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

Infinity (52,308) by Bill from the UK Wow. There will no doubt be a plethora of messages about Infinity so I will keep it short and sweet. It really is one of her best, and a real contender for #19. Wishing Mariah every success and happiness for this new chapter. (Monday 27 April 2015; 8:43)

Mariah on vinyl / Edward (52,207) by Bill from the UK To those of you asking about Mariah vinyl, there is a website called musiconvinyl.co.uk that takes requests to reproduce albums on vinyl. They apparently take all suggestions seriously, and I'm sure if enough people requested the same album (like a group of fans agreed on the one album of Mariah's they'd want reproduced on HQ 180g vinyl) then you could all request it to get it noticed. The vinyl they produce on is much higher quality and heavier than that used for mass production with the original releases. More resistant to scratches and warping etc. Edward, thanks for the offer. That taping is also available on Sound Cloud, uploaded by the Mariah Network (they also uploaded the undubbed MTV Unplugged concert with a second take of Emotions and If It's Over messing up). Love the Infinity cover, Mariah looks beautiful as always. (Saturday 25 April 2015; 14:37)

Happy birthday Todd (52,170) by Bill from the UK I will have to emulate your celebrations when it's my turn in September. Many happy returns and enjoy your day with Mariah. (Friday 24 April 2015; 10:26)

Jake / You Need Me (52,156) by Bill from the UK I love You Need Me. I know for some it's the weakest track but I love it. I love how passionate her vocals are and her ad libs at the end are brilliant. I love how she sings "before you act so hastily" differently every time she approaches the line. I overused the word "love" in this post. But that's because I love You Need Me, and I love Mariah. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 21:16)

See ya later cuz (52,153) by Bill from the UK One of her best lyrics ever. Love me some Prisoner. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 19:11)

The debut (52,140) by Bill from the UK Glad to see the album get a lot of love in its 25th year. The debut is one of my most favourite Mariah albums ever. It was so classy and every song is a complete winner. There is not a single track I skip. I agree about everybody's comments on Alone In Love, it is a beautiful track and I love its arrangement as well. Prisoner is fantastic and I would "give my all" to hear her do the song and the rap live. It's just a beautiful album and I play it probably ten times a week. Always on the record player and my iPod to and from work. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 14:56)

Can't Let Go / Vegas news (52,100) by Bill from the UK I have listened to Can't Let Go probably more times than I have had hot dinners in my life. Today, whilst listening to my Emotions vinyl (sounds so good to me), for the first time in my life, I noticed the extra "you're all I know" Mariah whispers in the background in the last few choruses. How have I never heard this before? This is what is so great about her music. Decades after hearing her songs, I still notice nuances in the tracks I never had before. Does anyone else have similar stories? In other news, I was excited to read the Vegas show will have album tracks potentially performed. I think I would freak (caps) out (end caps) if she sang Prisoner live, complete with the rap. I am also really looking forward to hearing Someday and Love Takes Time again live, as she hasn't done them live since the Thanksgiving concert in 1993. (Tuesday 21 April 2015; 19:51)

To pass a few moments until April 27 (52,034) by Bill from the UK To pass a few moments until April 27. (Sunday 19 April 2015; 21:55)

Mimi L (52,000) by Bill from the UK Loving the new avatar, did you make it? (Saturday 18 April 2015; 13:22)

Meme Price et al (51,987) by Bill from the UK Dear Webmaster, can it please be a rule that unless a rumour has a corresponding source, it is not posted? During the build up to MIAM being released someone kept coming on saying they had inside information about the album, and every post they made turned out to be false. It's a waste of space, clogs up the board, and is immature. On a separate note, I agree I think the tracks will be split across two discs. If there was indeed a second disc of additional material, I'd be expecting the tracks to be listed on the back. (Friday 17 April 2015; 20:49)

Shelly (51,844) by Bill from the UK Shelly, you're loved by many on this board, as Annie Wilkes in Misery said "I'm your number one fan" lol. Don't take heed to anyone targeting you for daring to post positive and excited thoughts on a fan site dedicated to your favourite artist (which is supposed to bring like minded people together). We love you, appreciate you, and adore you. They can say anything they want to say, try to bring you down, but you won't face the ground, you will run steadfastly sailing out of their reach. Pay no attention to those cock-a-doo-dee dirty birds. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 19:11)

May / MC1989 (51,817) by Bill from the UK May, the album hasn't launched just yet so there may be more surprises. So far since the announcement we've had the brilliant cover reveal, news of a new single, the opportunity to get a Mariah print with the pre-order and, the best thing for me, the chance to own all her #1's on a vinyl compilation. The original #1's vinyl is very rare and expensive when it shows up for purchase. Who knows what else may come about nearer the release date - maybe the videos, or corresponding DVD of the Vegas show etc. MC1989, I agree about Fantasy. I know Mariah sees the remix as the real version of the song, but I do love the original version just as much, and it would have been nice to see it included. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 11:36)

