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

Tanaka (104,714) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Zac Efron" to play Tanaka. Lol that made my day. Hilarious. (Friday 29 December 2023; 17:16) this is a reply to message 104,710

Tanaka (104,710) by Robert-Anthony from United States The Stella/Mishka storyline during MC's life story would be a screenwriter's goldmine. Meryl Streep and Mayim Bialik could play the dynamic duo. Let's throw in Zac Efron to play Tanaka. (Friday 29 December 2023; 12:05)

Tanaka (104,705) by MusicfanJ from Germany To quote Mariah: I don't know her. Seriously that time with Stella was a nightmare. Something I want to forget. (Thursday 28 December 2023; 22:17) this is a reply to message 104,703

Tanaka (104,703) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Y'all must really be trolling because when Stella was in charge of Mariah's business Mariah's image was down in the gutters. It took years for RocNation to build her back up to the legend status that she truly should have been all along. Stella really had her going around LA in her damn bodysuits and put her in a reality show that was a through and through mess. Also not y'all out here missing a thief who stole from Mariah. Bye. Mariah doesn't need Stella's chunky highlighter and cheap leather jackets in her world. I'd rather her not be "relevant". (Thursday 28 December 2023; 19:35)

Tanaka (104,689) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh yes, I would love him too for Mariah if he wasn't married. It's sad that she has everything except a real loving partner. Bryan seemed like a good soul I hope they are both "fine". (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 17:26) this is a reply to message 104,685

Tanaka (104,685) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I agree with the ideally she should date someone closer to her age and some who is on the same or similar level of success as her. If Dwayne Johnson wasn't married haha he would be my top pick for Mariah. Dude is successful, good looking, her age range and adores Mariah. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 15:37)

Tanaka (104,687) by MusicfanJ from Germany I completey agree. Great post. I don't buy the kids argument too. Mariah always said that after Roc and Monroe there will be no more children. So there must be something else. And yes, a real partner would be better than just an admirer. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 17:12) this is a reply to message 104,682

Tanaka (104,682) by BFF from United States Moving forward, I think Mariah needs to date people closer to her own age and who don't give off the "fanboy" vibes. This is the second time that a relationship with someone significantly younger than her hasn't worked out. Nick and Tanaka both always came off as very adolescent and starstruck about Mariah. Mariah needs someone to be an equal partner, not a fawning admirer. I'm not sure she would like a partner like that, but it's what we all need. It wasn't realistic for Tanaka to expect to have children with someone who is divorced with two pre-teen children in her early to mid 50s. They should have ended the relationship a while ago if that was an expectation. Tanaka is also 40 years old himself. I'm not sure I buy the "he wants kids" argument. Maybe Mariah just got bored? (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 14:01)

We need an uptempo song (104,686) by MusicfanJ from Germany Cool response from Adele. I like her even more that she doesn't feel the need to do a trend for some kids. I get sick if I just hear the word Tik Tok. Lol. I hope Mariah will do her thing without that stupid app too. Good music is needed, nothing more. The best thing about a certain age and mature is that you don't have to follow all stupid trends. A grown-up is above those things. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 15:54) this is a reply to message 104,680

We need an uptempo song (104,680) by Will from England To that I say look up Adele's response to the record company suggesting she should do a song for the TikTok audience. Mariah's older songs go viral on that app without pandering to them, so I don't think this is something she should focus on. She's happier maing music that she likes/wants to make, and if it goes viral, so be it. (Wednesday 27 December 2023; 11:55)

Last Christmas number one (104,638) by MusicfanJ from Germany I heard that "Last Christmas" is number one in the UK. I always loved it. It's played a lot here in Germany. I grew up with this Christmas song. Anyway I wish you all Merry Christmas. I hope you have joyful and peaceful days. (Sunday 24 December 2023; 15:07)

Lil Snowman (104,599) by MusicfanJ from Germany I really like this one, I know no comparison to her other [Christmas] songs. But I think it's really fun and I like that "Run Run Rudolph" Rock and Roll vibe. "Christmas time is in the air again" is my favourite right now. So classy and dreamy. "When [Christmas] comes" is another favourite. What are your actual [Christmas] favourites? (Wednesday 20 December 2023; 15:26)

