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

Re: R. Kelly (87,508) (87,516) by MusicfanJ from Germany As I said before I have cd's from him from the 90ies. It all started with "I believe I can fly" too. But with all I know now, I will never be able to really enjoy the music again. I will keep the cd's but I won't buy any new music or a featuring. It's really a shame that so many artists think they are above the law. (Tuesday 8 January 2019; 19:35)

Re: R. Kelly (87,478) (87,483) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh I just read it on the celebrity news. I listened a lot to his music in the 90ies. But if all the things are true (and I can imagine it) he should be banned from the biz. He may be a great musician but as a human he seems to be scum. Just like Kevin Spacey and many others. I hate when people think because the have power and money they can do everything with everyone. And nobody will say something. So I'm a little disappointed Mariah did say nothing against R. Kelly. She has reasons to, but it would be nice if more people who are famous too would speak up. (Monday 7 January 2019; 11:17)

Re: Portrait (87,475) (87,480) by MusicfanJ from Germany Dove I love the idea for the video. Plus it would be something Mariah has never done before. (Monday 7 January 2019; 11:01)

Re: Adele (87,472) (87,479) by MusicfanJ from Germany Agree. I have the albums 21 and 25 and I like the songs. But to listen to the whole album can be a bit boring indeed. (Monday 7 January 2019; 10:58)

Re: With You (87,457) (87,469) by MusicfanJ from Germany I understand what you mean Randy. "It's almost as if her music is getting younger as she gets older." I think of that since the "MOAIA" album. I enjoy the new album but I would enjoy some songs more without the modern f-language and so on. For example I really love the lyrics from "Clown" or "Touch my body" (great humor and funny). I mean normally if you get older you prefer other lyrics than with 16 or 20. But hey we got "Portrait". The lyrics are pure emotional Mariah. (Sunday 6 January 2019; 23:16)

Re: With You (87,452) (87,456) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love Caution so much. Should have been the single. Second "Giving me Life" and third "8the Grade". And for the younger people "Stay Long Love You". (Sunday 6 January 2019; 19:49)

Re: With You (87,450) (87,455) by MusicfanJ from Germany The music teachers know what they do. But I must admit I like Adele too. She's one of the few younger ones I can listen to, who have a unique voice and is able to write songs. Taylor Swift has a thin voice and Ariana is for me somehow like a kid who is just trendy. (Sunday 6 January 2019; 19:44)

Re: With You (87,450) (87,454) by MusicfanJ from Germany Haha Special K. that's cool. I've noticed the same many times. The stores are often playing Mariah even here. That makes the shopping so much better. They often play "ABMB", "Hero", "Fantasy" and a lot more of her hits. Once they were playing "Thanx for Nothing" and I thought for the first second good music and than I realized it was Mariah. Lol. (Sunday 6 January 2019; 19:35)

Re: Mariah's opinion (87,414) (87,416) by MusicfanJ from Germany Great post this_is_qhm. I would love to hear her speak about her voice. All the details and everything what we fans assume. But I also understand that she doesn't like to talk about her "weapon". Because her brand is still the songbird supreme, the voice and of course the diva for the public. Maybe some people would attack her even more, but a lot of people also love honesty. Hmm maybe in her book/the memoirs we will get a little more info. I hope so. (Friday 4 January 2019; 17:44)

Re: The Roof (87,377) (87,388) by MusicfanJ from Germany I always knew the story was real and not just imagination. Ah I would love to read the true story behind it. (Thursday 3 January 2019; 17:59)

Re: Meet and Greet in December (87,373) (87,387) by MusicfanJ from Germany Thanks for sharing your story and experiences. What a beautiful photo. Your smile is everything. Mariah looks fabulous too. (Thursday 3 January 2019; 17:57)

Re: Best wishes (87,327) (87,334) by MusicfanJ from Germany Thanks Tijl. I wish the same for you and for the MCA family around the world. 2018 was one of the hardest years for me personally. So I look forward to 2019. And thanks to the webmaster. I really appreciate to come here and enjoy you all. (Monday 31 December 2018; 17:31)

Re: AIWFCIY #1 in Norway (87,304) (87,309) by MusicfanJ from Germany Here in Germany it's still at number 2. Like in the UK right? Next year it has to be number one. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 15:25)

Re: Christmas (87,303) (87,308) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mara first I want to say happy belated birthday to you. You must be very happy with the lovely presents. Unfortunately I have no experiences with a meet and great for Mariah. But I can completely understand what you mean with super excited. I've been a fan and admirer for Mariah since 95. So I grew up with her too. It's like you said, it's one big lifetime dream to meet the woman who is there for one for so long. Somehow MC is like a close friend because she's a part of our life with her music and so on. I mean the longtime fans. Anyway I'm sure you'll find a nice outfit for Mariah. You'll look beautiful with everything. Don't be too nervous. But I understand that it's almost a bit frightening. Your thought what would happen if Mariah has a bad day could be mine, if I had a meet and great. But that won't happen. I know on this board are some members who have already had the meet and great. It's always interesting to read those experiences. (Sunday 30 December 2018; 15:23)

