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

Re: "Alone In Love" (89,052) (89,059) by MusicfanJ from Germany Totally agree. I love the song so much. I also think that's the ultimate Mariah sound. The real "trademark". Dreamy, powerful and softly all in one song. It has something that can't be created by other artists. Pure Mariah. (Monday 8 April 2019; 12:04)

Re: A No No (89,000) (89,011) by MusicfanJ from Germany There used to be a time where I knew the guest rappers on the remix too. I didn't knew Steflon and I have no clue who Shawni is. But it's good to know that at this time I'm not the only one. (Friday 5 April 2019; 10:23)

Re: Patti in Philly (88,999) (89,010) by MusicfanJ from Germany "It seems, bigger, thicker and blonder than ever before, therefore less realistic." I thought the same. Looks too much like a Barbie doll. Her natural look is beautiful, I hope the wig will be gone soon. (Friday 5 April 2019; 10:16)

A star is born (the movie) (88,998) by MusicfanJ from Germany I know it's off-topic. But finally I watched the movie and I'm really impressed by the fantastic Lady Gaga (and Bradley Cooper). Since some said Mariah should do a duet with Celine Dion how about Lady Gaga? I think they could connect better musically. (Thursday 4 April 2019; 22:47)

Re: Latest lawsuit (88,979) (88,981) by MusicfanJ from Germany Thanks RibbonB for the link of the article. It was interesting to read. That Mr. Burrell knew that there were snakes, well he has it in common with the lambs. That touring shall be her private life is somehow a bit sad. I hope after the Caution tour she'll have some private life and free time to enjoy. (Wednesday 3 April 2019; 21:46)

Re: Outside (88,968) (88,969) by MusicfanJ from Germany Perfect description of this beautiful song. When Mariah sings softly at the end "You'll always be somewhere on the outside" it gets me everytime. So emotional and true. That song has always a special place in my heart too. (Wednesday 3 April 2019; 10:37)

Re: Mariah performs for 1 hour in DC (88,940) (88,944) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh, I would be a bit disappointed too. The tickets were so expensive? Front row? One hour is really short. (Monday 1 April 2019; 15:51)

Re: The Daydream era (88,939) (88,943) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Lulls her listeners into her dream world." That's true, if I listen to Mariah she takes me away in a dreamland. And I love it. Her background vocals are always perfection. She's a genius with all the background vocals that fit so well on every song. (Monday 1 April 2019; 15:49)

Re: The last karaoke (88,911) (88,936) by MusicfanJ from Germany Whenever You Call is brilliant and more important truly emotional. It has the softly side at the beginning and the powerful end. Classic MC. Yup, that's what I call "real music". It was indeed the last Mariah ballad. I miss those kind of songs with lyrics. (Sunday 31 March 2019; 18:18)

Re: MOAIA (88,897) (88,899) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love "Obsessed", "Hate U", "Candy bling", "Out of my face" and of course "Standing O" and "Languishing". The lyrics are clever and fun. Some say it's boring, I don't think so. The mood and sound is just completely different to E=MC2. More dreamy and relaxed. A perfect album for autumn or late summer. (Friday 29 March 2019; 18:20)

Re: MIAMTEC and Caution (88,836) (88,860) by MusicfanJ from Germany I forgot the info for Randy. I'm 34. (Thursday 28 March 2019; 14:09)

Re: MIAMTEC and Caution (88,827) (88,831) by MusicfanJ from Germany It really changes from time to time and the personal mood. At the moment I prefer Caution over MIAMTiC. 1. Butterfly 2. Daydream 3. Emotions 4. Music Box 5. Merry Christmas 6. Mariah Carey 7. Glitter 8. TEOM 9. E=MC2 10. Charmbracelet 11. Caution 12. MOAIA 13. Rainbow 14. MIAMTEC (Wednesday 27 March 2019; 18:13)

Re: Happy Birthday (88,822) (88,824) by MusicfanJ from Germany Happy Birthday to the one and only Miss Mariah Carey. We love you. Have a festive day. Sending you love and butterflies. (Wednesday 27 March 2019; 13:46)

Article: Mariah Carey confirms autobiography (88,809) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love books and autobiographies. I have an old book about Mariah which is called "The sensitive star". Can't wait to read her autobiography. (Tuesday 26 March 2019; 21:56)

Re: Patricia Carey at NYC concert (88,804) (88,808) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's cool. I guess it's really a long time ago since her mum was seen in public. I always like to read your posts, you have such a positive energy. That's rare today. I'm sure you'll enjoy Mariah in concert next Friday. Please share your concert experience on the board. So have a good time. (Tuesday 26 March 2019; 20:31)

