(82,261) by Dove from United States It would be neat if Mariah made an album covering songs that have been important to her in her life. In-between studio albums. For example a song her dad used to listen to when she was little, or a song she used to sing with her mom, the one that was her "song" with her first love, a song that was popular when she first moved out on her own, or the song she danced to at her wedding, etc. It may be cheesy but I love a cheesefest.

The Butterfly Returns / Vegas (82,260) by CMC from NY,NY I'm excited for the return to Vegas and back at Ceasers Palace instead of a smaller venue. I hope it is new material and not just mostly number ones, mixed with a few other past singles. She needs to do more album cuts and songs like, The Roof, Close My Eyes, Faded, it's usually 90% fans attending the Vegas shows so why not please them. Mostly looking forward to the new music though, a fresh sound, with some party anthems, if she goes dark, do it in the way she did Side Effects, with a hard beat, and she tells a her story and paints the whole picture. Honestly I'm not feeling The Butterfly Returns as an album title at all, it's way too redundant and not in any way fresh or new. She's done the whole butterfly image for years now. It's time for something new, she can still blossom and emerge from her cocoon without referencing a Butterfly again or trying to relive the past for her new project. I'm feeling a one word title. Something totally fresh. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 17:39)

New album (82,259) by Dav from Ireland The new album is either in the next couple of weeks or months, if not it will have to be next year. As she's touring most of the summer into November, then into the Christmas shows, it must be soon. I need it. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 15:50)

Re: Ruben sings Luther (82,249) (82,258) by Mara from United States Thank you Deedre and Licia. It really was a great time and you are right, nobody out there does Luther like Ruben. There was a singer by the name of Abraham McDonald who won Oprah's Karaoke challenge years ago and he was incredible too. Sadly, he passed away this year. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 15:30)

Re: Surprise release EP (82,255) (82,257) by enwar00 from usa Just to be clear my post was a joke, I don't have any sources and was just playing around with what I think would be a cool idea. I suppose it could happen though. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 14:22)

Re: "Sprung" / "Secret Love" (82,254) (82,256) by Billy from Greece Hi Enwar. I appreciate the feedback. I love love the old-school vibe of the "Mimi" sessions and of that era in general. Even more so the actual old-school 1970s records. Also, great news about you coming to Greece. Do let me know. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 10:58)

Surprise release EP (82,255) by enwar00 from usa My sources have informed me that The Butterfly Returns will drop as a surprise release within the next couple months before Vegas. It will only be an EP length, no 12 or 14 tracks this time. All killer no filler. Shh... don't tell anyone. Let's keep it to this board please. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 08:05)

Re: "Sprung" / "Secret Love" (82,204) (82,254) by enwar00 from usa Hey Billy, hope you're doing well. I was just listening to When I Feel It last week during one of my semi-regular Mariah mania binges and loved it. I'd only heard these songs in passing years ago, but I can say that's my fave of the 3 and one I'll continue to go back to. I love this clip because of the festive pic that goes with the song. Song def fits in with the whole old school vibe that was out during the early to mid 00s, as heard in songs by Mimi, Alicia Keys, Kanye West, just to name a few. Oh how I miss those days. Sprung is ok. Secret Love I don't like. Reminds me of the Bonecrusher remix of The One, which I am also not a big fan of. Btw there's a possibility I'll finally make it to Greece this year and if so I'll let you know. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 07:57)

Play about Martyn (82,253) by Bill from the UK Hi all, I saw this on the BBC this morning. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 07:40)

Re: The Polarity Tour (82,197) (82,252) by 90sMariah from SG Lol at the Polarity tour name. This is why I enjoy and love ya, Andrew. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 07:31)

Re: Article: Mariah returns to Las Vegas for The Butterfly Returns (82,242) (82,251) by Stacey from USA I agree. Now that's a great album title. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 05:25)

Confession (82,250) by Dove from United States I hadn't actually watched Mariah's World, I'd only watched clips of it. The clips I watched were cringeworthy. I was so excited for a new album today that I started watching the show, and it's actually good. People exaggerate. To me it's like an extended version of her Cribs episode. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 05:03)

Re: Ruben sings Luther (82,234) (82,249) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Luther is just amazing. I am so glad you had an wonderful time. He and Mariah together, it just doesn't get any better. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 04:36)

