Yes. I like the styles of dresses that she's wearing at these recent shows. Hopefully, She got a good stylist. She deserves to look classy. She's a legend!

Doesn't look good for Mariah's tour or residency.

[celinefanonline]

just listened to the song ....... mmm it's just ok... it's not a bad song but don't think it will be #1 though but who knows

[Bell]

It may not become a big hit but I like the lyrics, I can totally feel it these days.

[Bell]

I saw the video and liked it a lot. Mariah looks pretty as always.

[celinesounds]

i like the new song, but it sounds so Ariana

[Bell]

I thought just the same. However, it's more like Mariah showing Ariana how it's done.

IM SOOO LOVIN IT :clap: !!!! its giving me eargasms & feels :wub: !! I dont care that it doesnt have any big notes. its been a while Mariah released some "preachy" tracks. NOW im hopeful... i hope they give this one some proper promotion & a decent video.

[Taking Chances]

I gotta say, I love the album cover.

[Tyler1991]

I love mariah but wow, how bad must things be to be performing at venues a solid thousand seats SMALLER than caesers for her tour... the venue she is at in my city only seats 2600.

 

Worse yet, the Facebook comments on her tour announcement posts are very unfavorable, a lot of jokes at her expense for the sake of likes. I feel bad but with her playback levels out of control and her setlist boring while she sits on couches, i cant blame her.

 

I was telling people at work today that i enjoy mariah for her music. That's it. Her performing, stage presence, confidence, and personality have all taken a nose dive. This tour and list of shows is a sad conformation about the damaged state of her career.

Lovin this:

 

 

I dont see a lota promotion goin on... her last few albums tanked coz of terrible promotion & management

[rakesh]

hmmm weird.. :hmm:

 

Mariah's "Glitter" hits No. 1 on U.S. iTunes album chart

 

Mariah Carey‘s about to drop her new studio album Caution on Friday (November 16) - but she's already back at No. 1 with a nearly two decade-old collection. Glitter, the 2001 soundtrack to her movie of the same name, has jumped up to the top spot on the U.S. iTunes Album Chart as of Wednesday (November 14).

 

"Not sure what's happening but I love it. The lambily is amazing at getting justice for Glitter," Mariah said as the album approached the top spot. The album's resurgence came about as part of a fan initiative (#JusticeForGlitter).

 

The film, which has become a cult classic, famously got poor reviews upon its release, and its accompanying soundtrack was unfortunately released on September 11, 2001. Mariah celebrated the achievement in a series of emojis she wrote along with a screenshot of the charts. Congrats, Mariah!

I listened the a new album on my way to work, half an hour ago! I have to say, I found it pretty nice! Much better than the last 3! Well done Mariah!

[Bell]

The new album is wonderful but her last one was very good as well.

[rakesh]

i brought the album online. its good and i like it; but i dont LOVE it!! apart from a few (The Distance, A No No, 8th Grade, Portrait) i found it little blehh... a bit like "Charmbracelet" or "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" (minus a classic like "Through The Rain" or "H.A.T.E.U") ...too R&B-hip-hop!! ...sounds more like a concept album than commercial. youtube comment sections are full of "ooohh... its a bop after bop after bop" comments which i dont really agree with. LOVED the song-writing. LOVE "Portrait" ...im getting "Petals" vibes; love it when Mariah bears her soul like this and be vulnerable.

At this point i wouldnt expect her to belt out an octave jumping track like "Through The Rain" & i do understand that she doesnt have anything to prove. but i wouldve loved her to make some commercial & catchy tracks. #Beautiful sounded sooooo good when it came out ...i still believe it wouldve peaked no less than Top 5 if it was handled well. i thought "Mariah Carey - Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse" was an AMAZING album that was VERY mismanaged.

Mariah Carey - Caution 3.5 out of 5

 

Thursday 15 November 2018

Pure camp derives largely from its creator's inability to discern between the good, the bad, and the so bad it's good. Where Mariah Carey fits on that spectrum has always been so hard to pin down because she seems at once oblivious to reality and knowingly defiant of her place in it. Like Michael Jackson before her, Mariah appears increasingly intent on perpetuating the perception of herself as an artist in arrested development, often uncomfortably juxtaposing that notion with hypersexual imagery and a mercurial sense of self-awareness. This cognitive dissonance has made her simultaneously fascinating and frustrating for both those who enjoy her talents superficially and those who deign to dig deeper.

 

Mariah's 13th studio album, Caution, finds the singer fully and unapologetically embracing those contradictions. She's flashed glimpses of eccentricity in her work as far back as 1997's Butterfly, but the deployment of slang, acronyms, and even hashtags in her lyrics and song titles has only intensified in recent years. Which would seem like a transparent attempt at maintaining relevance if not for the fact that it all rolls off her tongue with the same ease as the multisyllabic 10-dollar words and third-person singular peppered throughout songs like "One Mo' Gen" and "8th Grade".

 

"Maybe the lyrics are too heavy," Mariah muses on the latter track. She's described the album's opening song, "GTFO", as "light-hearted", and indeed, it bumps along dreamily to a sleek sample of Porter Robinson's EDM track "Goodbye to a World". Hidden beneath Mariah's nonchalant delivery and kitschy patois, however, belies a heaviness that's perhaps informed by the song's apocalyptic source material: "You left me lost and disenchanted. Bulldozed my heart as if you planned it," she laments before downing an entire bottle of California red.

 

This isn't the first time that Mariah has drowned her sorrows in song, but an undercurrent of sadness is apparent even when she's supposedly keeping things buoyant. She's "haunted" and "desensitized" on the album's closing track, "Portrait", a confessional that plays like a sequel to Butterfly‘s "Close My Eyes", though it lacks the sophistication of that ballad or past album closers like Daydream's "Looking In". Her belting toward the end of the song likewise lacks the clarity and tone of her peak vocals, though she ad-libs in full voice like it's 1997 on the otherwise unassuming title track.

 

As Mariah's gymnastic vocal ability began to wane in the late '90s, it was replaced with an equally notable skill: aerobic lyrical phrasing. Mariah has developed a rapper's ear for both rhythm and message, and rapid-fire references - Marilyn Monroe, Edward Scissorhands, even her lawyer - pile up by the end of each verse of songs like "A No No". Her words similarly bleed into a heady blur on "One Mo' Gen": "I'm gon' need a ride home now sooner or later. Must I reiterate, can we pick up the pace?"

 

Backed by a rubbery beat that takes its sweet time stretching out, the aptly titled "The Distance" boasts a hook that perfectly calibrates Mariah's penchant for both belting and breathy under-performance. The album's pièce de résistance, however, is "Giving Me Love", a smoldering six-minute slow jam that successfully recaptures the erotic tension of Mariah's 1997 single "The Roof". Produced by Dev Hynes, the track matches the singer's sultry lower register with a snaky electric guitar riff, a mono synth line inspired by Kool & the Gang's classic "Summer Madness", and - because why not? - a sample from the 1983 Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy film Trading Places.

 

At a mere 10 tracks, Caution is Mariah's leanest album in 25 years. With the exception of the formulaic "With You", which sounds like an outtake from E=MC2, the R&B and adult contemporary-style ballads that launched (and re-launched) her career have been largely replaced here by textured, midtempo grooves. Caution feels like the album Mariah has wanted to make all along: one that literally throws caution to the wind and sees her embracing her inner weirdo. And, ironically, it took her ending up back at Sony Music to do it.

Mariah sounds quite good here. she looks quite comfortable and the song is very much in her current range so she didnt strain herself at all. VERY pleased!!!
