Mariah Carey "Bye Bye"

[blahblahblah]

Second single from her album, produced by Stargate and co-written by Johnta Austin. It's another midtempo, but I definitely like it much more than "Touch My Body."

I like how in the end of the "Touch My Body" video she was like, "The download speed was killing me. PLEASE tell me that you updated to 802.11n!"

I'm really feeling this track. Just terrific! Fantastic vocals. My girl Mimi is doing her thang.

I really enjoy pop music right now, the true talents are rearing their beautiful heads. Which is certainly the case with Mariah, she is so darn sexy and attractive hands down! ;D

I've avoided this for the longest time, but I heard it like a week ago and tried to tune it out, but I heard it again yesterday and nearly lost my lunch. The lyrics are soooo horribly stupid, I can't even imagine the person or ppl writing this. "This is for my people's that have lost a grandma.." Oh my gosh. The vocals are nothing special, it's the same boring old s*** that she's been releasing forever, then the exact same set up at the end of the song. Ugh it was horrible!!

Eventhough it is a song made for entertaining the masses. Singing and/or writing about the passing of a loved one(s) should never ever require rocket science, otherwise it is absolutely insensitive to the person (performer or writer) in sorrow. The song was based on the death of Mariah's father dedicated to fans who lost loved one. The content alone gets a free pass from me. Death can be a bit for someone to cope with as it is, don't you think? Who the heck am I to ever question the way someone should grieve?

I think Mariah, Johnta Austin and Stargate was going for a relatability factor. But, I do agree that the song is vocally too safe for Mariah which may explain why it hasn't done spectacular.
