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

New music? (107,675) by MusicfanJ from Germany Absolutely. It's the same with the "home alone" movie. I saw it 1990 in cinema as a little kid and I still love it. It's a classic. Mariah's AIWFCIY is another classic during the Christmas season forever. No matter to which number it climbs on the charts. It's music history.

New music? (107,668) by Stacey from USA I was listening to AIWFCIY on the way home from work today and I had that very thought. It means nothing to me if the song's popularity changes each year. For a song to hit #1 25 years after its release, to increase in popularity as it gets older, cements its status as a once in a generation song. You can't think of Christmas without including the Christmas Song, without including White Christmas and yes without including AIWFCIY, especially when you add to the fact MC wrote the song. Timeless. (Tuesday 19 November 2024; 02:27)

MC's happy (107,603) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oops, the first emoji is wrong. Of course it has to be a smiley. (Tuesday 5 November 2024; 18:58) this is a reply to message 107,602

MC's happy (107,602) by MusicfanJ from Germany I noticed it too. It's wonderful to see that she's "back" with that inner glow. After all the hard months it makes me happy to see her happy again. (Tuesday 5 November 2024; 13:48)

MC's happy (107,601) by Shezz from Pk She definitely is. You can see the life back in her face - no more Stepford wife-esque. I have a feeling her energy will be back this Christmas tour. No idea if her previous demeanor was medical or emotionally based or both but either way she’s definitely getting her groove back. Robert Anthony make some predictions. Sorry I just read your message now. You already have made your predictions. (Tuesday 5 November 2024; 11:00)

It's time (107,578) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's so cool. Mariah as Morticia, I love it. What a great it's time clip. It's fun to watch. Mariah and her team really did it again. (Friday 1 November 2024; 14:30) this is a reply to message 107,576

It's time (107,576) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's amazing. I absolutely loved it. The Addam's Family reference, her dressed as Morticia all iconic. She's truly outdone herself. Whoever came up with the concept is a genius. I also loved that Gomez Addams turned into a snowman during the Christmas transition. It looks like she had great budget this year and last to make really high quality videos for "it's time". I hope she has the same when it comes to her next singles. To think we went from homemade phone videos for It's Time to this, I'm super happy. (Friday 1 November 2024; 12:37)

Grunge/Rock album (107,577) by MusicfanJ from Germany I wondered too. I have no idea what she means with "trying" to release. (Friday 1 November 2024; 14:14) this is a reply to message 107,568

Grunge/Rock album (107,568) by Shezz from Pk Why does she keep saying she's "trying to get it out but doesn't know how"? Seems like there's more to it. First she told us she was collaborating with a younger artist on it (why does she need anyone on it we want to hear her voice on those songs?). Robert Anthony you want to chime in? You always have an interesting hopeful take with your Mariah theories. (Friday 1 November 2024; 02:16)

The new interview (107,566) by MusicfanJ from Germany That was really a good interview. It was nice to read. Best one since a long time. I also think "Miss you (most at Christmas time)" is one of the saddest. It's another classic and should get more attention. I love this song so much. Her answer with Happy Xmas (War is Over) is how I always feel too. I guess every human with a heart gets emotionally with it. I also can't wait for the alternative rock release. And the new album of course. I wish Mariah would get another Grammy, she doesn't need it, but it's so overdue. Maybe with the rock or jazz album. But for now I'm excited for the upcoming BBC special. (Thursday 31 October 2024; 14:07)

MC 30 media blitz (107,565) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh that's good news. I recognized the new style of dressing too. It looks wonderful on her. I will wait a bit with the Christmas music. But if the mood is right, MC will be played endlessly for the Christmas season. Just like every year. (Thursday 31 October 2024; 13:32) this is a reply to message 107,557

