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

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.

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)

Re: Right knee (93,777) (93,779) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes. I saw the scar during the Charmbracelet concert too. Her legs were so beautiful by the way. (Saturday 25 April 2020; 17:12)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey shares kitchen selfie holding two kettles (93,755) (93,759) by MusicfanJ from Germany Of course. Here's one. (Friday 24 April 2020; 11:58)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey shares kitchen selfie holding two kettles (93,751) (93,754) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yup she did that pose since day one in front of the public eye. You don't have to like it, for me it's not a big deal. I'm just happy if there are real clothes. Lol. Because I'm so tired of too much skin. MC with casual clothes is something I like. And a pic with tea can't be wrong. (Thursday 23 April 2020; 22:22)

Re: Listening to Glitter (93,735) (93,737) by MusicfanJ from Germany What a great post Nick. I completely agree with everything you wrote. "I hope she stays classy as her younger self, with the confidence of her older self. Those two Mariahs combined can make her still the best until the end of time." So true. (Wednesday 22 April 2020; 17:30)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey shares kitchen selfie holding two kettles (93,734) (93,736) by MusicfanJ from Germany I thought the same. Beautiful and very youthful. Music Box vibes, I love it. (Wednesday 22 April 2020; 17:26)

Re: Emotions album (93,724) (93,726) by MusicfanJ from Germany I also love "the Wind" and recommend it. Please try it again Licia. When I listened to Emotions for the first time I didn't like it too. For me it just didn't sound like a "Mariah song". But since quite a long time I started to love the song. I love her jazz voice, the lyrics and the whole instrumental. But it's true it's not easy to listen to for every day. A little depressing because of the "theme", but "The Wind" is really such a great and emotional song. That Mariah was able to sing it like she did at such a young age makes it even more precious. (Tuesday 21 April 2020; 20:27)

Re: New album title (93,651) (93,653) by MusicfanJ from Germany Ah okay, I did not know it. "Sweet Soul Odessey" sounds cool. It would fit perfectly. (Thursday 16 April 2020; 17:40)

Re: New album title (93,649) (93,650) by MusicfanJ from Germany Just for laughs, "Tiger Queen". I would like a short title like "Caution". How about "Soul Sessions"? (Thursday 16 April 2020; 14:46)

Re: Insta FLAB (93,592) (93,614) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's really a hard and strange time. I'm at home since three weeks, we are allowed to go outside to walk alone or with one other person. Music really helps to have some other thoughts at home. I wish you a Happy Easter too and all the other lambs even it's not a normal one. Please stay healthy everyone. (Monday 13 April 2020; 13:33)

Re: RIP Bill Withers (93,495) (93,500) by MusicfanJ from Germany How I love Bill Withers. Last year I bought three Cd's because I always loved "Just the two of us" and the phenomenel "Ain't no sunshine". "Lovley day" is so wonderful too. Makes you feel good. I also love "Grandma's hands", Blackstreet did a very good sample with "No diggity", but the original song is pure genius. "Use me", "Who is he", "Harlem", "Hello like before" and "I want to spend the night" are my other favourites. RIP Bill Withers, thank you for real music with heart and soul. Your music will stay forever. (Saturday 4 April 2020; 18:01)

Re: Article: Mariah warns her staff against April Fool's Day pranks (93,492) (93,494) by MusicfanJ from Germany Perfectly written. Every single word. "As this example shows, mega mega rich people telling the very not wealthy to donate money when they alone could sort out a huge chunk of the problem is the contradiction. And actually quite an obscene one." That ist so true. I do believe when this pandemic will end, the world won't be the same. And the people who are normal will think twice for what they spend their money. (Exlude expensive concert tickets and so on.) The new 20ies are definitily not golden at all. But people will realize that this superficial, highspeed life is the wrong way and not healthy. (Friday 3 April 2020; 11:41)
