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

Christmas (112,779) by MusicfanJ from Germany Merry Christmas everyone. It's been a very hard year. I hope next year will be better. I heard "One child" today on the radio. (Friday 26 December 2025; 17:55) this is a reply to message 112,777

Christmas (112,777) by Dove from United States Merry Christmas. (Friday 26 December 2025; 16:03)

IYF vs NII (112,766) by MusicfanJ from Germany I would choose NII too. It would be really perfect for the olympics. (Wednesday 24 December 2025; 23:27) this is a reply to message 112,754

IYF vs NII (112,754) by Lara from Middle East Although [in your feelings] might be more mainstream, I think NII would be cheaper to have as video other than glamour shots. She can use backstage moments of her triumphant video shoot fall or the NYE fiasco followed by her netter performances. She can use stories from the Olympians overcoming adversity since she's performing for the winter Olympics. (Tuesday 23 December 2025; 22:08)

Someone's Ugly Daughter by Bianca (112,700) by MusicfanJ from Germany Absolutely. I find it quite interesting that her voice almost changes with each album. For me the biggest change was with Butterfly, Rainbow and MIAMTEC. (Monday 15 December 2025; 18:08) this is a reply to message 112,690

Someone's Ugly Daughter by Bianca (112,690) by Lighty from China Is it every three albums though? I think Mariah's voice changes with each album, especially after Music Box. Even #1's and Rainbow are not exactly the same, vocally. (Monday 15 December 2025; 03:41)

Article: Mariah Carey's grunge album release date revealed (112,672) by MusicfanJ from Germany Great news. A grunge album will surprise everybody. And it's a wonderful gift for the fans/lambs. Imagine Daydream Mariah doing grunge. Incredible. By the way Mariah is on number one in Germany too with AIWFIY. It rhymes. I just heard the "news" on the radio. (Saturday 13 December 2025; 15:05)

Article: Did Mariah Carey, Anderson .Paak break up? (112,671) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Allegedly split and Carey is currently dating one of her dancers." Hmm I hope the first thing is true and the second not. (Saturday 13 December 2025; 14:56)

Sugar Plum Fairy Interlude (112,644) by MusicfanJ from Germany Sorry little mistake, with the relax song I meant "Christmas time is in the air again". Such a beautiful, timeless song. (Wednesday 10 December 2025; 19:19) this is a reply to message 112,641

Sugar Plum Fairy Interlude (112,641) by MusicfanJ from Germany I started a bit late with listening to Christmas music, but now Mariah has got/enchanted me again. I still enjoy her deluxe edition from Merry Christmas. The sugar plum intro is so Mariah. The live versions from the church are a true gift. With the albums MC and MC2 I switch them with my mood of the day. I love MC2 but when I listen to Merry Christmas it also brings back memories. It was a better time, that I really miss. Mariah and the album reminds me of that. I'm very thankful for it. Funny side note: I watched the Peanuts movie and thought hey that's Mariah's intro. Lol. I hope you all enjoy the season although it's such a busy one. "Christmas time is here" is perfect for relaxation. (Wednesday 10 December 2025; 16:24)

Would you rather? (112,621) by MusicfanJ from Germany I completely agree. Taylor Swift may be a good entertainer (but nothing special). But she is very smart with business and partners and has a very good image. MJ was a phenomenon. Oh yes, he was. Pure talent I witnessed through the whole 90ies. What he started with the Jackson's 5 and later as a solo artist is unique. I miss his music so much. When I hear the "Earth song", "They don't care about us", "Who is it", "Dirty Diana" or "Stranger in Moscow" on my radio station I often get goosebumps. What a sound. Something I never get with the all the other songs on the radio, except Mariah's ballads or with "Sitting on the dock on the bay". MJ will always be the King of Pop. There will never be another one.

