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

Honey remixes (89,797) by MusicfanJ from Germany Lately I'm a bit obsessed with Mariah's remixes. I rediscovered the Honey remixes and they are so good. Most people think of Mariah as the ballad queen and Christmas of course. I wish more would know about her uptempos and dance songs. But somehow it's also nice that only fans knows the true treasures.

Re: Five most iconic Mariah recordings (89,789) (89,790) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Just the whistle part towards the end of Bringing On The Heartbreak." Oh how could I forget this one. Her whistle is out if this world on this song. (Friday 31 May 2019; 18:24)

Re: Five most iconic Mariah recordings (89,783) (89,787) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love the live version of "America the Beautiful" so much. And the reactions of the NBA players. Tough question, I'll try to choose: 1. Vision of love (until today unrivalled) 2. Without you (one of her best covers) 3. Fantasy (the ultimate Mariah song) 4. Hero (the message will always inspire people) 5. All I want for Christmas is you (MC is the queen of Christmas with no doubts) It's even harder to pick a live-version, maybe the SNL Can't Let Go version and Anytime You Need a Friend at Tokyo Dome. Bill your choices are great. The Dreamlover remix is one of my favs too. I'm going to listen to it now. (Friday 31 May 2019; 14:07)

Re: SFUA and FLAB snippets (89,763) (89,768) by MusicfanJ from Germany Lol the Prisoner rap. That's my tune too. How about Someday and Melt Away? I really love Mariah's set list on this tour. I need a tour DVD of it. It's time for a new one. (Thursday 30 May 2019; 12:58)

Re: Goosebumps: Slipping Away and Music Box (89,749) (89,750) by MusicfanJ from Germany I just watched the videos. Cool surprise. But at the moment I'm totally blown away by "Endless love". Mariah is rocking Europe again. (Tuesday 28 May 2019; 12:12)

Re: Royal Albert Hall (89,741) (89,742) by MusicfanJ from Germany Love to read all the reviews. Royal Albert Hall really must be so special. A tour DVD of it would be very welcomed. I also prefer a smaller venue for Mariah. So it's really perfect. I read that the one in Paris will also be a smaller venue and not a stadium. I wish I could go there or in Hamburg but this time I can't. Are any of you lambs going to see her on the next dates in Europe? I hope to read more of your experiences with the Caution tour.

Re: If septic tanks could sing (89,668) (89,670) by MusicfanJ from Germany All I want to say about this topic is that today I saw a picture with Madonna in our newspaper with the title: Zero points for Germany, but well we were better than Madonna. All were better. Lol I didn't read one positive thing about her "show". And I'm not suprised. (Monday 20 May 2019; 18:14)

Re: First Mariah item (89,663) (89,665) by MusicfanJ from Germany Bill I know what you mean. I discovered Mariah also by my own. It really made it special. So I'm sorry she's mine too. But I never thought if it until I read your post. It's really interesting to read how it all started and I think we as fans have a lot in common how our love for MC started. (Monday 20 May 2019; 11:32)

Re: First Mariah item (89,656) (89,664) by MusicfanJ from Germany The Daydream album/cassette. With this album everything started. My fandom for life. I still have it (the cassette) it's like a holy grail, I mean for music. When I first heard "Fantasy" on the radio I immediately bought the album. And I wanted to know everything about this beautiful woman and singer with a voice I never heard before. Later I realized that Mariah also sung "Without You". A song I loved back then on the radio when I was little. (Monday 20 May 2019; 11:20)

Re: Help Me Make It (89,585) (89,602) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Help me make it", how I love the song. "Right to dream" is also great. But HMMI is superb. (Thursday 16 May 2019; 17:20)

Re: Please respect Madonna, avoid sexist comments (89,550) (89,552) by MusicfanJ from Germany I don't care if an older woman or man dresses like a teen or very young adult. They must feel comfortable. But one great thing is (if you're a grown-up) or getting older, you don't need to stress yourself with trends (like in highschool, for example). I like Madonna's Evita and the movie song. Plus Frozen. The 80ies songs on the radio are ok too. But I still don't like her pirate outfit and the over-sexualized videos. That's not because of her age. It just a matter of taste. (Friday 10 May 2019; 22:25)

Re: Her thing is different (89,541) (89,542) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, I know people who said the same. I think that was the time were the fans got divided and a lot of older "listeners" left. I was suprised by the Honey video too back then. But I loved it. Great video. Love the Bond girl style. Her look was sexy but still classy. That's the point, a singer should still look classy if she wants to be taken serious. Madonna was always just shocking and "trendy". No one said: Oh what a voice she has. Lol. Simply entertaining, nothing more. (Friday 10 May 2019; 10:56)

