I think the adoption of some elements of Mariah law is inevitable

Oh OK, I give in, this is the new Mariah Carey single "Touch My Body" and supposedly it's done by the dudes who brought you "Umbrella" - NOW will the comments flow?

I want to comment but haven't heard it yet! I am totally amped for her album - called E=MC² of all things. Because Mariah is all you need for energy. I love that she's gone mad in the good way now (as opposed to the nervous breakdown way).

The-Dream is quite an interesting figure right now - he also wrote J Holiday's 'Bed', 'Stay Down' and 'Just Fine' off the new Mary J album, according to wikipedia Sugababes' 'Gotta Be You' and Brooke Valentine's 'Ghetto Superstarz' as well. His own album veers with astonishing rapidity from AMAZING to TERRIBLE - the single 'Falsetto' is one of the most irritating things to have come out of r&b in recent memory but 'Ditch That' and 'She Needs My Love' and 'Livin' A Lie' are u&k. I haven't made up my mind about #Shawty Is Da Shit' yet, it's kind of o_O really

I like this! It's quite R Kelly-like in the vocal phrasing - I do like that stoccato singing style very much as it really picks out bonkers lyrics for me (I have trouble picking up on them otherwise). For example: "If there's a camera up in here/Then I'd best not catch this flick/On YouTube, Youtuuuube!" Awesome.

Meh. That sounds like Mariah Carey doing not a lot. The bonkers lyrics are good but it doesn't do it for me in the same way something like 'We Belong Together' did. Then again she can't release that kind of overblown luncay all the time I suppose but still.

THIS IS AMAZING. I love the crazy bitch so much.
