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

Re: Glitter (90,633) (90,641) by Billy from Greece
This is actually a beautiful song.

Re: MC's tone (90,639) (90,640) by Billy from Greece
Stephen Thomas Erlewine was most likely paid by Tommy to write that scathing review. If you target and undermine the artist's main marketing tool, which in this case was Mariah's voice, what is the artist left with? For whatever Charmbracelet is, that review was beyond biased, especially given the time of its publication. Same goes for his disturbing review of "Glitter". His style of writing speaks arrogant prick.

Amsterdam concert (June 13) (89,800) by Billy from Greece
Once more I regret not booking a ticket on time. Ideally, I'd go to the Amsterdam concert. Is anyone else going?

"Vanishing" (NARM 1990) (89,778) by Billy from Greece
What documentary is this from? This is an unseen clip of MC performing "Vanishing" at the NARM convention. Any more info on the source, though?

Mariah - "A Deeper Love" (Aretha) (89,598) by Billy from Greece
This came out of the blue. I love the original and also love Mariah's snippet.

Super great post and finally a well-informed perspective.

"Can't Let Go" (February 2019) (89,523) by Billy from Greece
She sounds so soulful here. Musically, in terms of melody and structure, "Can't Let Go" is one of the most enchanting songs I've ever heard. Lyrically, it just cuts way too deep.

Charmbracelet / SHM-CD (89,195) by Billy from Greece
I just got the SHM-CD version of "Charmbracelet" and I have to admit that the mixing is superior to the standard CD. There is a clarity in the vocals and a balance between the vocals and the music that offer a much smoother and way more enjoyable experience compared to the original CD. I could say that "Charmbracelet" truly shines in this format. I'm so happy.

"Alone In Love" (89,052) by Billy from Greece
Can we show this absolute gem some love? One of the first songs that I fell in love with, and one of the benchmarks of Mariah's sound in my opinion. She seems to also consider it special, given that she has mentioned it several times (most recently the Genius interview). When the demos leaked, AIL's demo was also included. It was slightly different and equally haunting. It's the only one you can't find online anymore. Just in thought that the nightmare camp has stolen the demo tape, I want to very, and I mean very, bad things to them.

Fantasy Def Club Mix (Boston) (89,034) by Billy from Greece
I am obsessed with the new elongated "on and on, and on and on" here

MOAIA (89,033) by Billy from Greece
It was a gloomy day here today and I listened to "Memoirs" after quite a while and it fit the mood beautifully.

Loris Holland (88,837) by Billy from Greece
I just noticed that Loris Holland is featured on keyboards on the three Big Jim songs on the "Mimi" album. I thought his only contribution was on "Merry Christmas". Interesting.

"Bryan-Michael Cox wants justice for Mariah Carey" (88,347) by Billy from Greece
I had not seen this before.

"I Still Believe" (Jay Leno) (87,733) by Billy from Greece
A flawless performance and one of my personal favorites. Gorgeous tone, I adore the alternative to the studio version notes, gorgeous face. If only I could pause time.

Re: Heartbreaker / If You Should Ever Be Lonely (87,724) (87,729) by Billy from Greece
The ad libs and all the extra runs in this remix are crazy good.

Rainbow (87,725) by Billy from Greece
I've been loving "Rainbow" a lot lately. This album has always given me the feeling of a "big budget" production. I love the mastering of the record. There is a clarity in sound and in Mariah's vocals that was not present in her previous albums. Jam & Lewis also added a "spaciousness" in the ballads that results in an almost cinematic feel if that makes sense. Despite the aspects that may date it ("X-Girlfriend"), it comes across as a very "comfortable" album for Mariah. I adore the vocals in "Can't Take That Away", particularly the ones in the ending after the bridge. Even though it's only one minute long, "Vulnerability" is one of my favorite Mariah pieces. Same goes for "Rainbow (Interlude)", which I've been singing a lot to myself lately. I want a deluxe edition of this album with all the great remixes included.

Re: Mariah sues personal assistant (87,582) by Billy from Greece
Good for you Mariah. That "assistant" was equally disgusting with the rest of the clan. It's amazing that we could see, even through the media, the immense damage that was lurking yet poor Mariah couldn't. I totally understand, though, how she fell victim of these blackmailers. When you're totally devastated due to personal circumstances (and the second divorce was enough to overwhelm her) it is likely that you do things out of character. Such disgusting people. I'm so glad Mariah "woke up in time". Parasites is an understatement for these scums.

Mariah's "Christmas" climbs to No. 3 on Billboard (87,348) by Billy from Greece
The woman is a legend. Happy new year.

Walter (87,326) by Billy from Greece
Since his name has been discussed a lot lately, here's Mariah's take.

"Glitter" movie commercial / "Firecracker" (87,310) by Billy from Greece
I remember reading that on the initial trailers of "Glitter" you could hear either the original version of "Loverboy" sampling "Firecracker" or just "Firecracker". I just found this so it verifies it. Not sure if it is just the sample or the original "Loverboy" though. As I re-watch the trailer, I think that it is the original "Loverboy" that is played towards the end because the sample is slowed down (compared to the original "Firecraker") and you can hear parts of the vocals as we now know them (namely, the opening of the song before the verses). This is very intriguing because I can somehow imagine how the melody of the chorus would fit on top of the "Firecracker" sample. You can actually sort of sing it following the sample's melodic direction. To be honest, I think I prefer the "Candy" sample, though I can see why a coherent melody was not as prominent in the chorus of "Loverboy" with "Candy" as its basis. Maybe it's the familiarity factor, maybe it's because I've associated "Firecracker" with that other lady's inferior song, I don't know, but I still love "Loverboy" as it is. Interesting discovery, nonetheless.
