100 Percent

Mariah Carey did it again!

I am not sure if this will be her next big hit, but I just love this song! It's called "100 Percent".

This song was supposed to be included in her latest album "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" but it was taken out probably due to the song not fitting into the theme of the album.

The song was then supposed to be used for the highly acclaimed movie "Precious" where Mariah was finally praised for her acting ability. But the director did not want the audiences to be reminded of Mariah as the singer, so her song was not included. Instead it was replaced with a song sung by Mary J. Blige.

Unperturbed, Mariah had said that she's going to use this song for "something really good" so finally, here we are - this is going to be the song for 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver! Hooray!!

Written by Mariah Carey and Jermaine Dupri, "100 Percent" is a totally inspiring song. A song for dreamers and champions in the making. In other words, my kind of song!

And I'm going to dedicate this song to none other than my friend QuaChee, who is an inspiring dreamer himself! I'm also dedicating this song to all of you who are currently struggling to make it big, to achieve your dreams.

Watch this live footage video taken from Mariah's recent "Angels Advocate" Tour in Toronto, Canada. Enjoy!!



I am a dream, just beginning
Truth is I prayed when you'd open my eyes,
And you reveal, something to me,
Suddenly, I am no longer confined!

My life ain’t defined by limits
I don’t need no permission to live it
I’m a break through the door til I get in
Everything that I got I’m a give it
100 Percent and I ain’t stopping til I reach the finish

I’m a believer, not just a dreamer
I’m givin everything I got
I’m a go-getter
100 Percenter
Undoubtedly I can reach the top and I ain’t gonna let nothing discourage or dissuade me
Coz I’m walking out of here a champion either way babe
I am givin 100 Percent
So go on put your ones up

If you’re putting in a hundred put your ones up, ones up
If you know that this is something, put your ones up, ones up
If you really comprehend this feel, your ones up, your ones up
If you’re walking into victory keep on shining
One hundred percent

You can only do it if you do it like I did
Cause suffering ain’t easy
But if you can turn your wounds into living proof that you’ve survived the fight
And you're no longer defined

My life ain’t defined by limits
I don’t need no permission to live it
I’m a break through the door til I get in
Everything that I got I’m a give it
100 Percent and I ain’t stopping til I reach the finish

I’m a believer, not just a dreamer
I’m givin everything I got
I’m a go-getter
100 Percenter
Undoubtedly I can reach the top and I ain’t gonna let nothing discourage or dissuade me
(Nothing can discourage me)
Coz I’m walking out of here a champion either way babe
I am givin 100 Percent
So go on put your ones up

If you’re putting in a hundred put your ones up, ones up (Put your ones up)
If you know that this is something, put your ones up, ones up (Everybody)
If you really comprehend this feel, your ones up, your ones up (Put your ones up)
If you’re walking into victory keep on shining (One hundred)
One hundred percent

Don’t you ever be discouraged, let nobody take your courage
If you gonna pray don’t worry,
If ya gonna wait don’t pray
You just keep the faith and listen to me

If you’re putting in a hundred put your ones up, ones up (Put your ones up)
