Article: Mariah Carey watches fan covers on YouTube (82,516) by Will from England I think this is so cute. Been wanting her to do something like this for a long time. Also, is it me, or does her speaking voice seem a bit richer? Noticed it during the "9 Things Mariah Carey Hasn't Done" video, but thought it was a one time thing. (Thursday 24 May 2018; 10:52)

Allure video (82,355) by Will from England Are we not going to talk about how great, funny and relaxed Mariah was? Ok. (Wednesday 9 May 2018; 10:09)

Article: Mariah returns to Las Vegas for The Butterfly Returns (82,242) by Will from England I love this. A great poke in the eye for Hella, who couldn't even get her back into Caesars Palace and only a hotel. There is a small part of me that is wishing that "The Butterfly Returns" is the new album title. Anyway, will be interesting to see if she does a different setlist. (Monday 30 April 2018; 22:44)

Re: (82,193) (82,198) by Will from England Once we begin having expectations of what kind of songs we want to hear, basing them on her back catalogue, then that's when I fear disappointment sets in when the album/single doesn't meet what we wish to hear. We ask her to move out her comfort zone, and work with new producers, yet ask for her to recreate her past songs. Can't have both. (Sunday 29 April 2018; 18:40)

Re: According to... (82,178) (82,192) by Will from England And here I was thinking that it was some very weird reference to Winnie The Pooh (Saturday 28 April 2018; 23:42)

Re: Stumbled on this (81,787) (81,794) by Will from England That's been out/leaked for a few years now. (Thursday 12 April 2018; 18:35)

People Magazine (81,772) by Will from England I'm so proud of Mariah. When I saw the post on Instagram, I gasped so loudly in class that many people asked what had happened. There aren't enough words to say how happy I am that she's revealed this side to her, that I think she would have taken to her grave if given the chance. The new team is building her confidence and letting her reveal so much about herself, that has been holding her back in so many ways. I also love how they styled her for this shoot: the simple black dress, no engagement ring in sight, her signature butterfly ring, and simple makeup. It's just perfect. Whatever Stella thought she had on Mariah, clearly underestimated her resilience and strength. This team is doing so well in repairing her image and career, and has made more progress in these few months, than everything she has been through since E=MC2. (Wednesday 11 April 2018; 23:32)

Re: Mariah's voice with new album (81,411) (81,417) by Will from England If she keeps the vocals on the tracks simple, then she can play with them when live and change it up that way. But I'm so excited for what she could be cooking up at the moment. (Saturday 17 March 2018; 19:23)

Re: Essential albums: Mariah Carey - #1 To Infinity (81,327) (81,330) by Will from England In the context of the original message, which was questioning why people say DL and HB sound similar, the melodic structure in the chorus is similar. Here's where she talks about the similarities. Honey doesn't fall under that category in terms of similarity to other songs. (Saturday 10 March 2018; 22:26)

Re: Essential albums: Mariah Carey - #1 To Infinity (81,316) (81,321) by Will from England Mariah herself talked about the comparisons. She even sang the two choruses for DL and HB side by side in an interview (don't know which one but it's on YouTube somewhere) and they do sound very similar. And she even said that they are similar, but only because she wrote both of them, therefore there would be a similar vein to them. As for the GOL, well, I don't know which versions they're listening to, but it's definitely not the same sample by any means. (Friday 9 March 2018; 21:54)

Re: Stripped versions of Mariah's gems (81,002) (81,004) by Will from England Mine's a cross of Petals, UTS, Close My Eyes and ISB. Honestly they're so good. (Saturday 17 February 2018; 22:38)

Re: New album title (80,470) (80,475) by Will from England I'd disagree about the charmbracelet thing. I'm sure I've seen her wear one in concert in the last couple of years. Whether or not it's the same one or not, I don't know. (Thursday 18 January 2018; 23:08)

Linner (80,291) by Will from England I love that she's tweeting herself now. You can see the massive difference between the team and Mariah tweeting. And yes for linner. (Sunday 7 January 2018; 09:51)

