In reply to JARED (WHITE DUDE).

Looking at the producers of the last 3 albums - we can safely say that all Miss Mariah was missing was Mr. Big Jim (In my opinion most ofl the quality tracks, if we're talking about "real" music over hype music, from EOM were produced my Mr. Big Jim Wright.) ... and her biggest mistake was over-utilizing The Dream and Jermaine Dupri.

I've been eyeing Miguel for the past couple of years, I'm happy Mariah spotted him out. She tends to stick to what (and who) she likes, so maybe more of him will show up on the album and less of the ratcheedness that some of those Hype producers were serving up.

At any rate, #Beautiful is played out and lacks substantive lyrics that one can thoroughly enjoy. What made it a success was it's simplicity, which is also its downfall (regardless of the chart-topping, paid-for-airtime ratings that it has garnered). So she better hurry up with the rest the goods 'cuz a bitch is THIRSTY!

I digress.
