Re: Why 8th Grade? Butterfly marries TEOM (86,615) (86,618) by RibbonB from USA The Forever Mariah Pitchfork interview has more about her 8th Grade title. She describes her mood writing it reminded her of that vulnerable time in 8th Grade when she also felt vulnerable and insecure. (Wednesday 28 November 2018; 19:25)

Re: 8th Grade should be Limitless (86,617) by RibbonB from USA I asked that question as soon as I heard the song. Limitless is the perfect title IMO. Mariah's explanation is odd, that the feeling expressed is melancholy, which reminds her of the 8th grade. The working title was supposedly 8th Grade Rough. That's double speak to avoid saying what it's really about. I have my opinions, but won't ruin it for some. (Wednesday 28 November 2018; 19:05)

Re: Why 8th Grade? Butterfly marries TEOM (86,615) (86,616) by SM from Citizen of the World She said on Genius it was suppose to be "8th Grade Rough" and they dropped the "Rough". 8th grade was rough times for her and anyone who can relate. I like the title. (Wednesday 28 November 2018; 19:01)

Why 8th Grade? Butterfly marries TEOM (86,615) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Question. Why do we think Mariah called the song "8th Grade"? From the amazing music, to vibrant and fresh packaging of the album, to the fantastic promo the era... literally my only gripe with "Caution" is this song title. I love the song. Always on repeat, and love that it's produced by Timba. By why not call it "You're not my world", or something related to the lyrical content or song message. Any insights or thoughts? "Caution" is brilliant and feels like the album Mariah's always wanted to make. It's feels like the marriage of Butterfly and TEOM. (Wednesday 28 November 2018; 17:42)

Re: Christmastime Is In The Air Again (86,564) (86,613) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Me too. Happy Holidays everyone. (Wednesday 28 November 2018; 15:26)

Re: A No No x No Scrubs (melody) (86,608) (86,612) by B from USA No, there are similarities. I saw a video on YouTube about it. (Wednesday 28 November 2018; 13:09)

Obsessed reaches 100M views on YouTube (86,611) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Still not a fan of the song, I still believe it's her worst lead single despite it being a hit, and the Eminem-mocking video is equal parts brilliance and disastrous pettiness, but this is still a cause for celebration.

Re: Caution: a track a day (2 of 7) (86,602) (86,609) by B from USA My sister in law loves it as well. I prefer Caution. (Wednesday 28 November 2018; 12:54)

A No No x No Scrubs (melody) (86,608) by bliss! from Brazil Has anyone noticed how there's a part of "A No No"s melody that is very similar to the chorus of "No Scrubs" by TLC? "No, I don't want your number" is "No, you ain't gonna lie to my face no' mo". If you try to sing TLC's lyrics to the melody of "A No No" you might get what I mean. Or am I just tripping?

Article: Mariah Carey dismisses her haters on Caution (86,607) by Lainsky from Philippines Agree. Giving Me Life is the second best track for me in this album next to Caution. It highlights the bedroom lower vocal range of Mariah and I am loving it. I hope these two tracks will be released commercially with a video together with Stay Long Love You. These three are on repeat on my playlist for almost two weeks now. A No No follows. (Wednesday 28 November 2018; 05:36)

Re: Caution next singles (86,595) (86,606) by RibbonB from USA I agree I instantly love songs 8 and 9 and found them to be radio friendly. Song 9, Stay Long is perfect forop, top 40 and 8, 8th Grade is perfect for A.C. Or any market smart enough to put it on. Tony Braxton's Long as I Live gets lots of love on 94.7 the Wave in LA. Speaking of the Wave, I was delighted to hear them play Mariah's When Christmas Comes yesterday. It's also nice that Mimi has mentioned the song on Fallon and I think on The SeriusXM interviews. I stated recently that the song is one of her most recent best dongs, both well written a d superbly sung. Now she can add a few more from Caution. (Wednesday 28 November 2018; 05:03)

The voice (86,605) by Nicole from US Hi guys. Hope everybody is positive about AIWFCIY this coming holiday season. I have a question and I want to hear your honest opinion. It has been so long and I want to know why you guys think Mariah has not talked about the state of her voice and the changes it went through over the years. Opinions might have been shared through other news articles but as this point in time just want to hear out everyone’s two cents about her voice. Call me stupid or what but I really want to hear since this is a forum anyway. Thank you so much. (Wednesday 28 November 2018; 04:24)

