About anonymous from UK: Top 3 albums - Butterfly CharmBracelet Caution

Re: Celine vs Mariah (92,428) by anonymous from UK I love all three of the vocal trinity, and they are well-named as such. I share the same favourites as Andrew re Whitney, those being All The Man That I Need and I Believe in You and Me. I also love My Love is Your Love and It's Not Right, But it's Okay. A golden voice, yet one I often find bombastic. I actually prefer Celine to Whitney (I know, I know, shoot me). Falling into You is one of my favourite albums of all time. I Don't Know, a song from the album, is one of my favourite songs of all time, I find it very haunting, lyrically very moving and Celine's delivery is perfection. Also Fly from the same album, it's so delicate and heartbreaking. I understand what people say re her lack of emotion, but I still quite often, even after all these years, get goosebumps from her voice, and her French language albums are incredible; it's a treat to hear her sing in French. Then there's Mariah. There's not much more I can add about her voice that hasn't been said a million times already by about a billion people, but it really is something. Her voice is ethereal, and especially in her younger years, it really was like watching an angel perform. Very other-worldly. Mariah is also such an incredibly versatile songwriter, and truly has a song for most any occasion/feeling/vibe. From inspirational to sexy, from fierce to fragile, from triumph to despair, whatever you're going through, Mariah has a song that fits that mood. Regardless of any mistakes she has made, nobody can take away from her that she is one of the greatest voices to have ever lived and one of the greatest songwriters to boot. I have a vastly eclectic taste in music, and there is some truly spectacular music in this world, but Mariah for me will always be somewhat apart, in a league all of her own. In Outside she sings about always feeling that she didn't quite belong anywhere - she was correct, but rather than that being a dreadful thing, she is quite the rarity in a world of conformists that she will be her weird, wonderful, wacky self and make no apologies for it. It may not always serve her well, but there really is nobody quite like Mariah. (Friday 17 January 2020; 20:51)

Mariah and sales (92,168) by anonymous from UK Regardless of how much she has sold in terms of records, she's my favourite artist of all time. I really don't care about records, I care about enjoying good music, whether it's hers or someone else's. Putting inflated claims on her output doesn't make that output better, just her fans seem sillier and naysayers have more to mock. I love Mariah and her music because I genuinely feel it's some of the best music ever created, in a myriad of ways. Screw sales, sit, listen and enjoy. Whatever your flavour, Mariah probably has songs or albums that fit it. (Sunday 5 January 2020; 23:00)

Re: New album (92,063) (92,068) by anonymous from UK As much as I love your enthusiasm and wish for her to break as many records as possible, I truly don't feel it's just enough to break a record due to jumping on a popular artist. I know Mariah has so much more in her that means that she could potentially do it on her own merits. I think that would be really glory. I don't feel AIWFCIY as a "cheap shot" as that song has number one written all over it, but it could potentially be viewed that way. As it stands, I truly feel it isn't, at all, but let's wish more for Mariah to do it again as she stands. Of course, if she did do what you suggest and it got yo number one, for sure I'd applaud and be outrageously smug when I quote facts, but it would honestly feel shot. Just my thoughts. (Wednesday 1 January 2020; 04:33)

Happy new year, 2020 (92,067) by anonymous from UK Firstly just a huge happy new year to you all. 2019 (particularly the end) was phenomenal for Mariah, and as a lifetime fan, I loved and rejoice in it. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I feel she is family in a very particular way, that only an idol can be. She's so far yet so close to each of us, for our own personal reasons, and as such, I wanted to express my immense pride and admiration for her unparalleled success. Moving away from that success, I wanted to address the albums Caution just over a year on. As you all might remember, I adored the album when it was released, and continued to listen to it almost daily for about six months. It's over a year now, and I just wanted to share my current thoughts. Well, firstly, I have an "album" wall, where I buy vinyls and frames and display them. Only albums that very much have been instrumental in my life get to go on that wall. I have to say, almost all of MCs albums mean the world to me (sorry, Rainbow), but the four I currently have are Merry Christmas (which will be substituted once the Christmas insignia gets put away), Butterfly, Charmbracelet and Caution. Over a year later, I not only still love the album, I love it even more. I felt that Caution was a journey, a story, from start to finish. No song felt out-of-place, no production felt over or under produced. When I first heard the album and posted here, I often said it was "coherent". Whilst I still feel that way, I now understand the reason why. The reason why was it is genuinely, for me personally, where I felt Mariah started an album with an opening chapter, and then proceeded to tell the tale and then closed it in a way that felt like the arc of the story was finished. It felt "complete". The closest I feel she ever came to it previously was Daydream, but here I feel she just nailed that, almost story book way of writing an album. There are many albums she has that I feel are incredible and work as a whole, and others I feel are also incredible, yet more as a collection of songs as opposed to an experience. Caution, for me, was an experience as a whole, and not only is it now in my top three MC albums (sorry, E=MC2), but it's one of my favourite of all time. I really don't care about commercial success (I know she does, it as after all her bread and butter), but as someone who just connects to music that speaks to me in an intangible way, this album not only speaks, but sings to me. I love it. Happy new year, everyone. (Wednesday 1 January 2020; 04:25)

