Okay, heres my look on it. Im like the biggest Mariah Carey fan i know [lol] and im a STRAIGHT guy you know. If you look at Mariah's work from the past, best example being Butterfly, she really didnt have the depth lyrically that she had on that album. Like people really felt her songs before because they were deep, they like touched people. Honestly this was a good concept but its wack compared to her other work. Dont get me wrong i still listen to the song but it isnt up to par with what shes able to do. Honestly i think she should go back at what i think is her best album, Butterfly. There was what i thought all potential #1's [i.e, Breakdown, Whenever You Call, Honey]. It was like the perfect blend of R&B, Soul, and a hip hop feel to. There are some songs on her newest LP that are hit-worthy [ex. Cruise Control, Side Effects, and Love Story]. If she were to come out with Love Story, i think she should make it an acoustic version, but thats because i like the acoustic version lol. Basically if she goes back lyrically and performance wise, she'll be back to the Mariah we all know and (still) love
