Re: R. Kelly (87,532) (87,540) by RibbonB from USA Ok listened to it. Good interview. I didn't detect real shade. Sounds like he talked to a mentor and friend, who might have been thinking about the difference, financial disparity and the flack Nick would get and it wasn't easy. But he also said they were in love. Most friends let love take its course. Funny how a lot of people who are by want Nick to share about his personal business are salivating at the prospect of Mimi spilling tea in her memoirs. (Sunday 13 January 2019; 03:42)

Re: R. Kelly (87,535) (87,539) by Mara from United States Oh ok, I thought you may have seen it all. But you are absolutely right about that and I didn't think of it that way. He probably did mean about the divorce and saving a lot of money if it never happened. The part that he talks about Dame giving him this advice before he proposed and not to do it, is at the very end of the interview. (Sunday 13 January 2019; 03:30)

Re: Mara (87,534) (87,538) by Mara from United States Yes Gee, I'm sure she was told similar things as well. They both did their thing and have two beautiful children out of it. Something I honestly was beginning to think I never was going to see out of Mariah. So for that, I'm happy they both may have lost some money. (Sunday 13 January 2019; 03:27)

Re: SWHOF (87,531) (87,537) by Matthew from USA Since when has Mariah been eligible? And when did Missy start her career as a writer? Mariah has been very humble when it comes to these awards, deferring to the women who came before her who have yet to receive anything. She says let them get it first. But I was under the impression Missy's writing career began a little later than Mariah. So, yeah, I guess Missy just has more respect for her to get it first. Or her lyrics were just that good.

Re: Songwriters Hall of Fame (87,533) (87,536) by Lee from USA What a crock. I don't see how these morons get it wrong two years in a row. It could be envy on their part. Or, they could have nominated her just for the publicity like MTV usually does. (Sunday 13 January 2019; 01:16)

Re: R. Kelly (87,532) (87,535) by RibbonB from USA I haven't watched the full I interview yet. But Mimi has talked about divorce being expensive herself. As recently as the Genius interview, or the radio station interview with Nessa. She said definitely no go marriage again, or more kids. Not to mention her own inconvenience suit. Marriage is in fact a business contract and often includes love. I should also point out that the savings could've been in legal fees, as he mentioned lawyers being the problem in holding up the divorce. (Sunday 13 January 2019; 01:11)

Mara (87,534) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Nick is always saying a little bit too much for my liking honestly. What does it matter he married her anyway and I am certain that people told MC the same thing in regards to marrying Nick but they both did what they felt was best and they loved each other. (Sunday 13 January 2019; 00:10)

Songwriters Hall of Fame (87,533) by RibbonB from USA Congratulations to Missie for being inducted this year. Too bad for Mariah. Her time will likely come soon. (Saturday 12 January 2019; 22:13)

Re: R. Kelly (87,517) (87,532) by Mara from United States Ribbon, what did you think about when Nick said Dame gave him advice before he proposed and he should have listened to him and it could have save him thousands of dollars. Did Dame ever have any personal problems with Mariah? I remember seeing a grainy video of MC and Dame and a quite a few other people having some drinks in a studio like everyday people and I think Shawn was there too. That part seemed unnecessary for Nick to add in but maybe he was trying to validitify his realness or closeness with Dame at the end of the interview. Just curious if you saw that or made anything out of it. (Saturday 12 January 2019; 19:47)

SWHOF (87,531) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Once again Mariah did not make the cut. Maybe next time even though it's disappointing because she deserves it. (Saturday 12 January 2019; 18:24)

Re: Caution #1? (87,527) (87,530) by Ricardo Edwards from New Zealand Ah wrong, Ella Mai has the #1 RnB album and Merry Christmas is at #19. Nobody's losing sleep over it. I just fact check things for my own peace of mind, and this looks like a false claim. Unless it's the British RnB albums chart (if there is such a thing). (Friday 11 January 2019; 19:22)

Re: Revisiting I Don't (87,528) (87,529) by Tijl from Belgium That single wasn't bad at all but as you mentioned the video killed it for me. The burning of the wedding dress was a clever link to WBT but the scenes with MC in lingerie were atrocious. Very tacky indeed. Shame. (Friday 11 January 2019; 14:15)

