Re: How did I miss this? (87,550) (87,552) by We are Lambily from USA Its called Runaway and it's on the Japanese version, a little bonus track. This era's biggest mistake was not finding a place for that song. It's so real and so inspirational. It should also be the final single of the era and Mariah need to release it worldwide.

Re: Why doesn't Mariah get tributes like Janet? (87,548) (87,551) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Well, I think most people in the industry feel Janet's career is very much over, and therefore show her tribute. I think it's a good thing Mariah doesn't get that attention yet, because I think people in the industry feel Mariah still have potential for another revival. Wait with the tributes until she has retired. Maybe I'm dellusional, but blissfully so. (Monday 14 January 2019; 14:33)

How did I miss this? (87,550) by Alexis from USA YouTube recommended this song to me, today, but apparently it has been out since Christmas. Does anyone know why it isn't on the album? (Monday 14 January 2019; 14:32)

Re: SWHOF (87,545) (87,549) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Well, you know how legitimately legendary artists are treated in this world. It doesn't matter how big of a name you have or how essential your contribution is to music as a whole, you still will be denied of the accolades you deserve in favor of lesser acts. The whole "you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone" concept is most applicable to music than in any other field ever. I you're lucky, the best you'd probably get is "you don't know what you've got 'til it's late and no one cares anymore". The music industry, out of all facets in entertainment, is the most notorious and brutal for breaking its own stars. It's also the least forgiving. It's actually a miracle that Mariah is still doing her thing. The fact that she's quite possibly the only legend alive who is still capable of the success she's having three decades into her career is just a huge bonus. (Monday 14 January 2019; 12:23)

Why doesn't Mariah get tributes like Janet? (87,548) by Sheila from United States I'm watching these Janet tributes all over these award shows and wonder. She has not sold 1/2 the records Mariah has or had as many number 1's. I will never understand why the public gives her such a hard time. (Monday 14 January 2019; 11:48)

With You #1 (87,547) by Jenny from South Africa With You is number 1 on my local radio station's top 40 chart currently. They only really started playing it on the station in December. (Monday 14 January 2019; 05:38)

Re: R. Kelly (87,544) (87,546) by RibbonB from USA Well it wasn't Mariah shade. He asked the questions about Jay-Z and R Kelly. (Sunday 13 January 2019; 23:59)

Re: SWHOF (87,537) (87,545) by Bill from the UK Without any disrespect to Missy, she hasn't penned 17 number one records (two of which reigned at the top for 16 and 14 consecutive weeks), nor create a universally adorned perennial Christmas classic. Mariah should be inducted for AIWFCIY alone in my opinion. (Sunday 13 January 2019; 23:02)

Re: R. Kelly (87,540) (87,544) by Special K from USA That was a good interview but Nick is shady as hell. (Sunday 13 January 2019; 16:53)

Re: R. Kelly (87,541) (87,543) by Mara from United States Ahh, I totally forgot about her. Thank you Giselle. (Sunday 13 January 2019; 16:25)

Re: R. Kelly (87,541) (87,542) by RibbonB from USA Thanks for pointing that out. I was wondering how the Met ball even played into Nick and Mimi. Unfortunately, people want to assume the worst about Nick and even Mimi. I did hear that Nick found out some stuff which made him end that engagement to Selita abruptly. (Sunday 13 January 2019; 16:00)

Re: R. Kelly (87,532) (87,541) by Giselle UrbanPoshBeauty from US of A Mara, Nick wasn’t talking about Mariah. He’s talking about Selita Ebanks who he was engaged with before Mariah. He proposed to her in Times Square the night of the Met Gala. Dame and Mariah are cool. (Sunday 13 January 2019; 04:24)

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. (Sunday 13 January 2019; 01:17)

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.
