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

Butterfly (102,086) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, should have been a number one. It was played a lot at MTV and even on the radio it was "received very well". I still have it on cassette from 97 "my rnb mixtape" self recorded from radio. The older I get the more I value Butterfly and its lyrics. It's really a masterpiece, epic song.

Butterfly (102,084) by BFF from United States "Butterfly" is one of the best ballads she ever wrote. I wish Sony had commercially released it. I think it could have gone to #1 easily on the strength of the ballad version as well as "Fly Away (Butterfly Reprise)". (Monday 16 January 2023; 15:57)

Butterfly (102,071) by MusicfanJ from Germany This song is still so brilliant. By the first listen in 97 I loved this song. I think it's beside "Hero" Mariah's hymn. An emotional ballad, poetic lyrics and a beautiful, classy video. We all know that Mariah described her new free life with it and the tough relationship with Tommy. But for me the song can also be about friendship, changes, dreams and life in general. Today the people won't get a song like this again. In 97 the music and the artists from many genres were really awesome. Music will always be a mirror of the times. I miss those days. (Saturday 14 January 2023; 17:20)

Primary custody (102,063) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's true. But I'm sure if they didn't want to, they are not forced like other "poor" kids. If I had a famous mum I would have tried to be on stage, at least one time just for fun. (Thursday 12 January 2023; 17:49) this is a reply to message 102,058

Primary custody (102,058) by TJ from Norway But it's also not normal to bring the kids on stage. Just saying. (Thursday 12 January 2023; 16:07)

Primary custody (102,056) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, but it's understandable for Mariah to take this step. I don't know about the US law but here Mariah would easily get the primary custody. I mean with six different mothers, we call that antisocial here. Sorry, but it's the truth. And maybe Nick won't stop and there will be a another woman with a child from him. Definitely not a normal situation for children. So I hope Mariah is getting the custody. (Thursday 12 January 2023; 14:06) this is a reply to message 102,054

Primary custody (102,054) by Robert-Anthony from United States Things are about get really difficult for MC seeking primary custody. Nick is going to fight it all the way. (Thursday 12 January 2023; 11:44)

Camouflage (102,042) by MusicfanJ from Germany I always had a bad feeling about Nick. When the press started to show the pics of the "so in love" couple on the beach (just after E=MC2 release), I thought if Mariah is happy with that man, everything is fine. But that bad feeling stayed. He was not known here and still isn't very known in Germany. But anyway, what it turned out is a real nightmare. Eminem may be a clown, but Mr. Cannon is worse. I wish they would have never met. But at least Mariah has sweet kids. I hope Bryan (also young), is a true soul. He seems very kind with a good heart. (Monday 9 January 2023; 17:53) this is a reply to message 102,041

Camouflage (102,041) by "MariahHater" from Hell I totally agree. I listened to this when I was a teen, then listened to it know [sic] as an adult hits differently. There is truly more to Mariah than what we see. I'm not a psychiateist [sic] or what but maybe her current behaviour is her defense mechanism to protect whatever personal to her. Who the hell's husband tells the world that his wife gives the worst mouth jobs? (Monday 9 January 2023; 03:46)

Rolling Stone's 200 Greatest Singers (102,040) by MusicfanJ from Germany I also forgot Gladys Knight, beside of Mariah my favourite female singer. And Tina Turner belongs there too. So it's obvious, I can't decide to make a list with a top ten. Just my favourites. (Sunday 8 January 2023; 16:26) this is a reply to message 102,032

Rolling Stone's 200 Greatest Singers (102,032) by MusicfanJ from Germany I forgot Barbra Streisand. She's great too. (Wednesday 4 January 2023; 21:32)

