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

Re: Andrew's one trick pony (97,762) (97,765) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes your point is coming across properly. Thanks. The market often gets me with the 19.99 trick. Personally I think the youth madness is totally overrated because for my taste people are really getting interesting at their late twenties and at 30. Of course Mariah had charisma since day one but was getting more and more interesting too. (Wednesday 7 April 2021; 10:15)

Re: Andrew's one trick pony (97,760) (97,761) by MusicfanJ from Germany I still don't get it. Of course the media has youth-madness. But where's the diffrence between the best new singer (the one and only Mariah) at age 20 or 21 with the debut. It's ridiculous. One year is nothing, it makes no sense to me.

Re: Mariah's "real birthdate" (97,713) (97,714) by MusicfanJ from Germany This is so cool. Thank you for posting it. Huntington 69. What a special newspaper. Who knew that this baby Mariah would be the queen of the music in the 90ies worldwide. (Tuesday 30 March 2021; 11:28)

Re: Happy Anniversary Mariah (97,696) (97,698) by MusicfanJ from Germany Happy Birthday Mariah. Yes, I Know you don't count numbers but I wish you all the best for your day. Stay happy and healthy and enjoy the festive "anniversary". All the lambs around the world will celebrate you and your wonderful music. (Saturday 27 March 2021; 16:14)

Bonnie Tyler's disbelief at Mariah Carey's comment (97,675) by MusicfanJ from Germany Nice article. I love Bonnie Tyler. A humble star and really sweet. Her 80ies hits are still great to listen to. That she makes her hair and make-up by herself makes her even more sweet. Mariah and Bonnie together on a plane, really cool. (Tuesday 23 March 2021; 11:54)

Re: Covid19 (97,625) (97,627) by MusicfanJ from Germany Hi TJ, I'm very tired too. The highlight of the week is shopping at the supermarket and walking in the woods. I miss the normal life before covid so much. The case numbers are rising up again, it's just depressing. But luckily I'm well (but the nerves are down). I hope you are well too and of course all the other MCA members who have a hard time. (Friday 19 March 2021; 20:49)

Re: Defamation (97,610) (97,613) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, there's only one truth. There can be different opinions and points of view but that doesn't change the truth or a lie. What I do believe, Mariah is clearly not "anti-white". Her biggest idol is Marilyn Monroe. But maybe it bothers her that most of her non-fans think she's white. Mariah is so lucky with her talent and beauty, I think she can be very happy with it. I watched "Honey" yesterday and was still blown away by her beauty and the cool video after such a long time. What a woman. (Thursday 18 March 2021; 17:49)

Re: Bey gets her 28th Grammy (97,582) (97,583) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's hilariious and shows once more that the music industry is dead at the moment. I only remember the song with Jay-Z (her first solo single, which was okay but nothing special), then some radio/chart hits but I wouldn't listen to one song on CD or streaming. I must admit that I really liked Beyoncé while she was with Destiny's Child. That was great RNB. But Beyoncé as a singer is totally overrated for my taste. A beautiful woman but her music doesen't reach me at all (emotionally). (Monday 15 March 2021; 11:26)

Re: Rumours (97,570) (97,574) by MusicfanJ from Germany Haha, yes I can imagine this too. Lol. "My heart will go on" is and always will be Celine's song and that's good. In 97 Mariah wouldn"t like a song for "Titanic", but I always thought she would have been perfect for a James Bond song. (Friday 12 March 2021; 18:41)

Re: Tommy Mottola, a monster? (97,559) (97,560) by MusicfanJ from Germany "The focus was mostly on her music - not on being famous, not on her personal life, not on her image." Yes it was all about her music for which she became the superstar around the world. Tommy wasn't the right man for her private life for sure, but for the business part he was a great choice. He did the best for the success. Her first albums are the reason why she's so legendary even at the early age at the late ninenties. (Tuesday 9 March 2021; 18:21)

Re: Bruno Mars' Leave Door Open (97,550) (97,551) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's nice to listen to. I always like smooth soul with real instruments. Compared to all the trash and the same sounding songs on the charts it's really nice to have one song which has a melody and a band behind it. (Sunday 7 March 2021; 12:40)

