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

Re: On a positive note (93,829) (93,839) by Bill from the UK Haha, well that's something. Last Kiss is the best song on E=MC2, I was so glad for the snippet she sang on IG. I wonder if she has anything planned for the debut's anniversary? It's right around the corner. (Wednesday 29 April 2020; 07:52)

Re: iTunes (93,812) (93,816) by Bill from the UK I would hope Charmbracelet is next to be shown some love. It came and went with a bit of a whimper, but there are some brilliant songs buried on that set. Lyrically, I rate it second to Butterfly. Vocally, I do appreciate the approach she took to the record, but I do have to be in the right mood for it. But tracks like Through the Rain, The One, My Saving Grace, Subtle Invitation, and I Only Wanted really shine. (Tuesday 28 April 2020; 17:57)

Re: This performance (93,785) (93,786) by Bill from the UK Great remake. I used to love that this was a "tour exclusive" in the early days. She should bring it back. (Sunday 26 April 2020; 14:05)

Re: Andrew - pic on point (93,773) (93,778) by Bill from the UK Haha Andrew you are something else lol. (Friday 24 April 2020; 23:39)

Re: Song of the day - Want You (93,768) (93,770) by Bill from the UK Hi Jade, always lovely to see you. You know I've never been a fan of Want You, but I'll give it a spin tonight for you. Hope you're safe and well. (Friday 24 April 2020; 19:56)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey shares kitchen selfie holding two kettles (93,760) (93,762) by Bill from the UK The point that is being made by others though, is she's tilting her head and it's not really that big a deal. Let's move on. (Friday 24 April 2020; 13:56)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey shares kitchen selfie holding two kettles (93,748) (93,751) by Bill from the UK Head over to Mariah Network, check out the gallery, pick the early years. Literally every photoshoot she ever did has her tilting her head back in at least one shot. Come on now, I know you're a harsh critic who cares deeply about her, but keep it to her music and career choices and not her appearance. If she's self conscious of her weight let's not pull her up on it. (Thursday 23 April 2020; 20:56)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey shares kitchen selfie holding two kettles (93,743) (93,747) by Bill from the UK Well I'd respectfully challenge that and say there are a plethora of pictures from the pre-divorce years (both first and second) where she is tilting her head. Meaning, when she was a lot younger and weight maintenance wasn't an issue like it is for us oldies. I think it's either how she was coaxed to pose back when she starting having professional photographs taken, or she genuinely believes she looks good. Who hasn't re-taken a selfie or begged a friend to delete a picture taken because you thought you looked awful? And when the rubber hits the road, she's tilting her head. I mean there are worse things she could do surely. (Thursday 23 April 2020; 18:53)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey shares kitchen selfie holding two kettles (93,741) (93,742) by Bill from the UK Yes I tend to agree. When a picture is taken of Mariah Carey, it's there forever. It's not like you and me where we can delete them or rip them up (for those of us that remember physical photographs). If the head tilt works then tilt that head beeyotch.

Re: Emotions album (93,731) (93,732) by Bill from the UK That version of To Be Around You was atrocious. (Wednesday 22 April 2020; 10:45)

Re: Emotions album (93,720) (93,724) by Bill from the UK Haha. Oh Licia. I was confident you'd "get" The Roof when you gave it another shot not that long ago, but alas, it wasn't to be. Would you try The Wind again? She sings it so softly and gently, and it's so moving and sad. I love the jazz vibe, and why she's never done anything like it since is beyond me. It's a real unique number in her catalogue. (Tuesday 21 April 2020; 19:15)

Re: Listening to Glitter (93,716) (93,718) by Bill from the UK The Loverboy video is one of my faves. I love the bright colours and the cars and the flags. All against the backdrop of that sapphire blue sky. It looks amazing. Each shot is a postcard. (Monday 20 April 2020; 22:32)

