Re: (82,267) (82,272) by Dennis from Miami, FL That's so Elton John to me. Like one of his 70's album titles. Even "The Butterfly Returns" reminds me of the "The captain and the kid" - sequel to his Captain Fantastic album. (Wednesday 2 May 2018; 02:35)

Album? What album? (82,271) by Randy from USA How is she readying a different Vegas show and planning to tour Southeast Asia at a time she's supposed to be dropping an album. I get that albums don't sell and tours do, but I was of the impression that MC was worth half a billion dollars and didn't need to be concerned about money. She clearly loves being near her fans but hates singing live so why the hunger for money?Remember when Stella said her main job was to make Mariah money? What is this all about? I want MC to be a recording artist and drop music she's inspired by, not concerts where she lips half and doesn't move without someone holding her hand because she can't walk in heels.

Re: (82,266) (82,270) by Dove from United States I love that idea Bill. (Wednesday 2 May 2018; 01:00)

Re: The Butterfly lands (82,266) (82,269) by Atwood from NY "Our iconic chanteuse, Mariah Carey, just announced her new headlining residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, aptly named, The Butterfly Returns. This new show will spotlight a more intimate performance on The Colosseum's stage, showcasing Mariah's world famous vocals as she performs selections from her extensive catalogue of music. Fans can enjoy these live shows in July, August and September." I don't think this has anything to do with her #1's show. (Wednesday 2 May 2018; 00:21)

The Soundtrack of My Life (82,268) by Dove from United States MusicfanJ - I doubt she would do a whole album full of new covers but it would be amazing if she did. I would be thankful with one or two new covers too. Edward - that's way too long and way too cheesy, even for me. (Wednesday 2 May 2018; 00:19)

Re: (82,263) (82,267) by Edward from USA That's such an epic title, but I would suggest: "The Soundtrack Of My Life and The Butterfly Fluttering Full of Joy In Search of Honey". What do you think? (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 21:34)

Re: The Butterfly lands (82,262) (82,266) by Bill from the UK What I'd love from this Vegas tour is rather than Mariah hocking her old hits for the 100th time, is for her to sing the Butterfly album end to end. Can you imagine how great that would be for the fans? It could be in celebration of what she considers her best piece of work's anniversary. It was lauded by critics and fans and I don't think she ever really topped it. She could pepper it with some alternative versions like the Stay Awhile remix of My All and then hoist Da Brat out for the Honey remix. Helicopter, stilettos, and jet ski in tow.

Re: (82,263) (82,265) by MusicfanJ from Germany Dovie I love your idea with "the soundtrack of my life". Mariah is so great in covering songs and making them her own. A whole cd for the fans. But I also would be happy with one or two new covers by her. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 20:32)

Re: The Butterfly lands (82,262) (82,264) by Dove from United States I agree. One more planned era that is awesome and stands alone, and then focus on her legacy. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 19:04)

Re: (82,261) (82,263) by Dove from United States It would be called "The Soundtrack of My Life". (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 18:41)

The Butterfly lands (82,262) by T from USA I like the title "returns" for a lead up to the album to remind people of Mariah at her best. It also goes with the #1's theme because that was all around the same era 97/98. What I don't think would be a good idea is carrying it over to a new era with a new album. Ever since Memoirs she's been recreating past looks and trying to get off past success. I think she does have one more fresh new era with no ties to the past but a look to the future in her. At least I hope. I think maybe after one more well planned era then she should work on her legacy and past hits. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 18:35)

(82,261) by Dove from United States It would be neat if Mariah made an album covering songs that have been important to her in her life. In-between studio albums. For example a song her dad used to listen to when she was little, or a song she used to sing with her mom, the one that was her "song" with her first love, a song that was popular when she first moved out on her own, or the song she danced to at her wedding, etc. It may be cheesy but I love a cheesefest.

