Say Somethin' MARIAH CAREY Producer(s): The Neptunes Genre: POP Label: Island (album track) Just as we are singing mighty praises over Mariah Carey's sterling new gospel ballad release, "Fly Like a Bird"—in which the re-crowned diva delivers a consummate vocal—Island Def Jam distracts radio with a second, simultaneous single intended for rhythmic top 40. "Say Somethin' " is apparently meant to be an event record, a collaboration with Pharrell Williams and Snoop Dogg, accompanied by a glam videoclip that follows a Louis Vuitton-draped Carey traipsing across Paris. But underneath the surface, the scantly produced drum'n'bass album track is simply a series of gimmicks, the kind employed to boost lesser artists' careers. The melody line is palpable and Carey's vocal is appreciable, but "Somethin' " is mostly a reminder of a time when Carey required others to boost her chart heft. Those days are over. "Fly Like a Bird" is a classic; why muddy the water with this release? 大致上是說,雖然Say Somethin'的噱頭十足,有天王製作饒舌,加上LV名牌全副武裝, 但是似乎有那麼一點膚淺,好像瑪麗亞一定需要這些才能打造排行榜佳績一樣,反而沒辦法 將她已經靠自己的力量重返巔峰的那股魄力給表現出來. 他們認為Fly Like A Bird這首福音歌曲經典多了,為什麼要半路殺出一首Say Somethin' 呢? -- 　◣　　 █◣◢▉═══ Ｔｈｅ　Ｅｍａｎｃｉｐａｔｉｏｎ　ｏｆ　Ｍｉｍｉ ══ ◢█＠　 ███▉██▉██▉▉██▉█　█　███▉██▉██▉██▉█　█ 　／█◣ ███▉█▆▉█▆▉▉█▆▉███　██　　█▆▉█▆▉█▆　███ 　　◤　 █◥◤▉█　▉█◥◣▉█　▉█　█　███▉█　▉█◥◣█▆▆　█ 瑪麗亞凱莉最新專輯"天后再臨"發行首週空降告示牌冠軍大賣四十萬張再度締造新紀錄 2005上半年最值得聽的好聲音 Mariah Carey ﹝The Emancipation of Mimi﹞!! --
