Re: "Glitter" (85,935) (85,937) by Licia from USA I actually love The Distance and GTFO. With You just bores the hell out of me, but it's decent. A No No is the only one at the moment I can't get into. Yes Cha Cha is going to get taken out if I don't like these other six songs. (Thursday 15 November 2018; 00:38)

Re: Glitter revival (85,925) (85,936) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Great explanation. This is also somewhat an indirect effect of the success of A Star Is Born. Glitter's storyline is basically ASIB in an 80s outfit. The success of both the film and the soundtrack has got the public more open to singers crossing over to acting again, which has not seen success in a long time because such projects were deemed self-indulgent for quite a while (and most of the films that accompanied the soundtracks were just bad or meh, including Glitter, Burlesque). When most fans browse suggestions similar to ASIB, Glitter pops up. And since it has recharted, more of the public have become curious as to why a soundtrack album to one of the biggest and most tragic box office flops of all time from freaking 2001 is suddenly rising on the album charts. Now some are just buying it out of curiosity alone, because yes, some still do that in the digital age. And now it's in the top 10 and if it stays there for some time, it will likely spark renewed interest for the film and Mariah, and hopefully that interest also spills over to Caution when it gets released. The perfect commercial snowball effect. It's weirdly exciting. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 23:39)

Re: "Glitter" (85,933) (85,935) by 123 from USA Licia I agree. CB one of her best albums lyrically while Glitter had vocals. CB was always Butterfly Part II in my eyes as one was the inception of the whispery/airy vocals while the other was the peak of said vocal technique. I didn't care too much for Glitter, the ballads were nice but too poppy for me as my guess Billy was a pop artist in the movie. All My Life vocals in the movie were so good. Twister is such an emotional ballad and I always loved Loverboy. Licia, have any of the Caution songs grown on you or are you on strike as a lamb until the album is released? Lol. Is Cha cha going to get it if you don't like the album? Lol. I think Cha cha is a bad influence on Mariah's vocals. She isn't motherly as she tried to drown her pup. Add Chacha to the list of reasons for vocal issues. Lol. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 23:36)

New album (85,934) by Tijl from Belgium Don't we all just feel terribly excited about the new release? When was the last time we all were anticipating a new MC album with this kind of vigeour? I wish Mariah a fantastic launch because our girl is still among the greatest. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 22:38)

Re: "Glitter" (85,929) (85,933) by Licia from USA I'm so surprised they picked Glitter to revive, but they could not have picked a more awesome album. (Wait they could have CB anyone? Lol.) I mean the woman got Rick James to help on the album. Whereas CB had the lyrics, Glitter had vocals for days and some great lyrics for the original songs. Don't even get me started on those remakes. We didn't appreciate Glitter enough. I Glitter. See Enwar and Bill I like stuff. I like that whole album. Lol. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 22:33)

Re: Glitter revival (85,925) (85,932) by Tijl from Belgium I have always loved Glitter (the album not the movie) and found it to be way before its time. This entire occasion must be quite enticing to MC with the launch of her new album. Credit where credit's due. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 22:30)

Re: Caution top 4 (85,924) (85,931) by Licia from USA Bill don't call me out like that. I'm probably going to hate the last 6 songs for sure though. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 22:11)

Glitter revival (85,930) by Andrew from UK "The album is garbage, though?" Who is this talentless hack who got lost on the way to the soup kitchen? (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 21:38)

Re: "Glitter" (85,926) (85,929) by Bill from the UK I gave it a spin the other day without knowing about this countdown thing. Nothing tops If We. What a great song, don't blame J.Lo for stealing it lol. And those runs on Lead the Way have got to be some of the best she ever put down on a record. Great album. Sorry, "soundtrack" lol. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 21:12)

Re: Caution top 4 (85,927) (85,928) by Bill from the UK It's what we love about her. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 21:09)

Re: Caution top 4 (85,924) (85,927) by enwar00 from usa Mmhmm she already dragged one earlier. 6 more opportunities Licia. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 20:48)

"Glitter" (85,926) by Billy from Greece Totally hyped for the release of "Caution" but super excited with what's happening with "Glitter". I guess what goes around comes around. I was just bopping to the CD. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 20:18)

