About Will from Australia: Lunatic crazy about Ms Carey

My sacrifice dahlings (90,906) by Will from Australia
Ok so I've done something I've never done before and ordered the vinyl and cassette of AIWFCIY from her online store, as well as the double album CD deluxe, despite the fact that I've had to pay top dollar for it there and also shipping all the way to Australia and also I won't have the vinyl or cassette until after Christmas as it won't be dispatched until December 20, but we do do these things for Mariah and it will be the best Christmas gift I could ever get if doing this helps Mariah get her 19th number one and also pushes the album to No.1, baa.

Glitter / Runway on Spotify (90,862) by Will from Australia
Some genius has uploaded the Glitter album as seperate podcasts on Spotify as well as Runway. There’s also a few live performances of the Caution tour. Search for Mariah Carey live performances. You’re welcome.

The Enunciation of Mimi (90,851) by Will from Australia
I'm finding it harder and harder to understand what exactly Mariah is saying in her songs these days, like with In The Mix I had to see the lyrics to know.

It's been like this for a while now, since maybe the MOAIA era and I'm surprised because she's known as such a perfectionist in the studio.

Most of her back catalogue before that I got instantly the majority of what was said (and no I don't need no q tips from Nicki Minaj).

I wonder if this is contributing to her declining popularity among non lambs, they just don't know she's singing.

In The Mehx (90,843) by Will from Australia
Listened to it a few times, nice bop and I like it just because it's new music from Mariah.

Not really going to take off though I don't think, just missing that addictive hooks like her other uptempo songs such as Dreamlover, Fantasy, Heartbreaker, It's Like That and Touch My Body have.

I'm actually really glad she features very little in the video as I think people who don't like her will not hate on it as much.

Is it Christmas yet?

Re: Last post (90,798) (90,800) by Will from Australia
Great lost Edward, so right about everything you’ve pointed out. We Are Delusional would be a good fit to describe the way some people try to defend Mariah’s missteps and as they pass shade on her fans who have an opinion that Mariah isn’t actually perfect, so tiring. But don’t argue with fools as people looking from a distance can’t tell who is who.

It's not just Glitter (90,772) by Will from Australia
Mariah is not a very good actress, not just in Glitter, but in everything I've seen her in - and yes I'm talking about Precious too and I know she got nominated for blah blah blah. I don't think she can act at all very well. But why should she, she's a singer with an amazing gift and for that she is in a league of her own. And that's just my opinions and opinions are like butt holes, everyone has one. Is it Christmas yet?

Re: Mariah and Ellen (90,726) (90,744) by Will from Australia
I've thought that for a long time Todd. Ellen is very dismissive of the diva behaviour Mariah would bring and it seemed like the producers had just booked Mariah and Ellen couldn't move along quick enough. I remember one segment where she tried to get Mariah to play a game and Mariah was being difficult and wouldn't answer the questions, that seemed to piss Ellen off. I'd rather Mariah just did the show when she had something to really talk to.

The Mariah Report (90,678) by Will from Australia
I can't believe The Mariah Report is no more. So sad. I thought they went on a very abrupt hiatus for the summer it didn't expect that to be the end of it. Wonder what happened? There's no explaining as to why, just goodbye.

Re: Article: The 25 best singers-turned-actors (90,663) (90,664) by Will from Australia
I can't believe Whitney isn't on the list considering how huge The Bodyguard was in comparison to the movies some of the others on that list made.

The list is beyond amateur.

New album (90,451) by Will from Australia
Mariah has gone from being very secretive about new music to taking endlessly about new music (MIAM and Caution specifically) and it taking a long time to be actually released so I’ll be speechless if we see a new album this year.

She’s taking so long these days to make albums, I believe because she’s a perfectionist and also chasing a return to the top of Billboard, even though she denies it.

A re-release of Merry Christmas for the anniversary with bonus tracks maybe? Or Caution re-release although with the tour over what would be the point of that?

Re: I am free (90,191) (90,206) by Will from Australia
Great topic Norman. I’d like to know what happened behind the scenes with Walter and what he told Tommy and how it effected her parting from someone she was so close to and creatively just gelled to create masterpieces.

