And it officially begins…
‘Triumphant’, The lead single from Mariah Carey’s hotly anticipated comeback campaign, premiered literally moments ago.
Teased in earnest, you can now listen to the Rick Ross and Meek Mill assisted cut after the jump…

Ur right about TRIFLOPANT (4GET’HER) this song is not good at all. DOn’t get me wrong, I’m a hufe mariah fan, but this song sucks, but I still can’t wait for the album. TEOM was a once in a lifetime kind of thing. She always trying to release an album that’s going to rival TEOM but it’s not working. She needs to let that album be and try to produce an album that’s different from that. Even the COVER of Triumphant is like TEOM!!! Come on Mariah, you can do better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As much as I love Mariah Carey… this single needs to stay a buzz single… The beat is amazing and the lyrics are strong but it feels more of her being featured on Rick Ross and Meek Mill track then the other way around… The song is still better than anything these “singers” out now put out

she thinks she doesn’t have to promote because she’s mariah, but she forgets she not the young singer she was in the 90s, she’s 43 and the older she gets the more people are going to go and find another artist. Even tho no singer can compare to her, you still have GREAT artists out there and whether the lambys like it or not she’s either gonna hit or miss…simple as that!

This is the type of music that the young kids are buying these days.. Stop asking her to release “hero part 2″ when the state of popular music is not trying to really hear that now. This is a cool 1st single that will appeal to the younger Drake, Nicki, Wayne, Ricky type crowd and of course she will have her core fan base and then next will come a deeper song.. She’s the biggest selling female of all time yall givin her advice like she doesnt know wtf she is doin. And Mariah has done singles like this before where she was more of the guest feature, for example “Don’t Stop” feat Mystikal… Go MC

I would slit tires for Mariah, but it felt like most of the other fans. It feels like its Rick Ross Meek mill featuring Mariah. Nevertheless, her voice sounds very rich and rested. Hopefully this isn’t the official single. But, also we must remember lots of vocals on the radio is not what is selling. So this could be a sort of experiment from Camp Mariah. Regardless, I’ll look forward to hearing more tracks. #mcforever

It’s not up to par. Lead singles are supposed to make a statement and kick off the era with a bang and, even though it’s far from a bad song, it just falls short. If it was just her with no features, if the beat was replaced by a beautiful piano-led instrumental and if she had written some lyrically powerful verses, it would have been great, but from what I can hear, I think it’s average. She can do MUCH better than this.

It’s not great but it’s not terrible either. I would prefer more Mariah and less rapping. Cut Officer Ricky out completely. Good for a buzz single. I want a power ballad as the first single with her range at full display. I dont care if it doesnt appeal to radio and younger audience

The song is OK.
I give it 3 or less Stars.
This is not her first single, I can just feel it.
This was a Rick Ross & Meek Mills song.
Mariah was just a guest.
I’m looking forward to her Official First Single, and I hope the single is fast and she shows her STRONG VOCALS on it. I need another Fantasy. Or if she want to do a Ballad, then she needs to give me Always Be My Baby teas.

Why are you guys so worried about chart positions? Who cares, at least she didn’t abandon her RnB fanbase just to get a #1 hit like many others have done. If she releasd a dance/pop song everybody and there momma would’ve had a heart attack. Everybody is quick to say RnB is dying and that someone needs to bring it back but when somebody releases an RnB track you guys are still complaining.

I’m SO disappointed. I love Mariah. But I just can’t get into this song. Meek Mill & Ross are pretty annoying to me, I’m impatiently waiting to hear Mariah’s voice! And like everyone else said, she barely appears on her LEAD single. The beat would be okay, maybe Mariah could’ve saved the song, if she had done it all by herself?
I still love her.

I have been a fan of Mariah’s for most of my life, but I haven’t been moved by her music in years. I consider The Emancipation of Mimi her last great album. I thought it would be the jolt needed to restart her pop and R&B domination, but everything since has been disappointing. E=MC2 was a let-down, and each successive release seems to get worse. This is by far my least favorite single she has ever released, and I was tempted to turn it off before it was finished. Mariah needs to focus on American Idol, where the skills that made her one of music’s brightest stars can be put to good use. I am happy she is moving away from the recording studio, because she is capable of so much more than she is releasing.

