"many feel that Carey is endorsing suicide, because of the song's message of longing to be in Heaven." -- is it a serious fact? this is the first time I hear this... Alensha 22:22, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

heh, Extraordinary Machine, it looks like we were both thinking the same thing! -- getcrunkjuicecontribs 17:18, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that was kind of strange :). Extraordinary Machine 17:34, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
regarding your comment: are Say Somethin' and this being released separately or as a double A-side?, I believe that the singles are not being released as a double a-side because 1) http://www.mariahdaily.com/newsdesk.shtml lists March 14, 2006 as the "Fly Like A Bird" radio release for Top 40 Rhythmic-Crossover and April 4, 2006 for "FLAB" and "SS" release to other stations, 2) the single cover for "Say Somethin'" does not mention "FLAB" and 3) the completely different themes :P -- getcrunkjuicecontribs 18:00, 1 April 2006 (UTC)


Extraordinary machine - the info is not unsourced, it is true. the live performances happen and flab has been played on several urban, rhythmic, and urban adult contemporary stations across the U.S. look it up if you don't believe me. And also, finish your removal of the link, don't just stick a '1' in with no link! —This unsigned comment was added by 195.93.21.72 (talk • contribs) .

  1. The article already said that the song was played on those radio stations. Now there's two mentions of this: the one I retained, and the one you added in afterwards.
  2. We don't need a list of all of Carey's performance's of the song, as WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. Extraordinary Machine 19:20, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Why was the entire mention of her Grammy performance removed? That was an important performance in her career, and it should at least be mentioned in the article. --Musicpvm 22:58, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
I agree with the Grammy perfromance, that is one of the most important places a song can be performed at, and was a great perfromance that deserves recognition... --Thankyoubaby 05:32, 7 April 2006 (UTC)


Does anyone know if there is supposed to be a music video for this song or not? 69.209.236.146 10:03, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

As far as I know, there is not a video. You might want to check fan sites like http://www.mariahdaily.com about it -- getcrunkjuicecontribs 19:41, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UK Release

Does anyone know if there will be a UK release of this song?

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