Would you rather? (112,614) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Bobby A I adore you, but please let's never compare Taylor to MJ. This is coming from someone who listens to Taylor's music and I too have quote how Taylor is definitely a master marketing machine. But MJ is on a league of his own and his career hasn't been matched and won't ever be matched. Beyoncé tried and failed. MJ was a phenomenon, a total powerhouse and launched a billion careers due to his influence especially at a time where there was no social media. He was pure talent, no gimmicks, no clever marketing. He was just the kind of artist we will probably never experience again. Taylor Swift is a powerhouse in her own right but I don't think she is of Michael's caliber and influence. She knows how to control the narrative and market herself and that's what works for her. (Saturday 6 December 2025; 17:00)

2026 Plans for Here For It All? (112,601) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, absolutely. This album simply can't be ignored. I don't understand it too. (Friday 5 December 2025; 12:03) this is a reply to message 112,598

2026 Plans for Here For It All? (112,598) by Stacey from USA I'm still miffed we didn't get anything for Daydream's 30th anniversary. (Thursday 4 December 2025; 20:54)

Article: Mariah set for "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" special (112,593) by MusicfanJ from Germany I thought the same. I hope it's not [too] much pressure for her. But it's surely a lot of stress with all the people watching it on TV and online. (Thursday 4 December 2025; 14:27) this is a reply to message 112,589

Article: Mariah set for "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" special (112,589) by Randy from USA We never learn lessons, do we? (Thursday 4 December 2025; 00:04)

Muni Long (112,572) by MusicfanJ from Germany I didn't know her too. And I think you didn't miss anything. I hope if in the future there's another duet, it will be a real musician, not just a "trendy" youngster. (Monday 1 December 2025; 11:53) this is a reply to message 112,559

Muni Long (112,559) by Edward from USA You're not the only one, I didn't know who she was either. (Sunday 30 November 2025; 14:55)

Prince (112,546) by MusicfanJ from Germany So much money, but no good behave. Something you can't buy. Muni Long wasn't clever to show such "humour". How I miss the times where there were real superstars out there like Prince and Michael. My mother always liked Prince better than MJ, but I think it's hard to compare the two genius men musicwise. I really wish this hidden MJ and Mariah song will someday be released. By the way I love Mariah's version of "The beautiful ones". (Saturday 29 November 2025; 19:38) this is a reply to message 112,545

Prince (112,545) by Bobby A from United States Muni Long's net worth is only about 1.5 to 2 million. She has a long way to go to catch up to MC's net worth of 300 million. (Saturday 29 November 2025; 12:12)

Muni Long what? (112,518) by MusicfanJ from Germany Muni Long seems like a typical "young" wannabe. If Mariah hadn't done this one song with her, I wouldn't know who she is. She is totally unknown here. Maybe some teens know her. Her voice is okay, but nothing special. I wish Mariah had done a song with Toni Braxton, Sade or Jessie Ware. Women with class and way more power. (Tuesday 25 November 2025; 17:31) this is a reply to message 112,516

Muni Long what? (112,516) by Bobby A from United States Muni Long is known to throw shade at other artists. She threw shade at the R&B singer Lyfe Jennings about his classic song, Must Be Nice sounding resentful and bitter and not appreciative back in August. That is Lyfe's most popular song that everyone still loves today. Muni Long shading him came out of nowhere. Muni Long must have been writing her song Delulu back in August. Anyway, I just wanted to give some context to as to why now Muni Long would throw shade about comments MC made during a GQ magazine. Muni Long likes throwing shade for her own benefit. She is trying to promote her song Delulu because it has yet to debut on the Mediabase Urban AC radio chart. Her instagram shade video was not warranted for an artist who has always sang praises about Muni Long since her 2018 Colored album when she was Priscilla Renea. I don't know if I am a fan of Muni Long now. (Tuesday 25 November 2025; 13:24)

Queen of Christmas (112,509) by MusicfanJ from Germany Because Christmas is religious, so no singer should trademark it for herself/himself. There's enough commerce allready for everyone. The other titles like King of Pop or Rock and Roll are only music genres. Mariah was here often called the Queen of Pop-Soul. I think that title suits her well because of her unique mix with pop, urban and soul. But I think with the Grammys, that is pure envy against Mariah. She should have won at least 18 during her career. No one could stop her in the 90ies, she was simply the best. (Tuesday 25 November 2025; 12:11) this is a reply to message 112,499

Queen of Christmas (112,499) by Dove from United States You're probably right but it would need to be trademarked for the movie I have in my head. On a side note: Why was it okay for Michael Jackson to be the King of Pop and for Elvis to be the King of Rock and Roll and Aretha to be the Queen of Soul? I feel like there's a lot of jealousy geared towards Mariah. I feel like that's part of the reason she doesn't have as many awards as she should. (Tuesday 25 November 2025; 03:23)

