Re: Extended version of O Holy Night (86,732) (86,740) by Bobby A from United States It sounds like the South Central version on Merry Christmas II You. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 22:02)

Re: Why Mariah Carey is getting mom shamed (86,736) (86,739) by Licia from USA Lol I agree there shouldn't be all this hoopla over the situation, but they definitely needed to be in seat belts. I don't know about New York, but in Texas it's against the law. She doesn't get a pass because I love her music. Lol. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 21:38)

Re: Music Box v. Daydream v. Merry Christmas (86,723) (86,738) by Andrew from UK Totally agree. No more to say on that. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 21:36)

Re: Extended version of O Holy Night (86,732) (86,737) by Andrew from UK How funny. We must have the same feed. I listened to that earlier and realised that the extended outtakes are cut and paste. Cant figure out what is genuine and what is fan made. Either way, the "ooh yeah" transports me to a time when Mariah's voice was just magical. Before One Mo Gen shite.

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.

Re: Christmas tour (86,722) (86,733) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'll go with a friend. I live near Frankfurt and the last time I was in Berlin was with the vocational school. So it's a long time ago. Lol. I'm very excited for Berlin and MC. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 19:55)

Extended version of O Holy Night (86,732) by Lee from UK Does anyone know where/when this extended version of O Holy Night was released? (Saturday 1 December 2018; 19:53)

Re: Giving Me Life (86,718) (86,731) by Hector from Mexico Great song. The rap fits very well with the rest of the song. I love the "your gold fronts look better than mines did" part. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 19:48)

Re: Christmas tour (86,711) (86,730) by MusicfanJ from Germany I was even suprised that she will do one show in Germany for the Christmas concert. Last year it was only Paris and the UK. And the last concert in Cologne during her "SSFT" wasn't sold out. Anyway I hope we'll enjoy her concert. Can't believe it's next week. Frohe Weihnachten Andrew. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 19:45)

Re: Music Box v. Daydream v. Merry Christmas (86,723) (86,729) by Hector from Mexico Merry Christmas is glorious. It's a perfect album and Mariah's masterpiece. Sorry Butterfly. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 19:33)

Re: 8th Grade (86,724) (86,728) by Bobby A from United States That's my jam too. I totally agree. We need a 8 track album next summer with only Timbaland songs. They make magic together. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 19:08)

Re: 8th Grade (86,724) (86,727) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I'm glad to hear you love this track too. So pretty. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 19:04)

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. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 18:21)

Caution (86,725) by Special K from USA It took me awhile but Caution has really grown on me. The album really takes off from tracks 3-10. Still really not feeling OMG but Caution is even starting to grow on me. At the end of the day Mariah really did put out a good album. For me I still feel it could have used perhaps more ballads. Portrait (what a beautiful song, almost made me cry) isn't enough but overall this album is a good album. I see why Caution has gotten so many positive reviews. Is it me or has anyone noticed all of the media spin positivity love Mariah has been getting? Caution may not sell well however it appears that Mariah's positive image is selling very well and that is a beautiful thing. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 18:04)

8th Grade (86,724) by Special K from USA Wow 8th Grade is my new jam. This song is a mid tempo ballad. The infectious finger snap accompanied with the harp like plucking sound and those Timberland beats complement and enhance Mariah's voice. I love the way Timberland broke it down at the end of the song bouncing his beats against Mariah's high notes. Reminds me of a call and response cadence. 8th Grade is one of the best produced songs on Caution. I hope they release it to radio. Mariah and Timberland need to work on more songs together. It's all about the 8th Grade. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 17:54)

Re: Music Box v. Daydream v. Merry Christmas (86,721) (86,723) by Bill from the UK Merry Christmas pretty much eclipses everything vocally. It was, dare I say, her last full on flawless vocal delivery. Daydream is brilliant but her vocals were nasally and brassy and she started breaking up her melisma runs on that album. Then it went downhill from there with her vocals getting worse with every album. Music Box was so middle of the road Mariah almost has a stripe painted down her face. Again, some great moments (AYNAF, Never Forget You), but she doesn't sing full throttle like on Merry Christmas. I can't fault a single line she sings. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 17:42)

Re: Christmas tour (86,691) (86,722) by yiorgos from Germany , Berlin I will go to the Berlin concert. Any lambs going to the Berlin show? (Saturday 1 December 2018; 15:59)

Music Box v. Daydream v. Merry Christmas (86,721) by Norman from USA Vocals only. I know that Daydream is considered her vocal prime, but there's something about her vocals on Merry Christmas that seems to stand just a tad higher. MC > DD, MB. I can't decide between DD and MB. What say you? (Saturday 1 December 2018; 10:16)

Re: Almost Home (86,705) (86,720) by Shezz from Pk The temperature is rising, crack a window. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 08:55)

Re: Christmas tour (86,701) (86,719) by Lara from Middle East I'm going to her concert in Paris, December 7th. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 07:28)

Giving Me Life (86,718) by Stacey from USA Ok so tonight after I got my kiddos to bed, I put in Caution and let it play for the first time. Decided to take a few seconds break from Christmas music. This gem of a song came on. What a gem. The arrangement is so different. Edgy. Haunting. Beautiful. I found myself immediately wanting to sing along even before the song was done. Is there anyone that could make me an edit? Shorten it? The rap just doesn't need to be there. Takes away from the song whereas Ty Dolla fits right in on The Distance. Anyways this song is a definite winner. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 06:16)

Grinchmas already? (86,717) by Nikki from usa Mariah's enjoying some success and fans are having a good time, so it's time for the wet blanket. Typically, sales drop by 50% or more in the second week for album debuts which has been an ongoing trend for years now. Obviously, a second week isn't going to compare to weeks of pre-orders on top of a week of release for a debut. That should be common sense, but let's try to push a common occurrence as proof that people don't like this album because everyone has a right to my opinion. It's almost as good as complaining Mariah doesn't sing songs she doubts people are familiar with as if Mariah is vapid for heeding supply and demand. I know if I was a singer, I'd bypass the hit songs and current tracks from the album I'm promoting to sing obscure songs only a minority knows about. Clearly, that's the best career move. Grinchmas onward. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 03:42)

What if Caution was released in 1994 (86,716) by Bobby A from United States I was just thinking today that if Caution was released in 1994, MC would have given us some powerhouse vocals. GTFO would have been sung in the same airy vocal style similar to Underneath The Stars. 8th Grade would have been sung in a higher key with MC's vocals swooping over Timbaland's keyboard programming. Giving Me Life's vocals would sound stronger and better. One Mo Gen's vocals wouldn't be so hard to understand as MC sings in that fast rapping style. Stay Long Love You would have some strong whistle notes at the end of the song. Caution would have some stronger Fantasy type vocals. Portrait would have been that powerhouse vocal with a gospel choir that Caution is missing. With You would have been sung in a totally different way. It would have been We Belong Together 1994.
