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

Re: 5 current female acts you'd like Mimi to work with (77,480) (77,492) by MusicfanJ from Germany 1. Alicia Keys (they could create beautiful soul or retro-soul) 2. Lady Gaga (a dance track or even a ballad) 3. Sia (a modern rnb song) 4. Kelis (a "classic" rnb uptempo) 5. Sade (would be a dream duet) (Wednesday 26 July 2017; 19:15)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey struggles to climb into her car (77,479) (77,481) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's sad. I wish those public embarrassing moments would stop. I'm so tired of it. It's enough. And it still feels so strange to me. Ribbon B, I had to laugh so laud because of Crusty. The clown is telling MC not to stop the restaurant moments, because it's "hot".

Re: One Sweet Day (Mariah only version) (77,444) (77,453) by MusicfanJ from Germany I had never heard this version. I love Boyz II Men but the Mariah only version is also so beautiful. Her voice on it makes me happy while listening to it. So much emotion and softness in one. (Tuesday 25 July 2017; 11:24)

Re: Someday (new vocals) (77,417) (77,433) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow this is so good. When she sings "you're gonna want me baby", I love it. Please Mariah give us a cd with unreleased versions of your masterpieces. Only Mariah can make me "freak out" because of unheard vocals. (Monday 24 July 2017; 17:26)

Re: The 4:49 to Careytown (77,402) (77,406) by MusicfanJ from Germany You're right. This is the smile I was missing so much. It's not forced and fake, please more of it. It's good to finally recognize Miss Mariah Carey again. (Sunday 23 July 2017; 11:46)

Re: New photo (77,366) (77,374) by MusicfanJ from Germany Licia you made my day with the "baggage" comment. The "chicken" pic is hilarious. First I thought it was an alien hand. Sometimes all the stuff do remind me of a comic. (Saturday 22 July 2017; 11:21)

Re: Do You Think of Me (77,353) (77,358) by MusicfanJ from Germany What a beautiful song. It's one of my favorites. I just love the way Mariah is singing it. You can really hear her sensual longing. When I discovered the song, I couldn't understand why it's just on a b-side. I love all her b-side songs. They are better than some released singles. "Do you think of me" is pure Mariah. It also has something mysterious which I loved from the very first time when I first heard Mariah's beautiful voice. (Friday 21 July 2017; 21:30)

Re: All part of a big comeback? (77,320) (77,324) by MusicfanJ from Germany I have nothing against another "transformation". At the moment it would be good. I don't believe it has something to do with a "comeback". Hmm sometimes I forget that we are talking about Marian Carey. Her image is really at an all-time low. I would never have thought that this is possible. Mariah should take a real break and enjoy her family and "normal" moments. I'm for a relaxed Mariah who is then starting something new with her true spirit and creative ideas for new music. (Thursday 20 July 2017; 19:24)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey performs in final Las Vegas residency show (77,306) (77,309) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes it all depends on the right clothes. The outfits she was wearing during the Charmbracelet tour were a dream compared to this. What I don't understand, doesn't she know that the public is laughing about it? Just yesterday I read comments on online news and they were all the same. I mean if you're on stage, you must know that everyone sees it right? It's not like you're at home and making fun with your wardrobe. I know many people who earn not much but they're always good-looking because of classy clothes (that don't cost much). It seems to me that Mariah gets demonstrated. And it hurts to watch. (Thursday 20 July 2017; 10:54)

Re: Despacito (77,262) (77,272) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mariah's "One Sweet Day" is a holy grail for me. So I hope her record with it will last long. I remember when she said in an interview, she never planned it like "we gonna make 16 weeks baby". A summer hit shouldn't break the record. But I'm relaxed, even "Macarena" wasn't able to do it. The Rihanna song, I don't care at all if it's going to be a number one. Such a bad song, only the sample from "Maria Maria" by Santana is good. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 19:59)

