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

Re: Underneath The Stars performance (81,680) (81,684) by Billy from Greece This is from the Daydream Tour, at Tokyo Dome, Japan. You can find it on YouTube. There is also an unofficial DVD of the entire concert (and most if not all is also available online). Here's the full performance. (Friday 6 April 2018; 10:40)

Re: Videos - product placements (81,648) (81,661) by Billy from Greece Thank you all for the feedback. (Tuesday 3 April 2018; 18:42)

Aeon commercial - 1998 (81,649) by Billy from Greece Some more help, if you might. Do you remember Mariah's 1998 Japanese commercial for Aeon back in 1998? She is so gorgeous and ethereal here. My question is about Aeon: in the video description, it is described as a "Japanese language school". Does anyone have any more info on that? I did google it and found some information but I was wondering whether anyone has had a more direct experience with that. Given the content of the ad, and what Mariah is saying here, it does verify that description. (Monday 2 April 2018; 21:35)

Videos - product placements (81,648) by Billy from Greece Can someone please point out the videos where Mariah has had product placement? I remember "Angels Cry" featured her perfumes, I think. I also can't remember which is the one that had her champagne. Was it the remix of "Obsessed"? (Monday 2 April 2018; 21:16)

Mariah on Jimmy Fallon 2013 (81,640) by Billy from Greece This has not been available online for a while, so in case anyone wants to see it, here it is. Though I was generally positive towards Jimmy Fallon, I certainly didn't appreciate the comment he made about Mariah last year at the Golden Globes. Final comment: Mariah looks totally gorgeous here. This is before #Beautiful, before the shoulder dislocation, before the divorce, before the nightmare era. I can't believe it's been five full years ago. (Sunday 1 April 2018; 22:32)

Re: Whitney talks Mariah comparison on Arsenio (81,623) (81,631) by Billy from Greece Hi there. It was not the Arsenio Hall show that you're referring to. Whitney was on the Byron Allen show when she made that comment. You can find it after the ninth minute. Hope this helps. (Saturday 31 March 2018; 23:24)

Happy anniversary (81,548) by Billy from Greece Much love to MC. (Tuesday 27 March 2018; 15:17)

"Rainbow" era (81,521) by Billy from Greece Just a reminder that the "Rainbow" era boasts some of Mariah's hottest remixes. While many feel that "Rainbow" is not her strongest work, she was really creative with the songs and samples she used, ultimately creating a fully enjoyable body of work. I'm living for a deluxe anniversary edition of "Rainbow" that will have the "Love Hangover" and "If You Should Ever Be Lonely" versions of "Heartbreaker", the "Make It Last Remix" of "TGIFY" and the "Triumphant Revival Mix" of "CTTA" all in one place. Mind you that all of these remixes have new vocals, so if you take them as a whole, the studio album plus these remixes, you have a truly satisfying album to cherish for days.

Re: Upcoming album (81,499) (81,502) by Billy from Greece "Behind the Groove" is sizzling banger. (Saturday 24 March 2018; 14:03)

Re: Upcoming album (81,492) (81,493) by Billy from Greece I absolutely love Teena Marie. Such a genius. I would love to hear MC take on one of her tracks, especially considering how loved Teena was by R&B enthusiasts. Right on the top of my head, I can more easily hear MC sing "Now That I Have You", which was co-produced by Richard Rudolph, Minnie Riperton's husband. "Yes, Indeed" would also be a great choice, or even "If I Were Bell". Teena Marie really has a flawless discography. (Friday 23 March 2018; 21:47)

Re: Clusters (81,424) (81,427) by Billy from Greece Interesting concept. One of my "clusters" (I guess the moodier one) is comprised of the following: "Alone In Love", "Sent From Up Above", "Do You Think of Me", "Long Ago", "The Roof", "I Still Believe (Stevie J. Remix)", "All My Life", "Lullaby", "For the Record", "HATEU", "Faded". (Monday 19 March 2018; 02:05)

