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

Re: We're Not Making Love Anymore (99,402) (99,404) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mariah during that time was unstoppable. So I believe the duet with Michael Bolton would have been a number one too. Good old days. (Sunday 9 January 2022; 17:42)

Re: Last really good vocalist (99,382) (99,383) by MusicfanJ from Germany So true, really a legue of their own. Kelly Clarkson is defintely a powerhouse with her voice. I forgot Leona Lewis. Her debut has a "Mariah sound". (Thursday 6 January 2022; 19:14)

Re: Last really good vocalist (99,376) (99,377) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Is it because that image is more important than talent these days?" Yes, I think so. "Or [were] we just very lucky, the ones who are live today, to have witness three extraordinary vocalists like those three." That's also true. We (the y-generation) hit the jackpot musically. As sh.. as the times are today, so is the music. Sorry but that's what comes to mind. The last good vocalist, that's a good question. I would choose Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys when they started, and well a big suprise: Adele. But there's no more "new Mariah" on the horizon and I guess never will. So we are very lucky to have witnessed all the true superstars like Whitney, Michael, Celine and the one only Miss Mariah Carey. (Wednesday 5 January 2022; 16:26)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey's annual Christmas cash in ends (99,350) (99,351) by MusicfanJ from Germany The person who wrote the article may be a little Grinch but he's not wrong. As much as I love MC's Christmas songs, it's time for something new. A Jazz album. Happy New Year everyone. Stay save and sound. (Sunday 2 January 2022; 14:03)

Article: Merry Christmas from Hollywood (99,295) by MusicfanJ from Germany Voila the new pics are really sweet. Love the pyjama Christmas pics. Mariah with the dress in the snow is beautiful as well. It looks like "old Hollywood" classy with divastyle. Thumbs up. (Sunday 26 December 2021; 15:15)

Re: Why the ugly clothes? (99,292) (99,294) by MusicfanJ from Germany Totally agree, that look was everything. First Lady of music, love that title. Very true. She looked like a supermodel, princess and a superstar with charism that outshined every other woman. Just like a sweet, sweet fantasy. (Sunday 26 December 2021; 15:04)

Re: Why the ugly clothes? (99,290) (99,293) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, she doesn't need to show. The whole world knows she's ultimate rich. If she wears classy clothes, or casual, she looks phenomenal and the best. I love all the "regular girl" outfits and of course the classy ones. The red snowsuit on "AIWFCIY" is so sweet and beautiful on her. The "trendy, expensive clothes aren't flattering at all". These are often for nouveau riche. Mariah is a natural beauty, she should know less is more. Merry Christmas everyone. (Sunday 26 December 2021; 14:52)

Re: Latest Instagram post (99,275) (99,276) by MusicfanJ from Germany I thought the same. I hope I'm wrong but I also have a feeling that she's not "in a good place". I really wish to see her happy, confident, grown-up and carefree again. These are hard times for everyone. It's tough to stay optimistic. But one must try. (Friday 24 December 2021; 13:21)

Re: Sides: right vs. left (99,263) (99,268) by MusicfanJ from Germany Every human being has a side that looks better, even if the face is very symmetrical. That's normal. But no one talks about it as much as Mariah does. Lol. I will never understand how Mariah can be so insecure. In the 90ies Mariah was looking like a super model, even in jeans and flannel shirts. So beautiful, no one has seen a "bad" side. (Wednesday 22 December 2021; 20:21)

Re: Where Are You Christmas? (99,243) (99,244) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's such a beautiful song. I always here [sic] Mariah instead of Faith on my mind. Faith Hill did great with MC's demo. I really hope we could hear Mariah's version from that time. Can't believe it's been 22 years. I remember I went to the cinema (Grinch) and liked the song immediately. (Tuesday 21 December 2021; 13:49)

Re: Mariah's voice (99,198) (99,200) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes to think about it, also makes sense. Very sad. I think that's one reason why she loves Marilyn Monroe so much. There are paralles with them. And no money and fame can heal a broken or "wounded" heart/soul. I really hope she finds true happiness and will never be exploited again. (Friday 17 December 2021; 17:30)

Re: Her voice back (99,190) (99,192) by MusicfanJ from Germany "I will just cherish her first four albums for showcasing her in prime vocal state. She was the vocal queen back in the early 90s." Yes, the same here. I will always cherish her. Her voice during the 90ies was out of this world. There will never be a voice like hers again. Songs from her first albums still bring me to tears because she really touches the heart. It's an experience to listen to her first recordings and always will be. I also love "Daydream", "Glitter" and "Charmbracelet". I'm still waiting for a jazz-album, there's no need for autotune. Mariah could surprise everyone with it. (Thursday 16 December 2021; 19:47)

