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: 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.

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)

Re: Genius interview (86,051) (86,055) by enwar00 from usa Thanks you so much for posting this. I had no idea where or how I'd be able to watch it but I'm very interested in it. Meanwhile I just grabbed Caution out the mailbox and I'm about to take my first ride with it. (Friday 16 November 2018; 22:08)

Caution lyrics (86,054) by RibbonB from USA I looked up the lyrics until I buy the physical copy later today. I don't like the song Portrait, but appreciate the lyrics. Have not heard Runway, but the lyrics are particularly poignant. I love 8th Grade and the lyrics, vocals and music are exceptionally matched. The makings of a timeless, yet current song.

Re: Runaway (86,024) (86,053) by Adam from Usa Mind sending it my way? Thanks in advance. Ingwersenadam@gmail.com (Friday 16 November 2018; 21:37)

Re: Runaway (86,031) (86,052) by Kenny from Canada Edward do you have Dropbox? You can upload it there and share it with a link. (Friday 16 November 2018; 21:32)

Genius interview (86,051) by Jono from USA Here is the full interview. Best interview of hers in a long time. The hour flew by. And even though the interviewer went deeper with album cuts and fan favorites, it still felt like they were only able to touch on maybe 20% of her work. That's how astonishingly huge this woman's catalog is. .Listen, I would watch an hour long Genius interview for each one of her albums. (Friday 16 November 2018; 21:19)

Re: Runaway (86,033) (86,050) by RibbonB from USA Can y'all decide if it's Runaway or Runway. (Friday 16 November 2018; 21:18)

Caution - it is fun (86,049) by May from Denmark After listening to the new songs and then the whole album again I have to say that I really like the album, I enjoy it more than MIAM. I have already listened to some on repeat. My favs are: Caution (this one is really sweet) Giving me Life (I have Spotify burning with this one) With you GTFO A No No (it is very catchy) Portrait The Distance The rest do nothing for me and the one I like the least is probably One Mo' Gen. All in all I'm quite happy with the new album. I can see myself listening to this one a fair amount of times unlike MIAM which I listened full like three times and bye. The melodies are quite modern yet still very Mariah, though her strong belts are no longer there her sweet baby voice, the breathy effect and signature runs are there and I do love her voice, her tone is beautiful and even though there are other good singers out there the sound of their voices are not as nice as Mariah's. I do agree with Edward, if she thinks of a next album she might have to do something about her voice. I heard her latest Emotion version and while she sang very controlled, she couldn't even do smooth runs, belts, or use any high notes other than her whistle register which is alraedy not as high as it used to. The album is obviously trying to catch a young audience. I would truly like much better though and wholesome lyrics, it's like all of them are vague and missing some sense other than the superficial obviate of what she might refer to, but there is no connection with some of the verses, if you read them without the lyrics they fall a bit flat unlike previous things she has written.

Caution reviews (86,048) by Bill from the UK I love reading all your reviews and thoughts and favourites everyone, thanks for taking the time to write it up. I go back and listen to everyone’s favourites, great way to explore and familiarise yourself with the new material. (Friday 16 November 2018; 20:56)

Re: Caution review (86,028) (86,047) by MusicfanJ from Germany After the first listen what comes to my mind is that the album sounds very modern. I'm surprised of the sound/vibe of it. It's definitely a new side of her music, almost a bit experimental. I'm happy that we got with "Portrait" one "classic" Mariah song. A song with more heart and soul and the lyrics are more my taste. And I love the violin at the end. My favorites yet: 1. Portrait 2. Giving me life (wow, love at first listen) 3. The distance 4. Caution The album is indeed very short, but "MIAMTEC" was the opposite so it's ok. I like that the lyrics are in the booklet. I missed them on "MIAMTEC". Does anybody know why the fans/lambs are not listed on the thank you notes of the booklet at the end? I'm just wondering. I agree with her voice, she sounds good but sometimes a bit nasal. So for me it's not her "Thriller" but I'm happy with it. I'm sure after a few repeats of the whole album, there will come more to mind. So happy Caution Day for all of you. (Friday 16 November 2018; 20:30)

Giving Me Life (86,046) by B from USA Mariah not only references Marylin Monroe on Giving Me Life she also references Barbra Streisand and her hit Evergreen when she sings "Livin' like Babs 'cause it's evergreen." (Friday 16 November 2018; 20:00)

Caution - my take (86,045) by Critter from USA I have a simple taste for good music. If it can't make me hum/sing to it after a few listens, then it won't make to my playlist. Why would I let a song grow on me? The first few songs available before the sale are her stronger tracks. I am grateful. Thanks MC. I am not feeling the rest of the album. Many of you says, X is this song, Part II; Y is that song Part III. It only means X, or Y are not as good or original. Anyway, my standout tracks: 1. The distance 2. A no no 3. GTFO 4. Runway. Especially the version featuring the Japanese singer. The ending reminds of "I feel it coming" by Weeknd. Groovy. (Friday 16 November 2018; 19:26)

Caution review (86,043) by Bobby A from United States My favorites are: 1. Caution 2. 8th Grade 3. One Mo Gen 4. The Distance 5. A No No 6. GTFO 7. With You 8. Giving Me Life I am really trying to like Stay Long Love You. I think it is gonna take a random play during my workout one day to like it. We will see. This is her most coehesive album since TEOM. Caution is another career defining album behind Daydream, Butterfly, and TEOM. She put her heart and soul into this one. My surprise producers are Fred Ball, Timbaland, The Stereotypes, Skillrex and Lido. We had no idea she had been the studio with them. Great songs with them. (Friday 16 November 2018; 19:04)

Caution (86,042) by ADAM from USA I do want to give props where credit is due. So far I've heard 1/2 the album and I love it. Mariah has heard the criticisms about her voice and sound and has delivered something enjoyable. The production on the album is current and her voice in its lower range on this album is pleasant and beautiful. The criticisms I have with her are when she performs her old material and it's evident her voice is gone. That is what pains me and I'm sure it pains her. However, she is my all-time favorite artist and as such I can say truthfully she delivered a solid product I really like. Everyone ages and has their peak, and I'm glad Mariah has continued to stay relevant, producing music she is proud of and also current with the times. She's at a point where she doesn't have to break any records or prove herself. she's having fun and so am I. I'm so happy she's inspired again. Thank you Mariah. (Friday 16 November 2018; 19:02)

Caution at Radio City Music Hall (86,041) by ADAM from USA I am considering going to this show but feel uncomfortable going alone. Is anyone on this board going to this show in NYC and want to meet up? If so let me know where you have seats? (Friday 16 November 2018; 18:56)