This song is not going to be on pop radio, mark my words. It’s AWFUL. Pop is in a dance phase now and this song sounds like 2003 garbage. Mariah is a better artist than this and she sounds like a featured guest. What happened to the girl with the best pipes on the planet? Mariah just beat Madonna as a great female legend who released a horrible lead single this year.

QUESTION: What is soooo wrong about the fact that she sounds like a feature??? She is the QUEEN and can pretty much do what she wants. I actually think it’s very different and new and of course WE ALL should look at this as a teaser because the album is sure to be filled with many other tracks; many being solo. I am excited just to hear the return of THE VOICE!!!! But of course, I’m the type of person who knows how to judge what is presented to me rather than what I thought it should have been! Rick & Meek sound great on this beat and Mariah is uplifting every time she sings…Rather it does good on the charts or not….Welcome Back MiMi

It’s a nice song, but I’m not sure if an inspirational song was a wise choice for the summer.
I give Mariah major props for sticking to her roots, and not jumping on the pop/dance/techno sound like other R&B artists are doing now just to garner a hit and sell records. Mariah is like R. Kelly, they both have yet to sell out. MJB is another one.
I think this is just a buzz single because her album is not complete yet. I’m guessing the album will drop in the next few months, probably closer to her AI gig.
And how can folks say that this won’t be a hit on urban radio? Are you all nuts? This song is gonna smash on urban radio, but not on pop. This song is way too urban for pop radio, and that is exactly how Mariah wanted it.
Memoirs had no cross-over appeal because the album was hardcore R&B, and was
way too urban for pop radio which is why the singles weren’t well received except I think Obsessed was an actual hit but that could been because of the controversy that surrounded the song.
Don’t ever underestimate Mariah’s status as an R&B artist because she is one of the most successful R&B acts of all time. Just look at the BB stats.

LOL really now? This song if she took the lead role on it would not be half bad but she sounds like a feature in her own song. This is a woman we have not heard from in a number of years. It’s not like she releases music often enough for ppl to say well this is just something new she’s trying. This is her retune after a hiatus.
MC has been quite successfu for a number of reasons one of which is her vocal ability. I can say a lot against her but she can actually sing that’s for sure. MC is playing her lane. Ppl should always do that. Some R&B artists have always had Pop, Dance elements in their music. And some as you have righfully stated, are bandwagon jumpers trying to compete with a much young generation of artists. In the Pop world, Madonna comes to mind. And I am a long time fan of hers but its just the truth!

Had any other artist released trash like this everyone would be saying(flop,wack,not good,sucks)
I swear the double standards. This song sounds like a throwaway from e=mc2
the fact that the two guest overshadow her,the vocals are lazy (she can’t sing in full voice and hasn’t been able to since about 2004…
She has earned her place but that doesn’t mean she can release garbage.
Plus isn’t she damn near 50? Bad enough Madge is terrifying ppl all over with pre-Christ age vagina while singing songs better suited for teens.
Here’s hoping A.I take s the idea of an album away from her…

2. Mariah Carey Feat. Rick Ross & Meek Mill —Triumphant (Get ‘Em) – Vintage Throwback Remix 3:54
3. Mariah Carey Feat. Rick Ross & Meek Mill —Triumphant (Get ‘Em) – Explicit 04:10
The ‘Vintage Throwback Remix’ of “Triumphant” is described as “commercial, with new Mariah vocals & no rappers” & is compared to Usher’s recent work.

Mariah isn’t featured really till about 2 minutes into the song. When you finally get to that point, you’re so incredibly bored by the inane rapping in the beginning that you can barely stand to hear the rest of the song.
I like Mariah a lot, but if you told me this was a throw-away track from E=MC2, I would believe it. It’s so unremarkable.
