About Todd from Sydney, Australia: My Jack Russell is fond of Infinity

Re: My ranking of Mariah's albums (97,421) (97,423) by Todd from Sydney, Australia 1. Butterfly 2. MIAMTEC 3. Rainbow 4. E=MC2 5. Charmbracelet 6. The Emancipation of Mimi 7. Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel 8. Mariah Carey 9. Emotions 10. Glitter 11. Daydream 12. Caution 13. Music Box That was hard because truth be told I love them all. It's more a ranking of tracks that I skip from low-high. (Sunday 21 February 2021; 08:29)

What other music are people into right now? (97,338) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Always curious to hear what other music MC fans are into at the moment. I've recently and accidentally developed quite a fondness for country music after hearing "Tennessee Whiskey" by Chris Stapleton. This has thoroughly confused my Spotify, and after finding all sorts of new "yee-hawww" songs I like, my "made for you" auto playlists are now completely [censored] up.

Re: Favorite Mariah album? (97,318) (97,337) by Todd from Sydney, Australia I think the Emancipation of Mimi would be my favourite, very closely followed by Butterfly and/or Merry Christmas. (Thursday 11 February 2021; 11:31)

Re: MC16 (97,113) (97,117) by Todd from Sydney, Australia My favourite mashup is still "Million Reasons" and "WBT" - check it out if you haven't heard it! (Monday 11 January 2021; 00:33)

Northern Hemisphere lambs (97,092) by Todd from Sydney, Australia American lambily - stay safe. In complete disbelief about what's going on over there. UK folks - do some jigsaws and read some books. Melbourne went through one of the worlds toughest lockdowns and as hideous as it was, it worked. I listened to a lot of MC during those 112 days, even Infinity. Thinking of you all, I hate how effed up the world is right now. (Thursday 7 January 2021; 04:51)

Bah humbug (97,052) by Todd from Sydney, Australia There's nothing quite as lamb-depressing as looking at the Spotify and Apple Music charts a couple of days after Christmas. (Tuesday 29 December 2020; 20:50)

Re: I'm back (96,847) (96,852) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Can we not do this anti Andrew thing again? It's Christmas for smurfs sakes. Heads up though - for somebody that can't stand him, you seem pretty damn obsessed just quietly. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 13:06)

Oh Santa with Ari and JHUD (96,798) by Todd from Sydney, Australia I. Am. Obsessed. The video for this is so cute. (Friday 4 December 2020; 08:16)

Re: Kelly? (96,783) (96,784) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Her kids are probably obsessed with Ariana so that likely had something to do with it. (Friday 4 December 2020; 00:47)

Spotify (96,768) by Todd from Sydney, Australia So I just got my end of year stats from Spotify: Artists 1 - MC (apparently I'm in her top 0.1% of listeners, yikes) 2 - Chris Stapleton 3 - Benee 4 - Charlie Puth 5 - John Legend Songs 1 - Out Here on My Own 2 - Tennessee Whisky by Chris Stapleton (that's my jam lol) 3 - Catching Feelings by Six60 4 - Soaked by Benee 5 - Adore You by Harry Styles (there goes my street cred) Some of these are very local so most people won't know them, but curious to know what others are? We clearly all have excellent taste in music. (Wednesday 2 December 2020; 12:37)

Re: AIWFCIY official videos (96,759) (96,760) by Todd from Sydney, Australia 1 - B & W version 2 - Original 3 - New, blonde version 4 - So So Def 5 - Bieber (a then 40-something woman as a love interest for a teenager put me off my turkey) (Wednesday 2 December 2020; 01:31)

GTFO (96,543) by Todd from Sydney, Australia GTFO is getting some love by the kiddies on TikTok at the moment. It's being used [as] a soundtrack for their political feelings towards the Cheeto in Charge. (Thursday 5 November 2020; 19:43)

