enwar00 (39,948) by Will from England Are you for real? (Friday 22 November 2013; 15:28)

Christopher (39,851) by Will from England I don't think that the plays on Facebook count towards where the single is positioned on the charts. As far as I am aware, it's only the YouTube/Vevo plays that count. (Saturday 16 November 2013; 12:41)

Ms. Giselle (39,825) by Will from England When Nick got her Cha Cha, she had returned from the dentist and was still a little bit under whatever they gave her. It wasn't anything serious, and that wasn't the first time that she mentioned it. Maybe it was the View or somewhere like that when she talked about the story. Look guys, at 3.30 am, when you're tired, and you've been working hard on the album, recovering from an arm injury that still isn't at 100%, and someone tells you that there was a mistake about which version of the song that was uploaded, I would have flipped a table or two. To have some newbie screw up and release a version of a song that you consider to be incomplete and not finished, along with the fact that the song is very personal to you and you want people to experience the version you consider complete, and not being told until two days later I think is quite a good reason to be "on the floor of the bathroom at 3am". She obviously cares about this song quite a bit, enough to have it released even if it is not a commercial single or whatever and for someone to (in her mind) ruin the moment may have just deflated her just a bit. As for the Fallon interview, I did not see any behaviour that would give me cause for concern. It was Mariah just being more Mariah. I guess over the years she's been more restrained in how much of her personality that to see her going off on tangents may be slightly alarming. Breakdown? I think Mariah knows what to do to avoid that at this point. (Friday 15 November 2013; 15:25)

Version 2 (39,802) by Will from England Yeah, that "brand new sound engineer" won't be getting another job for a while. And to be honest, I only hear slight differences between the two. But I guess for Mariah, they must be huge differences. (Thursday 14 November 2013; 18:42)

Split (39,715) by Will from England I'm a bit split over the song. Vocally, she knocked it out the park at the end. Lyrically, I thought it was a bit clumsy here and there, and it felt a bit, out of place? Though it does have some highlight moments ("press delete" lol). Musically, loving the retro feeling to it, and the simplicity about it. Refreshing to hear something that isn't techno/EDM or whatever. It's certainly not a song you can sing along to or dance for that matter, more like lay back in your chaise lounge/sofa/park bench, have a "splash", hit play and just listen and marvel at it. Will it chart high? Maybe not on Billboard, but certainly with the lambs it will. It doesn't sound like something that you would hear on the radio, and I don't know if that will play in its favour or not. We shall see. (Monday 11 November 2013; 18:46)

Buble (39,703) by Will from England Very excited to see Mariah and Buble duet together in just a couple months. Should be fantastic. We're now under 48 hours away from the new single. (Sunday 10 November 2013; 9:42)

Q&A (39,680) by Will from England Do you think Mariah would answer that very question about working with Walter again, if loads of lambs asked her during the listening party? Just a thought. With only four days to go, getting more and more excited. (Wednesday 6 November 2013; 23:52)

Brad Catoe (39,657) by Will from England That's what I thought when I read that message! (Monday 4 November 2013; 15:39)

Stevie and Mariah? (39,651) by Will from England Whilst I am excited by the prospect of there being a duet between these two legends, let's bare in mind that nothing has been confirmed yet. Hell, we don't even know if the rumoured duet is going to make it onto the album, let alone whose album it may be on/for, since it has been reported that Stevie is planning to release two albums in 2014. But let's hope that I'm wrong as usual and that it is indeed true! JD seems to be doing everything right thus far. (Monday 4 November 2013; 1:46)

Carla (39,626) by Will from England Hear hear! (Thursday 31 October 2013; 17:01)

Quaid Long (39,600) by Will from England Close My Eyes ("Guardian angel, I sail away on an ocean with you by my side, orange clouds roll by") and Underneath The Stars. (Wednesday 30 October 2013; 10:38)

Correction (39,586) by Will from England Sorry, that was supposed to read as "TJ, TEOM album cover looked even less like Mariah." (Monday 28 October 2013; 22:56)

