About Billy from Greece: I don't know, and neither do you.

Help (76,905) by Billy from Greece Does anyone remember any interviews where Mariah said that she thought that being famous would validate her existence? Thanks. (Wednesday 5 July 2017; 18:03)

Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse (76,808) by Billy from Greece By far one of Mariah's most satisfying bodies of work to date, easily in the top 5 of her catalogue. I still can't understand how a lot of fans, especially oldschool enthusiasts, do not appreciate the record. (Saturday 1 July 2017; 20:33)

Re: Magazine scan help... I have one (76,769) (76,777) by Billy from Greece Dear Gabe, thank you so much. I've sent you my email on instagram. (Friday 30 June 2017; 02:20)

Re: Scans of magazines - help (76,747) (76,754) by Billy from Greece Hi Bill. I am aware of Mariah Network, but they have transcriptions of the articles, not the actual scans, which is what I'm after because I need details like pages, date of publication, publisher etc. for bibliographical purposes. Thank you though. (Thursday 29 June 2017; 10:04)

Scans of magazines - help (76,744) by Billy from Greece Does anyone have scans from Mariah's 2005 cover stories from America magazine and Essence? I can't find them on we.archive.org. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 18:09)

Help - interview info (76,742) by Billy from Greece Does anyone know if the full interview Mariah did with John Norris in 2006 prior to the Adventures of Mimi on MTV's LOGO is still available online? There is a small excerpt on YouTube but I'm looking for more clips. Alternatively, where could I find some more "technical" info on the interview (e.g. date that aired, etc)? Thanks.

"Fourth of July" - unheard vocals (76,739) by Billy from Greece I just died and went to heaven. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 16:34)

MC hosts the NAACP (1999) (76,279) by Billy from Greece That's a rare one. Gorgeous, confident Mariah at her best. (Tuesday 13 June 2017; 18:21)

Aretha - "Hero" (75,365) by Billy from Greece I'm surprised that this has not been discussed more extensively, i.e., Aretha performing Hero around the time it came out. What a shock and honor must have been to young Mariah to have her idol singing a song she wrote. And obviously, Aretha must have been listening to Mariah to decide to cover the song. (Friday 19 May 2017; 15:16)

Sweet Sweet Fantasy - Oslo (75,245) by Billy from Greece Videos of amazing quality and clarity. Mariah is gorgeous, stunning and sounds amazing. Thank God there is this footage available online. And it is recent. I can barely separate "classic" Mariah from this. (Monday 15 May 2017; 10:51)

Never Forget You (Radio Edit) (75,083) by Billy from Greece Thoughts on the remix of this song? (Tuesday 9 May 2017; 01:00)

B-sides and rareties CD (ebay) (74,872) by Billy from Greece Would anyone consider buying this unofficial release? I bought the Russian greatest hits package earlier this year and I have to say the sound quality sucked. I didn't know that was also unofficial. (Sunday 30 April 2017; 19:49)

1999 interview (74,505) by Billy from Greece Short clip from the 1999 Pavarotti concert. Gorgeous, eloquent Mariah backstage. (Friday 14 April 2017; 17:26)

1998 interview (74,224) by Billy from Greece Gorgeous, eloquent, candid Mariah in this interview. I can't get my head around how gorgeous she is here. Just look at her eyes, her smile. What a beauty. (Friday 7 April 2017; 01:36)

Re: Vision of Love / Butterfly tour (74,059) (74,067) by Billy from Greece I'm referring to the Sydney one. (Friday 31 March 2017; 16:03)

Vision of Love / Butterfly tour (74,059) by Billy from Greece A very impressive performance, which also bridges Daydream with Butterfly. (Friday 31 March 2017; 00:51)

Make It Happen remix / sample (73,968) by Billy from Greece First of all, happy birthday to MC. Yay, hooray, happy anniversary, big hair, short shirts, whatever. On a sidenote, you can check the following 1980s R&B lbanger and possibly discern the foundation of the super hot tamale remix of Make It Happen. (Monday 27 March 2017; 01:40)

Poke & Tone (The Trackmasters) (73,686) by Billy from Greece If only MC would work with them again. I don't just adore the two tracks they've done with Mariah, but also all of the other productions they have done. They also produced a good chunk of Allure's first album back in the day, from Mariah's Crave label, remember? Such a timeless and mellow R&B vibe. (Thursday 16 March 2017; 11:18)

"One Sweet Day (Chucky's Remix)" (73,432) by Billy from Greece Am I the only one who prefers this remix over the album version? The intro and alternate, more subdued vocals in the first chorus and verse make this version significantly more appealing to me, not to mention the more R&B-leaning beat. (Wednesday 8 March 2017; 00:43)

Help Me Make It Through The Night (73,329) by Billy from Greece Some trivia: Gladys Knight has also sang this song. (Friday 3 March 2017; 19:34)

Re: The stolen idea (73,152) (73,168) by Billy from Greece Hi Mimi. Do you have some more information that indicate towards this direction? (Sunday 26 February 2017; 22:45)

One More Try - Dubai (73,116) by Billy from Greece I'm done. It was impeccable, even better than the studio version. Wish it lasted longer. (Friday 24 February 2017; 21:23)

Michael Jackson (73,063) by Billy from Greece This is totally irrelevant but since the issue of lip-syncing keeps coming up on this board every now and then, I'm wondering how come in the case of Michael Jackson, who from the 1990s onwards was lip-syncing ninety percent of his shows, it was never an issue. Sure, he was a dancer as much as he was a singer, but you get my point. (Thursday 23 February 2017; 14:21)

Nose (73,060) by Billy from Greece I've been wondering for a while whether MC has had a nose job. Sometimes, it looks just as it's always been so we can assume it is make-up and camera angles that makes it look different, or just the way her face has changed over the years. Some other times, though, it looks significantly thinner and smaller. Not that it matters, but occasionally it confuses me. If she's had one, she probably had it before the Charmbracelet era kicked in judging from the photos available. I don't know. (Thursday 23 February 2017; 12:57)

Videos (73,058) by Billy from Greece I wish she would work with Diane Martel and Sanaa Hamri again. They directed or co-directed some of her best videos. (Thursday 23 February 2017; 12:43)
