Re: Portrait (86,151) (86,153) by Bobby A from United States She got very emotional towards the end of the song. If you listen closely at the end, you can hear where she is about to cry. The voice will crack when you are about to cry. Portrait is one her saddest songs ever. One of my album favorites right now. It makes me wanna cry because I can understand what she feeling in the song. I walk around everyday feeling like people and family members don't like me or understand me. I can tell that I rub some of you the wrong way. I am sorry if I do, I don't mean to. I overcompensate in a lot things that I do or say to make people like me. I reflect everyday on the portrait of my life. Please don't judge me. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 23:31)

Re: Funky Pop Rocks Vinyl Mariah figure (85,938) (86,152) by Will from Australia How cute is it. For my birthday a few weeks back I got it as a gift (I also was given a full life sized cardboard cutout of Mariah which is giving me life). Was so hard to decide on keeping the Mariah figure in its box or taking it out of it. Decided eventually to take her out and put her beside a little Christmas tree as I already put my decorations up.

Portrait (86,151) by MusicfanJ from Germany First I love the song. For me it's the saddest song after "Looking in" and "Petals". I hear so much pain on it, it's almost heartbreaking. But honestly what is going on with her voice? At the end it sounds almost like it hurts to sing it that way. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 22:30)

Re: Caution album signing (86,128) (86,150) by enwar00 from usa Jared that sounds like such an exciting moment for you. So did your shirt light up then after she sang or what? How funny. I geeked out way worse, and it was the 90s, so all I could meander out was "Mariah I love you, you're the bomb." (Saturday 17 November 2018; 22:28)

Re: Multiple copies (86,146) (86,149) by Bill from the UK If Mariah gets to number one because Caution sold 5 copies more than the number two album, then I will change my stance on people buying multiple copies. I suppose it’s your hard earned money and you can do what you wish with it, but if you want to support Mariah, maybe donate the 30 dollars to the Fresh Air Fund, or one of the other organisations she champions. But who am I. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 22:23)

Re: Multiple copies (86,146) (86,148) by enwar00 from usa Well, I bought a CD because I like the sound quality in my car and it didn't have Bluetooth. With Amazon they usually also autorip to my Amazon player and I can stream it there or download it, but it didn't. I just noticed her website is selling limited editions such as a cassette, picture disc vinyls, and the alternate cover with the M, and these include a download. So, I may get something like that and display it and have the download on my phone. Haven't decided yet. And I may buy a CD or vinyl for my sister as a Christmas gift. Irregardless people earn their money and are free to spend it as they please. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 22:20)

Re: Multiple copies (86,146) (86,147) by Myles from CT, USA Nope never said that. I want her to get that number one album. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 21:52)

Re: Multiple copies (86,145) (86,146) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Why do you want to but multiple copies of the same album? So that Mariah gets even richer than she already is? Or so that she debuts higher on the Billboard Hot 100? I thought you all said you didn't care about the charts anymore. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 21:46)

Multiple copies / Jimmy Fallon (86,145) by Chicago Lamb from USA Firstly, Lambs: Be reminded if you purchase multiple physical CD's, make sure they are rung up on separate receipts. Somebody I follow on Twitter said otherwise the extra copies won't count. Secondly, Mariah was great on Jimmy Fallon but did she pull an Aretha by singing with Ty Dolla $ign on his part?

Re: Genius interview (86,126) (86,144) by Billy from Greece How about letting a person express themselves they way they want instead of dictating how they "should" do things right and correct? I saw a similar post that read along the same lines, "Mariah should speak this way, that way." Are you guys serious? (Saturday 17 November 2018; 21:23)

Re: Genius interview (86,133) (86,143) by Billy from Greece Yes she did, though she seemed hopeful that they will find it eventually. But even the thought makes want to leave that lowlife bald. I presume the videos that were leaked with the "hand" pressing play belonged to either of the two daughters. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 21:19)

Re: Clueless (86,140) (86,142) by B from USA Once More Again, I think. Not entirely sure. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 21:19)

Re: Clueless (86,140) (86,141) by Lafa from Sweden On Mo' Gen means One More Again. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 21:12)

Clueless (86,140) by Jamie from UK Probably showing my age here but what does One Mo' Gen mean? Loving the album. Feels like we got quality edgy Mariah back. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 21:01)

Article: Mariah runs into Sandra Bernhard after historic feud (86,139) by Betty from Canada I can't believe SB's comment after MC posed with her. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 20:56)

Stay Long Love You (86,138) by Lafa from Sweden Stay Long Love You reminds me of "Hey Macarena". Really funny. Love it. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 20:48)

Finally, something I like (86,137) by Lila from United States Honestly, I don't like most of the album but I appreciate there's something that I do like on it. I'm really liking Giving Me Life, Stay Long Love You, and Caution. Thanks to Edward I also really like Runway. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 20:42)