Mariah, the voice, Carey (89,289) by anonymous from UK So, as per usual, I have been watching YouTube today, and it knows I love MC more than any other. I always click on videos I've never seen before as, even if they are criticisms or bad vocals or performances, I want to be clued up and see/hear it. A few observations come from this. First up - I respect everyone's opinion (if based on validity and not just going at others) and Special K, I have to respect you and also say, I worship Whitney's voice. It's just too good. But. And I have to say this. As much as I respect your opinion and feeling, my own perspective is genuinely that nobody ever has been or ever will be as incredible a vocalist as Mariah. Whitney's voice was phenomenal, bombastic, OTT stupendous. If there had never been a Mariah Carey? Whitney wins hands down. But there is Mariah, and why I enjoy this discussion and debate so much is simply because it is a discussion, nobody can prove anybody right or wrong because there is no right or wrong. Mariah's music and voice, just touches me in a way that I can't even put into words. It's like she reads me from the inside out, and drags my feelings into reality. I grew up in a household dominated by Whitney Houston records, and I just loved that. But when I got to an age where I was the one listening to the music, Mariah was the one who changed me. My mom is Whitney and I'm Mariah (not via talent but my mom was a singer and I'm, well, not but it was so great to have such voices around me growing up). Like I mentioned though, I love that these conversations exist, and I'm super happy that we got to talk about two extraordinary artists on this fansite without unnecessary battles. Second point, going on from my frequent trips to YouTube, I saw a video today about the evolution of Mariah and more specifically, her voice. I will say straight up that nobody ever has sounded, before or since, more out of this world ethereal as MC between 90-96. However. If she had carried that exact same perfection into her almost 30 years in the music industry, she would be absolutely boring. There is so much speculation and wonder around her now, it creates a legend. From the speculation about what changed her voice, the question of whether she can even sing a note anymore to the bizarre yet wonderful conspiracy that a different person replaced her in 1997, that's what creates a legend. Someone who just sings flawlessly forever and gains numerous accolades from that has no need to showcase a personality. In fact, I know so many here believe the reason she is so hated because of her "diva" attitude, but I think it's more about the fact that when she first debuted, and for many years later, she sounded so ethereally incredible, it was so great got nasty little people to pick up that not only was she human, but sometimes couldn't control the voice that most people would die to have. Personally, I think she still showcases moments of vocal brilliance that couldn't be duplicated, but she is now a charisma. Not one of us here knows truly what she sings or what she says or how she presents herself is live or accurate (none of us can because we ain't there), but who Mariah is now is truly an icon simply because she is shrouded in myth and legend. A legend isn't created because they are simply too perfect, in voice and behaviour to be questioned; a legend is formed because of the simple fact that nobody outside of the close circle has any idea about the truth, the character, and the life of said legendary person. I've said it before and I'll say it again; as eccentric and kooky and weird as Mariah is, that's what makes up her appeal as legendary. And make no mistake, she is a legend. (Wednesday 24 April 2019; 01:50)

Outside (88,968) by anonymous from UK I'm still struck at how much of a profound impact this song has, after 22 years, and yet I find myself asking, why? It is profound. The lyrics are timeless; not so cheap and desperate to be considered light reading, yet neither Plato. Such real words, which even when you see them written on plain paper in front of you, are impactful. Couple that with the music, it's no wonder that this song still stands as a dan favourite. I challenge anyone to listen to this song, really listening and raking in the lyrics and the heartbreaking delivery and be unmoved. Especially the last "and, oh, and, oh, and, God knows, that you're standing on you're own". That delivery in and of itself cemented and continues to cement my adoration and love of this remarkable person we call MC. Such a dark place to be in, so perfectly captured, yet always, a hint of hope, of what just might, if what could just might, be. (Wednesday 3 April 2019; 06:35)

