Can someone explain the constant lifting. The songs do not talk about higher ground, or reaching to the sky, or lift me up to higher places. The lift does not add theatrics to the performance. I just don't understand why the lifts are implemented. They seem so out of place. On another note, if Mariah's album fails, blame L.A. Reid. All these failed albums are under his watch: Memoirs, Discipline, and Just Whitney. The worst thing he could have done for Just Whitney is approved the Diane Sawyer interview. And the dumbest thing he could have done for Memoirs, is approved a beef song with Eminem (master of beefs). I think that beef set a negative tone for the entire album. L.A. Reid is the common thread here.
