Re: MC / Merry Christmas (97,030) (97,034) by MusicfanJ from Germany Merry Christmas Jono and to all of you. It's a special Christmas this year. I hope we can all enjoy the holidays and find a little peace. Stay save. (Thursday 24 December 2020; 21:47)

Re: The "perfect" R&B album (outside of Mariah's world) (97,012) (97,013) by MusicfanJ from Germany Alicia Keys "The diary of Alicia Keys" Brian McKnight "Anytime" Babyface "Greatest hits" John Legend "Once again" I guess it's more Nu Soul than RnB Lauryn Hill "The miseducation of Lauryn Hill" Leon Bridges "Good thing" another Nu Soul gemacht Neyo "Year of the gentleman" is also a favourite (Tuesday 22 December 2020; 13:07)

Mariah hits number one in Germany (96,972) by MusicfanJ from Germany So after the US and UK, Mariah has another one chart position on the official German single charts. Wham is at number two by the way. Just wow. I have a feeling that "AIWFCIY" gets bigger and bigger each year. (Thursday 17 December 2020; 19:47)

Re: AIWFCIY finally hits #1 in the UK (96,929) (96,949) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm also sorry to hear that. Get well soon Edward. We have now a hard lockdown here, it's sadly needed. Stay save everyone. (Tuesday 15 December 2020; 12:05)

Oh Santa new lyric video / Apple interview (96,892) by MusicfanJ from Germany This is really sweet. I've also watched the Apple interview. Very enjoyable. Mariah was shining, beautiful. I loved how she talked about all the music and of course about Christmas. (Wednesday 9 December 2020; 19:43)

Re: Signal to MC (96,859) (96,875) by MusicfanJ from Germany Forever 12 dahling. Seriously you are right. You explained it very well. I do think that's how the music business works today. (Monday 7 December 2020; 11:00)

Re: Oh Santa 2010 girl group (96,854) (96,874) by MusicfanJ from Germany Sadly we will never hear it, but that vocal trinity would be the best on earth. At least we have "When you believe". Can anyone imagine Mariah and Josh Groban? Maybe in the future for the duets album. (Monday 7 December 2020; 10:54)

Worldwide iTunes chart: number 1 and 2 (96,858) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow I just saw this. Congratulations MC. It seems like she is the ultimate Christmas queen. Of course for us she is so much more. I remember when I got the Christmas album in 99 together with "The ones". Who knew that Mariah would conquer the charts in 2020 again with her Christmas songs. She is a miracle for sure. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 19:48)

St. John the Divine concert (96,857) by MusicfanJ from Germany I still love this one. On my sound system it really sounds like you are in that church. The remixes are also fun. With some apple punch the house is rocking. Love the deluxe album. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 19:33)

Re: Oh Santa 2020 (96,807) (96,809) by MusicfanJ from Germany I was thinking absolutely the same about everything you mention. The nails do look creepy, reminded me of the movie Oz. The business concept, I just don't feel it too. MC's ensemble is not a good choice. But like you said, many seem to love it. I even enjoy the Bieber/Mariah clip more, it's funny. (Friday 4 December 2020; 14:56)

Re: Oh Santa 2020 (96,791) (96,801) by MusicfanJ from Germany Somehow it's too "much" for my taste. Ariana looks and sings like from a high school musical, Jennifer Hudson was good but really looked a little "uncomfortable". Mariah seemed to have fun. I prefer the original one. (Friday 4 December 2020; 11:55)

Sugar Plum Fairy Interlude (96,730) by MusicfanJ from Germany I started the Christmas music celebration with this one. I love the original melody and Mariah truly sounds like a magical fairy. I never needed the Christmas spirit more than this year. Everything is decorated. We still have the "lockdown light". It will be less shopping and no traveling. But MC will give me joy for the Christmas time for sure. Stay save everyone. (Thursday 26 November 2020; 16:00)

Re: Burning bridges (96,702) (96,705) by MusicfanJ from Germany I do believe she "burns bridges" completely. It's often easier and sometimes it can be the only way. But as you write sometimes it's good not to break completely. It's difficult. With time comes a feeling what to do. If "everything fades away" it's very sad hurtful. (Saturday 21 November 2020; 20:02)

Re: Morgan (96,699) (96,701) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yeah I knew this too. (Saturday 21 November 2020; 14:00)

Re: O Santa? O Mariah (96,681) (96,689) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Ariana's voice is nothing" compared to a lot of other great singers. I like Jennifer Hudson, she will sound wonderful for sure. (Friday 20 November 2020; 11:33)

