Re: GMA (86,235) (86,247) by Myles from CT, USA I agree, loved the way she ended the song here. Should have ended it like that on the album as well. (Monday 19 November 2018; 21:33)

Re: Multiple copies (86,228) (86,246) by Terna from Nigeria Don't listen to him. Lol. (Monday 19 November 2018; 20:57)

One Mo' Gen (86,245) by enwar00 from usa I think it's my fave. I just think the melody and her vocals are so pretty. Especially the backgrounds on my favorite line "go back in, one mo' gen". I also like the structure, how it starts with the chorus and it's understated, I noticed that on 8th Grade as well. And I like the piano and just think the song flows well. I keep saying pretty but that's how I would describe the song overall. Therefore, I say next single or the one after if they're planning on pushing The Distance next.

Negativity towards direction of MC music (86,244) by Carlos Jaramillo from United States She's doing her best with what she's got left. If you had all that fame, would you just "let it go"? Be reasonable. She gave us, at least, 17 years of the most incomparable, vocally elaborate, emotionally polarizing, structurally illusive singing in the history of recorded music. Problem is, respect for history, and for people in general, has dissipated into nonexistence. I've loved her when she could [...]. And now that she delivered us an album that basically sounds like a whole bunch of sound bites or, demo recordings. I just sit back and put on Daydream and respect the history. Because never has there been, and more importantly, another Mariah Carey. Enjoy her while we live her and she's here. (Monday 19 November 2018; 20:25)

With You GMA (86,243) by Lee from UK So Mariah's GMA performance was another "film it twice and select the best vocals" thing. There are videos on Instagram of producers getting people ready for a "second take" and getting them seated. However, these vocals filmed by an audience member are amazing and she should have stuck with these. (Monday 19 November 2018; 20:14)

Re: Giving me Life / Blood Orange (86,225) (86,242) by May from Denmark Isn't the phrase get the funk out? lol I've been hearing it wrong. (Monday 19 November 2018; 20:11)

Re: Amazon sales (86,189) (86,241) by May from Denmark Does the review count even if you didn't purchase through Amazon? (Monday 19 November 2018; 20:08)

Re: Copyriah (86,215) (86,240) by May from Denmark No, Mariah sampled Lil Kim version I Crush On You from the 90s, there's the verse that can be heard "he's a slut, he is a ho, he is a freak, got a different one every day of the week". At the same time this song also sampled from the song Rain Dance... so is a sample within a sample lol. (Monday 19 November 2018; 20:07)

Re: Caution (86,230) (86,239) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Not that I listen to a lot of radio these days, The Distance does feel like the most radio friendly song. (Monday 19 November 2018; 20:02)

Re: With You on GMA (86,229) (86,238) by Shezz from Pk Either that or she's finally getting the pre-records done right. Either way it was pretty good. (Monday 19 November 2018; 19:10)

Re: Copyriah (86,222) (86,237) by Shezz from Pk She’s right but I fail to understand your claim of Mariah copying or sampling this rapper. You’re just discrediting your own ludicrous statement. They have both sampled a much older song. (Monday 19 November 2018; 19:06)

Re: Caution next single should be? (86,227) (86,236) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Li'l Kim and maybe add in Cardi B to secure streaming. I know a lot of lambs get offended when someone suggests using popular artists to help a song, but hey a hit is a hit. And if one song does really well on the charts, it will divert more casual listeners to "Caution" as a whole. "A No No" is just so catchy, it's bound to be big. But there needs to be strategic pushes, like making some of the iconic lyrics in that song go viral (like Ariana's "one taught me love, one taught me patience, one taught me pain" and then "thank you, next"). "A No No" has several slick lines "Get me Ed Shapiro on the phone", "It ain't even worth a slick reply", "Ed Scissorhands aka I cut you off" being some of them. She would also need a music video that has replay value. (Monday 19 November 2018; 18:39)

