About MusicfanJ from Germany: I'm a fan of Mariah since Daydream came out.

A Daydream release in 2024 (106,263) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yey, I don't get the hype too. Perhaps it's because there is almost no competition. Rihanna and Beyoncé are more entertainers too than singers with a wow effect. When I think of the 90ies, Whitney, Mariah, Céline. They were really the vocal trinity. I'm so thankful that I witnessed the golden years. The same with the male singers. Can you imagine an earth song today like Michael did back then in 95 or 96? The popular music scene has become so boring except some rare newcomers. (Tuesday 23 April 2024; 14:24) this is a reply to message 106,260

A Daydream release in 2024 (106,260) by Jamie from UK Really don't get the whole Taylor Swift thing. She's good but she's not that good. I just do understand why there is so much hype about her. (Tuesday 23 April 2024; 13:47)

Not surprised (106,261) by MusicfanJ from Germany People remember Mariah songs too. Maybe not Heartbreaker, but Vision of Love, Emotions, Dreamlover, Hero, Without You, Fantasy and Always be my Baby are deep on the minds of almost everyone if they think of Mariah. I mean the grown-ups not the kids or teens. Nothing against Mary J. Blidge [sic], but that she will be on that Hall and Mariah not is a joke. A bad one. I don't get it. It's cool that you're back.

Not surprised (106,258) by Randy from USA I just think Mary is more respected in the industry and that culturally Mary represents something for soul music. People take her seriously. Mariah is great for a throwback, a whistler, a relic to be thawed out each November. I think these perceptions is where Mariah's image hurts her. I remember one of my Whitney fans responses to my dig that Mariah had more number ones. He said "People remember Whitney songs." I wonder how many non-fans know the difference between Fantasy, Heartbreaker and Honey. Anyway, I'm back. Did ya'll miss me? P.S. I was more shocked that Sinead, Sade didn't get in. P.P.S. How messy would it be if Madonna inducted Cher lol. (Tuesday 23 April 2024; 01:30)

Lenny Kravitz Human (106,243) by MusicfanJ from Germany I just heard his new song on the radio. What a cool song with a good and positive vibe with lyrics which are clean and not vulgar. Plus a real melody. Thanks to Mr. Kravitz that he brings back music that is music and not just "modern noise". I don't know if he and Mariah are really dating, but I would love a true duet from them both. Forget Bruno Mars and Co. Mariah and Lenny would rock and roll. And we could get a duets album.

Anytime you need a friend (106,241) by MusicfanJ from Germany Since I'm celebrating MB30 endlessly , I'm still amazed and always will about AYNAF. One of her best songs for sure. Mariah at her best, the melody, the lyrics and the outstanding voice that touches my heart until today. The Price sisters were wonderful too. On a side note: I love Mariah's stage presence. I've seen her four times and everyone was enchanted. She's not an entertainer but her aura is magical. She was rocking the Charmbracelet tour and the Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour. Of course many others too, I just mentioned the ones I visited. With the Vegas concerts, I also think it's not really Mariah's thing. She needs to be creative again (in the future) as someone allready said. Mariah will surprise us, I'm sure. (Sunday 21 April 2024; 10:17)

Someday (106,235) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I was surprised too. I think it wasn't a single. Maybe the store manager was a fan. I also often [hear] Emotions, must be a favorite for shopping playlists. (Saturday 20 April 2024; 12:28) this is a reply to message 106,228

Someday (106,228) by Tevin from USA Wow, they played Thanks for Nothing. Was that even a single? (Friday 19 April 2024; 19:52)

Someday (106,220) by MusicfanJ from Germany The same here. I often hear Mariah while shopping. It's always such a nice, good feeling. Songs which were played in stores: Hero, Fantasy, Make it happen, ABMB, It's like that, We belong together, Thanx for nothin', Endless love. And we all know what happens during December. (Friday 19 April 2024; 12:27) this is a reply to message 106,216

Someday (106,216) by Tevin from USA I was shopping at my local supermarket (Meijer), and they played Someday while I was shopping. It was awesome hearing it. I don't know who runs the Meijer chain of stores, but I swear I always hear Mariah's music and less popular #1 singles played while I'm shopping. (Friday 19 April 2024; 01:24)

