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

Rainbow's End vocals (106,703) by MusicfanJ from Germany To me it seems brand new. What do the other lambs think? I can't get this song out of my head since yesterday. The new vocals are really good. The song is very uplifting, it feels indeed like a 70ies disco song except for the house parts by Mr. Morales. Mariah and David Morales are always a great working duo. I love all the remixes by him.

Rainbow's End vocals (106,681) by Jamie from UK She sounds so good in this, is it completely new vocals? (Friday 14 June 2024; 16:13)

Rainbow 25 (106,702) by MusicfanJ from Germany Lee, I thought the same with the demo. I like the Mariah only version, but it's funny. I've listenend to the original so many times (since it came out in 99) that I still hear Joe at the second part on the "new" Mariah only version. The human brain does funny things.

Rainbow 25 (106,700) by Lee from UK The Mariah Only TGIFY sounds to me like it was always intended to have featured artists. The new Mariah vocals sound like demo cuts of Mariah indicating what she wants the featured artist to sing. (Saturday 15 June 2024; 12:01)

Rainbow 25 CD? (106,701) by MusicfanJ from Germany I would like to know too. But as you said, I only could find the vinyl edition. I was so happy that Music Box 30 was available as a CD. (Saturday 15 June 2024; 14:19) this is a reply to message 106,694

Rainbow 25 CD? (106,694) by Taylor from USA Does anyone know if there is a Rainbow 25 CD? It seems like the only physical format is the vinyl set. (Saturday 15 June 2024; 00:53)

Top five rap verses on a MC song (106,649) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's really hard to choose. I go for the "classics". 1. The roof (Mobb Deep Version) 2. Breakdown 3. I still believe (Pure Imagination Remix) 4. My all (Stay Awhile Remix with Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz) 5. Honey (Remix with Mase) (Thursday 13 June 2024; 14:15) this is a reply to message 106,632

Top five rap verses on a MC song (106,632) by Libra Lamb from USA 1. So Lonely (Twista feat. Mariah Carey) 2. Up Out My Face (Remix feat. Nicki Minaj) Do we still know her? 3. Got A Thing 4 You (feat. Da Brat & Elephant Man) "and you can't pay pay to roll without my AK" 4. Triumphant (feat. Rick Ross & Meek Mill) or is it Meek Mill & Rick Ross (feat. Mariah Carey)? 5. The Roof (Mobb Deep Extended Version) (Tuesday 11 June 2024; 23:06)

Just some Dolly Parton facts (106,610) by MusicfanJ from Germany Dolly is wonderful. Her song "9-5" is my office song lol. I love the lyrics of it. That she is spending a lot for social projects is something I like too. Plus her humour. A real legend, this lady. (Friday 7 June 2024; 14:47) this is a reply to message 106,607

Just some Dolly Parton facts (106,607) by Robert-Anthony from United States Dolly will release album #50 on November 15th. Her last album was released on November 17, 2023. She began her career in 1955. This lady looks like she is 50 years old right now. Dolly does not slow down. Everyone loves Dolly Parton. This last fact really made me laugh. Her own label is called Butterfly Records. How funny is that? (Friday 7 June 2024; 02:03)

The-Dream (106,603) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's really disgusting. But I don't think it's just because of the money and fame. A bad character stays a bad character, the same with a good one, with or without money. But if a bad person gets fame it's easier to treat other people wrong for sure. I won't listen to the songs like before. It spoils my joy while listening. I hope MC won't work again with him, there are better producers out there anyway. (Thursday 6 June 2024; 14:11) this is a reply to message 106,601

The-Dream (106,601) by Robert-Anthony from United States I guess MC won't be working with The-Dream anymore after these allegations. I don't understand why music producers like R.Kelly, Sean "Diddy" Combs", and The-Dream allow fame and money to overtake their moral judgement to use and mistreat women in such horrific ways. No heart emoji today. (Thursday 6 June 2024; 02:35)

Portrait late at night (106,561) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's true. (Wednesday 29 May 2024; 15:16) this is a reply to message 106,557

Portrait late at night (106,557) by Stacey from USA Great minds think alike. Those are my favs off Caution too. (Monday 27 May 2024; 19:36)

