About Billy from Greece: I don't know, and neither do you.

Charmbracelet - 20 years (101,726) by Billy from Greece Wow, I can't believe it's been twenty years. Many memories around this album. In retrospect, I really enjoyed that time in Mariah's career. I'm going to give it a spin right now. (Saturday 3 December 2022; 20:05)

W magazine photoshoot (101,694) by Billy from Greece One of her best photoshoots in recent years. I love that she's wearing pants lately. It suits her so much. (Monday 28 November 2022; 11:42)

VH1 Divas 2000 (101,690) by Billy from Greece Although no one can know for sure what really happened, it would be better if those who post "sources" check their credibility first. To have Mariah in 2000 say something along the lines of "someone needs to tell that bitch she works for my husband" sounds not only farfetched but downright ridiculous. First of all, Mariah was already divorced from Tommy for two years by that point. I don't care if those who wrote this article worked in the production of the show. Each one has their own point of view and their own filtered style when documenting an event. And clearly, by inserting false information makes their claim even less valid.

Re: What MC albums have you never bought? (101,438) (101,441) by Billy from Greece The Ballads has some nice pics from the 2008 Elle photoshoot, where the album cover also comes from. #1 to Infinity actually has nice liner notes as well as some rare pics, so I think that's more worth getting. You can also find videos of unboxing of these albums on YouTube so as to get a better picture. (Wednesday 12 October 2022; 14:32)

Re: Another taste of honey (101,268) (101,269) by Billy from Greece Check this out. It's pretty much an audio documentary on Butterfly and it lasts a couple of hours. (Monday 19 September 2022; 21:07)

Rolling Stone interview (101,239) by Billy from Greece By far one of her best interviews. Same goes for the interviewer. (Saturday 17 September 2022; 01:52)

Rolling Stone interview (101,236) by Billy from Greece Say what you want about Mariah being one way or another, but when I hear her radio interviews I get the same feeling I've always felt since I fell in love with her in the early 90s. So knowledgeable, a true musician. Really worth listening. (Saturday 17 September 2022; 01:08)

Everything Fades Away (background vocals live) (100,972) by Billy from Greece And let's not forget this one. (Sunday 14 August 2022; 17:15)

Mariah's recent output (100,971) by Billy from Greece As I've been listening to Mariah's output of the past few years, among them "We Belong Together (Valentine's Mix Extended)", "Heroes/Hero/Joy to the World" and "Somewhat Loved", I have to say once more kudos to Mariah for her creativity. I love the vocals, the productions and they sound great as a whole as well. I also love this performance of "Can't Let Go" from 2019. Full of passion, elegance and musicality. (Sunday 14 August 2022; 15:42)

"Through The Rain/Make It Happen" (100,970) by Billy from Greece Another great medley and excellent (very recent) performance. (Sunday 14 August 2022; 15:17)

"Never Too Far/Hero" (100,969) by Billy from Greece I was recently listening to my "Never Too Far/Hero" CD-single and I have to say that this medley, this performance in particular, does not get enough credit. Really heartfelt performance, understated yet powerful. I also love the cover art. (Sunday 14 August 2022; 14:44)

Re: What's on your MC rotation these days? (100,564) (100,578) by Billy from Greece I'm very much into her club remixes lately, as well as the urban remixes. (Saturday 25 June 2022; 19:28)

"Boy (I Need You) (Remix)" (100,552) by Billy from Greece I know "Boy" is probably one of the least favorite songs on Mariah's catalog. I never had an issue with it, especially within the context of "Charmbracelet", but the official remix (found on the single) is actually way hotter. No re-sung vocals, but the beat and slight restructuring of the song take it a step further. I highly recommend it. (Wednesday 22 June 2022; 16:49)

Re: More Rarities (vol. 2) (100,336) (100,343) by Billy from Greece I love this list. "Make You Happy" is a top favourite of mine and I would so love to hear Mariah do "Lillie's Blues (Turn You Loose)". (Saturday 28 May 2022; 09:47)

Re: Why I want another #1 (100,339) (100,342) by Billy from Greece Great post, Nikki. I agree in all respects. The same could be said about Diana Ross, at least post-Motown (just like for Mariah post-Sony). These ladies just didn't want to play ball. (Saturday 28 May 2022; 09:45)

Home for the Holidays (2001) (100,086) by Billy from Greece Some lovely undubbed moments in this footage. (Monday 4 April 2022; 19:14)

The Roof (Full Crew Club Mix) (100,085) by Billy from Greece Anyone else loving this remix? So moody, mysterious and cool. (Monday 4 April 2022; 13:30)

Re: How Greatest Hits should've played out (99,437) (99,448) by Billy from Greece I totally agree. It's sad that thirty years into her career the available greatest hits set focuses only on her first decade. I would love an elaborate retrospective but we ain't getting that. We got The Rarities though, which I absolutely loved, so that's something. (Sunday 16 January 2022; 21:58)

New song (98,855) by Billy from Greece Love it. Very sophisticated arrangement. (Friday 5 November 2021; 19:55)

The Adventures of Mimi (live at East Rutherford) (98,666) by Billy from Greece Great show. Love the raw vocals, so much more compared to the edited Anaheim show. (Tuesday 28 September 2021; 15:58)

Ex-Factor (98,555) by Billy from Greece It's only a snippet (albeit sweet) from the Rainbow tour but still it sounds so good hearing Mariah on my favorite Lauryn Hill track. (Friday 27 August 2021; 09:41)

Hero 2007 (98,499) by Billy from Greece I've been looking for this since forever! (Friday 6 August 2021; 18:38)

Home for the holidays 2001 - news report (98,485) by Billy from Greece This is rare and a true gem, with undubbed snippets of her performances that night, which were all gorgeous. I can't believe it's been twenty years since the Glitter era. (Monday 2 August 2021; 20:22)

Revisiting Whitney and Mariah's 2001 megadeals (97,795) by Billy from Greece Great, informed article. (Saturday 10 April 2021; 22:07)

Re: Top 5 music video eras (97,634) (97,639) by Billy from Greece Love your list enwar, although I would add Rainbow there as well. And yes, she was such a stunner during #1's. That super short scene of her in a blue dress walking on the street in the beginning of Sweetheart is so elusive and captivating. (Saturday 20 March 2021; 19:40)
