Next album (94,259) by Bobby A from United States I really feel MC is working on a new album that is going to take Lambs back to Butterfly, TEOM, and E=MC2 mixed into one cohesive powerhouse album. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 15:49)

Re: MC / Timbaland (94,254) (94,258) by Bobby A from United States She wanted to work with Timbaland and Missy together for Babydoll, but his schedule wouldn't allow it. MC said that during an interview. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 15:44)

Re: Skydiving (94,255) (94,257) by T from USA She put some songs that were already on Memoirs onto MIAMTEC. I wish instead she put Skydiving on it as I believe it would've even bolstered an already excellent album. Timbaland was at the top of his game in 2014. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 15:19)

They Don't Know Me - demo song from MOAIA (94,256) by John from USA Does anyone remember this demo song from the Memoirs era? All we have is The Dream's demo and the lyrics still definitely need reworking (for instance: the opening line says: It's 8AM in the morning, lols). It has a lot of potential though, and Mariah's breathy vocals would fit right in for the verses. I just wish Mariah had recorded this. For those who don't remember, here is the link.

Re: Skydiving (94,251) (94,255) by John from USA Thanks for the link. That's the longest version I've heard so far. I think sonically, Skydiving may even fit Caution as well. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 06:59)

MC / Timbaland (94,254) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Mariah has only worked with Timbaland twice. On both [Skydiving] and 8th [Grade]. Babydoll was actually produced by Stevie J. with additional production by Cory Rooney. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 03:10)

Re: There's got to be a way live (94,248) (94,253) by Bill from the UK I know TGTBAW often gets overlooked, and at times mocked for its production etc., but it's incredible and shocking, how 30 years/a generation after it was written, we still find ourselves in the same world. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 22:38)

Re: Must see Glitter promo video (94,250) (94,252) by Bill from the UK I loved the part where she couldn't keep a straight face when listing the differences between Dice and Tommy haha. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 22:35)

Re: Skydiving (94,246) (94,251) by T from USA This is the unmixed version that was done during the Memoirs sessions. First time Mariah and Timbaland worked with each other since she teamed up with [Missy] on [Babydoll]. I think it would've fit perfectly with [Memoirs] to break up but also compliment the Dream songs. Ignore the talking over it and try to focus on the vocals, lyrics and production. It's sublime.

Must see Glitter promo video (94,250) by Edouard from France Hi everyone, very interesting video about the resurgence of the video uncovers what I believe is a never-before-seen promo video from the Glitter era. It seems to me that the story line of the movie was to be different: no so focus on the making of a star thing, more about the love story, the whitewashing of Billie's music, her choice not to go with the corporate guys, etc. The music on the album also would have been different. Mariah mentions a collaborative effort with Prince. She throws a little shade at Mottola and Lopez, alludes to plagiarism and not wanting to be blamed. Check it out. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 18:01)

Re: 8th Grade (94,243) (94,249) by darrian liu from taiwan I see it, but I think the title kinda relates to the mindset of the "voice" she's portraying in the song. The lyrics are as if they were written by someone with this indecisive, flimsy, kinda timid mindset, a lil bit like an 8th grader. I think Mariah was trying to harken back to her middle school days with the cig reference too. It might be a little bit of a reach, but it kinda makes sense to me. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 17:38)

There's got to be a way live (94,248) by Ma from Germany Mariah did it. She sang a snippet. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 16:36)

8th Grade (94,247) by Jeff from USA It was my favorite song from Caution when the album came out and it still is today. Mariah at her best. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 14:10)

Skydiving (94,246) by enwar00 from usa What the heck, I don't know if I've even heard this song. Is it good? What does it sound like? What album was it supposed to be on, E=MC2? Does anyone have a link to post here? I can't find it. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 06:25)

Re: 8th Grade (94,243) (94,245) by RibbonB from USA She will never tell what that song is really about. But unearthly for a very sad moment in time. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 03:12)

Re: 8th Grade (94,239) (94,244) by Edouard from France One of my instant favs on Caution if not my fav. I believe the song is about her relationship with Packer and how it echoed the childish type of relationships you tend to put on a pedestal when you're young, when you're in 8th grade. Genius lyrics. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 03:07)

Re: 8th Grade (94,239) (94,243) by Licia from USA This is one of the 3 songs from Caution I still listen to. It gets played daily. Everything is on point from the vocals to the production. The only thing I don't like is that I really don't understand how the lyrics correlate with the title of the song. I believe she tried to explain it in an interview, but I still didn't get it. I t look over that little blip though because it's a great song regardless. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 02:13)

8th grade (94,242) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) This song is still a favorite of mine, still enjoying the Caution album as if it was released just recently. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 01:37)

Re: 8th Grade (94,239) (94,241) by Edouard from France One of my instant favs on Caution if not my fav. (Saturday 30 May 2020; 00:09)

Re: MIAMTEC platinum edition (94,237) (94,240) by Bill from the UK Skydiving is great, but I wish Almost Home made it onto MIAM. (Friday 29 May 2020; 23:22)

8th Grade (94,239) by darrian liu from taiwan Can I just say how much Mariah struck gold with this song? Ever since Caution's release, it never left my regular playlists on Spotify. The melody is beautiful, Timbaland's production is impeccable, and Mariah's vocal performance is subtle, yet still packs a punch. I love the classic Mariah sound it has infused with lil twists here and there, truly one of Caution's highlights. (Friday 29 May 2020; 21:05)

Re: TESMIAM (?) anniversary (94,236) (94,238) by Tijl from Belgium It takes only two spins to get one through a lockdown. (Friday 29 May 2020; 17:26)

MIAMTEC platinum edition (94,237) by T from USA If only she would've saved Timbaland's produced "Skydiving" for that album (like she did Betcha and It's a Wrap). Imagine this tracklist: 1. Skydiving (ft. Drake) 2. Cry 3. Faded 4. Dedicated (ft. Nas) 5. #Beautiful (ft. Miguel) 6. Make It Look Good 7. You're Mine 8. You Don't Know What To Do 9. Supernatural 10. Meteorite 11. Camouflage 12. The Art Of Letting Go (Friday 29 May 2020; 17:04)

Re: TESMIAM (?) anniversary (94,234) (94,236) by Bill from the UK Not as long as Charmbracelet. Sometimes it feels like that album has a run time clocking in at four weeks. (Friday 29 May 2020; 16:54)

Re: MIAM (94,231) (94,235) by Tijl from Belgium TAOLG is one of my all time favourite MC tracks. There is a bite and realness to it that surpasses and outshines the vocal gymnastics of her early years. I like when it Mariah gets real as with "Side Effects" lyrics for example.
