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

Re: This picture of Mariah is everything (94,530) (94,539) by MusicfanJ from Germany Look at the Instagram pic with the sunflower, it's much more beautiful. I don't think she's overweight, of course no top form but hey I gained a little weight too since the Corona crisis. Not everyone is motivated to have a training right now. And most of the people need "nerve food" at those times. I always think a little bit more looks better than too thin, but of course a sporty, healthy figure looks great too.

Re: The Meaning of Ridicule (94,529) (94,538) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm also not a fan of the third person thing. But yes Mariah seems to like it a lot. I would have prefered another title but if the book is good I can live with that. (Friday 10 July 2020; 11:45)

Re: Music fan J release date (94,513) (94,537) by MusicfanJ from Germany Thanks Gee for the info. And all the other members for letting ne know. Autumn is cool, I love to read so this will be a highlight this year for sure. (Friday 10 July 2020; 09:54)

Mariah's memoir (94,510) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow I've just checked MC's Instagram and what she's saying about her memoir makes me very excited. I can't wait to read it. Her "letter" is showing a very reflective, sensitive woman. The last sentence with the "human reslience" totally gets me right now. Does anyone know when the booklet will be released?

Re: This picture of Mariah is everything (94,505) (94,509) by MusicfanJ from Germany This pic is truly beautiful. A sunflower and a relaxed, thoughtful looking Mariah. I love it. (Wednesday 8 July 2020; 17:13)

Re: Ranking Mariah Carey albums vocally (94,485) (94,486) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love her "lower" tone too. Like you said it sounds more natural. On her first two albums her voice is so rich and magical. Pure Mariah. (Thursday 2 July 2020; 10:23)

Re: Ranking Mariah Carey albums vocally (94,482) (94,483) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yup, the debut is really great vocally. It's not so perfect like Emotions or Music Box and Daydream. But songs like "VOL", "Vanishing", "AAIL", "LTT" and "Sent from up above" are definitily music highlights. That she was so young when the album was released makes it even more stunning. And I do love the 80ies vibe of "Prisoner". See ya. (Wednesday 1 July 2020; 19:04)

Re: Ranking Mariah Carey albums vocally (94,463) (94,464) by MusicfanJ from Germany TJ that would be exatly my list. I would only switch Nr.1 Mariah Carey with Nr. 2 Music Box. (Friday 26 June 2020; 13:39)

Re: Great documentary (94,405) (94,409) by MusicfanJ from Germany I saw the documentary yesterday on Arte TV. Really a great one. The [vocal trinity] are the best for all time. I also love Maria Callas. (Saturday 20 June 2020; 13:46)

Re: Emotions LP (94,381) (94,386) by MusicfanJ from Germany That sounds wonderful Bill. The magic of vinyl is something a lot of the youngsters will never understand. Streaming wiil never be an experience. So enjoy your records. I love the debut and "Emotions" so much. Heaven for music lovers. (Monday 15 June 2020; 14:36)

Re: Must see video (94,355) (94,358) by MusicfanJ from Germany Stunning Mariah. I had never seen this before too. She so deserverd every award. Did I ever mention how I love her speaking voice? When she's a little nervous it's just cute. Thanks for sharing the video link. (Wednesday 10 June 2020; 19:13)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey shares heartbreaking song (94,331) (94,338) by MusicfanJ from Germany Today I saw a nanny with five children. Two were black, one white with blond hair and the other two white with brown/dark hair. They all had fun and were smiling. I thought what [a] nice picture. Kids don't see a "colour", they just look at if you're nice or not. Good heart or not, that's all. I will never understand how grown-ups think different so many times with prejudices.

Re: There's got to be a way live (94,260) (94,269) by MusicfanJ from Germany I prefer the 80ies and 90ies. If there was a time maschine I would definitily go back. Lol. And even late 70ies we're great too. Nowadays just makes me sad a lot. The statistics can say what they want, when I was going out in late 90ies it was much more safe and "fun", I never had to worry about things that are today "normal". Of course I'm just talking about my country and how I have experienced it. But I have a little hope that things will get better in the future. The system is down, and although there are "winners" there are too many sick people because of the system and it's pressure. (The work-life.) I know so many people with burn-out and so on, something which was not in common 20 years ago. People shouldn't be treated as "human ressource" which is cheap to be exploited. (Monday 1 June 2020; 15:53)

