Re: Skydiving (94,246) (94,251) by T from USA This is the unmixed version that was done during the Memoirs sessions. First time Mariah and Timbaland worked with each other since she teamed up with [Missy] on [Babydoll]. I think it would've fit perfectly with [Memoirs] to break up but also compliment the Dream songs. Ignore the talking over it and try to focus on the vocals, lyrics and production. It's sublime.

Must see Glitter promo video (94,250) by Edouard from France Hi everyone, very interesting video about the resurgence of the video uncovers what I believe is a never-before-seen promo video from the Glitter era. It seems to me that the story line of the movie was to be different: no so focus on the making of a star thing, more about the love story, the whitewashing of Billie's music, her choice not to go with the corporate guys, etc. The music on the album also would have been different. Mariah mentions a collaborative effort with Prince. She throws a little shade at Mottola and Lopez, alludes to plagiarism and not wanting to be blamed. Check it out. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 18:01)

Re: 8th Grade (94,243) (94,249) by darrian liu from taiwan I see it, but I think the title kinda relates to the mindset of the "voice" she's portraying in the song. The lyrics are as if they were written by someone with this indecisive, flimsy, kinda timid mindset, a lil bit like an 8th grader. I think Mariah was trying to harken back to her middle school days with the cig reference too. It might be a little bit of a reach, but it kinda makes sense to me. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 17:38)

There's got to be a way live (94,248) by Manuel from Germany Mariah did it. She sang a snippet. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 16:36)

8th Grade (94,247) by Jeff from USA It was my favorite song from Caution when the album came out and it still is today. Mariah at her best. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 14:10)

Skydiving (94,246) by enwar00 from usa What the heck, I don't know if I've even heard this song. Is it good? What does it sound like? What album was it supposed to be on, E=MC2? Does anyone have a link to post here? I can't find it. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 06:25)

Re: 8th Grade (94,243) (94,245) by RibbonB from USA She will never tell what that song is really about. But unearthly for a very sad moment in time. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 03:12)

Re: 8th Grade (94,239) (94,244) by Edouard from France One of my instant favs on Caution if not my fav. I believe the song is about her relationship with Packer and how it echoed the childish type of relationships you tend to put on a pedestal when you're young, when you're in 8th grade. Genius lyrics. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 03:07)

Re: 8th Grade (94,239) (94,243) by Licia from USA This is one of the 3 songs from Caution I still listen to. It gets played daily. Everything is on point from the vocals to the production. The only thing I don't like is that I really don't understand how the lyrics correlate with the title of the song. I believe she tried to explain it in an interview, but I still didn't get it. I t look over that little blip though because it's a great song regardless. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 02:13)

8th grade (94,242) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) This song is still a favorite of mine, still enjoying the Caution album as if it was released just recently. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 01:37)

Re: 8th Grade (94,239) (94,241) by Edouard from France One of my instant favs on Caution if not my fav. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 00:09)

Re: MIAMTEC platinum edition (94,237) (94,240) by Bill from the UK Skydiving is great, but I wish Almost Home made it onto MIAM. (Friday 29 May 2020; 23:22)

8th Grade (94,239) by darrian liu from taiwan Can I just say how much Mariah struck gold with this song? Ever since Caution's release, it never left my regular playlists on Spotify. The melody is beautiful, Timbaland's production is impeccable, and Mariah's vocal performance is subtle, yet still packs a punch. I love the classic Mariah sound it has infused with lil twists here and there, truly one of Caution's highlights. (Friday 29 May 2020; 21:05)

Re: TESMIAM (?) anniversary (94,236) (94,238) by Tijl from Belgium It takes only two spins to get one through a lockdown. (Friday 29 May 2020; 17:26)

MIAMTEC platinum edition (94,237) by T from USA If only she would've saved Timbaland's produced "Skydiving" for that album (like she did Betcha and It's a Wrap). Imagine this tracklist: 1. Skydiving (ft. Drake) 2. Cry 3. Faded 4. Dedicated (ft. Nas) 5. #Beautiful (ft. Miguel) 6. Make It Look Good 7. You're Mine 8. You Don't Know What To Do 9. Supernatural 10. Meteorite 11. Camouflage 12. The Art Of Letting Go (Friday 29 May 2020; 17:04)

Re: TESMIAM (?) anniversary (94,234) (94,236) by Bill from the UK Not as long as Charmbracelet. Sometimes it feels like that album has a run time clocking in at four weeks. (Friday 29 May 2020; 16:54)

Re: MIAM (94,231) (94,235) by Tijl from Belgium TAOLG is one of my all time favourite MC tracks. There is a bite and realness to it that surpasses and outshines the vocal gymnastics of her early years. I like when it Mariah gets real as with "Side Effects" lyrics for example. (Friday 29 May 2020; 10:10)

Re: TESMIAM (?) anniversary (94,228) (94,234) by Tijl from Belgium That would have been a solid album. I feel MIAMTEC is sooo long. (Friday 29 May 2020; 10:07)

Re: TESMIAM (?) anniversary (94,229) (94,233) by Tijl from Belgium Nothing of the kind. Too much bad news paralyzed my brain. (Friday 29 May 2020; 10:07)

Re: MIAM (94,231) (94,232) by Bobby A from United States Wal-Mart leaked the title. (Friday 29 May 2020; 03:47)

Re: MIAM (94,230) (94,231) by The Real Deal from USA One of my top five favorite Mariah albums of all time. It was actually originally titled The Art Of Letting Go and then changed after the leak of the album's artwork was made, which I believe ended up becoming the single cover art for The Art of Letting Go. (Friday 29 May 2020; 01:49)

MIAM (94,230) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) This album was definitely around a time MC was going through changes her last album on Def Jam, and she was in the process of going through a divorce. Even though I believe she was in the best emotionally she pulled through and created a solid body of work. I believe she should have named the album "The art of letting go" for obvious reasons, and the final track listing should have been 10-12 tracks. (Friday 29 May 2020; 00:39)

Re: TESMIAM (?) anniversary (94,226) (94,229) by Edward from USA Thank God you let Eric know that. For a moment I thought you were on crack. Get better. (Thursday 28 May 2020; 21:50)

Re: TESMIAM (?) anniversary (94,225) (94,228) by Edward from USA Are you referring to "Super Creepy"? So adorable. MIAMTEC should've been a nice 10-track album. 1. Cry. 2. Dedicated 3. #Beautiful 4. Thirsty 5. Make It Look Good 6. You're Mine (Eternal) 7. You Don't Know What to Do 8. Meteorite 9. Camouflage 10. The Art of Letting Go (Thursday 28 May 2020; 21:48)

Re: TESMIAM (?) anniversary (94,226) (94,227) by Bobby A from United States We all make mistakes on here. Thanks for sharing. Get better soon. I still want it on vinyl. (Thursday 28 May 2020; 21:23)
