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

Re: The Roof, Lullaby, For The Record, and Giving Me Life (86,820) (86,829) by B from USA I thought Mariah and Derek's relationship began before the writing and recording of Butterfly? (Monday 3 December 2018; 21:46)

Re: The Roof, Lullaby, For The Record, and Giving Me Life (86,790) (86,815) by B from USA Dedicated is an ode to the golden age of Hip-hop. I totally forgot about Candy Bling. However, Candy Bling can't be about Jeter since she sings: "Wish I can bring you back like the O.D.B Thinkin' about the whirlpools Me you and Jack No matter what I do All the memories are stacked Thinkin 'bout 10th grade Thinkin 'bout 11th Then you went Dougie Fresh All the way to heaven" (Monday 3 December 2018; 14:57)

Re: 8th Grade (86,799) (86,814) by B from USA Maybe it's the experimental beat and his adlibs. (Monday 3 December 2018; 14:48)

Re: 8th Grade (86,766) (86,797) by B from USA Again, I was referring to the beat not Mariah's lyrics or vocals. Guess I should have been more specific. (Monday 3 December 2018; 01:34)

Re: 8th Grade (86,775) (86,796) by B from USA The beat sounds like an Aaliyah beat from One in a Million, in my opinion. (Monday 3 December 2018; 01:30)

Re: Runway (86,759) (86,780) by B from USA I'm just trying to figure out which version they sampled? Was it the ballad, Fly Away, or one of the Morales remixes. (Sunday 2 December 2018; 20:37)

Re: 8th Grade (86,765) (86,779) by B from USA The beat just reminds me of an Aaliyah beat, does anyone else get an Aaliyah vibe from the beat? (Sunday 2 December 2018; 20:30)

The Roof, Lullaby, For The Record, and Giving Me Life (86,778) by B from USA The Roof Every time I feel the need  I envision you caressing me  And go back in time  To relieve the splendor of you and I  On the rooftop that rainy night Lullaby I don't wanna spend my life Thinking what it could've been like If we had another try (one time) Like back in the day For The Record 'Cause when I'm looking in your eyes Feels like the first time Give me one good reason why We can't just press rewind I don't wanna spend my life Thinking what it could've been like If we had another try (one time) Like back in the day That look on your face Feels like, the first time Giving Me Life Giving me life and it's everything Thinkin' 'bout when we were seventeen Feeling myself like I'm Norma Jeane Here in my arms is where you should be Each song is about Mariah reminiscing about an encounter with a former lover. The Roof, Lullaby, and For The Record are a trilogy as they're seemingly about the same encounter. Giving Me Life could be about the beginning of the romance, maybe that's reach but I don't care, lol. (Sunday 2 December 2018; 20:19)

Re: 8th Grade (86,728) (86,755) by B from USA Does anyone else think that 8th Grade sounds like an unfinished song/track that Timbaland was working on for Aaliyah and decided to give it to Mariah because he knew she could do it justice? Giving Me Life, 8th Grade, and Caution are my favorites and I think they should be singles because they're not typical Mariah Carey songs/singles. Giving Me Life needs an amazing video featuring Eddie Murphy as his character from Trading Places. 8th Grade needs an Always Be My Baby video treatment about a dramatic 8th Grade relationship with Mariah either not appearing at all or if she does as the grown up protagonist reminiscing about her 8th Grade first love while walking the halls of her former middle school. Caution should be similar to GTFO but with a story line. (Sunday 2 December 2018; 14:57)

Re: Why Mariah Carey is getting mom shamed (86,739) (86,754) by B from USA I though once the child reached a certain age or weighed a certain amount they didn't jave to use a booster seat or a seat belt in the back seat. I guess laws differ from state to state. At least Mariah didn't leave Roc on top of her SVU or drive with him on her lap like Britney did, lol. (Sunday 2 December 2018; 14:25)

Re: Runway (86,742) (86,753) by B from USA Does it say which version of Butterfly they sampled? Runway is one of my favorites. It's an empowering anthem and only a legend of Mariah's caliber can sample herself and make it work. (Sunday 2 December 2018; 14:15)

Why Mariah Carey is getting mom shamed (86,736) by B from USA Really? People are shaming her because her kids weren't wearing seat belts in the backseat? I never wore a seatbelt in the backseat and even rode in the pack of a pickup truck, lol. These people need to get a grip. It's not that deep. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 20:32)

Re: Music Box v. Daydream v. Merry Christmas (86,729) (86,735) by B from USA Let's just say she created three perfect albums back to back to back after releasing her best selling album of all time. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 20:25)

Re: Caution (86,725) (86,734) by B from USA I think Mariah was wise to avoid ballads on Caution. Every ballad she releases is automatically compared unfavorably, deservedly or undeservedly, to We Belong Together. You're Mine (Erternal) had lyrics that had universal appeal that had could've connected with millions of listeners but Rodney Jerkins unfortunately provided Mariah will a beat that sounded like a Carey/Dupri collaboration from 2005/2008. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 20:17)

Re: Music Box v. Daydream v. Merry Christmas (86,721) (86,726) by B from USA I've always considered Mariah vocal peak as being from 1994-1996. From Merry Christmas and Daydream. I think sometime between the last date on the daydream World tour and recording and promoting Butterfly Mariah experienced a vocal issue like Adele and Sam Smith did.

Re: Why 8th Grade? Butterfly marries TEOM (86,704) (86,714) by B from USA Thanks for the explanation. I'll give those albums a listen on Spotify. (Friday 30 November 2018; 23:41)

Re: Why 8th Grade? Butterfly marries TEOM (86,675) (86,703) by B from USA Didn't Mariah sing like that before Brandy debuted? Please, explain exactly what a Brandy styled vocal/vocals sound like? (Friday 30 November 2018; 16:59)

Re: "Caution" is #1 in Billboard's R&B Albums Chart (86,697) (86,700) by B from USA I never listened to it and have absolutely no desire to do so anytime soon. I'm just glad we're getting a Mariah Carey remix with resung vocals. (Friday 30 November 2018; 15:24)

Re: Mark Ronson (86,692) (86,699) by B from USA The Stereotypes, who produced Stay Long Love You, also produced Bruno's That's What I Like. I hope Mariah works with them again. I also think Stay Long Love You should be released as single. (Friday 30 November 2018; 15:06)

Re: Mark Ronson (86,692) (86,696) by B from USA I would also love it if Mariah worked with Mark Robson. (Friday 30 November 2018; 14:56)

Re: Almost Home (86,694) (86,695) by B from USA No, thanks. Andy, isn't a fan and he's only here to create division and drama which gives him life. (Friday 30 November 2018; 14:53)

Re: "Caution" is #1 in Billboard's R&B Albums Chart (86,662) (86,693) by B from USA Edward, I was able to seamlessly update my signature sound crystal ball. (Friday 30 November 2018; 14:30)

Re: Almost Home (86,679) (86,690) by B from USA Go with God. (Friday 30 November 2018; 13:28)

Re: Almost Home (86,670) (86,689) by B from USA The fireflies line is so MC, doesn't she even sing about fireflies on Runway? To clarify this is my opinion and is not fact based. It's just based on listening to Mariah's albums for the last 23 years. (Friday 30 November 2018; 13:13)

Re: Almost Home (86,682) (86,688) by B from USA I'm dead. I also pity the poor soul that ends up taking that [censored] home when the bar closes. (Friday 30 November 2018; 12:54)
