Butterfly album is worthwhile, very much so.

Dear lord. I had to listen to that butchering of "Without You" the other day (that was her, wasn't it?). I shall pretend the question was not asked.

this is a really unfortunate statement

― janice (surm), Friday, 30 July 2010 17:55 (fifteen years ago)

Destroy: "Dream Lover". Oh, look. Everything detestable about Mariah in one handy package. How convenient.

this is also very troubling. one of the great classics.

― janice (surm), Friday, 30 July 2010 17:56 (fifteen years ago)

i should stop now before i get too down on life.

― janice (surm), Friday, 30 July 2010 17:56 (fifteen years ago)

it's the only thing i really like by her but this. "the roof" (song & video) is just the most gorgeous thing eva.

― prolego, Friday, 30 July 2010 18:03 (fifteen years ago)

OMG RIGHT

― janice (surm), Friday, 30 July 2010 18:04 (fifteen years ago)

the roof... i can't even. one night i heard it drifting out of my bedroom when i didn't really know the album well and i was like WAHT IS THIS THING. her voice!!

― janice (surm), Friday, 30 July 2010 18:05 (fifteen years ago)

:( @ top of this thread, :) @ bottom

― peacocks, Friday, 30 July 2010 18:15 (fifteen years ago)

i think the most perfect way to hear "the roof" would be drifting across summer night air from another room or flat
