About Bill from the UK: I love Mariah more than you do.

London Daydream Tour Attendee.

Abraham (52,735) by Bill from the UK
"Infinity is terrible. Just accept it and move on. As I stated before, 'next' song please." No it isn't. Your opinion isn't gospel, it's just an opinion. I think it's a great song, accept that and move on.

Hmmmm (52,730) by Bill from the UK
If Mariah sang I Am Free, When I Saw You, Long Ago and Melt Away live from the Daydream album in the future, she would have performed the entire album live. I don't think any others are as close to being completed. Maybe the debut, but I can't see her being as likely to belt out You Need Me and Prisoner et al as the aforementioned, though I'd die with happiness if she did.

Chill out / the real meaning of Infinity (52,703) by Bill from the UK
Can we all just settle down for a moment. I mean, wow. If the song is indeed about her and her husband's relationship ending, then look at it like from her perspective. She had committed to Nick "eternally", and then something so bad happened that they are where they are now. Maybe turning this desperate situation around is a coping mechanism for her. Rather than releasing Camouflage part 2, she's trying to get over her heartbreak by indicating it wasn't that big a deal in the first place. The tragedy is that that couldn't be further from the truth, which in a way, makes a song that on the surface is fun and light hearted with its lyrics, all the more heartbreaking. "I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it, and I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you, but in reality I'm slowly losing my mind, underneath the 'guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside." Life imitates art indeed.

Boyz II Men (52,670) by Bill from the UK
What David said. The thing is, it was an incredibly low move, Mariah was getting it from all angles after the Rockefeller isolated microphone leak, including many posters on here, and Nate waded in and publicly and condescendingly more or less said she was in need of help. Any real friend, who had those sort of concerns, would address them privately with the individual, not air them for all to see on his damn Facebook. Even if they had lost touch over the years, a call to her management company asking for her to contact him was all it would have taken. It was an awful and insulting move on his part, and if Mariah is willing to forgive him and remain friends after that, then she is a better person than me.

Ben / European track listing (52,637) by Bill from the UK
Hi Ben, Against All Odds is included because the version with Westlife hit #1 in the UK I'd imagine. It would seem weird to put out a #1's album that omits her #1's in that region. Just like how Without You was included on the original European release. It's bittersweet though because I hate that some great songs have been sacrificed, but then I equally love those that have replaced them lol. Such is life.

I'll be there (52,582) by Bill from the UK
Oh my days. I'll Be There is literally on the radio (Smooth FM) as I type this. She sounds so good on the airwaves. Unplugged is my favourite album and I'll Be There is of course a favourite. Her version just eclipses the original in so many ways. Oh this is heaven.

Martyn / Skip (52,529) by Bill from the UK
Martyn, I get what you're saying about Andrew, but it's just getting tired and boring now. I could have bet my life that he'd post something negative. Everyone else who isn't blown over by Infinity have expressed their opinions with good grace and respect, Andrew has called Mariah arrogant and aloof in his post. I still am at a loss as to why he comes here. Skip, great job with the re-edit, it actually works really well, except I do miss the opening "ooh aah's". I keep hearing the ooh aah's behind the "to infinityyyyy" refrain and think they'd also work in the background there. But that's just me.

Shocked (52,394) by Bill from the UK
I am really shocked that there's been a lot of dislike expressed for the song here. I was swept up from the first "ooh aah's" immediately. I fell in love on first listen and I've been playing it non stop (never been more thankful for a delayed train in my life haha). I'm glad the webmaster's "thumbs up if you like" post got a massive response though. I wish those fans would be more vocal on here (exclamation mark). I think this is pure ear candy, love everything about it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

See ya later cuz (52,153) by Bill from the UK
One of her best lyrics ever. Love me some Prisoner.

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.

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.

To pass a few moments until April 27.

Loving the new avatar, did you make it?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(51,696) by Bill from the UK
The new album is available on vinyl (exclamation mark). This is too much.

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.