Setlist (80,117) by Will from England Ryan Seacrest has confirmed that Mariah will perform two songs, one of which will be Hero. I agree with The Real Deal, obscure album cuts aren't meant to be sung at major events. That's why she sticks with ABMB, Hero, WBT etc. for major, non-fan based events because she knows that people know them and will be invested in the performance, especially if it's a short one. With longer setlists, she can have a little more wiggle room to dive into the more unknown, fan-favourite songs. (Friday 29 December 2017; 19:48)

New Year's Eve take 2 (80,005) by Will from England So Mariah has just announced that she's performing New Year's Eve. I'm praying that it all goes smoothly this time, but so far, I have no reason to doubt this new team that it will go well. I really love how so far, they're essentially showing Stella how it's done, and how it's done right. Everything has been on point. If they're reading the messages, which I doubt, keep on doing what you're doing. (Saturday 23 December 2017; 00:35)

Article: What does Mariah think when she watches The Crown? (79,995) by Will from England What even is the point of this article? (Thursday 21 December 2017; 23:24)

Article: Fans upset by Mariah Carey's rescheduled tour dates (79,993) by Will from England They probably only cancelled and re-scheduled because, and correct me if I'm wrong, Stella was only able to book smaller venues. This new team know what they can do and can book her bigger and better venues. I'm loving this new team more and more. (Thursday 21 December 2017; 21:12)

Article: Bryan Tanaka can't keeps his hands off Mariah Carey (79,992) by Will from England I am loving this green dress. She should wear this shade of colour more often. (Thursday 21 December 2017; 21:05)

Social media / new team (79,860) by Will from England My, what a world of difference a new team has made in just a few short weeks. Everything that has been posted on her Instagram and InstaStory has been on point and focused. No more odd glamour or drunk shots. Just straight up promo for AIWFCIY and the tour. Her new stylist (and I do believe that there is one) is clothing her well and suitably, making her look like a legend. The staging for this tour is perfect, and I'm delighted to see that they've reinstated the screens. I did not go to this tour, primarily because of the lack of screens during the SSFT but I'm kicking myself now. The costumes are also appropriate: no more body suits. And she's got her first Golden Globe nomination under this team already. Go team go. (Thursday 14 December 2017; 01:12)

Re: TMZ (79,298) (79,318) by Will from England Probably because Stella whispered all the right things in Mariah's ear, she came with the recommendation of a friend and Mariah is too trusting, despite whatever she says of having her guard up. It's sad that Mariah has to learn this lesson the hard way. (Wednesday 8 November 2017; 22:34)

Re: I'm featured in Say Somethin' (So So Def Remix) (79,238) (79,252) by Will from England What? (Monday 6 November 2017; 17:51)

Re: Karl Lagerfeld dinner (78,991) (79,005) by Will from England Ok, I am so so happy to see this change in her. Recently, when it has come to lipping that climax, she has been doing it with no effort. Here, she's pulling expressions, she's actually making it look like she's singing live. And I love that. I really do hope this means that Stella and her coven has gone, and Mariah can be happy now. (Tuesday 24 October 2017; 20:31)

Sad love songs (78,846) by Will from England It's a pity that Mariah has so very few happy true love songs. Most of her catalogue is "sad love" songs, "wishing for love" songs, "beginnings of love" songs or "jilted love" songs. And to me, it's sad that she has never really let happiness into her writing. It's almost as if she needs sadness in her life, to be able to write deep personal songs. She's not written a true love song, from her own life experience yet. The only exceptions I've ever found are TGIFY and The Impossible but you could hardly call them her best work lyrically. All the other "happy" love songs have come from her imagination, of what she deems love to be like "Sent from up above", "Emotions" etc. What do you guys think? (Tuesday 17 October 2017; 00:01)

Re: Unforgettable (78,239) (78,248) by Will from England The one thing that is stopping me from fully liking it, is the echo/fade thing on the vocals. (Saturday 2 September 2017; 19:46)
