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

Re: Aggressive music (83,367) (83,368) by MusicfanJ from Germany I don't like the description aggressive for music. If it really means it's fresh and creative that would be nice. I want a soulful album without overproducing. Just her voice with "real" instruments and heartfelt lyrics. (Tuesday 14 August 2018; 10:14)

Re: Mariah the trendsetter (82,864) (82,869) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, that album has some trendy songs. I loved the retro vibe from "Meteorite" right after the first listen. The same with "Make it look good". "Beautiful" and "Dedicated" are so much fun to listen to. "The art of letting go" is like a good wine. It needs time to get better. The song didn't connect with me when the cd came out. Now I love it more and more. Somehow it's like a combination from the "old" and "new" Mariah. One of my favorites from the album.

Re: Mariah and Britney... maybe? (82,853) (82,861) by MusicfanJ from Germany I can't believe this rumor. Lol. But if it's true I'll also give it a try. (Monday 18 June 2018; 19:13)

Re: "That's about me" song (82,813) (82,823) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Close my eyes" and "Through the rain". (Friday 15 June 2018; 10:53)

Re: Hall of Fame gala (82,821) (82,822) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes this is how a global superstar, real diva looks like. Everything is on point and I can see her "inner glow". For me she's definitely back. Beautiful Mariah. The new insta pics are great too. Keep that glow MC. (Friday 15 June 2018; 10:47)

Re: Songs you don't have to be a MC fan to love (82,753) (82,759) by MusicfanJ from Germany 1. My All 2. When you believe 3. Hero 4. Without you 5. I'll be there 6. Vision of love 7. Fantasy and of course a lot more (Tuesday 12 June 2018; 11:25)

Re: Daydream album (82,739) (82,741) by MusicfanJ from Germany Great post. 95 was a real good year. Daydream still fascinates me. The production was simply perfect, her voice is so magical. I love the lyrics too. For me it's the ultimate Mariah album. (Monday 11 June 2018; 10:59)

Re: Christmas tickets (82,738) (82,740) by MusicfanJ from Germany Tijl you're absolutely right. There's not a week something bad is happening because of this huge problem in Europe. I had a happy youth, we could go out at night without worries. Those days are gone. Some areas are a no-go. Now we have some certain groups in our city that causes big problems. They are not willing to share our culture. And thousands of people who can't get watched by the police all the time. The one who say it has nothing to with are wrong. Every day we have this topic in our news, but you never hear something of Buddhists, Hindu or any other culture/religion. That says a lot. (Monday 11 June 2018; 10:55)

Re: Concert in Europe (82,726) (82,733) by MusicfanJ from Germany I also understand the concerns. But I think it won't be sold out. It shouldn't be a problem to get tickets in autumn. I would be surprised, if there are no tickets available. (Sunday 10 June 2018; 12:55)

Re: Tickets (82,702) (82,706) by MusicfanJ from Germany I got mine from Eventim. Is it available in Greece? (Friday 8 June 2018; 16:24)

Re: X-Girlfriend (82,629) (82,636) by MusicfanJ from Germany Thanks Gee for the info. Oh I mixed up something. Is there any song produced by Rodney Jerkins and MC? I'm confused today. Lol. (Monday 4 June 2018; 13:49)

Re: Re: #1's (82,608) (82,613) (82,615) by MusicfanJ from Germany Favorite: Vision of Love, Hero and Fantasy. VOL is still unrivalled, she was showing all her talent and I often get goosebumbs just by the intro, Hero is a Mariah anthem and Fantasy was the song which made me a fan. Least Favorite: Touch My Body. I was surprised that it went to number one when it was released. The video is really funny, but the lyrics are cheesy indeed. (Saturday 2 June 2018; 16:33)

Re: One song discussion with MC (82,611) (82,614) by MusicfanJ from Germany I also like "Bliss". Such a relaxed, romantic sexy tune. "X-Girlfriend" is ok. It sounds dated, but in 99 it had this popular sound like most the songs had from Destiny's Child. The Rodney Jerkins sound, who produced it. Infinity is the only song from Mariah which I haven't on any playlist, cd or download. Even "I don't" grew on me and gets played from time to time. (Saturday 2 June 2018; 16:14)

Re: One song discussion with MC (82,600) (82,606) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mine would be "Close my eyes", "Lullaby", and "Subtle Invitation". (Saturday 2 June 2018; 12:25)

Re: Lenny (82,589) (82,591) by MusicfanJ from Germany I always wondered why they never worked together. Lenny and Mariah, yes, yes, yes. I would love this collaboration. (Thursday 31 May 2018; 14:54)

Re: feeding hungry kids (82,588) (82,590) by MusicfanJ from Germany Hmm and today a woman from South-Korea told me the Buddhists say: if you have problems, you will be rescued. Nice isn't it? And Yoda says: Patience you must have. But to talk about the original subject, I do think Mariah has spent a lot to different organizations. In the past somebody posted a list on this board with all the known organizations she was connected to. A long list. And we don't know what she does or has privately. If every rich person would spend something it would help a lot of course. Mariah has also helped so many people just with her beautiful music. And to "feed" the soul is important too.

