When Columbia would and could no longer support Mariah's #1 streak with Crybaby/Can't Take That Away failing miserably at radio and on the charts, Mariah decided to jump ship to Virgin. For this first release, Virgin may be slapping themselves hard in the face for such a high investment in someone who could hardly produce anything original enough.

With hardly any talent than her overstretched multi-octave voicem, Mariah sounds trite 11 years in the business. As a Mariah-usual, she returns to Honey-Heartbreaker, adds a little sampling from Cameo's Candy, put some unlistenable hooks and created a horrible and OVERLAYEREDpiece of crap. She started out as a 20-year-old girl singing mature and sappy love songs and has since evolved into a 31-year-old woman singing about puppy love. Oh god, how ironic, Mariah never progresses, only regresses.


Worst Song of her Career   July 20, 2001

This song is simply terrible. I can see why it is bombing on the charts because it has no melody or any other redeeming value. Since she is not being guided by her ex-husband at her old record label, the quality of her work has sunk to an all time low. Now we know who was really pulling the strings all along....What a dud...This song justifies a 0 star ranking being added to the rating selector!

This single is priced at (I won't say "selling for", cause that may not neccessarily be the case) 49 cents in some stores. It's not hard to see why! I listened to it on the Internet just out of curiosity cause I've heard it's so useless. And guess what!? It is!! It's basically just a jumble of sounds and warblings, "Oh baby"s etc. You cannot sing along to it, you cannot sing it in your head, you cannot remember what the tune was after you've heard it, because there is no tune. What was she thinking? It's rubbish. I am not denying that the girl can sing - she has a brilliant voice and has had some fantastic singles in the past. But this heap of garbage will not be added to the list. People only defend it because they are longtime Mariah fans - but hello, they know it's junk, or else they have hearing problems?? Oh, but the person who said that also said "Loverboy" was a good single - I guess you must have a hearing problem then! Sorry, just my opinion!! PS I only rated this song one star cause you can't do zero, unfortunately!!


Continues Mariah's Downward Spiral   July 26, 2001

The Mariah obsessed fans really need to look at this song more objectively. I agree with the others that this song in no way is melodic or catchy. It is just a bunch of sounds and Mariah's cooing and ahhing, etc. If her intent was to completely shed herself of her pop past, then she has succeeded. She continues to aspire to her supposed "hip-hop" leanings by using guest rappers, etc. She really should leave the hip hop to the real artists. After Daydream, it seems like each succeeding album is getting worse and worse. Or maybe, it is after she left her sugardaddy Tommy Mottola.

[....] Anyway, this non-song indicates that Mariah's lost it completely. And that's without the trailer-trash video. In that she seems to be aspiring to Samantha Fox-like greatness. Best of luck. This is truly horrible. If this is any indication of what Glitter will be like then we should all be afriad; very afraid.
