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

Re: A list, for Bill (95,562) (95,565) by Bill from the UK Actually reading my list, Loverboy was another good "back of car" video now I think of it. (Wednesday 16 September 2020; 18:07)

Re: Tokyo Dome concert (95,551) (95,552) by Bill from the UK Far be for me to rain on the parade, but the Tokyo Dome concert is pretty much the album versions of the songs lowered a couple of semitones and lip synced. Without You, Forever, Always Be My Baby, One Sweet Day etc. This is why I would have rather one of the European legs be released on audio instead. But beggars can't be choosers as they say.

Re: Bill, in the backseat (95,549) (95,550) by Bill from the UK Okay yes you're right. How could I forget about The Roof. It is quite possibly her best ever video in fact. I stand corrected. (Tuesday 15 September 2020; 13:47)

TMOM unboxing (95,547) by Bill from the UK Mariah has uploaded a video of her unboxing the memoir. Love the back image and wish that had been the front picture. (Tuesday 15 September 2020; 00:37)

Re: Through The Rain cover (95,532) (95,536) by Bill from the UK This is almost as terrible as the So So Def Remix of Say Somethin'. Anyone know who was featured on that? (Sunday 13 September 2020; 17:07)

Here We Go Around Again (95,530) by Bill from the UK For those who don't mind being spoiled ahead of the album release, MC posted a longer clip of Here We Go Around Again on Insta. Honestly, hearing fresh 1990/debut era vocals is just astounding. From what I've heard this song sounds so, so good. (Sunday 13 September 2020; 08:56)

Re: Save the Day (95,525) (95,528) by Bill from the UK The only backseat of car video worth watching is Emotions. (Sunday 13 September 2020; 07:51)

Re: The Rarities tracklist (95,522) (95,523) by Bill from the UK My sentiments exactly. What bright spark at Sony selected the album versions of Breakdown and Sweetheart when perfectly the good Mo Thugs and Story remixes were available is beyond me. And Crybaby should have been kicked off for I Still Believe/Pure Imagination. But who am I? (Saturday 12 September 2020; 20:08)

Re: Glitter (95,509) (95,518) by Bill from the UK I was thinking the same. My theory is when she recently acquired the rights, maybe it was for digital/streaming only? Maybe she didn't obtain the rights to distribute a physical version? It's a shame because a bright pink double vinyl for Glitter would have ruled haha. (Saturday 12 September 2020; 15:06)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey reveals the tracklist of "The Rarities" (95,499) (95,504) by Bill from the UK It's on her Insta, so it is. Fire the proof reader I guess. I noticed all that too and things like that really, really get to me. (Friday 11 September 2020; 20:01)

Best introspective song (95,503) by Bill from the UK Since very early on, Mariah has often graced her albums with beautifully poignant, introspective songs. Often sung softly and delicately. The Wind, Looking In, Petals, Sunflowers, Languishing, Camouflage, and Portrait. I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting (finishing the rest of that bottle of wine from my previous post). Have you a favourite? I was listening to Portrait today and the opening really struck me. Where do I go from here? How do I disappear? These lyrics are heartbreaking. For me, I take it to be a reflection on the embarrassment of The Nightmare Era and Mariah's World and Packer and all that nonsense that was going on back then. Imagine being Mariah. Never having any privacy. Having everything you do scrutinised. Your relationships documented in news articles. How do I disappear? She never will. This is what is so upsetting about this song. (Friday 11 September 2020; 18:44)

How interesting (95,494) by Bill from the UK I went back to an article posted in 2013 with the tracklisting of "The Art of Letting Go" (original iteration of Me I Am Mariah). How interesting to see Save the Day as the final track. Tracks 1-4 ended up on MIAM, she's mentioned Hope Street in interviews. I'm dubious about the other tracks listed, especially the duet with Stevie produced by Walter. I doubt that ever happened. Why would you shelve a duet with Stevie (when he contributed harmonica to Make It Look Good)? And no way would she have let Walter near the track to produce it. But it is interesting how much of this rumoured tracklisting ended up being genuine. (Friday 11 September 2020; 15:13)

Harumph (95,491) by Bill from the UK I was a bit perturbed to not be greeted with some Rainbow era EPs this morning. I know Mariah went nuclear this week with the vinyl re-issues, so I guess that was this week's gift for us (well, £500 expense lol). Plus Heartbreaker, Thank God I Found You and Mariah's Theme already have remix singles available to stream (in the UK at least), so I guess it doesn't really matter. But it does. (Friday 11 September 2020; 13:12)