MB 30 (106,191) by MusicfanJ from Germany I still enjoy and love the three CD edition so much. The Amazon reviews are also all positive and mostly five stars. It's such a big treasure. Now I just need the Rarities part two and maybe I can wait a little more for new music. Have a nice day/evening lambs. (Tuesday 16 April 2024; 18:18)

Musicals (106,104) by MusicfanJ from Germany I agree with you. Glitter is not a musical at all. Just a music movie with drama and autobiographical elements. Hmm the worst, it's really not that bad. I still have it on DVD. It was my first DVD together with "A river runs through it" back then in 2001. Memories. (Thursday 4 April 2024; 20:24) this is a reply to message 106,101

Musicals (106,101) by Victoria from USA So collider.com named Glitter the worst musical ever. Cats was number 2. Does anyone consider Glitter a musical? I'm not saying it's amazing, but it's not a "musical". (Thursday 4 April 2024; 16:47)

New single (106,094) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow that sounds interesting and promising. I'm very excited for it. I have a feeling Mariah will surprise us again this time. By the way, she really looks fantastic in the new pics. (Tuesday 2 April 2024; 19:33) this is a reply to message 106,092

New single (106,092) by Shezz from Pk The fan account did say the next day it was an April Fools thing. The insider account says she is set to make her long awaited come back this month. I hope that means a single, not her Vegas residency because she has been performing. Also, the insider says MC16 is a return to pop for MC with a lot of uptempo, disco and euro dance numbers. I hope that's true. She's not gotten anywhere with her midtempo RnB for a while now. Butterfly Lounge on the other hand is a total jazz project. How exciting is that? I have a feeling she will drop something soon either right before or right after Vegas. (Tuesday 2 April 2024; 17:01)

New photos (106,058) by MusicfanJ from Germany The sparkling dress just wow. It reminded me of 99 too. I want that time maschine. Lol. On the blue ones she really looks like a mermaid. I love her smile. (Thursday 28 March 2024; 20:29) this is a reply to message 106,053

New photos (106,053) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The new photo and video she dropped wearing the sparkly dress. Wow just stunning. She looks incredible. She looks so young and fresh like a cross between Rainbow and Einstein Mariah. (Thursday 28 March 2024; 03:14)

Happy birthday Mariah (106,045) by MusicfanJ from Germany Happy birthday Mariah. I hope you have a wonderful day. I wish you the best, a lot of luck and especially health. I wish you a sunny day. Cheers to the one and only Mariah. (Wednesday 27 March 2024; 11:59)

Quick question (106,022) by MusicfanJ from Germany Cool question. I would also choose B. Mariah and Celine were really the ballad queens of the 90ies. Together they would have been a duo that caused music news for sure. (Saturday 23 March 2024; 13:36) this is a reply to message 106,020

Quick question (106,020) by Norman from USA This is just for fun, okay? I was wondering what you guys thought would be the bigger pop culture moment: a) Mariah and Madonna having live on-camera moment together. (doesn't have to be a duet. It could be something like Whitney and Mimi did as presenters, or a PSA, or cameo in the other person's video.) Or b) Mariah and Celine doing something similar. I only mean it as a Zeitgeist moment to move the needle. It's not about liking or disliking anyone or whatever they do. Simply in terms of a moment. Thoughts? (Friday 22 March 2024; 23:31)

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (106,001) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love Kool and the Gang. Just listening to "Too hot" right now. So relaxing with the sax. Mariah and the wonderful group should be both in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Fingers crossed for Mariah of course. (Sunday 17 March 2024; 16:05) this is a reply to message 106,000

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (106,000) by Victoria from USA Kool and the Gang are just 1000 votes behind Mariah. Keep voting people. (Sunday 17 March 2024; 09:25)

Music right now (105,989) by MusicfanJ from Germany Absolutely I can't stand the music scene right now. No real singers, at best some entertainers out there with minimal talent or none at all. When I think of the 90ies, we had everything. There were real artists in almost every music genre. Even songs I didn't like back then are great compared to nowadays "charts". When I was a kid/teen I wateched MTV every day. It was so cool. I loved the US charts. I always remeber 93, Cheryl Crow with "All I wanna do", Michael Jackson and of course Mariah with "Without you". It was the best. Later I discovered AFN on the radio and became an RNB fan. I recorded all the hot music on my cassettes. With Toni Braxton, Usher, Next, TLC, Boyz II Men, Sisco, Whitney, En Vogue, Kelis, Babyface and of course many more. I also remember a day where they only played Aretha Franklin. That was music. Power voices, a beat, a groove, a real melody. The music scene right now is dead for me. Adele is the last talent for me too. And I enjoyed Amy Winehouse and Bruno Mars. Right now I listen a lot to cinema music, good old soul, jazz and MB30 and the rarities from "our" lovely MC. (Friday 15 March 2024; 13:09) this is a reply to message 105,977

