Re: Caution tidbits (86,075) (86,080) by Bobby A from United States It's not early 90s. It is definitely a throwback to Lullaby from Charmbraclet. Same bass line and drumkick melody. Right? (Saturday 17 November 2018; 03:29)

Robert Anthony (86,079) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I disagree with you in regards to Drake at this point he is over saturated in the music world right now and honestly I am glad she went with someone who is not really known that is the genius of MC when she goes left while everyone else goes right, she created an amazing album with people that is so out of her comfort zone and the end results turned out great and that is what we should be grateful for. On another note critically the album has gotten the best reviews of any album she has ever done so I think that she is on the right track. Hopefully in the future she can work with Drake when the right time comes. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 03:20)

Re: Caution tidbits (86,075) (86,078) by Bobby A from United States No, I don't think so. Early 90s MC? (Saturday 17 November 2018; 03:16)

Runway (86,077) by David from Australia Can anyone from Japan confirm if the cd features the Mariah only version of the song or is it with the featured artist? (Saturday 17 November 2018; 03:04)

Re: Genius Level interview (86,071) (86,076) by Mike from FL, USA Such a good interview. Outside got me too. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 02:33)

Re: Caution tidbits (86,072) (86,075) by enwar00 from usa 12. Is it the Stevie J. remix of I Still Believe? (Saturday 17 November 2018; 02:26)

Re: Genius interview (86,051) (86,074) by Licia from USA Thank you for posting. That was a really good interview. The only thing I didn't like was at one point she implied that she was kept out of the studio by Stella and her crew (she did not say Stella, but once you watch you'll know who she's referring to) to do other things besides music that she normally wouldn't do. Like she was forced to do these things. I blame Stella for a lot, but Mariah had to approve a good majority of the stuff that was done. Her not taking personal responsibility for her part in that situation threw me off. She got that victim thing down. Other than that small blip it was a great interview.

Re: Runaway (86,058) (86,073) by RibbonB from USA So it's Runway. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 01:36)

Caution tidbits (86,072) by Bobby A from United States 1. Portrait sounds like it could fit perfectly in a movie scene. It is the song MC was referring to that she needed to finish with Daniel Moore during her last visit on the Jimmy Kimmel show. 2. 8th Grade has Aaliyah written all over it. She could have easily recorded it in 1997. I love the Timbaland ad libs and breakdown near the end of the song. Pure perfection and so Timbaland when he says "C'mon MC" and "Baby Girl" - Aaliyah tribute for sure 3. Stay Long Love You - Why does this song sound like Things That You Do with Jay Z? I am not feeling Gunna's contribution. Drake could have given more life to the song and the production. 4. I wonder why not one JD/BMC/JA aggressive track. I am kind of bombed about that. 5. This is the first MC album where each song is co-produced by a different producer. 6. Multiple songwriters on each song. All of them give her a fresh sound and arrangement. 7. I wish more Nineteen85 tracks had made the album. His production style is Hot. Hopefully more is coming with a part 2. 8. GTFO video cinematography is just like one of the videos of Nineteen85's group Dvsn. Check out the video for the song Mood. 9. I hope part 2 is coming next year when the tour kicks off. 10. Caution shows that MC can work with any producer of any genre of music and craft a great song. I would have never thought of her working with Lido, Wondur Girl and Skillrex in a million years. Just think what masterpiece she could come up with if she worked with Max Martin, Greg Kurstin, Ryan Tedder, Ashley Gorley, and other pop country songwriters. 11. Now I understand why we only received 10 songs. MC is making a statement of being relevant and a genius. Cohesiveness was the goal of Caution. 12. Giving Me Life sounds like another MC song other than The Roof. I can't put my finger on it right now. Somebody help me. But I love the song and the production. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 01:02)

Re: Genius Level interview (86,067) (86,071) by Billy from Greece Amazing interview. I'm so happy to see her so relaxed and interacting with the fans and acknowledging the fan faves. A special moment for sure. I definitely got teary eyed when they were talking about "Outside". Mariah has actually reached a point in her life that she has somehow reconciled with the past and is finally more open to say it like it is, the good and the bad. Everything feels like it should feel with the "Caution" era. It really has added so much positivity lately. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 00:55)

Re: Importance of streaming (86,063) (86,070) by enwar00 from usa Streaming and sales start on Friday. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 00:46)