Obsessed in the UK (104,597) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes I love it too. Just like the video, I loved both immediately. But homehow some people here expected something different by Mariah. I also think it's a typical up-tempo Mariah. They are always great. (Tuesday 19 December 2023; 17:12) this is a reply to message 104,587

Obsessed in the UK (104,587) by Zachariah from Croatia I adore [It's like that]. I think it should go at number one and I think it is a typical Mariah upbeat song as a first single of an album, like Honey for Butterfly, like Heartbreaker for Rainbow. (Monday 18 December 2023; 20:58)

Obsessed in the UK (104,584) by MusicfanJ from Germany That could be one reason. Plus "Obsessed" is so untypical for a Mariah single. I remember when "It's like that" came out, a lot of friends told me it didn't sound like a Mariah song. With "We belong together" they were fine. (Monday 18 December 2023; 13:42) this is a reply to message 104,577

Obsessed in the UK (104,577) by Zachariah from Croatia I think usage of auto tune throw people away from loving it to the fullest. Plus the remix with Gucci Mane was just the same song with extra male verse. (Sunday 17 December 2023; 22:19)

Article: Mariah Carey stops by Library of Congress (104,575) by MusicfanJ from Germany Lol I didn't think of it that way. But when I was in the first grade in 91 my teacher had the mentioned ensemble. She was the principal and even as a kid I always noticed her elegant outfit. Anyway the ensemble really suits Mariah. MC the principal. (Sunday 17 December 2023; 14:36) this is a reply to message 104,568

Article: Mariah Carey stops by Library of Congress (104,568) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC was emulating what a teacher would wear. The two piece dress suit was a popular ensemble for teachers back in the late 80s and early 90s. (Sunday 17 December 2023; 00:29)

Article: Mariah Carey stops by Library of Congress (104,574) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, absolutely beautiful. I always love a classy and more natural look. (Sunday 17 December 2023; 14:27) this is a reply to message 104,567

Article: Mariah Carey stops by Library of Congress (104,567) by Stacey from USA I kinda wish she'd dress like this all the time. (Saturday 16 December 2023; 23:20)

Mimi send Brenda flowers (104,470) by MusicfanJ from Germany This is so sweet. (Friday 8 December 2023; 13:15) this is a reply to message 104,455

Mimi send Brenda flowers (104,455) by jaker20 from US That just goes to show what kind of hear Mariah has. She is all about the spirit of the season. (Thursday 7 December 2023; 21:18)

Number one (104,390) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm happy for Brenda too. What a cool lady. The new video is cute. (Monday 4 December 2023; 14:37) this is a reply to message 104,386

Number one (104,386) by Tameka walker from United states If Mariah doesn't make it to number one this week I am sure that it will be number one before Christmas. I love Mariah and I love her Christmas song and I hope it hits number one before Christmas. Brenda's song is nice too. If they can share for instance one be number one one week and then the other the next it doesn't take anything away from Mariah. She can't be number one forever. And I realize that. Here's to Mariah and Brenda. (Monday 4 December 2023; 02:44)

Rockin' Around (104,388) by MusicfanJ from Germany I have seen so many versions of "If it's over", maybe I have it on my laptop. But I'm too lazy to check it. The background of the performance and the video somehow seemed "new" to me, so it's okay if you're all shocked. But I remember East 17 with "Stay another day" and "It's alright" they were huge in the good old Bundesrepublik Deutschland too. The good 90ies, I miss them. They were so much better compared to today not only chartwise. And we could go carefree to Christmas markets, I'm depressed because what's going on here since 2015. I'll stop it here and say something nice. It's snowing right now. It looks like a winter wonderland. I saw the new video with Brenda in a morning show. It was nice. Mariah and Brenda could do a Rockabilly Christmas song together. Would be fun. We have a Justin Bieber version, why not something with Brenda Lee? (Monday 4 December 2023; 14:27) this is a reply to message 104,381

