Re: "Glitter" (85,926) (85,929) by Bill from the UK I gave it a spin the other day without knowing about this countdown thing. Nothing tops If We. What a great song, don't blame J.Lo for stealing it lol. And those runs on Lead the Way have got to be some of the best she ever put down on a record. Great album. Sorry, "soundtrack" lol.

Re: Caution top 4 (85,927) (85,928) by Bill from the UK It's what we love about her. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 21:09)

Re: Caution top 4 (85,924) (85,927) by enwar00 from usa Mmhmm she already dragged one earlier. 6 more opportunities Licia. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 20:48)

"Glitter" (85,926) by Billy from Greece Totally hyped for the release of "Caution" but super excited with what's happening with "Glitter". I guess what goes around comes around. I was just bopping to the CD. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 20:18)

Re: Glitter revival (85,923) (85,925) by Will from England It's because certain Mariah fan pages are doing a countdown to Caution, and encouraging fans to take part by streaming each album in celebration. Because Glitter can't be streamed, lambs have been buying it instead. It's an amazing show of what we as a fan base are capable of doing when working together. A soundtrack album that almost derailed her career, was panned by critics, was released 17 years ago is now in the top 10 (I believe) of the iTunes US chart. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 20:16)

Caution top 4 (85,924) by Bill from the UK 1. With You 2. A No No 3. The Distance 4. GTFO But, I really do enjoy the top three equally. GTFO was a bit of a "meh" for me because it is, in my opinion, lazy songwriting. That said, really looking forward to the album on Friday and seeing everyone's thoughts on it. Especially how many tracks Licia hates haha. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 19:38)

Re: Glitter revival (85,902) (85,923) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Seriously, what is with this sudden Glitter revival?. Number 6 on USA iTunes, number 54 on Canadian iTunes. Merry Christmas is at 69 on USA iTunes and 73 on Canadian iTunes. Maybe because so many people overlooked Glitter for the amazing album it is back in the day, and the public is craving music that aren't the standard #1s and regular set-list she plays in concert. Maybe the Glitter revival is an indication of the general public being thirsty for new Mariah music? (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 18:22)

Re: Top 4 from Caution (85,916) (85,922) by Matty from Vancouver Canada 1. GTFO 2. The Distance 3. With You 4. A No No I love them all so far. This sounds like Mariah's most current/pop sounding album since E=MC2 and than Rainbow before that. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 17:56)

Re: Be nice or leave (85,917) (85,921) by Andrew from UK Okay. On a positive note: Mariah took up half the front cover and the whole celebrity inside spread of the Metro today. Metro is London's free morning transport newspaper. Everyone reads it whilst going to work on the tube or the trains. It's also read across the UK and has a bigger circulation than The Sun. So it's a bit of a score for Mariah to be on the cover and have such promotion inside. One tidbit of "negativity" - or "honesty" as I like to call it: the UK doesn't really go for Mariah or her music anymore so the album will not do well regardless of the promotion. Or even irregardless of it. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 17:53)

Justice for Glitter (85,920) by Dav from Ireland Glitter is now number 7 on iTunes USA. Just bought my copy, have you? So random and fun. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 17:35)

Glitter's success on iTunes Album Chart (85,919) by MC1989 from Spain Glitter is now #1 in Philipines #1 Vietnam #1 Thailand #2 Malasya #4 Brazil #5 Indonesia #6 Taiwan #8 United States # 15 United Kingdom # 20 Italy This is [censored] amazing. Justice for Glitter, one of MC's best works. The movie is bad, the album is great. P.S: "Want You" is one of Mariah's most underrated songs. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 17:32)

Re: Glitter revival (85,902) (85,918) by 123 from USA A lamb from another board thought of a cool idea to listen to each album per day as a countdown to Caution. Each album had a day assigned to it. Glitter is not on any streaming services so many lambs just bought the album instead to listen to it on the day it was Glitters turn. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 17:17)

Be nice or leave (85,917) by Dav from Ireland Great to see all the positivity on the board. We're a day away from hearing the new album. Glitter is in the top 10 in iTunes USA. Mariah is just on the way home from a sucessful tour of Asia. She's in good vocal shape, looking well and seems happy. It's a great time to be a Lamb. The nightmare era is over and we're just getting going on the Caution era. But it's all in fighting and discussions about Ariana here. Some people just choose to be negative.

