Go Mariah!

In the states, there's a lot of hype for the UK's own Leona Lewis putting her up against Mariah Carey - people are debating who is better. Well, we've had Leona for a while so as a quick poll: Leona's new one or this one? YOU decide!!

    Its a good job mariah can sing otherwise she'd be gettin written off by me. The song's ok, but the video is nothing special and just in typical mariah carey style: hair blowin all over the place, caressin her body, rollin all over the place half naked, struttin around in tight little numbers and enagaging with the camera with her 'come to bed' eyes. Definitely one for the fellas!

    Well you either loathe her or love her really. I gladly confess to belong to the latter category. The thing with this song is that it does exactly what it says on the tin. It's not trying to be a big soulful ballad, nor is it trying to be serious in any shape or form. Mariah says it’s a fun song and the video accompanies it well. It’s a change to seeing the same old dreary ‘gotta be serious’ rubbish you get from other artists. I really don’t get the whole ‘hating’ fuss at all. I think the new album will blow out the recent albums by the likes or Mary J and Alicia Keys right out of the water.

    Don't hate on Mariah!! She's on fire! I'm LOVING this song , can't wait to hear the album!!!! It's so easy to hate and criticise people who are talented. I cannot sing to save my life but if i had mariahs voice i would also flaunt what I have. She is a true talent who has been through so much. Why should she have to wallow with depressing songs , she's been there done that and has the footage to prove it. Now she is 'emacipated' leave the girl alone and let her enjoy it!!!

    I like the song, but I just don't understand what the hell the video is about!! I hate videos which are just so up their own backsides that there's no clear storyline. The song is good though and although I do like Leona Lewis she needs to find her own style. The record company need to stop touting her as the next 'this' and the next 'that;. She needs to find her own voice and musical style instead of putting her voice to ballads which would be more at home in the 80s. Look - even Mariah's moved on from there!

    I love how mariah doesn't take herself seriously in the slightest, I'm not sure everyone gets her humour but i totally do, she's been making fun of the media portrayal of her for many years now.Song is great too. Cant wait for the album apparently its on fire...

    However anal Mariah may be there's really no comp between her and Leona 'who aint that amazing' lewis. To be honest I dont like how either of them SCREECH at the top of their voice and this song is so typically same-y Mariah type. But hey she shows a bit of leg and breast that always seems to get her far, the Male fans must love it!! x x x

    for goodness sake, i am soooo bored of looking at Mariah Carey's playboy photoshoot videos with wat can barely be described as music.
    Songs and videos by Mariah of recent memory have lacked soul, talent and creativity - which is what Mariah was all about back in the day. theres no doubt that she can sing, but i think she should pack up shop and leave....
    if leona is to be the girl who kicks mariah off her pedastool then i say "GO GIRL" leona has an amazing voice and her songs have some meaning!! i hope that leona does become what mariah and many other talented females have, in the future!!! hold on to your soul leona!!!

    Im not hot on this song but I do think Mariah is an amazing singer. Shes done the ballad thing and has done a wide variety of songs, with many hits. If she continued to do ballads, it would be boring, u cant do the same thing again and again. And to even compare her to Leona is an insult because Leona is a little girl in the game and has alot to aspire to, to be like Mariah. When Leona has been around for years an had hit after hit then yeah I will rate her. But I honestly dont beleive Leona has the same incredible voice that Mariah has. Mariah's voice can make ur body tingle, there is just something about her voice that noone can match. Yea Leona is a great singer too but way too hyped up. Its just because shes a british singer with a good voice thats all. And I bloody hate that bleeding love song, I honestly think its crap!