Re: Caution reviews (86,048) and excitement (86,069) by enwar00 from usa I agree, so far I skimmed but will go back and read through more thoroughly as I sit down and immerse myself in the album on repeat no doubt. It's always a breath of fresh air to come on this board and hear people's thoughts on a new album, appearances, etc., positive or negative, and feel the overall excitement. Hopefully we can ride this current wave of energy for awhile before going back to beating a dead horse, insults, and negative for the sake of negative posts. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 00:45)

Caution (86,068) by Special K from USA Still on a Glitter high. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 00:25)

Genius Level interview (86,067) by Billy from Greece Even the thought that that sleazy snake and offspring have stolen the demo tape makes me want to bitch-slap the hell out of them. (Friday 16 November 2018; 23:50)

For those who want to walk (86,066) by Edward from USA Here's a link to the "Runway". You can only walk on it for 5 days. (Friday 16 November 2018; 23:39)

Caution (86,065) by Tijl from Belgium It seems Mimi created a making out album. Guess she is in love. (Friday 16 November 2018; 23:37)

Re: Proceed with Caution (86,040) (86,064) by ADAM from USA Edward, if you don't mind can you send me a copy of Runway? Email is ny1coco@gmail.com. Thanks. (Friday 16 November 2018; 23:32)

Re: Importance of streaming (86,060) (86,063) by B from USA Doesn't the tracking week end on Friday? (Friday 16 November 2018; 23:07)

Re: Importance of streaming (86,060) (86,062) by B from USA I've been steaming the album nonstop on Spotify on my tablet and watching the YouTube videos on my laptop. This album deserves to debut at the #1 spot on the Billboard 200. (Friday 16 November 2018; 23:07)

Caution (86,061) by B from USA On Caution Mariah seamlessly updates her signature sound without sounding desperate. Caution is a great fall/winter album. I give it 4 out of 5 lamb emojis. Since I've already expressed my opinions on GTFO, With You, The Distance, and A No No I'll give my opinion on the rest of the album. Giving Me Life is my favorite. It gives me life. Portrait is an introspective ballad that gives us a glimpse of the woman often obscured by the image/diva persona and I love it. 8th Grade gives me a nostalgic feeling and makes me reminisce about my first love. One Mo' Gen' is reminiscent of Babydoll. It might just be Mariah's most overtly sexual song ever. Caution is infectious if a tad repetitive but Mariah's rapid fire vocal delivery keep the song from stagnating. Stay Long Love You is as hot as mama's cookin' in the kitchen during summer. (Friday 16 November 2018; 23:00)

Importance of streaming (86,060) by 123 from USA Hello Lambs. Please make sure you stream the album on any streaming formats on top of buying the album. Legacy artists struggle with streaming such as Mariah as most of fans are accustomed to buying the album. Billboard now includes streams in the Billboard 200 calculations. That's why these new artists tend to not have as many actual sales as the younger generation tends to prefer streaming. Babs who normally ends up with a #1 album with each release scored a #12 with her 2018 release in comparison to 2016 and 2014. So if you can, read the article and stream the album and just lower (don't mute) the volume. (Friday 16 November 2018; 22:59)

Re: Caution - it is fun (86,049) (86,059) by May from Denmark Sorry for any typo or made up words, I was very exhausted when I wrote my review. (Friday 16 November 2018; 22:38)

Re: Runaway (86,050) (86,058) by enwar00 from usa Seriously. I thought she tweeted that it's Runaway. This is going to turn into another All Alone In Love. That's not what it's called. Irregardless if that's how she referred to it. (Friday 16 November 2018; 22:37)

Giving Me Life (86,057) by MusicfanJ from Germany This song will get played a lot for the next days. The dark mood somehow totally gets me. When I thought it would end, that guitar started and the end with her whispery in the background. Magical song. I have so many pictures on my mind while listening. The Norma Jean reference suits perfect. I also start to enjoy "One mo gen". (Friday 16 November 2018; 22:33)

Re: Caution lyrics (86,054) (86,056) by enwar00 from usa I got scared there would be no lyrics again. But I just unwrapped and there are. I'm excited to sit down and listen to the CD while reading the lyrics in the booklet. I already looked at GTFO and there's lyrics that I was wrong on. Someone mentioned they're not able to distinguish her lyrics as much as they used to, and I will say yes I agree. (Friday 16 November 2018; 22:32)