Re: My ranking of Mariah's albums (97,493) (97,494) by MusicfanJ from Germany I had the black Sony Walkman too. I was so proud to own my first Walkman. Haha. And the cassette which was played endlessly was "Daydream". I still have the original cassette. (Friday 26 February 2021; 19:02)

One Night (97,473) by MusicfanJ from Germany The song gets better and better. It really sounds like the "afterparty" version of "ABMB". The rarities are still giving me pure enjoyment. (Wednesday 24 February 2021; 16:12)

Re: My ranking of Mariah's albums (97,434) (97,444) by MusicfanJ from Germany 01. Daydream 02. Butterfly 03. Emotions 04. Music Box 05. Mariah Carey 06. Merry Chistmas 07. Glitter 08. E=MC2 09.

Re: Get a grip (97,436) (97,439) by MusicfanJ from Germany Lol it's a piece of "rip-off". That prize for a book is hilarious. But yes, of course it's "art". Rihanna could spend the the earning for a a social thing. That would make sense. (Monday 22 February 2021; 11:47)

Re: Last Night a DJ Saved My Life - songs about Derek (97,410) (97,412) by MusicfanJ from Germany That man was truly an inspiration. I love all the songs about him/them. "In the mix" is fantasic, it has a little fantasy vibe, such a feel-good song. (Friday 19 February 2021; 20:10)

Re: Raindream? (97,363) (97,364) by MusicfanJ from Germany "The whole package screamed artist. In a way that she hasn't done in a long long time." Absolutely agree. It is really a nice, positive surprise. The look and the WBT version with the band makes "appetite" for more. (Saturday 13 February 2021; 17:26)

Re: Charmbracelet era (97,357) (97,361) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I went to the concert too and was blown away by her vocals. Way better than on the Charmbracelet album. I still think of the "Bringin' on the Heartbreak" version as one of her best stage presence ever. It was magic. The whole concert was fire. Mariah was shining. (Saturday 13 February 2021; 12:25)

Re: What other music are people into right now? (97,346) (97,347) by MusicfanJ from Germany Since the last two years I'm totally into soul music and retro soul like Leon Bridges, Ben l'Oncle Soul and Jazz. (That's why I would love a Jazz album from Mariah "Lullaby of Birdland" is so good and still a favourite from The Rarities.) I also love electronic funk from the 80ies. And sometimes French chanson and blues it really depends on the mood. (Friday 12 February 2021; 13:58)

Re: Mariah Carey's sister sues over tell-all memoir (97,279) (97,280) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm so tired to read about the "ex-family". I wish all the stuff would have been kept private. (Wednesday 3 February 2021; 15:45)

Re: Lullaby remix (97,267) (97,269) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love "Lullaby" too. Since first listen. Such a cool, dreamy song. (Tuesday 2 February 2021; 12:25)

Re: Auld Lang Syne (97,080) (97,082) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I thought the same. It gets a bit boring. More authencitiy would be nice. After 2020 I'm really tired of superficial things. I know that's how the Instagram "works" but here and there some authencitiy would work too. One can dream. (Saturday 2 January 2021; 11:06)

Tokyo Dome: Anytime you need a friend (97,065) by MusicfanJ from Germany It doesn't matter how often I watch this song, every time I'm overwhelmed by the classic performance. So powerful with so much soul. Mariah was out of this world at that night. That lucky audience. Sayonara. (Thursday 31 December 2020; 20:16)

Re: Best wishes (97,061) (97,064) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes best wishes for all of us. I'm watching Mariah at Toyko Dome right now. It's funny that I know every word she's talking to the audience. Epic. Cheers to a better 2021. (Thursday 31 December 2020; 19:37)

Re: Tokyo Dome concert (97,038) (97,047) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, it will be a included for "Pop around the clock" which is a TV special for New Years Eve. That's such a nice surprise with the Daydream concert. I'll watch and enjoy it. I love that concert so much. (Tuesday 29 December 2020; 12:59)
