About Bobby A from United States: I have been a Lamb since 1990. I know Mariah. I love her music. I breathe her music.

Re: New era (83,641) (83,646) by Bobby A from United States Exciting cryptic messages. This stuff is starting now. Lol. (Monday 10 September 2018; 22:22)

Re: Tamia Passion Like Fire (83,628) (83,635) by Bobby A from United States You are so right. Great album. (Monday 10 September 2018; 05:40)

Jazmine Sullivan vocal style comparison (83,623) by Bobby A from United States I read on the internet that Jazmine Sullivan considers her vocal style similar to MC. She said that she always had that raspy voice and tried to pattern her vocal style after Mariah. Her raspy voice bothered her until she learned to use her voice in middle school. I can really see the comparison in her music and vocal arrangements. I hope that one of the surprise collaborations for MC15 is a collaboration with Jazmine Sullivan. Look at what she did for Mary J. Blige's biggest hit in years with Thick Of It. With MC's current vocal tone, I can see how a Jazmine Sullivan collaboration could really make MC shine on MC15. I really believe MC15 is going to be winning praises from everyone in the music industry when it debuts. It is going to be this year's Reputation. If MC15 doesn't debut in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200, I will not make anymore posts on MCArchives. I promise I will keep my word. I return to my reader status only. Top 5 MC15. Lol.

EW Fall Music Preview (83,616) by Bobby A from United States We will know for sure that the album is coming out this Fall if MC is featured in EW's Fall Music issue. The issue will hit news stands next week. Also USA Today's Fall Music Preview will come out next week. Something is about to happen soon. (Saturday 8 September 2018; 00:15)

Prince Charlez (83,582) by Bobby A from United States He has a great YouTube interview video about how he got his start as a songwriter. His mentor was RedOne (Lady Gaga). They wrote Usher's More together. His songwriting style is very aggressive and hard hitting including his own solo work. He sort of reminds me of Jermaine Stewart and his flamboyant personality. He fits the profile in how MC chooses collaborators. He is young, fresh, unique and a catchy songwriter. Reminds you of JD, right. I guess Rihanna's Needed You made her want to collaborate with him. Check out his song Bitty. Hilarious song title but catchy lyrics and melody. He dances really good in the video. If you want to hear him sing a ballad he wrote, check out Mary J. Blige's Smile. He can really sing. We may just get another Butterfly album really soon. (Tuesday 4 September 2018; 04:40)

The truth will come out (83,574) by Bobby A from United States Stellazilla must be broke now. She really has nerve to openly blackmail Mariah. She really was a dark time in Mariah's life professionally and personally. She is like an itch that won't go away. I know MC should stay quiet but I hope she has shade track on the new album about Stella. (Monday 3 September 2018; 04:37)

Re: Music Box songs ranked (83,565) (83,566) by Bobby A from United States I totally agree. I feel that MC15 is going to be Music Box and Butterfly rolled up into one. I sure hope MC worked with Jazmine Sullivan on a couple of songs for MC15. I am predicting the first single in a couple of weeks right before iHeart. (Sunday 2 September 2018; 14:13)

Vegas last night (83,542) by Bobby A from United States MC looked and sounded freaking amazing last night. Point blank. Wow. Nothing else to say. (Saturday 1 September 2018; 12:38)

New snippet (83,541) by Bobby A from United States Has anybody seen the video of Mariah singing "I know you thought it was a sample" over and over again? A male's voice can be heard saying "hey Mimi". The video originated from Nick's Instagram with him listening to it with his posse. The beat and vocals gave me chills just listening to her sing. (Saturday 1 September 2018; 03:37)

