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

Original David Morales collaboration (106,966) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, David and Mariah are a dream team. I love every remix by him. I hope there will be new remixes on the next album too. (Friday 26 July 2024; 14:57) this is a reply to message 106,953

Original David Morales collaboration (106,953) by Robert-Anthony from United States I was thinking today if we will finally get an original David Morales collaboration for MC16. Metorite was a pleasant surpirise on MIAM. And Caution could have been a bonus dance track after Portrait. I am just hoping for more original dance/electronic tracks on MC16. I am keeping my fingers cross. (Thursday 25 July 2024; 23:07)

Rumoured lead singles (106,933) by MusicfanJ from Germany Here the same. I have the [Sweetheart] maxi single and the [When you believe] single. It really was a wonderful time. The late 90ies will always have a special part of my heart. (Tuesday 23 July 2024; 13:25) this is a reply to message 106,929

Rumoured lead singles (106,929) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I also have the commercial one released in Spain in 1998, just before When You Believe came out as well. Sweet times. (Monday 22 July 2024; 23:04)

Holiday (106,852) by MusicfanJ from Germany I went to the Rhine river today. There was a boat with a young family on it, and the boat was named Mariah. Isn't it cool? I would love to be on a boat like that. Happy holidays / vacation everyone. (Tuesday 9 July 2024; 20:08)

May Céline inspire Mariah? (106,845) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I believe she will never talk openly or at least not now and she won't leave the diva antics because it's a protection. She's not like Céline. Mariah is more like Marilyn Monroe. We all know she loves her, they have some sad things in common. The traumatic childhood, loved by the world but still insecure inside. The relationships with different men that didn't work out. I do wish Mariah would get a little more relaxed. She's even more adorable when she's relaxed and not only the diva the people know her for. The "mop song" was hilarious. She can be so funny. A lot of people don't know that she's so funny. (Saturday 6 July 2024; 19:21) this is a reply to message 106,842

May Céline inspire Mariah? (106,842) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC's facade (the jokes, the rambling during interviews, and her childhood trauma) that she has built and uses to cope, is going to make it hard to drop her diva antics. It is her shtick now after of these years. (Friday 5 July 2024; 20:03)

The greatest musical artists of all time (106,838) by MusicfanJ from Germany Please put Elvis and the Beatles to the list. The one and only king and the fab four should be on it. 1. Elvis Presley 1950/1960 2. The Beatles 1960 Plus Marvin Gaye / Stevie Wonder 1960/1970. The 90ies with Michael, Mariah, Whitney. What a great music decade it was. I'm happy to have witnessed it. Music with melodies, heart and soul. What's going on now musically especially on the charts is "poor" and boring compared to all the other decades. (There are of course some exceptions.) The new jazz artists are fantastic, the same with some neo-soul musicians. (Friday 5 July 2024; 13:46) this is a reply to message 106,837

The greatest musical artists of all time (106,837) by Robert-Anthony from United States Am I right? Ordered from popularity peak and decade years. 1. Aretha Franklin - 1960s 2. Barbra Streisand - 1970s 3. Michael Jackson - 1980s 4. Whitney Houston - 1980s 5. Tie: Michael Jackson / Mariah Carey - 1990s 6. Celine Dion - 1997 7. Mariah Carey - 2005-2010 8. Taylor Swift - 2010 9. Taylor Swift - 2020 (Friday 5 July 2024; 01:59)

Honey (106,820) by MusicfanJ from Germany Enjoy your holiday Jamie. Did you watch the English football game yesterday? Very exciting at they end. I love when Mariah is playing "outside" on any location. It always lifts the mood. Honey is perfect for the summer. (Monday 1 July 2024; 10:19) this is a reply to message 106,819

Honey (106,819) by Jamie from UK Just off on holiday/vacation I'm sat in the airport and Mariah Honey is playing out loud. Great start to my day. Have a good one everyone. (Monday 1 July 2024; 06:24)

New remixes (106,816) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Thriller type of album." I would be happy even with a "Bad type" of album. I miss MJ's music by the way. "Remember the time" was playing on the radio. But back to Mariah, I do feel we will get some surprises next time on the album. Jazz, Disco, Dance pop maybe something for everyone. The new remixes are on repeat. (Saturday 29 June 2024; 13:48) this is a reply to message 106,814

New remixes (106,814) by Robert-Anthony from United States I sure do hope so. Her creativity has been on a creative high lately. I believe the Lambs won't be disappointed about what MC has been cooking in the studio. We know she has had 6 years to give us a Thriller type of album. Lol, Edward. The BET Awards are this Sunday. Maybe MC will join Muni Long on stage for the Made For Me remix. (Friday 28 June 2024; 20:09)

