This song is cute. Y'all are too hard on Mimi and Miguel. The song sounds more like something off of Kaleidoscope Dream.
Yassss tell them
UM...
I LOVE #beautiful!!!!!
Urban is gonna love this shit!!!
Stan for the basic anthem of 2013.
Is Rihanna the only person who knows how to launch a lead single?
67. Mariah Carey - #Beautiful (feat. Miguel)
Pull those wigs my queen.
Wow @ that Mariah Carey song. Hew's surprised though?
Is Rihanna the only person who knows how to launch a lead single?
Apprently the title is actually "****in' Beautiful" but the hashtag is a self censor. I can't at the brilliance.

These delusions tho#icant at the last good lead single from an album being "Diamonds".
USA Today: "Wouldn't you know, the single kinda lives up to its name. For the first verse or so, you wouldn't know it was a Carey track, though: It begins with a simple, twangy guitar lick that sounds like something Steve Cropper might have dreamed up for Carla Thomas back in the day, and Miguel is the main voice until the minute-thirty mark. After that, though, Carey sounds like her own personal girl group. In fact, it's that Stax/Motown throwback sound that makes #Beautiful such a winner. It's a return to form for Carey, but in a completely unexpected way."
PopCrush: "The song is stripped down pop — there’s no heavy duty production, no vocal editing, no post-recorded sheen. The vocals, melodies and harmonies shine, as well they should, seeing as one of the best singers to ever live and one of the best singers in the current game are teaming up... Carey is back to her best form: Radio-ready pop that still has the R&B flavor she enjoys dipping into so much (and sometimes too much, based on sales). With its combination of edgy lyrics and a traditional sound, ‘Beautiful’ is just that: Beautiful.
New York Magazine: "Song of Summer 2013: Mariah Carey and Miguel Would Like Your Attention. Well, this is a game-changer: Not only is Miguel and Mariah Carey's duet very good — in both a vintage Mariah and a legitimately summery sort of way — but it has an actual hashtag in the title. (Yes, Will.I.Am did it first, but did you really care?) True fact: The only thing cooler than mysterious French guys in shiny helmets is enjoyable music with built-in Twitter jokes. So here is "#Beautiful," your newest Song of Summer contender and the reason your aunt will be calling in three weeks to ask about hashtags. "
I was going to say Ride but that was released on September 25th.Falling
Get Lucky
Heart Attack
Ride
Die Young
Suit & Tie
Closer
Here's To Never Growing Up
These are the only lead singles I can think of that hit since Diamonds.
I will not comment on whether I think DMJ's assertion is correcT.
(I think the songs that DMJ listed were released prior to Diamonds so I suppose those don't count)
off the top of my head:
"Girl on Fire" lol
"We are Never Getting Back Together" lol
"Locked out of Heaven" lol
"Suit and Tie" lol
"Here's to Never Growing Up" lol
"Live While We're Young" lol
"Grown Woman"
"Burqa"
Yeah, I stand by my initial assessment.

Locked Out Of Heaven is fantastic, are you high?
Then there's Q.U.E.E.N., Closer, Work, Losing You, Die Young, Ride, Anything Could Happen, etc etc etc
Yeah, your fave is so special for putting out a great track as a lead single.
LOOH is a bop, but icant at you trying it with "Die Young", "Work", or "Anything Could Happen". like
work is perfection, yall are doing the most
Huh? Miguel is releasing a new album so soon? Beautiful sounds pretty good for a leadsingle.
You said it yourself that it was basic until you forgot to take your meds
or stopped eating carbs
This is Mariah's song. It's not his lead single. He has some EPs coming down the line though IIRC.
what is it with you and meds
what with how often you talk about them, I'm beginning to think you may have some prescriptions of your own

Rosie O'Donnell said:Rihanna rocked Brooklyn - that girl can move - and sing !!
Where is Mariah's iTunes banner?
Are Justin, Taylor, Rihanna, and St!nk the only ones who get iTunes banners on launch?
What is with that basic production, Mimi?
Miguel's voice >>>>>>
I love how Mariah found a way to simulate her old voice in the song.
Well, it's #27 and rising. Let's see what happens.
