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

TikTok video with Kim K. (102,263) by MusicfanJ from Germany I can't stand the Kardashians. Why are they so famous in the US? They are rich, one is a model and married with Mr. Kanye West. But for me they are boring celebrities'. Pure self-promoter. I don't need a TikTok video, new music is needed. But somehow I have a feeling that there won't come a new album soon. I hope I'm wrong. But as always I'm happy to listen to her music catalogue. But there must be more hidden music, I'm still waiting for another Rarities.

TikTok video with Kim K. (102,262) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm living for the video becauseI love both Mariah and Kim. I am wondering if they're cooking something up together. Kim's shapewear brand Skims always does a lot of collaborations like she had all the OG supermodels for her "Icons" collection, then she had Megan Fox, recently she had the 2 girls from the comedic hit "White Lotus" for valentine's collection so I wonder if she'll have a "Diva's" range or if this a project of Marian's. Like why would Mariah be at Kim's house. I would love to be a fly on the wall for that chat haha. Mariah had previously subtly shaded Kardashians but recently warmed up to them starting with the AIWFCIY celebrity edition, then following Kris Jenner and posting photos with Kris. The Kardashians have always from the start been Mariah stand. I have seen countless times them playing Marian's songs on all the sister's stories including Kendall and Kylie. Kendall even recently used "Fantasy" in one of her perfume ads along with paying homage to the "Honey" pool dive scene. So I would love to know what lead to this TikTok collab. Right after this, Kim and Kylie also did the "It's a wrap" challenge. (Saturday 25 February 2023; 01:17)

Super Bowl (102,215) by MusicfanJ from Germany Absolutely. I don't need a circus dance number with fireworks. I need new music from Mariah. Jazz or just a new album. At least The Rarities 2. I'm even interested in her hidden Daydream era grunge album. (Monday 13 February 2023; 10:52) this is a reply to message 102,214

Super Bowl (102,214) by TJ from Norway Dance? She should stick to what she knows. (Monday 13 February 2023; 07:48)

Memoirs is underrated (102,139) by MusicfanJ from Germany I also think it's her "darkest" album moodwise. I wouldn't recommend this one for non-fans too. It's very special. (Thursday 26 January 2023; 19:32) this is a reply to message 102,136

Memoirs is underrated (102,136) by JC from USA I like The Dream and loved My Love but would never recommend this album to a non-lamb. Very depressing, sans Obsessed. She was obviously in a dark place. I did love seeing her promote it on the today show upon its release, though. The whole album's tone can be set by the Betcha Gon Know intro. You see, Caution is a "mood" album. Memoirs is a "moody" album. Big diff. (Thursday 26 January 2023; 11:13)

Butterfly tour footage - Sydney (102,138) by MusicfanJ from Germany I knew [The Roof] performance, but yeah it's really cool. Mariah's little dance moves were so cool and sexy during that tour. Her aura was stunning, she could have melt an iceberg. A diva and superstar but at the same time approachable. (Thursday 26 January 2023; 19:19) this is a reply to message 102,135

Butterfly tour footage - Sydney (102,135) by JC from USA Thank you for sharing. I love The Roof performance. I don't think I had seen this one before. (Thursday 26 January 2023; 11:06)

Butterfly tour footage - Sydney (102,129) by MusicfanJ from Germany Kalispéra Billy, thank you so much for sharing this. My fan heart is so pleased because of the Emotions and My All live version. It's so good. I love the Australia videos from the Butterfly Tour. 90ies Mariah was matchless. I love her speaking voice, the look, everything. (Wednesday 25 January 2023; 18:07) this is a reply to message 102,126

Butterfly tour footage - Sydney (102,126) by Billy from Greece Oh my goodness. Where did these come from? My All and The Roof. Oh dear. More here. Emotions and My All audio from the soundboard. (Wednesday 25 January 2023; 16:32)