New remixes (106,812) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yup, they are all great. Perfect for the hot summer. "Made for me" grew on me too. Classic RnB at its best. The Rainbow remix is on fire. (Friday 28 June 2024; 10:36) this is a reply to message 106,809

New remixes (106,809) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I just want to say that I absolutely love the new remixes of Portrait and Rainbow's End. I can't stop playing them over and over again. Also, Made For Me and several gems on Rainbow 25th Anniversary. I'm so excited and happy to be enjoying the new music. Regards to all. (Thursday 27 June 2024; 23:14)

Rainbow Mariah (106,751) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Rainbow Mariah" was really fun and so humble. As you described it perfectly, she looked so carefree and sweet all the time. How I love the Homecoming special from 99. Plus all the interviews and concerts around the world. The tv appearances and interviews in Italy and UK are wonderful. The one in Japan is the cutest where she gets a robot cat-toy or something like that. Her smile was always heartwarming. I love her looks during "Rainbow era" too. Her natural beauty were always showing. And the Rainbow album was perfect for the ending of the 90ies. That Mariah finished it in 3 months is remarkable. That we now have new remixes is great. I enjoy them a lot. (Wednesday 19 June 2024; 17:32) this is a reply to message 106,748

Rainbow Mariah (106,748) by Mara from United States Living through all of Mariah's album releases and "eras" in real time, I've always said that "Rainbow Mariah" always seemed like someone I could be best friends with. So much fun. I don't know if it was the fact that she proved herself since Tommy already with Butterfly or what, but everything during Rainbow was so carefree. No jewelry, fancy dresses, just pure fun and remixes for days. I know the vocals were not perfection but that's what I loved. The organic rasp was everything. She just seemed so carefree not to mention we got the best live performances and acceptance speeches ever from #1's leading into Rainbow. FunRiah is what I remember during that time. Not to mention she was always a trendsetter. Having Jay-Z on Heartbreaker when she had the song "How Much" with Usher and it sampling Tupac "Me and My Girlfriend" way before J and Beyonce. She always was ahead of the game or shall I say industry. (Wednesday 19 June 2024; 05:05)

Mariah Carey reflects on 25 years of Rainbow (106,726) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow, you lucky one. I had tickets ordered for the tour for a friend and me. But I was a young teen back then and my mother didn't allow to travel only with a friend to a city 2 hours away from my home at night. So I had to resell the tickets. In 2003 I was finally able and old enough lol to see Mariah for the first time (Charmbracelet tour) and the wait was worth it. One of the best nights. But back to Rainbow, I revisit the album too and I have so many good feelings and memories about the music and the time. As I said, I was a mostly carefree teen and I remember it like it was yesterday. I really was Mariah "obsessed" in 99. Lol. Most of my friends were fans of boybands but I was a Mariah fan since Daydream. Now the time has changed in so many ways, people and things, but the music and memories will stay. I feel a little old too now. (Sunday 16 June 2024; 19:43) this is a reply to message 106,723

Mariah Carey reflects on 25 years of Rainbow (106,723) by Special K from USA I love this album. Favorite song is Bliss. First time I saw Mariah in concert was during the Rainbow Tour and it was the first time I met her. I almost passed out. Glad to see Mariah reflect on the Rainbow album. Why do I feel so old? Great memories. (Sunday 16 June 2024; 16:10)

Rainbow's End vocals (106,703) by MusicfanJ from Germany To me it seems brand new. What do the other lambs think? I can't get this song out of my head since yesterday. The new vocals are really good. The song is very uplifting, it feels indeed like a 70ies disco song except for the house parts by Mr. Morales. Mariah and David Morales are always a great working duo. I love all the remixes by him. (Saturday 15 June 2024; 14:38) this is a reply to message 106,681

Rainbow's End vocals (106,681) by Jamie from UK She sounds so good in this, is it completely new vocals? (Friday 14 June 2024; 16:13)

Rainbow 25 (106,702) by MusicfanJ from Germany Lee, I thought the same with the demo. I like the Mariah only version, but it's funny. I've listenend to the original so many times (since it came out in 99) that I still hear Joe at the second part on the "new" Mariah only version. The human brain does funny things. (Saturday 15 June 2024; 14:29) this is a reply to message 106,700

Rainbow 25 (106,700) by Lee from UK The Mariah Only TGIFY sounds to me like it was always intended to have featured artists. The new Mariah vocals sound like demo cuts of Mariah indicating what she wants the featured artist to sing. (Saturday 15 June 2024; 12:01)

Rainbow 25 CD? (106,701) by MusicfanJ from Germany I would like to know too. But as you said, I only could find the vinyl edition. I was so happy that Music Box 30 was available as a CD. (Saturday 15 June 2024; 14:19) this is a reply to message 106,694