Re: Reception (88,948) (88,952) by anonymous from UK What a lovely post, and very true. Sadly most hugely artists are trashed until their starpower begins to wane, as it's always easy to trash the sun that can't be touched. Regardless of what many here might think or say, as time goes on, I think more and more are starting to appreciate Mariah not only for her selling power and talent, but her kooky, eccentric demeanour. I've always found it very endearing, and I've said it before yet it bears repeating - I truly think Mariah is nuts, and I don't lean her bipolar disorder. I think she's slightly unhinged, and I've always found that fascinating and entirely relatable. She is openly eccentric and odd, and that's super amazing. An individual who continues to present so in a world with so much pressure to present as this, that or the other. Anyway, tangent, but great post, and I agree. So proud to be a Mariah lamb, stan and fan. (Tuesday 2 April 2019; 03:11)

Caution (88,951) by anonymous from UK Yet again, have to check in and say I'm still listening to this album. When M.AIM was released, I loved it and enjoyed it, and some songs were stand out, but for whatever reason, it fell by the wayside for me very quickly, and it's one of my least revisited albums, although when I listen to it I still love it and see why I enjoyed it so much. Caution, however, as an album, is one that just doesn't leave my mind. It's so short, yet the perfect length; it leaves me wanting more but at the same time doesn't feel incomplete. In that regard, what an annoying album, haha. I love all of the songs (yes, all) individually, however, it truly shines when listened to from start to finish as a whole package. It's an album in the truest sense. It sounds just as great sober as it does drunk, quite the feat. I know this is my opinion, but I'm not over this album and I think it will be a long time till I am. It's a daily listen. The last MC album that had me so hooked was E=MC2, but I can already feel and see from my listening habits that Caution overtakes. MC has what she has almost what she always wanted now - an album of incredible music and moods with critical acclaim. Unfortunately, it has eluded sales, however that I am not surprised about. I, like many of you, believe that she has a surprise breakout hit still left in her, however, I'd take an album of this musical quality over huge hits anyway. I'm sure she feels differently however, as a consumer of the product, I feel I'm surely entitled to expresss this opinion. (Tuesday 2 April 2019; 02:55)

Re: Fly Like a Bird acapella (88,801) (88,803) by anonymous from UK Absolutely incredible and stunning. It's one of my closest MC songs to my heart, thank you for sharing. Loved to hear it this way. (Tuesday 26 March 2019; 17:42)

The truth about Mariah (88,795) by anonymous from UK As many other people have pointed out, not only will we never know the intricacies of Mariah's personal life vs what she chooses to put out for public consumption, it's also upsetting to learn that someone you admire so much may have tried to end their own life. Mariah is, as extraordinarily talented as she is, just a human. That means she's not immune to the mental traumas of everyone else. Whether she did or did not try commit suicide, we will never know. But I would honestly not be surprised if she did. She's a person above anything else, beyond the legend and the megastar, she's simply human. It's her life and business, she owes nobody an explanation about what her personal life entails. I think it's naive at best and downright insulting at worst to think that a person wouldn't think to end their own life when life gets too much and their own mind can't rationalise. Sadly, millions of people take their own lives, for a multitude of reasons. What we do know for a fact is she is very much alive, and thank god. I love Mariah so much, as much as I can as a fan who doesn't know the actual human. I try to look at life from the perspective that, we don't know each individual, even as much as it's tempting to think we do because of the very public persona. Do we all have an opinion on what we see? Sure. But just remember - however many people there are on this planet, around 7 billion I think right now, that means there are that many "realities". No two people see or experience the world exactly the same, our own reality is nothing more or less than how we see the world. Reality only really exists outside of human perspective, it's not a definite thing that definitely exists, because as humans we see things from our own limited points of view. The point of this is to say, none of us here on this board is in Mariah's circle, none of us know what's gone or has happened, and as such, we should reserve judgement or overtly emotional thinking when the topic of Mariah comes up. I personally just adore the woman, and offer my heartfelt love and support to someone who has indirectly enriched my life. (Tuesday 26 March 2019; 06:02)

Re: Still listening (88,679) (88,686) by anonymous from UK I was so upset by your message I almost considered changing my pic haha. Almost. (Tuesday 19 March 2019; 04:08)