MC 30 media blitz (107,557) by Shezz from Pk Mariah is taking the MC30 promotion very seriously I'm so happy. According to MariahNow Brazil's instagram she will make a major holiday announcement on 31st October with Melissa Forman at 8:20am on LiteFm 93.9. On the LiteFm website it says she will kick off the holiday music with them on November 1st with a special message. MariahNow also says she's recorded a Christmas special with BBC for UK and they have a beautiful new picture of her from the upcoming LA times shoot I hope this link I've attched works. Anyone else noticed Mariah dressing more "demure and mindful" since the last couple of months (Mimi L. that was for you). Ps. I started my Mariah Christmas music already this morning. Anybody else? (Wednesday 30 October 2024; 17:13)

Drew Barrymore Show (107,556) by MusicfanJ from Germany The people here still watch more TV than Netflix and co. I saw it on the evening news on TV yesterday. But the attention span is really not the best by some youngsters. Anyway I'm excited for her "It's time" video too and hopefully some good surprises for Mariah's favorite season. (Wednesday 30 October 2024; 14:19) this is a reply to message 107,554

Drew Barrymore Show (107,554) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think it's for easier accessibility and the chance for it to go viral. Not a lot of people really watch TV anymore and attention span of the newer generation is short haha. (Tuesday 29 October 2024; 17:31)

Someone's Ugly Daughter (107,523) by MusicfanJ from Germany I can't wait too. It's really special that Mariah recorded that type of music while she was on top and broke every record. The "Daydream princess" was rocking. I hope we will here something from the hidden songs soon. (Friday 18 October 2024; 13:32) this is a reply to message 107,521

Someone's Ugly Daughter (107,521) by Geronimo from USA I cannot wait to hear this album. The opportunity to hear what was really giving her life while she was recording top 40 safe-bets intrigues me - especially the "jokes" she has in store. (Friday 18 October 2024; 03:05)

Merry Christmas 30 (107,495) by MusicfanJ from Germany I agree. It looks too artificial for me as well. Who created the second pic? The original pic of the album is so beautiful. One of her best covers. The album Merry Christmas II is a nice tribute. Anyway it's unbelievable it's been 30 years. (Thursday 10 October 2024; 14:37) this is a reply to message 107,493

Merry Christmas 30 (107,493) by Jamie from UK I'm not on X but glad they altered the eyes. I can't believe they allowed that mistake. Yeah I agree they should have been done in a more natural setting like before. These are far too photoshopped for me. (Thursday 10 October 2024; 11:01)

Simple and classic (107,477) by MusicfanJ from Germany It was really enjoyable. She looked stunning (I love classic Mariah meets Hollywood diva and Charmbracelet) plus she sounded really good and prepared. That's all a longtime fan heart wants to see. The stage with the big M and the band was also fantastic. (Tuesday 8 October 2024; 17:15) this is a reply to message 107,471

Simple and classic (107,471) by Libra Lamb from USA I really enjoyed this performance. The audience went crazy and showed her respect and lots of love. She should be very happy and proud with what she did. (Monday 7 October 2024; 20:04)

Reflections (Care Enough) (107,426) by MusicfanJ from Germany I always thought the same. A beautiful ballad but somehow it doesn't sound typical Mariah. I love that song though. (Saturday 28 September 2024; 19:34) this is a reply to message 107,424

Reflections (Care Enough) (107,424) by Robert-Anthony from United States There is something different how MC executed this gem on the Gliitter soundtrack. It just doesn't seem like a typical Mariah Carey ballad. (Saturday 28 September 2024; 01:55)

Brazil concert (107,413) by MusicfanJ from Germany I experiecend the exact same thing during the Charmbracelet tour. To see Mariah for the very first time live in person, it was totally surreal. I will also never forget. Mariah looks wonderful with the Brazil dress. Thanks for posting your concert experience. I love when Mariah travels around the world to give her global fanbase a chance to see her in concert. (Thursday 26 September 2024; 16:12) this is a reply to message 107,399

Brazil concert (107,399) by Carlos from Brazil It was absolutly a surreal experience. I felt like I was leaving my body. I've been a fan for 20 years so to see her in person was a life changing moment. I felt like she was like really real. Her voice is so pretty, her songwriting is awesome and she is one of the prettiest women ever. The Brazilian outfit and the butterfly dress is now iconic. I went to the São Paulo concert and it was as amazing as the Rock in Rio show, even better. Her Portuguese is cute. She came back for the IWKWLI without her shoes haha. 50k people singing with her. It was the happiest day of my life. (Tuesday 24 September 2024; 17:58)