Rainbow 25 CD? (106,694) by Taylor from USA Does anyone know if there is a Rainbow 25 CD? It seems like the only physical format is the vinyl set. (Saturday 15 June 2024; 00:53)

Top five rap verses on a MC song (106,649) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's really hard to choose. I go for the "classics". 1. The roof (Mobb Deep Version) 2. Breakdown 3. I still believe (Pure Imagination Remix) 4. My all (Stay Awhile Remix with Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz) 5. Honey (Remix with Mase) (Thursday 13 June 2024; 14:15) this is a reply to message 106,632

Top five rap verses on a MC song (106,632) by Libra Lamb from USA 1. So Lonely (Twista feat. Mariah Carey) 2. Up Out My Face (Remix feat. Nicki Minaj) Do we still know her? 3. Got A Thing 4 You (feat. Da Brat & Elephant Man) "and you can't pay pay to roll without my AK" 4. Triumphant (feat. Rick Ross & Meek Mill) or is it Meek Mill & Rick Ross (feat. Mariah Carey)? 5. The Roof (Mobb Deep Extended Version) (Tuesday 11 June 2024; 23:06)

Just some Dolly Parton facts (106,610) by MusicfanJ from Germany Dolly is wonderful. Her song "9-5" is my office song lol. I love the lyrics of it. That she is spending a lot for social projects is something I like too. Plus her humour. A real legend, this lady. (Friday 7 June 2024; 14:47) this is a reply to message 106,607

Just some Dolly Parton facts (106,607) by Robert-Anthony from United States Dolly will release album #50 on November 15th. Her last album was released on November 17, 2023. She began her career in 1955. This lady looks like she is 50 years old right now. Dolly does not slow down. Everyone loves Dolly Parton. This last fact really made me laugh. Her own label is called Butterfly Records. How funny is that? (Friday 7 June 2024; 02:03)

The-Dream (106,603) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's really disgusting. But I don't think it's just because of the money and fame. A bad character stays a bad character, the same with a good one, with or without money. But if a bad person gets fame it's easier to treat other people wrong for sure. I won't listen to the songs like before. It spoils my joy while listening. I hope MC won't work again with him, there are better producers out there anyway. (Thursday 6 June 2024; 14:11) this is a reply to message 106,601

The-Dream (106,601) by Robert-Anthony from United States I guess MC won't be working with The-Dream anymore after these allegations. I don't understand why music producers like R.Kelly, Sean "Diddy" Combs", and The-Dream allow fame and money to overtake their moral judgement to use and mistreat women in such horrific ways. No heart emoji today. (Thursday 6 June 2024; 02:35)

Portrait late at night (106,561) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's true. (Wednesday 29 May 2024; 15:16) this is a reply to message 106,557

Portrait late at night (106,557) by Stacey from USA Great minds think alike. Those are my favs off Caution too. (Monday 27 May 2024; 19:36)

Portrait late at night (106,543) by MusicfanJ from Germany Portrait and "Giving me life" are my favourites from "Caution". So I was super excited of the new remix. And wow, it is indeed genius. I love everything about it. That's the Mariah I was missing. It has the Butterfly remix vibe and something new. Mariah sounds carefree and is showing that she has still the "fire". The background chorus is wonderful too. It sounds like the good old days but also new and fresh. I just love it. (Sunday 26 May 2024; 17:48) this is a reply to message 106,539

Portrait late at night (106,539) by Libra Lamb from USA This song checks all the boxes for me. I absolutely love it, I have been playing these remixes non stop since the release. This is the kind of music that we need right now, reminiscent of her body of work. Pure genius. Also, I love Mariah’s speaking voice and so glad they sometimes use it in her songs. Everyone should be in ecstasy with these Hopeful Child remixes. My only complaint is that the Hopeful Child remix, 16 min 20 sec, is not long enough. (Sunday 26 May 2024; 08:36)

Muni and Mariah remix (106,480) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I like it too. Plus I'm happy that this time the lyrics are clean. Lol. For me it sounds like a song that could be on the MOAIA album. So now I'm ready for a real surprise for the next song. Jazz, pop or a song from the Ugly Daughter sessions? However please Mariah only next time. (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 17:57) this is a reply to message 106,470

Muni and Mariah remix (106,470) by Shezz from Pk I like it. I don't love it (yet). It could have been on any Mariah album, very reminiscent of other JD and BMC Mariah songs like [We belong together] and [Don't forget about us]. I will definitely be hearing this over the original (same like I do with Yes, And and Big Energy). Mariah sounds good, I wish it were a little longer. I mean we all knew exactly what the song sounds like anyway and with the [Billboard] remix rule, we weren't up for any surprises. I'd have liked to hear a Mariah only chorus like we heard in the clips. Robert Anthony, history shall have to wait. They do sound good together though. (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 11:43)

