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

Re: Collaborations (100,445) (100,450) by MusicfanJ from Germany I 100 % agree with everything you said Terna. Love your post. "Caution", while being a very good record, was vocally not a "Mariah Carey" album. This is so true as well. A Mariah Carey record is something different. "Caution" is fun and nice to listen to but her trademark was missing. MC could do a "Butterfly Part two" with real musicians and real back-up singers, if she wants to. Even if she hasn't the voice from her power years anymore, she is still Mariah Carey and can create magic with music and lyrics. An album with RnB, Jazz elements, Retro Soul and yes a fun Pop song would be a great mixture. She is a legend because of the power voice songs and the typical Mariah melodies. She was already a legend at age 26, that's very special and unique. MC is unique on every way and I mean that only positive. Everyone can work with a "hot" producer but no one can do a Mariah Carey album. She's on another league. That's why a lot of people have high expectations' on her. Yes, she broke all records and can do only songs with JD or 5 songs with new rappers, but she could also release a new masterpiece. (Wednesday 15 June 2022; 13:51)

Re: Why I want another #1 (100,362) (100,369) by MusicfanJ from Germany "While she was still sexy and classy, but before her over the top Diva kicked in." I totally agree with it. Everyone loved her, not just the fans. During "Butterfly" she was still classy while sexy. When "Rainbow" came out she was always funny and sweet during interviews and her touring around the world. I think the public opinion really changed after "Glitter" and while the beginning of the 00 years. Mariah was always a diva, but in the 90ies it was somehow different. She was so mysterious (in a positive way) so powerful and her voice was out of this world. She seemed so carefree and happy. The people love the natural Mariah. We have enough entertainers in the world (good and bad) but only one Mariah. If she focuses on her talent she could write another hit. But it can't be forced. Not with streams or a new rapper. It must happen naturally. (Tuesday 31 May 2022; 12:18)

Re: Why Hotlanta (100,279) (100,281) by MusicfanJ from Germany Haha, thanks for the laugh. Yeah we know who this is. (Friday 13 May 2022; 14:25)

Article: Debbie Gibson fangirls over Mariah Carey (100,239) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's a nice story. 80ies pop is always fun, just feel-good music. I recently discovered "the Midnight" and I thought Mariah could do one song whith synthi-pop beats. ("Blinding Lights" by the Weekend was cool.) Of course Jazz is still my dream genre for Mariah. But one feel-good song would be nice. Luckily we have Glitter with the 80ies sound. She was so ahead of the time. (Tuesday 3 May 2022; 16:27)

Re: Did Mariah actually write The Roof (100,226) (100,227) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I meant the lyrics. Thanks for your information. YouTube should list the complete list of poducers and writers you posted. I really wish I could go back in time too right now. (Friday 29 April 2022; 10:14)

Re: Did Mariah actually write The Roof (100,224) (100,225) by MusicfanJ from Germany "The Roof" was written only by Mariah herself. That's what the booklet of her album says. Hmm but I don't know why there's no information about that in the streams. I'm retro. (Thursday 28 April 2022; 19:19)

Re: The voice (100,215) (100,216) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oops, of course I meant "I only wanted" instead of "After Tonight". It's because I love all the three "latin ballads" (My All, After Tonight and I Only Wanted). (Tuesday 26 April 2022; 19:33)

Re: The voice (100,214) (100,215) by MusicfanJ from Germany Her vocals on "After Tonight", "Subtle Invitation" and "Bringin' on the heartbreak" are fantastic. I love them. But I also understand that a lot of her fans didn't like Charmbracelet at first listen. I enjoyed it and still do. "Lullaby" is so cool. The Charmbracelet lyrics are great too. The concert was a real dream come true, I still wish it was available on DVD. (Tuesday 26 April 2022; 14:26)

Re: The Roof (When I Feel the Need) (100,160) (100,175) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm surprised on a positive way. I was a bit "afraid" (if a new version of "The Roof" is needed) because the original is one of my all time favorites from MC. But it really works fine, it has a new vibe, but not too much. I love the violin arrangement. And Brandy did great on the backgrounds. Although I thought we would hear more of her too. All thumbs up for this new version. (Friday 15 April 2022; 18:37)

Re: Big big fantasy (100,054) (100,058) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Is it just me or does this sound like a Fantasy remix featuring Latto?" No I thought the same. "Fantasy" is such a stand-out song, one of the best Pop-RnB songs ever. The sample from "Genius of love" was genius by Mariah. What she did with "Fantasy", it's just perfect from beginning to end. The same with the ODB remix. So no matter which new rapper or singer will choose to use Mariah's song, it will always sound good because the original is one of the best. "Fantasy" is and always will be pure Mariah. (Wednesday 30 March 2022; 16:35)

Re: Happy Birthday Mariah (99,999) (100,003) by MusicfanJ from Germany Happy Birthday Mariah. I hope you have a wonderful day with your beloved ones. I wish you the best from my heart. Health and happiness to the one and only Miss Mariah Carey. I'll celebrate the day with "The rarities" and the "Anytime you need a friend" live version from Tokyo. Cheers. (Sunday 27 March 2022; 15:43)