Rockin' Around (104,381) by Andrew from the UK Yuh-huh. "Rockin Around the Christmes Tree" I might call a "cute little ditty". I know it from Home Alone and wasn't exactly enthralled by it then. It's no "I Love Sausage Rolls". Doesn't even come close to that masterpiece. Thought it might be fun for non-Brits to watch the video for "Stay Another Day" by East 17: this is the song that, 29 years ago, kept Mariah from being the UK Christmas No.1 (I cried). Check out the masterpiece music video. Considering it's a song about suicide, again "I Love Sausage Rolls" it isn't. Which ought to feature a warning that it might make you want to commit suicide. MusicFanJ is given a free pass for the (shocking) oversight of never having seen Mariah sing "If It's Over" at the Grammys, for, I believe, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" also reached Number 2 at Christmas in 1994 in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Y'know, back when charts were quite simple and meant something and not full of ridiculous calculations that you'd need a doctorate to understand win an entire album of tracks from one artist comprising an entire top 10. I'd feel old saying that. But I still look young and beautiful. (Sunday 3 December 2023; 20:45)

Emotions formula (104,380) by MusicfanJ from Germany No, certainly not. Lol I know almost all her live gigs, but not all. I'm happy that I missed some, so I can enjoy it now. I'm sure I know some gigs and interviews she did in Germany, France, Italy and UK which you don't know as well. (Sunday 3 December 2023; 20:28) this is a reply to message 104,376

Emotions formula (104,376) by Edward from USA Have you been living under a rock? As an old time fan you should know about this performance. I'm hereby stripping you from your lamb status. Now you're just a regular fan. You'll regain you lamb status when you start purchasing and streaming AIWFCIY until it reaches number one again. (Sunday 3 December 2023; 19:56)

If Mariah likes it, then I like it (104,378) by MusicfanJ from Germany I have a huge Stevie collection too. I started to listen because he's Mariah's favourite. His number ones are often played on the radio, so I knew I liked his music. "That girl" and Mariah, that's cool. By the way great topic. I also own the movies "Pretty in Pink" and "Mean Girls" because of Mariah. Plus I have many things about New York and books. This year I even have an NY advent calendar (gift from a friend). One more thing, I also have great admiration for Marilyn Monroe. And I bought Tupacs best of CD, because Mariah is a "fan". (Sunday 3 December 2023; 20:14) this is a reply to message 104,357

If Mariah likes it, then I like it (104,357) by Robert-Anthony from United States She has always praised Stevie Wonder. I have a huge Stevie Wonder collection. Everytime that I hear That Girl, I think of MC. (Sunday 3 December 2023; 12:55)

Emotions formula (104,373) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love "If it's over". One of her best ballads and we know she has so many. But I didn't know this live performance. Wow just wow. Mariah at her best. That's the reason why she's the one and only Mariah Carey. (Sunday 3 December 2023; 19:41) this is a reply to message 104,356

Emotions formula (104,356) by Jamie from UK Exactly Andrew, such a weak song, no emotion, no soul, no body. (Sunday 3 December 2023; 12:55)

Christmas songs (early bird special) (104,354) by MusicfanJ from Germany Hi Tevin, thanks for your suggested songs by Taylor. I liked them all but "Dear John" is my favourite. I always say I want a jazz album by Mariah which I still do. I think Mariah could also do some country, gospel and retro-soul. She can sing every genre like she never did something else. That's rare. (Sunday 3 December 2023; 10:29) this is a reply to message 104,161

Christmas songs (early bird special) (104,161) by Tevin from USA Dear John, Back to December and Enchanted are three beautiful songs from Taylor's album Speak Now. Give them a listen. It's no Butterfly album but she does have a decent pen game, even if it slightly sub par to Mariah's. Anyway let me know how you like those three songs, they are what made me a Taylor fan. (Wednesday 22 November 2023; 03:51)

