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

Re: Does anyone here even stream music? (88,685) (88,688) by MusicfanJ from Germany I do it like Dove, I have all the albums from my favorite artists on cd. And I still love to buy cd's and to collect them. I have digital downloads, but don't stream with iTunes or Tindal or whatever. I do enjoy and appreciate music more if I have it on a physical copy. Anyway I also think the group who are streaming the most are teens and young twens, it's not Mariah's fan base like Ribbon already mentioned. We may have less time than the teens, but we have money to buy good music. (Tuesday 19 March 2019; 11:20)

Re: Vegas final show this leg 2/21/19 M&G (long) (88,575) (88,576) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mara, I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry. I was reading your post and was happy to read your descriptions of the concert and the Mariah Meet and Great. I would have felt the same way if I had the chance of meeting her. To go on with the post and read what happend to your mom. I have no words. Life's so unfair. Please don't feel guilty that you went to Vegas to meet your "sister". I know exactly what you mean with "all the stuff don't mean anything". I wish you a lot of strength during this sad time. Sending a hug. (Thursday 14 March 2019; 12:17)

Re: Everything Fades Away (88,556) (88,569) by MusicfanJ from Germany I think it's Will Downing. (Wednesday 13 March 2019; 22:55)

Re: Original Music Box track listing (88,535) (88,568) by MusicfanJ from Germany There couldn't be a better song for the ending of Music Box than "EFA". From "Dreamlover" to "Without You" to "Everything fades away". It suits very well. It's one of her best songs from her entire catalogue. From the first second to the excellent choir/male voice and the haunting end. I can listen to the last 30 seconds endlessly. Never heard something like this. It's so dreamy and I also used to listen to it before bedtime. (Wednesday 13 March 2019; 22:53)

Re: Eternally optimistic (88,418) (88,431) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes most of her videos are about being pretty or partying. Except the live concert videos. But some have more to tell visually like "Butterfly" or the "The roof". I love the partying in "Fantasy" and "Agent M" in "Honey" by the way. (Saturday 9 March 2019; 14:15)

Re: No No video (88,416) (88,429) by MusicfanJ from Germany I thought immediately of you Special K. when Bryan was doing some dancing in the video. I'm reading all of the thoughts of the video here on this board. Very interesting. I think it's an ok video. I like the colours. I'm missing a little story too. But compared to the GTFO video, it's not so bad. It looks modern with all the dancers on the train. Her kids are sweet on the few seconds. (Saturday 9 March 2019; 14:02)

Re: A No No feat. Stefflon Don (88,358) (88,366) by MusicfanJ from Germany I never heard of Stefflon Don. Google says she's a British female rapper. I'm not disappointed that it's not Cardi B. I never understood why this woman is popular/in? For me it's average, nothing special about her. Anyway I remember that MC wanted to work with Justin Timberlake for the remix back then. Maybe his management was against it, I found it dumb from Mr. Timberlake. Maybe Stefflon Don will surprise us and suits well to the No No remix. (Thursday 7 March 2019; 17:33)

Re: Setlist (88,210) (88,214) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow what a great set list. Everything one could hope for. That she did "Anytime you need a friend" in concert was something I was wishing for since forever. And what a surprise with the Glitter medley. Mariah made everyone happy with this set list. (Thursday 28 February 2019; 12:41)

Re: Article: 15 Moments from Caution tour that I need more than air (88,196) (88,198) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm excited for the setlist and I also wonder if there are some surprises. I always love the openers of her concerts. Just one day left and we will know more. I wish all the US fans who are going to one of her concerts a great time. (Wednesday 27 February 2019; 16:25)

Re: Gospel album (88,187) (88,189) by MusicfanJ from Germany A jazz album would be a dream. With musicians who are playing real instruments. I think of it since she did the jazzy intro of her band during the "Charmbracelet tour". (And I love "The wind".) The short version of "Don't explain" shows she's at least a little open for jazz. So a jazz-influenced album would be really something special. (Monday 25 February 2019; 22:59)

Re: Mr. Smollett (88,148) (88,149) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's unbelievable. I also liked "Empire" and when I read about the "attack" I was really shocked. Who would think that it was all fake and his own idea to get more money or fame with the press? Well never trust an actor. Honestly it's like a bad movie. What a fake and ill person Mr. Smollett seems to be. I'm sure he has got enough money, I hope he loose all his supporters and tv-appearances. He should spend the money for true victims.

