After many listening my conclusions:

 

1. it was a rushed idea

2. Mariah’s vocals were probably good, but the mixing with Ariana was bad

3. Mariah’s voice was made louder than she originally recorded

4. I feel like Mariah hasn’t heard the final version

5. the song sounds diffferent on AirPods than in the car or TV box 

exactly, it's a missed opportunity for a collab tbh

Y’all. As an Arianator and Lamb before even being an Arianator, this remix is just… not what I’d hoped it would be. I’m actually relieved Mariah filled out the chorus and made Ariana’s voice sound fuller. It needed that. But Mariah’s verse……….. GIRL :deadbanana2:

Yes and? Who are you to judge mother Mariah? If she decided to be loud, then you listen to it and allow your ears to be blessed. 

:rip: No, I'm good thanks. I'll continue listening to the original.

I gave this another stream after everyone said the mix had been fixed... :biblio: Mimi is still LOUD as hell.

I feel like I've been tricked into giving it an extra stream. Well played, lambs. :suburban:

I think most people aren't familiar with how Mariah sounds recently. She doesn't sound the same she used to. Her voice has become thicker and huskier. See her recent live performances, her audio book vocals, COVID era studio vocals, 'Save the day' and 'Big energy remix' .

The thing is that Mariah on her OWN records has not sounded this way at all. It sounds rushed and forced. Mariah is a master at vocal production, she could’ve done her regular whisper vocals, fixed up certain arrangements and made this song such a gem. It sounds like Ariana sent Mariah the track and asked Mariah to do whatever she wanted with it last minute. I love them so much and they are my faves, but it does not show their strengths at all and it could’ve been so much better :jonny6:.

 

Still gonna stream tho lmao.

Absolutely, and also the fact that some people expected the type of remix Mariah used to do back then, where she would re-record and basically create an entirely new song, when she hasn't even done that since what, the 2000s ? So I understand the disappointment, and also the messy vocal mixing didn't help either.

Yall tricked me into giving this a second stream. The mixing does sound better but that wasn't the only issue with the remix tbh. Still a boot I fear!

 

The fact that it did +2M streams is surprising :toofunny3:

I still remember Mariah got mad when 'The art of letting go' was first released. Someone in her team put the wrong version and she immediately fixed it with a public statement the next day. I'm inclined to believe this is Ariana's team being incompetent or maybe Mariah doesn't give a f*** anymore.

And for those of you wanting an RnB Mariah, here is her most recent one which you may not be aware of. This is better than YAR.

The mix is much better but we’re still gonna need a DJ mix at this point. Mariah needs to wait for her verse and the more subdued parts of the chorus. 😭 Especially because Ariana did not re-record vocals.

I really wish she was dropping the second single next Friday. It's been crickets since January 12th and this was obviously not good enough to hold anyone over or carry any sort of hype and momentum. We'll listen anyway but damn sis, get us a little bit excited

Why couldn't they release this mix before? Who approved the whole thing? Two of the biggest stars dealing with such mess... in 2024?