Butterfly (102,086) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, should have been a number one. It was played a lot at MTV and even on the radio it was "received very well". I still have it on cassette from 97 "my rnb mixtape" self recorded from radio. The older I get the more I value Butterfly and its lyrics. It's really a masterpiece, epic song. (Monday 16 January 2023; 18:36) this is a reply to message 102,084

Butterfly (102,084) by BFF from United States "Butterfly" is one of the best ballads she ever wrote. I wish Sony had commercially released it. I think it could have gone to #1 easily on the strength of the ballad version as well as "Fly Away (Butterfly Reprise)". (Monday 16 January 2023; 15:57)

Butterfly (102,071) by MusicfanJ from Germany This song is still so brilliant. By the first listen in 97 I loved this song. I think it's beside "Hero" Mariah's hymn. An emotional ballad, poetic lyrics and a beautiful, classy video. We all know that Mariah described her new free life with it and the tough relationship with Tommy. But for me the song can also be about friendship, changes, dreams and life in general. Today the people won't get a song like this again. In 97 the music and the artists from many genres were really awesome. Music will always be a mirror of the times. I miss those days. (Saturday 14 January 2023; 17:20)

Primary custody (102,063) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's true. But I'm sure if they didn't want to, they are not forced like other "poor" kids. If I had a famous mum I would have tried to be on stage, at least one time just for fun. (Thursday 12 January 2023; 17:49) this is a reply to message 102,058

Primary custody (102,058) by TJ from Norway But it's also not normal to bring the kids on stage. Just saying. (Thursday 12 January 2023; 16:07)

Primary custody (102,056) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, but it's understandable for Mariah to take this step. I don't know about the US law but here Mariah would easily get the primary custody. I mean with six different mothers, we call that antisocial here. Sorry, but it's the truth. And maybe Nick won't stop and there will be a another woman with a child from him. Definitely not a normal situation for children. So I hope Mariah is getting the custody. (Thursday 12 January 2023; 14:06) this is a reply to message 102,054

Primary custody (102,054) by Bobby A from United States Things are about get really difficult for MC seeking primary custody. Nick is going to fight it all the way. (Thursday 12 January 2023; 11:44)

Camouflage (102,042) by MusicfanJ from Germany I always had a bad feeling about Nick. When the press started to show the pics of the "so in love" couple on the beach (just after E=MC2 release), I thought if Mariah is happy with that man, everything is fine. But that bad feeling stayed. He was not known here and still isn't very known in Germany. But anyway, what it turned out is a real nightmare. Eminem may be a clown, but Mr. Cannon is worse. I wish they would have never met. But at least Mariah has sweet kids. I hope Bryan (also young), is a true soul. He seems very kind with a good heart. (Monday 9 January 2023; 17:53) this is a reply to message 102,041

Camouflage (102,041) by "MariahHater" from Hell I totally agree. I listened to this when I was a teen, then listened to it know [sic] as an adult hits differently. There is truly more to Mariah than what we see. I'm not a psychiateist [sic] or what but maybe her current behaviour is her defense mechanism to protect whatever personal to her. Who the hell's husband tells the world that his wife gives the worst mouth jobs? (Monday 9 January 2023; 03:46)

Rolling Stone's 200 Greatest Singers (102,040) by MusicfanJ from Germany I also forgot Gladys Knight, beside of Mariah my favourite female singer. And Tina Turner belongs there too. So it's obvious, I can't decide to make a list with a top ten. Just my favourites. (Sunday 8 January 2023; 16:26) this is a reply to message 102,032

Rolling Stone's 200 Greatest Singers (102,032) by MusicfanJ from Germany I forgot Barbra Streisand. She's great too. (Wednesday 4 January 2023; 21:32)

