Re: Mariah approved spoilers (95,780) (95,785) by Bill from the UK I admire your willpower Eddie. I'm a spoiler whore though unfortunately and need to have everything immediately lol. (Saturday 26 September 2020; 21:49)

Rarities liner notes (95,783) by Bill from the UK I hope MC includes both the lyrics and a paragraph about each song as she did for #1 to Crapfinity. I'd love to know why these songs didn't make the cut for their corresponding albums and her thoughts behind them. (Saturday 26 September 2020; 21:26)

Mariah's new teaser (95,778) by Bill from the UK So MC's new teaser trailer for the release of The Rarities she's put up on Insta. She's clearly got HD versions of Emotions and Without You from TOTP. I wonder why these haven't been released yet to her YT channel? I love both performanced, especially Emotions as she was genuinely sick (not 1997 onwards sick) but took the whole song down an octave which was amazing. She did an interview with Lorraine Kelly the following day where she could barely even speak. One week what am I going to do? (Saturday 26 September 2020; 16:41)

Re: MC30 (95,747) (95,772) by Bill from the UK Thanks so much for the kind offer - my bro has text me his password now and I can view it on my iPod so I'm all set, but thanks very much for your message. (Saturday 26 September 2020; 12:22)

Re: Mariah approved spoilers (95,759) (95,769) by Bill from the UK I can't get enough of HWGAA. I am so excited for next week. I am climbing the walls here. And I heard a 10 second clip of Can You Hear Me and it sounds divine. Seems like it would have slotted into the Emotions album perfectly. What a week for us next week will be. What a treat Mariah is giving us with the book and the album arriving days apart. Lord this is too much, thank you thank you thank you. (Saturday 26 September 2020; 08:27)

Re: MC30 (95,745) (95,746) by Bill from the UK Yes there were remixes for Against All Odds, by Pound Boys. And not all remixes were released on those EPs already available to stream. (Friday 25 September 2020; 11:37)

Re: Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of all Time (95,743) (95,744) by Bill from the UK Rolling Stone lost all credibility for me when they ranked Mariah 49th in the 50 greatest singers. What the hell was that about. Morons. (Friday 25 September 2020; 10:20)

MC30 (95,742) by Bill from the UK So was the Oprah interview this week's MC30 gift? I won't be able to get to watch this until next week when my brother is back and I can borrow his account. Hopefully after the period of exclusivity MC will put it on her YouTube for all to enjoy. I've always been an Android man so have nothing to do with Apple and their services. Where are my Rainbow EPs lol. (Friday 25 September 2020; 08:10)

Re: Article: Mariah tells Oprah Winfrey why she wrote her memoir (95,728) (95,731) by Bill from the UK Agree MC looks amazing with Oprah. I am so jelly that Oprah has the book in her hands. Gimme gimme gimme. (Thursday 24 September 2020; 17:24)

Re: MadTv - Thinning camera (95,729) (95,730) by Bill from the UK Oh Ternip. It just wouldn't be the same here without you. (Thursday 24 September 2020; 17:23)

Re: Just days away (95,717) (95,724) by Bill from the UK Yes yes yes. I'm with you. I am about to explode. (Thursday 24 September 2020; 15:53)

Re: Chapters (95,715) (95,719) by Bill from the UK Yes that is a great album as well but I prefer the more piano based approached of the first three. FTCGH felt a bit overproduced (Raspberry Swirl being the main culprit). But Playboy Mommy is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. But back to Mariah and to address the call out made against me for Boy (I Need You). Firstly, that made me lol, and secondly, I wish I could say I do listen to it and like it, but I couldn't stand Cam'Ron's version when it came out and my heart sunk when I heard MC was basing her song off his. The high pitched cartoon Boy refrain, the over production, the whispery vocals, the 6 minute length, it's all so unnecessary. When she squeaking through the 9th chorus I'm like (caps) just end already (end caps). It's definitely grouped with Did I Do That, Crapfinity, Why You Mad, and Infamous. Whether it tops that chart though is another matter. I'm just so grateful none of the Nightmare Era songs made it onto any album. What a blemish in an otherwise great discography that would be. (Thursday 24 September 2020; 11:45)

