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

Re: Genius interview (86,051) (86,093) by Bill from the UK Thanks so much for posting this. This is one of the best interviews she's ever given. I'd go as far as seeing as good as that "lost" Rainbow interview she gave that surfaced a year or so ago. This is probably because, for once, the right questions were asked and her audience were her fans. I really can't wait for MC's book to come out. Part of me doesn't care about all the drama in the background, I'm more hopeful she goes into meanings behind her lyrics, where she was at that point in her life, and her creative process rather than Tommy dressing her up in trousers and a turtle neck.

Caution reviews (86,048) by Bill from the UK I love reading all your reviews and thoughts and favourites everyone, thanks for taking the time to write it up. I go back and listen to everyone’s favourites, great way to explore and familiarise yourself with the new material. (Friday 16 November 2018; 20:56)

Re: One Mo' Gen (86,008) (86,016) by Bill from the UK Haha. I stayed up to midnight for the album and was up until 1am playing One Mo Gen on repeat. If I didn't have to work today I wouldn't have gone to bed. I played the album again and One Mo Gen got repeated several times on my way into work. Really, really love this one and as much as I also loved The Distance, it got knocked out of pole position straight away. (Friday 16 November 2018; 10:12)

One Mo' Gen (85,990) by Bill from the UK This track is great. The best one on the album. Ear candy. Love at first listen, just like when I heard Make It Look Good for the first time. Overall, very happy with the album. It’s like an updated E=MC2. Nice to have a fun record again. (Friday 16 November 2018; 01:21)

Re: Mariah meeting (85,944) (85,950) by Bill from the UK Wow, that sounds amazing and what a surprise. I hope one of you asked when we're getting the demo tape and why wasn't Slipping Away on Daydream and why wasn't Migrate a single haha. (Thursday 15 November 2018; 11:44)

Re: "Glitter" (85,926) (85,929) by Bill from the UK I gave it a spin the other day without knowing about this countdown thing. Nothing tops If We. What a great song, don't blame J.Lo for stealing it lol. And those runs on Lead the Way have got to be some of the best she ever put down on a record. Great album. Sorry, "soundtrack" lol.

Re: Caution top 4 (85,927) (85,928) by Bill from the UK It's what we love about her. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 21:09)

Caution top 4 (85,924) by Bill from the UK 1. With You 2. A No No 3. The Distance 4. GTFO But, I really do enjoy the top three equally. GTFO was a bit of a "meh" for me because it is, in my opinion, lazy songwriting. That said, really looking forward to the album on Friday and seeing everyone's thoughts on it. Especially how many tracks Licia hates haha. (Wednesday 14 November 2018; 19:38)

Re: All I want for my birthday is to see Mariah Carey (85,871) (85,893) by Bill from the UK That's really good that you got your tickets and will be seeing her. I hope you have a great time, I'm sure you will. I also hope you get to hear her sing her new songs for the first time, should be a real treat. (Tuesday 13 November 2018; 23:43)

Re: All I want for my birthday is to see Mariah Carey (85,865) (85,866) by Bill from the UK Hi Matini, I also don't think there's anything wrong in wanting to meet Mariah. I'd love to meet her one of these days as well. Have you considered a meet and greet ticket for one of her concerts? I know they're expensive and I think all you get is a photo and a couple of minutes with her, but if you have the disposable income, that's a great way to meet her, however brief.

Re: My All in Borobudur (85,814) (85,818) by Bill from the UK Um. It was strained and she did lip sync so... yeah. (Sunday 11 November 2018; 02:17)

Re: Rainbow cover (85,805) (85,808) by Bill from the UK I love the album cover. Other than Merry Christmas, all her album covers are at the darker end of the spectrum so Rainbow really stands out. It seems fresh and vibrant like the songs on the album. Plus MC looks amazing. If you’ve got it, flaunt it. And boy did she. (Saturday 10 November 2018; 20:58)

Re: Poor Rainbow, record rankings (85,749) (85,751) by Bill from the UK *TCTBTCTTAFM(MT) (Friday 9 November 2018; 12:48)

Re: Poor Rainbow, record rankings (85,738) (85,748) by Bill from the UK It's a shame it didn't get any votes, I think it's a great album. Except of course for Did I Do That. I do wish that Lauryn Hill collaboration had seen the light of day, and adding There For Me, which I believe was written during the time, to the record would have rounded it off a bit better. But who doesn't like Heartbreaker, CTTA, Bliss, Petals, Crybaby... great songs. (Friday 9 November 2018; 06:41)

Re: Japan why (85,730) (85,731) by Bill from the UK Japan usually get bonus tracks because it is actually cheaper to import the CD from another country. Therefore, to encourage local sales, most record companies add a bonus track, unique cover, or something extra to the Japanese release of an album. (Thursday 8 November 2018; 22:12)

Re: Mariah, Mariah (85,697) (85,704) by Bill from the UK Not this again. (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 13:46)

Re: Many thanks (85,691) (85,703) by Bill from the UK Just so you know, I didn't skip Boy. (Wednesday 7 November 2018; 13:43)

Re: Bipolar and vocal issues (85,674) (85,680) by Bill from the UK Haha I know it's like the main one lol. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 20:24)

Re: Bipolar and vocal issues (85,669) (85,676) by Bill from the UK Happy Birthday Licia. Hope you have a great day and many happy returns. I will play CB in your honour and have my own little CB party this evening. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 19:13)

Re: Bipolar and vocal issues (85,661) (85,665) by Bill from the UK Haha yes of course. That can take Migrate's place (the 19th number one). (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 16:11)

Re: Bipolar and vocal issues (85,662) (85,664) by Bill from the UK It was written in jest Chris, chill out. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 15:28)

Re: Bipolar and vocal issues (85,655) (85,658) by Bill from the UK Okay so to clear it up and make the definitive list of excuses, we have the following reasons for why MC can't sing anymore: 1. Nodules 2. Cold/lack of humidifier 3. Divorce proceedings 4. Alcohol abuse 5. Marijuana abuse 6. Prescription drugs 7. Thyroid 8. Bipolar 9. Michael Jackson's casket 10. Vocal preservation 11. Anthony Burrell 12. Corset 13. Stage fright 14. Clone of original dead Mariah (illuminati) 15. Tommy sabotage 16. J.Lo stole it 17. She's had kids 18. Nothing to prove so why bother There you go. An excuse for every number one. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 10:17)

Re: Blue Caution album cover (85,653) (85,657) by Bill from the UK Yep totally the wrong choice. The alternative cover is brilliant. I can't quite believe the Avatar/In the Zone cover is going to be timecapsuled like Butterfly, Music Box, Merry Christmas etc. I mean an album cover is forever and part of her legacy for generations after she has left this world. Even the pink caution tape with the blue eye peeking out was better than the actual cover we got. (Tuesday 6 November 2018; 10:10)

Re: No No (85,637) (85,648) by Bill from the UK Oh you don't like a Mariah song? Never thought I'd see the day hehe. (Monday 5 November 2018; 21:04)