Article: Mariah spent Mother's Day weekend in Westchester (106,434) by MusicfanJ from Germany I see it the same way. Why doing a duet for Christmas even on the album with her mum, if she's so bad? It makes no sense at all. Personally I wish they are fine or at least okay. (Saturday 18 May 2024; 11:09) this is a reply to message 106,426

Article: Mariah spent Mother's Day weekend in Westchester (106,426) by Edward from USA I'm not buying any of it. You don't record a duet with someone you portray as a bad parent in an interview. When Mariah started her Christmas shows at Beacon Theater, I personally witnessed the strong relationship they had. It wasn't just for show, Tommy wasn't involved, and her mother wasn't even on stage. She was simply there to support Mariah. After the show ended, I saw them hugging and being very affectionate. Mariah's mother was never depicted as exploiting Mariah for money, yet there's ample evidence of Mariah experiencing severe mental strain, culminating in a nervous breakdown during the "Glitter" era. According to Mariah, she just needed rest - indeed, she needed some 911 rest alright. (Friday 17 May 2024; 18:05)

Influence - Dem Teens (106,365) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Monroe, North and Blu Ivy will rule the world one day." I don't think so. But they are lucky, they will never need to do a normal 9-5 job. They can be creative even if there will be no or less success. Maybe one day we will get a duet with Monroe and Mariah. That would be sweet. (Tuesday 7 May 2024; 19:29) this is a reply to message 106,362

Influence - Dem Teens (106,362) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Now that Dem Babies are officially Dem Teens (which blows my mind), I wonder if they'll have an influence on Mariah evolving her sound to a new youthful sound and experimental direction? Especially now that Monroe is showing an interest in [music] and hangs out with North West. Monroe, North and Blu Ivy will rule the world one day. (Tuesday 7 May 2024; 15:34)

Article: Daniel Bedingfield will release lost Mariah Carey duet (106,334) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm sure it sounds good, because that was a time were pop music still had melodies while sounding fresh and were radio friendly. I even remember his sister, she had a few hits too. I'm a big soul and jazz fan, but a good pop song is always a win. I can't wait to hear it. (Thursday 2 May 2024; 17:27) this is a reply to message 106,328

Article: Daniel Bedingfield will release lost Mariah Carey duet (106,328) by Zachariah from Croatia When I have to google who Daniel Bedingfield is, I am sure that song sounds like crap. (Thursday 2 May 2024; 08:40)

Article: Daniel Bedingfield will release lost Mariah Carey duet (106,332) by MusicfanJ from Germany I really liked this song back then. I'm excited for the duet. (Thursday 2 May 2024; 17:21) this is a reply to message 106,325

Article: Daniel Bedingfield will release lost Mariah Carey duet (106,325) by Edward from USA We Gotta Get Thru This. (Thursday 2 May 2024; 02:27)

Why is there no JD on Butterfly? (106,307) by MusicfanJ from Germany Good question Robert-Anthony. But Bone-Thugs were West-Coast? I can't remember. Lol. I love your idea with the New York sound. MC and NYC best duo. (Saturday 27 April 2024; 14:25) this is a reply to message 106,305

Why is there no JD on Butterfly? (106,305) by Robert-Anthony from United States We know why there is no JD on Glitter and Memoirs. But why didn't MC record any tracks with JD for Butterfly. Was she exclusively seeking a New York hip hop and rap sound that only New York and East coast producers could only have given her? Was she paying homage to her home city with the Butterfly album? Maybe that is what she needs to do for MC16 is to focus on a New York sound with a live band. Go back Proctor's Theater and SNL to promote the album. (Saturday 27 April 2024; 02:28)

Will the Mariah Carey story ever be told? (106,306) by MusicfanJ from Germany I really wish there would be a part two in the future. Mariah is still such a mystery. In the 90ies even more, but yes "Looking in" really comes to my mind everytime I think of the one and only Mariah. I guess her book didn't tell a lot of new things for fans. I really would like to know more things. Topics could be about New York, the music biz, how it's like to be a global legend, maybe tell a hidden hobby. Is there a favourite project that hasn't been completed right now? Things of that nature. (Saturday 27 April 2024; 12:35) this is a reply to message 106,304

Will the Mariah Carey story ever be told? (106,304) by jaker20 from US I've kind of been wondering about this. I really think her bio is the most open she's ever been. But we know that's not complete. I feel like there's a part 2 to it. But then she also said that "You'll never know the real me." (Saturday 27 April 2024; 00:53)