Re: Chapters (95,700) (95,709) by Bill from the UK I really enjoyed the book. It was a bit overly political at times, but her stories of working the bar scene for years was great, and the meanings behind her songs was great. And the audio book was brilliant as she was a great narrator. As for my favourites, her first three albums are pretty much untouchable. I'd have to probably go with Under the Pink, as Pretty Good Year is my favourite song of hers. When it bursts into raging grunge for ten seconds, then dampers down again - it's extraordinarily moving. (Wednesday 23 September 2020; 16:19)

Re: Snippets (95,698) (95,705) by Bill from the UK Love the pic. Here We Go Around Again was the best for me. It sounded like I Want You Back by the Jackson 5. Mariah's heavenly 1990 voice. Just wow. (Wednesday 23 September 2020; 06:11)

Mariah vinyl in the UK (95,695) by Bill from the UK Hi gang. So you're aware, Amazon are selling Mariah's reissued vinyls in the UK, except for the coloured variants exclusive to the US retail stores of course. (Tuesday 22 September 2020; 19:14)

Re: Skip/repeat (95,691) (95,694) by Bill from the UK (spits wine out over screen) You skip Someday on Unplugged? Get out of my sight lol. Also clarification: I didn't put Boy as my CB skip song, as I genuinely forgot about it as it has been deleted and erased from all playlists and versions of CB I have uploaded to iTunes. (Tuesday 22 September 2020; 18:59)

Re: Chapters (95,687) (95,688) by Bill from the UK You jest, but the spread sheet is actually set up ready and waiting to be completed to track the differences. It will divide into chapters and then log the time stamps (audio) or page numbers (book) depending on where the variance is. This is why I booked next week off work lol. (Tuesday 22 September 2020; 14:42)

Re: MadTv - Thinning camera (95,676) (95,685) by Bill from the UK I'm a big fan of Mad TV and have watched this clip many times. Has absolutely nothing to do with, and no mention of, Mariah. It is funny though. (Tuesday 22 September 2020; 12:08)

Re: Chapters (95,681) (95,683) by Bill from the UK I will be turning the page as I listen to Mariah speak. I did it with Tori Amos' book and she had additions on the audio book not in the written book, and vice versa. I will collate any differences and report back. (Tuesday 22 September 2020; 12:01)

Chapters (95,679) by Bill from the UK MC revealed some chapter titles: Thanksgiving Is Cancelled There Can Be Miracles Calamity and Dog Hair Resting In Pieces One Summer Night, We Ran Away for a While This time next week it will be in our hands. (Tuesday 22 September 2020; 07:17)

Still Out Here On My Own (95,668) by Bill from the UK This song is all I have played since it was released. It has been on non-stop repeat. My poor neighbours. It's got a whole other level to it when it's 2am and you're on the last of a bottle of red. Thank you Mariah for this gift. (Monday 21 September 2020; 09:20)

Re: Out Here On My Own on repeat (95,653) (95,656) by Bill from the UK Even her voice breaking slightly on the last "help me" is so incredibly moving. And I'm glad she didn't use a high note, it doesn't even need it. The emotion in this song is overwhelming. I just can't believe this didn't make it onto Glitter but Want You did. It is honestly one of her best remakes and best songs. And to think, the album has unused songs from the debut, Emotions, Music Box and Daydream. Lord thank you. (Saturday 19 September 2020; 20:42)

On My Own lyric video (95,643) by Bill from the UK MC has uploaded a lyric video for Out Here On My Own on her YouTube channel. (Saturday 19 September 2020; 08:22)

Glitter 2.0 (95,634) by Bill from the UK Great to see the message board buzzing about "OHOMO" (lol). I made a new Glitter playlist. In short I axed Loverboy Remix, moved regular Loverboy to track 1, and had On My Own as the closing track. It flows great following after Twister and is a fantastic ending to the album. I'll likely switch out Loverboy with the Firecracker version when that arrives. I still can't believe this has not been out the vault until now. This has been the best MC30 Friday treat so far.
