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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

QOC (101,644) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes. I think it's okay when people call her "Queen of Christmas". But it's no brandmark. I love Christmas and Mariah's Christmas songs, but less is more. I don't need cookies and all the other stuff. I'm happy with the classic "MC album", MC II", the deluxe edition and The Star soundtrack. (Wednesday 16 November 2022; 20:26) this is a reply to message 101,640

QOC (101,640) by Bill from the UK I disagree. It was ridiculous and nothing but a money grab. She can be called it (and will be) but she has no business owning the rights to it. Absolutely abhorrent. (Wednesday 16 November 2022; 16:21)

Appreciation for "Bring on the Heartache" [sic] (101,613) by MusicfanJ from Germany Absolutely. The song is outstanding. It sticks out from "Chatmbracelet". For me a surprising but still classic Mariah song at it's best. I always say I need a Mariah jazz album (still do) but I would also take a "80ies style rock album". Mariah's look and tribute to "The Rose" were wonderful. She looks so pretty with Boho-style. (Wednesday 9 November 2022; 13:56) this is a reply to message 101,611

Appreciation for "Bring on the Heartache" [sic] (101,611) by Matty from Vancouver Canada This cover (Bring on the Heartache [sic]) needs way more love then it ever gets. The interpretation of this song, the video, the cloths, style and head scarf, the build up, the full belts, the whistle note, the electric guitar. This is what Rock-Riah looks and sounds like. I feel like it gets lost in the mix (no pun intended, Mix-ish) for some reason. What if this was the lead single from Charmbracelet instead of TTR?. This song makes a statement, and gives me all the tingles and feels. I’d love if Mariah did an ‘80’s style rock album like this. Give us raspy, give us pain, give us Boho fashion and the big hair dahling. (Tuesday 8 November 2022; 19:20)

Who should play Mariah on her biopic series? (101,596) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh it's from 2018. I never heard anything of it. Thanks for the info. I need to watch this. The documentary style looks good. (Friday 4 November 2022; 13:48) this is a reply to message 101,595

Who should play Mariah on her biopic series? (101,595) by bliss! from Brazil It's that kind of documentary where there are parts dramatized by actors. I think they call it "docudrama"? Anyway, it used to be on YouTube, but now I can't find it. You can read more info on IMDB. It has a better score than Glitter, lol. 6,8 is not bad at all. (Friday 4 November 2022; 00:09)

Who should play Mariah on her biopic series? (101,593) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow, this lady would be perfect to play Mariah. Totally looks like her. I love biopics, I hope the project will come to life. (Thursday 3 November 2022; 19:43) this is a reply to message 101,589

Who should play Mariah on her biopic series? (101,589) by bliss! from Brazil Mariah is seeking a lead actress to play her in a series inspired by her memoir "The Meaning of Mariah Carey". According to her, she doesn't care if the actress can sing, she just wants a talented actress. Do you guys have any suggestions? PS: I would also like to point out that the doppelganger who played her in the Lifetime movie (Mariah: The Diva, the Demons, the Drama) really looked like her and could be a body double or something lol. You can find her on Instagram by the alias @Mariahlookalike and her name is Jessica Castro. An image of her as Mariah at the beginning of her career. (Thursday 3 November 2022; 16:04)

Nick Cannon (101,558) by MusicfanJ from Germany Absolutely. It's totally embarassing. Poor Mariah, poor kids. Unbelievable. (Thursday 27 October 2022; 13:09) this is a reply to message 101,555

Nick Cannon (101,555) by Robert-Anthony from United States No way. That man needs to stop. No wonder MC has lost her voice. She is probably embarrassed for Roc and Roe. (Thursday 27 October 2022; 00:22)

Concert in Saudi Arabia (101,537) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, it seems so. It's somehow sad. I'm okay with the perfume (I own two) and Pepsi was cool for example (nice commercial) but the other things are not needed. Well, one don't have to understand and like everything. (Monday 24 October 2022; 19:25) this is a reply to message 101,532

Concert in Saudi Arabia (101,532) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I already told you Mariah would do anything for money: performing for dictators, shoes, clothes, water, hard liquor, jewelry, perfumes, candy, cookies, hostels, chips, McDonald's, bitcoins, champagne, sex toys, dating apps, etc. (Monday 24 October 2022; 16:03)

Concert in Saudi Arabia (101,531) by MusicfanJ from Germany With the money, I don't understand it. If Mariah hasn't financially secure, then I don't know who has. She is finanacially free since 90/91. I'm gonna to listen to the unplugged album and enjoy it to the fullest. (Monday 24 October 2022; 15:55) this is a reply to message 101,528