Emotions formula (104,332) by MusicfanJ from Germany So true. My my mother has the "original" debut vinyl from 90, she bought it right after hearing the phenomenal "Vision of love". I didn't know she had her debut. But when I became a fan with Daydream, she told me she loved "Vision of love". She also loves Sade, I have my musical taste from her. (Saturday 2 December 2023; 15:17) this is a reply to message 104,322

Emotions formula (104,322) by Stacey from USA I think MC could have recorded the phone book for her debut album and been successful. Her voice was so amazing and so unheard of at the time. She truly is a once in a generation artist. (Saturday 2 December 2023; 06:56)

Would you rather (104,311) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, it may be only business. But I still believe he isn't the nice guy everyone thinks he is. I always liked the other Nysnc [sic] members more. Lol. One thing is sure Justin was always very clever in his entertainment business. I have a feeling that "Yours" won't be released soon. We'll see if Mariah surprises us. (Friday 1 December 2023; 10:43) this is a reply to message 104,304

Would you rather (104,304) by Edward from USA Why would Justin record a song with Mariah if he wasn't interested in getting it released? It doesn't make any sense. The song was [not] included on Charmbracelet simply because his label didn't want to. I think they were thinking business. (Thursday 30 November 2023; 17:24)

Would you rather (104,300) by MusicfanJ from Germany There was a documentary about the nipplegate with Janet Jackson. And Justin didn't go well on the docu. That "Yours" with him as a duet wasn't released because he feared about his "good name" and career says it all. He's the real slim shady. Lol. (Thursday 30 November 2023; 14:16) this is a reply to message 104,287

Would you rather (104,287) by Jamie from UK Unlike Britney who also did the dirty on him with Wade Robson. I like Justin and I like Britney. I don't care what they get up to in their personal lives. No one is perfect. (Wednesday 29 November 2023; 23:37)

Would you rather (104,299) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I can't stand Justin Timberlake. He always played the nice guy, but he really seems like a bad snake. So "Yours" without him is fine. "There for me" is a beautiful song. Should have been a bonus track on Glitter. (Thursday 30 November 2023; 14:02) this is a reply to message 104,282

Would you rather (104,282) by Libra Lamb from USA I agree with most of these tracks except I don't care to hear Justin Timberlake or want Mariah associating with him. He's a snake and has done some shady ish towards women. I can't stand people like him, a true culture vulture. There For Me has always been one of my favorites and I include it in my Glitter soundtrack playlist. (Wednesday 29 November 2023; 22:29)

Would you rather (104,275) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I want both too. A new album and Rarities 2. It's been such a long time. (Wednesday 29 November 2023; 10:29) this is a reply to message 104,267

Would you rather (104,267) by Norman from USA Why not both? Imagine? I'd love it. (Tuesday 28 November 2023; 20:12)

Grio Award (104,247) by MusicfanJ from Germany Congratulations. What a speech, I really felt it. Bravo Mariah. By the way, was there Dwanye Johnson in the audience? Sweet smile for Mariah. When Mariah said: music belongs to her soul. And Mariah's music belongs to my soul too. (Monday 27 November 2023; 15:57) this is a reply to message 104,239

Griot Award (104,239) by Geronimo from USA Congratulations to Mariah for the Griot [sic] Award. It is so refreshing to see her in her element. Jennifer Hudson's tribute was an event to itself as it should be. (Sunday 26 November 2023; 22:05)

Grio performances (104,246) by MusicfanJ from Germany I've always loved her speaking alto voice. So cool and "sexy". I could listen for hours, just Mariah talking. Lol. Her speaking voice is calming to me. (Monday 27 November 2023; 15:35) this is a reply to message 104,240

Grio performances (104,240) by Robert-Anthony from United States Her natural alto voice is shining through more when she speaks. Her voice reminds me of her 90s interviews. I think that a vocal coach or Mary Ann told her to limit her intake of alcohol this summer and see how your vocal range returns. It was evidence on most of Caution. I am anticipating that we will get more of her alto range with heavier tones and less belting on the new album. (Monday 27 November 2023; 00:04)