Re: Glitter revival (85,923) (85,925) by Will from England It's because certain Mariah fan pages are doing a countdown to Caution, and encouraging fans to take part by streaming each album in celebration. Because Glitter can't be streamed, lambs have been buying it instead. It's an amazing show of what we as a fan base are capable of doing when working together. A soundtrack album that almost derailed her career, was panned by critics, was released 17 years ago is now in the top 10 (I believe) of the iTunes US chart. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 20:16)

Caution top 4 (85,924) by Bill from the UK 1. With You 2. A No No 3. The Distance 4. GTFO But, I really do enjoy the top three equally. GTFO was a bit of a "meh" for me because it is, in my opinion, lazy songwriting. That said, really looking forward to the album on Friday and seeing everyone's thoughts on it. Especially how many tracks Licia hates haha. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 19:38)

Re: Glitter revival (85,902) (85,923) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Seriously, what is with this sudden Glitter revival?. Number 6 on USA iTunes, number 54 on Canadian iTunes. Merry Christmas is at 69 on USA iTunes and 73 on Canadian iTunes. Maybe because so many people overlooked Glitter for the amazing album it is back in the day, and the public is craving music that aren't the standard #1s and regular set-list she plays in concert. Maybe the Glitter revival is an indication of the general public being thirsty for new Mariah music? (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 18:22)

Re: Top 4 from Caution (85,916) (85,922) by Matty from Vancouver Canada 1. GTFO 2. The Distance 3. With You 4. A No No I love them all so far. This sounds like Mariah's most current/pop sounding album since E=MC2 and than Rainbow before that. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 17:56)

Re: Be nice or leave (85,917) (85,921) by Andrew from UK Okay. On a positive note: Mariah took up half the front cover and the whole celebrity inside spread of the Metro today. Metro is London's free morning transport newspaper. Everyone reads it whilst going to work on the tube or the trains. It's also read across the UK and has a bigger circulation than The Sun. So it's a bit of a score for Mariah to be on the cover and have such promotion inside. One tidbit of "negativity" - or "honesty" as I like to call it: the UK doesn't really go for Mariah or her music anymore so the album will not do well regardless of the promotion. Or even irregardless of it. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 17:53)

Justice for Glitter (85,920) by Dav from Ireland Glitter is now number 7 on iTunes USA. Just bought my copy, have you? So random and fun. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 17:35)

Glitter's success on iTunes Album Chart (85,919) by MC1989 from Spain Glitter is now #1 in Philipines #1 Vietnam #1 Thailand #2 Malasya #4 Brazil #5 Indonesia #6 Taiwan #8 United States # 15 United Kingdom # 20 Italy This is [censored] amazing. Justice for Glitter, one of MC's best works. The movie is bad, the album is great. P.S: "Want You" is one of Mariah's most underrated songs. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 17:32)

Re: Glitter revival (85,902) (85,918) by 123 from USA A lamb from another board thought of a cool idea to listen to each album per day as a countdown to Caution. Each album had a day assigned to it. Glitter is not on any streaming services so many lambs just bought the album instead to listen to it on the day it was Glitters turn. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 17:17)

Be nice or leave (85,917) by Dav from Ireland Great to see all the positivity on the board. We're a day away from hearing the new album. Glitter is in the top 10 in iTunes USA. Mariah is just on the way home from a sucessful tour of Asia. She's in good vocal shape, looking well and seems happy. It's a great time to be a Lamb. The nightmare era is over and we're just getting going on the Caution era. But it's all in fighting and discussions about Ariana here. Some people just choose to be negative. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 16:48)

Re: Top 4 from Caution (85,911) (85,916) by Dav from Ireland 1. GTFO 2. With You 3. The Distance 4. A No No (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 16:43)

Caution release strategy (85,915) by B from USA On YouTube a user proposed that Mariah's team has released the Caution singles backwards intentionally. What do you guys think? (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 16:40)

Top 4 from Caution (85,914) by Edward from USA 1. With You ("Ooh, shots of Remy" at 3:02, is everything.) 2. The Distance (Should've been the first single.) 3. GTFO (Nice, different, but a little boring.) 4. A No No (Very fun, but "TD" is way better.) (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 16:29)

Re: All I want for my birthday is to see Mariah Carey (85,904) (85,913) by B from USA Andy, you're delusional. No one comes for you until you come at them or disrespect Mariah or members or this board. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 16:12)
