About Bill from the UK: I love Mariah more than you do. London Daydream Tour Attendee.

Re: My Caution world tour set list (88,085) (88,088) by Bill from the UK I think it'd be more fitting for MC to end the concert with GTFO lol. (Sunday 17 February 2019; 16:04)

Article: 5 Songs by Mariah Carey that should've hit #1 (88,053) by Bill from the UK No Migrate? (Friday 15 February 2019; 14:51)

Re: J.Lo's "management team" (88,008) (88,012) by Bill from the UK It also comes down to the old "you can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter" analogy. J.Lo is not talented. She is not musically gifted, nor have any talent as an actor either. She's a great dancer, and of course looks amazing, but that's it. She cannot write a song nor give a stellar delivery of it.

Caution cassette (87,978) by Bill from the UK So my Caution cassette finally arrived today. This was all I ordered from the site, but my box contained the pink vinyl with the M cover, which I never ordered or paid for, as well as some lithographs. If this was a mistake, I lucked out, and is a nice payback for waiting a hundred years for it to arrive. (Saturday 9 February 2019; 17:31)

Re: Butterfly (87,966) (87,970) by Bill from the UK Your original reply was very well said and I also agree with this point. All Chris' posts are unfortunately a lot of clap trap formed by his own perception of events. But opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one. (Friday 8 February 2019; 21:21)

Re: Butterfly (87,940) (87,944) by Bill from the UK Actually the false boobs didn't arrive until 1999. (Thursday 7 February 2019; 01:33)

Re: Imagine by Ariane Grande (87,914) (87,924) by Bill from the UK For two reasons. 1. I've Been Thinking About You, like all Carey-Cole-Clivilles compositions, uses uncredited samples itself, and 2. David Cole died in 1995. (Wednesday 6 February 2019; 06:51)

Re: Maroon 5's half-time show (87,885) (87,887) by Bill from the UK Indeed, YouTube is forever and there's enough ropey performances on there (now outnumbering the good pre-1997 performances, because she won't stop touring) to seal her doom without a(nother) televised global catastrophe.

Re: Dreamlover in Saudi Arabia (87,869) (87,872) by Bill from the UK It's a bit too late for that really. If she suddenly gave this incredible "was it lipped or wasn't it" concert out of nowhere everyone (or us at least), would know she was, if you pardon the lamb pun, pulling the wool over our eyes. I wish she'd just drop the old material, she can't get through a single song end to end live anymore. The Caution tour should be that album's tracks only, plus a lipped Hero and We Belong Together to keep everyone happy. At least we'd stand a chance of having maybe a 50% live concert, rather than the current less than 10% we get now. (I really don't count shouting/speaking verses as singing anymore. I'm looking at you, Emotions.) (Sunday 3 February 2019; 19:50)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey wows fans in Saudi Arabia (87,852) (87,854) by Bill from the UK I watched the highlights on YouTube and I must agree, it was dreadful. If they were the highlights then thank the good Lord above the video didn't subject me to the lowlights. It's the worst she's sounded since that horrific Elusive Chanteuse tour. The rate of decline in her vocals is alarming. (Friday 1 February 2019; 16:43)

Re: Butterfly (87,835) (87,851) by Bill from the UK Great words. I think when Mariah is remembered it will be AIWFCIY and Butterfly that end up defining her. That capturing a moment notion you speak of reminds me so much of the stories behind Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album. (Friday 1 February 2019; 15:33)

Re: Vanishing (87,775) (87,781) by Bill from the UK Okay back up and pop it in reverse for a second. You don't like The Roof? Blasphemy lol. When you get to it, definitely watch the video alongside as it perfectly captures the atmosphere of the song (those limo shots are something else). The lyrics are so poetic and the driving beat almost sounds like rain. She's never done a song that atmospheric and moody until Giving Me Life in my opinion. It's a real gem and my favourite from Butterfly. It pains me that the planned UK release as a single was canned as it was deemed too urban. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 19:40)

