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

Re: AIWFCIY midweek update (91,542) (91,545) by Bill from the UK And hot off the press, now the end of week UK chart has been released and she has catapulted into the top ten and is now at number 8. (Friday 6 December 2019; 21:48)

AIWFCIY midweek update (91,542) by Bill from the UK On the UK singles chart, Mariah has risen from 39 to 17 in the midweek positioning. (Friday 6 December 2019; 17:25)

Re: Oh Santa (91,529) (91,530) by Bill from the UK Yeh but she promoted Crapfinity with Vision of Love and that still tanked (and rightly so). (Thursday 5 December 2019; 16:21)

Re: Bored as hell (91,524) (91,525) by Bill from the UK It's a cultural thing though. Japanese audiences are always very reserved. The Tokyo Done concert is great, but the European leg of the tour was a hundred times better. Hero in London is the best performance of that song she has ever given in her entire life. (Wednesday 4 December 2019; 22:22)

Re: AIWFCIY live at Tokyo Dome (91,514) (91,515) by Bill from the UK All Mariah's concerts were captured for posterity. If it was filmed then the film itself can easily be upgraded to HD quality. I was at the Daydream tour in London and they had tripods set up in front of the stage to film it, though no professional footage of that concert has ever emerged. (Wednesday 4 December 2019; 00:57)

Re: Laundry machine (91,507) (91,510) by Bill from the UK Lol at Webmaster. Savage. (Tuesday 3 December 2019; 17:10)

Re: Guinness World Records (91,462) (91,499) by Bill from the UK It's already her signature song. (Monday 2 December 2019; 17:57)

Re: Article: All I Want voted most annoying holiday song (91,497) (91,498) by Bill from the UK Indeed. My brother hates Mariah (more out of sibling necessity than anything) and always says he can't stand the song, yet I've seen him when he didn't know I was watching listening to the song with a smile on his face just like everybody else in the world does. (Monday 2 December 2019; 15:58)

Re: AIWFCIY is on 26 in the German charts (91,485) (91,487) by Bill from the UK Number 34 in the UK this week (up from 59 the previous week). I'm so excited. (Saturday 30 November 2019; 21:27)

Re: Mariah's Christmas concert performances (91,483) (91,484) by Bill from the UK Why you mad Licia? Hehe. Agree her vocals have been great from the clips I've seen. Maybe she finally loosened that damn corset. (Saturday 30 November 2019; 14:57)

Re: O Holy Night (91,477) (91,478) by Bill from the UK Agree, no one has ever sung it better and nobody ever will. Even my dad loves her rendition of it, and he can't stand her lol. I was playing it in the car when I was driving him home and he was like "I figured she'd sing this song well. She was made to sing songs like this" and I kind of agree with him. A voice like hers should be singing O Holy Night rather than "you're acting so corny like Fritos". We love life. (Thursday 28 November 2019; 23:39)

Re: O Holy Night (91,471) (91,474) by Bill from the UK I think because the studio version is absolutely perfect, anything else would seem inferior. (Wednesday 27 November 2019; 18:25)

Re: The Star live (91,457) (91,460) by Bill from the UK That's a great video and performance, love her interaction with her children at the end. It's so clear how much they all adore each other. (Monday 25 November 2019; 10:09)

Re: BOTH (91,456) (91,459) by Bill from the UK Completely agree, it is much better than the original, and I love the Jackson 5, but Mariah's voice, Trey, the fact it's live, and the atmosphere of the thing really do elevate it to a level that the original can't get to.

Re: Slipping Away (91,455) (91,458) by Bill from the UK Same here, but if you switch to landscape mode the link appears. On my phone at least (Google Pixel 3). (Monday 25 November 2019; 10:02)

Re: Slipping Away (91,451) (91,453) by Bill from the UK Check out this website's very own huge discography section to answer that question. Slipping Away was only ever put out as a B-side to the Always Be My Baby CD single in the US, and the Open Arms CD single in Australia. To the best of my knowledge it never appeared on any European releases of either single, which is massively unfair, nor did it appear on any vinyl releases. I remember knowing about the song during the early days of the Internet, and how I used to read the lyrics online and wonder what it sounded like. Then, in HMV one sunny Saturday afternoon, I saw the Australian import CD of Open Arms, with the blue filtered cover. I almost passed it by, thinking it would mirror the "blue version" of the UK CD single, but when I picked up the little card sleeve and turned it over in my hand, imagine my shock to see that it had Slipping Away and the Spanish version of Open Arms on it. My dirty mitts grabbed it off the shelf so fast, I was like lightning. My heart was pounding and I started to sweat, Had I fallen so deep in my daydreams that I was imagining it? I couldn't believe my luck. I ditched my friends and used the money I had for the cinema to buy the CD (import singles were about £8, which was really expensive back then), and ran all the way home and then listened to it all weekend. Still one of my faves to this day. (Sunday 24 November 2019; 10:59)

Re: BOTH (91,449) (91,452) by Bill from the UK Matty, you forgot the first and fairest of them all - I'll Be There. By far and away her best cover in my opinion. (Sunday 24 November 2019; 10:51)

Re: Last time MC belted (91,440) (91,442) by Bill from the UK Also MCIIY has many, many great belting moments. (Saturday 23 November 2019; 14:18)

Re: Last time MC belted (91,437) (91,440) by Bill from the UK No. Have you not heard Memoirs, specifically IWTKWLI? Me I Am Mariah also has several moments of belting throughout. Make It Look Good, Cry, Heavenly, YDKWTD etc. (Saturday 23 November 2019; 07:46)

Article: Mariah's rendition of classic Christmas tune still not old (91,388) by Bill from the UK "The season of giving has turned into the season of Mariah Carey, and it may have gone to her head. Carey re-released the 1994 Christmas album, now called 'Merry Christmas II You'. It includes several new covers, and a couple live tracks. It excludes 'Miss You Most at Christmas Time' and 'Jesus Born on This Day', which were the other two original pieces on the 1994 album." There is so much wrong with that paragraph I don't know what to do. (Monday 18 November 2019; 14:35)

Re: My predictions for 30 years in 2020 (91,378) (91,379) by Bill from the UK I'm all for the anniversary edition of the debut album, with the demo tape, wherever that may be. The 30th version should be issued alongside The First Vision and full Tattoo Club performance. I know Mariah hates all the videos from the first album but we love them so much, especially Someday. (Sunday 17 November 2019; 14:59)

Re: Pure sales (91,369) (91,375) by Bill from the UK The video was great, thanks for sharing it. I am a big data nerd so this was extremely satisfying to watch haha. (Sunday 17 November 2019; 00:54)

Re: Caution's anniversary (91,363) (91,367) by Bill from the UK Agree, Caution is a great album because it's different and fresh and I like how easy it is to listen to the whole thing end to end, due to the short length. No offence Licia but whenever I fancy listening to CB I have to book a day off work lol. We love everybody. (Saturday 16 November 2019; 10:17)

Re: More surprises (91,348) (91,350) by Bill from the UK I'm hoping for a Netflix stream of the whole St John the Divine concert. (Thursday 14 November 2019; 15:52)

Re: Merry Christmas 25 new IG post (91,341) (91,345) by Bill from the UK Start screaming Licia. Silent Night has just appeared. I squealed when I saw it on my YouTube. (Thursday 14 November 2019; 00:40)
