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

Re: Legend forever (87,064) (87,105) by MusicfanJ from Germany B. I'm sorry to hear that. I had a tough time too this year. So many bad things happend and almost everybody I know is saying the same. Anyway I'm sending you love and good wishes for your grandmother. (Monday 17 December 2018; 19:33)

Re: What's the next holiday classic? (87,071) (87,102) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love "When christmas comes". The original has already a classic vibe, I love the retro soul feeling. The version with John Legend is also very catchy. "Christmas time is in the air again" is a next holiday classic too. (Monday 17 December 2018; 17:22)

Re: Ariana (87,093) (87,101) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yup, I can't stand Ariana for the same reasons too. Everything looks so forced and fake. Only business, nothing feels heartfelt and honest. She's really just a "Disney kid" who knows what seems to be "trendy" for the mainstream. I remember when I was in school, my young music teachers almost adored Mariah for her talent. They were really impressed by the songbird supreme. That will never happen with Ariana. (Monday 17 December 2018; 17:17)

Mariah, Jimmy Fallon and the Roots (87,049) by MusicfanJ from Germany I've never seen this. I love it. Mariah is so sweet while singing and the idea with the school instruments, just great. What year was it? Does anybody know? How could I miss that. (Saturday 15 December 2018; 21:07)

Re: Billboard 200 album chart (86,983) (86,984) by MusicfanJ from Germany Deedre that's right. It's really a nice little movie for the Christmas time. It has a good message and humor (the Christmas decoration from the neighbor). Of course I love the original version with Mariah's narration. But even with the synchro it's enjoyable. How nice from your mom to buy it for you. Merry Christmas. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 15:25)

Re: Billboard 200 album chart (86,976) (86,977) by MusicfanJ from Germany I think it's not a surprise. I'm pretty sure her Christmas album will get even higher next week. Everywhere I go, I hear "AIWFCIY". With the strong streaming of it and downloads Mariah could get another present before Christmas night. This song is truly an everlasting gem. That a 24-year old Mariah wrote it makes it even more special. I even watched the animated kids movie yesterday. It was fun watching it. Little animated MC and Jack, too cute. (Tuesday 11 December 2018; 10:26)

Re: Merry Christmas album (86,938) (86,944) by MusicfanJ from Germany The same here. Even my ‎colleague loves it when "AIWFCIY" gets played on the radio. And it gets played a lot here. Imagine this year it would be at number one. Not that MC needs another one, but it would be nice for her and the lambs worldwide. Anyway I wish you all a wonderful time and a lot of festive moments. Merry Christmas. (Saturday 8 December 2018; 11:20)

Re: Billboard's Woman of the Year (86,940) (86,943) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yup she sounds nothing like Mariah and will never. Maybe they compared her because it was obvious Ariana tried to copy some things or maybe were forced from the management (I don't know). Christina Aguilera were compared at the beginning of her career too to MC. But after a while Christina really got her own style. I can't see that yet by Ariana. (Saturday 8 December 2018; 11:14)

Re: Christmas albums (86,900) (86,912) by MusicfanJ from Germany I like the one from Michael Buble, the star soundtrack (not only because of MC) and the Christmas cd from Elvis. (Thursday 6 December 2018; 19:11)

Re: Top R&B albums - back to back #1s (86,886) (86,911) by MusicfanJ from Germany Her old Christmas album is like wine. It gets better and better. But I also love MC2. Special K. I think I'm still enchanted by yesterday's concert. (Thursday 6 December 2018; 19:06)

Re: Berlin concert (86,908) (86,910) by MusicfanJ from Germany Luckily I joined the Berlin concert. The 5-hour travelling was definitely worth it. As Manuel said it was a pleasure to see Mariah and her show. And I can only agree. The mood of the audience was great, Mariah got love from the first second and she got the love back. Her smile can melt ice. She seemed like an angel and a Christmas princess in one person. Of course some parts were lipped, but the live parts were blowing you away. Mariah still got it. A true legend who was rocking the arena. I also enjoyed her band, the dancers and of course Trey and the other two singing ladies in the background. I had two Italian fans behind me and they were literally freaking out. Even the older ones (and I mean old) were having fun and gave her standing ovations. What else can I say? In the German newspaper from Berlin it is written even Grinch would get in the Christmas mood after watching her concert. It was a spectacle. Mariah looked beautiful and it was an honor to see her live. Thank you Mariah for that great evening. It was like beautiful dream. Something the people need more than ever today. I wish all the lambs who are joining her other concerts in Europe a great time. You'll have it. (Thursday 6 December 2018; 19:02)

