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

Re: Setlist (88,210) (88,214) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow what a great set list. Everything one could hope for. That she did "Anytime you need a friend" in concert was something I was wishing for since forever. And what a surprise with the Glitter medley. Mariah made everyone happy with this set list.

Re: Article: 15 Moments from Caution tour that I need more than air (88,196) (88,198) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm excited for the setlist and I also wonder if there are some surprises. I always love the openers of her concerts. Just one day left and we will know more. I wish all the US fans who are going to one of her concerts a great time. (Wednesday 27 February 2019; 16:25)

Re: Gospel album (88,187) (88,189) by MusicfanJ from Germany A jazz album would be a dream. With musicians who are playing real instruments. I think of it since she did the jazzy intro of her band during the "Charmbracelet tour". (And I love "The wind".) The short version of "Don't explain" shows she's at least a little open for jazz. So a jazz-influenced album would be really something special. (Monday 25 February 2019; 22:59)

Re: Mr. Smollett (88,148) (88,149) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's unbelievable. I also liked "Empire" and when I read about the "attack" I was really shocked. Who would think that it was all fake and his own idea to get more money or fame with the press? Well never trust an actor. Honestly it's like a bad movie. What a fake and ill person Mr. Smollett seems to be. I'm sure he has got enough money, I hope he loose all his supporters and tv-appearances. He should spend the money for true victims.

Re: When V threw a party for Karl Largerfeld (88,139) (88,142) by MusicfanJ from Germany Karl was a fashion genius. I'm not into fashion at all haha, but Karl was really great. I love his famous quotes like "we don't know Heidi Klum, she was never in Paris" lol and so on. The pic on instagram where he kissed Mariah's hand is fantastic. I find it always cool that MC knows/knew everybody who is a real legend too. (Thursday 21 February 2019; 15:22)

Re: My absolute favorite Mariah song (88,108) (88,128) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Make it happen" is more than just a song, it's somehow Mariah's anthem. And I also get hope and positive energy everytime I listen to it. Her Madison Square Garden concert is hypnotic and for me one of the best. I don't care if it's dubbed, it's wonderful. I have it on a VHS cassette, and it never gets boring to watch it. Classic Mariah at her best. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 19:21)

Re: JLo (88,019) (88,026) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, when I watched Glitter in 2001 that was my first thought. Sylk in the movie is J.Lo, there are no doubts. Haha. The actress who played Sylk really looks like J.Lo and the stealing of the song was also in the scene. I'm pretty sure that was Mariah's idea. (Wednesday 13 February 2019; 11:22)

Re: Caution the title track (87,990) (87,997) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love "Caution" and I also think it has more "hit potential" than "A no no". (Monday 11 February 2019; 16:05)

Re: The real Mariah (87,972) (87,975) by MusicfanJ from Germany Agree. Nobody can force such great melodies. It was her just like the other genre as well. I think Mariah has her unique mark on every song, no matter if it's pure RNB, Soul, Gospel or Pop. That's one thing (among many others) I love about her. (Saturday 9 February 2019; 10:44)

Re: One Child live 2018 (87,967) (87,969) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's true. "Mariah could sing the phone book", yup I would buy that phone book. Haha. I also loved her ringtones. (Friday 8 February 2019; 17:34)

Re: Butterfly (87,940) (87,952) by MusicfanJ from Germany Chris1992, your post is really interesting and I agree with a lot of your thoughts. "One of the things I love about early Mariah is how unaffected she was, as a person and as an artist. She was raw and there was beauty in that." I love the Butterfly album and the videos too. They were "Hollywood" but still classy. But I'll always prefer the Long Island girl when it comes to Mariah as a person and an artist. For me that was real. A little shy, her beauty was out if this world and the voice of an angel plus her pure genius talent. The diva playing can be fun too (sometimes), but I don't need it. Mariah as a person and singer is interesting enough. (Thursday 7 February 2019; 17:32)

Re: Gladys Knight (87,886) (87,896) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh yes, such a great woman. One of the best. Still so beautiful, classy and what a voice. I've been listening a lot to Gladys and the Pips lately. What a joy to discover all the songs. I've always loved her "Bond song", now I listen to "I feel a song in my heart" every day. So it's nice to hear Gladys also "rocked" the anthem. (Tuesday 5 February 2019; 12:14)

Re: Critical artice in the biggest newspaper in Norway (87,850) (87,858) by MusicfanJ from Germany I just read the comments on her instagram. Most of the people are disappointed. And I still think it was wrong to go there and be paid for it. I was wondering why there are no pics of it on her insta or something else? Maybe her team realized it's not a good look for a global superstar. (Friday 1 February 2019; 21:06)

Re: CNN on Mariah's concert in Saudi Arabia (87,821) (87,828) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's on the news here too. She's the looser of the day. (Not my words, it's the headline of it.) (Thursday 31 January 2019; 19:37)

