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

Re: Caution - now that we've had some time (89,300) (89,304) by MusicfanJ from Germany The song "Caution" climbed to my number one of the album. The second is "Giving me life" (I need a video of it). Followed by "One more gen" and "Portrait". What changed since the release is that now I like "GTFO" and even "SLLY". I don't know why but I often skip "With You". (Thursday 25 April 2019; 12:17)

Re: The voices Mariah and Whitney (89,294) (89,297) by MusicfanJ from Germany I also think that Whitney had more "power". But Mariah has something in her voice that is so unique and untouched. It is the dreamy thing that takes you to another place. Angel like, mysterious and haunting. I always preferred Mariah's voice (also I like Whitney) because of these reasons. I love MC's softness in her voice so much and when she's singing with power it's heavenly. By the way I'm listening to Mariah's debut and I'm still blown away. (Wednesday 24 April 2019; 17:58)

Re: Mariah - queen of the intro (89,221) (89,225) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh that's so true. I love all her intros. "Vision of love", Fantasy" and "You're so cold" are so phenomenal and outstanding. I could listen over and over just to the intros. I did that many times, but Mariah is the only singer where enjoy doing this. (Thursday 18 April 2019; 19:20)

Re: Tupac obsessed (89,177) (89,179) by MusicfanJ from Germany I think now I know what you mean Ribbon B. Maybe Mariah is a just a real big fan or really a bit obsessive. Like with Marilyn Monroe. She adores her so much. She named her daughter Monroe, bought the piano and so on. I often read that Tupac loved Mariah's music especially "Vision of love". He had good taste. In a lot of articles it is written that Mariah regrets that they didn't get the chance to really meet, romanticize and do a record. So that would explain the t-shirts. Not to forget that Bryan seems to be a Tupac "fan" too. (Saturday 13 April 2019; 22:22)

Re: Tupac obsessed (89,169) (89,170) by MusicfanJ from Germany I can understand her "obsession" with Tupac. The man was a true artist and yes good-looking. At my youth everybody was listening to Tupac (the cool kids) and his hits "California Love" and "Changes" were huge here. I think he was simply genius with his songwriting and had really something to tell. Maybe Mariah had a little crush on him. I wish they had recorded something together or at least a remix. Nothing against ODB, but Mariah and Tupac would have been great too. (Saturday 13 April 2019; 12:30)

Re: Mariah to receive Icon Award at Music Awards (89,138) (89,141) by MusicfanJ from Germany So true, "Fantasy" changed everything. I hope she does a great medley of the songs that everyone know plus one new or a remix. That J.Lo got this award before Mariah is a shame. I also think the Millenium Award was given by the World Music Awards. (Friday 12 April 2019; 11:07)

Re: How are singles chosen? (89,099) (89,100) by MusicfanJ from Germany I think the same. "Migrate", "For the record" and even "Side effects" would have been way better as single choices. I wonder why a management isn't able to hear what songs are radio friendly and have a chance of being a hit. (Thursday 11 April 2019; 11:48)

Re: "Alone In Love" (89,052) (89,059) by MusicfanJ from Germany Totally agree. I love the song so much. I also think that's the ultimate Mariah sound. The real "trademark". Dreamy, powerful and softly all in one song. It has something that can't be created by other artists. Pure Mariah. (Monday 8 April 2019; 12:04)

Re: A No No (89,000) (89,011) by MusicfanJ from Germany There used to be a time where I knew the guest rappers on the remix too. I didn't knew Steflon and I have no clue who Shawni is. But it's good to know that at this time I'm not the only one. (Friday 5 April 2019; 10:23)

Re: Patti in Philly (88,999) (89,010) by MusicfanJ from Germany "It seems, bigger, thicker and blonder than ever before, therefore less realistic." I thought the same. Looks too much like a Barbie doll. Her natural look is beautiful, I hope the wig will be gone soon. (Friday 5 April 2019; 10:16)

A star is born (the movie) (88,998) by MusicfanJ from Germany I know it's off-topic. But finally I watched the movie and I'm really impressed by the fantastic Lady Gaga (and Bradley Cooper). Since some said Mariah should do a duet with Celine Dion how about Lady Gaga? I think they could connect better musically. (Thursday 4 April 2019; 22:47)

Re: Latest lawsuit (88,979) (88,981) by MusicfanJ from Germany Thanks RibbonB for the link of the article. It was interesting to read. That Mr. Burrell knew that there were snakes, well he has it in common with the lambs. That touring shall be her private life is somehow a bit sad. I hope after the Caution tour she'll have some private life and free time to enjoy. (Wednesday 3 April 2019; 21:46)

