About Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands: Mariah fan since 1993.

Queen of Christmas (112,510) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley and Aretha Franklin never tried to trademark those titles. That's the difference. If Mariah was allowed to trademark the phrase "queen of Christmas", then nobody could use that phrase anymore. She deserved all the backlash she got.

Queen of Christmas (112,499) by Dove from United States You're probably right but it would need to be trademarked for the movie I have in my head. On a side note: Why was it okay for Michael Jackson to be the King of Pop and for Elvis to be the King of Rock and Roll and Aretha to be the Queen of Soul? I feel like there's a lot of jealousy geared towards Mariah. I feel like that's part of the reason she doesn't have as many awards as she should. (Tuesday 25 November 2025; 03:23)

Name as a brand (112,488) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Marilyn Monroe's likeness is licensed through her estate, which is owned by Authentic Brands Group (ABG). Her name is used as a brand name for a wide variety of products and collaborations, including cosmetics, apparel, and accessories from different companies, such as the makeup line born from Stefano Cigana and collaborations with brands like DIFF Eyewear and Max Factor.

Name as a brand (112,487) by Dove from United States Maybe she should ask Shaquille O''Neal about how they use Marilyn Monroe's name for everything. One Christmas my mom got me some underwear that were "Marilyn Monroe" since she knows I like her. The only thing "Marilyn Monroe" about the underwear was the label because how would anyone know what kind of underwear she wore? One of them was cheetah print, one was black transparent with some lace, and the third was nude colored. I mean I guess she could have worn underwear like that but I know my mom bought them for the picture of Marilyn Monroe on the label. If it had any other label they wouldn't have been as special, I think. (Monday 24 November 2025; 15:34)

Don't take it political (112,287) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I think enough has now been said about the new "It's Time" video and the political backlash it's generating. This discussion gets out of hand, resulting in swearing and other unwanted behavior. That's why I've decided to stop posting on this topic. (Thursday 6 November 2025; 21:06)

Immobile on stage (112,023) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands If performing causes so much pain that she can hardly move, why is she still performing? Does she need the money? I thought she had enough money to retire. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 12:39) this is a reply to message 112,021

Immobile on stage (112,021) by Lambi from USA Well, we can all see with our own two eyes that she is suffering from some sort of disease. She's clearly in pain but she's sticking it out. So yeah, just the mere fact that she's still showing up is commendable. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 12:23)

Wow (112,001) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I feel sorry for you that you're a conspiracy theorist. Maybe you should seek professional help. But this is a Mariah messageboard, not a platform for conspiracy theorists. So messages about conspiracies will not be posted anymore.

Wow (112,000) by Lambi from USA Here in America people have awaken to the fact that the term "conspiracy theory" was introduced to the lexicon right after JFK was assassinated. They shot a sitting president on broad daylight and then launched operation mocking bird meaning the CIA hiring a bunch of journalists to control public perception and gaslight the citizens about what happened. (Monday 20 October 2025; 10:30)

Wow (111,999) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Here in the Netherlands we have a special word for people who believe in conspiracy theories, and it's not really a flattering word. There are websites about how to deal with conspiracy theorists. One example is this one. (Monday 20 October 2025; 09:55) this is a reply to message 111,994

Wow (111,994) by Lambi from USA Reality is MJ's estate was magically stolen from him via fake signature right before his passing, which by the way, him and Mariah happen to be in the same music label. Thank you for proving my point about how shady these companies can be. If you still can't connect the dots in this day of age, where it's not a secret evil runs Hollywood, where celebrities are openly talking about their experiences because you are scared for the life of you, to be labeled silly little names then you are simply behind. And I can't help that. Have a chill day, Bill. (Monday 20 October 2025; 03:09)

Here For It All (111,871) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands In its second week, Here For It All drops 180 spots to number 187 on Billboard's Hot 200. (Wednesday 15 October 2025; 00:16) this is a reply to message 111,801

Here For It All (111,801) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands According to HitsDailyDouble, the album is out of the top 50 in its second week. (Saturday 11 October 2025; 01:26)

Here For It All (111,801) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands According to HitsDailyDouble, the album is out of the top 50 in its second week. (Saturday 11 October 2025; 01:26)

