Re: Caution album (85,811) (85,824) by Special K from USA Many of us have been predicting Mariah is going to drop another album. Keep up. (Sunday 11 November 2018; 13:46)

Hero rehearsals Shanghai (85,823) by 90sMariah from SG I'm pleasantly surprised with her voice here. And the note change in "and the sorrow that you know" is really good. I wish she had done it in her live performance. (Sunday 11 November 2018; 09:41)

Doo buh doo buh baby (85,822) by Andrew from UK This isn't good (albeit it not as good as I thought it was going to be). The piano should play around the vocals and not be so on the nose. But the extended ending gives life to reindeer. (Sunday 11 November 2018; 08:46)

Re: All I want for my birthday is to see Mariah Carey (85,802) (85,821) by Andrew from UK That post says a lot about you, buddy. I think I should wish you good luck, also. (Sunday 11 November 2018; 08:31)

Sheila (85,820) by Nikki from usa I think you were confusing the Brenda situation with Whitney. Mariah was refused at Arista Records because she sounded too much like Whitney. Brenda and half the artists at the label were fired to promote Mariah. Columbia was a part of CBS Records, but they went through money troubles and were bought out by Japanese owned Sony Music. Mariah was promised the biggest promo since Bruce Springsteen which would've been worth 15 million, but they didn't have it. By the time 1990 came around they had to get rid of most on their roster to come up with 6 million to promote Mariah. When her debut became a success with 2 straight #1's Mottola was promoted to head honcho from his VP status beginning in 1991. Critics joked he should thank Mariah for his success which is why he hijacked Mariah's "The Wind" project and turned it into Emotions. Then, he stopped promoting her as a songwriter and producer. He wanted the world to believe Mariah was his creation due to that ego bruise he never got over. (Sunday 11 November 2018; 06:27)

Re: My All in Borobudur (85,809) (85,819) by Hector from Mexico I don't like it. It's painful to hear that. I'd prefer that she doesn't sing My All anymore. (Sunday 11 November 2018; 02:18)

Re: My All in Borobudur (85,814) (85,818) by Bill from the UK Um. It was strained and she did lip sync so... yeah. (Sunday 11 November 2018; 02:17)

Re: Poor Rainbow, record rankings (85,782) (85,817) by Hector from Mexico Hi Licia. I'm sorry, I swear to you I tried to like it lol. (Sunday 11 November 2018; 01:58)

Re: Thank you, next (85,812) (85,816) by B from USA It's not the music, it's the public's interest in her private life. Her ex Mac Miller died from an overdose and she left her fiancee of two/three months who she got engaged to after only a month of dating to mourn Miller's death. (Sunday 11 November 2018; 01:20)

Re: Rainbow cover (85,808) (85,815) by enwar00 from usa Yup, she sure was showing us that plastic Barbie Mariah booty on the back cover. Overall the most untouched and life-like photos plastic Barbie Mariah ever released. The actual doll was supposed to be out that Christmas. Clothes sold separately. But Tommy put a stop to all the plans. (Sunday 11 November 2018; 01:05)

Re: My All in Borobudur (85,809) (85,814) by B from USA Love it. Andrew will say she sounds strained and others will claim it was lip-synced, lol. (Sunday 11 November 2018; 01:00)

Re: Thank you, next (85,812) (85,813) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Webmaster, I get that you wanna get everything nice, properly capitalized and spelled, but the correct title of the song really is "thank u, next". Yes, all in lowercase. (Sunday 11 November 2018; 00:42)

Thank you, next (85,812) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines So Ariana is predicted to debut at #1 with the grateful kiss-off track after 5 years of trying with the most polished, calculated and commercial pop attempts since Katy Perry. It's sounds nice, it's cute. But it also make you think of just how bad top 40 music is these days, when a song this which could easily be considered filler on any Ariana Grande album can top the charts. It's also weird that something as light and airy-fairy as this is a bright spot in the mostly bleak charts. Unnecessary profanity aside, I guess it's sentiment is a great contrast to Taylor Swift's standard brand of lethal songs about her exes. Its success shows that you can get crazy personal while still being relatable to many young women. Good for her. (Sunday 11 November 2018; 00:31)