Re: There's got to be a way live (94,253) (94,262) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love her litttle snippet she's posted. The lyrics are today even more important than in 90. I'm so sick of superficial lyrics in general, Mariah should do another song like TGTBAW, she's so good at it. The world needs a new song with meaning and hope. (Sunday 31 May 2020; 19:34)

Re: Everything Fades Away (Remix) (94,188) (94,222) by MusicfanJ from Germany The original is one of my all time favourites and untouchable. But I really did enjoy the remix. Thanks for sharing. I was thinking of Music Box today so EFA suits perfectly. On repeat right now. (Wednesday 27 May 2020; 21:50)

Re: I Don't (94,137) (94,141) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yup, I hardly listen to the song because of the same reasons. The video is tasteless and I always have to think about "the witch" during that time. Creepy. (Tuesday 19 May 2020; 20:34)

Re: #30YearsOfLove (94,111) (94,122) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Vision of love" is the ultimate Mariah song, so it was truly the best to show the world there's a new star with a phenomenel voice. I can't believe it all started 30 years ago. I still love the debut album and the look. Yes it has some 80ies vibes, her look and the production of "Prisoner" but hey it was released in 90, so it's understandable. Here's a little story to VOL: I was 5 when it was released so definitily too young to knew what was going on. But my mum bought the album [immediately] after [hearing] VOL. She told me later when I became a fan with "Daydream". She said she heard her voice and was blown away. She went to a record store and described for what she was searching. A new young, female singer who is [already] at number one. Voila Mariah Carey, the salesman knew who the voice must be. And then with Daydream in 95 I became a fan for life. I still have the LP "Mariah Carey" from my mother. She "gave" me the good music taste. Haha. Anyway I'm so happy that thirty years ago MC started to give her music to us, she made music history from day one. And she made so many people happy since her first vision. Thank you Mariah.

Re: Did Mariah have an affair? (94,041) (94,045) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes I noticed it too. Lullaby is a personal Mariah song. That she mentions "the roof on that rainy night" and "still melt away" makes it interesting. I love "Lullaby' as a song but I also always wonder who the man is she is singing about? Derek Jeter or a boyfriend from earlier days? (Friday 8 May 2020; 20:26)

Re: Ranked album covers/photography (93,992) (93,995) by MusicfanJ from Germany Well in Germany "Without you" went to number one. "Everything fades away" is one of her best songs. I know a person who only listens to Hip Hop and even he loves "EFA". That says a lot. Music Box is a great album. Yes a bit too smaltzy for some ears but every song is perfection. "MB the song", "AYNAF", "Never forget you" and "EFA" are another level, MC at her best. And the artwork is very beautiful too. Natural beauty Mariah. (Tuesday 5 May 2020; 21:59)

Re: A vibe (93,906) (93,913) by MusicfanJ from Germany A vibe part 2 My all stay awhile Remix Secret Love The Roof Side Effects Honey Remix Long Ago I feel it Sweetheart Lullaby Hard times makes me love Mariah even more. (Friday 1 May 2020; 15:25)

Re: A vibe (93,906) (93,912) by MusicfanJ from Germany She's definitily a music genius. I have to play the playlist. Sounds really good. All the listet songs sounds fresh and makes a good vibe together. Thanks for the great list. (Friday 1 May 2020; 15:14)

Re: E=MC2 (93,878) (93,893) by MusicfanJ from Germany Should have been singles: 1. Migrate 2. Cruise Control 3. Side Effects 4. For the record (best song on the album, something new and at the same time pure Mariah) (Thursday 30 April 2020; 17:40)

Re: Quick opinion poll (93,835) (93,861) by MusicfanJ from Germany I would say "Angels Cry". (Wednesday 29 April 2020; 16:55)

Re: E=MC2 (93,804) (93,824) by MusicfanJ from Germany Congratulation MC. That album definitily deserves more recognition. Like you've said it's perfect for the spring and summer. It's indeed an album very uplifting and fun. I hope it stays a while at number one. It has a lot of songs that are very enjoyable for "non-Mariah" listeners. (Tuesday 28 April 2020; 21:35)

Re: This performance (93,785) (93,787) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love the song so much. Mariah's performance is cool and sweet at the same time. MC and the sporty outfit is simply great. And her hat is everything. Perfectly performance. Daydream Mariah was unstoppable. I wish she had done more songs like this, it suits her so well. (Sunday 26 April 2020; 14:30)
