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

Re: That Girl - Mariah (101,042) (101,046) by MusicfanJ from Germany Back then, I hated the song "Ironic" and this kind of music by Alanis. It was just "screaming" for my ears and not real singing. I always changed the radio station when the song was played. And it was played a lot. Lol. But then the next song was "Fantasy", "ABMB" , "Open Arms" or "One Sweet Day" and everything was fine. Well, it is just a matter of taste. Isn't it? But my vote goes to "Daydream". (Thursday 25 August 2022; 19:36)

Re: That Girl - Mariah (101,040) (101,045) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mariah actually deserved the Grammys for "Daydream" more than any other artist at that time. Yes, there was a good competion back then, but we are talking about "Daydream". For "Fantasy" alone there should have been the award. It was Mariah's year musically, she was 24/7 on MTV, on the radio stations around the world. And then there was "One sweet day". It was Mariah mania, maybe this is one reason why they didn't get her one Grammy. Plus that her husband at that time was the boss of Sony. Pure envy. She had everything, the look, the voice, the power. (Thursday 25 August 2022; 19:22)

Re: Nick Cannon (101,030) (101,036) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh no. Unbelievable. I have no words. (Thursday 25 August 2022; 13:41)

Mariah and Luis duet (101,010) by MusicfanJ from Germany I really would like to know how this hidden duet with Luis Miguel sounds. Didn't she say that their voices didn't match well together? I remember the Whitney and Enrique Iglesias duet which I liked. At least we have The Rarities. (Sunday 21 August 2022; 19:45)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey wants to trademark "Queen of Christmas" (101,004) (101,006) by MusicfanJ from Germany Well, that's something I would like to know too. Hard to believe it's the same woman. Fame and money is one thing, but I prefer the Mariah who's love for music and artistry is stronger than for money. To "milk the cow called Christmas" gets boring. Why not make new music with real musicians and a band? If even Lady Gaga could do a Jazz album why not MC? Or something new, but please no more Christmas albums. 5 albums/editions with Christmas (The Star soundtrack and animated movie included) are enough. (Sunday 21 August 2022; 12:19)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey wants to trademark "Queen of Christmas" (100,996) (100,999) by MusicfanJ from Germany It really could be an idea of Stella back then. That were dark times for fans/lambs. I hope I never hear something from those people again. (Friday 19 August 2022; 09:57)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey wants to trademark "Queen of Christmas" (100,993) (100,994) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, is it even true or another rumour? Why not trademark "diva"? Just kidding. How about new music? Or Rarities 2? I would love a surprise in autumn. (Thursday 18 August 2022; 20:41)

Only Mariah (100,978) by MusicfanJ from Germany Hi MCA fellows, I hope you are all doing well. I really had some tough weeks. Everything was too much and I can't stand the heatwave. Anyway it's always the same. I love many artists but only Mariah can heal and give peace to the soul (and ears lol). Corny but true. You know it. I started to listen to "I'll be there", the whole Daydream album plus "Hero" and Anytime you need a friend" live at Tokyo. Every time I'm blown away, only Mariah. (Monday 15 August 2022; 10:42)

Trey Lorenz (100,974) by MusicfanJ from Germany I just discovered his debut album. I own the Mr. Mista album but somehow I never thought about his debut. I think it's amazing how Mariah is giving her background vocals on "Just to be close to you" and "Always in love". (By AIL I get a little "Everything fades way" vibe at the end, heavenly.) How I miss real RNB music with class, pure and from the heart. Trey Lorenz and Mariah were another dream team musically. (Sunday 14 August 2022; 19:37)

Re: "Never Too Far/Hero" (100,969) (100,973) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love it too. But I always get sad while listening to it because of the 9/11 tribute. But yes, wonderful performance and medley. (Sunday 14 August 2022; 18:49)

Re: Still here (100,953) (100,954) by MusicfanJ from Germany "MC had 8 albums, an ugly marriage and all the pressure that comes with fame and money before she turned 30." So true and that was too much even for her. It would be for every human. What she has reached and experienced before 30 is unbelievable. Only Elvis, The Beatles, Michael and Whitney have had "similar" experiences I guess. I never judge her, I just want her to be happy and healthy. Musically she has reached everything and beyond, but to know she is really happy and taking care of herself would be something I wish from my deepest heart. So many of the greatest were so sad. But a few can be superstars while still grounded and relaxed after all and enjoy it. I just hope that Mariah is happy. (Thursday 11 August 2022; 10:39)

