Re: If Butterfly single was released (101,243) (101,245) by Bobby A from United States I was thinking last night that Breakdown should been the follow up single to Honey and then My All. Breakdown was such a great cross between R&B and hip hop. I heard Breakdown and Butterfly both on radio station K-97 in Memphis, TN for at least 3 months. The funny thing is that they wouldn't play The Roof during that time period. (Saturday 17 September 2022; 15:20)

Re: If Butterfly single was released (101,240) (101,244) by Anonymous from United States I think it could have had a chance at #1 if they timed the commercial release correctly. It was getting quite a bit of airplay for a song without an official release. The Elton John single was #1 mostly based on single sales. "Butterfly" may have only gone to #2, but I still think it should have been released. It is one of her best ballads, and "Fly Away (Butterfly Reprise)" is excellent and adds a whole different dimension to the song. (Saturday 17 September 2022; 15:03)

Re: If Butterfly single was released (101,241) (101,243) by MusicfanJ from Germany Excatly, it was released in Europe. I remember it was played a lot on MTV but didn't chart high compared to "Honey". So I also think "Butterfly" wouldn't have been a "hit" in the US at that time. "Honey" and "My all" were the number ones, rightly so. I would have loved to see "The roof" at number one back then, maybe on the US charts. But all the live performances with "Butterfly" and the video playing on MTV, the many interviews with MC, it was wonderful. So many good memories. The music generally had another quality.

Re: New projects (101,237) (101,242) by Bobby A from United States It looks like 2023 is going to have four album releases. 1. An album for a documentary or series 2. A theme album 3. Somebody's Else Daughter album 4. MC16 I just wonder if the theme album will be similar to Jasmine Sullivan's Heaux Tales or Janet Jackson's The Velvet Rope. It would be cool if the theme album was the soundtrack to a major movie in 2023. Somebody's Else Daughter will probably be released during the summer followed by MC16 in the fall. I am excited for 2023. Maybe that's the reason for the move back to New York. (Saturday 17 September 2022; 13:50)

Re: If Butterfly single was released (101,240) (101,241) by Bill from the UK Mariah said the record company didn't want her "streak" of number ones to end (though it technically ended with Can't Let Go), but presumably they meant from Fantasy onwards. There was no way anything was gonna budge Candle In the Wind from the top, which is probably why it never got released in the US. It was released commercially virtually everywhere else, and didn't chart that well considering her popularity at the time, so perhaps that was why it never got a commercial single in the US.

If Butterfly single was released (101,240) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Everyone knows that the song was not commercially released as single and that's the reason why the song didn't eligible to chart on Billboard Hot 100 (the rule at that time). So my question is, if the song was released, will it reach number one. At that particular time the song by Elton John for the late Princess Diana was very strong on the radio and charts and it reached number one for 14 weeks from October 1997 until January 1998. That was the window period for Butterfly to be released as single. So maybe, just maybe, Butterfly woud only end up at number 2, or who knows, maybe Butterfly would be the song that block Elton John's song from reaching number one. Or both songs could have their fair share at number one. (Saturday 17 September 2022; 11:18)

Rolling Stone interview (101,239) by Billy from Greece By far one of her best interviews. Same goes for the interviewer. (Saturday 17 September 2022; 01:52)

Re: The 8 "new" tracks (101,219) (101,238) by 123 from USA I only cared for The Roof feat Brandy and 4th of July Acapella. I never recalled cared for 4th of July, but I heard the isolated vocals and loved all the hidden layers and vocals. It’s better without the music. The other tracks are filler. Wished she would have put more into this anniversary and tacked on Head Over Heels and Last Chance with her vocals. That would have made the purchase worth it. Not purchasing but have streamed. For the nostalgia - lol. (Saturday 17 September 2022; 01:48)

New projects (101,237) by 123 from USA Interesting interview. So she still has multiple projects in the works. The Butterfly Lounge is still coming but not finished. A soundtrack that will go with her visual adaptation to her book. Here I thought she abandoned everything. Looks like she is still not done. (Saturday 17 September 2022; 01:44)

Rolling Stone interview (101,236) by Billy from Greece Say what you want about Mariah being one way or another, but when I hear her radio interviews I get the same feeling I've always felt since I fell in love with her in the early 90s. So knowledgeable, a true musician. Really worth listening. (Saturday 17 September 2022; 01:08)

Re: Butterfly 25th anniversary vinyl (101,231) (101,235) by Bobby A from United States What. I went to the website this morning at 3am and received an error message. (Friday 16 September 2022; 22:32)

(101,234) by bliss! from Brazil Sorry, I would like to correct my last post. Access Mimi is the source, but they posted the link to a Spotify podcast where Mariah confirms the information. It seems like a very interesting interview. (Friday 16 September 2022; 20:49)

New projects confirmed (101,233) by bliss! from Brazil Mariah confirms new album on an interview with Rolling Stone, as well as a project and new songs for a scripted series or documentary. Source: Access Mimi on Twitter. (Friday 16 September 2022; 20:47)

Re: Merchandise (101,227) (101,229) by Myles from CT, USA If not pre-order about a week. (Friday 16 September 2022; 16:49)

Re: Butterfly 25 (101,226) (101,228) by Myles from CT, USA I think they will become [available] today. (Friday 16 September 2022; 15:40)

Merchandise (101,227) by Tameka walker from United states I just ordered a shirt and this is the first time I ordered something. How long does it normally take to get a order? I am from Suffolk VA. (Friday 16 September 2022; 15:07)

Re: Butterfly 25 (101,210) (101,226) by Bobby A from United States How do you order the new vinyl and cassette? They are not on MC's website. (Friday 16 September 2022; 14:11)

Re: Honey 4K (101,221) (101,225) by Carlos from Brazil I hope in the Honey minidoc that Mariah would tell us what is D.U.N.C.E. because I know that must be some inner joke of hers. (Friday 16 September 2022; 13:07)

Re: Honey 4K (101,222) (101,224) by Lee from UK Ah, that makes more sense. Thank you. (Friday 16 September 2022; 11:03)

Brandy (101,223) by Lee from UK I've not watched the masterclass with Brandy yet but I recall people here being upset that Brandy was relegated to background vocals. Listening to the track today, it sounds like, at least on the first verse, that Brandy sings every other line? Am I wrong? (Friday 16 September 2022; 11:01)

Re: Honey 4K (101,221) (101,222) by Terna from Nigeria It's the correct link, the video content just got upgraded but kept its original view count. The same was done with "We Belong Together" and "When You Believe", amongst others. (Friday 16 September 2022; 10:11)

Honey 4K (101,221) by Lee from UK Besides most of the Butterfly 25's bonus tracks already being available for many years, the 4K version of the Honey video was uploaded to YouTube 12 years ago. I wonder whether Mariah has provided us with an incorrect link? (Friday 16 September 2022; 09:58)
