Re: Runway (86,109) (86,130) by Bill from the UK Runway is a great song. As I don't care much for GTFO, I actually (gasp) replaced it with Runway on my iTunes. Runway at the end ruined the impact of Portrait, but it sounds great starting the album off. Woke up this morning with One Mo Gen running around in my head. Still flawed by that one. It sounds so retro, and has a fun "Heat" vibe to it. Just love it. I've been playing the album all day, haven't enjoyed one this much since E=MC2. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 18:18)

#1's (86,129) by Billy from Greece Happy twentieth anniversary to one of the most iconic (not) greatest hits compilations in pop culture with an equally iconic cover. Wait a minute, this is too deep. "Sweetheart", "When You Believe", "I Still Believe", "Theme from Mahogany", I adore the bonus tracks. I'm all caught in "Caution" so I'll just leave it here. Twenty years? Oh my.

Caution album signing (86,128) by Jared from USA You guys, she sang to me. I was wearing my light-up t-shirt, and I can't remember what she said at first, but she clearly liked it. I said, "It's sound activated." So she goes, "What do I have to do?" Then I guess it clicked. GTFO was playing in the background, so she sang along to "take your tingz and be on your merry way". At this point, I just didn't know what to say, so I just blurted "I love you so much" before I was whisked away by the folks who were running the event. Anyway, I am dead now and my funeral is tomorrow. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 17:42)

Caution album (86,127) by 90sMariah from SG It's pretty good. I believe it's her best work since Memoirs. I'm skipping MIAM on purpose because that album is a incohesive mess, imo; I didn't like most of the songs and I haven't listened to that album since 2014. Anyway, unlike Caution, the album feels and sounds cohesive. I love 8th Grade, The Distance, Portrait, A No No - love them all, ok? Yes, it didn't have those big vocals that she used to have in her previous works, but I like it. She no longer has to prove herself to anyone because she's done it all vocals wise. So - congrats, Mariah. I really do hope this album goes to number 1 next week, you deserve it. That's all. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 17:36)

Genius interview (86,126) by 90sMariah from SG It was good, but it would've been better if she could just answer the questions without going on a loop or on a tangent. Just answer the questions, Mariah. Then she'd pretend to whisper to herself to echo what she thinks the people involved in her stories are saying or what they're going to say about her responses. It's like she's talking to the other voices in her head out loud lol; it was pretty frustrating and strange if you ask me. Also, she should try and learn how to own up to her past works regardless of their history, instead of dodging and acting defensive (like using the word emblazoned in two of her songs, or Glitter). She kept saying it's all in her upcoming book blah blah, when the questions didn't even require her to give full details just short anecdotes. Oh, Mariah. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 17:27)

Re: Fallon (86,115) (86,125) by Stacey from USA Yeah, she could've handled the Glitter praise a bit better. For an album that caused a lot of grief the passed 17 years, to see it hit #1 should have seen MC be a bit more grateful. Stick up for that album. Has probably one of my favorite ballads on it: Lead The Way. Then again, as someone who has battled depression/anxiety, it might have been a dark enough time, that she doesn't want to dwell on it too much. Anyways, her interview was great and performance too. I couldn't tell what was lipped or not. That's a good sign. What was funny was Ty Dolla put his mic down on parts his voice was heard. Oeps. All in all, she did great. The Distance is growing on me.

For me (86,124) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I really appreciate this album. It sticks to the formula and sound that MC is most comfortable with R&B and with splashes of hip hop but to me it sounds fresh, fun, and sexy. Honestly she worked with people who many of hoped for and the album still screams MC to me. I can also tell she is enjoying her relationship with Tanaka despite others' opinions and it shows with her confidence as of late. Long story short I am loving Caution. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 17:05)

Re: Runway (86,109) (86,123) by Robert-Anthony from United States So true. I hope MC does more songs with Lido and Skillrex. These two have given MC a fresh new sound. And it works with her current voice. Runway is pure brilliance. I have never heard a more perfect mix of R&B and Pop. Can you imagine the dance remixes? Wow. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 16:59)

Robert Anthony (86,122) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I respect your opinion and point of view as well. I also appreciate your contribution to the message board even if we may have a difference of opinion on different things regarding our queen MC. Much respect to you.