Rolling Stone's 200 Greatest Singers (102,029) by MusicfanJ from Germany Good list, mine would be: Female singers: 1. Aretha Franklin 2. Mariah Carey 3. Whitney Houston 4. Ella Fitzgerald 5. Etta James 6. Donna Summer 7. Billie Holiday 8. Celine Dion 9. Brenda Lee 10. Janis Joplin (I know her music may not be for everyone's ears, but she really could sing the blues) 10 Male singers: 1. Stevie Wonder 2. Otis Redding 3. Marvin Gaye 4. Michael Jackson 5. Prince 6. Bill Withers 7. Sam Cooke 8. Teddy Pendergrass 9. George Michael 10. Lionel Richie (Wednesday 4 January 2023; 17:04)

Rolling Stone's 200 Greatest Singers (102,025) by BFF from United States These are the singers that come to mind for me. 10 Female singers: 1. Aretha Franklin 2. Linda Ronstadt 3. Donna Summer 4. Whitney Houston 5. Mariah Carey 6. Celine Dion 7. Wynonna Judd 8. Etta James 9. Bonnie Raitt 10. Carrie Underwood 10 Male singers: 1. Marvin Gaye 2. Seal 3. Bruce Springsteen 4. Luther Vandross 5.

Rolling Stone's 200 Greatest Singers (102,028) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, Céline should be at number 8. I even read on the german Yahoo site today that the people don't understand the list (that Celine Dion is missing). It's a big mistake. (Wednesday 4 January 2023; 16:46) this is a reply to message 102,026

Rolling Stone's 200 Greatest Singers (102,026) by Terna from Nigeria Celine Dion should actually replace that number 8 Beyonce occupies, It's kinda [laughable] how they always try to have Beyonce sit among the greats and she just does not belong. Notable singers were missing, like was Dionne Warwick even there on the list? (Wednesday 4 January 2023; 15:43)

Rolling Stone's 200 Greatest Singers (102,006) by MusicfanJ from Germany Here the same. Donna Summer at #122, that's ridiculous and so wrong. She belongs to the top ten. Yes at least the top 5 is filled with the best of the best. Sam Cooke is a great choice. But Elvis should be higher than Beyoncé. The same with Prince. (Monday 2 January 2023; 19:01) this is a reply to message 102,003

Rolling Stone's 200 Greatest Singers (102,003) by BFF from United States I can't take this list seriously with Beyonce at #8 but Linda Ronstadt at #47 and Donna Summer at #122. Are you kidding me? (Monday 2 January 2023; 16:04)

Cheers to 2023 (101,990) by MusicfanJ from Germany So true. I will always love the 90ies because I grew up at that time and discovered the one and only Mariah. I wish you all a happy and healthy new year. (Saturday 31 December 2022; 19:52) this is a reply to message 101,989

Cheers to 2023 (101,989) by Billy from Greece Lovely post. Same for me. Happy 2023. (Saturday 31 December 2022; 19:13)

90th week atop (101,976) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow, congrats to the one and only MC. She really has broken every record one can break. On a side note: I was looking at the new Instagram pics, Mariah with Bryan and the kids. And I thought that look is so "Daydream Mariah". I love it. It's classy and beautiful. It really looks like 96. She has the sweetest smile, she really seems to enjoy the holidays. Something that makes me happy to see. All I want as a lifetime fan is a happy, healthy Mariah. (Wednesday 28 December 2022; 14:12)

Miss you most at Christmas time (101,943) by MusicfanJ from Germany AIWFCIY is everywhere right now. And I still love it. But "Miss you most at Christmas time" is just as wonderful. Just the opposite moodwise. I love this song so much and it belongs to Christmas too. Pure Mariah, pure magic. "Every other season comes a long and I'm all right, but then I miss you most at Christmas time" so true. The video is pretty too. Just beautiful Mariah, nothing more. (Friday 23 December 2022; 14:57)

Merry Christmas from Croatia (101,942) by MusicfanJ from Germany Merry Christmas to you and all the fans/lambily of Mariah worldwide. I hope you can all enjoy the holidays. It's been a tough year (again) and I'm happy for Mariah's wonderful music. Her music will always heal and makes someone feel good. I enjoy to read all your opinions and expericenes here on this board. Thanks to the webmaster. Merry Christmas. (Friday 23 December 2022; 14:48) this is a reply to message 101,940