Re: Change (99,189) (99,191) by MusicfanJ from Germany "If she had slowed down between '97 and '99, I think Mariah would've saved her voice." That's what I believe as well. All the touring, concerts around the world, too much for her sensitive voice. Plus she was on every tv-show during the time. Mariah was powering non-stop to show the music world she's the one even without Tommy. That's a drama. (Thursday 16 December 2021; 19:22)

Re: Change (99,165) (99,173) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's really a good theory. Sounds very logical. If you think about the reason that MC felt like a prisoner, while finally "free", it all started as you mentioned. (Wednesday 15 December 2021; 10:38)

Re: Change (99,162) (99,172) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's very smart from Miss Streisand. I will never understand how a natural beauty like Mariah could risk and loose her voice because of things that were not necessary. I mean if you have the best voice in the world how can you risk it? Of course every day tea sounds boring, and I don't think sometimes a good glass of wine would be super bad for a voice. But smoke and surgery just no. But yes, it is what it is. Sadly. (Wednesday 15 December 2021; 10:24)

Re: Uncertainty (99,126) (99,134) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yeah, I hope so too. The songs from "Butterfly" are so perfect, there should never be a "new arranged version" of these wonderful songs. I'm waiting for new music, not "new" versions of "The Roof". Please not. (Monday 13 December 2021; 14:43)

Re: Me thinking again (99,051) (99,054) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Those lyrics and productions must improve dramatically." I hope so too. I don't expect 90ies quality as well, luckily we can listen to those magic songs over and over again. But real musicians would make a big difference indeed. Not only a "cool" producer. One can dream. (Monday 6 December 2021; 18:12)

Who's loving you / debut era (99,049) by MusicfanJ from Germany Have you heard this? I think it's just a rehearsal by Mariah and her fabulous background singers at that time. Sounds like year 90. I love it. All her background singers were so great too. They sounded more natural and soulful than Khalil on the new Christmas song. (Monday 6 December 2021; 13:58)

Re: Probably no likes (99,011) (99,012) by MusicfanJ from Germany Robert-Anthony you read my mind. I swear I just bought the CD Traveller last week, because I'm addicted to the soulful "Tennessee Whiskey". And just yesterday I was thinking the same. How would it sound if they had a duet song together. Music for "grown-ups" with great lyrics and soul. Mariah and Chris, yes, yes, yes. (Sunday 28 November 2021; 11:35)

Re: Joy to the world (Celebration Remix) (99,009) (99,010) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh I mixed it up. Thanks for the info. And you can really listen to it all year long. (Saturday 27 November 2021; 22:12)

Joy to the world (Celebration Remix) (99,006) by MusicfanJ from Germany One of her best remixes. And we all know she has many. I also love the video, so much fun. C&C remixes were all so good. (Saturday 27 November 2021; 17:50)

Re: St John The Devine (98,985) (98,990) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Remembering how natural she used to be, both vocally and in herself." Absolutely, that's the Mariah you could only love. Nobody could compare with her at that time. I will listen to the concert too. What a night at that church in NY. I miss the natural, carefree Mariah. Luckily we can watch it over and over again. Honestly I'm not in a Christmas mood right now (not because it's early, but because of the difficult time) but when I see Mariah at St. John The Devine, it does something to the heart. It's pure joy for the eyes and ears. MC at her best. (Tuesday 23 November 2021; 19:45)

Re: Mariah McDonald's (98,918) (98,932) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mariah and McDonald's, hmm I wouldn't choose it. Her 90ies commercials were cool, I love the japan commercials with the lipstick and Nescafé. Haha. Today it's too much with all that commercials for my taste. (Friday 12 November 2021; 15:39)

Re: FILAC (98,843) (98,849) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, the first part of the song reminds me of "My All", "After Tonight" too. I enjoy that part after the first listen, but I think at 3:35 minutes it sounds like another song, that's a bit strange. A pop Christmas song and gospel at the end doesn't fit well together. A Christmas song for the radio/streaming and a gospel song for the fans would fit better. But I'm happy to hear something new. (Friday 5 November 2021; 16:58)

Re: Fall in love at Christmas time (98,822) (98,823) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh this is a nice surprise. New music. Sounds promising. Tonight I had dream about Mariah that she would release a new cd called "Kiss" lol. And today there is the news about this new song. Fantastic. Only 4 more days. (Tuesday 2 November 2021; 13:30)