Re: Outside (88,968) (88,969) by MusicfanJ from Germany Perfect description of this beautiful song. When Mariah sings softly at the end "You'll always be somewhere on the outside" it gets me everytime. So emotional and true. That song has always a special place in my heart too. (Wednesday 3 April 2019; 10:37)

Re: Mariah performs for 1 hour in DC (88,940) (88,944) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh, I would be a bit disappointed too. The tickets were so expensive? Front row? One hour is really short. (Monday 1 April 2019; 15:51)

Re: The Daydream era (88,939) (88,943) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Lulls her listeners into her dream world." That's true, if I listen to Mariah she takes me away in a dreamland. And I love it. Her background vocals are always perfection. She's a genius with all the background vocals that fit so well on every song. (Monday 1 April 2019; 15:49)

Re: The last karaoke (88,911) (88,936) by MusicfanJ from Germany Whenever You Call is brilliant and more important truly emotional. It has the softly side at the beginning and the powerful end. Classic MC. Yup, that's what I call "real music". It was indeed the last Mariah ballad. I miss those kind of songs with lyrics. (Sunday 31 March 2019; 18:18)

Re: MOAIA (88,897) (88,899) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love "Obsessed", "Hate U", "Candy bling", "Out of my face" and of course "Standing O" and "Languishing". The lyrics are clever and fun. Some say it's boring, I don't think so. The mood and sound is just completely different to E=MC2. More dreamy and relaxed. A perfect album for autumn or late summer. (Friday 29 March 2019; 18:20)

Re: MIAMTEC and Caution (88,836) (88,860) by MusicfanJ from Germany I forgot the info for Randy. I'm 34. (Thursday 28 March 2019; 14:09)

Re: MIAMTEC and Caution (88,827) (88,831) by MusicfanJ from Germany It really changes from time to time and the personal mood. At the moment I prefer Caution over MIAMTiC. 1. Butterfly 2. Daydream 3. Emotions 4. Music Box 5. Merry Christmas 6. Mariah Carey 7. Glitter 8. TEOM 9. E=MC2 10. Charmbracelet 11. Caution 12. MOAIA 13. Rainbow 14. MIAMTEC (Wednesday 27 March 2019; 18:13)

Re: Happy Birthday (88,822) (88,824) by MusicfanJ from Germany Happy Birthday to the one and only Miss Mariah Carey. We love you. Have a festive day. Sending you love and butterflies. (Wednesday 27 March 2019; 13:46)

Article: Mariah Carey confirms autobiography (88,809) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love books and autobiographies. I have an old book about Mariah which is called "The sensitive star". Can't wait to read her autobiography. (Tuesday 26 March 2019; 21:56)

Re: Patricia Carey at NYC concert (88,804) (88,808) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's cool. I guess it's really a long time ago since her mum was seen in public. I always like to read your posts, you have such a positive energy. That's rare today. I'm sure you'll enjoy Mariah in concert next Friday. Please share your concert experience on the board. So have a good time. (Tuesday 26 March 2019; 20:31)

Re: For The Record appreciation (88,800) (88,807) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mine too. That song has something special, only Mariah can create this mood on a song. I also heard it first at her perfume commercial and when it was on the album I was so happy. I wish they would have released "For the record" instead of "Bye Bye". It sounds modern but still classy Mariah with that dreamy tune. it. (Tuesday 26 March 2019; 20:21)

Re: Okay, please nobody get mad (88,741) (88,743) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm not mad, but I can't stop laughing because of this "Mariah played (a hot) Ursala". It's too much for me. Lol. I love Disney too especially the old classics but I can't imagine Mariah doing a Disney song again. I count "Almost home" because it was for "Oz" made by Disney. Just for laughs: MC is the ultimate Arielle, didn't she mention she loves the Arielle theme? (Friday 22 March 2019; 11:16)

Re: Does anyone here even stream music? Part 2 (88,699) (88,716) by MusicfanJ from Germany "$10 a month you get millions of songs." Yes, but I don't want and need millions of songs. Just because something is trending like streaming, that doesn't mean it's better. I don't like to listen to music via computer. I have an excellent stereo system at home where I can really enjoy the music offline not just "consume" on the internet besides. On the way I have my mp3-player. I also like YouTube. What I mean is I prefer quality music over quantity. I did buy Mariah's album on the first day of the release, so to say the "retro lambs" are the reason Mariah isn't selling enough is not fair.