Vegas (112,505) by MusicfanJ from Germany I saw the movie too. I think I know what you mean. I would prefer NYC as well. Plus it's her home town. And a wonderful visit for the Christmas season. (Tuesday 25 November 2025; 11:54) this is a reply to message 112,496

Vegas (112,496) by Dove from United States I'm kind of over her being in Vegas. Can't we get a residency in New York City? After I saw the Elvis movie I'm not so into Vegas anymore. (Monday 24 November 2025; 22:52)

Bruno Mars' midas touch (112,451) by MusicfanJ from Germany I had a vision of Bruno. And it was all that you've given to me. I really want a duet with him since Bruno Mars entered the music world with his debut album. They would sound so good together. The same with John Legend, where we have at least this one live version. (Thursday 20 November 2025; 15:51) this is a reply to message 112,445

Bruno Mars' midas touch (112,445) by Dove from United States I'll hold this vision with you. The Mariah/Bruno duet will sound beautiful and magical and break all of the records and win all of the best awards. It will be everything we didn't even know we needed. (Thursday 20 November 2025; 10:43)

I won't allow it (112,441) by MusicfanJ from Germany Lol, please stop, I have to laugh so hard. It's hilarius. Real comedy. Here's another one: How do you do Beautiful Zeppelin? Are you related to the airship people? No, Nick Cannon is my dad. But I will change my name if I'm 18. Now just call me Z. (Wednesday 19 November 2025; 12:55) this is a reply to message 112,437

I won't allow it (112,437) by Dove from United States How do you do? I'm Zillion Heir. (Wednesday 19 November 2025; 01:26)

I won't allow it (112,429) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yup, those poor children. It's not hard to predict that some will have problems and issues in the future because of that mess and the "family". I had to laugh because of the names. Yes it's really like a satire. It almost sounds like names from a sect cult. In Germany most of the names would be forbidden because of later bullying and other reasons. Powerful Queen couldn't be a legal name here. Lol. It's really ridiculous, Nick Cannon is ridiculous and one of the worst things that ever happened to Mariah. I can't imagine how to celebrate holidays/Christmas with that clown. I hope Mariah stays away from him as far as possible. (Tuesday 18 November 2025; 14:45) this is a reply to message 112,426

I won't allow it (112,426) by Lambi from USA You guys, I just saw ET covering Monroe's clarification about having only one full sibling, and they listed all the other kids' names: • Golden • Powerful Queen • Rise Messiah • Onyx Ice Cole • Zion Mixolydian • Zillion Heir • Beautiful Zeppelin • Legendary Love • Zen • Halo At first I genuinely thought it was satire. LMAO. But no, those are really their names. I already felt bad for the kids, and now I feel even worse. What in the world? Mariah saying "corny like fritos" was absolutely accurate. I don't think I can dislike Nick Cannon more. My goodness, those poor children. (Tuesday 18 November 2025; 09:54)

I won't allow it (112,402) by MusicfanJ from Germany I thought it's about Nick. Someone wrote on here in the US, there's a proactive organization or something he was a member of? It's indeed a fun song, I love it too. Maybe "Confetti and Champagne" is about Bryan, who knows. (Saturday 15 November 2025; 15:39) this is a reply to message 112,395

I won't allow it (112,395) by Giovanni from USA This song is one of Mariah's best. Very good music and production. I bet Mariah had fun recording this and I'm sure Tanaka knows it's about him. Guess I was wrong about him as he had us fooled. Shame on him, he should have been more proactive. (Saturday 15 November 2025; 10:36)

Damizza won't stop vomiting untruths (112,401) by MusicfanJ from Germany Damizza seems even worse than Eminem. I also hope he will stop to sell lies. He looks like a looser. I love the pure imagination remix, but I can't stand this man with all his bad behavior. (Saturday 15 November 2025; 15:34) this is a reply to message 112,394

Damizza won't stop vomiting untruths (112,394) by Giovanni from USA I think he's talented but a liar. I don't think Mariah dated him at all. Of course I don't know this for sure but he doesn't strike me as Mariah's type. It's clear Damizza had feelings for MC or at least was attracted to her and then got in his feelings because Mariah cut ties with him. I don't like how he tries to take credit for TEOM especially with "Well belong together". That was all MC and JD. I hate it when people try to take credit for MC's work (Walter). (Saturday 15 November 2025; 10:30)