Re: When V threw a party for Karl Largerfeld (88,139) (88,142) by MusicfanJ from Germany Karl was a fashion genius. I'm not into fashion at all haha, but Karl was really great. I love his famous quotes like "we don't know Heidi Klum, she was never in Paris" lol and so on. The pic on instagram where he kissed Mariah's hand is fantastic. I find it always cool that MC knows/knew everybody who is a real legend too. (Thursday 21 February 2019; 15:22)

Re: My absolute favorite Mariah song (88,108) (88,128) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Make it happen" is more than just a song, it's somehow Mariah's anthem. And I also get hope and positive energy everytime I listen to it. Her Madison Square Garden concert is hypnotic and for me one of the best. I don't care if it's dubbed, it's wonderful. I have it on a VHS cassette, and it never gets boring to watch it. Classic Mariah at her best. (Wednesday 20 February 2019; 19:21)

Re: JLo (88,019) (88,026) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, when I watched Glitter in 2001 that was my first thought. Sylk in the movie is J.Lo, there are no doubts. Haha. The actress who played Sylk really looks like J.Lo and the stealing of the song was also in the scene. I'm pretty sure that was Mariah's idea. (Wednesday 13 February 2019; 11:22)

Re: Caution the title track (87,990) (87,997) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love "Caution" and I also think it has more "hit potential" than "A no no". (Monday 11 February 2019; 16:05)

Re: The real Mariah (87,972) (87,975) by MusicfanJ from Germany Agree. Nobody can force such great melodies. It was her just like the other genre as well. I think Mariah has her unique mark on every song, no matter if it's pure RNB, Soul, Gospel or Pop. That's one thing (among many others) I love about her. (Saturday 9 February 2019; 10:44)

Re: One Child live 2018 (87,967) (87,969) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's true. "Mariah could sing the phone book", yup I would buy that phone book. Haha. I also loved her ringtones. (Friday 8 February 2019; 17:34)

Re: Butterfly (87,940) (87,952) by MusicfanJ from Germany Chris1992, your post is really interesting and I agree with a lot of your thoughts. "One of the things I love about early Mariah is how unaffected she was, as a person and as an artist. She was raw and there was beauty in that." I love the Butterfly album and the videos too. They were "Hollywood" but still classy. But I'll always prefer the Long Island girl when it comes to Mariah as a person and an artist. For me that was real. A little shy, her beauty was out if this world and the voice of an angel plus her pure genius talent. The diva playing can be fun too (sometimes), but I don't need it. Mariah as a person and singer is interesting enough. (Thursday 7 February 2019; 17:32)

Re: Gladys Knight (87,886) (87,896) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh yes, such a great woman. One of the best. Still so beautiful, classy and what a voice. I've been listening a lot to Gladys and the Pips lately. What a joy to discover all the songs. I've always loved her "Bond song", now I listen to "I feel a song in my heart" every day. So it's nice to hear Gladys also "rocked" the anthem. (Tuesday 5 February 2019; 12:14)

Re: Critical artice in the biggest newspaper in Norway (87,850) (87,858) by MusicfanJ from Germany I just read the comments on her instagram. Most of the people are disappointed. And I still think it was wrong to go there and be paid for it. I was wondering why there are no pics of it on her insta or something else? Maybe her team realized it's not a good look for a global superstar. (Friday 1 February 2019; 21:06)

Re: CNN on Mariah's concert in Saudi Arabia (87,821) (87,828) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's on the news here too. She's the looser of the day. (Not my words, it's the headline of it.) (Thursday 31 January 2019; 19:37)

Re: The Roof (87,814) (87,820) by MusicfanJ from Germany The Roof is indeed hypnotic. I love the song so much since the first listening. The description of it by Gee is perfect. I also love the video (her look is just stunning, that retro vibe is everything), and the remix. Pure art. The lyrics are so poetic and the rap part is great too. It suits so well. I also noticed that a lot of non-Mariah fans enjoy the song and are surprised that this is Mariah Carey. So enough praising. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 11:32)

Re: Proceed with caution: Saudi threats (87,807) (87,818) by MusicfanJ from Germany I really hope Mariah and her team will cancel this gig. Yes, her safety is another reason not to perform there. Please Mariah don't go. (Thursday 31 January 2019; 11:19)

Re: Okay hooold up now (87,788) (87,796) by MusicfanJ from Germany But it's a difference if a country has no human rights at all and is living like we still have the middle age. I wouldn't go to a place like that, not even for money. To compare Saudi Arabia with Spain and Australia is ridiculous. Every country has it's own problems for sure, especially with politics. But again, to have no human rights at all is another thing. (Wednesday 30 January 2019; 11:52)

Re: Saudi Arabia (87,703) (87,712) by MusicfanJ from Germany Why just why? Aren't there other countries/companies who are willing to book her for an event. The Caribbean makes sense after Christmas (who wouldn't love to be there) but Saudi-Arabia? If she would perform in Dubai fine, but Saudi-Arabia? Just a no no. (Saturday 26 January 2019; 12:59)
