Stay Long Love You (86,872) by Bobby A from United States Anybody digging Stay Long Love You now like me? This my jam number 2 now. Kind of reminds me of a sped up Joy Ride. I am just wondering if Caution is going to give us a different perspective on vinyl. Vinyl always brings out a more studio live recording sound than CD or mp3. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 02:28)

One Mo' Gen and Portrait (86,871) by anonymous from UK One Mo' Gen just seems to get better each and every time I hear it. I loved it from first listen but now it's fast becoming one of my fav MC album tracks ever. I don't know what it is about it that has hooked me so much, but wow. It's actually delicious, if audio can be described as such. Maybe I just need to get laid? Ahem, anyway, moving on. Portrait is still my fav on the album. Narrowly pushing past One Mo' Gen. Again, not sure why, but it feels kinda sweeping and epic, like a true old school MC song, in the way only she can do old school. Or perhaps not old school, but timeless. The strings are stirring and whereas with her precious introspective songs I felt the pain, this one I can hear or feel (or both) a stoic determination and steadfastness I've not heard from MC before. This whole album, it's almost like I can tell she's in a good place, emotionally and spiritually. I don't feel an emotional dumping, if I can be so ineloquent. I feel more like I'm hearing stories and experiences, as opposed to having using music to expunge herself of hard feelings. In a nutshell, MC is telling us about things, calmly relating, instead of unloading and damn the consequences. Caution as an album is just gorgeous. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 02:17)

Re: 8th Grade (86,869) (86,870) by Bobby A from United States Special K this is my jam. As far as I am concerned, the best song on Caution. The vocals are perfect. Reminds me of a high school crush on someone and they are not paying you any attention. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 01:49)

Re: 8th Grade (86,860) (86,869) by Special K from USA Whatever. No just kidding. If Terna likes it, then I like it. Not. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 01:21)

RJ112 (86,868) by Special K from USA I posted a new pic just for you. To be honest I won't lie my hubby thinks Bryan looks like a little boy. He said I come home to a 16 ounce Tbone steak every night while Mariah goes home to a 2 ounce sirloin. Usually we get into it about me crushing on Dwayne Johnson while he throws Gina Torres up my face. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 01:17)

8th Grade (86,867) by Dove from United States 8th Grade reminds me of some of the people on this message board. Especially Andrew and Edward. Portrait too. If she was standing right next to you would you write the negative things you write "limitless with nothing to lose"? A long time ago (2014/2015) when I used to frequent this message board a lot, either Andrew or Edward said something like, "the sun will rise tomorrow and Mariah will still be here" or something along those lines. I remember it because it was so well written and almost poetic. It was probably Andrew. (At me or someone else because we would get upset when anyone said anything too negative about MC.) That's what came to mind when I heard the line: "Yet I know that tomorrow comes, so I'll be here when you rise." I had to come back and share my thought. I really think she or someone on her team has visited this site. (Wednesday 5 December 2018; 01:03)

Re: 8th Grade (86,850) (86,866) by george golden from uk 8th Grade gets better with every listen. What an amazing song. Seriously amazing. Should definitely be a single. (Tuesday 4 December 2018; 23:29)

With You Top 10 Urban AC (86,865) by Bobby A from United States With an increase in spins, With You jumps up to Number 9 on the Urban AC chart. Her first since Touch My Body bowed at Number 7 in 2008. (Tuesday 4 December 2018; 22:57)

Re: For the life of me (86,847) (86,864) by Andrew from UK Sorry, I missed this. Lol. Anyone who has ever spoken to me will tell you I am quite lovely and quite emotional and erudite. I vent on this board about the nonsense my idol commits to. And opinions about people who do not understand me wash over me. As they should anybody. Demonize me all you like, ha. I'm quite comfortable in my own skin. But I do appreciate your posts. You are quite level headed. I look forward to your comments. Now, anyway... *picks up pitchfork* Let's go, bitches. (Tuesday 4 December 2018; 22:55)

Re: For the life of me (86,853) (86,863) by Andrew from UK Raycest. I speak English like Mariah dahling. Is "dahling" cultural appropriation? I'm going with it. (Tuesday 4 December 2018; 22:42)

Re: For the life of me (86,840) (86,862) by Andrew from UK Thank you for the message that actually listened to what I was saying and didn't demonize me immediately lol. Genuinely. Cautions first half has a mood and is musically lovely. I must agree with Eddie that With You is stuck in my brain even to this day. It's the latter half I do not like. It feels like one long drone. I felt the same way with Charmbracelet and Memoirs (but the latter record has absurdly outstanding moments). I cannot comprehend what Mariah fans see in this album. Many of the things I love about Mariah are missing. It is what it is. I predicted a summer album and given MC's current mood and brilliant interviews I think she may deliver one. To end on a negative: that recent performance where Mariah wore the long coat and walked the runway and had natural hair and smiled that famous non-fake smile... where has that gone on the Christmas tour? I cannot quite comprehend how she doesn't see that that's what fans want from her. And its so eeeeaaaassssy. She did it. Mariah, get back to work properly. (Tuesday 4 December 2018; 22:29)