Jesus I Do (111,794) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Not true. In the last 20 years, they had 7 hits. Here are the stats: 2007: "Blessed & Highly Favored (Live)" #1 2007: "Livin'" #2 2007: "You Brought the Sunshine (Live)" #11 2015: "Dance" (3 Winans Brothers featuring the Clark Sisters) #7 2017: "Hey Devil!" (CeCe Winans featuring the Clark Sisters) #22 2019: "Victory" #6 2020: "His Love" (featuring Snoop Dogg) #11 Is it so hard to do some research before making false claims? (Friday 10 October 2025; 15:16) this is a reply to message 111,793

Jesus I Do (111,793) by Chicago Lamb from USA I really Love this song. I'm hoping the label pushes it at Gospel Radio. Reportedly it's The Clark Sisters' first song to chart in 20 years. Dare I dream of a Grammy performance for the song? (Friday 10 October 2025; 15:07)

New video (111,534) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands It surprises me that no one is talking about Mariah's new video. Maybe because it's boring as hell? (Saturday 27 September 2025; 01:37)

iTunes (111,505) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands According to Kworb, Mariah's new album is at number 1 in Brazil, Denmark, India, Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, and South-Africa. In the USA, she's at number 3 and in the UK at number 4. (Friday 26 September 2025; 12:58) this is a reply to message 111,504

iTunes UK (111,504) by Jamie from UK Mariah is sitting at number 1 on UK iTunes. (Friday 26 September 2025; 12:46)

Andrew from the UK (111,496) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Andrew was not really a gentleman and that's why he is banned for life. (Friday 26 September 2025; 09:48) this is a reply to message 111,486

Andrew from the UK (111,486) by Reuben Walton from United States Is he still on this board? I used to be active on here like the better part of a decade ago and I remember a gentleman named Andrew was also active on here and he had the distinction of slating and despising pretty much everything MC made post Butterfly and I'd just be curious to know if he still holds that position. It's also quite possible that he has long since jumped ship. (Friday 26 September 2025; 07:26)

Year end record? (110,889) by TJ from Norway I do believe you will hit the number one spot this year. I truly believe that. (Tuesday 2 September 2025; 12:07)

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,316) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I don't know if you're being sarcastic or ignorant. (Monday 4 August 2025; 15:53) this is a reply to message 110,315

Random thoughts about aging and beauty (110,315) by Zachariah from Croatia How do you know that she had work done? Because, for example, I can (like others as well) see that Demi indeed had work done. With Mariah - I can't see that. Please explain. (Monday 4 August 2025; 15:49)

Article: The making of Mariah Carey (110,147) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands This is the kind of looks I want to see from Mariah. I love it. (Tuesday 29 July 2025; 02:12)

Jimmy Kimmel (110,040) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I don't want to be rude, but with her breasts popping out she looked like a hooker. (Friday 25 July 2025; 13:04) this is a reply to message 110,035

Jimmy Kimmel (110,035) by Jamie from UK I didn't feel Mariah was looking her best on Jimmy Kimmel, she looked a bit cheap and not glamorous. Just my opinion. I've seen her looking better. I think it was the hair and earrings made her look a bit street. (Friday 25 July 2025; 11:50)

Webmaster request (109,991) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "Folks just need to stop feeling like it's their duty to set others straight, to reprimand." I don't think this is a diss, but something you keep doing over and over again. Maybe you should stop doing this and everybody will be happy and move on. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 11:19) this is a reply to message 109,990

Webmaster request (109,990) by Lambi from USA I'm glad you noticed. There's a reason for that insult. "Folks just need to stop feeling like it's their duty to set others straight, to reprimand" is direct hit on me from Stacey. Then she pretends to be well-meaning right after the diss. The one you're defending actually engages on pretending to be a saint, so it turns out you actually got fooled. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 11:14)

Vision of Love (109,732) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Are you sure? According to several sources, Vision of Love was part of the original demo tape. (Monday 14 July 2025; 16:31) this is a reply to message 109,731

Unpopular opinions (109,731) by Bill from the UK Vision of Love was written after she signed to CBS in celebration of that momentous event. It was a thank you to the good Lord above for getting her to that place. So it didn't exist at the point Clive was sniffing around. (Monday 14 July 2025; 16:24)

Unpopular opinions (109,668) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I'm glad Did I Do That gets the love it deserves. It's the best song on Rainbow and Rainbow is my favorite album. My all time favorite song is Everything Fades Away, second is Do You Think of Me. (Thursday 10 July 2025; 14:24) this is a reply to message 109,667

