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

Close My Eyes and Whenever You Call (77,039) by MusicfanJ from Germany No one will ever be able to transform so much emotion. I mean "Close my eyes" is so peaceful, I love the lyrics. WYC get's me everytime, what a love song. When she sings: "And now, there it has begun, we cannot turn back, we can only turn into one" and the chorus starts, I'm done. Someone bring back the "dreamy" romantic Mariah. (Tuesday 11 July 2017; 16:00)

Re: Butterfly (77,025) (77,038) by MusicfanJ from Germany I can't believe it's been 20 years ago that this beautiful, timeless album got released. This album deserves a new release with bonus songs or unheard vocals. Like Michael Jackson's "Off the Wall" and "Bad". Since all of you were talking about "Fourth of July" I'm also in love again with the song. Mariah is taking you to a journey with only words and the beautiful melody. It's like a journey to paradise. Honestly "Butterfly" shows all her genius talent. For me it's not only pop and rnb, it's pure artistry. Vere rare, and something that is almost gone in today's popular music.

Re: Why you mad at Mariah? (77,030) (77,031) by MusicfanJ from Germany Victor from Costa Rica, your thoughts and theories are very interesting. Especially this "I think she is hurt in a very deep level plus she could be been blackmailed". I also believe she is very hurt inside for a lot of reasons (some we might know and some are hidden). During her peak Mariah was perfection in every way, so like you said then there's mostly only a way down and the people love to the see a superstar falling down. She gave the world truly everthing she had, and got used. The industry was never nice to her. But I won't believe that she thinks the fans doesn't deserve more. Maybe she doesn't care anymore. But to see her like a shadow of herself is so hurtful. I don't need another hit single from Mariah, I just want her to be happy and healthy. I hope that she wants it too.

Re: All The Hits (77,013) (77,018) by MusicfanJ from Germany Oh Bill, your set list sounds scary. I hope it won't happen this way. The audience will not be happy. (Monday 10 July 2017; 15:26)

Re: Wrapping up Vegas (76,986) (76,989) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes "Without you" is a big international hit. When she sang it on tour in Germany the crowd were freaking out by the first to three seconds and were blown away when she started the chorus. Her aura is so special. I've been to a lot of concerts but with Mariah it's like you're watching a living world wonder. It's magical to see and hear her live. I have no other word for it. So thanks for the link.

Re: New unheard Fantasy vocals (acapella) (76,974) (76,985) by MusicfanJ from Germany I absolutely love it. I can't get enough of the unheard vocals. (Sunday 9 July 2017; 12:51)

Re: Licia/Mimi (76,956) (76,962) by MusicfanJ from Germany Ribbon B. Mimi is paying for her fake lifestyle of fake friends and hangers on. Guess it is "win win" I completely agree with it. All fake things are very expensive. Mariah would really "win" if she would surround herself with real people. I was never a fan of this Hollywood-lifestyle. It had destroyed too many talented people. I think Mariah should choose the middle. Enjoy here and there luxury but without the plastic and fake people. I wonder if she will ever realize that sometimes less can be more. (Saturday 8 July 2017; 11:08)

Re: On a positive note (76,943) (76,951) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes she looks beautiful and much younger. She doesn't need much make-up, the masquerade makes everyone older not prettier. So I hope to see more of the casual MC. Mariah's swimsuit is cool. (Friday 7 July 2017; 17:53)

Re: Chriatnas [sic] in Vegas? (76,924) (76,928) by MusicfanJ from Germany I wonder too. Oh yes, NY is perfect for Christmas. When was the last time Mariah was "seen" in New York? Does she still own this wonderful penthouse in New York City? I understand that Mariah may not like the weather there (too cold) but it's her hometown. I wish she would spend a little more time there (without her entourage). (Thursday 6 July 2017; 21:24)

Re: Wild Thoughts / chorus girl Mariah (76,917) (76,918) by MusicfanJ from Germany It's funny that you mentioned the "Maria Maria" sample because I thought the same, it's the best part of the song. And the kids have no idea how beautiful the original song is. Lol Rihanna sounds as usually not good. Her singing reminds me of a female duck in some parts. I hope Mariah will not go that route, if I want to hear bubble-gum pop or uninspired, overproduced Rnb I can switch to the radio or music tv. Like B. said I want a Mariah song. As simple as said. I'm tired of the guest-rappers. And I don't need this DJ Khaled and other hip Djs. It would be ok for two or three songs on an album but I really need a heartfelt song with great lyrics. (Thursday 6 July 2017; 13:54)

Re: For the first time in a while (76,899) (76,906) by MusicfanJ from Germany I thought the same when I watched the clip where she is swimming. That's Mariah, please more of this. I love when she has fun, real fun. (Wednesday 5 July 2017; 18:17)

Re: Mariah (76,878) (76,882) by MusicfanJ from Germany So it's not true with the credit card. But every week another "headline" about the possible boyfriend, wedding, parties, restaurants, outfits, commercials and the list goes on. It's too much Hollywood for me. (Tuesday 4 July 2017; 19:58)

Re: Mariah (76,875) (76,878) by MusicfanJ from Germany If it's true with the credit card, it's time to wake up. Well since a while it's time for that. Even Michael Jackson got broke and he was "forced" to do the "This is it" Tour. And a lot of other rich people experienced the same because of the false consultants. With the jet I have no words for it. Mariah must be blind to trust the "clan" aka her empowerment crew. (Tuesday 4 July 2017; 13:24)