Portrait late at night (106,543) by MusicfanJ from Germany Portrait and "Giving me life" are my favourites from "Caution". So I was super excited of the new remix. And wow, it is indeed genius. I love everything about it. That's the Mariah I was missing. It has the Butterfly remix vibe and something new. Mariah sounds carefree and is showing that she has still the "fire". The background chorus is wonderful too. It sounds like the good old days but also new and fresh. I just love it. (Sunday 26 May 2024; 17:48) this is a reply to message 106,539

Portrait late at night (106,539) by Libra Lamb from USA This song checks all the boxes for me. I absolutely love it, I have been playing these remixes non stop since the release. This is the kind of music that we need right now, reminiscent of her body of work. Pure genius. Also, I love Mariah’s speaking voice and so glad they sometimes use it in her songs. Everyone should be in ecstasy with these Hopeful Child remixes. My only complaint is that the Hopeful Child remix, 16 min 20 sec, is not long enough. (Sunday 26 May 2024; 08:36)

Muni and Mariah remix (106,480) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I like it too. Plus I'm happy that this time the lyrics are clean. Lol. For me it sounds like a song that could be on the MOAIA album. So now I'm ready for a real surprise for the next song. Jazz, pop or a song from the Ugly Daughter sessions? However please Mariah only next time. (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 17:57) this is a reply to message 106,470

Muni and Mariah remix (106,470) by Shezz from Pk I like it. I don't love it (yet). It could have been on any Mariah album, very reminiscent of other JD and BMC Mariah songs like [We belong together] and [Don't forget about us]. I will definitely be hearing this over the original (same like I do with Yes, And and Big Energy). Mariah sounds good, I wish it were a little longer. I mean we all knew exactly what the song sounds like anyway and with the [Billboard] remix rule, we weren't up for any surprises. I'd have liked to hear a Mariah only chorus like we heard in the clips. Robert Anthony, history shall have to wait. They do sound good together though. (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 11:43)

Article: Mariah spent Mother's Day weekend in Westchester (106,434) by MusicfanJ from Germany I see it the same way. Why doing a duet for Christmas even on the album with her mum, if she's so bad? It makes no sense at all. Personally I wish they are fine or at least okay. (Saturday 18 May 2024; 11:09) this is a reply to message 106,426

Article: Mariah spent Mother's Day weekend in Westchester (106,426) by Edward from USA I'm not buying any of it. You don't record a duet with someone you portray as a bad parent in an interview. When Mariah started her Christmas shows at Beacon Theater, I personally witnessed the strong relationship they had. It wasn't just for show, Tommy wasn't involved, and her mother wasn't even on stage. She was simply there to support Mariah. After the show ended, I saw them hugging and being very affectionate. Mariah's mother was never depicted as exploiting Mariah for money, yet there's ample evidence of Mariah experiencing severe mental strain, culminating in a nervous breakdown during the "Glitter" era. According to Mariah, she just needed rest - indeed, she needed some 911 rest alright. (Friday 17 May 2024; 18:05)

Influence - Dem Teens (106,365) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Monroe, North and Blu Ivy will rule the world one day." I don't think so. But they are lucky, they will never need to do a normal 9-5 job. They can be creative even if there will be no or less success. Maybe one day we will get a duet with Monroe and Mariah. That would be sweet. (Tuesday 7 May 2024; 19:29) this is a reply to message 106,362

Influence - Dem Teens (106,362) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Now that Dem Babies are officially Dem Teens (which blows my mind), I wonder if they'll have an influence on Mariah evolving her sound to a new youthful sound and experimental direction? Especially now that Monroe is showing an interest in [music] and hangs out with North West. Monroe, North and Blu Ivy will rule the world one day. (Tuesday 7 May 2024; 15:34)

Article: Daniel Bedingfield will release lost Mariah Carey duet (106,334) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm sure it sounds good, because that was a time were pop music still had melodies while sounding fresh and were radio friendly. I even remember his sister, she had a few hits too. I'm a big soul and jazz fan, but a good pop song is always a win. I can't wait to hear it. (Thursday 2 May 2024; 17:27) this is a reply to message 106,328

Article: Daniel Bedingfield will release lost Mariah Carey duet (106,328) by Zachariah from Croatia When I have to google who Daniel Bedingfield is, I am sure that song sounds like crap. (Thursday 2 May 2024; 08:40)

