Re: MC's Caution is so boring right now to me (89,378) (89,379) by Bobby A from United States I don't know why I was feeling that way about Caution yesterday. I was so sad yesterday that A No No has been overlooked by radio again and Beyonce is killing it again. I just wish she on my record label or I was her manager so that I could put her back at #1. You all know that I love Mariah. I will always be a Lamb. I am looking forward to the Billboard Awards this week. I take back what I wrote yesterday. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 23:49)

Re: MC's Caution is so boring right now to me (89,343) (89,378) by Bill from the UK You've changed your tune. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 20:06)

Re: (89,366) (89,377) by Andrew from London UK Mariah would do well to follow up Caution with a new album quickly and keep some sort of momentum. I think a third Christmas album would be good - "M3rry Chrismtas" - followed up with a Summer record next year. Something fun and less morose and mundane than her latest release. But, to be honest, I am not sure where else she can go musically. She fails to embrace shifts in music and seems stuck in the past. I think a club/disco/party album would be great. A jazz album would be just another snoozefest ignored by the masses but pleasing only those lambs who requested it merely because that is all they think her vocally capable of producing. Mariah needs a new concept, a new direction, a new raison d'etre. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 17:33)

Re: MC's Caution is so boring right now to me (89,373) (89,376) by B from USA Just like Mariah, herself. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 16:13)

Re: Groan (89,349) (89,375) by B from USA I think Medellin is boring. I've read several industry articles about how it's a flop on iTunes and Spotify. If Mariah had released Medellin I would've been severely disappointed and I would not waste my time defending it. Instead I would be praying that the rest of the album isn't as bad as the lead single. Madonna's fans support her, even when the material doesn't warrant it, unlike Mariah's fans who do not support her and complain about everything she does. To clarify, I don't hate Madonna I just haven't liked any of her albums since Confessions on a Dance Floor. By the way, I hated Triumphant and never defended it. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 16:04)

Re: Groan (89,370) (89,374) by B from USA Why are you so obsessed with me? What have I said that is disingenuous, purposely manipulative, or intentionally untrue? (Sunday 28 April 2019; 15:59)

Re: MC's Caution is so boring right now to me (89,359) (89,373) by Tijl from Belgium Like fine wine, it gets better in time. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 13:58)

Re: (89,358) (89,372) by MusicfanJ from Germany I understand what you mean with "street diva". But Mariah is clearly more diva than "street". That role playing seems to be fun for her. I don't know. For me Mariah is a classic diva, but a sweet one. I really do believe that inside her true self she's sometimes still "the Long Island girl". (Sunday 28 April 2019; 12:03)

Re: (89,360) (89,371) by MusicfanJ from Germany "I'd love a jazz album or an album of standards or a stripped album with mostly piano guitar." Yes, I won't give up this dream. That album would be everything. She would "shine" with every song. Almost everybody can do a "modern" album today with all the computers. But to do a jazz record or piano one you need to be a real musician and have a "special voice". So it's perfect for the songbird supreme. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 11:46)

Re: Groan (89,349) (89,370) by Andrew from London UK You've only just realised that everything Brandon says is disingenuous, purposely manipulative, often even intentionally untrue? This accounts for 98% of his messages lol. The other 2% is Bruno Mars and The Smeezingtons. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 11:07)

Re: (89,360) (89,369) by Giovanni from USA I totally agree. I'd love to hear a cover of "Lullaby of birdland". (Sunday 28 April 2019; 06:17)

Re: Collaborations (89,353) (89,368) by Giovanni from USA Yes please, asap. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 06:14)

Re: (89,360) (89,367) by B from USA Mariah's promotue [sic] performances at the Carlyle Jazz Club and several of her songs (The Wind, anyone?) prove she can do jazz. Mariah's versatility as an artist and a singer could easily allow her to successfully crossover into any genre. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 05:48)

Re: (89,358) (89,366) by B from USA Even if she is 52 when she releases her next album, she'll look half her age. However I, don't think we'll have to wait another 4 years for a new album. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 05:39)

The original or the remix (89,365) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Personally I prefer the ISB (Pure Imagination remix). I prefer The Angel prelude to Angels Cry. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 02:53)

Before I let go (89,364) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I appreciate Beyoncé for covering a classic but the original will always be superior in my opinion. Robert-Anthony why should MC all of sudden change her sound to fit a mode than she will be criticized for following a trend and trying to current. At this point she at an age where she does not appeal to average top 40 audience which is considered 18-34 so radio would give her a hard time either way. On top of that she made an album that sounds current but it is still classic MC as it should be. I am glad she sticks making music that she loves because she has already broken so many chart records that many pop stars today can only wish they see 1/3 of her success. Also if MC wanted to make a trap pop album she definitely could but she loves R&B or the contemporary R&B sounds so she stays in that lane. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 02:50)

Re: "Remixes" that are better than the original (89,354) (89,363) by B from USA I love that remix but I love the album version more. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 02:22)

Re: Angels Cry (89,357) (89,362) by B from USA I prefer the Angel The Prelude to Angels Cry. It's hauntingly beautiful. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 02:21)

Re: (89,358) (89,361) by B from USA Mariah doesn't and never has had a "street diva" persona. Why are you mad at her for working with the best producers in the game at the moment? By the way, Giving Me Life features a guitar solo. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 02:20)

Re: (89,358) (89,360) by Dove from United States I'd love a jazz album or an album of standards or a stripped album with mostly piano guitar and vocals as much as the next guy but I don't mind her working with younger people. I feel like the fun and innovation is with the younger people and she's gotta keep it fresh. The standards, stripped, or jazz album has to be a side project IMO. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 00:25)

Re: MC's Caution is so boring right now to me (89,343) (89,359) by enwar00 from usa What do you mean, I thought this was her Thriller album. Geez. So fairweathered. That's a no no. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 00:17)

(89,358) by Randy from USA And my favorite part of this is she'll be 52 at the next album. So will she still be working with 25 year old rappers and producers or will it be enough already with trying to hold onto this "street diva" persona and we finally get a jazz album or an album of standards or a stripped album with mostly piano guitar and vocals? (Saturday 27 April 2019; 22:29)

Angels Cry (89,357) by Jeff from USA Such an underrated gem. But can we talk about the prelude? I'm not sure if I even believe in angels, but that made me want to believe. (Saturday 27 April 2019; 18:16)

Next single (89,356) by Jeff from USA I'm not holding my breath, but I would love to see Caution and 8th Grade released as singles. I think, unfortunately, that all but the Lambily have moved on. (Saturday 27 April 2019; 18:14)

Remixes (89,355) by Jeff from USA I am unabashedly a fan of some of MC's remixes. Breakdown Mo Thugs remix Heartbreaker If You Should Ever Be Lonely The Roof Mob Deep remix Fantasy ODB remix TGIFY Make It Last ABMB Mr Dupri Mix I Still Believe Damizza Obsessed Gucci Butterfly Fly Away Reprise (Saturday 27 April 2019; 18:11)
