About Bill from the UK: I love Mariah more than you do. London Daydream Tour Attendee.

Re: MC home videos (98,838) (98,853) by Bill from the UK That's great news as I always suspected TFV was never put out on DVD outside of Japan because of her hatred for all the videos. Glad she's got over that now, as I love all of them. Especially Someday. Also Jamie where did you get this news from as I tried to find it but couldn't? (Friday 5 November 2021; 18:24)

Fall In Love (98,852) by Bill from the UK I don't think it's going to dethrone AIWFCIY, or Oh Santa for that matter lol. I must say though, Mariah looks absolutely incredible in the video. Ageless beauty that she is. (Friday 5 November 2021; 18:24)

Re: MC home videos (98,833) (98,834) by Bill from the UK Oh wow, including The First Vision? (Thursday 4 November 2021; 22:09)

Re: Where was everybody? (98,811) (98,812) by Bill from the UK Where she smashed the pumpkin? Very good. Really hoping 2022 delivers The Rarities 2. I found out that the Penny Ford track "I Lose Control" was written by Mariah and Narada Michael Walden for the debut. Narada appaz found the master tape where it was recorded, but MC didn't want it on the debut. I've been listening to Penny's version non-stop imaging those lush 1990 vocals performing it and I'm so desperate to hear it. (Monday 1 November 2021; 12:15)

Re: MC30 (98,795) (98,796) by Bill from the UK Possibly. Appaz her new Christmas single is out (or announced, not sure which) on the 4th November. I've read it has a choir at the end and very "90s Mariah" sounding. So let's see how that all pans out. (Saturday 23 October 2021; 13:52)

Re: MC30 (98,792) (98,794) by Bill from the UK Oh what great news, so glad it is back. Elated to see Joy to the World get its EP release, and finally I have the Crash Dub Crash digitally. Also, great that she included the video version as that has some different ad libs to the regular Celebration Mix. I might have to bring back my remix EP series and bore you all to tears again lol. But wait maybe I do that anyway. (Friday 22 October 2021; 22:53)

Re: 2nd best Christmas album (98,789) (98,790) by Bill from the UK Second best is Merry Christmas II You lol. (Friday 22 October 2021; 10:43)

Re: Without You (98,786) (98,788) by Bill from the UK It's impossible to pick her best for me. Every ballad she's ever done is beautiful and amazing in its own way. (Thursday 21 October 2021; 23:04)

Re: Easy on me (98,754) (98,763) by Bill from the UK You missed the point though. The original discussion about Adele/Easy On Me was a side note "what do people think" rather than comparing it against anything Mariah has ever done. To that end, a bunch of people here said it's boring because it's the same piano-led ballad she's been churning out since she started. Comparisons then shifted to Mariah, who did actually take many creative risks and pushed the boundary with her music (Dreamlover club mix, Fantasy remix, making a Christmas album when no one else was, integrating hip-hop into pop music etc.) I, and many here, have criticised Mariah in the past for releasing variants of We Belong Together since 2005. No one wants to hear another staccato style ballad from her with a key change and long note at the end. Yet, she insists on putting one on every album. So, yes, had Mariah released Easy On Me I would be going nuts and praising her, because it's not something she's done as a lead single since records began. As for Adele releasing it, no, I'm not going to praise something that was exactly what I thought it would be. I don't think anybody is envious of the universal praise Adele gets either. Mariah had her day in the sun and will always be in the history books and a reference/example for others that come along. As will Adele to be fair. I think the point is people are scratching their heads around why Adele is getting praise for putting out the 5th version of Someone Like You. (Sunday 17 October 2021; 10:36)

Re: Easy on me (98,744) (98,750) by Bill from the UK My thoughts exactly. Same old, same old. (Saturday 16 October 2021; 09:51)

Re: Wish/Could've beens list #1s (98,730) (98,733) by Bill from the UK Love this idea. That white dress needs to come back into rotation. (Tuesday 12 October 2021; 21:25)

Re: Allure (98,726) (98,727) by Bill from the UK I bet MC recorded a demo for Head Over Heels. The background vocals/layering that goes on in that song is so Mariah. Also the ad-libs as well. Would love to see that on Rarities 2 as I always imagined her singing it. That and, of course, Where Are You Christmas. (Monday 11 October 2021; 21:12)

Re: Mimi is also immature (98,711) (98,712) by Bill from the UK How any parent would be happy having a 10 year old access the Internet and, especially, the toxic social media platforms is beyond me. Completely understand why Mariah is annoyed about this. They are far too young to be exposed to all that. (Saturday 9 October 2021; 13:06)

Re: Wish/Could've beens list #1s (98,697) (98,700) by Bill from the UK Preach. (Monday 4 October 2021; 16:40)

Re: Wish/Could've beens list #1s (98,689) (98,694) by Bill from the UK You love me really. (Sunday 3 October 2021; 17:50)

Re: Wish/Could've beens list #1s (98,686) (98,688) by Bill from the UK The fact Till the End of Time isn't on your list makes you lose any credibility I'm afraid. (Saturday 2 October 2021; 18:09)

Re: Wish/Could've beens list #1s (98,677) (98,678) by Bill from the UK I love how Migrate isn't on the list. (Friday 1 October 2021; 15:12)

Re: Hero 2021 (98,674) (98,676) by Bill from the UK There's a hero, when you're acting corny like Fritos. (Friday 1 October 2021; 09:03)

Re: Hero 2021 (98,668) (98,669) by Bill from the UK Even though there have been better performances of herself, and better live performances overall, I think Hero at Proctor's Theatre is her defining live performance. (Wednesday 29 September 2021; 12:53)

Re: Voices and age (98,646) (98,647) by Bill from the UK Dionne's like 900 years old, what do you expect? (Thursday 23 September 2021; 11:54)

Re: Rarities 2 (98,630) (98,632) by Bill from the UK Yep she confirmed it on Twitter on that Lambily Lounge thing she does. (Monday 20 September 2021; 10:44)

Re: Rarities 2 (98,624) (98,631) by Bill from the UK I hope that Rarities 2 has the 1993 Music Box concert at MSG as a live disc, and that the concert footage is released on Blu-ray as with Tokyo Dome. There were quite a few omissions from Rarities 1 (There For Me, Imperfect, Skydiving) so I hope we get those. As the TEOM and E=MC2 b-sides are now on the streaming platforms please don't waste disc space with them. And please Mariah. The demo tape. (Monday 20 September 2021; 09:39)

Re: Something big is coming (98,600) (98,603) by Bill from the UK Wow. I hope it's a Glitter anniversary special. Remix EPs for Loverboy and Never Too Far/Hero, the videos finally released properly in HD, the album on vinyl, and those blanked out tracks she posted at the beginning of MC30 released. But it's probably a new batch of cookies or a perfume lol. (Monday 13 September 2021; 09:01)

Re: Music now (98,585) (98,587) by Bill from the UK Yes agree. Abba may single handedly save 2021. I had a lump in my throat when I listened to their two new songs. I can't recall the last time I heard new music that had compositional structure and intelligence, tuneful and familiar/nostalgic melodies, interesting and poignant lyrics, and delivered with integrity and grace. Their music is a testament to their talent, and has only highlighted what the artists of this time lack, with hardly an original thought between them all. A band like Abba have appeared after a 40 year hiatus and blown them all out of the water. Best start saving now for their concert next year. (Wednesday 8 September 2021; 03:22)

Re: Music Box tour footage NYC (98,580) (98,582) by Bill from the UK I know right? I have played Vanishing about 90 times this week alone. (Monday 6 September 2021; 23:43)