Re: I feel ashamed (86,758) (86,771) by MusicfanJ from Germany Hi MC1989, I know what you mean. Your descriptions of the costumes sounds scary. I was hoping that this year the costumes would be more classy and tasteful since Crustella is gone. Just a red dress or something very classy for the show would suit perfect. I love her "princess" dress from Disneyland. That would be great too. Hmm the Angel thing I don't get it too. (Sunday 2 December 2018; 17:35)

Re: Christmas tour (86,722) (86,733) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'll go with a friend. I live near Frankfurt and the last time I was in Berlin was with the vocational school. So it's a long time ago. Lol. I'm very excited for Berlin and MC. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 19:55)

Re: Christmas tour (86,711) (86,730) by MusicfanJ from Germany I was even suprised that she will do one show in Germany for the Christmas concert. Last year it was only Paris and the UK. And the last concert in Cologne during her "SSFT" wasn't sold out. Anyway I hope we'll enjoy her concert. Can't believe it's next week. Frohe Weihnachten Andrew. (Saturday 1 December 2018; 19:45)

Christmas tour (86,691) by MusicfanJ from Germany Who will be going to one of her concerts during the Europe Christmas Tour? It's a tough schedule for MC. I hope for all the lambs that there won't be a cancelling. Christmas season has officially started. (Friday 30 November 2018; 13:49)

Re: Almost Home (86,643) (86,644) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, sounds like another one wrote it. I wonder why she doesn't like it. It sounds not like a typical Mariah song, but I love "Almost Home". It suits perfect for the movie. (Thursday 29 November 2018; 10:47)

Re: Why 8th Grade? Butterfly marries TEOM 86,616) (86,621) by MusicfanJ from Germany I like the title too. I love everything which is nostalgic. And the 8th grade was tough for me too. I guess for most 14-15 year old ones it still is. (Wednesday 28 November 2018; 19:58)

Article: Forever Mariah (86,620) by MusicfanJ from Germany What a great interview. It was a pleasure to read it. No nonsense, good questions and most of all good answers by Mariah. (Wednesday 28 November 2018; 19:52)

Re: Caution next singles (86,584) (86,588) by MusicfanJ from Germany When I first listened to "Stay Long Love You" I thought the same. The teens and young twens will love it. This song sounds a lot like many songs on the charts and radio stations for the young people. (Tuesday 27 November 2018; 19:50)

Re: Giving Me Life (86,492) (86,499) by MusicfanJ from Germany This song is everything. The last minute is magical. I love the guitar and her high notes so much. "Giving me life" is from the beginning to end a masterpiece. I wonder about who she is singing. Maybe it's just her perfect imagination. I can't get enough of this one. It has this cool roof vibe but even "deeper". Pure genius Mariah. (Sunday 25 November 2018; 15:09)

Re: Mariah sales (86,485) (86,496) by MusicfanJ from Germany "I think some fans were probably disconnected after the last couple of years." I think the same. And the general public has problems with her image, "the over-the-top diva". Last year was the only time I really wasn't able to recognize Mariah at all. And I'm a fan since 95. I mean we fans know her diva playing and humor. But what was going on a year ago, was just shocking. Mariah looks so much better and healthier now. Everything changed in a positive way since then. So I'm a bit surprised of the sales too. Anyway I love "Caution". It just gets better by every listen. (Sunday 25 November 2018; 14:27)

Re: Selected Target stores only (86,481) (86,495) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's true. I like Cher a lot. I love when they are playing her hits on the radio. Always feel good songs. (Sunday 25 November 2018; 12:29)

Re: Selected Target stores only (86,465) (86,472) by MusicfanJ from Germany Completely agree. Your comment about Cher was hilarious. I think there are many reasons why it's only 50.000. One is surely the disconnect not Mariah's age. I'm just happy that the horrible "management" from the last year is gone. (Saturday 24 November 2018; 20:55)

Re: Honey (86,445) (86,449) by MusicfanJ from Germany Interesting, didn't know it as well. Yes, Mariah and 2Pac. I once read 2Pac loved MC's "Vision of love". (Friday 23 November 2018; 21:59)

Re: Selected Target stores only (86,442) (86,448) by MusicfanJ from Germany Special K, I buy physical cd's. The streaming and only downloading is not my thing. I know I'm retro. The teenagers here are the same. Lol. They have only digital music and are listening with their smartphone. But a lot of grown-ups are buying cd's. And the vinyl is still a trend for music collectors. I can imagine a lot of teens would enjoy Mariah's new album. (Friday 23 November 2018; 21:55)