Giving me life / the Eddie Murphy part (87,269) by MusicfanJ from Germany I just found out that the speaking part at the beginning is from the movie "Trading places". I know that is was written in the booklet. But I didn't know what movie it is. I googled the translation and realized it's from one of my favorite movies. Lol. Only Mariah would use such a quote and I love it. So it seems that Mariah likes that movie too. Sorry Webmaster for sending an unready message. It was the smartphone. (Friday 28 December 2018; 19:31)

Re: Full - We're Not Making Love Anymore (87,257) (87,260) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow just wow. I've always wanted to listen to the full song like so many of you. The snippet I know was great but the full version shows again what a voice. Incredible. There's so much emotion and soul in it. I wish they would release all the hidden treasures too. Thanks for the link. And thanks to Tom Webster for uploading this. I'm so happy to listen to the whole song now. (Thursday 27 December 2018; 20:22)

Re: Merry Christmas (87,212) (87,215) by MusicfanJ from Germany I don't know B. I thought it had already a premiere on tv in the USA. (Monday 24 December 2018; 17:38)

Re: Merry Christmas (87,210) (87,211) by MusicfanJ from Germany Merry Christmas everyone. Today Mariah's AIWFCIY animated movie will be on TV on Disney Channel Germany. That's cool. (Monday 24 December 2018; 14:39)

Re: Tommy / Walter (87,187) (87,195) by MusicfanJ from Germany Dove, completely agree with everything. Great post. (Saturday 22 December 2018; 12:44)

Re: Walter the retail relic (87,186) (87,194) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, you don't need to like Walter. I understand that Mariah is still a bit angry about him as a person. But professionally they created magical songs that will stay forever. I love her new album but honestly you can't compare the songs with "Everything fades away", "Can't let go" or "Anytime you need a friend". They are on their own league. To say they just had an easy formula back than is not true. The harmonies and the lyrics were just perfect. But I agree that today's music business wouldn't appreciate it like they did in the 90ies. (Saturday 22 December 2018; 12:43)

Re: Instagram stalker (87,185) (87,193) by MusicfanJ from Germany Lol. Tommy was and still is a bit obsessed with Mariah. I believe MC that he was a control freak. When Thalia had her first "hit" single I thought she was copying a bit from MC. That was before Tommy was dating Thalia. I think he still wishes he would take part in Mariah's life. (Saturday 22 December 2018; 12:33)

Re: We are in the midst of the Mariahsance (87,177) (87,181) by MusicfanJ from Germany I enjoyed it too. Great article. It's true, I was almost surprised about the good music reviews for "Caution". Mariah can be proud of her successful tour, her new album and of course the love she's finally getting from the music business. And I think we as fans are happy that 2018 Mariah was showing that she's having fun again with her music and tour. (Friday 21 December 2018; 14:10)

Re: Jaker20 (87,147) (87,150) by MusicfanJ from Germany Why should Mariah acknowledge Ariana? MC did acknowledge real artists so many times since day one. And she's still praising other musicians. But should a singer praise every other singer just because they are in the same business? I don't think so. I would never praise a person if I don't like him/her. That's normal. It has nothing to do with insecurity. It's better to say nothing sometimes than saying something positive when it's not true and not heartfelt. Mariah doesn't need to play up to Ariana. Fun fact: I love Julia Roberts. I love her look and her acting. But I can't stand J.Lo for many reasons. Of course everyone has another taste, luckily. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 22:19)

Re: (87,141) (87,142) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm so sorry to hear that B. My deepest condolences. (Wednesday 19 December 2018; 15:48)

Re: Ariana (87,104) (87,115) by MusicfanJ from Germany TJ if you watch old interviews from Mariah you could tell she was a diva in the 90ies. At the age of 24 she was already a global superstar with many number ones and a bestselling female artist. I can only imagine how that affects a young person. But for me Mariah was always more playing the diva and hiding a bit of her true, sensitive part. I think Mariah was the biggest diva during 95/96. In the late 90ies she just seemed funny and humble again. What I'm trying to say is Mariah was a diva almost since the beginning. But I don't mean it negative. Mariah is much more than that image. We fans know it. We feel it trough her music. Someone wrote on YouTube just look into her eyes and you see the "real" MC. I agree with it. I see a beautiful woman with a big heart. Now I'm gonna listen to "Portait". (Tuesday 18 December 2018; 17:39)
