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)

Re: Copyriah (86,215) (86,222) by Kevyn from Germany I've asked Schwesta Ewa (a german rapper) via Instagram and she immediately wrote back that the original is "Rain Dance" by Jeff Lorber Fusion. (Monday 19 November 2018; 14:58)

Re: The recent interviews (86,210) (86,221) by B from USA Wait, it's jeans with a black sequined top/bodysuit tooked in. (Monday 19 November 2018; 14:50)

GMA (86,220) by B from USA Mariah is rocking a pantsuit and looks flawless. Singing live and it's obvious. She wisely used the same arrangement she performed at the AMA's. (Monday 19 November 2018; 14:47)

Re: Caution album (86,208) (86,219) by B from USA I think JD was referring to A No No. (Monday 19 November 2018; 14:18)

Re: Caution next single should be? (86,217) (86,218) by B from USA She probably doesn't want to have to edit it to release it as a single and honestly I don't blame her. It's perfect as is. (Monday 19 November 2018; 14:16)

Re: Caution next single should be? (86,212) (86,217) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Stay Long Love You" (I love the song, it's very catchy and Gunna apparently is huge on streaming scores so that's always a plus), "A No No" (we cannot have a "Migrate" injustice repeat), or "Giving Me Life" (but I don't know if Mariah intends for it to be a single because in one of the interviews she was saying something along the lines of this song not trying to be a single or anything). (Monday 19 November 2018; 13:58)

Re: Giving Me Life (86,203) (86,216) by RibbonB from USA Probably because of Dev Hynes'/Blood Orange's massive guitar solo. (Monday 19 November 2018; 13:15)

Copyriah (86,215) by Kevyn from Germany Mariah sampled Schwesta Ewa's song "Tunneln und so" for "A No No". (Monday 19 November 2018; 12:54)

Re: Robert Anthony (86,195) (86,214) by Bobby A from United States Thanks. Runway is a total gem. (Monday 19 November 2018; 12:27)

Giving Me Life (86,213) by Bill from the UK The more time I spend with this album, the more this song creeps up in my ranking. One Mo Gen and The Distance are still at the top, but I agree with all of you that are praising this song. It has such a dark, moody atmosphere. It really puts me in mind of how I felt about The Roof when I first heard it. I'm also really enjoying Stay Long Love You. I had pretty low expectations for this release but I'm really happy that she's delivered what I feel is a concise, coherent album sung in her true voice without MIAM levels of manipulation. I love how the lower register has been brought to the forefront and the upper harmonies are in the background, as previously it was always the other way round. A solid effort and I really do wish her the best for this project and era, as the poor dear's been through a lot these past few years. (Monday 19 November 2018; 12:08)

Caution next single should be? (86,212) by Sheila from United States 8th Grade or Giving Me life. (Monday 19 November 2018; 11:38)

Spotify (86,211) by Lara from Middle East Can someone explain a bit how streaming counts for sales predictions? Spotify has been available in our country since 3 days only (just in time for her album). I've put her album on shuffle play. (Monday 19 November 2018; 06:39)

The recent interviews (86,210) by Licia from USA I've been watching some of her radio interviews for the Caution release and I have to say I love them. We are getting funny and intelligent Mariah and not that ditzy diva b*tch (whom I find funny at times, but that persona can get overplayed). I'm glad she either figured out or someone helped her to see she's awesome to watch without all that extra crap. I was crying laughing on the part of the TRL interview where Sway highlighted some of her appearances. She was so scared thinking they were going to show that popsicle episode. I applaud her for making a joke of it and handling it so well because I would have fake fainted before they started playing the package. (Monday 19 November 2018; 05:26)

With You (86,209) by B from USA With You is currently at #11 on the Adult Contemporary, #39 on the Adult Top 40 chart, #14 Adult R&B Songs, #16 on the Hot R&B Songs chart, and #41 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. (Monday 19 November 2018; 04:55)

Caution album (86,208) by Bobby A from United States This album gets better with every listen. I think the albums really kicks in after A No No. A real slow jam quiet storm type of feel to Caution. 8th Grade makes wonder why in the heck did it take 20 something years for MC to get a Timbaland track on her album. If there is a Part 2 next March, will it be 10 brand new tracks or a deluxe edition with additional tracks? I am anxious to hear those aggressive tracks JD spoke about and any additional Timbaland, No ID, and Poo Bear tracks. I really hate when Portrait concludes with a such soft climax. It leaves me wanting more from Caution. (Monday 19 November 2018; 04:25)

Re: The other 6 songs (86,201) (86,207) by IheartMC from USA I agree with you. I loveeeee the song Caution due to the simplicity of the lyrics and melody. Mariah tends to use too many words sometimes for her songs. I also love that but some songs are meant to be repetitive when the hook is so on point. Giving Me Life is also another gem that is on constant replay. (Monday 19 November 2018; 03:55)

Re: The other 6 songs (86,201) (86,206) by B from USA I'm also loving Caution, the song and the album, lol. (Monday 19 November 2018; 03:43)

Predictions for first-week sales of Caution are in (86,205) by B from USA We can send Caution to #1 if we would all work together and play our parts by buying the album and streaming it ad naseum. (Monday 19 November 2018; 03:42)

Re: Giving Me Life (86,198) (86,204) by Shezz from Pk Right? This song is epic. Easily my favourite off Caution from the first listen. (Monday 19 November 2018; 03:18)
