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

Dating (104,981) by MusicfanJ from Germany Princes Mariah would suit her. I think a true partner must not be a Hollywood man in general, but a grown-up man who stands with both feet on the ground and isn't lurking for fame and money. No one needs such company. I just hope she finds a true soul who loves her as the human she is and not only the superstar. (Wednesday 17 January 2024; 13:12) this is a reply to message 104,962

Dating (104,962) by Victor from Costa Rica I think that falling in love is such an important part of life that it will happen to Mariah whenever she is ready and it will become a priority if the love feels right. I think she can do both things simultaneously like every one of us. I just want her next man to be an A+ Hollywood star, a powerful business man, or someone with royal lineage. PD/A have always wanted to call her Princess Mariah. (Tuesday 16 January 2024; 18:58)

Kardashian Konnection (104,957) by MusicfanJ from Germany For me the Kardashions will always be cheap no matter how much money they have and how many "business" speeches they are giving. I can't stand them. The same with J.Lo. I hope they are only connected because of the kids. That's what I believe, but who knows. I'm waiting for that jazz album.

Kardashian Konnection (104,955) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Speaking of Kardashian Konnection (intentional spelling change), I said this before and I'll say it again, Mariah has a decent music manager (didn't she leave with the RocNation manager?) but for her other publicity stuff Kris Jenner works magic. She literally turned a family with no real talent to a multi billion dollar empire, imagine what she can do with Mariah. Yes Kanye helped them get to the A list, but Mariah is already A+ list celeb, she just needs the proper exposure. Kardashians are no longer trashy with their content. They are very well curated and have done a lot of work to shift their image from reality stars to business moguls. Look at all the speaking events Kim does at Harvard , White House and so much more. They are also well connected. Mariah doesn't really need their connections because she has them either ways but what Kris can do is utilise those. Get her on the Met List, Vogue (how has she never had a Vogue cover), get her all the right interviews, curate her Instagram, brand deals and a lot more. The possibilities are endless and with Mariah trying new things (like finally accepting her nonexistent bad side) why not try the Kardashian effect. I know this is an unpopular opinion but here we are lol. (Tuesday 16 January 2024; 01:16)

Album ideas (104,902) by MusicfanJ from Germany Bill I love all your album ideas. I really wish we would get at least two of your ideas. My favourite would be of course the Jazz album "They call the wind Mariah". I've been listening to "Lullaby of Birdland" and "Nevertheless I'm in Love with you" on repeat. Mariah can sing almost every genre but she's really a hidden jazz lady. And her diva style suits it as well. But the other ideas are also great. I think almost every fan heart would be pleased too.

Album ideas (104,901) by Bill from the UK As it's been over half a decade since Mariah's last album, here are some ideas to help wile away the time. *They Call the Wind Mariah* A collection of jazz standards or jazz influenced numbers. The Wind from Emotions and studio versions of Lullaby of Birdland and Don't Explain could also feature. It would also have some Mariah-penned jazz numbers and some of the old torch songs of old. It'd suit her current voice well. *Mariah Carey Presents... The Butterfly Lounge* Her hits and some fan favourites re-worked a la the Late Night Valentine's version of We Belong Together. Also include The Roof with Brandy. *Reckless* Caution's sequel or counterpart. A companion piece to Caution, with a lighter, brighter, more airy and free feel than the concise, precise, measured delivery of Caution. *I Am Free* (Mariah Carey and the Clark Sisters) Her long awaited gospel album. Much as The Price Sisters and Melanie should have got a credit on the Merry Christmas album for all they brought to the project, this would be a double-billed album as the Clark Sisters will feature on every song, on background and sharing the leads and working with MC on the vocal arrangements. Some new material and some of Mariah's gospel classics, like the title track, re-worked. *And You Don't Remember* Mariah's hidden gems from her old albums in a compilation. No hit singles allowed. This is the space for Vanishing, the title track, Till the End of Time, All I've Ever Wanted, Melt Away, Outside etc. to get their day in the sun. Plus a couple of new vault tracks because why not. *Songs In the Key of MC* As Andrew said, a new vibrant record with a party/E=MC2 vibe. (Friday 12 January 2024; 14:14)

Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You) (104,886) by MusicfanJ from Germany Okay, I was hoping it was live. From the video on YouTube I couldn't tell. Anyway I still think it's time for jazz. We have three Christmas albums plus the animated movie CD, why not a jazz album? (Thursday 11 January 2024; 10:54) this is a reply to message 104,874

Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You) (104,874) by Andrew from the UK Er, it *has* been recorded. What do you think she was lipping to? (Wednesday 10 January 2024; 22:19)

Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You) (104,871) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow, so incredibly good. Indeed this should be recorded and on an album. I wish Mariah would do a complete Jazz album. It's time for one. It really is. (Wednesday 10 January 2024; 21:58) this is a reply to message 104,869

Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You) (104,869) by Stacey from USA Mariah needs to freaking record this song and put it on her next album named SITKOMC. Absolutely beautiful rendition. (Wednesday 10 January 2024; 04:29)

Songs in the Key of MC (104,865) by MusicfanJ from Germany Daydream is the perfect title for an perfect album. I love it too. (Tuesday 9 January 2024; 19:49) this is a reply to message 104,858

Songs in the Key of MC (104,858) by Stacey from USA Daydream is my favorite album title. I bet you're all shocked by that. (Tuesday 9 January 2024; 03:36)

Songs in the Key of MC (104,855) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, The Elusive Chanteuse and The Art of Letting Go would have been good. I prefer Mariah's short album titles. I'm excited for the new one. (Monday 8 January 2024; 13:52) this is a reply to message 104,851

Songs in the Key of MC (104,851) by Libra Lamb from USA I think that is a great idea. She usually comes up with perfect album titles, except MIAMTEC, but including the fans suggestions she would have a lot more to choose from. I don't like Songs in the Key of MC either, Terna is right, it's too similar to Alicia Keys'. The Elusive Chanteuse would have been good enough for me or The Art of Letting Go even better instead of MIAMTEC. BTW Happy New Year everyone. I hope we get new MC album this year.

Article: Mariah Carey celebrates 2024 by posting rare photo (104,784) by MusicfanJ from Germany This is a beautiful pic. I love when Mariah looks relaxed. She doesn't have a bad side. Her smile is the prettiest. (Wednesday 3 January 2024; 11:21) this is a reply to message 104,777

Article: Mariah Carey celebrates 2024 by posting rare photo (104,777) by Edward from USA Where is her bad side? I don't see it. It seems 2024 will be full of surprises. New beginnings, I'm excited. (Wednesday 3 January 2024; 00:56)

Article: Mariah takes a dip in hot tub while wearing gown (104,769) by MusicfanJ from Germany Well the picture is not advantageous. I'm a little tired of hot tub and shopping pictures anyway. Something new would be cool. (Tuesday 2 January 2024; 20:11) this is a reply to message 104,764

Article: Mariah takes a dip in hot tub while wearing gown (104,764) by Edward from USA Mariah looks like her mother in this picture. (Tuesday 2 January 2024; 17:40)

More records fall (104,720) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yeah I'm tired of 2023. It wasn't a good one. I'm hoping for 2024. I'm ready for new music / new album by Mariah. (Saturday 30 December 2023; 13:32) this is a reply to message 104,718

More records fall (104,718) by Robert-Anthony from United States Lol. I didn't catch that she replied to herself. It has been one exhausting week for some of us. The Hot 100 chart news was devastating today. Somebody unearthed Crustella after Tanaka's and MC's breakup announcement to the media. Even I messed up bad this week and had to post my sincere apology. No more relationship analysis from me again. I will never be Dr. Phil. Cheers to the new year. I am ready for 2024. (Saturday 30 December 2023; 03:24)

Tanaka (104,714) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Zac Efron" to play Tanaka. Lol that made my day. Hilarious. (Friday 29 December 2023; 17:16) this is a reply to message 104,710

Tanaka (104,710) by Robert-Anthony from United States The Stella/Mishka storyline during MC's life story would be a screenwriter's goldmine. Meryl Streep and Mayim Bialik could play the dynamic duo. Let's throw in Zac Efron to play Tanaka. (Friday 29 December 2023; 12:05)

Tanaka (104,705) by MusicfanJ from Germany To quote Mariah: I don't know her. Seriously that time with Stella was a nightmare. Something I want to forget. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 22:17) this is a reply to message 104,703

Tanaka (104,703) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Y'all must really be trolling because when Stella was in charge of Mariah's business Mariah's image was down in the gutters. It took years for RocNation to build her back up to the legend status that she truly should have been all along. Stella really had her going around LA in her damn bodysuits and put her in a reality show that was a through and through mess. Also not y'all out here missing a thief who stole from Mariah. Bye. Mariah doesn't need Stella's chunky highlighter and cheap leather jackets in her world. I'd rather her not be "relevant". (Thursday 28 December 2023; 19:35)