Rolling Stone's 200 Greatest Singers (102,029) by MusicfanJ from Germany Good list, mine would be: Female singers: 1. Aretha Franklin 2. Mariah Carey 3. Whitney Houston 4. Ella Fitzgerald 5. Etta James 6. Donna Summer 7. Billie Holiday 8. Celine Dion 9. Brenda Lee 10. Janis Joplin (I know her music may not be for everyone's ears, but she really could sing the blues) 10 Male singers: 1. Stevie Wonder 2. Otis Redding 3. Marvin Gaye 4. Michael Jackson 5. Prince 6. Bill Withers 7. Sam Cooke 8. Teddy Pendergrass 9. George Michael 10. Lionel Richie (Wednesday 4 January 2023; 17:04)

Rolling Stone's 200 Greatest Singers (102,025) by BFF from United States These are the singers that come to mind for me. 10 Female singers: 1. Aretha Franklin 2. Linda Ronstadt 3. Donna Summer 4. Whitney Houston 5. Mariah Carey 6. Celine Dion 7. Wynonna Judd 8. Etta James 9. Bonnie Raitt 10. Carrie Underwood 10 Male singers: 1. Marvin Gaye 2. Seal 3. Bruce Springsteen 4. Luther Vandross 5.

Rolling Stone's 200 Greatest Singers (102,028) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, Céline should be at number 8. I even read on the german Yahoo site today that the people don't understand the list (that Celine Dion is missing). It's a big mistake. (Wednesday 4 January 2023; 16:46) this is a reply to message 102,026

Rolling Stone's 200 Greatest Singers (102,026) by Terna from Nigeria Celine Dion should actually replace that number 8 Beyonce occupies, It's kinda [laughable] how they always try to have Beyonce sit among the greats and she just does not belong. Notable singers were missing, like was Dionne Warwick even there on the list? (Wednesday 4 January 2023; 15:43)

Rolling Stone's 200 Greatest Singers (102,006) by MusicfanJ from Germany Here the same. Donna Summer at #122, that's ridiculous and so wrong. She belongs to the top ten. Yes at least the top 5 is filled with the best of the best. Sam Cooke is a great choice. But Elvis should be higher than Beyoncé. The same with Prince. (Monday 2 January 2023; 19:01) this is a reply to message 102,003

Rolling Stone's 200 Greatest Singers (102,003) by BFF from United States I can't take this list seriously with Beyonce at #8 but Linda Ronstadt at #47 and Donna Summer at #122. Are you kidding me? (Monday 2 January 2023; 16:04)

Cheers to 2023 (101,990) by MusicfanJ from Germany So true. I will always love the 90ies because I grew up at that time and discovered the one and only Mariah. I wish you all a happy and healthy new year. (Saturday 31 December 2022; 19:52) this is a reply to message 101,989

Cheers to 2023 (101,989) by Billy from Greece Lovely post. Same for me. Happy 2023. (Saturday 31 December 2022; 19:13)

90th week atop (101,976) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow, congrats to the one and only MC. She really has broken every record one can break. On a side note: I was looking at the new Instagram pics, Mariah with Bryan and the kids. And I thought that look is so "Daydream Mariah". I love it. It's classy and beautiful. It really looks like 96. She has the sweetest smile, she really seems to enjoy the holidays. Something that makes me happy to see. All I want as a lifetime fan is a happy, healthy Mariah. (Wednesday 28 December 2022; 14:12)

Miss you most at Christmas time (101,943) by MusicfanJ from Germany AIWFCIY is everywhere right now. And I still love it. But "Miss you most at Christmas time" is just as wonderful. Just the opposite moodwise. I love this song so much and it belongs to Christmas too. Pure Mariah, pure magic. "Every other season comes a long and I'm all right, but then I miss you most at Christmas time" so true. The video is pretty too. Just beautiful Mariah, nothing more. (Friday 23 December 2022; 14:57)

Merry Christmas from Croatia (101,942) by MusicfanJ from Germany Merry Christmas to you and all the fans/lambily of Mariah worldwide. I hope you can all enjoy the holidays. It's been a tough year (again) and I'm happy for Mariah's wonderful music. Her music will always heal and makes someone feel good. I enjoy to read all your opinions and expericenes here on this board. Thanks to the webmaster. Merry Christmas. (Friday 23 December 2022; 14:48) this is a reply to message 101,940