Re: Jazz album (76,850) (76,854) by MusicfanJ from Germany How I love Ella Fitzgerald. The songbooks and Gershwin are a "holy grail" in music. But only a true musician with soul and a lot of talent can sing this wonderful music. If Rihanna, Tyler Swift and all those other hyped stars would sing a jazzy tune it would sound awful. They will never be able to sing it. Jazz is more than music for intellectual, it's timeless and if you're open to it, it's pure pleasure for the ears. (Monday 3 July 2017; 15:39)

Re: Celine (76,837) (76,849) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Sexy and Celine do not go together at all." Gee, I totally agree with you. (Monday 3 July 2017; 12:16)

Re: Jazz album (76,834) (76,848) by MusicfanJ from Germany Terna, jazz is not for "ugly rough voices", but I get that you don't like this type of music. Neo-Soul would be nice, lately I prefer soul music over the modern rnb. I just wish Mariah would try a new formula, a little bit experience. I also would love an album full of "retro-soul". So the lambs want jazz, gospel, rnb and soul. Great combination. (Monday 3 July 2017; 12:12)

Re: MIAM (76,818) (76,822) by MusicfanJ from Germany That's true it has something for everyone. After the first listen of the album I was a bit disappointed, but now I really love it. Especially "Meteorite" and "Beautiful" I won't miss. And "Thirsty" and "Cry" are also on that list. (Sunday 2 July 2017; 11:43)

Adele canceling tour (76,801) by MusicfanJ from Germany In the news they say Adele is canceling her tour because of voice problems. Her doctor told her to do it, the voice needs time to rest. If it's true, my thought is, see Adele's voice is beginning to get raspy because of the concerts, touring and so on after such a "short" period. And we wonder why Mariah's voice started to "change" in 98/99. I mean in the 90ies Mariah was working like crazy, and then 2001 happened. Maybe if she had take more time to rest her voice after 95 everything would be easier for her now. Just a thought. (Saturday 1 July 2017; 11:46)

Re: Jazz album (76,764) (76,768) by MusicfanJ from Germany I'm a big jazz fan so I would love if Mariah would do something jazzy. I know young musicians who are great in doing jazz. So it's not only for oldies as some people think. Mariah would sound fantastic, her voice is perfect for that genre. I wonder why nobody is telling her this, or why she isn't experiencing more. Maybe one day. (Thursday 29 June 2017; 20:11)

Re: New pic (76,762) (76,767) by MusicfanJ from Germany I can't stand the necklace. It looks like a dog collar. Sorry. The outfit is ok, but with all the money I know Mariah can do better. But compared to some latest Stella look-a-like she really looks cute. (Thursday 29 June 2017; 19:59)

Re: "Fourth of July" - unheard vocals (76,743) (76,748) by MusicfanJ from Germany Sounds so good and almost like a new song. The version on cd is beautiful and pure Mariah, but the unheard vocals are heavenly. I wish there was a cd with rare songs and unheard versions. I'll listen to the album version as well. Great song, I love the romantic MC. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 22:05)

Re: Thanks for Nothing in Baku (76,731) (76,735) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes "Cruise Control" should have been a hit. The whole album has so many good songs that didn't get the attention they deserved. Migrate, Side Effects and For the record had also great potential to become a hit. I love EMC2 so much. Great album. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 11:14)

Re: It's not to stay relevent (76,726) (76,734) by MusicfanJ from Germany Yes I do hope te music is her priority too. Or let's say will be again. It's ok to have side projects but please not only for making fast money. In the 90ies the commercials for Japan were great. The Pinko and perfume stuff is also nice. But the latest deals like champagne, match.com, the "Israel"-water and Dead Sea cosmetics, private gigs for rich people I'm not a fan of this. I want new music which is heartfelt with great lyrics. Pop, Soul, Rnb, Jazz whatever she wants to do. And if Mariah is no longer interested in "normal" album releases, it's ok. All I'm asking for is to bring back the professional behavior with a good taste (without using the f. and too much diva-talking.) It's getting boring and she's so much more than this. (Wednesday 28 June 2017; 11:07)

Re: Mariah crying while singing (76,665) (76,667) by MusicfanJ from Germany Honestly if this is true I wouldn't be surprised. Something is so wrong. We can't look behind closed doors and so on but I do believe that Mariah isn't feeling very well. I don't want to speculate about possible reasons but one thing is clear: her circus is hiding "messages" from fans and other people. It seems like Mariah is "caged" again. While her first marriage it was Tommy who wanted full control, now it's even worse because the new controlling is taking damage on many levels. Maybe she realizes it or can't hide any more how she really feels. The diva persona was always there to protect the person Mariah, she's a very sensitive and emotional woman. That can be a dangerous thing in showbiz. (Monday 26 June 2017; 19:44)

Re: Could we all be part of another metamorphosis? (76,657) (76,658) by MusicfanJ from Germany I have nothing against a metamorphosis. It is natural and everyone is changing now and then but to change so extremely is strange. A "beautiful butterfly" should never turn into something trashy. But I know what you mean. In 97 a lot of fans didn't like the more urban-style Mariah. But I think compared to now it really was "harmless". It was more because of the music not only because of her new sexy looking. Maybe she choose Stella and her daughters to impress some younger people but for what was it really good? A lot of fans are disappointed and as you said don't recognize her anymore. Mariah Carey doesn't need the yellow press like a new teen star. They won't buy music, they won't go to her concerts. They will just watch YouTube, instagram and co. for some free "entertainment". I just wish Mariah would reinvent to someone without the current image. It must be very hard to be a living legend since the millennium but Mariah can do so much better than lately. Maybe it's all fun for her, or a strategy but I don't get it. Anyway I wish her the best, I love MC. (Monday 26 June 2017; 15:19)
