Elevator moment (86,447) by CMC from NY,NY Yes I was in the elevator with MC as I told you guys the day after it happened. I'm the one that air kisses Mariah when we walked in and then she grabs my arm to give the camera a moment to catch my Vision of Love tattoo, which is in the font of her first single. Mariah loved it obviously. I was happy the footage was released as we weren't sure what was going to happen with it if anything. The moment was surreal and Mariah is magnetic to be next to, especially in a confined space like an elevator. It was me and my friend Taylor, then two other guys in the fur vests that went in but didn't have much interaction with Mariah. Then after a couple trips riding up and down that dude with the moustache jumped in. I immediately recognized him from a video posted here and he was trash talking Mariah, about her clothes and literally her being trashy. I was thinking what is he doing in here, it felt weird knowing he recently made those statements in a video, apparently he portrays himself as a comedian or whatever. I was immediately cock blocking him from having moments with Mariah, haha. Anyway I did try to find the video where he is saying that and like Andrew said it's no where to be found now. It was very similar to a scene in the Adventures of Mimi dvd extra's when the girls are talking trash about Mariah then their up in her face and they fangirl out. Very true to life. Anyway, the elevator experience was legendary, then we saw Mariah at album signing the next day. I'm obsessed with Cautian and honestly did not even expect it to be this fresh, current, yet in a lane all her own that people I'm convinced are going to try and emulate this sound. Mariah is making true music. The album is a full blow mood, and gives all types of feels. I haven't instantly loved Mariah songs on first listen like I did when I first hear Caution, Giving me Life, A No No, 8th Grade. The album sounds like a mature sexy Mariah who's unapologetic. Her interviews are 360 degrees from where she was a year and a half ago. She's in a really great place. Caution solidified a new sound for her in this decade which she didn't have. It set a template and blueprint for her next album or two. The Power Ballads of the 90's are over, Mariah would sound so tired and outdated trying to recreate anything like that. She set a tone for where her voice is right now at this stage in her life. She was was able to create an entire album unlike any Mariah Carey album yet still sound like Mariah. Truely masterful.

Re: The biggest surprise in the elevator (86,437) (86,446) by Chicago Lamb from USA Yes, that is him. What a shite talker is doing there in the midst of a legend who he happily bashed, I have no clue. (Friday 23 November 2018; 20:29)

Honey (86,445) by B from USA I didn't know Biggie was supposed to be on the Honey remix. That would've been epic. Like Mariah, I wish she would've been able to work wit 2Pac. (Friday 23 November 2018; 19:41)

Re: Glitter on iTunes (86,428) (86,444) by B from USA I can't find any articles but I remember reading that they did work together but unfortunately it wasn't finished in time. (Friday 23 November 2018; 19:39)

Opinion: Mariah Carey's new album, Caution, is the (86,443) by B from USA Another glowing review for Caution. (Friday 23 November 2018; 19:26)

Re: Selected Target stores only (86,435) (86,442) by Special K from USA Honestly though who is still buying physical cd's? The last physical CD I bought period from any artist was MOAIA. My niece, who is 17 years old, told me yesterday during Thanksgiving dinner that she loves The Distance and A No, No. I told her the Caution album was 7 bucks at Target, was she gonna buy it? My niece laughed out hella loud and was like, "Auntie, I have never bought a physical CD. If I buy music, and that's if I buy it, I download it off of iTunes, Spotify, or Amazon. That's why I always have to have my phone with me so I can listen to my music." Then I asked her how did she find out about those songs? She told me they popped up on her YouTube account because she has listened to other Mariah Carey songs like WBT and ABMB. My niece said she may buy Caution off of iTunes because her favorite singer Kehlani said on Twitter it was the sh$t and Mariah responded by thanking her. Go figure. I guess what I am trying to say the days of music fans rushing out to the store to buy an album are long gone. It's all about streaming and buying albums off of iTunes, Amazon, etc because it's easy access and so convenient. What drives Mariah's album sales are strong singles. Sorry but WY ain't it. Hopefully now that there is a buzz about A No, No remix with Lil Kim and Cardi B, Caution will sell more than the disappointing numbers I am hearing about so far. (Friday 23 November 2018; 18:55)

Re: Everytime I Close My Eyes (86,440) (86,441) by B from USA One of my favorite songs as well. (Friday 23 November 2018; 17:20)

Re: Everytime I Close My Eyes (86,432) (86,440) by Susana from USA That is one of my favorite songs, but so true it hardly ever mentioned. (Friday 23 November 2018; 16:33)

Re: Article: Simon Cowell: Mariah Carey's lost it (86,438) (86,439) by Shezz from Pk Stop it Andrew you're gonna make me cry. (Friday 23 November 2018; 16:31)