Merry Christmas from Croatia (101,940) by Norman from USA And a Merry Christmas to you, too. (Thursday 22 December 2022; 18:29)

Whoopi Goldberg mocks Mariah (101,900) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, that title suits her better. Don''t get me wrong, I love "AIWFIY" and her Christmas songs. But what really made her outstanding are songs like "Vision of love", "Everything fades away", "Without you", of course the whole Emotions, Daydream and Butterfly album. Plus debut and Music Box. The voice on the first ten years, the lyrics, the emotion makes her the "Queen of Music" forever. There will never be someone like Mariah. (Monday 19 December 2022; 18:11) this is a reply to message 101,898

Whoopi Goldberg mocks Mariah (101,898) by Carlos from Brazil Darlene Love can have that poor and shitty "Queen of Christmas" title. I've always tought Mariah was much more that to anyone. She is the "Queen of Music". Nothing less. (Monday 19 December 2022; 17:01)

Why is everyone surprised? (101,858) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes. I had to stop watching the clip. Too painful to watch. It looks like Mariah wants to sing and "deliver" but she just can't. And she knows it. Whatever the reasons are, it's so sad. She really seems struggling. Someone should take care of her as a human being not just manage the star. (Friday 16 December 2022; 18:36) this is a reply to message 101,856

Why is everyone surprised? (101,856) by Jamie from UK I think even Mariah looked disappointed in this clip. (Friday 16 December 2022; 16:57)

Mariah duet with Monroe (101,781) by MusicfanJ from Germany So sweet. They looked like two angels. What a nice surprise on stage. They sound beautiful together. It really warms the heart. Thanks for posting it. (Sunday 11 December 2022; 12:36) this is a reply to message 101,772

Mariah duet with Monroe (101,772) by Edward from USA Mariah and Monroe had a cute duet on her Christmas Show. I think Monroe can sing. (Saturday 10 December 2022; 17:53)

This board (101,731) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, the 90ies were too good to be true. But they were. Luckily the memories will stay forever. 80ies and 90ies, that feeling that was going on, maybe youngsters will never understand. Every "outdated" movie and music from that time is a thousand times better than most of the trash today. It was original, with heart and soul and really fun to have witnessed it. (Sunday 4 December 2022; 18:32) this is a reply to message 101,729

This board (101,729) by Jamie from UK Oh girl the 90's was da bomb. Shame you missed out. (Sunday 4 December 2022; 01:40)

W photo shoot (101,695) by MusicfanJ from Germany She's looks really stunning and beautiful. Of course I love the black photo that reminds me of the Daydream shoot. But the other is fantastic too. Classy pics are always a winner. It shows the pure beauty. (Monday 28 November 2022; 16:40) this is a reply to message 101,689

W photo shoot (101,689) by Randy from USA Y'all always say I'm negative. I'm gonna say something positive. She looks absolutely stunning in that W spread. Perfection. (Sunday 27 November 2022; 19:23)

Macy's performance (101,676) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Thank God I saw her in 1996 on the Daydream tour when she was actually a competent and capable singer." That time was simlpy magic on stage. Almost unreal. There's a reason 95 and 96 was Mariah mania around the world. I remember she had one concert in Germany, it was immediately sold out. If I had a time machine, I would choose that date to be part of the audience. You are really lucky to have witnessed her live during her Daydream tour.

Macy's performance (101,673) by Bill from the UK Who'd have thought MC would lip sync. Colour me stunned. You're looking at $150-200 for one ticket to the Christmas concert. Plus travel and hotel if you're not based in New York. If you want to pay that much to watch her lip sync, get her hair and make up fixed on stage, bemoan the lighting, stick a finger in her ear, ramble on about her ensemble, drink champagne, and bark out an off key "EH" every so often, that's your prerogative. Thank God I saw her in 1996 on the Daydream tour when she was actually a competent and capable singer. (Friday 25 November 2022; 15:19)