Caution review (86,136) by Mirage_Nunez from America I'm really enjoying this new album. I find myself never knowing what to expect with (certain songs) on new Mariah albums, so what that said I was pleasantly surprised with some of the new tracks. I'm ranking the songs in two parts. Previous released songs: 1) The Distance definitely want a epic 80s style dramatic video for this in several different tints (blue, pink, yellow etc). Piggy backing off her Fallon performance maybe she should channel the 80s cartoon gem with big hair, fishnets, and a beautiful tattered short dress (also in the spirit of Glitter as well). 2) With You. Classic Mariah warm comforting vocals, perfect for this season. Love love this song. 3) GTFO. Edgy yet laid back and relatable. 4) A No No. I like it, very party anthem, I can see it being a club jam across America. New album songs: 1) One Mo Gen is actually my favorite track on the album. Pure gold. I absolutely love the harmonies, I love the melody and the production, it just perfectly captures a mood. I can imagine this being one of those melodies that came to Mariah in which she has to hurry up and record before she forgot it. 2) Caution gives me straight up Aaliyah vibes, I love the melody, the guitar riffs, and the overall smoothness of the song. 3) Giving Me Life. I'm glad she did a lower register song and this song just grabs you, pulls you in and makes want to listen immediately. Almost like it should be in a movie scene; I can really see a mini movie video for this one. 4) Portrait. The classic introspective track every Mariah album needs. Beautifully written and delivered. I really want her to close the tour with this one. 5) Stay Love (Love You). I enjoyed the bounciness of the track, the album needed this note on it. 6) 8th Grade is a good track, sung well, produced well. I just haven't connected with it yet like the others. Kind of how I never connected with Stay The Night from TEOM which is also a greatly produced track, but all in I still appreciate both songs. The overall the album was a vibalious with mellow moods and sprinkles of stone grooves. In lament terms a great effort. Very current, fresh sounding while keeping the integrity of her musical identity. Nothing was contrived or trying too hard. It's just a smooth organic in touch updated Mariah. Her artistry feels very authentic on this album, I can feel that she's really expressing herself as an artist and not necessarily chasing radio hits. She has given us so much musically over the years: she's given vocals, she's given great lyrical content, she's experimented with her sound, she has been a trendsetter. So whatever you feel didn't get on this album, she has already covered in one of her other 15 albums. At this point I'm just glad to get new, fresh, current music from her, because she has nothing left to prove and could easily stop doing music period. I'm pleased and grateful for this album. Thank you Mariah. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 20:26)

New music (86,135) by Tameka walker from United states I love Mariah Carey's new music. Also I purchased three copies to help out. I also want to purchase a copy from iTunes to help. I am one of Mariah 's biggest fan. Her voice is unmatched and second to none. Her songwriting skills are amazing. I need another lamb to email me and explain how to download. I hope all the lambs enjoy the new music. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 20:02)

Re: Stream Caution (86,108) (86,134) by Myles from CT, USA Yes. So far I have purchased 5 copies of the album. Yes that is extreme but that is the best $50.00 I spent in a long time. Currently also streaming on Apple Music while at work. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 19:32)

Re: Genius interview (86,081) (86,133) by B from USA Did she imply that Stella stole her original demo? (Saturday 17 November 2018; 19:17)

Runway (86,132) by Terna from Nigeria Ok I'm convinced Mariah loves and cherishes her Asian fans much more because this song is everything. Wow, It really completes this album and leaves a bright hopeful feeling as the official album closer "Portrait" leaves this dark uncertain feeling that left me bothered, but with lyrics like "let love be your runway" and those whistles and belts at the end, one word - euphoric put a big smile on my face. God I love this woman. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 19:02)

8th Grade (86,131) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) This is my jam. Bravo MC and Timbaland. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 18:55)

Re: Runway (86,109) (86,130) by Bill from the UK Runway is a great song. As I don't care much for GTFO, I actually (gasp) replaced it with Runway on my iTunes. Runway at the end ruined the impact of Portrait, but it sounds great starting the album off. Woke up this morning with One Mo Gen running around in my head. Still flawed by that one. It sounds so retro, and has a fun "Heat" vibe to it. Just love it. I've been playing the album all day, haven't enjoyed one this much since E=MC2. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 18:18)

#1's (86,129) by Billy from Greece Happy twentieth anniversary to one of the most iconic (not) greatest hits compilations in pop culture with an equally iconic cover. Wait a minute, this is too deep. "Sweetheart", "When You Believe", "I Still Believe", "Theme from Mahogany", I adore the bonus tracks. I'm all caught in "Caution" so I'll just leave it here. Twenty years? Oh my.
