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

Re: Everything Fades to MCA (93,150) (93,154) by Bill from the UK Plus let's not forget my prayer for the St John the Divine concert to be released came true. (Tuesday 3 March 2020; 18:55)

Re: Rainbow interlude (93,140) (93,142) by Bill from the UK Lol, no I just always call the song that now haha. Thanks for sharing the clip, I never knew she did that. Agree TGIFY was dreadful. (Monday 2 March 2020; 20:37)

Re: Rainbow interlude (93,134) (93,137) by Bill from the UK Agree. It would have been good had she done so during the #1 to Crapfinity residency, before she sung Thank God I Found You. As that song was just the chorus, it would have been good to flesh it out with the Rainbow interlude, which led onto TGIFY on the album. (Monday 2 March 2020; 13:09)

Re: Evergreens (93,109) (93,116) by Bill from the UK Some minor corrections. Endless Love reached #3 and Heartbreaker #5. But yes, she generally did better with other people's material than her own. (Sunday 1 March 2020; 14:59)

Re: Everything Fades Away (93,106) (93,111) by Bill from the UK Bruno bloody Mars. (Sunday 1 March 2020; 08:43)

Re: Everything Fades Away (93,106) (93,110) by Bill from the UK She re-recorded AIWFCIY for MCIIY, Hero for The Ballads, and Can't Let Go for Can't Say No. (Sunday 1 March 2020; 06:55)

Re: Evergreens (93,098) (93,099) by Bill from the UK It's a different story in the UK. At best, adult contemporary stations will play Hero, I'll Be There and Without You. Maybe Endless Love every five years. That's it. Then AIWFCIY gets played everywhere all December long. So I guess it balances out. (Saturday 29 February 2020; 20:18)

Re: Anyone else listen to E=MC2 more than TEOM? (93,081) (93,096) by Bill from the UK So, listening to the album now due to the talk about it, and I've remembered why I don't play it that much. JD. Never. Shuts. Up. (Saturday 29 February 2020; 17:59)

Re: Anyone else listen to E=MC2 more than TEOM? (93,093) (93,095) by Bill from the UK Haha. I think it's the usage of the word "Chick". But I'm That Chick(en Leg) is a great re-title. Up there with Crapfinity. I'm a big MJ fan as well, so on paper it should work, but the weak lyrics, silly title and general embarrassment of it all is what causes me to dive for the skip button when it comes on. I think I made a playlist that axed it and replaced it with Heat and it flows much better. (Saturday 29 February 2020; 17:31)

Re: Anyone else listen to E=MC2 more than TEOM? (93,081) (93,089) by Bill from the UK You know it's never been a go to album for me, but every time I do listen to it, I love every song. Except I'm That Chick, obviously. (Saturday 29 February 2020; 12:22)

Re: Emotions Daydream Tour (undubbed) (93,077) (93,087) by Bill from the UK Beautiful. There was never a need for her to ever dub her performances from the 90s. (Saturday 29 February 2020; 10:15)

Re: Slipping Away on IG (93,063) (93,064) by Bill from the UK Um. (Wednesday 26 February 2020; 18:48)

Re: Dreamlover (93,060) (93,062) by Bill from the UK Yes, in Mariah's "Her Story" biography by Chris Nickson, it goes into some detail around Dreamlover and the original sessions and Walter wading it to make it more suitable for top 40 radio and give it that Summery bounce it has. Both iterations are good, but I have to give WA credit (I know we don't like doing that here ever since emblazonedgate). He did a great job of taking that song to another level and really lifting it up. (Wednesday 26 February 2020; 13:32)

Re: Slipping Away on IG (93,055) (93,061) by Bill from the UK They're logged in my Excel workbook of life. I log every single film, book, TV series, album etc. that I watch and listen to and rate them accordingly. I need help I know. PS I was at the Daydream concert in London. (Wednesday 26 February 2020; 05:53)

Re: Dreamlover (93,053) (93,054) by Bill from the UK Yes but Walter produced it and was specifically bought in to give it the gloss and much needed sheen the original was lacking. (Tuesday 25 February 2020; 18:40)

Re: Slipping Away on IG (93,040) (93,051) by Bill from the UK I heard the Bam Jam Soul version was from the original mixing session (along with the Club Joint Mix), and that was what Dreamlover was originally conceived as. It didn't fit with the album and was a standalone track, so Walter came in to turn it into what we know now. (Tuesday 25 February 2020; 15:41)

Re: Slipping Away on IG (93,033) (93,045) by Bill from the UK Funny you should say that. I don't think I've ever mentioned it but I was at London Wembley Arena in 1996 and it was one of my top ten best days of my entire life. (Tuesday 25 February 2020; 06:56)

Re: #Beautiful should have been the 19th (93,038) (93,044) by Bill from the UK I think it was the lack of a bridge or key change. It started off great but was then just the same line over and over until the end, like they have up halfway. (Tuesday 25 February 2020; 06:55)

Re: #Beautiful should have been the 19th (93,027) (93,029) by Bill from the UK That's not how you spell Migrate. (Monday 24 February 2020; 17:11)

Re: Question please help (93,015) (93,020) by Bill from the UK Yes, it was Crybaby. Sony didn't want to go with another ballad after Thank God I Found You and Against All Odds. They relented somewhat and released a double-a side single, but then (according to Mariah) didn't promote it. It's odd because CTTA was much more in the vein of Classic Mariah than Crybaby, so you would have thought it would have been the other way round. (Monday 24 February 2020; 08:28)

Re: Slipping Away on IG (93,009) (93,019) by Bill from the UK Very nice. The justice for Slipping Away hashtag. I hope this means it will appear on the 25th anniversary edition of the Daydream album, along with one of the European tour dates on DVD. Europe was always way better than the Tokyo dates in my opinion. (Monday 24 February 2020; 07:03)

Re: Non-single favourites (92,989) (92,998) by Bill from the UK Not only is mine not a single, it's not even an album track. Do You Think of Me is one of the most beautiful songs she has ever written. We have all been there and thought those thoughts. Unrequited love is one of the hardest things we go through in this world. (Saturday 22 February 2020; 23:11)

Re: A joke (92,983) (92,986) by Bill from the UK Well said. (Saturday 22 February 2020; 10:25)

Re: Alcohol (92,964) (92,965) by Bill from the UK Indeed. The thing that annoyed me the most was when she was awarded for her performance in Precious. After all the ridicule for Glitter, she was taken seriously by the industry for her supporting role in the film, and what did she do? Give a drink acceptance speech. It was embarrassing, disrespectful, and it is this people will remember, not her acting. (Thursday 20 February 2020; 18:31)
