Mariah Carey debuts brand new song "You don't know what to do" and restores faith to the children

Miming Mimi's "Thirsty" has barely been on the scene 10 minutes, but already Mariah has debuted another brand new single from her album Me. I am delusional - aptly titled "You don't know what to do", as it's becoming ever more apparent that nobody in Mariah's camp knows how the hell to market this new album and what to do with the singles.

The one good thing to take out of the reveal of this new song is really good. REALLY good. If anybody in Mariah's team had a clue between them, they would have released "You don't know what to do" as a single instead of "Thirsty". I've been spinning this constantly for hours.


Miming Mimi's live performance wasn't that bad, mainly because she mimed most of the song. I would not pay any money to see Mariah perform, because she's awful live these days. However, I would have paid to see this particular performance, just to see how Mariah came down off of that piano. Mariah must have slapped the editing crew with a clause that stated they can't film that shit, because Mariah magically appeared on the podium in the centre of the stage straight from the piano.

I'm wondering if Mariah is pregnant again, because she looks thick everywhere. Absolutely nothing like that skinny Gisele Bündchen looking woman she's trying to pass off as herself on her album cover.

"You don't know what to do" would have made a perfect single. Right for the soundscape of radio today with the abundance of disco inflected songs being thrown at the charts these days and a nice throwback to the live instrumented sounds of songs such as "Circles" and "Fly like a bird" from The emancipation of Mimi and "I'm that chick" from E=MC². Mariah's 'live performances' of songs never do them justice. So I'm on stand by for the album version to leak. Given the way these new songs are dropping out of nowhere and her album release being just around the corner, I would not be surprised if it surfaced online soon. A version without Wale would be really, really nice.
