WWHL (86,297) by Licia from USA Just got done watching. I'm so happy she may do Glitter medley on tour. It sucks that it took 17 years for us to appreciate it and for her to finally feel she can be proud of the album, but better late than never. I appreciate Andy for speaking on that good side/bad side crap. I loved how she dropped that knowledge about publishing and people recording her songs. Businessriah/Smartriah kills Divariah all day. The highlight for me was when she mimicked Aretha lol. All in all it was a great and fun interview. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 16:49)

Spotify (86,296) by Tevin from USA I'm happy to see Mariah's sale projections, quick question. I'm purchasing one or two physical copies tomorrow. I pre saved the album on Spotify, but I'm wondering how do I make sure I'm streaming the album as a whole and not just a single or song from the album? As long as the album is saved can I skip around songs or will that effect the album streaming count? Sorry for all the questions I just want to make sure I'm boosting her album and not just particular songs. Thanks. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 16:46)

Re: Caution next single should be? (86,290) (86,295) by RibbonB from USA B that's light work for mostly fans only. Sure It's a cool fun sounding song, attached to a familiar, funky sample. But Mariah's spitfire, rapid storytelling is both too coded and specific to draw the interests of the masses. This one needs a spontaneous challenge, with people spitting over the track, either guys shooting their shot to her constant no, or ladies co signing why she should say no. Lastly, since Mimi can't dance and this one is so fast ,it would make for awkward live moments with the song. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 16:26)

Re: A No No feat. Cardi B and Li'l Kim (86,288) (86,294) by jaker20 from US This to me is the best Mariah effort since TEOM. The album definitely needs some high profile remix and ft. Even if the album doesn't top the charts, the tracks shouldn't go to waste. I hope she does some unexpected ft. collabs. I doubt she can get Sheeran but how about Drake returning the favor? (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 16:04)

Re: Sales (86,289) (86,293) by jaker20 from US Stream it and let the whole album loop overnight. Then on YouTube play the whole album and just let it loop all day or night. Fanbases do that in the streaming era. I know lambs doesn't have to but streaming is just as important if not more. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 16:00)

Re: A No No feat. Cardi B and Li'l Kim (86,286) (86,292) by Lexingz from Estonia Agreed. Kim is of course the obvious choice but Cardi would be a great match for Mariah's whole vibe as well. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 15:25)

Re: A No No feat. Cardi B and Li'l Kim (86,286) (86,291) by Shezz from Pk You know her saying it on Andy Cohen and putting it out there kind of sealed its fate. When has a collaboration that she has explicitly wanted ever happened? The only ones that happen are the ones that she is quiet about. Still hoping that it comes through. Other than it being epic, it would without a shadow of a doubt be commercially successful and that would definitely bring more general public attention to the album, otherwise it’s going to be off the album charts in a few weeks sadly. If the remix happens, it has to be the next single. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 15:25)

Re: Caution next single should be? (86,227) (86,290) by B from USA In less than a month it has over a million views on YouTube so it's definitely not just fans feeling the song. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 15:23)

Sales (86,289) by T from USA The sales projections were raised from early projections by 3k. They are reporting that it could end up on the high end of 55,000. Here's a reminder to keep streaming this week. We are doing it and if it can surprise the whole industry and get to 60,000 in its first week it will be a huge success. It could even mean more promotion and a longer era. So keep buying, keep streaming it will make a difference. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 15:21)

Re: A No No feat. Cardi B and Li'l Kim (86,286) (86,288) by T from USA Mariah has made a return to form with her new album Caution. It literally is everything. But a return to her exciting remixes (with Carid and Kim) would be the icing on the cake. Make it happen. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 15:18)

Re: After this promo week (86,274) (86,287) by Licia from USA I hope the promo doesn't stop anytime soon. They still need to sell these tour tickets. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 15:08)

A No No feat. Cardi B and Li'l Kim (86,286) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah saying she wants that collaboration made My day. I've been wanting this since the moment I heard that song. I hope they pull through with it because it would be huge. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 13:25)

Re: The other 6 songs (86,255) (86,285) by Shezz from Pk I wasn't feeling Caution and OMG much till yesterday. Caution clicked first and then OMG. I wish they had only released one song and not 4 because now I only wanna hear the other 6 and that feels too short. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 11:51)

Funko Pop (86,284) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway My Funko Pop Vinyl Figure of Mariah arrived today, I love it. We have been listening to "Merry Christmas" on vinyl all day. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 11:30)

Re: Caution next single should be? (86,270) (86,283) by Norman from USA Amen to that. It's on a perpetual loop here. I just wonder if she'll actually do it. Big productions haven't been a thing for her since about TMB. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 10:59)

Re: Caution next single should be? (86,252) (86,282) by Norman from USA Can you imagine a John Waters directed video for A No No? I'd die. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 10:47)

Re: GMA (86,258) (86,281) by darrian liu from taiwan She did though? The performance was clearly live, save for a few lipped lines at the end. What she did was piece together two performances together, which is unnecessary tbh, she sounded great in the audience video. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 10:44)