Music right now (105,977) by jaker20 from US There's little true talent out there too now. The last one for me was Adele, who is no longer a major player. I'm sad that her career might be cut short, because she didn't take care of her voice. But now we're in a Barbie moment. You just have to look the part and make a few bland music, and the public will eat it. (Thursday 14 March 2024; 18:11)

Article: Shocking secret about Mariah Carey iconic cover (105,979) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I have an inner cinema while reading the article. Mariah Scissorhands. Lol. (Thursday 14 March 2024; 20:07) this is a reply to message 105,974

Article: Shocking secret about Mariah Carey iconic cover (105,974) by Libra Lamb from USA Why does this not surprise me? Mimi will always do Mimi. (Thursday 14 March 2024; 06:20)

Layout is epic (105,935) by MusicfanJ from Germany It looks super cool and fresh. I like it very much. (Sunday 10 March 2024; 14:01) this is a reply to message 105,909

Layout is epic (105,909) by Zachariah from Croatia I love it. Thank you. (Friday 8 March 2024; 19:37)

Mariah never lied or let anyone on (105,899) by MusicfanJ from Germany How I love Mariah on the "First vision". So sweet. For me she was the ultimate American girl. So cool and beautiful. How can someone be so beautiful and sing like in her debut. It's almost too much. She has everything and is really blessed. I just miss a more natural MC. I also do believe inside she's the same. (Friday 8 March 2024; 12:42) this is a reply to message 105,893

Mariah never lied or let anyone on (105,893) by Scott from USA Randomly I watched "The First Vision" again last night. Let's just talk about how good that was. Her talking about herself was the highlight. I followed it up by watching a recent interview with Jennifer Hudson. Was interesting to see the contrast (and how stiff she seemed recently) but also that in the recent interview she spoke about the same reference point of pointing out when her mom hit the wrong notes. Old Mariah is still in there but wow has she changed. (Thursday 7 March 2024; 23:04)

Mariah never lied or let anyone on (105,889) by MusicfanJ from Germany Thanks for the info. That means I will play Music Box 30 endlessly this year plus her outstanding music catalogue. "Vision of love" is still the best anyway. I will never get tired of this song. The part with the sweet destiny, and is what all that you turned out to be. What a debut single. Unmatched until this day. (Thursday 7 March 2024; 18:04) this is a reply to message 105,884

Mariah never lied or let anyone on (105,884) by T from USA Mariah will headline two festivals this summer, she'll do Vegas in the spring and then a massive Christmas tour starting in November. That's the extent of it this year guys. That's all I can say. (Thursday 7 March 2024; 01:04)

Top of the Pops (pun intended) (105,866) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mariah had many pop moments. The original "Fantasy" is a perfect pop song. One of the best. "Heartbreaker" is also a pop song. "Almost home" is pure pop music. "Against all odds", I love her cover. "I want to know what love is". There are much more of course. (Tuesday 5 March 2024; 14:44) this is a reply to message 105,860

Top of the Pops (pun intended) (105,860) by Matty from Vancouver Canada What are Mariah’s most Pop, ah La Lady Gaga and Britney, moments? Yes, And? remix, Almost Home, where else is MC pure pop? (Monday 4 March 2024; 23:35)

Release (105,865) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, it's a bit confusing to me. I was so excited for the "Butterfly lounge". So nothing new except the remix after all the "projects". (Tuesday 5 March 2024; 11:05) this is a reply to message 105,864

Release (105,864) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC is keeping the Lambs hanging on all of these sayings and with shows here and there. She said the following: 1A. I am working with a lot of young producers. 2021 1B. I am working on multiple projects. 2021 2. I hope to release the Butterfly Lounge. 2022 3. I am working on something the Lambily have been asking me for. 2022 4. I have about 10 songs completed with my writing partner. I said to him that I guess we are working on an album. 2023 5. I still have some more songs to record. 2023 (Tuesday 5 March 2024; 10:35)