#Beautiful airplay (83,536) by Bobby A from United States It is hard to believe that #Beautiful was the last big radio hit MC has had. Despite being MC's best song since Obsessed, the only reason it did so well on the charts was because Def Jam had a promo with radio stations to play it every hour all day when it was released. Why did it stall at number #15? It will be interesting to see what radio promo Epic/Rod Nation comes up with for the first single. I just hope radio embraces her with the new single. She needs a big performance after it is release to maximize the song's potential on the charts. For example - Carrie Underwood's Cry Pretty at that big country awards show. My has gone right now which one. Lol. (Friday 31 August 2018; 19:32)

Re: With You I'm Born Again (83,524) (83,526) by Bobby A from United States mercyjames678@gmail.com. Thank you. (Thursday 30 August 2018; 14:23)

Re: With You I'm Born Again (83,521) (83,525) by Bobby A from United States Great. Thank you. (Thursday 30 August 2018; 14:23)

With You I'm Born Again (83,519) by Bobby A from United States Does anybody have a mp3 of this song from the VH1 Saves The Music special? This duet with John Legend is up there with Endless Love with Luther Vandross. Total classic vocal delivery by Mariah and John Legend. (Thursday 30 August 2018; 02:57)

Before iHeart (83,511) by Bobby A from United States I am just wondering during the next 3 week's before the iHeart Music Festival will we have the first single, the title of the album, release date, the tracklisting and surprise collaborations? I am hoping for three collaborations: The Weeknd, Post Malone, and Drake. She has to be smart with choosing the first single because one wrong choice will disappoint us, radio, and critics. So MC has to choose a first single that makes a statement that Mimi is back. It needs to remind us why we fell in love with Mimi. Something like Fantasy or Honey or Touch My Body would make a statement. Post Malone or Drake as a feature will make people want more and radio play her again. Maybe Cardi B or Chris Brown or Ed Sherran feature would give Mimi that radio airplay that she needs so badly. Just thinking before bed listening to radio. Guess who came on the radio again? Cardi B. Lol. Oh well, we need to do something special to help her downloads and radio airplay with the first single. Any ideas? (Wednesday 29 August 2018; 05:21)

Re: people.com (83,497) (83,498) by Bobby A from United States This is her last chance to shine at the top. She is going to deliver this time. With production and hit making songwriting skills by Poo Bear, No ID, Bobby Ross Avila, Diane Warren, Prince Charlez, Crystal Nicole, and a few other surprise collaborations, she has to be destined to deliver the best R&B album of 2018. I bet the album is already titled and tracks sequenced. I am sure Jay Z, Tyran Smith, and Sylvia Rhone all have heard the album and given MC a thumbs up. (Tuesday 28 August 2018; 00:43)

Re: people.com (83,492) (83,496) by Bobby A from United States Be patient. Lol. A true artist can't rush a masterpiece. We are in store for something really big soon. I told y'all the album was coming this year. Let the new era begin. (Monday 27 August 2018; 20:56)

Re: Top 5 fall most anticipated albums (83,479) (83,481) by Bobby A from United States Correction: Carrie Underwood's Cry Pretty comes out September 14th. (Sunday 26 August 2018; 03:42)

Top 5 fall most anticipated albums (83,479) by Bobby A from United States 1. Mariah Carey - MC15 - Fall 2018 2. Culture Club - Life - October 26 3. Carrie Underwood - Cry Pretty - September 26 4. Janet Janet - JJ10 - Fall 2018 5. Zayn - Z2 - Fall 2018 6. Bubbling Under - Liam Payne - Fall 2018 7. Jason Derulo - Fall 2018 Carrie is going to have huge first week numbers. A more personal soulful and emotional Carrie will be revealed on the new album. Culture Club won't be a huge seller or garner any radio airplay, but the album will receive rave reviews. Janet just released her new song with Daddy Yankee. Her new album is going to lack promotion when it is released. She needs Virgin Records again. Zayn's new album may be pushed back for more studio time and for a hit single that is rising on the chart. His last four singles have flopped. I don't know why he is singing all this pop and not doing more R&B and alternative R&B. His voice is suited for both genres. And last our girl, Mimi is going to have huge first week numbers because no anticipation has been higher for a Mariah Carey album since TEOM. The album cover is going to be hot. MC15 will be a defining moment for her career just like Butterfly and TEOM. Are we ready? Because the first single is going drop really soon. I am predicting the album will be here in time for presents under the Christmas tree. Expect to be surprised with MC15. (Saturday 25 August 2018; 23:55)

