Re: Groan (89,370) (89,374) by B from USA Why are you so obsessed with me? What have I said that is disingenuous, purposely manipulative, or intentionally untrue? (Sunday 28 April 2019; 15:59)

Re: MC's Caution is so boring right now to me (89,359) (89,373) by Tijl from Belgium Like fine wine, it gets better in time. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 13:58)

Re: (89,358) (89,372) by MusicfanJ from Germany I understand what you mean with "street diva". But Mariah is clearly more diva than "street". That role playing seems to be fun for her. I don't know. For me Mariah is a classic diva, but a sweet one. I really do believe that inside her true self she's sometimes still "the Long Island girl". (Sunday 28 April 2019; 12:03)

Re: (89,360) (89,371) by MusicfanJ from Germany "I'd love a jazz album or an album of standards or a stripped album with mostly piano guitar." Yes, I won't give up this dream. That album would be everything. She would "shine" with every song. Almost everybody can do a "modern" album today with all the computers. But to do a jazz record or piano one you need to be a real musician and have a "special voice". So it's perfect for the songbird supreme. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 11:46)

Re: Groan (89,349) (89,370) by Andrew from London UK You've only just realised that everything Brandon says is disingenuous, purposely manipulative, often even intentionally untrue? This accounts for 98% of his messages lol. The other 2% is Bruno Mars and The Smeezingtons. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 11:07)

Re: (89,360) (89,369) by Giovanni from USA I totally agree. I'd love to hear a cover of "Lullaby of birdland". (Sunday 28 April 2019; 06:17)

Re: Collaborations (89,353) (89,368) by Giovanni from USA Yes please, asap. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 06:14)

Re: (89,360) (89,367) by B from USA Mariah's promotue [sic] performances at the Carlyle Jazz Club and several of her songs (The Wind, anyone?) prove she can do jazz. Mariah's versatility as an artist and a singer could easily allow her to successfully crossover into any genre. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 05:48)

Re: (89,358) (89,366) by B from USA Even if she is 52 when she releases her next album, she'll look half her age. However I, don't think we'll have to wait another 4 years for a new album. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 05:39)

The original or the remix (89,365) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Personally I prefer the ISB (Pure Imagination remix). I prefer The Angel prelude to Angels Cry. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 02:53)

Before I let go (89,364) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) I appreciate Beyoncé for covering a classic but the original will always be superior in my opinion. Robert-Anthony why should MC all of sudden change her sound to fit a mode than she will be criticized for following a trend and trying to current. At this point she at an age where she does not appeal to average top 40 audience which is considered 18-34 so radio would give her a hard time either way. On top of that she made an album that sounds current but it is still classic MC as it should be. I am glad she sticks making music that she loves because she has already broken so many chart records that many pop stars today can only wish they see 1/3 of her success. Also if MC wanted to make a trap pop album she definitely could but she loves R&B or the contemporary R&B sounds so she stays in that lane. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 02:50)

Re: "Remixes" that are better than the original (89,354) (89,363) by B from USA I love that remix but I love the album version more. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 02:22)

Re: Angels Cry (89,357) (89,362) by B from USA I prefer the Angel The Prelude to Angels Cry. It's hauntingly beautiful. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 02:21)

Re: (89,358) (89,361) by B from USA Mariah doesn't and never has had a "street diva" persona. Why are you mad at her for working with the best producers in the game at the moment? By the way, Giving Me Life features a guitar solo. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 02:20)

Re: (89,358) (89,360) by Dove from United States I'd love a jazz album or an album of standards or a stripped album with mostly piano guitar and vocals as much as the next guy but I don't mind her working with younger people. I feel like the fun and innovation is with the younger people and she's gotta keep it fresh. The standards, stripped, or jazz album has to be a side project IMO. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 00:25)

Re: MC's Caution is so boring right now to me (89,343) (89,359) by enwar00 from usa What do you mean, I thought this was her Thriller album. Geez. So fairweathered. That's a no no. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 00:17)

(89,358) by Randy from USA And my favorite part of this is she'll be 52 at the next album. So will she still be working with 25 year old rappers and producers or will it be enough already with trying to hold onto this "street diva" persona and we finally get a jazz album or an album of standards or a stripped album with mostly piano guitar and vocals? (Saturday 27 April 2019; 22:29)

Angels Cry (89,357) by Jeff from USA Such an underrated gem. But can we talk about the prelude? I'm not sure if I even believe in angels, but that made me want to believe. (Saturday 27 April 2019; 18:16)

Next single (89,356) by Jeff from USA I'm not holding my breath, but I would love to see Caution and 8th Grade released as singles. I think, unfortunately, that all but the Lambily have moved on. (Saturday 27 April 2019; 18:14)

Remixes (89,355) by Jeff from USA I am unabashedly a fan of some of MC's remixes. Breakdown Mo Thugs remix Heartbreaker If You Should Ever Be Lonely The Roof Mob Deep remix Fantasy ODB remix TGIFY Make It Last ABMB Mr Dupri Mix I Still Believe Damizza Obsessed Gucci Butterfly Fly Away Reprise (Saturday 27 April 2019; 18:11)

Re: "Remixes" that are better than the original (89,342) (89,354) by Bill from the UK And obviously I Still Believe (Pure Imagination Remix) eclipses the album version. (Saturday 27 April 2019; 18:06)

Re: Collaborations (89,338) (89,353) by B from USA I've been begging for Mariah to collaborate with Bruno Mars since I heard When I Was Your Man. Maybe The Stereotypes can make it happen since they've worked with Mariah and Bruno. (Saturday 27 April 2019; 18:00)

Re: The art of letting go (89,339) (89,352) by B from USA And it gave us this amazing viral moment. (Saturday 27 April 2019; 17:55)

Re: "Remixes" that are better than the original (89,342) (89,351) by Dove from United States I also love I Still Believe Pure Imagination remix. (Saturday 27 April 2019; 17:54)

Re: "Remixes" that are better than the original (89,342) (89,350) by B from USA The Thank God I Found You (Make It Last Remix) ft. Joe and Nas is better than the original. I wouldn't go as far as saying the My All/Stay Awhile Remix is better than the original but it's just as good in my opinion as is the Classic Club Mix. Agreed. The Mo' Thugs Remix of Breakdown and the Mobb Deep Extended Version Remix of The Roof take both songs to another level. I mean, come on as Mariah would say. Both songs are enhanced by having hip-hop legends Bone Thugs and Harmony and Mobb Deep on them. (Saturday 27 April 2019; 17:47)