Re: RIP Olivia Newton John (100,942) (100,944) by MusicfanJ from Germany I just read Mariah's message on insta. It is beautiful written. Every word. You can tell the love and admiration by it. Emotionally touching. (Tuesday 9 August 2022; 13:25)

Re: RIP Olivia Newton John (100,940) (100,943) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, a bit creepy because we talked about her not long ago. I will always love "Grease" and the duet with Mariah. I always enjoyed the music of the classy woman. (Physical still gets played very often on "my" radio station.) Olivia will be missed. Almost all the "good ones" are gone. So sad. (Tuesday 9 August 2022; 10:32)

Article about Honey (100,913) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's so true, it's really as sweet as it was 25 years later. It's one of her best up-tempos right after Fantasy. It still sounds so fresh, soulful. Mariah at her best. Plus one of the best videos ever. I just love the Bond girl idea. Honey is just phenomenal. Perfect sample, perfect remixes. I miss that Mariah. (Fun, independent and carefree.) Yes she was so young, I know. I will always remember when the song was played on the radio 97, after 3 seconds I knew it was Mariah with the new song. And the video was everywhere. Sweet memories of the late summer 97. (Saturday 6 August 2022; 14:29)

Re: #Butterfly25 (100,875) (100,876) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, nice list. "Hopelessly Devoted to You with ONJ." How I love this song. When it was realesed (I have it on VHS) lol I watched it over and over again. They were both so sweet, and Mariah was so classy while sexy and just fun. Great duet. (Monday 1 August 2022; 17:57)

Re: MC hurry up (100,857) (100,866) by MusicfanJ from Germany The last time I listened to Beyoncé was with Destiney's Child. I loved the group. Then her debut was okay, but not overwhelming for my taste. A good RnB album, but nothing more. I will never understand the hype with that woman. Her music doesn't get my heart, pretty boring. I always preferred Alicia Keys or India Arie when she came out. More soul, more voice. (Sunday 31 July 2022; 12:24)

Re: MC hurry up (100,855) (100,865) by MusicfanJ from Germany The SNL performance is one of my favourites too. Mariah at her best. Stacey, I wish you a good start with your new "family members" the kittens. I'm sure they have a lot of energy. I have a male cat, he's relaxed right now listening to Coffee Time Jazz. Cats have good taste. (Sunday 31 July 2022; 12:12)

Re: Thoughts: which album do you think MC dislikes (100,806) (100,820) by MusicfanJ from Germany "She seemed pretty carefree and happy. The tour was a lot of fun. And I liked that her style was super casual." That's right. It was really a cool time as a fan during that time. I became a fan with Daydream as I often said. "Butterfly" was a big surprise and of course genius, but with "Rainbow" it was just so much fun. She was one of the biggest stars out there, but seemed so humble and sweet. Everyone loved her. Her videos were playing all the time on MTV and VIVA (German music TV). I loved the many specials from her, I still have them on VHS. Lol. Good times. (Monday 25 July 2022; 14:09)

Re: Just one more time with Walter A. (100,770) (100,774) by MusicfanJ from Germany They were an absolute dreamteam professionally. I wonder if there are still songs from the past which we don't know. I need "Rarities Part two". (Tuesday 19 July 2022; 18:47)

Re: Vocabulary (100,726) (100,730) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes Stacey, that bridge is incredible. I often get goosebumbs while listening to it. The whole Emotions album is so wonderful. A real treasure of music. (Friday 15 July 2022; 11:48)

Re: Vocabulary (100,684) (100,687) by MusicfanJ from Germany Ha ha, here the same. Bleak is bleak. Lol. And all just because of the "Mean Girls" movie. (Sunday 10 July 2022; 15:16)

Re: Funko pop (100,678) (100,679) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh my is that sweet. Fantasy and Daydream were the reason I became a fan. So many good memories with "Fantasy". I'll always love the "roller skates" outfit. Is there a chance that it will be on Amazon.de in autumn or by the end of year? I really need this for my living room. (Saturday 9 July 2022; 13:20)

Re: New cover song (100,650) (100,655) by MusicfanJ from Germany "You and I" on the next Rarities would be nice too. (Monday 4 July 2022; 20:36)

Re: New cover song (100,644) (100,647) by MusicfanJ from Germany Great question. I love Mariah's covers. I pick "You light up my life" by Debby Boone. I know the original is allready perfect, but I imagine Mariah's voice would also be perfect on it. Evertime I listen to the song I hear Mariah's voice on my mind. (Monday 4 July 2022; 12:26)

Re: GOATS and Lambs (100,636) (100,637) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, he really nailed it (with every single word). (Friday 1 July 2022; 13:33)