MC15's mystery and Zayn (83,434) by Bobby A from United States First, why has Zayn's last three singles flopped for his forthcoming album? The album being released this year is not looking good at all. I have been tweeting for him to call in Johnta Austin or Chris Brown for that Pillowtalk hit. Second, I know I can't be the only one saying that out of all MC's last 14 albums, MC15 is the only one where the musical direction and the sound is such a mystery. We have no earthly idea what this album is going to sound like or the musical influences the album will carry. JD really didn't help the mystery by saying Mimi is going for an aggressive sound. I liked the sound of that when I first heard the word aggressive, but what does that actually mean in terms of the album's sound? I don't know how much more I can wait for the big announcement or the first single to drop. I am on pins and needles. Lol. I am glad she is now back in the studio. I just hope the album comes out in time for my Thanksgiving road trip to Chattanooga and Atlanta. Last Thanksgiving week, I blasted Sam Smith's The Thrill Of It All in Nashville all the way to Memphis. (Wednesday 22 August 2018; 03:53)

Re: Ariana Grande - Sweetener (83,405) (83,407) by Bobby A from United States I agree wholeheartedly with your review. But, all of the songs sound alike. Definitely a step down from Dangerous Woman. I almost bought it at Target today. MC is going to show everybody really soon how an new album should be cohesive, unique, innovative, and sonically on point. Are we ready for the new era? It is about to happen really soon. (Sunday 19 August 2018; 17:01)

Queen Aretha (83,399) by Bobby A from United States I have been so sad this week remembering the Queen Of Soul. She was one of greatest singers of all time. She will be missed but her music will live forever. (Saturday 18 August 2018; 14:52)

Re: Pre-releasing tracks (83,376) (83,380) by Bobby A from United States Yes, bring MC15 on. (Thursday 16 August 2018; 06:30)

New era (83,373) by Bobby A from United States When MC drops the new single ahead of her iHeart Music Festival performance, we will know that a new era is about to begin. Something big is about happen right after Labor Day. I just feel something aggressive is about to drop soon. (Wednesday 15 August 2018; 04:14)

Re: Aggressive music (83,355) (83,359) by Bobby A from United States Diane Warren sounds promising for MC15. Recording songs that are aggressive is the mindset she is going to need for a competitive fall music lineup starting in October. Whatever happened to the song they finished August of 2015 that Diane Warren tweeted about? And that reminds me, didn't Mariah tweet a picture of she, JD and Cristyle in the studio back in 2016 working on a new song? Will that song and the Busta Rhymes song come 2017 be considered for the new album? MC15 is coming this year. (Monday 13 August 2018; 01:12)

Re: New album title (83,350) (83,354) by Bobby A from United States Cool album titles but if the production credits looked like below then MC would have a stone cold winner for sure without a weird album title like in 2014. Seventeen tracks should hold us over for another 4 years before MC 16. 1. Jermaine Dupri/Bryan-Michael Cox 2. Detail/A1 Bentley 3. Jermaine Dupri/Bobby Ross Avila 4. Frank Dukes/Poo Bear 5. Fred Ball/Poo Bear 6. Harvey Mason Jr./Damon Thomas 7. DJ Mustard 8. Scott Storch/Poo Bear 9. Frank Dukes/Prince Charles 10. 1Mind 11. Fred Ball/Poo Bear 12. No ID/Metro Boomin 13. Max Martin/Ed Sherran/Greg Kurstin 14. Babyface/Antonio Dixon/Daryl Simmons 15. Nic Nac/A1 Bentley 16. Kirk Franklin 17. James Poyser (Saturday 11 August 2018; 23:11)