Re: Caution: we're getting on each other's nerves (88,665) (88,677) by anonymous from UK Can't last Randy? Have you ever seen "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane"? I kid, of course, but I enjoy Mariah being a character more than I would enjoy her being what you describe. She's a megastar legend, not a regular person on the street. Frankly, people are becoming too boring and vanilla, I love MC and her eccentricities, I love that she's a dividing character who people either love or hate. She's a bit loopy, a bit unhinged, and great fun. If she wants to think she's 12 when she's 80, I'm all for it. Be yourself to the end, don't be a regular. She's nuts, I'm nuts, the world is nuts and I love it. (Monday 18 March 2019; 18:39)

Re: Still listening (88,667) (88,676) by anonymous from UK Haha Bill, I've gotta reiterate and I have said it before, I love Heartbreaker, CTTA, Bliss, Heartbreaker remix, Crybaby and TGIFY. I love so many songs from that album, but it just doesn't click or connect with me as a whole and so many songs I straight up don't like. It's MC's one mis-step for me, out of a catalogue of albums I adore, but I'm so happy it gets the love it does. Just because something doesn't connect with me, I don't think it's rubbish, just not my taste. Even the much loved Petals does not a lot for me, depending on how I feel. It's very hard for me to pick my fave MC albums (right now I'd say Emotions, CB and Caution but that changes all the time) but if you asked my least favourite, it would be Rainbow without hesitation. (Monday 18 March 2019; 17:51)

Still listening (88,663) by anonymous from UK To Caution daily, still loving it, still not caring a toss about sales. It's really one of the best albums of Mariah's career, from the hypnotic opening of GTFO, to the sweetly beautiful With You, the warning in Caution, the sass of A No No, the summer loving of The Distance, the epic Giving Me Life, the sexiness of One More 'Gen, the throwback staples of 8th Grade and Stay Long Love You to the legend of Portrait. I love all Mariah's albums apart from Rainbow (sorry, not sorry), but the Caution album truly cements for me why I've been a fan, a lamb, whatever, of the same artist since I was 13 years old. Mariah really makes the music I want to hear and that's impressive for one person. To me, she is the greatest voice of all time, one of the greatest songwriters and a true testament to the power of talent. Still super pissed at myself for not buying tickets for the show at the Royal Albert Hall. (Monday 18 March 2019; 00:45)

A No No video (88,404) by anonymous from UK Genuinely think it's crap. I love Mariah so much, I think it's just a shame she had these "videos" now that are just so awful. Who the hell decides this and why? I cannot imagine a conversation that goes like, "Remember when Mariah was in a train cart and all these dancers were there and there was blue and pink lighting, I love it." Seriously? Love the song, but like many of her recent videos, I'll never watch it again. I got the music, that's something. She's almost always had those vanity shots which is fine, but there was some kind of substance to it. Dreamlover, for example. Not much to it but it's fun and suits the mood of the song. A No No video just doesn't have anything to it. Nothing to do with the song, or the lyrics, it's just poor. (Friday 8 March 2019; 20:02)

