Caution (86,596) by anonymous from UK After multiple listens, it gets better and better. The album is coherent and contained. I love it. I feel the least coherent album was Rainbow, I just never got on with it. Caution is defo going to be in my top five MC albums. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 23:04)

Re: Caution next singles (86,584) (86,595) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I live for SLLY. It's one of the strongest hit potentials on the album after "A No No". Gunna also has a lot of streaming pull. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 22:22)

Re: Caution (86,571) (86,594) by Edward from USA I hadn't even noticed I typed "Caption", lol. Well, I'm happy it's a short album. Finally people have come to realize Mariah is not a seller machine as she used to be, that's good. Christmas is definitely going to drown "Caution" up. Reviving in January? Let's see. I like "A No No", but I do think, and I hope to be wrong, that Cardi and Lil Kim are going to waste on another generic remix. I think Mariah should use them on remixes for "The Distance" and "8th Grade". By the way. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 22:03)

A No No (86,593) by We are Lambily from USA I'm dying for the remix btw, but I just wanna clarify one thing, A No No doesn't have 9 writers really, Lil Kim's version was written by 5 of those names, back when everybody got credit for probably absolutely nothing. Like Mariah herself said, even she was way too kind with that. One day I will write about Caution, until then let me enjoy this masterpiece because it's giving me life, the only thing I hate is how we disrespect Mariah's other albums every time one comes, Mariah was everything and still is everything. You guys can love something without tearing other stuff down. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 21:32)

Interviews (86,592) by Billy from Greece It has already been mentioned but it is such a relief to see Mariah being so well during this era's interviews. It's a total u-turn compared to the nightmare era. In the latest one she looks exactly like the cover of "The Roof" single. It's unbelievable how much more serene her face is, how much clearer the look in her eyes. Even her body language is so much more confident. It seems she has done a lot of personal work and growth and that the wounds following the divorce, which I believe devastated her because she repeated her own familial history and later led to the darkest period of her life, have finally started healing. Maybe writing her memoirs is also part of all this "accepting" attitude she's been having lately. Finally, I agree with Mariah, I would also prefer "Proceed with Caution" but I also understand the marketing concept of using plain "Caution". (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 21:02)

Re: Caution next singles (86,584) (86,591) by Lexingz from Estonia The song is pleasant to the ear, I must say. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 20:56)

Re: Lambs vs reality (86,577) (86,590) by Andrew from UK Maybe because you post endless drivel, Eric can't sift through it all? Seriously, Beans, the amount of messages you post is more obnoxious than anything I have ever said. And it's all mental propoganda. Mental. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 20:19)

Re: Justice for AIWFCIY (86,575) (86,589) by Andrew from UK "noun the state of being well known for some bad quality or deed" (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 20:14)

Re: Caution next singles (86,584) (86,588) by MusicfanJ from Germany When I first listened to "Stay Long Love You" I thought the same. The teens and young twens will love it. This song sounds a lot like many songs on the charts and radio stations for the young people. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 19:50)

Re: A No No (86,578) (86,587) by Bobby A from United States I really think Missy is going to be on the remix. If she jumps on it, MC is going to have her first 10 pop hits since Obsessed. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 19:20)

Re: Skydiving (86,583) (86,586) by Bobby A from United States I have a version that was put on a R&B mixtape from Atlanta but it is still a low quality version. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 19:16)

Proceed with caution (3): next singles and steps (86,585) by Ethan from United States 1. I'm glad that a lot of the lambs are on the same wavelength of having Giving Me Life as a mini-movie music video. It does hurt the label's pocket but Mariah can compensate for that. Again, please get Paul Hunter or Diane Martel to direct the video (3rd single after A No No). 2. Like most lambs, my least favorite track is Stay Long Love You. I don't hate or love it. I think it reminds me of Did I Do That? from Rainbow, which I don't like the single at all. I don't know why she included it in that album. I wish she could have replaced it with Runway instead. 3. Mariah needs to release A No No remix before or during her Christmas tour to get some commotion. She has 2 months off before she returns to Vegas. I hope she'll get invited to award shows, perform more songs from Caution, and be a part of Aretha Franklin tribute at the Grammys. 4. If A No No remix is nowhere out soon, then Caution might be out of the charts in the next two weeks. It's already slipping from iTunes and the promotion has wrapped up. I've been listening to it on Apple Music every day so I hope it will stay longer on the charts. 5. Some of the songs include lots of writers because she sampled the music for her singles on Caution. That's why. Just like WBT, it has a lot more due to Bobby Womack and Babyface references. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 19:06)

Re: Caution next singles (86,580) (86,584) by B from USA Oddly, Stay Long Love You is a favorite of casual listeners and I can see it becoming a hit with the tweens and teens because of the beat and Gunna feature. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 18:10)

Skydiving (86,583) by ksquarred from paris Does anyone has a clear version of "Skydiving", unreleased from Memoirs? (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 17:52)

