Song - I love love love the song. My fav song since TEOM really. However i wish she featured in it a lil more
Video - Not a fan at all, i like it don't get me wrong but i dont really think it tells or story or does much for the song. I think it needed a little more . . . .mayb something along the lines of ILT or WBT

How's everyone's thoughts on. #Beautiful a couple of weeks in?
It's on heavy rotation on my iPod, last night it was at 211 plays - the most played song on my two and a half year old iPod.
It's doing really well globally too. #20 in America with airplay steadily rising and sales hovering in the top 20 in iTunes.
Last night it was #11 on Aussie iTunes which is MASSIVE!!! And I read it's doing really well in the UK too.
I really hope this song goes to #1 haha but it's still too soon to predict/expect that.
I'm not sure #Beautiful is going to lend an insight into the album , it was the last song recorded for the album and the album's been in the works for nearly two years.

I started getting a bit bored with #Beautiful. But the explicit version has reignited my love! I'm goning to have to say that I have much prefer it. I never noticed Miguel's back vocals at the end. I'm assuming this version will be the one on the album? The first time an MC album would have a parental advisory if so.
I like the video for it more too, I guess it's the simplicity that compliments the song. At the end of the video there's like, a crinkling/burning sound. Possible intro to the following song onthe album?

Nice to see Mariah's got herself another Top 10 hit in Australia, entering at #9 this week, her first since "Shake It Off" back in 2005!

wow is this for iTunes chart or aria?
Also haven't heard explicit version yet. Does it improve the song?

^^ Tyson, this is for ARIA! Isn't that amazing? So exciting! I love the fact that it's consistently grown on iTunes over the weeks. It's shown some true longevity, which is rare for Mariah in Australia (most her songs/albums tend to drop rapidly following initial debut). Matty, I'm still LOVING the song.. Sooo fun and fresh! I'm curious though, as to the sound of the album, as we don't really have any true indicator at the moment. After all, Triumphant & Almost Home aren't going to be included - and #Beautiful is more of a Miguel-sounding track. So it's ALL so exciting

I have to say I've stopped listening to this just so I don't skip it when the album comes out. I don't want it to sound old so I've stopped listening to it, Triumphant, and Almost Home because they'll both be on my new album playlist.
I'm so happy it's top 10 in Australia! Just goes to show the song needs a good melody and fresh production to be played here, this would do Miguel done favours out here too I would expect, he's not exactly lighting up the ARIA charts. Hoping this translates into a successful second single and album!

This is fantastic. I can't believe it is even in the top 10 aria chart. So excited!
I heard the explicit version - I didn't realise there was swearing in the chorus lol. Kind of obvious now I guess. I didn't even look at the lyrics. I dunno, was it really necessary for the song to have it? Regardless I do like the melody and song in general.
Really excited about the album!!

I dunno, was it really necessary for the song to have it? Makes it more meaningful to me. Saying someone is "beautiful" isn't quiet as intense as saying someone is "f***ing beautiful". Especially in the context of the song.

It's not needed. And I don't know why they felt the need to do it.
Perhaps if there was a 'standard' version and then an 'explicit' version it might be different.

I personally also don't think it's needed, but if it's another avenue to generate more sales, then why not. I do find the explicit version of the video clip rather pointless. In other news though, I believe Mariah also has herself a radio hit in Australia which is practically unheard of. www.aumreport.com/amr100.htmlShe is currently #16 this week. I think the song will do wonders for Miguel particularly when he is the support act for Bruno Mars when he tours here.

I love the song, it's definitely one that grows on you! It's just annoying that because it's a duet it will make it hard for them to perform together on!