Mariah not socialising with the industry (107,377) by MusicfanJ from Germany Ah okay, thanks for the info. Yes, Mariah was the biggest star with Daydream, plus Tommy, so she was safe compared to new ones or wannabes. I don't remember that part in the book. I need to read it again. I think Tommy was right to protect her, the controlling was too much of course. But which husband would let a pretty young woman alone with rappers or a man with a bad image? (Friday 20 September 2024; 20:53) this is a reply to message 107,376

Mariah not socialising with the industry (107,376) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That is actually not true, there are many photos of Mariah with Diddy post the 90s. Especially around TEOM era they were photographed together a lot including him being on stage with her at one of the TAOM shows. She had also shared in The Meaning of Mariah how Tommy had racist comments about Diddy when Diddy was new and how she defended his artistry when she was asked about it during some kind of gathering. All this doesn't mean she knew what he did and turned a blind eye, she very well could have had a very different experience with him where he wouldn't dare mess with her during the 90s due to Tommy and him being new and after that she was a bigger star than him. So it could be due to her having a different sort of experience with him she didn't know but it's not true that she cut him off after the 90s. A quick Google search will show many photos. [WebmasterL For example, see: Diddy made guest strip naked] (Friday 20 September 2024; 17:16)

Mariah not socialising with the industry (107,375) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's true. I also believe because Mariah is a smart woman, she decided to stay away from him after 98. Plus the male diva thing is nothing Mariah would tolerate more than once. (Friday 20 September 2024; 17:01) this is a reply to message 107,374

Mariah not socialising with the industry (107,374) by Tevin from USA I also find it quite interesting (in a good way), that despite Mariah's heavy involvement in the Hip-hop community, after 97-98, you never see her hanging out with Diddy anymore, or doing anymore collaborations (wasn't he being a diva during the Honey remix video?). Something tells me that she may have noticed how he was, or was becoming, and she decided to steer clear. (Friday 20 September 2024; 15:19)

Mariah not socialising with the industry (107,371) by MusicfanJ from Germany I don't know. I wondered too. All I can say is that I'm so disgusted about Sean Combs. I used to listen to his music/hits as a teen in the 90ies until 2002. I never thought that he is such a monster like R. Kelly. I was too young and naive. I can't listen to some songs anymore. The "bad boy for life" comes to my mind. Sick people (the rappers) who think just because they have money and some fame they can do what they want. (Friday 20 September 2024; 13:43) this is a reply to message 107,368

Mariah not socialising with the industry (107,368) by Junaid from United Kingdom With the current scandal, involving a certain someone she worked with on 2 songs from the [Butterfly] and 1 remix from the [Daydream] era, aren't you relieved that Mariah never went to all the parties? (Friday 20 September 2024; 08:08)

China (107,350) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow, beautiful pics from the [Great Wall] in China. She looks fantastic. I didn't expect new pics so soon. The joke with the heels, typical MC. Haha. (Sunday 15 September 2024; 10:24) this is a reply to message 107,347

Complex relationship (107,347) by Robert-Anthony from United States She looks gorgeous and happier now. (Saturday 14 September 2024; 04:02)

Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica) (107,316) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love it too. I also like the original song. A great sample for a Mariah song. It has this good summer vibe. The three Mariah's were cool. Almost all Glitter songs are underrated. The album is like a musical surprise bag. (Thursday 5 September 2024; 14:38) this is a reply to message 107,314

Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica) (107,314) by Billy from Greece Do you guys remember this one? I feel it's Mariah's most forgotten single. I love the video. I remember being super excited when I first saw it, you know, the three Mariahs and all. Of course, Glitter vocals take it to another level. Yet, at the same time I feel like no one knows about this one. (Thursday 5 September 2024; 08:56)