Re: Negative Nancy (95,484) (95,490) by Bill from the UK The only previously available tracks are Do You Think of Me, Everything Fades Away and Slipping Away. Literally everything else is new or unreleased before on the first disc. (Friday 11 September 2020; 11:38)

Re: Snippets new album (95,473) (95,476) by Bill from the UK Here We Go Around Again has my heart. Those 9 seconds are just out of this world. 1990 Mariah. I mean good God. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 22:22)

Everything Fades Away (95,474) by Bill from the UK Listening to this song, half a bottle of wine down. How people can't acknowledge this as the perfect, true ending to Music Box is baffling. This song is incredible and heart wrenching and beautiful. It is one of the best things she has ever done. I implore the US fans to make a Music Box playlist with this as the closing track once it is available on streaming platforms on 2nd October. It is just the most perfect end to what is a great, great album. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 22:00)

Re: The Rarities tracklist (95,467) (95,469) by Bill from the UK Me too. I'm praying the end of the celebrations concludes with the debut album remastered, with the "original" album that you mention, and the demo versions/Tommy demo tape. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 14:45)

Re: The Rarities tracklist (95,441) (95,445) by Bill from the UK Close My Eyes is an acoustic version. I wonder if it's the version she performed on GMA. To be getting unused tracks from Emotions, Music Box and Daydream eras is unreal. (Wednesday 9 September 2020; 15:53)

Vinyl re-issues (95,443) by Bill from the UK Wow. Did not see that coming. And I best get saving, all those vinyls will clock in at around £500 plus shipping. Good heavens. (Wednesday 9 September 2020; 14:47)

Book parts (95,425) by Bill from the UK Mariah's book is in four parts: Wayward Child, Sing Sing, All That Glitters and Emancipation. (Monday 7 September 2020; 09:10)

Re: Everything Fades Away (95,417) (95,422) by Bill from the UK It's Corey Rooney isn't it? (Sunday 6 September 2020; 21:29)

Rainbow Era Remix EPs (95,397) by Bill from the UK Here are my hopes for the Rainbow EPs. Let's cross our fingers and toes that we get the complete set with nothing missed... though by recent trends there are likely to be some disappointments. Heartbreaker Radio Edit (often misprinted as "Album Version featuring Jay. Z", it has a shorter break between verses and axes one of the final choruses) Remix Remix Edit [P] (only available on a few promo CDs, this version cuts out the introduction) No Rap Version Junior's Club Mix Junior's Club Dub Junior's Hard Mix Love Hangover/Heartbreaker I think these were probably the last "great" remixes Mariah ever did. The Junior Vasquez "If You Should Ever Be Lonely" mixes were inspired, and remain a work out staple to this day. I will eat my hat if the Remix Edit appears. Thank God I Found You Make It Last Remix Make It Last Remix w/o Rap Make It Last Remix Instrumental Make It Last Remix Edit Make It Last Remix Edit w/o Rap Stargate Radio Edit Celebratory Mix I'd be interested to see if the Make It Last edits (both with and without rap) appear as Mariah seems to not be including edits of the mixes. I loved the Stargate Radio Edit, I think it's the best version. Sidenote: really hope they use the "twisty top" cover and not the "hat with braids" cover. Against All Odds Single Version (a.k.a. Westlife Version) Pound Boys Radio Edit Pound Boys Main Mix Pound Boys Deep Dub [P] Pound Boys Dub Backing Track [P] Instrumental The "Backing Track" appeared on a very rare Brazilian promo CD (899.929/2-495879), so it is unlikely this will appear. Not expecting the Instrumental to make it either. The Pound Boy mixes were on that rare Brazilian promo CD as well, but were more easily obtainable on the UK vinyl release. The Westlife version is a bit of car crash so wouldn't mind this not appearing and it remaining a Mariah only affair. Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme) Radio Edit Morales Club Mix Edit Morales Club Mix Morales Instrumental Morales Revival Triumphant Mix Morales Revival Club Mix* [P] Some good Morales remixes here, especially hopeful that the Revival Club Mix appears as it has only ever been available on a French promo-only 12" up until now. Crybaby Radio Edit [P] I doubt this will appear, unless it is "double-a sided" with CTTA, like upon its release. A shame as this is a promo-only edit we probably won't see again.

Re: Do You Know... Bonita (95,388) (95,396) by Bill from the UK I love this description, I know exactly what you mean. Something about it. That's why they have long been favourites of mine. (Friday 4 September 2020; 22:50)

Re: Sweetheart non Rap (95,392) (95,395) by Bill from the UK The strings are the best part about Honey. The give it that "James Bond" feel. Agree, the remix really suffers without them and it would have probably been the perfect version of the song had they been included. (Friday 4 September 2020; 22:49)