Re: For The Record appreciation (88,800) (88,807) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mine too. That song has something special, only Mariah can create this mood on a song. I also heard it first at her perfume commercial and when it was on the album I was so happy. I wish they would have released "For the record" instead of "Bye Bye". It sounds modern but still classy Mariah with that dreamy tune. it. (Tuesday 26 March 2019; 20:21)

Re: Okay, please nobody get mad (88,741) (88,743) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm not mad, but I can't stop laughing because of this "Mariah played (a hot) Ursala". It's too much for me. Lol. I love Disney too especially the old classics but I can't imagine Mariah doing a Disney song again. I count "Almost home" because it was for "Oz" made by Disney. Just for laughs: MC is the ultimate Arielle, didn't she mention she loves the Arielle theme? (Friday 22 March 2019; 11:16)

Re: Does anyone here even stream music? Part 2 (88,699) (88,716) by MusicfanJ from Germany "$10 a month you get millions of songs." Yes, but I don't want and need millions of songs. Just because something is trending like streaming, that doesn't mean it's better. I don't like to listen to music via computer. I have an excellent stereo system at home where I can really enjoy the music offline not just "consume" on the internet besides. On the way I have my mp3-player. I also like YouTube. What I mean is I prefer quality music over quantity. I did buy Mariah's album on the first day of the release, so to say the "retro lambs" are the reason Mariah isn't selling enough is not fair. (Wednesday 20 March 2019; 18:05)

Re: Does anyone here even stream music? (88,685) (88,688) by MusicfanJ from Germany I do it like Dove, I have all the albums from my favorite artists on cd. And I still love to buy cd's and to collect them. I have digital downloads, but don't stream with iTunes or Tindal or whatever. I do enjoy and appreciate music more if I have it on a physical copy. Anyway I also think the group who are streaming the most are teens and young twens, it's not Mariah's fan base like Ribbon already mentioned. We may have less time than the teens, but we have money to buy good music. (Tuesday 19 March 2019; 11:20)

Re: Vegas final show this leg 2/21/19 M&G (long) (88,575) (88,576) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mara, I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry. I was reading your post and was happy to read your descriptions of the concert and the Mariah Meet and Great. I would have felt the same way if I had the chance of meeting her. To go on with the post and read what happend to your mom. I have no words. Life's so unfair. Please don't feel guilty that you went to Vegas to meet your "sister". I know exactly what you mean with "all the stuff don't mean anything". I wish you a lot of strength during this sad time. Sending a hug. (Thursday 14 March 2019; 12:17)

Re: Everything Fades Away (88,556) (88,569) by MusicfanJ from Germany I think it's Will Downing. (Wednesday 13 March 2019; 22:55)

Re: Original Music Box track listing (88,535) (88,568) by MusicfanJ from Germany There couldn't be a better song for the ending of Music Box than "EFA". From "Dreamlover" to "Without You" to "Everything fades away". It suits very well. It's one of her best songs from her entire catalogue. From the first second to the excellent choir/male voice and the haunting end. I can listen to the last 30 seconds endlessly. Never heard something like this. It's so dreamy and I also used to listen to it before bedtime. (Wednesday 13 March 2019; 22:53)

Re: Eternally optimistic (88,418) (88,431) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes most of her videos are about being pretty or partying. Except the live concert videos. But some have more to tell visually like "Butterfly" or the "The roof". I love the partying in "Fantasy" and "Agent M" in "Honey" by the way. (Saturday 9 March 2019; 14:15)

Re: No No video (88,416) (88,429) by MusicfanJ from Germany I thought immediately of you Special K. when Bryan was doing some dancing in the video. I'm reading all of the thoughts of the video here on this board. Very interesting. I think it's an ok video. I like the colours. I'm missing a little story too. But compared to the GTFO video, it's not so bad. It looks modern with all the dancers on the train. Her kids are sweet on the few seconds. (Saturday 9 March 2019; 14:02)

Re: A No No feat. Stefflon Don (88,358) (88,366) by MusicfanJ from Germany I never heard of Stefflon Don. Google says she's a British female rapper. I'm not disappointed that it's not Cardi B. I never understood why this woman is popular/in? For me it's average, nothing special about her. Anyway I remember that MC wanted to work with Justin Timberlake for the remix back then. Maybe his management was against it, I found it dumb from Mr. Timberlake. Maybe Stefflon Don will surprise us and suits well to the No No remix. (Thursday 7 March 2019; 17:33)