Re: Emotions album (93,715) (93,717) by Bill from the UK Hmmm. I suppose the C&C tracks haven't aged that well, as they were a victim of their early 90s production standards. The ballads however I think have never sounded so organic and spacious. They really open up and let Mariah's voice be front and centre, and create a wonderful atmospheric mood. Music Box is much more finely tuned, perhaps a bit too much. But we love all the albums. (Monday 20 April 2020; 17:41)

Re: Emotions album (93,703) (93,708) by Bill from the UK What makes you think I avoid Music Box? I love that album, and always will. Like many, it was my introduction to Mariah, and me purchasing that album on cassette in 1994 would change my life forevermore. (Sunday 19 April 2020; 13:46)

Re: Emotions album (93,700) (93,701) by Bill from the UK Emotions is so underrated. My favourite after Unplugged and Merry Christmas. Her vocals are astonishing and it houses the best ballads. So moving and atmospheric, especially the closers Till the End of Time and The Wind. I've never encountered a fan who doesn't love TTEOT. (Looks at Licia.) (Saturday 18 April 2020; 22:43)

Re: So Blessed best vocally (93,691) (93,693) by Bill from the UK Best soulful vocal: Anytime You Need A Friend Best power vocal: O Holy Night Best elastic vocal: Emotions Best whisper vocal: Lead the Way Best R&B vocal: Make It Look Good Best dance vocal: Dreamlover (Def Club Mix) Best live vocal: If It's Over at SNL Best duet vocal: Endless Love with Luther at Royal Albert Hall (Saturday 18 April 2020; 15:11)

Re: So Blessed best vocally (93,688) (93,689) by Bill from the UK Beautifully sung, I agree, but it's impossible to choose Mariah's overall best vocal performance. (Saturday 18 April 2020; 12:55)

Re: Most joyful, Never Forget You (93,673) (93,674) by Bill from the UK It's nice to sing to but I wouldn't say joyful, it's a very sad lyric, especially "I should have said I loved you, why didn't I just tell you?" That line resonates with me as I wish I had told someone I loved them before they died. (Friday 17 April 2020; 13:15)

Re: What songs have you been listening to? (93,664) (93,671) by Bill from the UK That is the best bit of the song, but I also extend that run to include the "no no no" build up she does in time with the best afterwards. The second best part is "I'll never leave you behiiiiii-iiiiiiiiiiiiii-iiiiaaaaeeeeiiiinnndddd". (Friday 17 April 2020; 08:14)

Re: What songs have you been listening to? (93,656) (93,661) by Bill from the UK Lately I can't stop playing Never Forget You. Her ad libs on the last choruses are amazing, and her voice blends perfectly with Babyface's. Very underrated song, one of the best from Music Box. (Thursday 16 April 2020; 23:09)

Re: New album title (93,650) (93,651) by Bill from the UK Joss Stone already used that title about twenty years ago. I always loved the rumoured E=MC2 title, "Sweet Soul Odyssey". (Thursday 16 April 2020; 15:00)

Re: Gold editions and tour (93,641) (93,644) by Bill from the UK Haha is that the same person as Jeremimi? I swear, I nearly died when I heard their rendition of Dreamlover. On the crescendo note at 3:36 it sounds like a bunch of cats haha. (Wednesday 15 April 2020; 23:32)

Re: Gold editions and tour (93,637) (93,643) by Bill from the UK And you know it's funny you mention European tours in your previous post. I actually was an attendee at the London leg of the Daydream tour. One of the best nights of my entire life. I've held my tongue far too long about attending, it's time everyone knew. The duration of the concert, it felt like I was dreaming. But I wasn't sleeping. (Wednesday 15 April 2020; 23:15)

Re: Gold editions and tour (93,637) (93,639) by Bill from the UK Haha, Right to Dream's inclusion was more to ensure at least 1 ticket sale in Randy's area. As for GTFO, sonically it is one of the best things she has ever done. Lyrically it is one of the worst. Unforgettable has the same sort of mood but with a better lyric in my opinion.