Re: Article: Mariah Carey watches fan covers on YouTube (82,516) (82,518) by MusicfanJ from Germany What a nice surprise to watch. Really cute. The "violin man" with "Touch my body" and the two kids with "Hero" are fantastic. For me this is the real Mariah (the Mariah I love), her smile, her look, she's back. I don't know where "she was hiding herself", but I'm just happy to see her like that. Thumbs up for the one who had the idea for this video. (Thursday 24 May 2018; 14:15)

Mariah's back catalog (82,515) by MusicfanJ from Germany I've been listening to Mariah almost the whole day. There's no other artist where it would be a pleasure to listen to for so long. Well maybe Michael Jackson. I'm always amazed about her back catalog. She's the coolest woman on earth when she sings "Long Ago", the most longing with "My All", the happy girl next door with "Fantasy", the best lyricist with "Breakdown", "Outside" and the saddest with "Looking In". Just to name a few. And she sounds good in every music genre. So even if we won't get a new cd this year (of course it would be great if Mariah releases a new album) there are so many songs to enjoy. By the way I love her look from the new pics. Is her hair a little bit darker? Reminds me of the Daydream look. Very beautiful. (Wednesday 23 May 2018; 20:26)

Re: New list (82,487) (82,489) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love Donna Summer and all the great disco classics from the 70ies too. The 80ies and the 90ies are my favorites musically. Like someone said after 2004 it all went down. There are only a very few exceptions left which are worth listening. I did enjoy reading all the lists as well, very interesting with great albums. "That's the way love goes" by Janet is RnB at it's best. I still love it. What a groove. Not like the EDM influenced heartless RnB today. Yes and J.Lo was the background dancer in the clip, 93 was a good time. (Monday 21 May 2018; 17:10)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey is "considering baring all" in a naked shoot (82,457) (82,466) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm not jealous, and I love sexiness with class. But there should always be something left for the fantasy. She is so beautiful she doesn't need those publicity. Some other midlife crisis c-celebrity like Heidi Klum (tasteless woman) can show the world their naked body. Boring as hell. I want some classy photoshoot. Mariah doesn't need to prove anything. (Saturday 19 May 2018; 19:51)

Re: First impressions of TEOM (82,439) (82,443) by MusicfanJ from Germany With "It's like that" I was a bit surprised, but it grew on me and finally I loved it as the opening song. After listening to "We belong together" I thought this is a typical magic Mariah song. I had it on repeat over and over. And I knew this would be another number one. Other favorites by the first time: Mine again, Stay the night, Get your number, Circles and definitely Joy Ride. I read a lot of fans don't like TTF, I liked the Neptunes and Nelly at that time, so that collabo seemed cool to me. I still enjoy it. (Thursday 17 May 2018; 20:12)

Article: Watch Mariah Carey apply makeup to a stranger (82,347) by MusicfanJ from Germany The video on instagram is really nice to watch. How I missed to see her like that. Her smile and the way she talks, this is truly Mariah. A classy, beautiful woman and just sweet. I have a 90ies flashback and I mean that positive. Please more of it. (Tuesday 8 May 2018; 19:49)

Re: Meet and Greet - wait 2 hours for 20 seconds (82,328) (82,346) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, if it's is free the whole audience from the concert would go and meet her. I mean who wouldn't? But I think the "Meet and Great" shouldn't be that expensive. Although she's the one and only MC and a global superstar. The lambs who met her at an airport or at the hotel are the lucky ones. I dream of it since day one of my fandom. (Tuesday 8 May 2018; 19:30)

Re: Accelerate (82,320) (82,322) by MusicfanJ from Germany The thing with the tongue in the video is more than trash. Madonna and Lady Gaga are already the ones for "shocking" videos. We don't need more entertainers like that. I really miss the time when it was all about good music. And the female singers didn't need those videos for selling. I know those times are gone, but I'm happy to have witnessed greater times in music. (Monday 7 May 2018; 11:39)

Re: Accelerate (82,319) (82,321) by MusicfanJ from Germany I can't take Christina and Britney seriously as artists. They are just entertainers. Christina had the better voice than Britney, but when "Dirty" was released I lost every interest in her. Christina copied Mariah from the beginning. She has some catchy songs but she'll never be in the liga like Alicia Keys for example musically. The new song and video is boring to me. Luckily everyone has a different taste.