Merry Christmas from Croatia (101,940) by Norman from USA And a Merry Christmas to you, too. (Thursday 22 December 2022; 18:29)

Whoopi Goldberg mocks Mariah (101,900) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, that title suits her better. Don''t get me wrong, I love "AIWFIY" and her Christmas songs. But what really made her outstanding are songs like "Vision of love", "Everything fades away", "Without you", of course the whole Emotions, Daydream and Butterfly album. Plus debut and Music Box. The voice on the first ten years, the lyrics, the emotion makes her the "Queen of Music" forever. There will never be someone like Mariah. (Monday 19 December 2022; 18:11) this is a reply to message 101,898

Whoopi Goldberg mocks Mariah (101,898) by Carlos from Brazil Darlene Love can have that poor and shitty "Queen of Christmas" title. I've always tought Mariah was much more that to anyone. She is the "Queen of Music". Nothing less. (Monday 19 December 2022; 17:01)

Why is everyone surprised? (101,858) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes. I had to stop watching the clip. Too painful to watch. It looks like Mariah wants to sing and "deliver" but she just can't. And she knows it. Whatever the reasons are, it's so sad. She really seems struggling. Someone should take care of her as a human being not just manage the star. (Friday 16 December 2022; 18:36) this is a reply to message 101,856

Why is everyone surprised? (101,856) by Jamie from UK I think even Mariah looked disappointed in this clip. (Friday 16 December 2022; 16:57)

Mariah duet with Monroe (101,781) by MusicfanJ from Germany So sweet. They looked like two angels. What a nice surprise on stage. They sound beautiful together. It really warms the heart. Thanks for posting it. (Sunday 11 December 2022; 12:36) this is a reply to message 101,772

Mariah duet with Monroe (101,772) by Edward from USA Mariah and Monroe had a cute duet on her Christmas Show. I think Monroe can sing. (Saturday 10 December 2022; 17:53)

This board (101,731) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, the 90ies were too good to be true. But they were. Luckily the memories will stay forever. 80ies and 90ies, that feeling that was going on, maybe youngsters will never understand. Every "outdated" movie and music from that time is a thousand times better than most of the trash today. It was original, with heart and soul and really fun to have witnessed it. (Sunday 4 December 2022; 18:32) this is a reply to message 101,729

This board (101,729) by Jamie from UK Oh girl the 90's was da bomb. Shame you missed out. (Sunday 4 December 2022; 01:40)

W photo shoot (101,695) by MusicfanJ from Germany She's looks really stunning and beautiful. Of course I love the black photo that reminds me of the Daydream shoot. But the other is fantastic too. Classy pics are always a winner. It shows the pure beauty. (Monday 28 November 2022; 16:40) this is a reply to message 101,689

W photo shoot (101,689) by Randy from USA Y'all always say I'm negative. I'm gonna say something positive. She looks absolutely stunning in that W spread. Perfection. (Sunday 27 November 2022; 19:23)

Macy's performance (101,676) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Thank God I saw her in 1996 on the Daydream tour when she was actually a competent and capable singer." That time was simlpy magic on stage. Almost unreal. There's a reason 95 and 96 was Mariah mania around the world. I remember she had one concert in Germany, it was immediately sold out. If I had a time machine, I would choose that date to be part of the audience. You are really lucky to have witnessed her live during her Daydream tour. (Friday 25 November 2022; 19:03) this is a reply to message 101,673

Macy's performance (101,673) by Bill from the UK Who'd have thought MC would lip sync. Colour me stunned. You're looking at $150-200 for one ticket to the Christmas concert. Plus travel and hotel if you're not based in New York. If you want to pay that much to watch her lip sync, get her hair and make up fixed on stage, bemoan the lighting, stick a finger in her ear, ramble on about her ensemble, drink champagne, and bark out an off key "EH" every so often, that's your prerogative. Thank God I saw her in 1996 on the Daydream tour when she was actually a competent and capable singer. (Friday 25 November 2022; 15:19)

