No whatitlooklike, my problem is NOT with Mariah. I love TEOM....she made a great album. My problem is with people like Jasper who doesn't appreciate her ballads, who thinks that Mariah shouldn't make a/c songs. Well then he must have skipped over a lot of TEOM then, because Mine Again, Circles, I Wish U Knew, and FLAB are all urban a/c.
I would say that Mine Again, Circles, I Wish You Knew (although it is ultra cheesy) all have straight up urban appeal. That does not mean it has to be A/C because they are ballads. They are urban songs with straight up urban appeal.

Do you know how the AC formats work? For example, a song like Shake It Off did failry well on urban AC stations. And that isn't a ballad. Please explain your logic.

Plz, none of those songs you listed could ever have been played on a station like Hot 97. I think its easier for a midtempo song like SIO to be played on an AC station than it is for a ballad to be played on an urban hiphop station like Hot 97 or Power 106.

Do you even listen to Hot 97? Two of their most played songs are "Like You'll Never See Me Again" and "I'll Remember," two ballads.
