About Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands: Mariah fan since 1993.

Album drops (44,580) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands On the official UK album chart Me. I Am Mariah... drops 40 places to #54 in the second week. (Sunday 8 June 2014; 23:58)

Re: Singles for release by Alain from the Philippines (44,304) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I can't remember Merry Christmas II You had a re-release. Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel also did not have a re-release, nor did E=MC2. The last album that did have a re-release with additional songs was The Emancipation Of Mimi. So you're not buying Mariah's new album because 4 albums and 9 years ago there was a re-release and you think this will happen again with Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse, although the chances are very slim? I find this very strange. (Friday 30 May 2014; 12:08)

Re: Nobody wishes her to fail by Marcel from Canada (44,206) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands When I read all the messages you've posted here, they are mostly very negative. I highly doubt you can call yourself a fan if you only like her the first 7 years and nothing she has done for the last 17 years. Maybe you're in denial, but I think you should face the truth: you're no longer a fan. (Wednesday 28 May 2014; 16:31)

Mixed reviews (43,604) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I've been reading reviews of Mariah's new single Thirsty on this messageboard and other websites, and it is clear that this song generates mixed reviews. Some love it, some hate it and some don't care. There's nothing wrong with this, not everyone has the same taste in music. What bothers me are the fans who say Mariah has lost it, that she can't make quality music, that all her songs suck. Well, that's just your opinion. I'm well aware that Mariah these days sell less albums. Is this because of the quality of her songs? I don't think so, I think it is because Mariah has evolved to a different genre that less people like. Some of the best songs (according to me) of other artists were big flops, but I still adore these songs. What I'm trying to say, just because you don't like some songs doesn't mean the artist isn't talented. I don't like country, metal, hard rock, jazz, etc, but that doesn't mean I think these artists are less talented than others. If you don't like the music Mariah makes these days, there is a simple solution: don't listen to the new songs. (Wednesday 14 May 2014; 14:25)

Re: Exactly Carlos, you are right (43,433) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands This is a messageboard about Mariah. The people who visit this board are fans of Mariah, or at least I hope so. And I'm sure they don't want to read about someone insulting Mariah. If you don't like this, I'm sorry, but I won't change the rules for you. (Saturday 10 May 2014; 19:07)

Isaac (43,207) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Did you know Isaac Ortiz creates every day a new fake account and starts insulting everyone on this messageboard? Of course I delete all his messages and accounts immediately, but still after all these months he keeps trying to get his messages posted. I find this very funny. (Friday 2 May 2014; 10:22)

Re: Secret duet (42,925) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I don't think you should believe anything QueenMC writes. When asked what his sources are, he never answers. On April 16 he said the album was called "Liberation", one day (!) later he said the album was called "Illusions" and he even presented a full tracklist. The same day he told us about a duet with Justin Bieber, called "Swap It Out". On April 18 he knew the album has a Minnie Riperton/The Sherelles sounding. On April 20, he suggested the album was pushed back to July 3. On April 21, he said Mariah has recorded more than 20 songs for the album. On April 25, he said the album is called "Heavenly Existence" and now he tells us the album title and tracklist could change the last minutes. Yeah right, this way he can tell us later that all his fantasies he shared with us were true. (Saturday 26 April 2014; 13:17)

Re: Fans complain too much (42,726) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands It's funny and always surprises me when someone new comes to this messageboard and start acting like we are not real fans, because real fans will buy everything Mariah releases. How do you know we don't do that? We are the ones who support her for many years. I have been a fan for over 20 years and I know a lot of you are also. Because we are sometimes critical of Mariah doesn't mean we love her less. So please stop acting like you're a better fan than the rest of us. (Saturday 19 April 2014; 22:52)

Changing the rating system (42,600) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I'm thinking of changing the rating system, so you can only give a message thumbs up if you like it (just like Facebook). (Sunday 13 April 2014; 23:53)

Re: Should have been the singles by KaizenOcean (42,229) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Is it just me, or are most of these "should have been the singles" actually released as singles? (Wednesday 19 March 2014; 16:03)

