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

Re: Mariah's best disses (90,911) (90,913) by MusicfanJ from Germany GTFO: Nobody has ever sung "get the f##k out" in such a sweet and gentle voice. So true, only Mariah can make it sound so sweet and gentle. I like your list. How could I forget "OUMF"? That's another pow moment from Mariah. (Friday 27 September 2019; 16:02)

Re: Mariah's best disses (90,907) (90,910) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love "Clown" and the lyrics. My favorite "don't mess with MC" song. Followed by: 2. Obsessed (I'm a press conference, you're conversation) almost legendary haha 3. Did I do that 4. Standing O (I love when she sings "cheers, toast, bravo, you're the man of the hour, am I send you some flowers" lol) 5. Thirsty Mariah is really good at writing such type of songs. And most people think she can "only" write romantic love songs. They are so wrong. (Friday 27 September 2019; 12:33)

Re: Merry Christmas deluxe (90,873) (90,875) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Somebody is paying attention to what the fans want." Oh yes, great news. That's a wonderful gift for birthdays and Christmas. And of course for celebration for that classic and one of the best Christmas albums of all time. (Monday 23 September 2019; 18:08)

Re: In the mix (90,849) (90,856) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love it by the first listen. Didn't expect that. What a funky song. Reminds me a bit of "Fantasy" and "Glitter". It has the happy sounding I was missing since a while. What a nice surprise from Mariah. (Thursday 19 September 2019; 10:19)

Re: Sorry guys (90,816) (90,821) by MusicfanJ from Germany Great list. I love "old school" MC too. The same with "To the floor". (Sunday 15 September 2019; 14:15)

Re: Defending Glitter (90,783) (90,786) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Putting Crapfinity at the end of a collection of her #1's was the worst decision ever. I didn't buy the album because of that." That was exactly the reason why I didn't buy the cd too. But I'm really happy with "The Ones" [sic] from 99 and "The Greatest Hits". Her next compilation should be with some rare songs, remixes and duets like many of you mentioned. It would be just great and something worth the money. (Wednesday 11 September 2019; 10:39)

Re: It's not just Glitter (90,772) (90,777) by MusicfanJ from Germany I enjoyed Glitter back then. I saw it two times in cinema in 2001. It was fun and I have the DVD and I like to watch it because of the phenomenal soundtrack and the setting of the 80ies. But the movie is not like "Chicago" or "The Artist" for example. I think Mariah was pretty good in "Wise Girls". I also like the role in "Tennessee". But it's clear that MC's true talent is music and not acting. And that's fine. (Tuesday 10 September 2019; 14:23)

Re: Mariah and Ellen (90,756) (90,757) by MusicfanJ from Germany I don't know if Ellen has a "problem" with Mariah. Maybe yes, maybe no. She's definitely tired of her when MC doesn't want to answer. But as someone mentioned it's Mariah Carey. On the other side, I never understood why Ellen is so popular in the US on TV. (Thursday 5 September 2019; 11:01)

Re: Videos (90,716) (90,719) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I love "Butterfly" but can't stand "I don't". Best videos: 1: Honey 2. The roof 3. My All 4. Bringin' on the heartbreak 5. I still believe 6. Fantasy ILT, WBT and "Can't let go" are also beautiful. And "Touch my body" is hilarious. Worst/leased liked: 1. I don't 2. Obsessed 3. Infinity 4. I'll be loving you long time 5. GTFO (sorry I know a lot of you like it) (Saturday 31 August 2019; 18:07)

Re: Heartbreaker question (90,700) (90,701) by MusicfanJ from Germany No, when I watch it now I find it childish too. But back then I was childish too and it did suit perfect at that bubble-gum pop time in 99. But it's still a good one. It's just fun. (Thursday 29 August 2019; 19:39)

Re: Bizarre campaigns (90,681) (90,682) by MusicfanJ from Germany Haha it's really funny. I only saw Mariah running at the short clip from the "Fresh Air Fund" where she's running with the kids. (Saturday 24 August 2019; 14:06)

Re: Article: The 25 best singers-turned-actors (90,662) (90,663) by MusicfanJ from Germany Completely agree. But J.Lo is actually a dancer. Lol. I mean she started in the Janet Jackson video as a dancer. The list seems like a joke. (Tuesday 20 August 2019; 21:38)

Re: Article: The 25 best singers-turned-actors (90,657) (90,658) by MusicfanJ from Germany Will Smith at 22 really? One number behind Justin Timberlake. A very strange list. Cher, Will Smith and Barbra Streisand are top 5. (Tuesday 20 August 2019; 11:28)