Breakdown (live in Perth - footage) (105,851) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mariah the sex-bomb. I have the Tom Jones song on my mind. Tommy M. must have been shocked back then. Lol I love "Breakdown" with the best rap parts ever. Her outfit really reminds me of Caberat / Liza Minelli. (Sunday 3 March 2024; 18:29) this is a reply to message 105,846

Breakdown (live in Perth - footage) (105,846) by Billy from Greece Here's a little something for you. (Sunday 3 March 2024; 06:36)

Daydream is now Mariah's biggest album (105,832) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's so deserved. I love everything about Daydream. I became a fan because of Daydream. When I heard "Fantasy" on the radio back then I was enchanted. I bought the album and I still remember the day. I was so happy, I still have the original cassette. "Always be my baby", "One Sweet Day", "Open Arms", "Forever", " Melt away", "Long Ago", "Underneath the stars", "Daydream Interlude" and the incredible "Looking in". Isn't it unbelievable? For me it is and always will be the ultimate Mariah album. It is the perfect mix of Pop and RnB. That album caused Mariah mania. Daydream is deep in my heart. (Friday 1 March 2024; 20:34) this is a reply to message 105,817

Daydream is now Mariah's biggest album (105,817) by jaker20 from US Surpassing Music Box. Isn't that incredible? Time really is the true test of everything. Mariah has always referred to Music Box whenever she's talking about a time to massive success and sales peaks, but never about Daydream. Listening to whole Daydream album, it really sounds so fresh and it flows perfectly from one song to another. Fantasy alone is one of the most perfect pop songs ever made. It's so timeless. (Thursday 29 February 2024; 17:25)

Controversial (105,801) by MusicfanJ from Germany "She should be studied in Music School, I believe some already have." So true. Here's a little story. In the late 90ies I brought cd's of Mariah to my music teacher. He was a young and very nice teacher. It ended up that we as a school class were listening to "Hero" and "Everything fades away". Can you imagine how cool that was? My teacher loved Mariah's voice. (Tuesday 27 February 2024; 20:02) this is a reply to message 105,797

Controversial (105,797) by Libra Lamb from USA I think her confidence would be much higher and thus likely to release music more often, do more live performances and be in the spotlight a lot more. It's a shame we have to go so long without hearing new music but we'll always have her extensive catalogue and nobody will take that away or forget her. She should be studied in Music School, I believe some already have. The Mariah Carey course has a nice ring to it. She's unique in a lot of ways, always imitated but never duplicated. My all time favorite artist. (Tuesday 27 February 2024; 18:25)

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,748) by MusicfanJ from Germany I heard it too, that because of J.D. "We belong together" is sung in full-voice. It was more than a good decision. Thank you J.D. People who only say yes to everything aren't helpful. Plus yes-man are often people who are not nice at all, only a façade to get what they want. Oh yes, Celine Dion was clever to listen to the advise with "My heart will go on". I remember 97 as it was yesterday. I was a teen and I loved "My heart will go on". I still have the single and soundtrack cd. Lol. I went to the Titanic movie two times with friends. What a wonderful time that was. The carefree 90ies. I miss them.

I hope Mariah never releases anything anymore (105,733) by Stacey from USA Rumor has it MC wanted to sing WBT with whisper vocals and JD insisted on full voice vocals. Can you imagine that song as a whisper track? Perish the thought. Yikes. MC is a masterpiece. But like all of us isn't perfect. Even the greatest basketball player, Michael Jordan, said all the shots he missed made him better. I mean, the guy was cut from his high school basketball team. I'll always advocate MC keep realists on her team, people not afraid to say no to Mariah. Shoot, Celine didn't want to sing My Heart Will Go On and ultimately gave in and did it. Good decision, don't ya think? (Saturday 24 February 2024; 23:23)

Taryn Murphy / Make it go away (105,695) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love this song since I first heard it on the "Wise Girls" movie. I always thought it would suit Mariah too. I wish there was a version sung by MC. Some parts of it reminds me a bit of Mariah. (Friday 23 February 2024; 19:38)