Re: Another book review (96,449) (96,450) by Todd from Sydney, Australia He got thanked in the credits, followed by an IFLY (I f**king love you), so I think he's more than an employee. (Wednesday 28 October 2020; 23:17)

Re: New album (96,426) (96,430) by Todd from Sydney, Australia I don't think we'll get a new album for many many years. I get the feeling that after Caution and The Rarities' lukewarm reception. I wonder how many albums her contract called for with Sony? Aren't they normally three? With #1 to Infinity, Caution and now The Rarities, maybe that's it? (Monday 26 October 2020; 02:28)

Re: Firecracker Loverboy vs Cameo Loverboy vs Remix Lo (96,375) (96,383) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Oh good Lord. You know too much. (Wednesday 21 October 2020; 11:34)

Re: Firecracker Loverboy vs Cameo Loverboy vs Remix Lo (96,360) (96,373) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Ha. That took me a while to figure out. Warner’s stupidity must have rubbed off on me. Your google skills know no bounds, do they? Ahh Wales. I went there once by accident when I missed a turn off for Chester. Pretty. (Tuesday 20 October 2020; 22:15)

Re: Firecracker Loverboy vs Cameo Loverboy vs Remix Lo (96,352) (96,355) by Todd from Sydney, Australia I'm with you on this one, England. The Firecracker one craps all over the Cameo one. (Monday 19 October 2020; 21:27)

Re: Trash (96,068) (96,070) by Todd from Sydney, Australia This is an interesting debate. My opinion is that it's not necessarily disrespectful, but more annoying. Mariah loves Aretha the way that we love Mariah. Imagine for a moment that we were invited to sing on stage with Mariah, and then Christina Aguilera or Leona Lewis is also there, and starts singing over the top of Mariah and "showing off". The audience would probably be like "oooh damn saaaang", but we, being the mega fans like Mariah was that night, would look at her and think "oh bitch please, take a seat". I've had a bottle of NZ Sauvignon Blanc so maybe this makes more sense in my head. (Saturday 10 October 2020; 02:49)

Re: Memoir MIAs (95,990) (95,992) by Todd from Sydney, Australia I think she dodged a bullet there, he's in the news in Australia at the moment for his involvement/knowledge of money laundering and criminal activity at his Australian casinos. (Tuesday 6 October 2020; 09:58)

The Meaning of Mariah Carey (95,952) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Interesting to read the different opinions here. For me, I thought it was incredibly well written. And to be honest, I was still interested in the music, but not so much the person as of late - however reading this has completely changed that. As stupid as this sounds, I really feel like I know her more now, and the connection that I used to feel to her (similarly to Andrew, MC literally saved my life in the late 90's), has been restored. (Sunday 4 October 2020; 13:47)

Loverboy v.1 (95,934) by Todd from Sydney, Australia I really like the Firecracker version of Loverboy. It continues the first single vibes that Dreamlover, Fantasy, Honey and Heartbreaker started. I never really liked the Candy version, as it sounded disjointed, and she sounded like she had a cold. But this one - I now understand why she was so pissed off. Would it have saved the movie? No, nothing would but the soundtrack might have had a fighting chance. I really like all The Rarities songs with exception to "I Pray". I like her gospel tinged songs, but this one sounds like being smacked over the head with a bible. (Saturday 3 October 2020; 13:50)

Out Here On My Own (95,609) by Todd from Sydney, Australia I must have listened to this at least 50 times. It has always been one of my favourite songs, but the way Mariah does it - it's utterly spellbinding. Good work MC. (Friday 18 September 2020; 11:52)

Re: Every song (95,554) (95,561) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Now now Andypants, some of the '10s are OK. MIAMTEC I quite enjoy. It will be, however, the first time I listen to every song on Caution I think. You know, the "cohesive body of work" album. (Wednesday 16 September 2020; 06:48)

Re: Save the Day (95,525) (95,529) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Ooooh the comparison to I Don't is a bit rough innit? That was a visual assault. (Sunday 13 September 2020; 08:42)