Re: Beyonce Global Citizen festival (86,818) (86,861) by Terna from Nigeria You're not gonna like me if you don't drop this angel wings rant you keep going on and on about. (Tuesday 4 December 2018; 19:43)

Re: 8th Grade (86,766) (86,860) by Terna from Nigeria Lol. Like really? I love (all caps) "One Mo 'Gen" it's like top three favorite after "GTFO" and "8th Grade". Haha. (Tuesday 4 December 2018; 19:32)

Re: Caution acclaim CD rankings (86,856) (86,859) by RibbonB from USA 1.TEOM skip To The Floor and Get Your Number every time. 1a. E=MC2, I hop around filled with hand and 18th number in the timeless TMB. 2. Me I Am Mariah, sad, but poignant. Will have a justice for MIAM moment in ten years. 3. Memoirs, fun songs, too wordy at times. Great vocals. Trying to do too much, but not doing enough. 4. Caution, I love 8th Grade timeless, touching. GML is experimental and creative, great to explore in future projects. Stay Long Love is a radio ready bop. I avoid the first half of this project, boring. Looking forward to A No No remix though. (Tuesday 4 December 2018; 19:30)

Caution (86,858) by Edward from USA Caution is short and sweet with the vocals of Mariah O' the Day, of course. I have the feeling she'll go all out on her next album, hopefully next year. As for considering "Caution" better than "Charmbracelet", if I were to choose based on lyrics, creativity and art overall, I would take "Charmbracelet" over "Caution" any day. Mariah pen game on "Charmbracelet" is great, still poetic and meaninful. (Tuesday 4 December 2018; 18:46)

Re: Justice for AIWFCIY (86,626) (86,857) by jaker20 from US Is it time to power-stream yet? Everything seems to be in the right order and it's rising so fast on all fronts (Tuesday 4 December 2018; 18:41)

Caution acclaim is better than sales (86,856) by jaker20 from US I love that MC's getting some of the best reviews in a long time. In the end it's the music that people will remember. Imo, Caution is her best album since TEOM. I literally don't skip any song, it flows so smoothly. (Tuesday 4 December 2018; 18:36)

Re: 8th Grade (86,850) (86,855) by B from USA Like on Daydream, on Caution Mariah's whistles are textured into a lot of the songs, especially in the background. (Tuesday 4 December 2018; 17:37)

Re: Mariah Carey shelved projects (86,849) (86,854) by Edward from USA You're right. "The Angel Cut and Paste" was the only project announced that never saw the light of day. I'm happy it was shelved. That would've been a stain in her recording career. (Tuesday 4 December 2018; 17:37)

Re: For the life of me (86,838) (86,853) by Edward from USA Andrew, you have to stop telling people about the albums you cherish the most. Those bitch ass folks rate them with 3 stars just to go against you, don't you see? There's an illuminati mole in this board. I hope I used "bitch ass folks" correctly. (Tuesday 4 December 2018; 14:30)

Re: For the life of me (86,847) (86,852) by B from USA I would hardly call Caution an R&B album that debuted at #1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and at #5 on the Billboard 200 charts a flop. (Tuesday 4 December 2018; 13:37)

Re: Mariah Carey shelved projects (86,849) (86,851) by B from USA After listening to the remixes from the Angels Advocate remix album on the deluxe edition of MIAM I'm glad it was shelved. Although I prefer the album verson of Angels Cry, her duet of it with Ne-Yo has 120 million YouTube views. (Tuesday 4 December 2018; 13:26)

Re: 8th Grade (86,848) (86,850) by Edouard from France 8th Grade is clearly the best vocals on the album in my opinion. It's been one of my favs on the album upon first listen. Vocally it's very "Slipping Away" and just as good I must say. The fact that the song is so much talked about on this board and elsewhere is a sign of its appeal. It's cryptical and that's another proof of Mariah's genius as a writer. We connect to the song because she's able to tell the story of a grow up relationship but with the eyes of the child she once was. That's pretty powerful although very simple at the same time. This album is so smart and on so many levels. Love Caution, love Mariah. (Tuesday 4 December 2018; 12:02)

Re: Mariah Carey shelved projects (86,845) (86,849) by Bill from the UK The only real shelved project we know about is the Angels Advocate album, and probably for good reason. The rest is just speculation until her memoir is released, where she will hopefully shed some light on what was going on in the background. She did say she was contracted to release an album a year when at her original stint at Sony, and 1996 is the only year without an album so potentially something was in the works that got scrapped. But then, Daydream was still churning out hits well into 1996 and selling so all I can conceive being released would be an accompanying live album for the tour. (Tuesday 4 December 2018; 11:55)

8th Grade (86,848) by Sheila from United States 8th Grade is starting to win in my book. Those vocals darling, those vocals. (Tuesday 4 December 2018; 11:43)