Skip / Someday (51,815) by Bill from the UK I agree Skip. As much as I love the Unplugged version of Someday, the 7" Jackswing Mix would have been a better incentive. I've always preferred it to the album version, and it was the main radio version in the UK and the version included on all the single releases. I also agree it's probably truer to the original demo of the song rather than the over produced album version. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 11:30)

Andrew (51,775) by Bill from the UK You just can't stand to see her fans happy can you? You wanted to put a downer on the launch of a new era, and you succeeded. Congrats and thanks for once again spoiling the good mood of the board. I still cannot fathom why you waste your time coming here when you are not a fan of Mariah Carey. You criticise her look, her voice, her manner, her lifestyle choices, and now her music. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 0:13)

Why the disappointment? (51,744) by Bill from the UK I'm saddened to read so many fans are upset with the new album. Mariah always said it was just an update of the 1998 album to include the new #1's. I wasn't even expecting a new track until she tweeted about Infinity, although of course I would have loved there to be. It's worse because everyone was so excited during the album cover reveal. I've ordered my vinyl and I'm excited for it. I guess the tracks will be remastered like on The Collection. But like others have said, it's to tie in with the residency, and I imagine will be all over the Caesar's Palace shop for purchase during her stint there. (Monday 13 April 2015; 19:35)

(51,696) by Bill from the UK The new album is available on vinyl (exclamation mark). This is too much. (Monday 13 April 2015; 16:01)

Shelly (51,682) by Bill from the UK Hehe thanks Shelly, I don't think I've been this excited since there was all the buzz around the release of Touch My Body. I'm excited for what else is announced today. I hope we get the track listing when the album is open for pre-orders. And yes, it took a lot for me to change my avi as I was so attached to it, but Mariah and I are entering this new era together. Out with the old lol. (Monday 13 April 2015; 7:23)

#1's to Infinity (51,661) by Bill from the UK Wow. Brilliant. (Sunday 12 April 2015; 23:56)

Long Ago (51,648) by Bill from the UK Completely agree with you Billy. I was blasting out the track in my car the other day and thinking to myself how it was more than a hint of what was to follow. Would not have been out of place on Butterfly and still sounds stunning twenty years later. Can't believe I first heard it that long ago. See what I did there? (Sunday 12 April 2015; 21:27)

New album cover (51,645) by Bill from the UK I loved what I thought was going to be the new #1's album cover which is the headshot from the E=MC2 shoot used to promote the Vegas residency, but this new cover is even better. I do love the original #1's cover but this new one looks to be equally as good (58% at time of writing lol). Love the buzz going around about it. Well done Mariah and team and good luck for the residency, I'm really excited about what the rest of 2015 has in store. (Sunday 12 April 2015; 20:10)

Mimi L (51,586) by Bill from the UK I agree, for me Emancipation was her most consistently good album since Butterfly, though not to infer on the albums inbetween of course. Circles and Mine Again were great tracks. Mine Again wouldn't have been out of place on her earlier records, and Circles sounds retro yet completely up to date at the same time, it's great. Your Girl was for a long time my most favourite track on the album. I loved its simplicity, how summery it sounded, and the instrumentation. But my ultimate favourite has got to be To The Floor. I know many fans don't rate that track, but I just love it. Sounds so free and sexy. I'm debuting my new avatar (did you all miss the Reveal Bill countdown I was doing for two days?) as much as I love ABMB (it will I think always be my favourite single cover), after several years of using it I have switched to a blue filtered Emotions shot.

Reveal Mariah (51,558) by Bill from the UK Wow. Can I last 40 hours without exploding? (Friday 10 April 2015; 21:53)

Mariah's new manager (51,552) by Bill from the UK Shelly, you're wrong, she is not Mariah's new manager, she is a member of the illuminati. (Friday 10 April 2015; 17:40)

Dan (51,521) by Bill from the UK I agree. I'm hoping for a disc of the 18 #1s and another disc with new songs. Not an album's worth, but maybe 5 or so plus the demo tape from the debut would be enough for me. I also really hope the album includes AIWFCIY so it is the ultimate hits compilation. It's arguably her most well known song across the globe and is clearly her most popular. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 17:34)

Adam (51,484) by Bill from the UK What on earth are you talking about? Alienating JD? Where did that come from and what evidence do you have of that? (Wednesday 8 April 2015; 18:06)
