Mariah's New Single — Love It or Leave It?

The first single from Mariah Carey's anticipated E=MC² album hit the airwaves on Florida radio station Wild 95.5 today, but it's maybe missing some of her signature sound. "Touch My Body" is an upbeat ballad but the lyrics are a little laughable. Example: "I'll hug your body tighter than my favorite jeans." What do you think of Mariah's new single — love it or leave it?

    Don't care for this song, I felt like the beat was one of those that were "Pre-Set" on my piano. Normally I do like her music, but I'll pass on this particular song.

    I'm so over Mariah right now. She was really good when she first came out, and the best thing about her was her incredible talent.

    As of at least 5 years ago, she is the highest paid "video ho" out there right now. When she gets puts her clothes back on, turns off that damned wind machine and gets back to just making the great music that she knows she can make, then I'll be willing to listen.

    Well, if it were on in the background, I wouldn't try to kill myself or anything.

    I love it. It's catchy! Granted, I like it more when she actually sings. She's looking great for being nearly forty, though!

    It's such a shame that a person with an amazing gift like Mariah doesn't even use it. Instead of flexing her vocals with what she's best at, she uses it for Britney-like moans and whispery raps. Please, take me back to the early to mid-90's when she was still worth a damn.

    Well, Mariah's never really been known for writing brilliant lyrics, but why is she pulling a Britney here? She has the voice! She should use it!! What the heck is up with MC? This song should be on Heidi Montag's cd; it's that laughable.

    Hopefully the next song released will be better...actually, I hope that she rethinks this one.

    I don't love it but I don't hate it. The tempo was a bit strange to me but the song might grow on me. We will see Smiling

    I just don't like her anymore. Her old stuff, like "Always Be My Baby" and "Hero" are great; she just doesn't have it anymore.

    It's cute, but I'd wish she used her amazing voice more than just with those talking/singing songs.

    This is decent, but, not anywhere as good as her other stuff. I don't hate it. However, I don't love it either.

    I love this song, its stuck in my head already... I think i like it so much because it is different... the Lyrics arent " oh i'll love you" blah blah like normal, theyre light and funny.. " catch this flick on youtube" lol. Shes brilliant. I cant wait to hear more of this album.

    I'm a fan but I don't care for this. Someone said it would be like We Belong Together and it's not even close. It sounds techno. I'm with smootchick. She is much more talented than this. No wonder they have been pushing this back. Plus the title of the album, E=MC2. I get it but a lot of people won't identify with it. Yeah, what will the rest be like?

    Please don't tell me that this is going to be playing on the radio every ten songs for the next few months. I got the heebie jeebies every time she sang, "I will hunt you down." Can you imagine that part being a ringtone?

    She's not known for writing brilliant music? Give me a break.. she writes all of her songs, and is the best selling music artist. How can she not write music well? And as for the song, I'd have to give it time to get used to. It's ok... not what I expected, but it's different.

    and most of you people are being biased towards her image... just because she's not the "old" mariah doesn't mean she doesn't have what it takes.

    I'm excited for her comeback, but I think I've heard this song before...amongst her previous songs.