Re: The Roof (87,814) (87,820) by MusicfanJ from Germany The Roof is indeed hypnotic. I love the song so much since the first listening. The description of it by Gee is perfect. I also love the video (her look is just stunning, that retro vibe is everything), and the remix. Pure art. The lyrics are so poetic and the rap part is great too. It suits so well. I also noticed that a lot of non-Mariah fans enjoy the song and are surprised that this is Mariah Carey. So enough praising. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 11:32)

Re: Proceed with caution: Saudi threats (87,807) (87,818) by MusicfanJ from Germany I really hope Mariah and her team will cancel this gig. Yes, her safety is another reason not to perform there. Please Mariah don't go. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 11:19)

Re: Okay hooold up now (87,788) (87,796) by MusicfanJ from Germany But it's a difference if a country has no human rights at all and is living like we still have the middle age. I wouldn't go to a place like that, not even for money. To compare Saudi Arabia with Spain and Australia is ridiculous. Every country has it's own problems for sure, especially with politics. But again, to have no human rights at all is another thing. (Wednesday 30 January 2019; 11:52)

Re: Saudi Arabia (87,703) (87,712) by MusicfanJ from Germany Why just why? Aren't there other countries/companies who are willing to book her for an event. The Caribbean makes sense after Christmas (who wouldn't love to be there) but Saudi-Arabia? If she would perform in Dubai fine, but Saudi-Arabia? Just a no no. (Saturday 26 January 2019; 12:59)

Re: With You (87,689) (87,691) by MusicfanJ from Germany Lol Edward, your post is hilarious. (Thursday 24 January 2019; 12:41)

Re: New found appreciation for IDWC (87,672) (87,673) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's such a great song. And so underrated. I miss those vocals and lyrics too. Sometimes you really need a certain mood to rediscover a song. Since I'm bored of the worldwide charts I rediscover a lot of older records. Brings back good memories and new appreciation too. So keep enjoying "IDWC". (Tuesday 22 January 2019; 17:37)

Re: If it was me (87,647) (87,649) by MusicfanJ from Germany "I think about people who are icons like Elvis, The Beatles, Marilyn Monroe." Paloma but that was a time where the internet and the smartphones didn't exist. That today a grownup global superstar like Mariah is so naive, I can't understand as much as I try to. I mean to hang out with trash people (her old team) and thinking it's ok, nothing will happen, I don't get it. The Instagram videos at that time were embarrassing enough. What was MC thinking? I mean we are talking about Mariah Carey not about a reality TV star. For me it's unbelievable, that she trusted Crustella and her clan. With Amy Winehouse, it was the worst. Because of the clips everybody could see the creeping decay of her as a person and artist. It was heartbreaking. Some videos should have never get public. (Sunday 20 January 2019; 12:16)

Re: Mariah sues personal assistant (87,620) (87,624) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Not used to working with people who are so unprofessional and sees them more like friends than employees." But this is one thing I can't understand, how can you see a friend in Stella and co. Even if I were drunk, I would stay away from those people. The empower/sister thing was just terrible too. Mariah was not recognizable at that time. I can only imagine that they were good at manipulating. But again you must be very blind or maybe eternally 12 if you can't look behind the fake facade of Crustella and her "team". (Friday 18 January 2019; 18:46)

Re: Mariah sues personal assistant (87,591) (87,606) by MusicfanJ from Germany I hope that the nightmare ends now. I saw the story on the celebrity news and it was embarrassing to see the old pics with Crustella on Mariah's side. Some things should be private, more than ever. There are enough cheap "stars" outside who are willingly to talk about everything and show everything. And nobody is interested in. Look at Heidi Klum, just disgusting. What bothers me the most is that Mariah's image is still in repair and now the scum is coming back with the dumb story. (Thursday 17 January 2019; 18:36)

Re: Mariah sues personal assistant (87,582) (87,588) by MusicfanJ from Germany Biggest mistake ever to let those snakes be part of her professional and private life. I understand that she was going through a very tough time again, but she was also blind or not willing to see what kind of people she had surrounded herself. I hope that chapter is closed forever after the new "scandal". (Thursday 17 January 2019; 11:47)

Re: The debut (87,579) (87,587) by MusicfanJ from Germany I became a fan with "Daydream" but the debut is so special. I love every song too. I can't believe what a 20 year-young Mariah was able to record. A true legendary album. After listening the first few seconds of "Vision of love" you knew a new star was born. The voice, the power, the softness, it's a real pleasure to listen to the album. And yes, even "You need me" rocks. The rap from "Prisoner" is so cool and sweet at the same time. I miss those days. At that time the radio where playing good stuff in general. (Thursday 17 January 2019; 11:41)
