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

Mariah's next masterpiece (40,714) by Bobby A from United States I really have this gut feeling that one of Mariah's cover will be "Saturday Love" by Cherelle and Alexander. It was written and produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Now it makes sense why Maxwell was so excited by doing a song with Mariah and why Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are involved with the duet. Mariah is looking foward to collaboration with Young Jezzy produced by Mike Will Made It because Island Def Jam didn't release "Side Effects" as a single back 2006. As far as the album we should have production from the following producers: Hitboy (3 songs), Rodney Jerkins (2 songs), Walter Aftansieff (1 song), The Dream (2 songs), Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (1 song), James "Big Jim" Wright (2 songs), Mike Will Made It (1 song), Q-Tip (1 song) (Jermaine Dupri) (3 songs), Bryan-Michael Cox (1 song), Kirk Franklin or PJ Morton (1 song), Miguel and Happy Perez (1 song) and Boi 1da (1 song) and hopefully a new song by DJ Camper or Babyface with features from Miguel, R. Kelly, Stevie Wonder, Nas, Wale, Young Jezzy, and Maxwell. This is going to be her best album of her career. What do you Lambs or Lambilies think about my predictions?

Mariah 2014 for massive impact in the first quarter (39,406) by Bobby A from United States Hey lambs. I really feel that we won't get a new single or album until January 2014 (single) and March 2014 (album). I say this because: Why would Mariah Carey release any new music during the last three months of the year? There is not enough time now to promote and maximize album sales. I really feel her new team has decided to wait for a huge single debut at the first of the year. She will have a massive TV/radio campaign that will lead into the album's release. I am sure her team will come up with something like Justin Timberlake did at the Grammys and on Jimmy Fallon. And forget about the album being title "The Art Of Letting Go". The song may be great, but not a title for Mariah to reclaim her throne. She needs a title that will stick in the minds of the listening public. So if it means I have to wait until January for new music, then I am willing to give Mariah that support to put out some great music next year. Do you think my gut feeling is right?

Mariah and Island Def Jam (38,711) by Bobby A from United States Lambs. Lambily. I would not be surprise if "The Art Of Letting Go" ends up being Mariah's last album for Def Jam. She would have fulfilled her current contract when the album is released. And plus, Def Jam does not support and promote their artists anymore. Hence, A&R department messed over E=MC2 and Memoirs. I blame Def Jam for their lack of promotion and singles choices for these two albums. I know exactly what label Mariah will end up on... Epic Records/L.A. Reid. He loves Mariah and they have a awesome relationship. We just have to wait and see when "The Art Of Letting Go" is released. Something tells me that #Beautiful will end up being a buzz single, but on the album. I predict that on 07/23 (Mariah's surprise for the true fans) will be the release of the Mike Will Made It track with Young Jezzy. It makes sense to release it as the official first single because every artist that releases one of his songs, he or she ends up having a major radio hit. You all know his music and beats. They are a radio programmer's dream song. Mike Will himself said that the track was a banger. I have a feeling that the track is going to a very subtle shade track for Mariah's haters and Nicki Minaj. The Art Of Letting Go will probably be released in October. Just two more months lambs. By the way, the Fall is a better time to release a new album anyway. (Tuesday 16 July 2013; 22:03)

Mariah's voice / reasons for the album being pushed back (38,538) by Bobby A from United States Mariah's voice just needs some rest. She has recorded probably about 100 songs for this new album. She does all of her own vocal layering and background vocals. Wouldn't your voice need some rest as well? Let us not worry, I am pretty sure she knows this and that is why chose a pre-recorded track for the BET Awards. I feel the real reason the album was pushed back is because #Beautiful has not made it into the Top 10. Why would Def Jam release a new album without a major hit to support it? I believe Mariah moving foward is going to be less revealing about who she is in the studio with. I am hoping for a Ryan Tedder or Greg Kursten or Mario Winans collaboration. She needs a major radio #1 song before the label will release the album. I am praying that she gets that WBT moment that will have Def Jam executives jumping up and down. The new album probably won't come out until October. I would love to see her forget about her vocal flaws and give us something organic from her heart that is stripped down to nothing but a piano and some climatic strings. Her voice is still there and people would fall in love with her again if she gives us the old Mariah. That is all we want at this point. (Tuesday 2 July 2013; 22:51)

"#Beautiful" remix Is needed and Mariah's voice (38,208) by Bobby A from United States I think Mariah should record a remix with Miguel and Kendrick Lamar or Future produced by Mike Will Made It. I feel "#Beautiful" just needs that extra boost for more radio spins. There is not anything wrong with Mariah's voice. She stills has a great instrument. Her performances are spectacular when she is comfortable with her environment. Hint: Remember when she performed on George Lopez in 2010. That performance was her best since the 2006 Grammy Awards. Mariah will have the album of the summer. I can't wait for the haters and naysayers to wake up and say Mimi is back. (Monday 10 June 2013; 17:41)

New era of RnB with Miguel (37,600) by Bobby A from United States If it is true, Mariah has made a very smart decision to record a duet with Miguel. He's fresh and a incredible songwriter and singer. I can't wait to hear America's reaction to their creation. Lambs, are you ready for Mimi's best album since EMOM? (Tuesday 23 April 2013; 17:12)
