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

Caution to feature a cover song? (85,351) by Bill from the UK Anybody hopeful that Caution will house another classic remake? I do love Mariah's remakes, and I'm sure we've all got lists (I love a list). Reasons by Minnie Riperton or The Impossible Dream are top of mine. (Saturday 27 October 2018; 12:51)

Re: Brat bankruptcy (85,291) (85,292) by Bill from the UK Haha. It took me longer than you can possibly imagine to make it lol. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 21:06)

Re: Brat bankruptcy (85,285) (85,288) by Bill from the UK It would be quite something if Mariah paid for Da Brat’s debt whilst at the same time refusing to even acknowledge her dying sister’s pleas for help. Hashtag just saying. (Thursday 25 October 2018; 19:29)

Re: Limited edition of Caution (85,258) (85,260) by Bill from the UK Yes yes yes and yes. The limited edition cover is brilliant and so much better than Avatar 2 meets In The Zone. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 21:20)

Re: Mariah Carey dragged into Da Brat's bankruptcy case (85,239) (85,245) by Bill from the UK I find it incredible and unbelievable that Da Brat is unable to survive on nine thousand dollars a month. Live within your means like everyone else. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 13:08)

Re: Big news (85,223) (85,225) by Bill from the UK I was listening to CB too and also thought of our dear Licia. I did of course skip Boy (I Need You), and I do get a bit bored by chorus 157 of Lullaby, but otherwise, a nice album to go back to from time to time. (Tuesday 23 October 2018; 18:25)

Caution World Tour (85,191) by Bill from the UK So that was the big news. I was half expecting her to announce a starring role in Avatar 2 after the album cover reveal lol. (Monday 22 October 2018; 17:15)

Re: The Asia tour and MC15 Caution era (85,088) (85,091) by Bill from the UK Completely agree that MC should really capitalise on her tours this quarter to promote her new material as well as delivering her hits. Some audience members may be attending "for the nostalgia", so for them to hear her new, great material as the album hits the shelves seems a bit of a no brainer. (Friday 19 October 2018; 10:55)

Re: The Distance (pre-order track) (85,027) (85,035) by Bill from the UK Hahaha, love that. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 13:12)

The Distance (pre-order track) (85,019) by Bill from the UK Love love love this song. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 07:41)

Re: Album title (84,997) (84,998) by Bill from the UK Agree. Butterfly couldn’t have been more perfect a title for that album. (Wednesday 17 October 2018; 20:15)

Re: Album title (84,986) (84,990) by Bill from the UK Haha me too. It's the equivalent of your lovely self and CB hehe. (Wednesday 17 October 2018; 14:06)

Re: The actual cover (84,985) (84,988) by Bill from the UK Haha. Secretly I love the song. (Wednesday 17 October 2018; 13:51)

Re: The actual cover (84,971) (84,982) by Bill from the UK As much as I love the album cover, have to agree Licia. The pink caution tape with a glimpse of Mariah's blue tinged eye behind it was very effective. Hoping that will be the deluxe edition, which of course will contain the demo tape, every unreleased song ever, and a new version of Why You Mad. (Wednesday 17 October 2018; 09:39)

Re: Album cover (84,946) (84,968) by Bill from the UK Haha, are you serious? I think that MIAM’s cover was created by Industrial Light & Magic, it’s so fake. That said, love the Caution album cover. One of her best. (Tuesday 16 October 2018; 21:15)

Re: Caution (84,899) (84,903) by Bill from the UK Yes, add me to the list of surprised but delighted fans with the album title. I love it, and certainly prepares us all for the f-bombs and "aggressiveness" lol. My mind is racing away with me, but imagine if she did a concept album, first half "caution it's so explosive" which is all the up tempos and aggressive songs, and then part two being "caution to the wind" (line from The Roof) which is the more mellow, deep cuts.

Re: Missing crowd of fans in Japan (84,883) (84,884) by Bill from the UK Plus why stand around outside when you can watch it all unfold on your phone screen? (Monday 15 October 2018; 15:51)

Re: With You (84,872) (84,874) by Bill from the UK I agree - all her efforts since MIAM, with the exception of Unforgettable, have been listened to maybe less than 5 times each by me. With You, however, I've been playing every day. It is a really good song and I hope it grows on the general public and casual fans. MC really needs to get out there and start promoting it a bit more though. Great the video is finally out, AMA performance was visually breathtaking, but don't lose the momentum. #Beautiful should have been the 21st number one (after Migrate and Ribbon) but the grinding halt to the promotion stopped it from happening. That was a genuine issue with the shoulder injury though, right now there's no reason to prematurely pull the plug on the promo. Lots of p's in that sentence, sorry. (Monday 15 October 2018; 11:52)

Re: With You (84,851) (84,852) by Bill from the UK With You is definitely a grower that's for sure, but if it's taken us as fans a couple of weeks and multiple listens to get into it, I do worry about how successful the song will be outside her fan base. The video should help, it's actually her best since Touch My Body, and I hope she does some more TV spots and not sit there thinking that one lipped performance at the AMAs is enough promo, because it isn't. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 22:49)

Re: Mariah: queen of the redo (84,808) (84,825) by Bill from the UK There's a massive, noticeable difference in the quality of vocals of When You Believe when compared against Sweetheart, I Still Believe and DYKWYGT - all recorded during the same period. That's all I'm saying. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 10:01)

Re: Question (84,799) (84,805) by Bill from the UK My theory is Mariah wanted to be alone when recording her vocals so she could engineer the crap out of them to match Whitney's. (Friday 12 October 2018; 21:11)

New album cover (84,789) by Bill from the UK The With You video is so good, on repeat viewings, that any one of the shots could make a really great album cover. Especially her in the car. I'd much prefer a still from that classy video over another photoshopped concoction of Mariah's head on a 20 year old's body. Another good look would be the shot of her sprawled on the floor, only in colour as that red dress was really striking. (Friday 12 October 2018; 11:54)

Re: AMAs (84,783) (84,788) by Bill from the UK Yes, even though she lipped the hell out of the song, I find myself going back to keep watching the AMA performance as it was a great visual and unique concept. (Friday 12 October 2018; 11:51)

Re: "The Remixes" 15 years later (84,769) (84,787) by Bill from the UK It’s a great album but the second disc was botched. Half of it was album tracks that should have been replaced with the Pure Imagination remix of I Still Believe, finally release the elusive Drifting Remix of Underneath the Stars, and some of those rare DYKWYGT mixes and Butterfly meme mixes. That would have been a great treat for the fans. But no. Slap on Crybaby and Breakdown (not even the extended version). The other major omission was the ten minute club mix of ABMB. I would have preferred that over that lazy mix of Through the Rain. (Friday 12 October 2018; 11:48)

Re: With You video (84,750) (84,753) by Bill from the UK Yep agreed. Video is all good, and who knew when she stepped out in those great trousers the other day it was fresh from filming a scene for the video. Love the hairbrush part. All very stylish. As I've said before, this song (and now video) are both fine, but I just don't think it has the "pizazz" of a lead single. Wish it the best though, especially after AMAgate.