Unpopular opinions (109,667) by Dove from United States 1.) Boy (I need you) has grown on me over the years. 2.) I'm not super optimistic about MC16 being a success. (But I'm pretty sure I'll personally enjoy it.) 3.) I think she should drop Hero and We Belong Together from performances like the Summertime Ball and instead do album tracks that should have been hits. 4.) I know Touch My Body is super popular but I don't really like it. My young coworker (born in '99) asked me to make her a MC playlist. A few months later she came back and reported she only liked Fantasy, Honey, and Touch my Body. 5.) I really like Did I Do That? I think it's catchy and kinda funny. (Thursday 10 July 2025; 13:54)

Fantasy vs. Honey (109,636) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands According to Wikipedia, Fantasy was a much bigger hit. It is certified 6x Platinum, while Honey is only certified 2x Platinum. Also sales in other countries were much much higher for Fantasy. (Saturday 5 July 2025; 19:26) this is a reply to message 109,635

Fantasy vs. Honey (109,635) by Bobby A from United States Which one was a bigger radio and sales hit? I ask the question because I feel Fantasy was because it was the first time a sample made an original song like Genius of Love popular among younger listeners in 1995. Secondly, Nostradomus on X posted today that the second single is a pop/club combination with traces of hip hop and funk. Isn't that what Fantasy was for Daydream? (Saturday 5 July 2025; 19:14)

I love Beauty School Drop Out (109,610) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands There is already a song on the soundtrack of Grease with that title. (Friday 4 July 2025; 16:47) this is a reply to message 109,609

I love Beauty School Drop Out (109,609) by Dove from United States I know you were joking, but I love Beauty School Drop Out as an album title. (Friday 4 July 2025; 16:44)

Unboxing and review of TEOM (109,093) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands You can watch an unboxing and review of the 20th anniversary editions of Mariah Carey's The Emancipation Of Mimi here. (Friday 6 June 2025; 12:06)

One Heart, One Voice (108,863) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I don't think Walter sings, so I have no idea if their voices blend in together well. (Monday 26 May 2025; 09:49) this is a reply to message 108,862

One Heart, One Voice (108,862) by Edward from USA "One Heart, One Voice" will be released on June 27. What do guys think it will be like? Could Walter and Mariah bring their magic back with a decent well written song? Will their voices blend in together well? Thoughts. (Monday 26 May 2025; 03:37)

New Mariah album (108,719) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands "The world wants a new Mariah Carey album right now." Why do you think that? I hear or read that nowhere. The world thinks Mariah is only relevant during Christmas. (Wednesday 14 May 2025; 10:08) this is a reply to message 108,717

Shenzhen concert (108,717) by Bobby A from United States MC should just drop MC16 without a first single. Just drop the album after an announcement 10 minutes before midnight. Let social media drive digital sales for the two weeks and then begin a normal Mariah promotional blitz. It would work because the world wants a new Mariah Carey album right now. (Wednesday 14 May 2025; 05:04)

Did I click on the JLo message board? (108,389) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Very pathetic to insult other fans on this messageboard, just because you don't agree with their views. Me too misses the old, down to earth Mariah. So all these insults are also directed at me. (Friday 21 March 2025; 02:52) this is a reply to message 108,386

Did I click on the JLo message board? (108,386) by Tonish from Australia Wow, I really could not believe what I was reading in these messages on this message board. [censored] Mariah fans picking Mariah apart with a fine tooth comb, trying to compare her to what she was in the 90's, trying to make Mariah the image you want her to be or think what she should be. [censored] I find it really sad that you feel that Mariah has to be perfect [censored] or that her speech wasn't as good as you wanted it to be. Mariah has accomplished more in her life than 99.9% of people on this planet, she doesn't need to satisfy all your [censored] issues as well. I remember coming to this message board all the time and remember how good and fun it was to chat with the fans and checking out the discography (I see that's gone), Eric (if you still run this site) what happened? [censored] And before you [censored] fans come at me with "I'm just being honest and saying what I think", yeah well sometimes you're unwanted opinion just makes you look like a [censored]. And also no, don't try give me that "I've been a fan since" rubbish either, before you consider yourself a fan, google what the word fanatic means. [censored] (Friday 21 March 2025; 01:42)
