Mariah Carey - General Discussion

Kind of annoying how much her stans downplay Caution because she said one vaguely negative thing about the recording process.
It's a lean and brilliant album, and feels like such a fresh take on Mariah. Top 3 for sure.
Exactly, Caution remains excellent, and is easily a classic Mariah record I think.
My only issues with Caution are with the campaign itself. I was grateful it was succinct, but having a buzz single before the main single kind of killed the buzz for With You a bit - they either should have settled on one, had With You come a bit later, or had the buzz single come after the lead. Obviously The Distance should have received full single status too. Also Runway should be on streaming services by now, it's been almost 3 years!!
Still a bit fuming that it was 40-OUT in the UK charts.

What did she actually say?
Something about her not liking it because she was rushed to finish or something.
It still is fantastic. Always was, always will be.
I just need a moan. Why is the Patti and Mariah - Got to Be Real performance recording not available anywhere in the UK online outside of the dodgy live performance on Youtube. The album it's on, Live! One Night Only, seems to be banned here or something! It's even on MelOn in bloody Korea!

She talks about it at the 41-46 minute mark. But yes, tl;dr she felt a bit rushed with it and wanted to put a few more things on it, as opposed to Butterfly where she could go wherever to work on it and take her time.
I spent hours recently trying to trick Amazon Germany into letting me buy it on their online store, to no avail. I need it!
It’s taken like 9 years, but Butterfly has finally clicked with me as an album and is now in my Mariah top 3, along with Daydream and Emotions. Let’s hope Charmbracelet can do something similar soon!
