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

Re: Mariah Bulochnikov (76,108) (76,110) by MusicfanJ from Germany What Mariah wears looks like a Stella costume. I can't believe it. Even the iPhone case. Lol. What's next? Black hair for a total transformation. Has Mariah no mirrors anymore? A jogging trousers and a casual t-shirt would look prettier than this. It's ok to wear ugly things once in a while. But to dress like the tasteless manager, why Mariah? Is it possible to be so insecure that she copies the Stella outfits? I know it sounds a bit harsh, but that she looks like her (except what Mimi L. mentioned) is ridiculous. Crustella must feel very honored that she gets copied. (Wednesday 7 June 2017; 22:37)

Re: Infinity - it grew on me (76,100) (76,106) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes Mariah and mystery belongs together. I miss it so much. She still has "it" inside but since her new management "take control" she destroyed it more and more with a lot of things. Mariah had something I have never seen by other artists. It wasn't only the image. In 2003 while the Charmbracelet tour, to see her charisma and aura live it was almost too much for me. The empower sh* needs to go, until then I fear nothing will change.

Re: MTV Unplugged article (76,045) (76,066) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Critics praised her charisma and the way she interacted with her audience. So yes: Mariah had long since established herself as a singer, but MTV Unplugged cemented her as a pop star." That's so true. She showed everybody that she's not only a studio-singer. The version of "Can't let go" is so good, love her warm tones there and I even love her speaking voice so much. She sounded so sweet and humble. 22-year old Mariah was showing the world that she only had begun to reign the charts. (Monday 5 June 2017; 20:24)

Re: Manchester events (76,047) (76,065) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's good that the celebtity's are donating all the money. The music was not my taste and I still don't like Ariana as an artist. I think she's a typical "Disney star" like Miley Cyrus but I'm sorry for this girl that she's experienced such a horrible thing. And of course I have a lot of respect that she was doing this concert. To blame Mariah that she wasn't there, I think it's not fair. I remember the tribute concert for 9/11 and Mariah did a great job, all the singers were great back then. When I listen to "Never too far" I always think of the beautiful Hero medley she did. Goosebumps moments. Music is really a sign for peace and hope even in the darkest hours.

Re: To the lambs (76,014) (76,026) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm so sick of the news. Andrew I really hope all your friends and the people you know are safe. I was in London three times and always had a great time, a friend of mine is traveling a lot to England. Sending you and all the lambs out there some love, take care. (Sunday 4 June 2017; 12:03)

Re: MC's 3 steps to success (75,987) (76,005) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mariah's MTV specials were also great. The MTV Crips back then, everybody was talking about it. Or "The ones" with MC in the kitchen and "Around the world" while Charmbracelet. She had many specials that I still have on VHS cassette. MW is just a joke compared to Mariah's TV-specials. I do hope there won't be a MW2. (Saturday 3 June 2017; 19:42)

Re: Mariah lost the plot after Memoirs (75,908) (75,914) by MusicfanJ from Germany Hilton your posts are great. I do believe as you said that if Mariah wouldn't have changed her "formula" everything would look better for her. And even if the industry changed a lot, I'm sure more people (fans or let's say listeners from day one) would still buy a "Mariah album". It's funny that you mentioned Kanye West. I also loved the "College Dropout" and never cared about his personality. But if I hear a song now I just have to think what a strange/arrogant person he seems to be. So his music is very rarely played because of the dislike. (Wednesday 31 May 2017; 18:01)

Re: Martyn (75,892) (75,909) by MusicfanJ from Germany Thanks B for sharing. It's still unbelievable and makes me sad to watch. But I also think it's a nice gesture that Wendy Williams was explaining the audience why the chair is empty and that she talked about Martyn's plans. (Wednesday 31 May 2017; 13:55)

Re: Mariah lost the plot after Memoirs (75,871) (75,876) by MusicfanJ from Germany I've noticed it too. There was a change with "Obsessed". Like Hilton on this board said the song release was not typical for Mariah. Was it the time Mariah's private life was already a bit suffering? Or just the changes in the musicbiz? I don't know. And I hope if she releases a new song it will be a happy or "fun" song like Honey. Please no more drama song about a bitter ending romance for a single release. (Tuesday 30 May 2017; 14:19)

Re: Article: Mariah is launching a beauty company with her manager (75,804) (75,810) by MusicfanJ from Germany So true, I thought the same with the smile. I miss her natural smile she always had. That pic with her "manager" is a bit scary to me. Who knows what's really going on? Hmm I think there's a reason Mariah is a beauty school drop-out. I want new music please. (Saturday 27 May 2017; 20:04)

Songs Mariah wrote for other artists (75,801) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm so fascinated, I just found this on YouTube. I only knew that she wrote for Allure and for Trey Lorenz. You really can hear Mariah in all of these songs. But only the lambs and a few more know what a brilliant songwriter and producer Mariah is. I wish she had sung some of these brilliant songs by her self. (Saturday 27 May 2017; 14:24)

Re: Mariah Carey, debut album (75,797) (75,799) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, it's such a good live song. A typical Mariah love song at its best. I used to watch the clip from that 93 Thanksgiving-concert over and over again. She just has so many gems for a live version. Like someone said, we need new versions not only the number ones. But LTT is a number one which should get more attention. (Saturday 27 May 2017; 13:39)