Re: Justice for AIWFCIY (86,565) (86,604) by 123 from USA Hi jacker, it actually peaked at #9 last year on the Hot 100. This year is its best bet to hit #1 as both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are on the same tracking week. Last year it peaked in streams on Christmas Day but since both eve and day were on speedster tracking weeks, the streaming numbers were split. Her team needs to hold off on discounting the song until December 14th to give Ariana's streaming numbers to her video release of Thank U Next to die down. Lambs have already started a campaign and even created a website for the campaign called "#MakeMyWishComeThrough". Click on the red We Are Lambily button and it takes you to their twitter feed. They need to hold off on A No No remix until after Christmas if they want the song to stand a chance against All I Want For a Christmas Is You. If it can hit #1, she will get plenty of press and use the coverage to gain instead on A No No Remix afterwards. Since it's well on its way on beating its #9 position last year, it's best to hold off on a new single. (Wednesday 28 November 2018; 03:47)

Re: Caution next singles (86,580) (86,603) by SM from Citizen of the World I think it's fine if people want to call her the "Queen of Christmas". I say this because she wrote "All I want for Christmas is you" so that makes it her own song. She created a timeless classic every year. Now if she didn't write any of her Christmas songs that she was singing then I would be embarrassed at the title lol. (Wednesday 28 November 2018; 02:54)

Re: Caution: a track a day (2 of 7) (86,599) (86,602) by Special K from USA I absolutely love this song. It's my To The Floor and it's way better than Caution and OMG. (Wednesday 28 November 2018; 02:08)

Re: Caution songs (86,567) (86,601) by B from USA Giving Me Life 8th Grade GTFO With You A No No The Distance Portrait One More Gen Stay Long Love You (featuring Gunna) (Wednesday 28 November 2018; 02:04)

Re: Caution next singles (86,580) (86,600) by B from USA The writers of the original Kim sampled are included and as are the writers of Kim's. (Wednesday 28 November 2018; 01:30)

Caution: a track a day (2 of 7) (86,599) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Stay Long Love You If this buoyant, springtime track sounds too familiar, it's probably because it sounds like something Ariana has done over and over again since her debut album, although we all know it has been perfected by Mariah first, in fact, several times throughout the 2000s. But here, Mariah makes it clear to everyone who's the teacher and who's the student. Yes, Mimi does Ari better than Ari herself and rightfully so. More flirty than sexual, the blippy game console-ish sounds may cheapen the overall feel of the song, but adds a touch of retro playfulness to it. Gunna's part sounds like one of his better guest features, and his voice, while grating at times, works well with Mariah's. The hook is catchy, especially the "you make me, make me wanna" part, and Mariah's sexy slowed-down pre-chorus should have been repeated after Gunna's verse before the second hook, but it's the dizzying layers of harmonies during the middle eight that makes you wish she prolonged that part for just a bit more. This may be considered the worst on the album by most fans thanks to its unsophisticated sound and dumbed-down lyrics, but it's still a cute, feel good song that would have fit right into E=MC2, obviously sandwiched between two slow jams just to vary the pace.

Runway (86,598) by Tyler from USA Obsessed with this song. Does anyone have a link to download? I am desperate as I need it as my 2018 "Make it Happen" anthem. if so, my email is tmang86@gmail.com (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 23:39)

Re: SiriusXM full interview (86,568) (86,597) by 123 from USA Sorry I forgot to include the link to the interview. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 23:22)

Caution (86,596) by anonymous from UK After multiple listens, it gets better and better. The album is coherent and contained. I love it. I feel the least coherent album was Rainbow, I just never got on with it. Caution is defo going to be in my top five MC albums. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 23:04)

Re: Caution next singles (86,584) (86,595) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I live for SLLY. It's one of the strongest hit potentials on the album after "A No No". Gunna also has a lot of streaming pull. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 22:22)

Re: Caution (86,571) (86,594) by Edward from USA I hadn't even noticed I typed "Caption", lol. Well, I'm happy it's a short album. Finally people have come to realize Mariah is not a seller machine as she used to be, that's good. Christmas is definitely going to drown "Caution" up. Reviving in January? Let's see. I like "A No No", but I do think, and I hope to be wrong, that Cardi and Lil Kim are going to waste on another generic remix. I think Mariah should use them on remixes for "The Distance" and "8th Grade". By the way. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 22:03)