Revisiting I Don't (87,528) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines A few weeks ago I remember someone here who posted something about adding I Don't to the playlist after Caution plays. Before the album's release, I actually posted about hoping it wasn't the bonus track to Caution, if only for sentimental reasons as the song was very much associated with Stella's reign. I was later relieved to know that Runway was that bonus song. However, out of curiosity, I decided to revisit I Don't by playing it on shuffle along with all the Caution tracks and was reminded that it was not a bad song - it's actually a competent song that unfortunately had an awful travesty of a video. The track fit right into the vibe so smoothly, it might as well be a part of the album. I'd even go as far as saying that while the song could have had a better guest artist, the experimentation that went into it with the sample, the trap beat and Mariah's varied delivery could very well be an early taste of the creativity that was on full display on Caution. (Friday 11 January 2019; 10:13)

Re: Caution #1? (87,524) (87,527) by george golden from uk Number one rnb album. Why are you loosing sleep over this? You don't think she is capable of having a number one rnb album? (Friday 11 January 2019; 01:04)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey sets a new record (87,525) (87,526) by Stacey from USA Next year is the 25th anniversary of AIWFCIY. I hope MC's team gets something together to promote the song. Between that and the popularity of the song in general, I have no doubt the song hits #1. If ever a song deserved to be counted among MC's #1s, it's this song. (Thursday 10 January 2019; 22:28)

Article: Mariah Carey sets a new record (87,525) by Betty from Canada Even Forbes thinks that MC has a shot for a historic 19th #1, lambs are going to have to go harder in 2019. And maybe continue streaming into the New Year to avoid setting another record? (Thursday 10 January 2019; 13:29)

Re: Caution #1? (87,519) (87,524) by Ricardo Edwards from New Zealand What? I see Ella Mai at Number One. I see Mariah With You at #20 on RnB songs. I just don't see Caution on any chart. I know it must be somewhere if Yawl is saying it is. But actually where? Hahaha. (Wednesday 9 January 2019; 17:52)

Anyone into collecting/working with multitracks? (87,523) by oopargentina from Argentina I've been doing so for a while with Adobe Audition. Just wondering if there's any lamb around to share knowledge about the experience of creating new mixes and so. Love from Argentina. (Wednesday 9 January 2019; 15:52)

Re: R. Kelly (87,520) (87,522) by RibbonB from USA Yeah, our it out there, because people will Google anyway. They say R Kelly's Spotify numbers increased since the Lifetime series, some have speculated that many young watchers really didn't know his music. Same is surely speaking out. There are other podcasts where he goes into even more detail. (Wednesday 9 January 2019; 12:59)

Re: R. Kelly (87,502) (87,521) by Marissa from USA Aww Special K I'm so proud of you for giving up his music. I definitely get it, the man is a musical genius and I think people were relieved that he was acquitted so they could go on listening to the music. I think there's something that happens in people's minds where they see someone never truly being held accountable and they think, "Maybe he's not that bad after all since nothing ever happens to him. I don't want to judge based on rumors" and block it out of their mind. I was never a real fan but It Seems Like You're Ready and Step in the Name of Love were in my library, but are now deleted. I wonder how Mariah feels about all of this. (Wednesday 9 January 2019; 06:37)

Re: R. Kelly (87,517) (87,520) by Special K from USA I love how Nick let's it be known straight up he worked with R Kelly. Jay Z and R Kelly had a huge fall out. When they went on tour together R Kelly had a diva fit and left the stage. That tour was canceled. Wow, straight up the Best of Both World's CD is off the chain. Freaking trash bucket R Kelly. (Wednesday 9 January 2019; 02:50)

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)

Caution #1? (87,518) by Ricardo Edwards from New Zealand Um I've read Caution has returned to Number 1 on Top RnB chart. But I can't even see it on any chart. iTunes included. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 23:47)

Re: R. Kelly (87,512) (87,517) by RibbonB from USA Check this out. Most people ignore anything Nick does or says now, but he has done interesting chats on his channel. This one is with Dame Dash about R Kelly and Jay Z. Jay X has had a long association with the "pedo piper". One good thing that can come from this is the downgrading of "pimp culture" in hip hop and Hollywood in general. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 21:31)

Re: R. Kelly (87,508) (87,516) by MusicfanJ from Germany As I said before I have cd's from him from the 90ies. It all started with "I believe I can fly" too. But with all I know now, I will never be able to really enjoy the music again. I will keep the cd's but I won't buy any new music or a featuring. It's really a shame that so many artists think they are above the law. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 19:35)
