About B from USA: Slowly but surely®™ The Vindication of B ®™ "There are people called haters and we give them positivity" MC

Re: SWHOF (87,563) (87,577) by B from USA Licia, I never said that Missy said that or that Mariah is more deserving of the award/recognition. I love Missy. I remember being thrilled when I found out Mariah wrote a song with her for Butterfly. Babydoll is one of my favorite songs ever and I'm looking forward to the A No No remix with Missy and Kim. What exactly do you think I was implying? Care to elaborate? (Wednesday 16 January 2019; 14:20)

Re: SWHOF (87,563) (87,574) by B from USA Missy's friends with Mariah so I assumed she was being polite by including all of the nominees in her post. It's not that deep. (Wednesday 16 January 2019; 10:26)

Re: SWHOF (87,570) (87,573) by B from USA Mariah will be inducted. The only question is when. (Wednesday 16 January 2019; 10:11)

Re: SWHOF (87,567) (87,572) by B from USA Allure, 7 Mile, and Trey. (Wednesday 16 January 2019; 05:35)

Re: SWHOF (87,545) (87,565) by B from USA Agreed. (Tuesday 15 January 2019; 18:15)

With You (87,564) by B from USA I'm glad Epic and Mariah have given and are still giving With You a chance because if they had released a second single With You would've faded into obscurity. I'm just glad it's still doing well on Adult Contemporary and R&B radio and charts. Havana was released in October of 2017 and didn't top the Hot 100 until January 2018. I'm not saying With You is going to be Mariah's 19th #1 but I think it will eventually chart on the Hot 100 and become a top 40 hit and the follow up single the A No No remix will be a top 10 hit if Mariah and her team are able to get Cardi to record a verse or two. The third single should be Caution. Caution has more streams on Spotify and more views on YouTube than A No No. Besides, GTFO and With You, Caution has more streams of Spotify and views on YouTube.

Re: Why doesn't Mariah get tributes like Janet? (87,548) (87,562) by B from USA Because Janet is a Jackson. The industry and public view Janet as a legacy act and they view Mariah as someone who has the potential to make a comeback. (Tuesday 15 January 2019; 15:58)

Re: SWHOF (87,556) (87,561) by B from USA Missy basically said Mariah deserved to be inducted when she said, "Also those who were nominated because their body of work is amazing." Mariah's ultra femme persona is most likely she was overlooked. Why they inducted Dallas Austin and snubbed Mariah Carey is beyond me. (Tuesday 15 January 2019; 15:08)

Re: Caution #1? (87,518) (87,519) by B from USA It's the R&B Album Sales chart not the chart that tallies views, streams, and sales. (Wednesday 9 January 2019; 01:22)

Re: With You (87,462) (87,515) by B from USA I think you've confused Mariah with Beyonce. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 18:28)

Re: Caution returns to Number One (87,498) (87,514) by B from USA Without any promotion. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 18:14)

Re: R. Kelly (87,508) (87,513) by B from USA So, because he wrote Toni's I Don't Want To I shouldn't listen to it or watch the video on YouTube? (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 18:08)

Caution (87,503) by B from USA Is back at #1 on Billboard's R&B Albums chart. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 04:16)

Re: R. Kelly (87,487) (87,500) by B from USA What I meant by separate the man from the music is I am able to still enjoy an artist's music even if they supposedly engaged in lewd and illegal behavior. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 02:17)

Re: R. Kelly (87,485) (87,486) by B from USA I just assumed she sent him Betcha Gon' Know and he just added his vocals to it or that he sent her several vocal tracks and she pieced it together. I'm disturbed by the allegations but I'm going to separate the man from the music like I did when Michael Jackson was accused of child molestation. (Monday 7 January 2019; 12:12)

Re: With You (87,467) (87,484) by B from USA "I wanted to give my fans and everyone a first listen that wasn't so serious. I've had so much fun making this album, and I wanted the first moment to reflect that light-hearted spirit." - Mariah Carey Mariah obviously fought for GTFO to be released first. During her Genius interview she even questioned the decision to release four songs before releasing the album. I'm not blaming anyone for anything. I have no complaints. I'm loving this album and era. (Monday 7 January 2019; 11:22)

Re: With You (87,473) (87,482) by B from USA Mariah has and can replicate her studio vocals live. Her voice is unpredictable but when the stars align she's able to do so. (Monday 7 January 2019; 11:12)

Re: R. Kelly (87,478) (87,481) by B from USA He was featured on the remixes of Touch My Body and Betcha Gon' Know. However, I don't think they actually worked together because neither remix features new vocals from Mariah. Let's not forget this was during her copy and paste remix phase, lol. (Monday 7 January 2019; 11:07)

Re: With You (87,456) (87,464) by B from USA Agreed. Those are my choices for singles as well. Only one single has been released and I for one can't wait to see what Mariah and her team have in store for us this year. (Sunday 6 January 2019; 22:07)

Re: With You (87,457) (87,463) by B from USA Portrait is an introspective look at the woman behind the glitz and glam and glitter. (Sunday 6 January 2019; 22:05)

Re: With You (87,457) (87,461) by B from USA She played it safe vocally on Caution most likely because she was derided by fans during the MIAM era for recording songs she supposedly wasn't capable of replicating live. She was also accused of using studio engineering and trickery to do so. (Sunday 6 January 2019; 21:55)

Re: Giving Me Life (87,446) (87,460) by B from USA Giving Me Life is my favorite song. This excerpt from Pitchfork's review of Caution explains what I love about the song better than I ever could. "The dreamy, guitar-god coda appended to the simmering Giving Me Life, a bittersweet look back that glides through Barbra Streisand references and an extended face-off between Carey and hip-hop demigod Slick Rick before entering its final phase. Devonté Hynes (aka Blood Orange), a student of slow jams, is Carey’s co-producer here, and his ability to sustain a sumptuous groove then explode it into something completely unexpected clashes with Carey’s controlled charm in a spectacular way." (Sunday 6 January 2019; 21:12)

Re: With You (87,447) (87,459) by B from USA You hate Giving Me Life and 8th Grade? (Sunday 6 January 2019; 21:05)

Re: With You (87,450) (87,458) by B from USA My nephew said he also sings Hero in music class. He's a little lamb. He loves You're Mine ( Eternal). He's always asking me to play it. (Sunday 6 January 2019; 20:59)

Re: With You (87,436) (87,452) by B from USA GTFO has over seven million views on YouTube so maybe Epic should've listened to Mariah and released it as the official first single instead of With You. Personally, I think they should've went with Caution. (Sunday 6 January 2019; 15:46)