Article: Daniel Bedingfield will release lost Mariah Carey duet (106,332) by MusicfanJ from Germany I really liked this song back then. I'm excited for the duet. (Thursday 2 May 2024; 17:21) this is a reply to message 106,325

Article: Daniel Bedingfield will release lost Mariah Carey duet (106,325) by Edward from USA We Gotta Get Thru This. (Thursday 2 May 2024; 02:27)

Why is there no JD on Butterfly? (106,307) by MusicfanJ from Germany Good question Robert-Anthony. But Bone-Thugs were West-Coast? I can't remember. Lol. I love your idea with the New York sound. MC and NYC best duo. (Saturday 27 April 2024; 14:25) this is a reply to message 106,305

Why is there no JD on Butterfly? (106,305) by Robert-Anthony from United States We know why there is no JD on Glitter and Memoirs. But why didn't MC record any tracks with JD for Butterfly. Was she exclusively seeking a New York hip hop and rap sound that only New York and East coast producers could only have given her? Was she paying homage to her home city with the Butterfly album? Maybe that is what she needs to do for MC16 is to focus on a New York sound with a live band. Go back Proctor's Theater and SNL to promote the album. (Saturday 27 April 2024; 02:28)

Will the Mariah Carey story ever be told? (106,306) by MusicfanJ from Germany I really wish there would be a part two in the future. Mariah is still such a mystery. In the 90ies even more, but yes "Looking in" really comes to my mind everytime I think of the one and only Mariah. I guess her book didn't tell a lot of new things for fans. I really would like to know more things. Topics could be about New York, the music biz, how it's like to be a global legend, maybe tell a hidden hobby. Is there a favourite project that hasn't been completed right now? Things of that nature. (Saturday 27 April 2024; 12:35) this is a reply to message 106,304

Will the Mariah Carey story ever be told? (106,304) by jaker20 from US I've kind of been wondering about this. I really think her bio is the most open she's ever been. But we know that's not complete. I feel like there's a part 2 to it. But then she also said that "You'll never know the real me." (Saturday 27 April 2024; 00:53)

A Daydream release in 2024 (106,263) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yey, I don't get the hype too. Perhaps it's because there is almost no competition. Rihanna and Beyoncé are more entertainers too than singers with a wow effect. When I think of the 90ies, Whitney, Mariah, Céline. They were really the vocal trinity. I'm so thankful that I witnessed the golden years. The same with the male singers. Can you imagine an earth song today like Michael did back then in 95 or 96? The popular music scene has become so boring except some rare newcomers. (Tuesday 23 April 2024; 14:24) this is a reply to message 106,260

A Daydream release in 2024 (106,260) by Jamie from UK Really don't get the whole Taylor Swift thing. She's good but she's not that good. I just do understand why there is so much hype about her. (Tuesday 23 April 2024; 13:47)

Not surprised (106,261) by MusicfanJ from Germany People remember Mariah songs too. Maybe not Heartbreaker, but Vision of Love, Emotions, Dreamlover, Hero, Without You, Fantasy and Always be my Baby are deep on the minds of almost everyone if they think of Mariah. I mean the grown-ups not the kids or teens. Nothing against Mary J. Blidge [sic], but that she will be on that Hall and Mariah not is a joke. A bad one. I don't get it. It's cool that you're back. (Tuesday 23 April 2024; 14:08) this is a reply to message 106,258

Not surprised (106,258) by Randy from USA I just think Mary is more respected in the industry and that culturally Mary represents something for soul music. People take her seriously. Mariah is great for a throwback, a whistler, a relic to be thawed out each November. I think these perceptions is where Mariah's image hurts her. I remember one of my Whitney fans responses to my dig that Mariah had more number ones. He said "People remember Whitney songs." I wonder how many non-fans know the difference between Fantasy, Heartbreaker and Honey. Anyway, I'm back. Did ya'll miss me? P.S. I was more shocked that Sinead, Sade didn't get in. P.P.S. How messy would it be if Madonna inducted Cher lol. (Tuesday 23 April 2024; 01:30)

