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

Re: The Daily Shame (89,964) (89,985) by MusicfanJ from Germany All I can say is just no. I feared that something like that would happen because of her once beloved "empower clan". It's very embarrassing for her and it's a shame that it happens now while her image is still in repair. With all the praise the last months, the press will destroy it a lot with the pics. It's really sad for Mariah and it's indeed embarrassing for her fans too. (Friday 14 June 2019; 14:21)

Re: Favourite whistle (89,925) (89,963) by MusicfanJ from Germany How could I forget the whistle in "Lead the way". It's truly angelic. I also love the end of "Giving me life". (Thursday 13 June 2019; 17:43)

Re: Lead the Way (89,949) (89,962) by MusicfanJ from Germany I did go to the Charmbracelet tour too and it was overwhelming. Her voice was just stunning. It was my first concert and I had some doubts that the voice wouldn't be that brilliant live. But it was even better than on cd at that time. When she sang "Bringin on the heartbreak" the audience were freaking out. Mariah Carey at her best. The other songs from Charmbracelet were also even better live. And the band intro was so cool and classy diva. Best concert experience in my life. And one of the best nights until now. (Thursday 13 June 2019; 16:58)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey confirms new music is in the works (89,920) (89,923) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love the idea. Mariah and Trey are perfect for duets. (Wednesday 12 June 2019; 10:13)

Re: Favourite whistle (89,892) (89,905) by MusicfanJ from Germany My favorites are "Can't let go", the beginning sounds like an angel, "Emotions", "Fantasy" and "Bringin on the heartbreak". And the "All in your mind" whistle is just cute. (Monday 10 June 2019; 22:52)

Re: Article: Mariah's former assistant reveals singer has fake booty (89,882) (89,887) by MusicfanJ from Germany So true Marissa. I completely agree with "If someone treats everyone around them like trash, you will be next. When people show you who they are, believe them. Don't think that you're so special that you'll be exempt." A grown-up should have known that even with little knowledge of human nature. (Sunday 9 June 2019; 16:25)

Re: Article: Mariah's former assistant reveals singer has fake booty (89,867) (89,873) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm so tired to hear something of those fake/trash people. It's the only thing I feel a bit ashamed of as a long-time fan of Mariah that she allowed them to be part of her inner circle. We all make mistakes, but Mariah must have been blind that she couldn't see what will happen. I mean if you surround yourself with fame and money-hungry snakes. (Saturday 8 June 2019; 18:27)

Re: Curaçao North Sea Jazz (89,847) (89,856) by MusicfanJ from Germany Great "memoirs" from Curaçao. Wow how fantastic it must be to hear Mariah singing while you're on this beautiful island. I love to watch travel documentaries and an episode about Curaçao really got me dreaming. Anyway I hope you get a chance to see Mariah again. I wish all the lambs a nice weekend.

Documentary about the vocal trinity (89,798) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yesterday there was a doc about the vocal trinity (Whitney, Mariah and Celine). Believe it or not but Mariah got most praised. It was on the French/German channel Arte, where they showed the snippets of Vanishing and Vision If Love live. There was also a classical singer who talked about the techniques of the three best singers. It was very interesting. Mariah really did give her all since 90 and I'm so happy that she seems to take care more of herself lately. They showed little footage and interviews from 90 until now and my thought was I love her so much, you have to. I wish all lambs a fantastic time who are attending her show today and on Sunday. I read Paris is sold out. (Saturday 1 June 2019; 11:34)

Honey remixes (89,797) by MusicfanJ from Germany Lately I'm a bit obsessed with Mariah's remixes. I rediscovered the Honey remixes and they are so good. Most people think of Mariah as the ballad queen and Christmas of course. I wish more would know about her uptempos and dance songs. But somehow it's also nice that only fans knows the true treasures. (Saturday 1 June 2019; 11:18)

Re: Five most iconic Mariah recordings (89,789) (89,790) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Just the whistle part towards the end of Bringing On The Heartbreak." Oh how could I forget this one. Her whistle is out if this world on this song. (Friday 31 May 2019; 18:24)

Re: Five most iconic Mariah recordings (89,783) (89,787) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love the live version of "America the Beautiful" so much. And the reactions of the NBA players. Tough question, I'll try to choose: 1. Vision of love (until today unrivalled) 2. Without you (one of her best covers) 3. Fantasy (the ultimate Mariah song) 4. Hero (the message will always inspire people) 5. All I want for Christmas is you (MC is the queen of Christmas with no doubts) It's even harder to pick a live-version, maybe the SNL Can't Let Go version and Anytime You Need a Friend at Tokyo Dome. Bill your choices are great. The Dreamlover remix is one of my favs too. I'm going to listen to it now. (Friday 31 May 2019; 14:07)

