About Philipp from Switzerland: Fan since 1999...heard her voice, fell in love and never looked back ;)

Which song would've you picked? (112,039) by Philipp from Switzerland I think Type Dangerous was the right choice. I actually like it even more now in the flow of the album. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 22:32) this is a reply to message 112,026

Which song would've you picked? (112,026) by T from USA We all know now that Type Dangerous was the single that they all agreed was the best to launch the era and album. Now that we've lived with all the songs for a month which of the eleven songs would've you put all the resources into like radio deal, big budget music video, performances behind? Is there even one song that deserves all that or was TD the right choice? (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 15:51)

Here For It All (111,911) by Philipp from Switzerland But isn't the chart system a fair representation of how we consume music? I don't know anyone who actually buys music, everyone just streams it, including me. I only buy Mariah's music. (Thursday 16 October 2025; 08:21) this is a reply to message 111,877

Here For It All (111,877) by jaker20 from US There is more to those numbers. The album did drop to 187 on Hot 200, but on sales it's still in the top 10. This really goes to show how messed up and useless the charts currently are. It leans way too heavily towards streaming, which doesn't really benefit most artists' pocketbooks. The keyword here is "sell". The charts are obscuring these details with "album equivalent units", because in reality, no one "sells" to profitability anymore in the same level that it used to, and that's a bad look for the industry. So when someone says: "Mariah didn't even sell as much as Doja Cat", that need to correction. Mariah did actually "sell" more than Doja Cat, in the US and certainly globally. The charts just obscures it. Equivalent sales unit will never equal sales, however the industry tries to convince us that it is. And as such, it will always be rigged against legacy artists.

New video interview: Mariah Carey, Kelly Rowland, and Ravyn Lenae (111,736) by Philipp from Switzerland Mariah Carey, Kelly Rowland, and Ravyn Lenae are three distinct voices who define R&B today. In the premiere episode of Elle's "Three Generations", the legendary superstar, the global hitmaker, and the trailblazing newcomer sit down for a rare conversation about the journeys that brought them here. Check out the video here. (Monday 6 October 2025; 17:08)

Interview with Associated Press (111,542) by Philipp from Switzerland This must be one of the best interviews of this era so far. You can tell that the journalist is a fan and she is asking her really good questions. Check it out here. (Saturday 27 September 2025; 10:26)

HFIA (111,533) by Philipp from Switzerland Beautifully said. I fully agree. (Saturday 27 September 2025; 00:38) this is a reply to message 111,524

HFIA (111,524) by Tijl from Belgium This album is as a warm blanket offered by a real friend in a time of great despair. She is and always will be a lifesaver. (Friday 26 September 2025; 20:22)

Love it. (111,530) by Philipp from Switzerland I really love the new album, it's so great. Confetti & champagne: title alone had me worried that this might be a cheap up-tempo, but when I heard it, I was amazed by how R&Bish it sounds. Nothing is impossible: is my absolute favorite Play this song: at first that was a bit underwhelmed, but then when I watch it together with the video, it started to grow on me. To be continued.

What did Mariah mean? (108,748) by Philipp from Switzerland in September 2024, Mariah was interviewed by Vanity Fair. Mariah said the following. What exactly do you think she meant by that? Her siblings maybe, and her mother? Vanity Fair: The book felt very honest. Looking back at it, are there things you left out that you wish you hadn't? Mariah: Some things are just too much. But there are some things in the book that I wish weren't in the book. Not that they were wrong or that they were inaccurate. But you learn later: Oh, I shouldn't have done that. Vanity Fair: Because it hurt people in your life? Mariah: Because it potentially hurt people in my life. I don't know, because I don't talk to certain people in my life.

Re: CB tour (93,961) (94,011) by Philipp from Switzerland I went to the Charmbracelet tour in Zürich, Switzerland on October 22nd 2003. What a concert. (Wednesday 6 May 2020; 22:08)

Re: Mariah Report (90,676) (90,692) by Philipp from Switzerland So sad. I loved the Mariah Report and was excited about each new episode. Their track-by-track analysis of the Butterfly album is amazing. (Monday 26 August 2019; 12:05)

Obsessed TikTok challenge (90,516) by Philipp from Switzerland I love the clip of her in the streets of New York. (Friday 2 August 2019; 16:42)

Re: Christmas albums (86,900) (87,091) by Philipp from Switzerland I love Toni Braxton's Christmas album"Snowflakes". It's my favorite Christmas album, after Mariah's of course. (Monday 17 December 2018; 13:57)