Lenny Kravitz Human (106,243) by MusicfanJ from Germany I just heard his new song on the radio. What a cool song with a good and positive vibe with lyrics which are clean and not vulgar. Plus a real melody. Thanks to Mr. Kravitz that he brings back music that is music and not just "modern noise". I don't know if he and Mariah are really dating, but I would love a true duet from them both. Forget Bruno Mars and Co. Mariah and Lenny would rock and roll. And we could get a duets album. (Sunday 21 April 2024; 17:10)

Anytime you need a friend (106,241) by MusicfanJ from Germany Since I'm celebrating MB30 endlessly , I'm still amazed and always will about AYNAF. One of her best songs for sure. Mariah at her best, the melody, the lyrics and the outstanding voice that touches my heart until today. The Price sisters were wonderful too. On a side note: I love Mariah's stage presence. I've seen her four times and everyone was enchanted. She's not an entertainer but her aura is magical. She was rocking the Charmbracelet tour and the Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour. Of course many others too, I just mentioned the ones I visited. With the Vegas concerts, I also think it's not really Mariah's thing. She needs to be creative again (in the future) as someone allready said. Mariah will surprise us, I'm sure. (Sunday 21 April 2024; 10:17)

Someday (106,235) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I was surprised too. I think it wasn't a single. Maybe the store manager was a fan. I also often [hear] Emotions, must be a favorite for shopping playlists. (Saturday 20 April 2024; 12:28) this is a reply to message 106,228

Someday (106,228) by Tevin from USA Wow, they played Thanks for Nothing. Was that even a single? (Friday 19 April 2024; 19:52)

Someday (106,220) by MusicfanJ from Germany The same here. I often hear Mariah while shopping. It's always such a nice, good feeling. Songs which were played in stores: Hero, Fantasy, Make it happen, ABMB, It's like that, We belong together, Thanx for nothin', Endless love. And we all know what happens during December. (Friday 19 April 2024; 12:27) this is a reply to message 106,216

Someday (106,216) by Tevin from USA I was shopping at my local supermarket (Meijer), and they played Someday while I was shopping. It was awesome hearing it. I don't know who runs the Meijer chain of stores, but I swear I always hear Mariah's music and less popular #1 singles played while I'm shopping. (Friday 19 April 2024; 01:24)

MB 30 (106,191) by MusicfanJ from Germany I still enjoy and love the three CD edition so much. The Amazon reviews are also all positive and mostly five stars. It's such a big treasure. Now I just need the Rarities part two and maybe I can wait a little more for new music. Have a nice day/evening lambs. (Tuesday 16 April 2024; 18:18)

Musicals (106,104) by MusicfanJ from Germany I agree with you. Glitter is not a musical at all. Just a music movie with drama and autobiographical elements. Hmm the worst, it's really not that bad. I still have it on DVD. It was my first DVD together with "A river runs through it" back then in 2001. Memories. (Thursday 4 April 2024; 20:24) this is a reply to message 106,101

Musicals (106,101) by Victoria from USA So collider.com named Glitter the worst musical ever. Cats was number 2. Does anyone consider Glitter a musical? I'm not saying it's amazing, but it's not a "musical". (Thursday 4 April 2024; 16:47)

New single (106,094) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow that sounds interesting and promising. I'm very excited for it. I have a feeling Mariah will surprise us again this time. By the way, she really looks fantastic in the new pics. (Tuesday 2 April 2024; 19:33) this is a reply to message 106,092

New single (106,092) by Shezz from Pk The fan account did say the next day it was an April Fools thing. The insider account says she is set to make her long awaited come back this month. I hope that means a single, not her Vegas residency because she has been performing. Also, the insider says MC16 is a return to pop for MC with a lot of uptempo, disco and euro dance numbers. I hope that's true. She's not gotten anywhere with her midtempo RnB for a while now. Butterfly Lounge on the other hand is a total jazz project. How exciting is that? I have a feeling she will drop something soon either right before or right after Vegas. (Tuesday 2 April 2024; 17:01)

New photos (106,058) by MusicfanJ from Germany The sparkling dress just wow. It reminded me of 99 too. I want that time maschine. Lol. On the blue ones she really looks like a mermaid. I love her smile. (Thursday 28 March 2024; 20:29) this is a reply to message 106,053

New photos (106,053) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The new photo and video she dropped wearing the sparkly dress. Wow just stunning. She looks incredible. She looks so young and fresh like a cross between Rainbow and Einstein Mariah. (Thursday 28 March 2024; 03:14)