A note on Caution (88,378) by anonymous from UK So it's now March and I still listen to the Caution album daily, and I love it more with each listen. The singles GTFO and With You are absolute perfection for Mariah Carey records in 2018 (going into 2019) and the rest of the album is just so addictive. It is not an album full of potential killer singles like E=MC2, and although that's what sells nowadays, I'm so, so happy that this album is just that - an album. A lot, if not most of my most treasured MC songs are album cuts (I'm looking at you Sent From Up Above, Subtle Invitation and For The Record in particular), however, back to the Caution adoration. Why do I love this album so much and no longer care about number one hits and public relevance? Well, the answer lies within the fact that Mariah makes music that still resonates with me, that I want to hear; sometimes I feel like Mariah makes music just for me, because she seldom dips below music I don't want in my life (Rainbow, eurgh, don't get it). She makes music that I can enjoy and brings me satisfaction as a soundtrack to my daily life. Mariah is now, whether we as fans, her team or Mariah herself accepts or likes, a legacy act. She is a legend in the music world, unsurpassed and quite unbeatable in terms of impact. Caution may be a sales flop; in fact, I'd argue that's not an argument now. 191,000 copies worldwide sucks. It's crap. But why am I not worried about it, or even care? Because the music is authentic and believable, it's music by my favourite artist, and I believe in it. I take pride in saying Mariah is my favourite artist of all time. Most, if not all, artists 30 years into their careers become legacy acts (if they can make it that long) because times change, people move on, and the taste of the general public shifts. Mariah makes music, to my ears and sensibilities, that is still the "Mariah" sound. People have moved on, and that's ok. I don't begrudge anyone loving Ariana, Ed, Adele, whoever, hey, that's life. But the fact is, at age 48, MC has finally delivered an album that even critics applaud, it feels honest and it feels, dare I say it, like Mariah not only is truly free to make the music she wants, but like music she's having so much fun making. I think this is reflected in her recent tour shows, where she has drastically revamped the set list. I didn't buy tickets because I've seen Mariah twice, I've seen the set list and I'm short on cash; I now wish to god I'd bought tickets to this concert tour, because I wish I could witness Mariah finally having fun with her own catalogue. Let us just remember, as much as we love these creations of hers, they are, and always will be, hers. They are her children, and she should damn well be proud of them, her achievements, and herself. Mariah may be incredibly flawed, and doesn't hide it well, but I'd say that actually, looking beyond the millions of dollars in the bank and the diva facade, it makes her so ridiculously relatable and human. And for that, I say out loud and for evermore; I am a Mariah fan, lamb, Stan, whatever. I just love Mariah, no Caution needed. (Friday 8 March 2019; 05:51)

Mariah day (88,144) by anonymous from UK So I've had a full on MC fest today. It started with listening to the Caution album, then moved on to the Daydream album and now I'm sat here watching the full Tokyo Daydream tour on YouTube, which I've shared on Facebook as well. I'm still to this day in absolute awe of Mariah, and watching this concert just once again reaffirms just why she is one the most legendary artists of all time, and of course, my all time personal favourite. It just doesn't get better. It can't be stated enough, by enough people, just how phenomenal and truly one of a kind this woman's voice truly is. I'm absolutely and always will be a huge, proud, ecstatic lamb. And on a different note - it felt a little like spring today, hopefully we can feel the winter losing its grip here in the northern hemisphere. Bring on the summer. (Thursday 21 February 2019; 17:45)

Butterfly (87,835) by anonymous from UK I think what makes Butterfly Mariah's magnum opus is that it is entirely timeless and a near perfect example of its genre. Lyrically rich, vocally beautifully fragile (in that the full voiced vocals were, up to this point, their most absent and the emotion behind the singing was palpable), Butterfly truly defies time and charts. It was written at the exact moment of a person's life where immense change was occurring, and Mariah was able to document that via music and song, in a way very rarely heard. Usually we get a before and after, but Butterfly as a body of work truly represents a transition, an all consuming, powerful, emotional, hurtful, overwhelming change. Something was captured here, it's almost ethereal, and there will never be another Butterfly moment, there cannot be. Another transition may occur, or many, but none will ever be that huge, that intrinsic to a persons life again, and being able to translate that into something that can be recorded is mind blowing. Yes, I am very emotional you can call the shrink, but I feel things, and I think that's why Butterfly is so special, so unique. It may not be your favourite, it's not even my favourite, of Mariah's albums, but it's certainly up there, and it does stand alone, on its own, and it is, I feel, a triumph of human musicality and translating emotion into word and song. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 23:52)

Re: Rainbow (87,725) (87,734) by anonymous from UK Ahh Billy, I loved this post because it's actually my least favourite MC album by miles, and the one I could most live without. I'm glad it gets so much love though as I don't think it's a bad album at all, I just can't seem to connect with it for some reason. It's odd because there are so many songs I love, HB, CTTA, Bliss, HB remix, Crybaby, Rainbow interlude and TGIFY, but I enjoy them as tracks, and not as an album. The rest of the songs I just - I don't know. It's a mystery. It's the one album Mariah has produced that I just don't get haha, but again, even though I'm not feeling it, I'm glad others are and I can tell it's not a bad album. Also love the HB/IYSEBL remix y'all talking about, I actually love the remix album and I'm that guy at the gym listening to it ha. Side note: I haven't listened to Caution in two days and I actually miss it, I'm having withdrawals, so I'm going to have to listen to it now before sleep. I am a Caution addict, and if there's a cure for this, I don't want it, I don't want it (corny, sorry, but also related to Rainbow, as I love Love Hangover/Heartbreaker mix as well). (Sunday 27 January 2019; 23:55)