Mariah's mom and sister both died on same day (107,276) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh, this is really sad. Both on the same day. I don't know what to say, I feel so sorry for Mariah. I hope she has good people around her who are are just there if she needs them. (Tuesday 27 August 2024; 19:35) this is a reply to message 107,273

Mariah's mom and sister both died on same day (107,273) by jaker20 from US This is very sad. I'm glad Mariah had spent some time with her mom before she passed. Condolences to her and her family. (Tuesday 27 August 2024; 18:03)

What's the deal, Do You Know (107,246) by MusicfanJ from Germany I like it too. It's a beautiful little song. I remember how happy I was with this bonus on "The ones" CD back then. It was perfect for the end of the album. (Monday 26 August 2024; 13:33) this is a reply to message 107,243

What's the deal, Do You Know (107,243) by Shezz from Pk It's a beautiful cover. What's wrong with it now? (Monday 26 August 2024; 04:34)

Twister (107,232) by MusicfanJ from Germany Last night I had to think of "Twister". It just came to my mind, I don't know why. I haven't listened to it for a long time. This song is very special. The end of it, still heavenly and classic Mariah. (Thursday 22 August 2024; 18:24)

Live duet versions (107,204) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's such a beautiful song. I would also love a live album with duets and the best live performances. With songs like "You and I", "My All/Remix" at Pavarotti & Friends, "Bringin' on the heartbreak" the incredible version from the Charmbracelet Tour and many more. I want it all. (Tuesday 13 August 2024; 19:38) this is a reply to message 107,202

Live duet versions (107,202) by Zachariah from Croatia Every week I listen to "With You I'm Born Again" that she sang with John Legend. What pleasure is that for my ears. I wish she would release an album of those live collaborations with other artists or spontaneous performances that were filmed and put on YouTube. (Tuesday 13 August 2024; 12:57)

Article: Mariah Carey worries fans after "crying" on stage (107,199) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, she seemed much happier with Bryan Tanaka. Sometimes I look at his Instagram, he doesn't post much lately. The last one is 4 or 5 month ago and his look was very thoughtful. They always seemed so happy together. (Monday 12 August 2024; 09:17) this is a reply to message 107,194

Article: Mariah Carey worries fans after "crying" on stage (107,194) by Robert-Anthony from United States Do you think MC is just lonely? I bet she misses being attached to a man. When you don't have a significant other to dine out or cook or shop with, it can cause a feeling of loneliness. After breaking up with Tanaka, it is probably the longest time she hasn't had a significant other in her life. We have to admit she appeared much happier when she was with Tanaka. Her interviews were good. She smiled more when out in public with Tanaka. MC just geniunely seemed to happier 2 years ago. Now she seems to be so sad and disconnected from the audience, her band, and her singers on a stage she commanded with confidence 2 years ago. I am no Dr. Phil by all means. Just my opinion from my own experience. (Sunday 11 August 2024; 22:47)

Christmas shows (107,185) by MusicfanJ from Germany That is sad to hear Joachim. I hope you feel better soon. Mariah is really a source of power. (Sunday 11 August 2024; 13:11) this is a reply to message 107,177

Christmas shows (107,177) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I attended the Charmbracelet tour in London in 2003 right before Halloween, and this year I'm actually planning on going back and see her Christmas shows I'm currently hospitalized for depression with previous suicidal thoughts for the second time since 2009. If it hadn't been for my mobile phone and YouTube and the existence of Mariah Carey, I wouldn't have survived. I have to thank Mariah again for saving my life, thank you Mariah. (Saturday 10 August 2024; 19:38)

Taylor Swift concerts cancelled (107,167) by MusicfanJ from Germany The same here. I listen every day to my local radio station that plays the 70ies, 80ies and 90ies as well. The clone music is almost hurting my ears and boring. Lol. (Friday 9 August 2024; 13:24) this is a reply to message 107,163

Taylor Swift concerts cancelled (107,163) by Stacey from USA Yes. Clones. That perfectly describes the music scene today. No distinct sounds. I listen to a local radio station that plays hits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. What a diverse listening experience. (Friday 9 August 2024; 03:01)
