Apparently we'll have the video this week!
Here's a pic from the set

So it looks like its going to have a boxing theme, which could be a stroke of marketing genius with sport being such a big thing right now because of the Olympics.
Hope we get the video soon! !!

The song has been bumped back to a buzz single.
Apparently it is no longer the first single of the album but just a buzz single, I am a huge Mariah fan and I must admit this has made me so happy.

i'm very dissapointed as a long time fan I couldn't wait to hear it but it's mariah featured on her own song.
I don't agree that she should have to do ballads all the time.
Some of my favourite mariah tracks are uptempos such as
emotions,dreamlover,now that I know,fantasy,it's like that.
It's just this is an average r n b mid-tempo song which is a good album track but not a lead single.
I don't see it doing well outside the U.S not unless there is a dance remix of it I really hope the album isn't memoirs part 2.
Merry Christmas II you wasn't bad but she hasn't had a career high since emanicpation of mimi.
I loved the singles from E=mc2 especially bye bye & IBLUTLT
but they weren't promoted that well I know i've said it before on here but I wish she'd do an MTV unplugged style old skool album maybe an etta james song?.

Translates as "seen the negative reaction to the song so backtracking "

Yea I like the video. Its very slick and Mariah looks amazing. I like the part where she is in the ring with the mic and throwing some punches. Nick is getting better with every video he directs.

I have to be honest, I love love love Mariah but this video isn't it.
I can't see it being played often and it was pretty boring, however she did look amazing in it!!

She should have Nick directing her videos, he ain't good at it.

I hope the next single will be much better and do much better.

I kinda like it.

Nothing groundbreaking, but she looks great and her vocals are good

Hoping for a 'My All' type ballad next though!

I love this when she actually sings, I can't bear the rapping, she turned her first single in ages into a mess. She was the feature on her own single, and the video was strange. Like close ups of the first rapper, and then they just shoot her from afar and almost underneath her. I mean her hair looked good, but it could have been so much better if she actually sang the verses and not just the chorus, and you could see her face.

I love this but I expect more from her for her next release. I mean I literally want to **** my pants when I hear it. A ballad would be preferred!

Emancipation was a return to form E=MC2 was tolerable Memoirs just dire and as for Triumphant what in the world was she thinking she does not appear ist like one of her features its just awful the throwback vintage is so good i mean not great but a better first single than this utter tosh i mean Mimi waht happened.

What about everything she's done in between then? Should she have just released VOL over and over for the past 22 years?

It's a shame people can't accept change.

Well no they are saying that how can someone start off so well and end up releasing this rubbish i'm all for change Butterfly her most urban and far an away her best but everything after that save for Emancipation has been just dire E=MC2 was passable the rest a bargain bin embarrassment and the less said of Triumphant the better its not about change its about quality.

It is not rubbish, embarassing or for the bargin bin. Those are just your opinions.

You don't like it, fine, but there are others who do. There are even some who prefer her latest stuff to her early work.

Well i think the vast majority would agree the quality of her earlier work is far and beyond that of her latter releases yes its my opinion but Triumphant stands as a testament in my mind to her endless decline as an artist.

I mean a so called solo single on which she hardly appears at all

Hang on, I'm not denying or tarnishing her work inbetween these songs. My favourite song ever is We Belong Together... What I am saying is musically, Triumphant is a long page from Vision of Love's quality. I do like Triumphant, but let's not pretend it's something as incredible as Vision of Love, Always Be My Baby, Honey and the like.

It's a wrap,Hate u & Langushing were really good but the rest of the album was forgettable E=mc2 was a mixed bag.
I really hope the new album is better than the single I feel sad too that she can't even write/tell what a good song is.
I'm not saying she should do bubblegum pop if she prefers
r n b but at least make it good memorable not forgettable music.
