Re: Mariah sales (86,532) (86,544) by Special K from USA I am praying right now as we speak that she wears a grill in the video. (Monday 26 November 2018; 15:27)

Re: Mariah sales (86,524) (86,543) by Special K from USA Lol, I have been a fan of Mariah's since 1992. Trust, I get her fan base was divided and alot of fans jumped ship when she switched up her image and went more urban, oops, excuse me "ghetto". Edward, I see you totally don't get what I am trying to say but that's ok. Interesting to me how you view Hip Hop and wearing braids as totally a ghetto hood thing but hey that's ok. As an African/Cuban American raised in a middle class family growing up listening to Hip Hop and wearing braids I didn't realize I was a wanna be ghetto hood chick looking for a pass. My African American mother would straight pass out holding her heart like she was in an episode of Sanford and Son. Hearing my parents cuss every once in awhile (trust my Cuban father cussed way more) and certain family members/friends having nick names like Fingers and Ghost I guess was ghetto as hell. I guess being ghetto would also apply to my Italian/Irish husband whose nick name is Money. Yes, everybody in his family calls him Money. I betta get my mother in law on the phone and tell her she is a wanna be ghetto hood chick. See folks like me and Mariah aren't trying to get a ghetto pass. Wearing braids, listening to Hip Hop, etc, is what we "ghetto hood folks" see as apart of our culture. So, is our culture ghetto? Is it urban? Hmmm. I happen to think Mariah looks absolutely stunning when she wears her hair in braids and I wish she would wear her hair in its natural "nappy ghetto" state more often. Ok now I am being sarcastic. Honestly Edward it's all good and I am sure that there are plenty of folks who agree with you but you know I don't give sh$t. Lol. Your still one of my favorites "OG's" in the MCA. We been rocking on this board for a long time together. (Monday 26 November 2018; 15:21)

Re: Lil Kim (86,537) (86,542) by Licia from USA Shezz I saw the Missy tweet. She needs to go ahead and hop on it too. Bill I agree on hoping this remix doesn't end up like Why You Mad. It definitely looked better on paper. I'm hoping the new team won't allow the same sh*t show type remix to leave the studio. (Monday 26 November 2018; 15:19)

Re: Selected Target stores only (86,525) (86,541) by B from USA So, would I. (Monday 26 November 2018; 15:08)

Re: Mariah sales (86,523) (86,540) by B from USA My message wasn't directed at you. (Monday 26 November 2018; 15:08)

Re: Mariah sales (86,524) (86,539) by B from USA I'm so confused by your last to messages, Edward. I still adore you, though. (Monday 26 November 2018; 15:07)

Re: Caution vs. MIAM (86,522) (86,538) by B from USA The Walmart sales associate I spoke said as much and that they were suprised by the demand for the album. On Friday, Black Friday, Caution was yet again sold out. (Monday 26 November 2018; 15:05)

Re: Lil Kim (86,531) (86,537) by Shezz from Pk It looked like he was trying to rope Missy in on twitter. He implied that Lil Kim sent him her verse and he wanted Missy to hear it. (Monday 26 November 2018; 15:05)

Re: Lil Kim (86,531) (86,536) by Bill from the UK I do worry the remix of A No No will be ballsed up like Crapfinity's "Why You Crap" was. On paper it looked like it could be okay but the result was the biggest mess she's ever put her name to. (Monday 26 November 2018; 14:55)

Re: Caution (86,526) (86,535) by B from USA Rumor has it Mariah is releasing a spring/summer album after the Caution world tour wraps up. This rumor is nothing if not consistent and persistent, lol. (Monday 26 November 2018; 14:54)

With You (86,534) by B from USA With You is still #11 on the Adult Contemporary chart and climbed from #14 to #13 on the Adult R&B Songs and from #41 to #38 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. (Monday 26 November 2018; 14:48)

Re: Lil Kim (86,531) (86,533) by RibbonB from USA Why was DJ Sasquatch acting like he could put something together? JD was acting like the song producer, but for no credit on the record. This is not going smoothly. (Monday 26 November 2018; 14:12)

Re: Mariah sales (86,514) (86,532) by RibbonB from USA So true. That talk is so tired. But it would be funny if Mimi wore a grill on the A No No remix with Lil Kim and Cardi. Some brass knuckles too. The thought is funny, the reality would not go over well. (Monday 26 November 2018; 14:07)

Lil Kim (86,531) by Licia from USA JD tweeted last night that he had talked to Lil Kim. Hopefully that A No No remix is a go. I'm still not liking the song, but I'm hoping the remix (if it happens) will help change my mind. I'm always open for trying to like songs except for Crapfinity and the Why You Effing Made This remix. Lol. (Monday 26 November 2018; 13:54)