Caution album (85,811) by Bobby A from United States I have a strong feeling that just 10 tracks was the plan for the CD created at the end of August. I feel she and her team realized that all of the songs MC recorded were just too good to put all on one CD. So, my theory is that we are getting Caution on 11/16 and Caution 2 of 2 in March 2019. I think Jay Z and MC looked at Justin Timberlake's 20/20 Experience as a model to plan the rollout of Caution. Next week, we will have the Genius interview and The Mariah Experience. Didn't JT do week long interviews and performances and fan special surprises when 20/20 Experience came out? Didn't JT drop a couple singles and promo singles before 20/20 Experience was released? His Grammy performance that year was hyped up just like MC's AMA performance With You. 20/20 Experience 2 of 2 came out at the height of his World Tour. Caution is going to be a hit this time for MC. I just feel it. (Sunday 11 November 2018; 00:23)

Did I Do That? / There For Me (85,810) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I gotta admit that Did I Do That took a really long time for me to appreciate. The melody is too slight and the guy yelling in the background is one of the most annoying parts to make it on a Mariah song ever. But I do appreciate it because it is pretty much Mariah's first diss song. She probably fought for it to be on the album, along with CTTA and Petals. It was an important track for her because it allowed her to vent her frustrations, plus it was her middle finger to Columbia and Tommy. I would still rather have it on the album than the very meh There For Me. If that made the album, it would have been the most dated-sounding cut on it. Compare it to the other ballads and you'd hear why it was left out. It just wasn't modern enough. Rainbow was released in 1999 - Latin, bubblegum and urban were pop those days, and There For Me, which sounds like an 80s throwback, would have been out of place in a rather very urban contemporary R&B album.

My All in Borobudur (85,809) by Edouard from France It's incredible. Mariah sings a shortened version. I believe she can more easily catch her breath and gives us stronger vocals. She basically sings the original melody on the second verse, which is something she's never really done before. Check it out. (Saturday 10 November 2018; 22:39)

Re: Rainbow cover (85,805) (85,808) by Bill from the UK I love the album cover. Other than Merry Christmas, all her album covers are at the darker end of the spectrum so Rainbow really stands out. It seems fresh and vibrant like the songs on the album. Plus MC looks amazing. If you’ve got it, flaunt it. And boy did she. (Saturday 10 November 2018; 20:58)

Re: Mariah Carey in Madrid (85,784) (85,807) by MC1989 from Spain I don't know what do her managers expect, but without any promotion it's very difficult to sell all the tickets for a big stadium like Wizink Center in Madrid. Anyway, I would like to meet some fans too before or after the concert. (Saturday 10 November 2018; 20:38)

Rainbow cover (85,805) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) To me Mariah looks so good and the picture on the inside where she is laying on the bed, all I can say is damn she's looks hot. For me that was sexy without trying. (Saturday 10 November 2018; 20:36)

Re: Poor Rainbow, record rankings (85,785) (85,804) by Edouard from France I don't think so. I believe the artwork spoke to a younger generation. Tai girls of course with the cute ensemble and the colours. To straight guys because she looks so young (even though she's already 29) and hot on the cover. And to gay guys I guess because of the colour theme and the "let's be who you are" whole approach. I remember being 15 going on 16 at the time and I was mesmerized. And I'm a straight guy.

Re: All I want for my birthday is to see Mariah Carey (85,792) (85,802) by B from USA Why? Move on. (Saturday 10 November 2018; 18:24)

Article: Mariah Carey will preview her new album in The George (85,801) by B from USA Mariah's team isn't playing. Caution may exceed my expectations and debut at #1 on the Billboard 200. With You has reached 3 million views, A No No has over 700,000 views, and Mariah's official channel has reached 4 million subscribers. (Saturday 10 November 2018; 18:20)

Re: The Mariah Experience (85,781) (85,800) by Special K from USA You know I remember when Mariah did a record signing release of Rainbow at Tower records in California. I didn't go but I know fans that actually began lining up the night before and slept outside. (Saturday 10 November 2018; 17:39)