Re: Article: Simon Cowell: Mariah Carey's lost it (86,431) (86,438) by Andrew from UK That link just takes me to the news section and no particular article. Irrespective, it would be rich for Cowell to call Carey a has-been since he has very few recording artists left on Syco and The X Factor is constantly losing viewers in the UK with the new season being the least watched ever. Out of the two, if there is a so-called "has-been", it certainly ain't MC. (Friday 23 November 2018; 11:55)

The biggest surprise in the elevator (86,437) by Andrew from UK This is interesting. Remember Matteo Lane, the gay comedian whose interview where he says, "That's why (Mariah Carey) can't sing anymore" I posted not so long ago? Yes? Well check ouy the moustache fangirling in the elevator here at the 1.20 mark. I've tried to find the interview video again. But - and I can't imagine why - I think it's been taken down.

Re: Glitter on iTunes (86,426) (86,436) by Licia from USA Since the fans are paying attention to Glitter now she needs to go ahead and put it on streaming services. Alot of us actually love Glitter and know what an awesome body of work it is. Hopefully the #JusticeforGlitter movement will push her to start including it. I too would love to hear what Mariah/Prince came up with. That's a hell of a musical combo. Their phenomenal writing skills, her Glitter vocals, his vocals, and his wide use of several instruments, that might have been amazing. (Friday 23 November 2018; 06:01)

Selected Target stores only (86,435) by Nicole from US Given that I have purchased my own physical CD and multiple downloads from preorder and store bundles, I decided to check a Target store in Rochester, New York. This particular store doesn't even have Caution discounted for $7. There's still a lot of CDs in stock. So I just had to order online and buy 3 to give out as Christmas presents. Some Walmart stores in Ohio do not even have Caution in their shelves. SMH but some people I believe really wants Mariah to fail, I think. (Friday 23 November 2018; 04:47)

Caution (86,434) by B from USA Seems like I'm not the only getting a Destiny's Child vine from Caution. (Friday 23 November 2018; 04:42)

Pitchfork (86,433) by B from USA Another stellar review for Caution. (Friday 23 November 2018; 04:39)

Everytime I Close My Eyes (86,432) by Bobby A from United States This is one collaboration no one hardly talks about. One of Babyface's greatest songs and MC did the vocal arrangements. There are four remixes out there by Soul Shock & Karlin, Raphael Saadiq and producer extraordinaire Timbaland. Timbaland's remix is the best one. And I have all four remixes in my collection.

Re: Article: Simon Cowell: Mariah Carey's lost it (86,413) (86,431) by Andrew from UK Where is this article? I can find it nowhere. I do, though, find it hard to believe Simon Cowell would turn on Mariah. (Friday 23 November 2018; 01:57)

Re: Glitter on iTunes (86,426) (86,430) by B from USA Correction, Mariah is the reason Glitter isn't on streaming platforms/services. (Friday 23 November 2018; 01:26)

Re: The promo tour (WWHL, Fallon, GMA) (86,383) (86,429) by Bobby A from United States This week has to be the best start to a new era since the TEOM era. I really feel some great things are going to happen in the next few weeks to end 2018. I hope MC picks Joseph Kahn, Diane Martel or Billie Woodruff to direct her next video. Has anybody noticed the ad libs and background harmonies on 8th Grade? I can't wait to hear 8th Grade on vinyl. I have these vintage 80s speakers that really bring out the full recording sound from my vinyl records. (Friday 23 November 2018; 01:17)

Re: Glitter on iTunes (86,426) (86,428) by MC1989 from Spain Did Mariah ever record a song with Prince or is it just a rumour? (Friday 23 November 2018; 01:09)

Re: Caution (86,418) (86,427) by Lexingz from Estonia This is great news. Thanks for reporting (Thursday 22 November 2018; 23:18)

Re: Glitter on iTunes (86,420) (86,426) by B from USA Mariah is the reason Glitter is available on any streaming platforms. Part of Mariah exit deal when she was unceremoniously fired by Virgin was ownership of the masters of all of the songs she recorded during her tenure at the label. I believe she's said she recorded over 60 songs for Glitter, didn't she? I wish she'd release the song she wrote with Prince. (Thursday 22 November 2018; 23:01)

Re: The Mariah Experience (86,424) (86,425) by Jamie from UK Ah cool yeah I'll pop by and have a look. Thank you. (Thursday 22 November 2018; 22:17)

Re: The Mariah Experience (86,421) (86,424) by J from USA It's free to the public. I went and tbh it's nothing serious. A cute little exhibit, pretty small. I wish it would had been bigger and more stuff but for what it is, is worth it, if you're a super fan. (Thursday 22 November 2018; 22:12)

Happy Thanksgiving (86,423) by enwar00 from usa Happy Thanksgiving to anyone celebrating. Among my thanks is Caution. (Thursday 22 November 2018; 21:54)