The Butterfly Returns / Vegas (82,260) by CMC from NY,NY I'm excited for the return to Vegas and back at Ceasers Palace instead of a smaller venue. I hope it is new material and not just mostly number ones, mixed with a few other past singles. She needs to do more album cuts and songs like, The Roof, Close My Eyes, Faded, it's usually 90% fans attending the Vegas shows so why not please them. Mostly looking forward to the new music though, a fresh sound, with some party anthems, if she goes dark, do it in the way she did Side Effects, with a hard beat, and she tells a her story and paints the whole picture. Honestly I'm not feeling The Butterfly Returns as an album title at all, it's way too redundant and not in any way fresh or new. She's done the whole butterfly image for years now. It's time for something new, she can still blossom and emerge from her cocoon without referencing a Butterfly again or trying to relive the past for her new project. I'm feeling a one word title. Something totally fresh. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 17:39)

New album (82,259) by Dav from Ireland The new album is either in the next couple of weeks or months, if not it will have to be next year. As she's touring most of the summer into November, then into the Christmas shows, it must be soon. I need it. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 15:50)

Re: Ruben sings Luther (82,249) (82,258) by Mara from United States Thank you Deedre and Licia. It really was a great time and you are right, nobody out there does Luther like Ruben. There was a singer by the name of Abraham McDonald who won Oprah's Karaoke challenge years ago and he was incredible too. Sadly, he passed away this year. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 15:30)

Re: Surprise release EP (82,255) (82,257) by enwar00 from usa Just to be clear my post was a joke, I don't have any sources and was just playing around with what I think would be a cool idea. I suppose it could happen though. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 14:22)

Re: "Sprung" / "Secret Love" (82,254) (82,256) by Billy from Greece Hi Enwar. I appreciate the feedback. I love love the old-school vibe of the "Mimi" sessions and of that era in general. Even more so the actual old-school 1970s records. Also, great news about you coming to Greece. Do let me know. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 10:58)

Surprise release EP (82,255) by enwar00 from usa My sources have informed me that The Butterfly Returns will drop as a surprise release within the next couple months before Vegas. It will only be an EP length, no 12 or 14 tracks this time. All killer no filler. Shh... don't tell anyone. Let's keep it to this board please. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 08:05)

Re: "Sprung" / "Secret Love" (82,204) (82,254) by enwar00 from usa Hey Billy, hope you're doing well. I was just listening to When I Feel It last week during one of my semi-regular Mariah mania binges and loved it. I'd only heard these songs in passing years ago, but I can say that's my fave of the 3 and one I'll continue to go back to. I love this clip because of the festive pic that goes with the song. Song def fits in with the whole old school vibe that was out during the early to mid 00s, as heard in songs by Mimi, Alicia Keys, Kanye West, just to name a few. Oh how I miss those days. Sprung is ok. Secret Love I don't like. Reminds me of the Bonecrusher remix of The One, which I am also not a big fan of. Btw there's a possibility I'll finally make it to Greece this year and if so I'll let you know. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 07:57)

Play about Martyn (82,253) by Bill from the UK Hi all, I saw this on the BBC this morning. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 07:40)

Re: The Polarity Tour (82,197) (82,252) by 90sMariah from SG Lol at the Polarity tour name. This is why I enjoy and love ya, Andrew. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 07:31)

Re: Article: Mariah returns to Las Vegas for The Butterfly Returns (82,242) (82,251) by Stacey from USA I agree. Now that's a great album title. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 05:25)

Confession (82,250) by Dove from United States I hadn't actually watched Mariah's World, I'd only watched clips of it. The clips I watched were cringeworthy. I was so excited for a new album today that I started watching the show, and it's actually good. People exaggerate. To me it's like an extended version of her Cribs episode. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 05:03)

Re: Ruben sings Luther (82,234) (82,249) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Luther is just amazing. I am so glad you had an wonderful time. He and Mariah together, it just doesn't get any better. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 04:36)

New promo pics (82,248) by Mara from United States This is exactly what we were asking for. Mariah simply posing with the retro microphone. Classy, elegant, iconic all splashed with simplicity. I am loving the glamourous look and pose minus the clunky diamon earrings and horrid necklace. The diamonds on her wrists are ok, but the too much over the top necklaces and earrings just age her. She looks amazing and so ready right now. Truly the butterfly is emerging once again from her cocoon. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 03:39)