New promo pics (82,248) by Mara from United States This is exactly what we were asking for. Mariah simply posing with the retro microphone. Classy, elegant, iconic all splashed with simplicity. I am loving the glamourous look and pose minus the clunky diamon earrings and horrid necklace. The diamonds on her wrists are ok, but the too much over the top necklaces and earrings just age her. She looks amazing and so ready right now. Truly the butterfly is emerging once again from her cocoon. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 03:39)

Re: Butterfly Beyond? (60,618) (82,247) by Andrew from UK So two years ago I posted this: "It occurred to me that it might be a cool idea, twenty years after it was released, to do a Butterfly sequel to signify that the journey started in '97 has come to some sort of resolution. 'Butterfly Relanded' maybe. 'The Return of the Butterfly'." So if the album gets named "The Butterfly Returns" I am calling it that I named it. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 02:24)

Re: I Don't Vevo views (82,210) (82,246) by Terna from Nigeria Oh yeah I noticed. And they love to feature a lot of Mariah's material in [general], both [live] performances and studio recordings. I also see them all over Instagram. Mariah's really benefitting from this social media age like she really connects with the younger generation with all her "Mariahisms", the "I don't know her" and its sequel "I still don't know her". Lol. And the tea incident earlier this year. Everything she does is intriguing and entertaining to them and that's definitely a good thing. I remember I was like that too. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 01:00)

(82,245) by Bobby A from United States The title is symbolic to everything Mariah has been through in the past 3 years. She has been caged like a bird unable to be herself. She is free to spread her wings again. Didn't she break free in 1997 with the Butterfly album? Didn't we feel it with every song that she was free from her captors? Perfect title to return to a soaring form with those heartfelt ballads and uptempo R&B songs she is known for. She is out of her cocoon and looking absolutely amazing. I am pretty sure I am right. I know I am because I have been a Lamb since day one. Super excited for The Butterfly Returns. (Tuesday 1 May 2018; 00:24)

Re: Article: Mariah returns to Las Vegas for The Butterfly Returns (82,235) (82,244) by Dennis from Miami, FL The Butterfly Returns is the perfect album title. (Monday 30 April 2018; 23:37)

Re: Article: Mariah returns to Las Vegas for The Butterfly Returns (82,242) (82,243) by Billy from England, UK I was thinking maybe that’s her new album title too and maybe she will be singing her new album at Vegas? That would be fab. (Monday 30 April 2018; 23:14)

Article: Mariah returns to Las Vegas for The Butterfly Returns (82,242) by Will from England I love this. A great poke in the eye for Hella, who couldn't even get her back into Caesars Palace and only a hotel. There is a small part of me that is wishing that "The Butterfly Returns" is the new album title. Anyway, will be interesting to see if she does a different setlist. (Monday 30 April 2018; 22:44)

Happy birthday Roc and Roe (82,241) by RibbonB from USA Seven years old, what a milestone. I hope they have a fun time with family and some of their friends. (Monday 30 April 2018; 20:47)

Article: Mariah returns to Las Vegas for The Butterfly Returns (82,240) by Betty from Canada I believe in the album dropping before Vegas. Anyway, I can't wait to see MC again. (Monday 30 April 2018; 20:46)

Re: Article: Mariah returns to Las Vegas for The Butterfly Returns (82,238) (82,239) by Bill from the UK I agree, the shoot and title are brilliant. I really hope this is well received and yes, I'd love for her to debut a new song or two on the tour. (Monday 30 April 2018; 20:33)

Re: Article: Mariah returns to Las Vegas for The Butterfly Returns (82,226) (82,238) by Licia from USA While I was bitching about not being able to go to see her in Vegas I forgot to add how nice the new promo shots are and about the name of the show. It fits. I like it. I hope it's successful . Maybe we will get a new song or two with this show. (Monday 30 April 2018; 19:17)

Re: Blackwood story (82,232) (82,237) by Mara from United States Yes, seriously. This guy thinks because she wanted to meet him or asked him to an after party and he mentioned his girlfriend was a super Mariah fan, that he turned her down? Or that she was interested in him "more than just friends"? Gotta love it. (Monday 30 April 2018; 19:15)