Re: Mariah sales (86,514) (86,530) by Licia from USA Special K you got to it before I could say anything. There's nothing more to say. (Monday 26 November 2018; 11:55)

Re: Lambs vs reality (86,505) (86,529) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Okay, hoooold up: One, many of us are okay with these numbers. Two, yes, Caution can be classified as average - by Mariah's own standards only. But this "average" material sure beats the crap out of any mainstream R&B record out there right now. Not to give more credence to critic and customer reviews, but not even TEOM has received such universal acclaim. Like I previously said, the entire internet cannot be wrong. Three, 50k copies sold in 2018 from an artist pushing 50 who is barely streamed save for one song every Christmas is a remarkable achievement in a year when the bestselling album hasn't even sold 1 million copies. Even better when compared to MIAMTEC's 58k in 2013 after a moderate hit in #Beautiful, a minor hit in You're Mine (Eternal) and the AI exposure. And that was when streaming was nowhere near the beast it is now. We appreciate what we get. (Monday 26 November 2018; 11:30)

Re: Mariah sales (86,514) (86,528) by Jono from USA Say it louder for the people in the back. (Monday 26 November 2018; 05:03)

Re: Lambs vs reality (86,512) (86,527) by Andrew from UK Another day on the B Message Board. Have a day off, won't you? Even an hour off would be some respite. (Monday 26 November 2018; 04:10)

Caution (86,526) by Edward from USA I'm enjoying "Caption" because I know that most likely we won't hear any music in a long long time, I hope I'm wrong. I would love some great remixes though. (Monday 26 November 2018; 02:51)

Re: Selected Target stores only (86,516) (86,525) by Edward from USA Special K, I would kill to see you slap someone with your Mariah Inspired Pony Tail, and then tell them: "Boy Bye". (Monday 26 November 2018; 02:48)

Re: Mariah sales (86,514) (86,524) by Edward from USA Special K, I do like all facets of Mariah's music, but some more than others. I'm not criticizing her choice of music, but you like most of us very well know what happened to her fan base when she morphed, all of a sudden, from the girl next door to sexy Mariah and then to Hoodriah, it doesn't mean that's good or bad, it just means that her fan base got divided. I do like Hip Hop, others don't. I stayed onboard through her transition, many others didn't. It is what it is. And yes, Mariah is a hood-ghetto wannabe, she can try, but she always fails miserably. Having three rappers on your songs, getting your head braided, saying a couple of f you's or hanging out with Rae Rae and Mae Mae doesn't automatically give you a hood pass. Beyonce can shake that thang as much as she wants, and hood or ghetto she is not, ever, Jay-Z is. Same for Thalia, Ariana and some others. Incorporating Hip Hop in your music doesn't give you street credibility or make you part of the culture. Jennifer Lopez actually was born and raised in the hood, but being hood doesn't mean being uneducated. It's simple, Mariah made music and image choices, some followed some didn't, it happens. I'm happy Mariah actually switched it up a bit, I don't think she would be here had she kept on singing only ballads. (Monday 26 November 2018; 02:41)

Re: Mariah sales (86,518) (86,523) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I don't know who you were referencing but when I said consistency I was referring to the general public's perception of her image. (Monday 26 November 2018; 02:27)

Caution vs. MIAM (86,522) by Nikki from usa I had to travel to 3 stores in a 2 town radius to find a copy of this album. That was a lot of driving. I think the stores underestimated demand due to the lackluster sales of that 2015 compilation and MIAM. Also, this album is cheap. I never thought I'd see the day where she sold a brand new album for ten bucks. MIAM sold for $17.98. It may not have sold well, but she still made out like a bandit. It's ironic how Memoirs was leaked 3 weeks before its debut and resulted in similar sales. Mariah basically leaked half the album of Caution before its release. Mariah's old school lambily is used to hearing announcements for upcoming events. That goes for everything from appearances to album releases. The fact that most of her promo is online isn't going to reach her fan base. There wasn't any announcement for Mariah's appearances on shows or live performances save for the AMA performance. But, even after that one she wasn't raved as a highlight. I didn't know about her GMA performance and several interviews she's done until today. If I'm not searching for her online then I don't know. However, AIWFCIY is everywhere already. One way or another, Mariah's 19th #1 will eventually be that song. (Monday 26 November 2018; 01:42)

Re: Mariah sales (86,511) (86,521) by B from USA Yet, Bab's latest effort sold less than Mariah's. (Monday 26 November 2018; 01:25)

Re: Album sales (86,513) (86,520) by B from USA Everyone is acting like Caution is doomed because it only sold 50,000 copies and debuted at #5. Let's wait and see how it performs in the following weeks before jumping the gun and calling it a failure. (Monday 26 November 2018; 01:22)