Re: Despacito (77,248) (77,249) by MusicfanJ from Germany Rihanna can have hundred "hits" she will never be able to take Mariah's music "crown". Her singing is a joke and I can't stand her persona but that's another thing. Despacito is a classical summer hit, it's on heavy rotation in Europe. So maybe it will stay a while. I must say I'm pretty bored of the actual charts. Most of it sounds so similiar and uninspired. (Tuesday 18 July 2017; 11:21)

Re: Thank you for the "negativity" (77,230) (77,234) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mariah is very smart, that's one reason I've always loved about her. But sometimes she seems to hide her smart mind. And she's definitely insecure, nothing wrong with it. Everybody has times of feeling not secure. Some more some less. But like someone posted here, Mariah should show the world again, why she was on top and why she's still in the business. A lot of people forget why she's one of the greatest. For me she's the greatest, but an image can destroy all those things she has worked her entire life for. I think it's sad if the public and press are only talking about outfits and "diva" behavior. Mariah is more than that like we all know. Of course she can decide how she wants to be seen in the public. But does she really know how her image is right now? I believe she will show a more relaxed side of herself in the future. Maybe her children will tell her to be the real Mariah in the public again. I love MC, I just miss the natural, down to earth woman who's smile could easily melt ice. I also understand that a star of her level needs a persona to protect herself. Hmm I hope some of this board understand what I mean. I just want Mariah to be happy. And if she has new ideas for a new album it would be great. Because I can't get enough.

Re: Mariah and Monroe (77,183) (77,185) by MusicfanJ from Germany "I wonder if the woman who wears lingerie at a night club is some sort of decoy stunt double sometimes." Haha yes Bill you're right. That's the reason for all. The pics with the kids shows the real Mariah. The other woman is just a double. Mariah thinks a double is perfect, she has free time to spend with the family and the double is working. Lol. (Saturday 15 July 2017; 16:02)

Re: Thoughts (77,167) (77,180) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow Mara, your thoughts are great as usual, thanks for sharing. I hope you get well soon, the lambily will send you some love. I completely agree with everything you said. It must be very hard to be Mariah Carey, but it's clear that's not the only reason why she is suffering. Like you said we "older" ones know her golden years and I miss the human Mariah. The last two years MC is hiding herself through a masquerade. I also wish she would talk more about some things, show the world her human side. It's not healthy to hide the feelings 24/7. I'm sure most of the people and fans would understand more things if she just talks a bit. The glamour diva unicorn world needs a break. I think you can compare Mariah to a good friend, if he/she would look troubled a true friend would speak up. The one who will stay silent, isn't a friend. And yes, we lost too many great artists the last few years. So it's natural to get a little bit worried after the latest actions. It's good to know that I'm not the only one who's having those thoughts. The Russian clan doesn't care at all, I just wish Mariah would know that we care for her as a human being not only the superstar. (Saturday 15 July 2017; 13:14)

Re: Voice coach or operation (77,122) (77,123) by MusicfanJ from Germany I don't know, I have the same opinion as Licia. Mariah should take the one, which she feels comfortable with. To be honest I'm on a point where I'm more worried of the person Mariah than of her voice. I can live without her whistle register and I'm ok if she wants to do only singles and some strange commercials. But it hurts to see her in Vegas, Mariah looks like a caricature. So unnatural and again not happy. She or Mishka can post a hundred "fun" Tanaka pictures. I don't believe it. I would love to know what she really thinks inside. She's too smart for the circus but she keeps it. Why? Like someone on this board said, sometimes it looks like self sabotage. Is this the price for her fame? I don't recognize her most of the time. And it makes me so sad. So what I really want is that Mariah finds her inner peace again, her true strength (without playing a role and awkward pics). Hollywood Vegas just no, I prefer the "New York girl". Sorry but I had to speak about my inner feelings. (Friday 14 July 2017; 16:13)

Re: OK third show highlights (77,082) (77,085) by MusicfanJ from Germany I also think the lambily always expect more, because we've been there for a long time and we know her genius talent more than others. With the voice I always wonder if it's only the "bad treatment". Do you remember the 98 and 99 interviews where she was always steaming and talking about how important rest and the tea with lemon and honey is? I mean she didn't seem like a singer who doesn't take care of her voice, more the opposite. I hope the fans are not the problem for her. I think there's something else that "stops" her inside. (Thursday 13 July 2017; 11:43)