Re: Why a beauty shop? (75,792) (75,798) by MusicfanJ from Germany Haha Mimi L. I think that's exactly what little Mishka said. So what's next, Britney once had the "Sketchers" cooperation. Well that won't work for MC. Honestly I also prefer Mariah would only concentrate on the new record label. (Saturday 27 May 2017; 10:55)

Re: Article: Mariah-Bruno Mars mashups are taking over the internet (75,750) (75,769) by MusicfanJ from Germany The mash-ups are pretty good. It's always nice to hear something new even if it's only a mash-up or remix. (Friday 26 May 2017; 15:12)

Re: Daydream (75,736) (75,755) by MusicfanJ from Germany B. the same with me. I still have the original cassette that I bought back then. It's like a holy grail of music. Daydream made me a fan so it will always be special to me. Beside this I agree with Edward too. Her voice was so powerful and soft. What a combination. The melodies on this album made me daydream a lot. And I still "freak" out when "Fantasy" gets played. The intro of the original version is everything. (Friday 26 May 2017; 11:47)

Re: Re: Martyn who? He is not the only victim (75,698) (75,704) (75,708) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes what a dumb comment by this Nick-Andre. If he is sorry for other people/country or whatever he can do as many hash tags as he want and show it. But it's more than unpolite to tell other people how they should feel and react. Unbelievable. (Thursday 25 May 2017; 15:09)

Re: Martyn, we'll miss you (75,654) (75,656) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I can't hold back the tears too. I'm angry and sad about the tragedy. RIP Martyn. (Wednesday 24 May 2017; 17:17)

Re: Beautiful Martyn (75,635) (75,643) by MusicfanJ from Germany I can't believe it. What a tragedy. As Edward said, I read the post about his plans about the American trip a few days ago. And I thought how cool that he is doing this. And then the sad news. I didn't know him personally but he seemed such a nice and beautiful person. I'm so shocked too. (Wednesday 24 May 2017; 14:29)

Re: Martyn's safety (75,583) (75,584) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes we do. What [a] nightmare, I really hope he's ok. (Tuesday 23 May 2017; 14:40)

Re: Manchester (75,570) (75,579) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm shocked again. Every month new horror news from France, UK, Germany and other countries. So sorry for all the innocent victims. That's one reason why I do miss the 90ies, it felt definitely more safe compared to nowadays. So sick of this. (Tuesday 23 May 2017; 12:12)

Re: Why do we die hards stick around? (75,558) (75,578) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mariah is too talented and precious to give up on her. I will always be thankful how she helped me with her music. A true inspiration, and I won't accept that Crustella with the allowing of MC is ruining this. It's like with a friend, if he or she has troubles you can't let him/her fall down. You're worried and trying to help. It's just sad that our worries aren't heard. Two years of this circus can't erase the wonderful last two decades. As I said there's still some hope that Mariah Carey will be back. But with the "empowerment sh*" I fear it won't happen soon. (Tuesday 23 May 2017; 12:00)

Re: Breakdown (75,516) (75,526) by MusicfanJ from Germany Breakdown really shows how perfect rnb and hip-hop can melt together. This song is perfection. A very smooth Mariah. For me her lyrics were never better than on the Butterfly album. (Also Daydream and Charmbracelet come close to it.) But the songs need time, I remember when I was almost disappointed after Daydream. I have to be in the mood too (for enjoying Butterfly.) What I love about it, that it still sounds new from the production. And "Whenever you call" is one of my favorite ballads. When she sings: "You can turn to me and cry, always understand that I, give you all I am inside" I swear, it's so hard to hold back tears, after listening that part. Only MC can do that. (Monday 22 May 2017; 14:48)

Re: Media attention (75,514) (75,522) by MusicfanJ from Germany Crustella doesn't care of charity. You need to have class to do social things. All the fakeness is making me sick. When Mariah was at the camp in 95 or 96 she really touched my heart. She was so natural, humble and super sweet to the kids. You could tell it wasn't a show, it was real. I never saw a woman more adorable than her at that time. Mariah needs to go back to NY, I have a feeling that not only the circus is poison to her, also California is not her place. She should stay away from plastic/fake Hollywood. If the circus won't stop she is slowly but clearly destroying herself as an artist and more sadly as a person. Now it's not too late to change it. And something must change. Her lambily do more care of her than Crustella and Co. ever will. (Monday 22 May 2017; 14:24)

Re: Tanaka/MC dinner tonight (75,480) (75,500) by MusicfanJ from Germany I've read all the messages here and I can only agree with all of you. Mara you're right, Crustella can also be called Steala. She's really stealing everything from Mariah. Everything what was/is so loveable and classy. The latest Tanaka pic is ridiculous. It's clear the kid or Crustella are behind that "idea". I know it sounds mean but it's hard to recognize Mariah. Thanks to Brat Ratner that he introduced the fake/devils-clan to Mariah. In the past Mariah wouldn't even look at people like that for a second. Trashy wannabes. That MC is also paying for this mess, I just can't understand. (Sunday 21 May 2017; 20:01)

Re: Too much like right? (75,443) (75,444) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, could be true. But it's sad to fill time with such things. It's all so annoying with the team around Mariah lately. When will it stop? Everytime I hope Mariah wakes up and creates a new team with only professionals. And then we get new stuff that seems developed for a soap-opera. Why? Her team only wants money and doesn't care of Mariah and the lambily. (Saturday 20 May 2017; 19:38)