Re: Rainbow / Glitter (87,776) (87,780) by Bill from the UK Yes. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 19:37)

This site lol (87,771) by Bill from the UK All I ever read on this site these days is a bunch of you squabbling with each other followed by a daily check in of With You's agonisingly slow descent down the Adult R&B charts. God speed the A No No remix so we have something else to talk about on this godforsaken board lol. (Tuesday 29 January 2019; 11:48)

Re: Mariah's managers? 1990-2019 (87,736) (87,757) by Bill from the UK Randy Hoffman managed Mariah for years during the beginning of her career until she cleaned house of Tommy and his associates. (Monday 28 January 2019; 21:26)

Re: With You (87,752) (87,756) by Bill from the UK So anyway, back to Mariah. (Monday 28 January 2019; 20:19)

Re: Don't Forget About Us (87,739) (87,744) by Bill from the UK She's been churning out those types of ballads for ten years so I for one was glad of their absence on Caution. (Monday 28 January 2019; 13:30)

Re: With You (87,689) (87,702) by Bill from the UK I can imagine logging into this board ten years from now and still seeing updates go by about With You's position in the Adult R&B Charts. (Friday 25 January 2019; 20:37)

Re: New found appreciation for IDWC (87,681) (87,685) by Bill from the UK I used to skip it mainly because I couldn't wait to get to Someday haha. What a bop. Definitely revisit Vanishing. It's my second fave on the album (after Vision of Love of course). (Wednesday 23 January 2019; 19:44)

Re: New found appreciation for IDWC (87,672) (87,676) by Bill from the UK With you on this. I used to always skip it but lately it has taken on a new lease of life. The way she delivers that bridge... wow. (Tuesday 22 January 2019; 23:59)

Re: If it was me (87,654) (87,656) by Bill from the UK Whatever happens, happens. Mariah made these choices and she will need to own them. Part of me thinks she should let it all out, and then humble herself by admitting what she did was wrong (if it's as bad as has been implied), and then use that to start a clean slate and make some positive changes in her life. Bring her back down to earth a bit. She's human and makes mistakes. Everybody deals with consequences from their actions eventually, and it can't be healthy for her to forever be looking over her shoulder and having NDAs coming out of every orifice. My advice: air everything so her enemies have no ammunition, take back the power, stop masquerading behind a false projection of yourself. Be honest about who you are and where you are now (including your voice). As with the bipolar announcement, the fans won't turn their backs on you, and you will always be loved and cherished.

Re: Mariah sues personal assistant (87,627) (87,636) by Bill from the UK Welcome back Chris the Psychologist. What a ridiculous post. We're talking about two people here across Mariah's entire team, both past and present. Plastic surgery is not the work of the devil, sorry to break it to you. (Saturday 19 January 2019; 08:55)

The debut (87,579) by Bill from the UK I'm going through one of my phases where I do nothing but play the debut album on repeat. What an introduction, what a voice. I love all the songs so much, even There's Got to Be a Way and You Need Me, which I sometimes see get some, for want of a better word, "shade" on here. The Prisoner rap is something else. You're just a player, that's not my format. Love it. (Wednesday 16 January 2019; 21:13)

Re: SWHOF (87,537) (87,545) by Bill from the UK Without any disrespect to Missy, she hasn't penned 17 number one records (two of which reigned at the top for 16 and 14 consecutive weeks), nor create a universally adorned perennial Christmas classic. Mariah should be inducted for AIWFCIY alone in my opinion. (Sunday 13 January 2019; 23:02)

Re: R. Kelly (87,502) (87,509) by Bill from the UK If I remember correctly, at the time he released the (still) amazing Ignition Remix, everyone quickly forgot about all the charges against him. Also get your point about not liking Caution but appreciating it. I never listen to E=MC2 or Memoirs that much, but when I do, I enjoy every single song. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 14:24)