Close My Eyes and Whenever You Call (77,039) by MusicfanJ from Germany No one will ever be able to transform so much emotion. I mean "Close my eyes" is so peaceful, I love the lyrics. WYC get's me everytime, what a love song. When she sings: "And now, there it has begun, we cannot turn back, we can only turn into one" and the chorus starts, I'm done. Someone bring back the "dreamy" romantic Mariah. (Tuesday 11 July 2017; 16:00)

Re: Butterfly (77,025) (77,038) by MusicfanJ from Germany I can't believe it's been 20 years ago that this beautiful, timeless album got released. This album deserves a new release with bonus songs or unheard vocals. Like Michael Jackson's "Off the Wall" and "Bad". Since all of you were talking about "Fourth of July" I'm also in love again with the song. Mariah is taking you to a journey with only words and the beautiful melody. It's like a journey to paradise. Honestly "Butterfly" shows all her genius talent. For me it's not only pop and rnb, it's pure artistry. Vere rare, and something that is almost gone in today's popular music. (Tuesday 11 July 2017; 15:44)

Re: Why you mad at Mariah? (77,030) (77,031) by MusicfanJ from Germany Victor from Costa Rica, your thoughts and theories are very interesting. Especially this "I think she is hurt in a very deep level plus she could be been blackmailed". I also believe she is very hurt inside for a lot of reasons (some we might know and some are hidden). During her peak Mariah was perfection in every way, so like you said then there's mostly only a way down and the people love to the see a superstar falling down. She gave the world truly everthing she had, and got used. The industry was never nice to her. But I won't believe that she thinks the fans doesn't deserve more. Maybe she doesn't care anymore. But to see her like a shadow of herself is so hurtful. I don't need another hit single from Mariah, I just want her to be happy and healthy. I hope that she wants it too. (Tuesday 11 July 2017; 12:14)

Re: All The Hits (77,013) (77,018) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh Bill, your set list sounds scary. I hope it won't happen this way. The audience will not be happy. (Monday 10 July 2017; 15:26)

Re: Wrapping up Vegas (76,986) (76,989) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes "Without you" is a big international hit. When she sang it on tour in Germany the crowd were freaking out by the first to three seconds and were blown away when she started the chorus. Her aura is so special. I've been to a lot of concerts but with Mariah it's like you're watching a living world wonder. It's magical to see and hear her live. I have no other word for it. So thanks for the link. (Sunday 9 July 2017; 15:40)

Re: New unheard Fantasy vocals (acapella) (76,974) (76,985) by MusicfanJ from Germany I absolutely love it. I can't get enough of the unheard vocals. (Sunday 9 July 2017; 12:51)

Re: Licia/Mimi (76,956) (76,962) by MusicfanJ from Germany Ribbon B. Mimi is paying for her fake lifestyle of fake friends and hangers on. Guess it is "win win" I completely agree with it. All fake things are very expensive. Mariah would really "win" if she would surround herself with real people. I was never a fan of this Hollywood-lifestyle. It had destroyed too many talented people. I think Mariah should choose the middle. Enjoy here and there luxury but without the plastic and fake people. I wonder if she will ever realize that sometimes less can be more. (Saturday 8 July 2017; 11:08)

Re: On a positive note (76,943) (76,951) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes she looks beautiful and much younger. She doesn't need much make-up, the masquerade makes everyone older not prettier. So I hope to see more of the casual MC. Mariah's swimsuit is cool. (Friday 7 July 2017; 17:53)

Re: Chriatnas [sic] in Vegas? (76,924) (76,928) by MusicfanJ from Germany I wonder too. Oh yes, NY is perfect for Christmas. When was the last time Mariah was "seen" in New York? Does she still own this wonderful penthouse in New York City? I understand that Mariah may not like the weather there (too cold) but it's her hometown. I wish she would spend a little more time there (without her entourage). (Thursday 6 July 2017; 21:24)