Re: "Against All Odds" with Westlife / video (90,649) (90,651) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes I love that look too. So natural and beautiful. For me that's the "real" Mariah. (Saturday 17 August 2019; 19:04)

Re: Played on the radio (90,647) (90,650) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Hero", "ABMB", Without you" and "We belong together" gets played quite a lot too. Followed by "Against all odds" and "IWTKWLI". On the urban radio stations you can also hear some remixes and "newer" songs. On Christmas the radio plays "AIWFCIY" endlessly plus almost every single from "MC". From "MC II" they often play "Oh Santa" and "One Child". (Saturday 17 August 2019; 19:02)

Re: Chart manipulation (90,631) (90,637) by MusicfanJ from Germany I don't know the price from the US market but in Germany all her singles were at regular prices when they were released. The same with the albums, definitely not cheap. (Friday 16 August 2019; 17:11)

Re: MC's tone (90,629) (90,636) by MusicfanJ from Germany Great explanation of the different tones of the albums. I like that Mariah sounds different on all the three mentioned albums. (Friday 16 August 2019; 17:07)

Re: Tommy cried to Beautiful Ones (90,610) (90,611) by MusicfanJ from Germany The same here. By the first listen it didn't get me. But later, I recognized what a great masterpiece this song really is. Then I had it on repeat too. The end of the song is everything. If Tommy did cry, it's totally understandable. (Wednesday 14 August 2019; 18:42)

Article: Homer Panteloglou still reeling from Mariah (90,559) by MusicfanJ from Germany Isn't it nice to read? I really enjoyed reading it, what a nice story. Mr. Panteloglou will never forget meeting her for sure. I always dreamed about meeting her in "real life" like every fan and still do. The idea with the cooking book is super sweet. I love reading those experiences when normal people meet her and get a chance to talk a little bit. Shows that Mariah isn't a diva 24/7. (Friday 9 August 2019; 11:24)

Re: MC in France, 1990 (90,541) (90,542) by MusicfanJ from Germany Thanks vor the link. Just stunning in every way. So natural, so beautiful and the voice is blowing me away. I love the young and shy MC. Very sweet. Someone wrote at the end she had the "Daydream smile". I recognized it too, how I love that smile. What a lucky audience who have witnessed that special time. (Monday 5 August 2019; 20:07)

Re: The new Jerry O'Connell show (90,523) (90,528) by MusicfanJ from Germany The comment from Whoopi doesn't bother me at all. I love Whoopi as an actress. I don't know how she's as a person but I always thought she was cool, because she doesn't seem like the superficial Hollywood ones. Maybe the chemistry between her and MC is just not so good. But isn't Mariah always saying that her favorite movie is "The colour purple"? (Saturday 3 August 2019; 17:16)

One Sweet Day / Daydream (90,515) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm listening to this beautiful song right now and also it's not a song I listen daily, because it's so sad, I do miss those kind of songs. The "Butterfly" album may be her best as an artist, more creative with great lyrics, great videos and so on. But "Daydream" will always be my favorite. Maybe it's because it made me a fan of Mariah back in 95. Great memories. I will never forget how I thought this is an angel singing. (Friday 2 August 2019; 15:55)

Re: Tik Tok challenge (90,503) (90,505) by MusicfanJ from Germany I don't know all the challenges, it's nothing for my age. Lol. But I always love Mariah in jeans and T-Shirt. She looks great in casual clothes. (Thursday 1 August 2019; 10:44)

Re: Old Town Road (90,477) (90,483) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes Terna, I asked myself the same. "What happened to the magic? Where did it up and leave to? Music used to inspire and move people, now it only gives a headache. It's sad." I'm happy to have a big collection too from Mariah and all the other true musicians. A cd or vinyl is so much more worth than just a click on a streaming platform. (Tuesday 30 July 2019; 22:15)

Re: 16 Weeks (90,475) (90,480) by MusicfanJ from Germany Completely agree. The quality on the streaming charts are so poor now. I had to google the song because the German radio stations don't play it/or not often (maybe on the young/fm). To compare that song with OSD is ridiculous. When OSD was released the radio stations played it on my German radio station every hour, I swear. That time was heaven to be a Mariah fan. I have no problem that Mr. Nas X and the country singer broke MC's record because that song is nothing that will last. Just compare the lyrics. When Mariah starts to sing: Sorry I never told you, goosebumbs guaranteed. And yes I love Boyz II Men, one of the best artists at that time in 95/96 for sure. Real rnb from the heart. I wonder if a ballad or a slow song has a chance today to be on number one. (When it's not from Adele, Bruno Mars or Ed Sheeran.) Maybe a movie song? (Tuesday 30 July 2019; 21:44)