"My All" (Divas Live) (81,383) by Billy from Greece Lately, I've been obsessed with Mariah on the first VH1 Divas live concert. The way she owns the stage with "My All" from the very first step she takes is monumental. Every breath she takes, every muscle she moves, every look she gives, everything is flawless here. Not to mention the resonance in the first chorus in the "cause I can't go on" part. Just shattering. Next month it will be twenty years since the show took place. (Wednesday 14 March 2018; 14:05)

Re: Outtake vocals (81,307) (81,308) by Billy from Greece Dennis, most artists record multiple takes of a songs and then combine the best parts to create the best outcome, at least when they record their vocals separately from an orchestra or instrumental part. It is a process called "comping". Barbra Streisand also does it. Here's a description: "Comping is when several vocal takes of a song are done. Afterward, the artist or producer listens to the takes and chooses the best words, phrases or lines from each take and puts them together as a whole, composite track that sounds seamless."

Re: Outtake vocals (81,300) (81,303) by Billy from Greece Again, I ask, who is in possession of these audios and leaks them on YouTube? (Thursday 8 March 2018; 23:22)

Re: Outtake vocals (81,300) (81,301) by Billy from Greece Amazingness to the utmost max. My goodness. Is my wig snatched? What wig? (Thursday 8 March 2018; 23:19)

Re: Golden Cannon and Roc & Roe (81,179) (81,184) by Billy from Greece This is super cute. The twins have grown so much, and Rock looks more and more like Mariah, especially with those curls. But what in the ham sandwich is Nick wearing? He also has to lose the turban pronto. (Tuesday 27 February 2018; 13:21)

Re: Big Jim Wright (81,170) (81,171) by Billy from Greece I've read that before. I just wonder every time he posts something because it comes across as if he was done wrong. Who knows. (Monday 26 February 2018; 20:54)

"Live in Japan (Revolver Classic Concerts)" CD (81,168) by Billy from Greece Anyone knows whether this release has a decent sound? It's the Daydream Tour. (Monday 26 February 2018; 18:09)

Big Jim Wright (81,165) by Billy from Greece I really wonder what the deal is with Big Jim and why exactly he was kicked out of the team (if that's the case). Every now and then he posts on social media some not that enigmatic statements, which I assume refer to the Mariah situation, though even after they "broke up" he still praised her. Hm. (Monday 26 February 2018; 16:04)

"#Beautiful" (81,091) by Billy from Greece If there's one song that should have been Mariah's 19th number one (so far), this is it. (Thursday 22 February 2018; 18:22)

"Sweetheart" (81,090) by Billy from Greece A teeny-tiny snippet of Mariah singing "Sweetheart" live during the filming of "I Still Believe". This jam has some serious funk in this arrangement. Love it. (Thursday 22 February 2018; 18:16)

Re: T4 music special (2009) (80,914) (80,916) by Billy from Greece Haha the cotton socks. I agree with what you said. She looks absolutely gorgeous in the black dress wearing her hair curly. Just stunning glamorous. But, as you said, it is during this era that she really started talking somehow in a lethargic way during interviews. Mind you, though, that it was around this time that she was about to become pregnant so maybe organically she was going through stuff. This is also, I think, something that many fans tend to forget, namely, that Mariah may have been through various situations health-wise over the years that we are not aware of and all we see is a small interview, which makes several people trying to deduct some deep truth about her state mentally, emotionally, career-wise and what not. She is human, after all. (Wednesday 14 February 2018; 10:46)

T4 music special (2009) (80,912) by Billy from Greece For anyone who would like to revisit this cute special of Mariah during the Memoirs era, here it is. (Tuesday 13 February 2018; 15:55)

Re: Mariah Blue-Spec CDs (80,890) (80,894) by Billy from Greece Thank you for the barcode. That was really helpful as I've been able to find it on amazon.uk as well. (Let me also correct a typo I made previously: I meant Blu-spec, not Blue. ) (Sunday 11 February 2018; 14:51)

Re: Mariah Blue-Spec CDs (80,876) (80,888) by Billy from Greece Taobao does not have an English menu, right? So frustrating. (Sunday 11 February 2018; 00:31)
