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

Re: Wild Thoughts / chorus girl Mariah (76,917) (76,918) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's funny that you mentioned the "Maria Maria" sample because I thought the same, it's the best part of the song. And the kids have no idea how beautiful the original song is. Lol Rihanna sounds as usually not good. Her singing reminds me of a female duck in some parts. I hope Mariah will not go that route, if I want to hear bubble-gum pop or uninspired, overproduced Rnb I can switch to the radio or music tv. Like B. said I want a Mariah song. As simple as said. I'm tired of the guest-rappers. And I don't need this DJ Khaled and other hip Djs. It would be ok for two or three songs on an album but I really need a heartfelt song with great lyrics.

Re: For the first time in a while (76,899) (76,906) by MusicfanJ from Germany I thought the same when I watched the clip where she is swimming. That's Mariah, please more of this. I love when she has fun, real fun. (Wednesday 5 July 2017; 18:17)

Re: Mariah (76,878) (76,882) by MusicfanJ from Germany So it's not true with the credit card. But every week another "headline" about the possible boyfriend, wedding, parties, restaurants, outfits, commercials and the list goes on. It's too much Hollywood for me. (Tuesday 4 July 2017; 19:58)

Re: Mariah (76,875) (76,878) by MusicfanJ from Germany If it's true with the credit card, it's time to wake up. Well since a while it's time for that. Even Michael Jackson got broke and he was "forced" to do the "This is it" Tour. And a lot of other rich people experienced the same because of the false consultants. With the jet I have no words for it. Mariah must be blind to trust the "clan" aka her empowerment crew. (Tuesday 4 July 2017; 13:24)

Re: Jazz album (76,850) (76,854) by MusicfanJ from Germany How I love Ella Fitzgerald. The songbooks and Gershwin are a "holy grail" in music. But only a true musician with soul and a lot of talent can sing this wonderful music. If Rihanna, Tyler Swift and all those other hyped stars would sing a jazzy tune it would sound awful. They will never be able to sing it. Jazz is more than music for intellectual, it's timeless and if you're open to it, it's pure pleasure for the ears. (Monday 3 July 2017; 15:39)

Re: Celine (76,837) (76,849) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Sexy and Celine do not go together at all." Gee, I totally agree with you. (Monday 3 July 2017; 12:16)

Re: Jazz album (76,834) (76,848) by MusicfanJ from Germany Terna, jazz is not for "ugly rough voices", but I get that you don't like this type of music. Neo-Soul would be nice, lately I prefer soul music over the modern rnb. I just wish Mariah would try a new formula, a little bit experience. I also would love an album full of "retro-soul". So the lambs want jazz, gospel, rnb and soul. Great combination. (Monday 3 July 2017; 12:12)

Re: MIAM (76,818) (76,822) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's true it has something for everyone. After the first listen of the album I was a bit disappointed, but now I really love it. Especially "Meteorite" and "Beautiful" I won't miss. And "Thirsty" and "Cry" are also on that list. (Sunday 2 July 2017; 11:43)

Adele canceling tour (76,801) by MusicfanJ from Germany In the news they say Adele is canceling her tour because of voice problems. Her doctor told her to do it, the voice needs time to rest. If it's true, my thought is, see Adele's voice is beginning to get raspy because of the concerts, touring and so on after such a "short" period. And we wonder why Mariah's voice started to "change" in 98/99. I mean in the 90ies Mariah was working like crazy, and then 2001 happened. Maybe if she had take more time to rest her voice after 95 everything would be easier for her now. Just a thought. (Saturday 1 July 2017; 11:46)

Re: Jazz album (76,764) (76,768) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm a big jazz fan so I would love if Mariah would do something jazzy. I know young musicians who are great in doing jazz. So it's not only for oldies as some people think. Mariah would sound fantastic, her voice is perfect for that genre. I wonder why nobody is telling her this, or why she isn't experiencing more. Maybe one day. (Thursday 29 June 2017; 20:11)

Re: New pic (76,762) (76,767) by MusicfanJ from Germany I can't stand the necklace. It looks like a dog collar. Sorry. The outfit is ok, but with all the money I know Mariah can do better. But compared to some latest Stella look-a-like she really looks cute. (Thursday 29 June 2017; 19:59)

Re: "Fourth of July" - unheard vocals (76,743) (76,748) by MusicfanJ from Germany Sounds so good and almost like a new song. The version on cd is beautiful and pure Mariah, but the unheard vocals are heavenly. I wish there was a cd with rare songs and unheard versions. I'll listen to the album version as well. Great song, I love the romantic MC. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 22:05)

Re: Thanks for Nothing in Baku (76,731) (76,735) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes "Cruise Control" should have been a hit. The whole album has so many good songs that didn't get the attention they deserved. Migrate, Side Effects and For the record had also great potential to become a hit. I love EMC2 so much. Great album. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 11:14)

Re: It's not to stay relevent (76,726) (76,734) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes I do hope te music is her priority too. Or let's say will be again. It's ok to have side projects but please not only for making fast money. In the 90ies the commercials for Japan were great. The Pinko and perfume stuff is also nice. But the latest deals like champagne, match.com, the "Israel"-water and Dead Sea cosmetics, private gigs for rich people I'm not a fan of this. I want new music which is heartfelt with great lyrics. Pop, Soul, Rnb, Jazz whatever she wants to do. And if Mariah is no longer interested in "normal" album releases, it's ok. All I'm asking for is to bring back the professional behavior with a good taste (without using the f. and too much diva-talking.) It's getting boring and she's so much more than this. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 11:07)