Re: Top 4 from Caution (85,911) (85,916) by Dav from Ireland 1. GTFO 2. With You 3. The Distance 4. A No No (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 16:43)

Caution release strategy (85,915) by B from USA On YouTube a user proposed that Mariah's team has released the Caution singles backwards intentionally. What do you guys think? (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 16:40)

Top 4 from Caution (85,914) by Edward from USA 1. With You ("Ooh, shots of Remy" at 3:02, is everything.) 2. The Distance (Should've been the first single.) 3. GTFO (Nice, different, but a little boring.) 4. A No No (Very fun, but "TD" is way better.) (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 16:29)

Re: All I want for my birthday is to see Mariah Carey (85,904) (85,913) by B from USA Andy, you're delusional. No one comes for you until you come at them or disrespect Mariah or members or this board. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 16:12)

Re: GTFO, next (85,905) (85,912) by 123 from USA Dahling I was the first one on the said list until I got bored. Proceed with Caution. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 16:07)

Top 4 from Caution (85,911) by Myles from CT, USA 1. A No No 2. GTFO 3. The Distance 4. With You (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 15:49)

Re: All I want for my birthday is to see Mariah Carey (85,903) (85,910) by B from USA No, the point was every message that makes it through is written by you. As for whether or not Eric was being serious or not I don't know and honestly I don't care. It was only mentioned because he seems to post every despicable message you write. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 14:39)

Ariana (85,909) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) At this point to be quite honest I really do not see the comparison. Mariah is an established icon who has not only sang some amazing songs but she is the creative songwriter behind these gems. She also has created timeless bodies of work that have lasted the test of time. On the other hand you have Ariana who is now almost five albums in and still no sign of classic material so far I get a trendy new artist with songs of the moment that have yet to prove she is a legend in the making. Time will certainly tell. But I will say she is one of today's popular artists. On another note to me Ariana's voice lacks soul, depth, and passion but I say she is ok with her instrument but she has yet to wow me with anything almost five eras in. But in due time we will see if she is just hype or actual substance. But I wish her well and much more success. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 14:22)

Re: Ariana (85,907) (85,908) by MusicfanJ from Germany To compare Mariah and Ariana is a joke. Sorry but this Disney kid is not a bit like Mariah. It's bubble gum pop with RnB elements. She tried to copy or was forced to copy I don't know, but she's not a real artist. Pretty and young with an ok voice that's all. That she is so hyped in the US, I can't understand. The teens in Europe know and love her of course too, but I don't know anyone who is listening her music. Lady Gaga has more fans here I guess. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 12:07)

Ariana (85,907) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines The problem with Ariana is that 4 albums into her career (with a fifth on the way led by "thank u, next") she still has shown very little creative potential to carry her career through the next five years whilst maintaining her current popularity. Social media has accelerated the shelf life of artists so much. Even Katy, GaGa (Shallow still can't soar to #1) and Rihanna are struggling to get hits these days, when basically anything they touched turned to gold from 2008-2012. That really was not too long ago. Ariana took 5 () years to score a #1 hit that isn't even on her latest album that was released just 3 months ago. Her career moves highly rely on hype and trends, and no matter how bold she and her fans think of her artistic moves and merits, the end result is almost always underwhelming. Something is just off. Her voice just lacks the heft and conviction (and perfect enunciation) of the quintessential diva. That alone makes her output quite lightweight and much less impactful. With that being said, as much as we all know that the Mariah-Ariana comparison is invalid, the reality is that what Mariah was to us in the 90s and 00s is what Ariana is to today's generation. Since they simply cannot relate to Mariah anymore, Ari is their wide-ranged diva-in-the-making. Yes, it seems like such a downgrade, but it also emphasizes just how lucky most of us lambs are to have been be able to witness Mariah's then domination and epic 2005 comeback. After the back-to-back blockbuster successes of Music Box and Daydream, even the harshest, most skeptical critics had to begrudgingly admit to themselves that Mariah was in it for the long haul. Ariana's success so far doesn't seem as hopeful, with her youthful appearance and image that no one will be taking seriously when she turns 30 and especially her pleasant but flavor-of-the-moment material.

Re: Caution top 4 so far (85,890) (85,906) by Terna from Nigeria 1. GTFO. I was hooked with the very first listen and it's still my favorite out of all the four tracks and is in heavy (all caps) rotation. 2. The Distance. I liked it at first play but then it digresssed a little bit and then kinda picked back up again. Lol. 3. With You. Took a lot of plays to get into but I love it enough to not skip when it comes on and the video enhanced the song actually. 4. My Least favorite. Doesn't mean I don't like it which I do, but I like the other three much more. Caution is easily gonna be a solid Mariah Carey album and a favorite of mine. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 11:14)

Re: GTFO, next (85,899) (85,905) by Andrew from UK It baffles me, truly, that nobody else I'd all over this. If Ariana has not lifted GTFO in its entirety she has done a bloody good job of making it sound like a carbon copy. She is disingenuous and unlikeable. I predict she will not have a long term career. Actually, I merely hope she will not. And you're on my list, now. You just made me watch Ellen. My eyes are bleeding. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 10:14)