Tanaka (104,689) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh yes, I would love him too for Mariah if he wasn't married. It's sad that she has everything except a real loving partner. Bryan seemed like a good soul I hope they are both "fine". (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 17:26) this is a reply to message 104,685

Tanaka (104,685) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I agree with the ideally she should date someone closer to her age and some who is on the same or similar level of success as her. If Dwayne Johnson wasn't married haha he would be my top pick for Mariah. Dude is successful, good looking, her age range and adores Mariah. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 15:37)

Tanaka (104,687) by MusicfanJ from Germany I completey agree. Great post. I don't buy the kids argument too. Mariah always said that after Roc and Monroe there will be no more children. So there must be something else. And yes, a real partner would be better than just an admirer. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 17:12) this is a reply to message 104,682

Tanaka (104,682) by BFF from United States Moving forward, I think Mariah needs to date people closer to her own age and who don't give off the "fanboy" vibes. This is the second time that a relationship with someone significantly younger than her hasn't worked out. Nick and Tanaka both always came off as very adolescent and starstruck about Mariah. Mariah needs someone to be an equal partner, not a fawning admirer. I'm not sure she would like a partner like that, but it's what we all need. It wasn't realistic for Tanaka to expect to have children with someone who is divorced with two pre-teen children in her early to mid 50s. They should have ended the relationship a while ago if that was an expectation. Tanaka is also 40 years old himself. I'm not sure I buy the "he wants kids" argument. Maybe Mariah just got bored? (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 14:01)

We need an uptempo song (104,686) by MusicfanJ from Germany Cool response from Adele. I like her even more that she doesn't feel the need to do a trend for some kids. I get sick if I just hear the word Tik Tok. Lol. I hope Mariah will do her thing without that stupid app too. Good music is needed, nothing more. The best thing about a certain age and mature is that you don't have to follow all stupid trends. A grown-up is above those things. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 15:54) this is a reply to message 104,680

We need an uptempo song (104,680) by Will from England To that I say look up Adele's response to the record company suggesting she should do a song for the TikTok audience. Mariah's older songs go viral on that app without pandering to them, so I don't think this is something she should focus on. She's happier maing music that she likes/wants to make, and if it goes viral, so be it. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 11:55)

Last Christmas number one (104,638) by MusicfanJ from Germany I heard that "Last Christmas" is number one in the UK. I always loved it. It's played a lot here in Germany. I grew up with this Christmas song. Anyway I wish you all Merry Christmas. I hope you have joyful and peaceful days. (Sunday 24 December 2023; 15:07)

Lil Snowman (104,599) by MusicfanJ from Germany I really like this one, I know no comparison to her other [Christmas] songs. But I think it's really fun and I like that "Run Run Rudolph" Rock and Roll vibe. "Christmas time is in the air again" is my favourite right now. So classy and dreamy. "When [Christmas] comes" is another favourite. What are your actual [Christmas] favourites? (Wednesday 20 December 2023; 15:26)

Obsessed in the UK (104,597) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes I love it too. Just like the video, I loved both immediately. But homehow some people here expected something different by Mariah. I also think it's a typical up-tempo Mariah. They are always great. (Tuesday 19 December 2023; 17:12) this is a reply to message 104,587

Obsessed in the UK (104,587) by Zachariah from Croatia I adore [It's like that]. I think it should go at number one and I think it is a typical Mariah upbeat song as a first single of an album, like Honey for Butterfly, like Heartbreaker for Rainbow. (Monday 18 December 2023; 20:58)

Obsessed in the UK (104,584) by MusicfanJ from Germany That could be one reason. Plus "Obsessed" is so untypical for a Mariah single. I remember when "It's like that" came out, a lot of friends told me it didn't sound like a Mariah song. With "We belong together" they were fine. (Monday 18 December 2023; 13:42) this is a reply to message 104,577

Obsessed in the UK (104,577) by Zachariah from Croatia I think usage of auto tune throw people away from loving it to the fullest. Plus the remix with Gucci Mane was just the same song with extra male verse. (Sunday 17 December 2023; 22:19)