Re: So much for my dream (99,993) (100,002) by MusicfanJ from Germany I have to say that I love her "old" remixes like Honey, Fantasy, The Roof and especially the "I still believe/pure imagination" remix and many others. That was a time were all remixes were great and sounded new (the House remixes and the Hip-Hop versions). (Sunday 27 March 2022; 15:23)

Re: So much for my dream (99,986) (99,988) by MusicfanJ from Germany The same here. I've never heard of this 23 year old rapper, but just no. I'm so tired of rappers. Real RnB, Soul, and yes Jazz would by my biggest dream. But you're right Randy, maybe in 20 years. Lol. (Saturday 26 March 2022; 18:33)

Re: Any news (99,975) (99,976) by MusicfanJ from Germany Good titles, but we all know the new album will be called "Eternally 12". I like the title "Butterfly lounge" for the anniversary edition. Sounds very relaxed. For the new album I'm for a short title. They were always the best. (Thursday 24 March 2022; 19:15)

Re: Stella (99,905) (99,906) by MusicfanJ from Germany I thought the same. It's not the first of April yet. (Sunday 13 March 2022; 11:49)

Re: Hero (99,854) (99,856) by MusicfanJ from Germany That song is still so beautiful. We fans may have listen to it too much but I still love "Hero" as well. It's one of her signature songs and the reason why she has become one of the best selling female artists in the 90ies and a global superstar. As cool as songs like "Babydoll" or others are but the non-fans will always say that "Hero" is pure Mariah. I have heard from so many people that they like or even love "Hero" because of the lyrics and the way it was sung by Mariah. I will never get tired of it, especially the live versions and yes it was always a highlight when I saw her at a concert. (Sunday 6 March 2022; 19:36)

Re: Hey Lambs? (99,784) (99,788) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Ultimate music video library on digital (1990-present)." That would be awesome. I wanted to post something similar with the war in Europe right now, I know it's a music site here, but I still can't believe what happend just two hours away by the air. Corona is finally going away, and now the sad news. I was hopeful for 2022, but that changed quickly. I have no words. (Saturday 26 February 2022; 18:23)

Re: Favourite ending (99,779) (99,786) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's easy: "Everything fades away", the whole outro with the last 30 seconds is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Wowowo it only fades away, it only fades away, baby don't tell me. Heavenly. (Saturday 26 February 2022; 17:44)

Don't play that song for me (99,785) by MusicfanJ from Germany This song needs to be on the Rarities part two. How I wish she would record a pure soul or jazz album. Music with real background singers and musicians (not just beats) are missing. I always loved the Price Sisters and Melonie Daniels, they were truly the best and made Mariah's music even more magical. (Saturday 26 February 2022; 17:38)

Re: Tommy the racist (99,758) (99,759) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, he's everything you mentioned but certainly no racist. He wanted big music sales with Mariah and that was what happened. He didn't want her to party and all that stuff. If Mariah would have wanted to party with white rock stars , Tommy wouldn't "allow" that too. Her career was everything he was concentrating on. And that worked very well. Mariah and Tommy are the best and sad example for never mixing business and private life. I always wonder if they hadn't married, how had it changed the "story"? (Tuesday 22 February 2022; 19:50)

Re: Nick Cannon (99,614) (99,619) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm pretty sure they are all superficial and just like a "Barbie Doll" but clever enough to know they will get money for life by the celebrity clown Nick Cannon. They are all disgusting. I'm sorry for Mariah and Roc and Monroe. Rich kids, but when they get older, they will have a lot of questions and that won't be easy for them. I ask myself if this is a revenge from "Mr Cannon" or if he's really that dumb and careless. (Thursday 3 February 2022; 14:48)

Re: My All (99,514) (99,519) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, what a song. It's pure Mariah at her best. I'll always like Mr. Jeter just because he insprired Mariah to write and sing those wonderful songs. (Monday 24 January 2022; 16:32)

Re: Through The Rain/AYNAF (99,465) (99,471) by MusicfanJ from Germany I miss those songs too Terna. Yeah, the last true pop ballad. I remember non-fans (most friends of mine) really liked "Through the Rain". The video was a little hit at that time. It was played and wished by many people at music television. Everyone was happy for her, that she's back after the "Glitter disaster" with a typical Mariah song with lyrics people can relate to. (Tuesday 18 January 2022; 19:52)

Re: Minimum make up (99,443) (99,446) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I also love the natural look on her. Very pretty. "Hotel Transilvania" is such a funny animated movie series by the way. It's good to see MC is having some fun. Mr. Dracula looks cool too. (Sunday 16 January 2022; 21:10)

Re: The Christmas Princess (99,411) (99,419) by MusicfanJ from Germany I thougt exactly the same. A little bit strange. Christmas is over. The commercial has a really bad timing. I hope we will hear something new without a Christmas theme next time. (Thursday 13 January 2022; 18:34)