Re: SFUA and FLAB snippets (89,763) (89,768) by MusicfanJ from Germany Lol the Prisoner rap. That's my tune too. How about Someday and Melt Away? I really love Mariah's set list on this tour. I need a tour DVD of it. It's time for a new one. (Thursday 30 May 2019; 12:58)

Re: Goosebumps: Slipping Away and Music Box (89,749) (89,750) by MusicfanJ from Germany I just watched the videos. Cool surprise. But at the moment I'm totally blown away by "Endless love". Mariah is rocking Europe again. (Tuesday 28 May 2019; 12:12)

Re: Royal Albert Hall (89,741) (89,742) by MusicfanJ from Germany Love to read all the reviews. Royal Albert Hall really must be so special. A tour DVD of it would be very welcomed. I also prefer a smaller venue for Mariah. So it's really perfect. I read that the one in Paris will also be a smaller venue and not a stadium. I wish I could go there or in Hamburg but this time I can't. Are any of you lambs going to see her on the next dates in Europe? I hope to read more of your experiences with the Caution tour.

Re: If septic tanks could sing (89,668) (89,670) by MusicfanJ from Germany All I want to say about this topic is that today I saw a picture with Madonna in our newspaper with the title: Zero points for Germany, but well we were better than Madonna. All were better. Lol I didn't read one positive thing about her "show". And I'm not suprised. (Monday 20 May 2019; 18:14)

Re: First Mariah item (89,663) (89,665) by MusicfanJ from Germany Bill I know what you mean. I discovered Mariah also by my own. It really made it special. So I'm sorry she's mine too. But I never thought if it until I read your post. It's really interesting to read how it all started and I think we as fans have a lot in common how our love for MC started. (Monday 20 May 2019; 11:32)

Re: First Mariah item (89,656) (89,664) by MusicfanJ from Germany The Daydream album/cassette. With this album everything started. My fandom for life. I still have it (the cassette) it's like a holy grail, I mean for music. When I first heard "Fantasy" on the radio I immediately bought the album. And I wanted to know everything about this beautiful woman and singer with a voice I never heard before. Later I realized that Mariah also sung "Without You". A song I loved back then on the radio when I was little. (Monday 20 May 2019; 11:20)

Re: Help Me Make It (89,585) (89,602) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Help me make it", how I love the song. "Right to dream" is also great. But HMMI is superb. (Thursday 16 May 2019; 17:20)

Re: Please respect Madonna, avoid sexist comments (89,550) (89,552) by MusicfanJ from Germany I don't care if an older woman or man dresses like a teen or very young adult. They must feel comfortable. But one great thing is (if you're a grown-up) or getting older, you don't need to stress yourself with trends (like in highschool, for example). I like Madonna's Evita and the movie song. Plus Frozen. The 80ies songs on the radio are ok too. But I still don't like her pirate outfit and the over-sexualized videos. That's not because of her age. It just a matter of taste. (Friday 10 May 2019; 22:25)

Re: Her thing is different (89,541) (89,542) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I know people who said the same. I think that was the time were the fans got divided and a lot of older "listeners" left. I was suprised by the Honey video too back then. But I loved it. Great video. Love the Bond girl style. Her look was sexy but still classy. That's the point, a singer should still look classy if she wants to be taken serious. Madonna was always just shocking and "trendy". No one said: Oh what a voice she has. Lol. Simply entertaining, nothing more. (Friday 10 May 2019; 10:56)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,511) (89,522) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Look at Diana Ross. She is just simply stunning at 75." Oh yes, must be wonderful genes plus a healthy lifestyle. She just looks beautiful. Madonna looks too harsh with all the muscles. Never liked that. Like the "Hung Up" video. What I like most is a classy style or casual and natural. Mariah is a natural beauty. (Wednesday 8 May 2019; 20:06)

Re: BBMAs 2019 (89,476) (89,478) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Madonna reminded me of the old lady from the movie Studio 54 with Ryan Phillipe." Haha I remember the woman from the movie. Lol. I also think Madonna showed again that she's not a nice person. Bitter and envious. (Monday 6 May 2019; 22:12)

Re: BBMAs 2019 (89,473) (89,475) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, the youngsters are so boring to watch. Bad entertainers and definitely no artists. I also think since 2010 it got worse and worse. Those "kids" will never understand that with talent you don't need to shock or copy. If I watch the charts I'm shocked about the songs. It almost sounds all the same. No heart, no real emotion on it. I wonder if the music biz will have another era of great singers like in the 80ies and 90ies. I don't think so. (Monday 6 May 2019; 19:04)

Re: BMA vocal analysis (89,468) (89,472) by MusicfanJ from Germany I take Baldrian if it's needed. But I guess that's nothing that could help a singer. I think the same like Licia as long as Mariah knows what's not working and she really gives her best it makes her very human and "grown-up". But I also wonder if a superstar like Mariah can work a little bit on some things so that she does not need to be too nervous. (Monday 6 May 2019; 14:50)