Stephen / TJ (39,585) by Will from England I'd been thinking that as well. I remember her talking about having something like that being painted in Dem Babies' nursery, and want something similar for her bedroom. TJ, TEOM album cover looked even like Mariah, remember how they were all saying she looked like Beyonce? Something feels very different about this era and what's in store for us. And if the single cover is this good, imagine what the album cover could look like. (Monday 28 October 2013; 21:41)

Single cover (39,578) by Will from England I really love it! It's simple and just elegant. The colours, the lighting, Mariah (ok, with a few touch ups), everything is just beautiful about it. At least it isn't just a couple of screen shots from a music video. It's very "M by Mariah Carey" meets TEOM promo shots meets "Butterfly" single cover. (Monday 28 October 2013; 16:51)

Brad (39,575) by Will from England Yeah, I noticed that too lol. It wouldn't be the first time that she's recycled a dress though. How many times did she use that Golden Globes dress? (Monday 28 October 2013; 11:30)

Three parts? (39,569) by Will from England There are three parts to that song? I was only aware of the two. (Sunday 27 October 2013; 10:31)

Drunk during interviews? Please (39,558) by Will from England I guess there really is no pleasing people. Even when she's doing promo interviews, there is always someone who finds something to complain about. She has been vague about the song very specifically, so that we can make our own judgement of the song, without relying on what she has said about the song in the past and what the song means to her. And to be very fair to her, I wouldn't know where to begin when describing the song title, since it is a very obscure title which could really mean anything to anyone. (Friday 25 October 2013; 9:48)

Letting Go snippet? (39,553) by Will from England If you haven't seen Mariah's latest video update for the single, if that string orchestral arrangement really is the song, then I'm really excited. This is already sounding so different to what she has done in the past. So close. (Thursday 24 October 2013; 18:42)

Eric (39,546) by Will from England Depends lol. If Mariah wanted to break that jacket, she would have taken a deep breath, zipped it further up, and breathed out. Seams would have been ripped lol. As for it being zipped further down, would you like to take bets on whether or not that the zip was indeed lower before they hit record? (Wednesday 23 October 2013; 22:52)

Press round (39,544) by Will from England Well, Mariah's certainly doing the press round this time. How many interviews in a space of a few hours? 4? 5? One on a major (I assume it's major) news network no less. Ok, seems JD knows what he's doing! I also like how they addressed why exactly they decided to release the song through Facebook. From another stand point, it's also quite smart. For YouTube, there are sites that allow you to download the audio from a video, so by doing it through Facebook directly, that (I think) reduces the chances of it being ripped off and illegally downloaded. So I'm liking the way this is shaping up. (Wednesday 23 October 2013; 21:54)

Eric (39,504) by Will from England Wow, that's such a beautiful song! This is kinda how I hope Mariah's version will sound, lyrically and musically. (Thursday 17 October 2013; 21:22)

Matt (39,501) by Will from England I meant as singles lol. (Thursday 17 October 2013; 19:14)

These stories / title single (39,496) by Will from England I'd love to know how where they get these stories from. They're getting more and more ridiculous. Am I right in saying that she's only ever released three title singles from albums of the same name? Emotions, Butterfly and TAOLG (if the album title hasn't changed since it was leaked). On the same subject, this single sounds like her most complicated on yet. To me, it's on the same level of TEOM. (Thursday 17 October 2013; 11:44)

Rashidi Rahim Rick / new single / that interview (39,487) by Will from England I don't think the album will be out for a while lol. It's just the single that will be released. I must say, I know it was rumoured that there would be a song called "The Art Of Letting Go", and I personally didn't believe it at the time, because to me, I couldn't see how it would fit lyrically. But since it's been confirmed, I'm more excited to see how it goes. This is going to be the longest less-than-a-month ever! As for that interview, I had never heard of the two hosts before so I'm not at all familiar with their show. Is that's their style of interviewing, then ok. (Tuesday 15 October 2013; 12:40)

The Art Of Letting Go (39,476) by Will from England I'm so excited for this! (Monday 14 October 2013; 17:24)