Bleakness (90,161) by Will from Australia
Some of the stuff people come out with here is so bleak. If someone wants to quote a line, a chorus or the whole bloody song then good on you. You're a fan and are moved by Mariah's lyrics and come here to celebrate it, not to be told how to be a fan in the eyes of the neurotic.

These controlling Tommy Mottola need to get a life lol. It's not that deep. My favourite Mariah album, and no.1 of course is Music Box, Daydream and Butterfly.

Re: Mariah's greatest lyric (90,120) (90,127) by Will from Australia
Verse chorus verse of Breakdown is some of her best lyrically but she has so many.

You called yesterday to basically say
That you care for me,
But that you're just not in love
Immediately I pretended
To be feeling similarly
And led you to believe it was OK
To just walk away from the one thing
That's unyielding and sacred to me
Well I guess I'm trying to be
Nonchalant about it
And I'm going to extremes to prove
I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
Underneath a disguise of a smile
Gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel
And I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal
The fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise
'Til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights
And then I break down and cry
So what do you do
When somebody you're so devoted to
Suddenly just stops loving you
And it seems they haven't got a clue
Of the pain that rejection is putting you through
Do you cling to your pride
And sing "I will survive"
Do you lash out and say, how dare you leave this way?
Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away

Justice for Glitter was a publicity stunt (90,115) by Will from Australia
I've been sitting on this for a while but I really think Mariah's new management team coordinated the #JusticeForGlitter movement through a PR Agency in order to promote Caution.

Mariah's public image was so bad following the nightmare era with that woman that I think they needed a huge turnaround for Caution to not flop completely and give her something interesting to talk about and get back in the good books.

It doesn't take a huge investment to make something an iTunes No.1, it's very different to physical sales and once you planted the seed, push through social media channels, build a campaign and there you have it - redemption and you publicly have erased the biggest stumbling block in your career that people won't forget.

My line of work is in publicity, communications and marketing and this instantly jumped out at me as a planned campaign. I'm delighted it worked if it was as Caution would have had a fraction of the attention it received without that narrative.

Re: Who she'd rather? (90,104) (90,114) by Will from Australia
She wouldn't dare do something with Christina, Ariana or Lovato because they would try do a Celine at Divas Live with Aretha and our sing her to prove they're the voice blah blah.

I could see the JLo thing come to life. They both have made the "I don't know her" into a running joke now and have said more pleasant things towards each other and as two aging stars it would definitely raise their profiles again. But as Mariah once said, I'm just not sure how that would sound.

Mariah's response (89,998) by Will from Australia
M just ignoring the whole debacle and posting Caution tour wrap posts to IG is just the perfect response to this bleak moment.

Is that it? (89,979) by Will from Australia
We've been reading about the law suit and the alleged intimate moments but if what we've seen in the Daily Mail is the extent of those intimate moments then thank goodness. I was expecting much worse. Mariah can shake this all off with either the MW narrative and the fakeness of that or either her bipolar condition. I'm not worried about how she'll recover, she will.

Re: Studio session in Barcelona (89,946) (89,952) by Will from Australia
Maybe she’s recording AIWFCIY for the 500th time but this time backwards and in spangelish.

Re: Favourite whistle (89,892) (89,909) by Will from Australia
Surprised nobody has mentioned the whistle from The Star Spangled Banner, love how the music fades out to let her voice right at that moment take centre stage.

The new Mariah (89,879) by Will from Australia
I honestly could not give two rats about if Mariah has or hasn't had work done to her. Those snakes in the grass will slither to the media with more crap about Mariah in the future but I'm not here for it.

The Mariah we have today, the voice going from strength to strength, the interviews being inciting, her confidence blossoming, giving the lambs what they want with those snippets. It's really a return to a place I thought we wouldn't see again.

The last time I truly was happy with Mariah in that she seemed happy with herself but not in a egotistical way was back in 2005, the success of TEOM and that comeback I think went to her head and she slowly derailed from there until rock bottom at NYE. I'm just thrilled to see her now, smiling, content, confident. They can say anything they want to say now she cut her lawn.

Australia (89,840) by Will from Australia
I don't think Caution is going to come to Australia now. I was hoping for a late announcement while Europe was going but it's nearly over and she's back to Canada after.