18 top ten albums (86,582) by george golden from uk I am loving this new album by the day. The songs are very addictive. It's amazing what Mariah can achieve if she puts her heart to it. 8th Grade is such an amazing track. It's up there with her best. To think that she now has 18 top ten albums is crazy. Well congrats to her. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 17:08)

"Portrait" (86,581) by Billy from Greece It has become my saving grace and all I need right now. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 16:32)

Caution next singles (86,580) by MC1989 from Spain Caution is doing well in the Asian market, in the US and in Australia, among other countries. I like all the songs on the album except Stay Long Love You. Sounds like a filler. Everybody seems to enjoy "A No No", but I don't like the melody, and it surprises me that the lyrics were written by 9 people. I don't like Lil' Kim nor Cardi B, but I'm ok with the upcoming remix, though I think "Caution", "Giving Me Life" and "8th Grade" - with those harmonic wistles and that beat towards the end - should be released as singles, with a different type of video for each. A No No remix could attract some younger fans, but it won't bring anything new to me. I hope Mariah or her team listen to the fans and release a good video for "Giving Me Life", as long as it's a fan favourite, and its sound and length are perfect for a mini movie kind of video. Then, she could release a radio edit version - although the best part of the song comes with that guitar riff and Mariah's whistles notes at the end. I wish MC doesn't stop promoting Caution on behalf of her AIWFCIY upcoming tour. I'm fed up with the "Queen Of Christmas" thing, she's much more than that, and she has just released a very good album with great reviews from the critic and the media, even here in Spain, some of the most important newspapers like El País are writting about her comeback in a very good way. I think this is the right moment for releasing new singles with new videos. If she waits until January, AIWFCIY will eclipse her new material and she'll still be regarded as a Christmas act. I would love AIWFCIY becomes her 19th number one in the US, but I don't want her to be regarded as a one hit wonder (I know that hits like Hero, Without You and My All are worldwide known, but at least here in Spain, as in many countries, the only song that gets a lot of radio airplay every year is AIWFCIY).

Caution (86,579) by B from USA Consequence of Sound reviewed Caution. They selected GTFO, A No No, and Giving Me Life as the essential tracks from the album. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 16:13)

A No No (86,578) by ksquarred from paris Lil Kim's manager has again confirmed that the remix will happen, and he tagged Mariah, Lil Kim, Cardi B and Missy Elliott on the post. It's a lot of people so I hope Mariah still has the spotlight. Lil Kim plus Missy reminds me of the Lady Marmalade song with Mya, Pink and Christina Aguilera (and its amazing video).

Re: Lambs vs reality (86,527) (86,577) by B from USA Eric, why are his messages about me posted but my responses are not? (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 15:03)

Re: Caution: a track a day (1 of 7) (86,574) (86,576) by B from USA I'm also lovong Runway. Mariah seemed to really click with Skillerex, The Stereotypes, and Blood Orange. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 14:59)

Re: Justice for AIWFCIY (86,572) (86,575) by B from USA Andrew, Infamy is defined as an evil reputation brought about by something grossly criminal, shocking, or brutal, an extreme and publicly known criminal or evil act, or the state of being infamous. Suprised your self professed superior intllect allowed you to make such a glaring grammatical error. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 14:52)

Caution: a track a day (1 of 7) (86,574) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines Much has been said about the 4 songs that have come out prior to November 16, so I just want to share my thoughts on the seven other songs that we all heard at the same time as the entire world when Caution dropped. Runway This song sounds like a slightly updated version of the sound that dominated the charts a decade ago (think young Chris Brown, Keri Hilson, Jordin Sparks, young Rihanna, Jesse McCartney, Ne-Yo) when light R&B was pop. The Butterfly interpolation marks the first time she has sampled herself on a loop (she has previously referenced past hits by repeating lines or mentioning song titles, particularly on Subtle Invitation and The Impossible, Dedicated). It's weird when nothing in the entire song's melody resonates as much as the sped-up Butterfly snippet used in the background - that is the real hook in this song. It's the obligatory sweet, uplifting track, but lacks the conviction and emotional gravitas of past similarly-themed songs such as Through The Rain, Make It Happen, Heavenly, Anytime You Need A Friend, etc. To be honest I was bummed when I first heard it because like many others I was lowkey hoping for it to be Mariah's first catwalk bop. It is by no means a bad song, and some would probably rather have it replace any song track they deem is weakest on the album, but it's just a serviceable track that plays like a poorer version of Just Stand Up. Its urgency and tempo, though, would have lent a nice change of pace had it actually made the final tracklist. It's okay, but does not quite fit the overall slinky sound and vibe of the album. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 13:32)

Re: Rockefeller 2018 (86,570) (86,573) by B from USA Agreed. Her team probably already has her booked as the opening act. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 13:08)