Re: Madonna's BBMA performance (89,511) (89,522) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Look at Diana Ross. She is just simply stunning at 75." Oh yes, must be wonderful genes plus a healthy lifestyle. She just looks beautiful. Madonna looks too harsh with all the muscles. Never liked that. Like the "Hung Up" video. What I like most is a classy style or casual and natural. Mariah is a natural beauty. (Wednesday 8 May 2019; 20:06)

Re: BBMAs 2019 (89,476) (89,478) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Madonna reminded me of the old lady from the movie Studio 54 with Ryan Phillipe." Haha I remember the woman from the movie. Lol. I also think Madonna showed again that she's not a nice person. Bitter and envious. (Monday 6 May 2019; 22:12)

Re: BBMAs 2019 (89,473) (89,475) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes, the youngsters are so boring to watch. Bad entertainers and definitely no artists. I also think since 2010 it got worse and worse. Those "kids" will never understand that with talent you don't need to shock or copy. If I watch the charts I'm shocked about the songs. It almost sounds all the same. No heart, no real emotion on it. I wonder if the music biz will have another era of great singers like in the 80ies and 90ies. I don't think so. (Monday 6 May 2019; 19:04)

Re: BMA vocal analysis (89,468) (89,472) by MusicfanJ from Germany I take Baldrian if it's needed. But I guess that's nothing that could help a singer. I think the same like Licia as long as Mariah knows what's not working and she really gives her best it makes her very human and "grown-up". But I also wonder if a superstar like Mariah can work a little bit on some things so that she does not need to be too nervous. (Monday 6 May 2019; 14:50)

Re: BMA vocal analysis (89,465) (89,471) by MusicfanJ from Germany Mariah was very confident during the MSG concert in 96. That's how it looked. I do believe you can have stage fright at the beginning and still be confident after a few minutes. At MSG Mariah knew she was the best singer at that time. She knew she was on top and nobody could come close. (Monday 6 May 2019; 14:42)

Re: BBMA (89,423) (89,426) by MusicfanJ from Germany First of all congratulations to the one and only Miss Mariah Carey. She should have [gotten] that award way earlier, but hey she's got a complete room full with awards. The best thing was her speech. Watched it three times and I will watch it again today. She was really nervous. Her speech showed a humble and lovely Mariah. The one I love since I became a fan during Daydream. Taylor Swift looked like a little fan girl, loved that too. Monroe was sweet by applauding her mum. I'm so happy that Mariah dedicated her life to music. And I truly believe every word she said came from her heart. I love that Mariah said, we helped her through the hell (we all know what it was). We fans/lambs can be so proud of her. Love you MC. (Thursday 2 May 2019; 15:00)

Re: (89,384) (89,386) by MusicfanJ from Germany I would also love a fun dance/disco album for the summer in the future. After that the jazz album. (Monday 29 April 2019; 11:37)

Re: So, Taylor Swift has a new song (89,381) (89,385) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's true Nikki with the pushing of an artist and everything. But a management can push a song or an album as much as they want. If the quality is not good, normally it won't be successful very long. A song can be very successful without a lot of promotion if it has something the people want to hear. I'm 100 % sure that "One Sweet Day" would have been a number one with or without promotion for example. The same with "My All" and so on. I think what is most important is the right time and even some luck. At the right time to release good music will always be appreciate by a lot of people. (Monday 29 April 2019; 11:32)

Re: (89,358) (89,372) by MusicfanJ from Germany I understand what you mean with "street diva". But Mariah is clearly more diva than "street". That role playing seems to be fun for her. I don't know. For me Mariah is a classic diva, but a sweet one. I really do believe that inside her true self she's sometimes still "the Long Island girl". (Sunday 28 April 2019; 12:03)

Re: (89,360) (89,371) by MusicfanJ from Germany "I'd love a jazz album or an album of standards or a stripped album with mostly piano guitar." Yes, I won't give up this dream. That album would be everything. She would "shine" with every song. Almost everybody can do a "modern" album today with all the computers. But to do a jazz record or piano one you need to be a real musician and have a "special voice". So it's perfect for the songbird supreme. (Sunday 28 April 2019; 11:46)

Re: Groan (89,334) (89,345) by MusicfanJ from Germany B. I just meant that I'm suprised that Madonna gets 3 million for a TV gig. And yes I don't know much about her, because I never cared for her and her music. (Saturday 27 April 2019; 16:38)

Re: Article: Everything you ever wanted to know about Mariah Carey (89,331) (89,333) by MusicfanJ from Germany Cool idea. I "see" six songs. Hate U Bye Bye Beautiful Butterfly Candy Bling Rainbow (Interlude) (Friday 26 April 2019; 23:16)

Make It Happen (89,330) by MusicfanJ from Germany I know it's a fan favorite, it is one of mine. I love MIH so much. The album version, the live version (legendary) and the remix as well (the "bass-line" keeps me dancing). Do you think we will ever get a song like this? I miss a positive song like this from Mariah. (Friday 26 April 2019; 18:53)