Re: 8th Grade (86,271) (86,280) by Bobby A from United States This song called 8th Grade is killing me with every listen. MC and Timbaland creative a song that so darn good. And Portrait evokes MC and Big Jim at the piano. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 06:33)

Re: GMA (86,261) (86,279) by Fresh from USA Lmao I didn't even notice it was dubbed. I liked the performance though. But true lambilies know the reason for that ginormous microphone. To hide her miming. Which I thought was unnecessary because she's actually gotten better at lip syncing. Not completely believable but still would fool a regular non-lambily. Maybe GMA's studio crisp lighting and camera really capture every fake movement of the mouth. Mariah's face is also much more "in your face", with the way it was filmed. Nonetheless, great job utilizing vocal tracks that didn't make the album version of the song. At least she's being creative with those. It's not completely foiled and wasted. Hide-rophone should've been removed though. Hiding your mouth only gives more miming speculation. Doesn't really keep you safe. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 05:48)

Caution track review (lenghy, bring a splash) (86,278) by Will from Australia GTFO Solid song, catchy and different to what you would expect from a MC track. Production is on point and probably the most current sounding song on the album. Vocals are weak though at times and sound strained. It'd be interesting to know when this was recorded as her vocals lately sound much stronger than what was laid down here. Video is one of the better vanity videos we've gotten from her. With You Somewhat boring and an attempt to have a big belting ballad on the albumin but without the punch of any of her previous works. The repetitive beat and lyrics are too basic in their composition. Disappointing that this is the one big ballad that made the cut. Caution Refreshing pace and throwback to the sound of Aaliyah. Definitely a grower, didn't care much for the climax repeating of Caution over and over, less is more. A No No Can't get enough of this bop. Lyrics are on point and the song is full of so much diversity that some of the previous tracks lacked. Interestingly I don't find the repeats of no no annoying on this one. Probably the most catchy song on the album and should get the single treatment. The Distance A cool jam, just flows well and the beat is everything when it kicks in. Vocally the climax is a real highlight of what Mariah can still do, especially when she sang it live on Fallon, sounded better than the recording when she hit the belts. Had trouble understanding what she was singing (for laughs and for life I thought was flies flies lol) Another song worth a single offering. Giving Me Life Where do I start. Epic. One of the best produced songs she's ever recorded and a real highlight not just on the album but in her career. On first listen I was already digging the roof vibes from it, but my god, when that outro kicked in, gagged. Just love the song so much, especially as the first part is so happy and love sick but then the outro has something haunting and menacing to it. Get some BOTH and TBO vibes from it too. Take a bow MC, giving me life. One Mo'Gen Sounds like it was a filler from TEOM that never made the cut. Not digging it and maybe that's because I'm coming off the high of the last track. Not sure if MC's voice on this one, sounds different but not in a way I'm down with. The song is nice and easy to listen to but I find it boring. 8th Grade Another favourite and just the type of song you can drift away daydreaming to. Beat is very similar to some other songs on the album. Vocally it sounds like it came from an earlier album as it's very strong compared to something like GTFO. While the outro on GML takes that to another level, the outro on this does the complete opposite for me. Just doesn't fit and leaves me asking wtf was that. Kinda sours the song. Stay Long Love You How you want it how you want how you want it... on the cutting floor. Only song I think is a pure filler on the album. Just sounds a mess to me. Portrait If I'm honest I reckon this just doesn't suit the tone of the album but I get why it's there but I feel like it's very formulated to fit the 'Outside', 'Looking In' and 'Petals' criteria which for me makes it sound more forced. I do like it until the bridge which sounds too different to the rest of the song. Overall I really really like the album, probably a 7.5 out of 10 for me (LTL circa 1991). Probably would've liked some wow ballads like when I first listened to WYC or WBT. Runway should've bumped SLLY from the list. Glad lots of fans are loving the album and for so many different tings which is a positive sign for someone like MC with such a large fan base. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 05:29)

Re: Giving me life (86,263) (86,277) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Thank you for this Andrew. For me, no version of O Holy Night will ever be as sublime as Mariah's. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 03:12)

Re: Giving Me Life (86,223) (86,276) by RibbonB from USA He has had several pseudonyms. A very interesting man. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 03:09)

Re: Giving me Life / Blood Orange (86,242) (86,275) by RibbonB from USA Lol yes it is get the fudge out, but on Fallon Mariah said she was reluctant to let the kids hear the song, but they just say get the fun cow. Cute story anyway. Look for the interview on YouTube. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 03:07)

After this promo week (86,274) by Bobby A from United States What is next after this promo week for Caution? I was hoping for a second single annoucement this week. I just hope the Caution momentum doesn't stop. Too bad we don't have a Touch My Body right now to drive album sales and radio spins. Maybe a plan will surface we dont know about yet. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 01:50)

Re: The other 6 songs (86,255) (86,273) by Licia from USA I enjoy when we differ on what tracks we like or don't like. I might motivate someone else to go back and take another listen to a song that I love. That sure happens for me alot. A No No and Runway seems to be favorites and I'm not feeling them, but because so many people like the songs I'm willing to listen One Mo Gen ( I'm corny lol) to them. (Tuesday 20 November 2018; 01:43)