Re: Exact lyrics (96,646) (96,648) by MusicfanJ from Germany "The tone and power of her voice was out of this world." Absolutely yes. The intro of "One night" makes me want to listen to it again and again. Her Daydream voice was kind of magical. (Monday 16 November 2020; 20:32)

Re: Underneath The Stars video (96,619) (96,626) by MusicfanJ from Germany The song and the video makes me very nostalgic too. Daydream made me a fan so I can just love the video. I like the innocent princess vibe and the backstage scenes. The casual base cap is very sweet on her too. She was so young then, looks like baby MC. Haha. I had to laugh a little about the sign in the concert hall: David Bowie, Neil Young and Celine Dion. (Saturday 14 November 2020; 18:01)

Stacey (96,625) by MusicfanJ from Germany Stacey I'm sorry to hear that with your husband. I hope he gets well soon. I don't have anxiety but I'm afraid of the pandemic since February. I also wish the Americans good luck with the new president. As an European I will just say I like how Mr. Biden talks and most of us here in Germany are happy with the vote. I used to be in an German-American friendship Club so I know how divided the opinions can be. I guess it's the same in almost every other country with the politics. I enjoy your posts like most of the messages here. But the behavior from some posters reminds me of kindergarten. (Saturday 14 November 2020; 14:20)

Re: I'm an actor daaahling (96,537) (96,540) by MusicfanJ from Germany I like Wise Girls too. Best movie with MC. That women trio was nice to watch, the role of Mariah in the movie fitted very well. The music ist also so good. "Make it go away", love the song. (Thursday 5 November 2020; 12:55)

Re: I'm an actor daaahling (96,530) (96,531) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes I agree with Will on everything about Mariah's acting too. But not with Marilyn. She was one of the greatest, a real natural talent. I just watched "River of no return" and the acting was great. She wasn't only a sex-symbol, she was a great and stunning actress. But she was underrated by many because of her beauty and sex-appeal. (Wednesday 4 November 2020; 15:00)

Re: Mariah Carey season (96,497) (96,499) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's cool. Enjoy the turkey and the tree. I'm a little sad because the Christmas time can't be celebrated like last year, with meeting friends because of the pandemic, but I'll do the best to have it festive. Decoration everywhere, MC's music everywhere, many cookies and a lot of hot glühwein (mulled wine). (Monday 2 November 2020; 11:41)

Re: Where I Belong should be a single (96,472) (96,476) by MusicfanJ from Germany Here in Germany will be no clubbing too. We have a new "lockdown light" on monday for at least one month. And definitily no Christmas market which is for me harder than if the clubs are closed. What a sad time. I think I'll play a lot of "Miss you most (at Christmas time)" this year. Stay save everyone. And to the American lambs/fans I wish "Happy Halloween"/nice holiday. I love the pumpkins and the Indian Summer which we have right now too here. (Saturday 31 October 2020; 13:16)

Re: This should be a single, Busta & MC (96,463) (96,468) by MusicfanJ from Germany Nice surprise. It sounds pretty good. Laid back RNB. That should be "charts friendly" worldwide. (Friday 30 October 2020; 19:26)

Re: Another book review (96,449) (96,453) by MusicfanJ from Germany That could be. I just wished that the relationship is true. Because he seems kind-hearted, but who knows. Yes, I noticed the pic with Rae Rae and Mark Sudack. He seemed to be just like a good distraction, nothing more. No words about him at all. Meanwhile Luis Miguel has his own chapter. (Thursday 29 October 2020; 12:18)

Re: Another book review (96,444) (96,448) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I feel similary. The childhood chapter felt honest and heartbreaking. The stuff about the family even more sad, also she were talking about some things before. The chapter about moving to NYC at the end of the 80ies was exerciting. I think the sing sing chapter wasn't a surprise for most of her fans either. I enjoyed "the story" about Derek Jeter and all the great songs he inspired her. Her love for Christmas and Marilyn Monroe was also nice to read. The few words about Nick Cannon says a lot too. I was surprised that Mr. Tanaka hasn't got an own chapter. That she didn't talk about Stella and that time is understandable. Too embarassing also I still wonder why that happened at all? One member of MCA was wondering about the Christmas song with Pat. I thought they same, it makes little sense to do a song with her, if she was so bad to her. The epiloge was nice, that everyone should protect their dreams. I would have added "and check sometimes if it's still your dream because it can change". Just a few thoughts after reading TMOMC. Plus I love the pictures inside of the book.