Concert in Saudi Arabia (101,528) by Bill from the UK Quite. I can put my hand on my heart and say that I could have sang better than Mariah did. Honestly. That is what is really worrying. Someone whose voice was completely untouchable, and as Tommy said when he discovered her, "she is the best singer I have ever heard", to actually being one of the worst singers still performing, is almost incredible. It's so sad to witness. She can live off AIWFCIY's annual royalties, so why does she need the "money grab"? Retire from singing and write songs for others and focus on your other projects. The dolls have stopped dancing now. (Monday 24 October 2022; 13:24)

Touch My Body (101,513) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yeah, I also think the song gets better and better. [E=MC2] had so much potential, so many radio-friendly songs. (Saturday 22 October 2022; 15:54) this is a reply to message 101,506

Touch My Body (101,506) by Terna from Nigeria This song goes hard in a peculiar satisfying way. It hasn't aged at all and even sounds stronger today. It came on when working out on my playlist and it was a pleasant surprise to listen to after not playing it in quite a while. Just a total bop and fun record, I can see why it went number one. . Funny enough it is one of those rare moments that in hind sight, the video is a perfect match for the song. Haha. Why was that era so short? (Friday 21 October 2022; 23:25)

Re: Full of grace (101,451) (101,452) by MusicfanJ from Germany "No one can top that. Vision of Love is the proof of that. Of course I want her success in the future, but she has proven so much at this point that it's almost not human." So true. And "Vision of Love" still blows me away. What an intro to the music world for a 20 age young Mariah. Magical, genius and unsurpassed. (Friday 14 October 2022; 19:50) this is a reply to message 101,451

Re: Full of grace (101,446) (101,451) by TJ from Norway Dear Terna. Welcome to the club. I remember years ago, when you could not write a message like this. We all miss that MC we used to know, and I guess you now understand the goats from the early 90's. I love the performance you refer to, and I wish she could still do that, but at this point I'm thinking that she has nothing more to prove, and I will always think of that out of this world voice she provided us with in the beginning of her career. No one can top that. Vision of Love is the proof of that. Of course I want her success in the future, but she has proven so much at this point that it's almost not human. (Friday 14 October 2022; 16:44)

Re: What MC albums have you never bought? (101,438) (101,439) by MusicfanJ from Germany Funny, I haven't bought exactly the same: #1s to Infinity and the Ballads. (Wednesday 12 October 2022; 13:28)

Re: Global Citizen (101,338) (101,353) by MusicfanJ from Germany The Heartbreaker-Honey part was cool. I also liked the Butterfly t-shirt from Bryan and the dancers. The audience seemed to have fun. (Tuesday 27 September 2022; 21:21)

Frances O'Connor (101,352) by MusicfanJ from Germany Every time I watch a movie with young Frances O'Connor I think she looks a bit like Mariah. Especially the scene on the beach with Brendan Fraser on "Bedazzeled". Just something funny I wanted to share. (Tuesday 27 September 2022; 21:09)

Re: Global Citizen (101,332) (101,333) by MusicfanJ from Germany Randy, I know what you mean. I think the ones who grew up with her music or "know" Mariah for so long have another view on certain things. But we always want her to "win" and that she gives the best she can. I haven't watched the performance yet, I hope I can find it online today. I'm glad that most of you liked her gig. (Monday 26 September 2022; 12:37)

Re: Country not Jazz? (101,291) (101,292) by MusicfanJ from Germany I would also love a country album from Mariah. "Right to Dream" and "Help me make it trough the night" are wonderful. What I love about Mariah is, that she can do any music genre and sounds phenomenel. Country and Jazz [are] complete different styles, but Mariah can do both of them. I'm even curious about the rock-grunge album. (Thursday 22 September 2022; 11:10)

The beautiful ones (101,259) by MusicfanJ from Germany Just wow, even after a thousand time listening. Lol. From the first second to the end, a true masterpiece. The end of the song is "giving me life". (Sunday 18 September 2022; 15:37)

Re: My All (101,255) (101,258) by MusicfanJ from Germany I really enjoyed to read the link with the charts from 97. Good music, I could listen to all the songs today with a smile. I'm so happy to have witnessed the 90ies music. But I can't believe it's been 25 years since Butterfly was released. I remember it, as it was yesterday. I love the two new remixes, it takes me back to a better time. Almost like the time machine from "Doc Brown". The live versions of "Butterfly" and "My All" are very emotional and so good, although well-known by the lambily. Butterfly is the perfect album for autumn. Thanks to Mariah for giving us the anniversary edition for Butterfly. It's good for the soul. (Sunday 18 September 2022; 15:23)

Re: If Butterfly single was released (101,241) (101,243) by MusicfanJ from Germany Excatly, it was released in Europe. I remember it was played a lot on MTV but didn't chart high compared to "Honey". So I also think "Butterfly" wouldn't have been a "hit" in the US at that time. "Honey" and "My all" were the number ones, rightly so. I would have loved to see "The roof" at number one back then, maybe on the US charts. But all the live performances with "Butterfly" and the video playing on MTV, the many interviews with MC, it was wonderful. So many good memories. The music generally had another quality.