Re: Fallon (86,115) (86,121) by Licia from USA She said Glitter ruined her life. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 16:42)

Re: Caution tidbits (86,080) (86,120) by enwar00 from usa Yes that was my initial thought, but the dark sound and lower register make me think of the other one. I heard both in there. It's a great song and really stood out upon first listen. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 16:40)

Caution hashtag (86,119) by T from USA When hasthtaging on twitter we should all come up with the same one so it starts getting attention. I like #CautionSpirit as I think it's one Mariah would pick up on and use. Simple #Caution works as well. Just noticed MTV and a lot of other media sources are using the hasthtag #MariahCaution. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 16:27)

Article: Mariah Carey performs The Distance live on Jimmy Fallon (86,118) by Matthew from USA Nice. Mariah isn't playing around. She's like I know these fools gon' say I'm lip syncing, so let me sing with Ty on his part and then let me sing during the chant at the end as well. She sounded good and she was live, and not in a ballgown doing this particular song. Very nice indeed. Also, Stay Long Love You. I just realized if Drake did Gunna's part, this song would be a hit. But seriously, they kind of sound alike. Is anyone else hearing this? It's turned that song around for me now. So it's GTFO, Distance, A No No, and Stay Long Love as my favs. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 16:10)

Re: Caution: Randy's review (86,100) (86,117) by Special K from USA Randy you know I love like a fat kid loves cake but after reading your review, I know now that I am really going to love Caution after I get off of this Glitter high. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 16:08)

Re: Importance of streaming (86,070) (86,116) by jaker20 from US I put it on repeat while streaming at night when I'm sleeping. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 16:06)

Re: Fallon (86,101) (86,115) by Special K from USA First of all Wilhelmina was pissing me off when she didn't seem over joyed with excitement that the Glitter album is number one. I'll let her slide on that but yes I really enjoyed the performance. Mariah for the most part was singing live and sounded decent. She looks really happy. The Distance is still my fav so far. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 16:03)

Caution-less (86,114) by TheOne from UK I must be honest in my opinion of the album. I think it's probably Mariah's worst album to date. Portrait aside, it feels like she recorded 9 tracks to compete for one spot on a different album, and instead let them all take centre stage on this album. The tracks, and the themes are repetitive. The songs lack melody. There are a few good moments, but not enough to hold a 10 track album together. I do like some of the lyrical work, but to me the album lacks any identity. The Caution theme does not flow throughout the album or indeed make much sense. Usually, Mariah throws a ballad or two in, but to just have Portrait is an insult to her legacy, and the brand that made her. Portrait is dull. The melodies are dull. The production is confused. The album is confused. I think the album should be re-named Confused. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 15:59)

Giving My Life (86,113) by Myles from CT, USA This is Mariah's best song in years. It is on constant replay in my car. The mood, the lyrics, the production and Slick Rick's verse make it far superior than anything she has done recently. Can we talk about that last minute? Giving me life. I can imagine the video dark and moody with a bright orange blood moon. I hope she gives some great visuals. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 15:56)

Re: Glitter #1 (86,094) (86,112) by Special K from USA I agree. Someone should tell Wilhelmina to release that track. #justiceforloverboy (Saturday 17 November 2018; 15:55)

Fallon (86,111) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Loved the performance, her confidence was there and she looked so damn good. She sounded strong too, all in all I am grateful for everything she is giving with this era so far. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 15:54)

YouTube that counts toward the albums chart (86,110) by T from USA If it's a video it only counts towards the individual song or single. Here's a good YouTube playlist that counts for the main album charts too. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 15:23)

Re: Runway (86,109) by Joan from Poland I agree with Liz Archer that Runway should be the lead single. In my opinion, it is also the best song on the album. I guess the history repeats itself (Slipping Away). (Saturday 17 November 2018; 15:21)

Stream Caution (86,108) by T from USA Let's all stream like crazy on Apple Music and Spotify, can we organize a Glitter sized plan for Caution? I think if there is any chance she can get a #1 on the album charts it's going to take the streaming to do it. Currently in sales she's #4 but that could all change. It's only been one day. Can the lambs ban together one more time to make it happen? (Also buy it on iTunes as it currently sits at #4.) (Saturday 17 November 2018; 15:10)

Caution era (86,107) by Billy from Greece What can I say, "I'm in heaven". So very happy to see her like that again. I can't stop smiling. I loved the performance of "The Distance", excellent in every respect. And again, so good to see her enjoying it, enjoying her music, everything. Caution era is the best era in a decade. Can't count Mariah out baby. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 15:02)

A No No lyrics (86,106) by Robert-Anthony from United States Has anybody noticed that "regardless" is printed in the lyrics instead of "irregardless"? So funny. Lol. (Saturday 17 November 2018; 14:56)