Re: "Lullaby" Can’t Go For That remix? (83,158) (83,165) by Philipp from Switzerland I have it, where do you want me to send it to? (Wednesday 18 July 2018; 05:27)

Mariah Carey Lambs United (80,480) by Philipp from Switzerland Hey lambs, I started a new Instagram account called Mariah Carey Lambs United (@mariahcareylambsunited). The idea is to publish photos and stories of fans who have met Mariah so that us lambs can share our experiences. If you would like to be a part of it and join the fun, email me your photo with Mariah (or concert photos) along with a short story or description to Mariahcareylambsunited@gmail.com (Friday 19 January 2018; 03:56)

Re: Rainbow tour live in Los Angeles (78,814) (78,816) by Philipp from Switzerland Mariah had a boxing match with Pamela Anderson? That makes me loves the Rainbow tour even more. (Saturday 14 October 2017; 20:21)

Emotional Rescue (78,815) by Philipp from Switzerland Check out this remix if you don't know it yet, it's amazing. It's an upbeat dance medley of Make It Happen, Emotions and Someday. I love it. Some of those adlibs in Emotions I had never heard before. (Saturday 14 October 2017; 20:16)

Rainbow tour live in Los Angeles (78,796) by Philipp from Switzerland This fan recorded audio of the Rainbow tour concert in Los Angeles surfaced. It’s quite a good quality. I’m totally obsessed with the Rainbow tour, I think this was her most creative show. I love the skits with Bianca. And the setlist is amazing. I still believe/Pure Imagination (only time she performed that one live), TGIFY/Make It Last, Crybaby, Close My Eyes, Petals and CTTA. I'm in heaven. I so wish I could have gone to the Rainbow tour. Any members here that saw her live in that area and can share their experience? (Friday 13 October 2017; 01:27)

Re: Is there any soso track on MIAMTEC? (78,003) (78,014) by Philipp from Switzerland I love MIAMTEC. I still listen to the album a lot. Its tracks are on my top 25 of most listened songs on iTunes. I love how she tells a story through the album. You can tell she was going through stuff (with Nick, obviously). The only so so tracks are Thirsty and Money. (Tuesday 22 August 2017; 06:03)

Re: Daydream (75,745) (75,746) by Philipp from Switzerland Daydream is the my least favorite Mariah album, just because it doesn't have a good "flow" to it. It's not one of the albums I listen from beginning to end like MIAM. Please don't hate me lol. (Friday 26 May 2017; 02:05)

Mariah on WWHL - aftershow (74,960) by Philipp from Switzerland I don't think we talked about this interview yet, it's a great interview from the aftershow of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen back in december 2016. This interview is better than the actual interview they aired on TV. (Thursday 4 May 2017; 00:28)

Re: Me I Am Mariah sequencing (73,313) (73,314) by Philipp from Switzerland I love that the album starts with Cry. It reflects her feelings at that time and kinda set the mood for the album. In my opinion, MIAM is her "saddest" record because many of the songs are clearly about Nick. (Friday 3 March 2017; 6:53)

Re: Simplicity is beautiful (72,996) (73,010) by Philipp from Switzerland What about Heartbreaker, It's Like That and We Belong Together? (Tuesday 21 February 2017; 23:19)

Re: Charmbracelet on replay (71,468) (71,472) by Philipp from Switzerland Thank you for making me listen to Charmbracelet today. I love The One and I Only Wanted. (Friday 20 January 2017; 3:06)

Re: MW Ep 6 - Hero (71,426) (71,432) by Philipp from Switzerland Side note: The fan footage they show during the Hero performance is from Zurich, not from Paris. They showed me and I wasn't at her concert in Paris. (Wednesday 18 January 2017; 19:08)

Re: Camouflage or Close My Eyes (71,151) (71,153) (71,167) by Philipp from Switzerland it's tough to say which song I like better. I like both songs, because they are very personal. I really love the live version of "Close My Eyes" at the Rosie O Donnel Show. She sings it so emotional and you can really tell how she is feeling the lyrics. Especially the bridge is amazing. The album version on the other hand is more "quiet". (Wednesday 11 January 2017; 20:38)

Re: Battle of the interludes / 2 minute songs (66,521) (66,550) by Philipp from Switzerland Rainbow. (Wednesday 21 September 2016; 16:29)