Censorship (42,183) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Blake seems to have forgotten that this is a Mariah Carey fansite, so when he started insulting Mariah (calling her insane etc), no wonder his message got censored. Maybe in the past I neglected some of my own rules, but from now on I will apply them strictly. The same with calling other fans names. We are all fans of Mariah and although we might disagree about certain things (songs, the way Mariah promotes her songs or the way she looks), we still all love Mariah (at least I hope you do). So when you call other fans "not real fans" or "fair-weather fans", your message will get censored too. (Tuesday 18 March 2014; 10:23)

Mariah Daily Journal (41,119) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands MDJ had many webmasters. Jonny was the latest one who updated the website on a regular basis, Lynn was the one before him. I have a feeling that Jonny has been axed for some unknown reason (after reading his message) and Lynn is back. (Tuesday 11 February 2014; 15:02)

Re: Mariah at the Olympics? (40,944) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "Is Mariah going to perform at the opening ceremony of the Olympics?" I don't think so, but maybe Mariah will visit you for your birthday (and maybe you will be the first to hear her new single). (Monday 3 February 2014; 17:01)

Avatar (40,884) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands If you want to change your avatar, make sure it's a .jpg, .gif or .png and of the right colourscheme (RGB and not CMYK). (Thursday 30 January 2014; 21:04)

Webmaster (40,873) (40,875) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands There is a delete button, but it is only visible for me. That way I can delete all messages with spam or messages which are very mean towards Mariah (or don't follow my rules). (Thursday 30 January 2014; 16:27)

Sorry (40,839) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Today I've added the option to like or dislike a message. Unfortunately, I made a big error, so it was no longer possible to post messages. I want to apologize to everyone who tried to post a message the last few hours. I'm so sorry. (Wednesday 29 January 2014; 15:43)

To all the lambs (40,579) by Isaac Ortiz from USA (40,583) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands How dare you to call me a "so called Mariah fan", just because I was disappointed. I've been a Mariah fan for 20 years, since I heard the single "Without you" (although the first single I bought was "Hero"). And I have this website for 16 years now. And I do have a life, thank you. I'm sick of "obsessed" fans who call the more critical fans not real fans, or fairweather fans. (Thursday 16 January 2014; 10:27)

Re: The pip announcement (40,546) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Will from England wrote: "I am not going to lie, but am I the only one who was a teeny, tiny bit disappointed with the 'pip announcement'?" Sometimes I wonder if you guys ever read the news I post on my website. (Tuesday 14 January 2014; 10:34)

Long ago (40,443) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Edward, you silly boy. Daydream without "Long ago" is like café au lait without milk. Have you ever listened to this song with your headphones on? (Tuesday 7 January 2014; 16:52)

Everything Fades Away (40,412) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Licia, you're a silly girl. "Still not really sold on Everything Fades Away"? This is by far Mariah's greatest song and it was on all international editions of Music Box. (Sunday 5 January 2014; 12:41)

Mariah Carey's #1 fan (40,077) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Is Gabe Camarillo Mariah Carey's #1 fan? (Friday 6 December 2013; 23:27)

Re: Lamb_O_Chop (39,984) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands The Art Of Letting Go is considered a single. Here is what Wikipedia writes: "The Art Of Letting Go is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey that was released on November 11, 2013, as the second single from the album of the same name." Here is what Rolling Stone wrote on November 11: "Pop singer Mariah Carey released a new single today." Here is what Billboard wrote: "After much anticipation, Mariah Carey releases her latest single." Here is the definition of a single: "In music, a single or record single is a type of release, typically a song recording of fewer tracks than an LP record or an album. This can be released for sale to the public in a variety of different formats. In most cases, the single is a song that is released separately from an album, but it usually appears on an album. Often, these are the most popular songs from albums that are released separately for promotional uses such as digital download or commercial radio airplay, and in other cases a recording released as a single does not appear on an album." Whether you like it or not, but TAOLG is a single in every sense of the word. I can understand you don't want to call it a single because it flopped, but whether a single flops or reaches number 1, it remains a single. (Monday 25 November 2013; 11:25)