Monroe's post (112,400) by MusicfanJ from Germany Right. I wouldn't like to change with "poor" Monroe and Roc. Not for all the money, if it means to have such a father. It will only get tougher when they are grown-ups and they fully realize what he did to Mariah her mother and them by being a narcissist, bad mouth and cheater. I really hope Mariah finds one day a true caring man/soul. It's never to late. Mariah never had a father who's really there and we all can imagine how many pain and wounds it was causing for a daughter. But compared to Nick Mr. Roy Carey seems like good man at heart. I'm sure he loved Pat and Mariah deeply but the circumstances weren't on their side at that time (60ies, early 70ies). (Saturday 15 November 2025; 15:27) this is a reply to message 112,391

Monroe's post (112,391) by Bobby A from United States Monroe's Instagram post that she has only one brother tells the true story about how she feels about her father having so many other children by other women. (Saturday 15 November 2025; 00:16)

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,387) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, the good old poster days. My room was full of it. Lol. Kids today almost miss everything that was so much fun back then. I have every album (incl. best of, remix cd, greatest hits, the Rarities, anniversary edition of Music Box, Christmas editions) from Mariah on CD, every single since 98, some from "Music Box" era, the debut on vinyl and "Daydream" on cassette. Plus the released DVD's and VHS in Europe. And a lot of "rare" songs and mixes on self-burned CD's. As Bill said, digital will never beat psychical. Never.

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,386) by TJ from Norway I remember the 90s when posters was a big thing. Kids miss out on that these days. (Friday 14 November 2025; 06:26)

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,383) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes to hear her original demo is on my list too. I have a physical collection with a sound system and I love it. I'm a typical collector and 90ies kid. I also have a portable cd-player (a new one) mostly for the home. I was happy that Amazon still sells them. The mp3 player is often played for sports or the household work. Lol. (Thursday 13 November 2025; 18:42) this is a reply to message 112,381

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,381) by TJ from Norway I just wonder if she will ever release that demo? That is something I really would love to add to my collection. It's on the shelf collecting dust, but it's mine. I could never get rid of that collection, but I don't play cds that much because the cd player is not in the living room, and I really need a new sound system at home. How about you guys? Do you still have a physical collection? Maybe you never had a collection at all? (Thursday 13 November 2025; 16:06)

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,380) by MusicfanJ from Germany Absolutely. Plus her look, it's almost too much, that someone can look like Mariah and has the voice, talent and her early charisma/aura. A combination which is very rare, unique. When I saw the pic of the demo tape, I though it's like the "holy grail" of pop music. It's music history. (Thursday 13 November 2025; 15:08) this is a reply to message 112,373

Article: Mariah Carey's rare demo tape hits auction (112,373) by jaker20 from US This is a real piece of history. It really shows how Mariah's break out is like no other. He said: "She writes like Madonna and sings like Whitney, I've discovered gold" is how he described her and he was mind-blown. This is why there will never be another Mariah. There will be a lot of great voices, and lot of great lyrics, but there will never be another one who mixed the two in a way she has. I love how the comments are saying "give it back to her". (Wednesday 12 November 2025; 18:28)

HFIA review (112,344) by MusicfanJ from Germany I think NII is very radio friendly and it has the most "single potential" with Sugar Sweet. Plus NII suits perfect for this season, the end of the year, thoughtful moments. (Tuesday 11 November 2025; 13:53) this is a reply to message 112,338

HFIA review (112,338) by Lambi from USA Hate to say it but they probably are. The roll out was heavily banked on, probably the best publicity of all her albums. (Butterfly and TEOM didn't even get her a VMA.) She toured the dang world and let everyone know about it. She quite literally couldn't do anything more. But still by PTS, the hype pretty much died out. Maybe if someone picks up NII for a movie, it might have a resurgence, I doubt it though. But to completely fair, there isn't one ground breaking single. I'm still not going to count Mariah out. She shocked me with With You and A No No, I just know melodies come to her way too naturally, and it only takes one song that'll break through the cracks to bring her back on top again. (Tuesday 11 November 2025; 02:49)