The blame game (87,667) by anonymous from UK Wow, ok, there are a lot of strange things being said at the moment on this board. I'll add my two cents and maybe someone else will find what I've got to say strange. Do I think Mariah is a poor, helpless victim here? No. Do I understand childhood traumas and traumas experiences as an adult impact on a person? Yes. Do I think that gives a person a free pass to act how they want, when they want, and yet always get to play the victim and cry wolf when the going gets tough or things don't go quite the way they hoped? No I absolutely bloody do not. Mariah has shared countless times the traumas she has experienced, and whilst I commend somebody relaying their experience, that also means that she is aware those times could have a negative impact on her mental health and well-being and so there is absolutely a responsibility to oneself to seek help, whether that be therapy, medication, religion, whatever. We have all, and I mean pretty much every human being on the planet experienced our own traumas that may impact on our decisions and behaviour down the line, however that doesn't mean we can do as we wish consequence free and expect people to brush it off due to our past negative experience. On the flip side of it, whatever Mariah has done in private, as long as she wasn't seriously physically or mentally abusing or hurting anyone, well, as unsavoury as some may find her personal life, that is indeed what it is - personal. It should be kept that way, and looking to release the videos or blackmail MC with the threat is down to one thing and one thing only - financial gain. A true victim of horrific circumstances doesn't care to share videos unless there is a cash settlement, they would want to see justice done. I don't really care if Mariah is snorting coke off a hookers tits in those videos, I don't want to see them, and I don't think it's anybodys damn business. We do have to very much bear in mind, that the public persona is just that - a persona, we all have one to some degree, which can be quite different to what it's like when we're at home and we think nobody (outside of our circle) is watching. To summarise - Mariah is not eternally a victim, yet as a human prone to make mistakes, she is also entitled to a personal life which is kept away from public eyes, and any attempt to violate that should be shot down.

Re: Mariah sues personal assistant (87,634) (87,643) by anonymous from UK Wait, what have I done? (Saturday 19 January 2019; 16:45)

Caution (87,640) by anonymous from UK Since Christmas and the whole festive period has thankfully left us (sorry to be a Scrooge, I just wasn't feeling it this season haha), I'm back to my usual routines, with an added guest - the album, Caution. I literally listen to it at least once a day. I loved it at first listen and it seems to get better the more I listen. The album length is perfect; I neither want more nor less, and it feels like a finished story by the albums close. It feels to me like a novel; the only other MC album I've felt that way about is Butterfly. And just like Butterfly, Caution is a novel I want to reread time and time again. Love it. To hell with charts, whether fans or MC herself cares about them, I don't give a damn anymore. I'll listen to what makes me happy or what I love, and Caution ticks those boxes and many more. I can't gush enough and I ain't sorry about it. (Saturday 19 January 2019; 16:33)

Scandal (87,638) by anonymous from UK Whatever is on those tapes, I don't really care. That, however, is not the point. Whereas I won't judge or even give a damn what she does in private, the sanctimonious public-at-large who have never put a toe wrong in their lives will be baying for blood. I'm sure we all here have done things were aren't proud of or had dark periods in our lives. I'd rather we keep it loving forward as the past can't be changed. Those lawyers had better be on their A game, I don't wanna see Mariah dragged for her personal life, please can we concentrate on the incredible career? That comment is to the world at large not to the Archives family btw. (Saturday 19 January 2019; 16:28)

Happy new year (87,330) by anonymous from UK Wishing all lambs, fans and everyone else a happy new year, and sending sincerest good wishes for us all to have a hapy, healthy and successful 2019. Tomorrow (New Years Day) I turn 30 and I’d just like to say, thank you to Eric for this site which has been in my life since I was 13 years old, and to all the board members, old and new, for keeping this little party going. Onwards and forever upwards. (Monday 31 December 2018; 15:39)

Re: Christmas (87,325) (87,329) by anonymous from UK That's a great line, Bill, very appropriate. I remember exactly what I said to her. "Hey Mariah, the show was amazing. What do you think of the ensemble?" Yes, I actually said that. She told me "fabulous, dahhhhling" in that sexy drawl of hers and I walked out. I'd waited all my life to see her, and all I could ask Mariah Carey was whether she liked my outfit using a well known Mariahism. It's such a blur, if I didn't have a picture, I'd genuinely not believe it actually happened and just think it was a dream. (Monday 31 December 2018; 15:37)