Re: GMA (86,224) (86,235) by Bill from the UK Also being positive, I really liked the way she ended the song. Wish she'd finished the album version like that rather than the fade out. (Monday 19 November 2018; 18:33)

Re: With You on GMA (86,229) (86,234) by Tevin from USA I thought she did great, looked great also. Does anyone know if she performed more than one song? Also even though it was 99% live, that mic placement had me dying laughing. I'm like come on Mariah you using the mic to hide possible lipsyncing? Lol. Next she will pull a Sia and just sing from behind a wall, for artistic purposes of course. I kid I kid lol. (Monday 19 November 2018; 18:16)

Looking good (86,233) by george golden from uk This album is growing on me so fast. 8th Grade is one of her best songs ever. Giving Me Life is art. I wasn't ready for how good this album is. I hope The Distance has a solid video with a great storyline to make it pop. Please no more beauty shot boring videos. This era is looking good. (Monday 19 November 2018; 18:03)

Re: Caution next single should be? (86,212) (86,232) by george golden from uk Giving Me Life and then 8th Grade. (Monday 19 November 2018; 17:53)

"Giving Me Life" - last minute (86,231) by Billy from Greece I want it to last forever and drown my every mood in it. (Monday 19 November 2018; 17:46)

Caution (86,230) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) This album is just short and sweet/ The second official single will be The Distance. I have a strong feeling about this and A No No will probably follow suit. (Monday 19 November 2018; 16:47)

With You on GMA (86,229) by darrian liu from taiwan This was a stunning, subdued performance. I could even say that it's 99% live, from the belts to the airy vocals. She sounded well-rested, slightly raspy, and there's a nasal quality to her voice that I actually like a lot. The only thing she lipped was possibly the last sustained run "with you booooooy with you, with you, with you, with youuu" but she even did the climax nearly completely live. I'm so proud of this performance. (Monday 19 November 2018; 16:45)

Re: Multiple copies (86,196) (86,228) by B from USA Wait, he makes money from this site? How? Is that featured adds? I always assumed it was just a labor of love, lol. [Webmaster: I wish it would give me some extra money, but no, it's just a labour of love. ] (Monday 19 November 2018; 16:20)

Re: Caution next single should be? (86,217) (86,227) by Shezz from Pk A No No should not be passed up and it is begging for an official Lil Kim remix. I hope she shows Giving You Life some love but I don't think it's commercial enough for the label to get behind but a mini movie video with it would be amazing. (Monday 19 November 2018; 16:16)

Re: 4/10 = 2* (86,186) (86,226) by george golden from uk Why don't you give this up? Where you ever a fan? On her worst day Mariah is better than most artists. The negativity from you is very toxic. She has moved on from her Pop days. In my opinion this is one her best albums. (Monday 19 November 2018; 16:04)

Giving me Life / Blood Orange (86,225) by RibbonB from USA GML has also grown on me. I'm also very intrigued by Blood Orange and now must add his Negro Swan project along with Caution to my collection. I found the connection to GTFO and Giving Me Life hilarious. The movie scene sample when the guy says, now GTFO, or using dem kids words, "Now get a fun cow." There is a real yet deliberately obscured thread in the music. Anyway Dev is such a unique voice and creative, I would also love to see an epic video production with Mimi, slick Rick and Blood Orange. (Monday 19 November 2018; 15:33)

GMA (86,224) by Lara from Middle East I thought it was a mini concert. She only sang "With You". I was expecting more. To be positive, I liked that she wore pants instead of a ballgown. (Monday 19 November 2018; 15:19)

Re: Giving Me Life (86,216) (86,223) by Bobby A from United States I think you are right. Blood Orange is featured on Tinashe's Bet as Devonte Hynes. The song has an amazing breakdown with an awesome guitar solo just like Giving Me Life. Devonte Hynes produced Bet as Blood Diamonds. So funny. I wonder why the name change. Maybe because of the human interest story in Africa having to do with killing of people because of diamond mines. There was a movie made about it. (Monday 19 November 2018; 15:08)