QOC (101,644) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes. I think it's okay when people call her "Queen of Christmas". But it's no brandmark. I love Christmas and Mariah's Christmas songs, but less is more. I don't need cookies and all the other stuff. I'm happy with the classic "MC album", MC II", the deluxe edition and The Star soundtrack. (Wednesday 16 November 2022; 20:26) this is a reply to message 101,640

QOC (101,640) by Bill from the UK I disagree. It was ridiculous and nothing but a money grab. She can be called it (and will be) but she has no business owning the rights to it. Absolutely abhorrent. (Wednesday 16 November 2022; 16:21)

Appreciation for "Bring on the Heartache" [sic] (101,613) by MusicfanJ from Germany Absolutely. The song is outstanding. It sticks out from "Chatmbracelet". For me a surprising but still classic Mariah song at it's best. I always say I need a Mariah jazz album (still do) but I would also take a "80ies style rock album". Mariah's look and tribute to "The Rose" were wonderful. She looks so pretty with Boho-style. (Wednesday 9 November 2022; 13:56) this is a reply to message 101,611

Appreciation for "Bring on the Heartache" [sic] (101,611) by Matty from Vancouver Canada This cover (Bring on the Heartache [sic]) needs way more love then it ever gets. The interpretation of this song, the video, the cloths, style and head scarf, the build up, the full belts, the whistle note, the electric guitar. This is what Rock-Riah looks and sounds like. I feel like it gets lost in the mix (no pun intended, Mix-ish) for some reason. What if this was the lead single from Charmbracelet instead of TTR?. This song makes a statement, and gives me all the tingles and feels. I’d love if Mariah did an ‘80’s style rock album like this. Give us raspy, give us pain, give us Boho fashion and the big hair dahling. (Tuesday 8 November 2022; 19:20)

Who should play Mariah on her biopic series? (101,596) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh it's from 2018. I never heard anything of it. Thanks for the info. I need to watch this. The documentary style looks good. (Friday 4 November 2022; 13:48) this is a reply to message 101,595

Who should play Mariah on her biopic series? (101,595) by bliss! from Brazil It's that kind of documentary where there are parts dramatized by actors. I think they call it "docudrama"? Anyway, it used to be on YouTube, but now I can't find it. You can read more info on IMDB. It has a better score than Glitter, lol. 6,8 is not bad at all. (Friday 4 November 2022; 00:09)

Who should play Mariah on her biopic series? (101,593) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow, this lady would be perfect to play Mariah. Totally looks like her. I love biopics, I hope the project will come to life. (Thursday 3 November 2022; 19:43) this is a reply to message 101,589

Who should play Mariah on her biopic series? (101,589) by bliss! from Brazil Mariah is seeking a lead actress to play her in a series inspired by her memoir "The Meaning of Mariah Carey". According to her, she doesn't care if the actress can sing, she just wants a talented actress. Do you guys have any suggestions? PS: I would also like to point out that the doppelganger who played her in the Lifetime movie (Mariah: The Diva, the Demons, the Drama) really looked like her and could be a body double or something lol. You can find her on Instagram by the alias @Mariahlookalike and her name is Jessica Castro. An image of her as Mariah at the beginning of her career. (Thursday 3 November 2022; 16:04)

Nick Cannon (101,558) by MusicfanJ from Germany Absolutely. It's totally embarassing. Poor Mariah, poor kids. Unbelievable. (Thursday 27 October 2022; 13:09) this is a reply to message 101,555

Nick Cannon (101,555) by Robert-Anthony from United States No way. That man needs to stop. No wonder MC has lost her voice. She is probably embarrassed for Roc and Roe. (Thursday 27 October 2022; 00:22)