Article: Mariah Carey stops by Library of Congress (104,575) by MusicfanJ from Germany Lol I didn't think of it that way. But when I was in the first grade in 91 my teacher had the mentioned ensemble. She was the principal and even as a kid I always noticed her elegant outfit. Anyway the ensemble really suits Mariah. MC the principal. (Sunday 17 December 2023; 14:36) this is a reply to message 104,568

Article: Mariah Carey stops by Library of Congress (104,568) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC was emulating what a teacher would wear. The two piece dress suit was a popular ensemble for teachers back in the late 80s and early 90s. (Sunday 17 December 2023; 00:29)

Article: Mariah Carey stops by Library of Congress (104,574) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, absolutely beautiful. I always love a classy and more natural look. (Sunday 17 December 2023; 14:27) this is a reply to message 104,567

Article: Mariah Carey stops by Library of Congress (104,567) by Stacey from USA I kinda wish she'd dress like this all the time. (Saturday 16 December 2023; 23:20)

Mimi send Brenda flowers (104,470) by MusicfanJ from Germany This is so sweet. (Friday 8 December 2023; 13:15) this is a reply to message 104,455

Mimi send Brenda flowers (104,455) by jaker20 from US That just goes to show what kind of hear Mariah has. She is all about the spirit of the season. (Thursday 7 December 2023; 21:18)

Number one (104,390) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm happy for Brenda too. What a cool lady. The new video is cute. (Monday 4 December 2023; 14:37) this is a reply to message 104,386

Number one (104,386) by Tameka walker from United states If Mariah doesn't make it to number one this week I am sure that it will be number one before Christmas. I love Mariah and I love her Christmas song and I hope it hits number one before Christmas. Brenda's song is nice too. If they can share for instance one be number one one week and then the other the next it doesn't take anything away from Mariah. She can't be number one forever. And I realize that. Here's to Mariah and Brenda. (Monday 4 December 2023; 02:44)

Rockin' Around (104,388) by MusicfanJ from Germany I have seen so many versions of "If it's over", maybe I have it on my laptop. But I'm too lazy to check it. The background of the performance and the video somehow seemed "new" to me, so it's okay if you're all shocked. But I remember East 17 with "Stay another day" and "It's alright" they were huge in the good old Bundesrepublik Deutschland too. The good 90ies, I miss them. They were so much better compared to today not only chartwise. And we could go carefree to Christmas markets, I'm depressed because what's going on here since 2015. I'll stop it here and say something nice. It's snowing right now. It looks like a winter wonderland. I saw the new video with Brenda in a morning show. It was nice. Mariah and Brenda could do a Rockabilly Christmas song together. Would be fun. We have a Justin Bieber version, why not something with Brenda Lee? (Monday 4 December 2023; 14:27) this is a reply to message 104,381

Rockin' Around (104,381) by Andrew from the UK Yuh-huh. "Rockin Around the Christmes Tree" I might call a "cute little ditty". I know it from Home Alone and wasn't exactly enthralled by it then. It's no "I Love Sausage Rolls". Doesn't even come close to that masterpiece. Thought it might be fun for non-Brits to watch the video for "Stay Another Day" by East 17: this is the song that, 29 years ago, kept Mariah from being the UK Christmas No.1 (I cried). Check out the masterpiece music video. Considering it's a song about suicide, again "I Love Sausage Rolls" it isn't. Which ought to feature a warning that it might make you want to commit suicide. MusicFanJ is given a free pass for the (shocking) oversight of never having seen Mariah sing "If It's Over" at the Grammys, for, I believe, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" also reached Number 2 at Christmas in 1994 in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Y'know, back when charts were quite simple and meant something and not full of ridiculous calculations that you'd need a doctorate to understand win an entire album of tracks from one artist comprising an entire top 10. I'd feel old saying that. But I still look young and beautiful. (Sunday 3 December 2023; 20:45)

Emotions formula (104,380) by MusicfanJ from Germany No, certainly not. Lol I know almost all her live gigs, but not all. I'm happy that I missed some, so I can enjoy it now. I'm sure I know some gigs and interviews she did in Germany, France, Italy and UK which you don't know as well. (Sunday 3 December 2023; 20:28) this is a reply to message 104,376

Emotions formula (104,376) by Edward from USA Have you been living under a rock? As an old time fan you should know about this performance. I'm hereby stripping you from your lamb status. Now you're just a regular fan. You'll regain you lamb status when you start purchasing and streaming AIWFCIY until it reaches number one again. (Sunday 3 December 2023; 19:56)