Re: Mariah crying while singing (76,665) (76,667) by MusicfanJ from Germany Honestly if this is true I wouldn't be surprised. Something is so wrong. We can't look behind closed doors and so on but I do believe that Mariah isn't feeling very well. I don't want to speculate about possible reasons but one thing is clear: her circus is hiding "messages" from fans and other people. It seems like Mariah is "caged" again. While her first marriage it was Tommy who wanted full control, now it's even worse because the new controlling is taking damage on many levels. Maybe she realizes it or can't hide any more how she really feels. The diva persona was always there to protect the person Mariah, she's a very sensitive and emotional woman. That can be a dangerous thing in showbiz. (Monday 26 June 2017; 19:44)

Re: Could we all be part of another metamorphosis? (76,657) (76,658) by MusicfanJ from Germany I have nothing against a metamorphosis. It is natural and everyone is changing now and then but to change so extremely is strange. A "beautiful butterfly" should never turn into something trashy. But I know what you mean. In 97 a lot of fans didn't like the more urban-style Mariah. But I think compared to now it really was "harmless". It was more because of the music not only because of her new sexy looking. Maybe she choose Stella and her daughters to impress some younger people but for what was it really good? A lot of fans are disappointed and as you said don't recognize her anymore. Mariah Carey doesn't need the yellow press like a new teen star. They won't buy music, they won't go to her concerts. They will just watch YouTube, instagram and co. for some free "entertainment". I just wish Mariah would reinvent to someone without the current image. It must be very hard to be a living legend since the millennium but Mariah can do so much better than lately. Maybe it's all fun for her, or a strategy but I don't get it. Anyway I wish her the best, I love MC. (Monday 26 June 2017; 15:19)

Re: Out and about in Paris (76,627) (76,628) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes that looks more like Mariah. She is a beauty, she just needs the right outfits. I love her hair, looks a little bit shorter. So much better than too long and without volume. Is there a Parisian stylist that finally has eyes for a good look? (Sunday 25 June 2017; 14:56)

Re: Legit question (76,599) (76,603) by MusicfanJ from Germany No I never forget that Mariah is a singer. That's why I'm not happy with the latest choices and so on. But you're right some people might forget that she is. (Saturday 24 June 2017; 12:38)

Re: Can't Let Go (76,565) (76,568) by MusicfanJ from Germany Licia you're rocking the house with "Can't let go". This is cool. Definitely sounds like a good morning. I also love the part of the song, best lyric and emotion in one. (Friday 23 June 2017; 11:40)

Re: Mariah with fan in Spain (76,560) (76,566) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes Louise McNally was a good one. She was clearly not a bff for Mariah but that wasn't her job. I think she was very professional and tried her best to "protect" the superstar Mariah Carey. Maybe she was too strict for MC but better than the 24/7 reality-tv that we have now. (Friday 23 June 2017; 11:31)

Re: Wanna trade places? (76,529) (76,534) by MusicfanJ from Germany What a lovely interview. This is Mariah without playing a "role". So classy and wonderful. How she talks about the bad sides in the music business is almost heartbreaking if you think about what's going on now. (Thursday 22 June 2017; 10:37)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey on shopping trip in Barcelona (76,454) (76,463) by MusicfanJ from Germany Another outfit that screams why? Who is telling MC that this is looking good, her "team"? Anyway shopping won't make it better. Everyone knows she has thousands of beautiful dresses and outfits to enjoy. Mariah should use this trip to Spain for rethinking. Her image once was almost holy and now it seems like she doesn't care anymore. But what really worries me, is that she looks unhappy. (Tuesday 20 June 2017; 19:57)

Re: Glitter era vs now (76,439) (76,440) by MusicfanJ from Germany I also think this era is worse than Glitter. I loved Glitter, Mariah was working too much, the movie flopped and MC had the "public breakdown". But then she seemed to recover slowly and took care of herself. That's what I miss now. I can't see any recovery or help. She seems lost and broken and is surrounded with stupid and toxic people. If you "follow" Mariah's music career since 22 years, it hurts to see her like this. (Tuesday 20 June 2017; 11:32)

Re: The old Mariah (76,420) (76,421) by MusicfanJ from Germany I noticed it too that after having the kids, her choices weren't good at all. You can think her children would've brought stability but I guess like Hilton said with the divorce and accident everthing went down. I hope the medication will stop, Michael Jackson had that horrible accident with the fire for a commercial and a lot of people said that's when the medical addiction started. Maybe it's a combination of medicine and some drinks to deal with all the pain. And we all know it hasn't helped anybody ever. Mariah was always so strong inside, one reason I admired her. But now she just seems very fragile and looks like she needs help. (Monday 19 June 2017; 14:57)

Re: What is wrong with the Glock Horse performance? (76,412) (76,417) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes something is wrong since two years. (Or even a bit longer). There's something going on that worries me. Please Mariah start to take care of yourself. Nobody seems to do it. (Monday 19 June 2017; 12:03)
