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

Financial terrorism (109,050) by Bobby A from United States Lambi, can you find out if all is good with Walter A. and MC now in 2025? I like your paralegal skills and I know you can find out if the two dynamic collaborators are on good terms now. If he has 3-5 songs on MC16, then this era will be her second comeback for sure.

Financial terrorism (109,044) by Lambi from USA Thank you, darling - I truly appreciate your response. I do try to stay aware of what's happening. I'm not trying to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I genuinely believe Morgan is a plant, and we should be cautious. He's shown time and again that he'll do just about anything for a quick payout. Mariah is at a stage in her career where her success is not only undeniable - it's powerful. She confirmed a couple of years ago that she owns all of her masters: 86 singles and 15 studio albums, dating back to 1990. That level of ownership is incredibly rare, especially for someone who's not just the voice, but also the writer and producer. She's earning real revenue from her catalog, and that kind of power makes her a threat to certain people. We've seen a similar pattern before. When Michael Jackson began acquiring ownership of his music - and even the rights to other artists' catalogs - it triggered serious pushback from powerful forces. It wasn't subtle, and it wasn't fair. I wouldn't be surprised if Mariah ends up facing similar tactics. It's something we should all be paying close attention to. (Thursday 5 June 2025; 13:41)

Type: Dangerous (109,047) by Bobby A from United States Great. I was hoping that was the case. I want a video with a storyline with cliffhanger ending like in ILT. (Thursday 5 June 2025; 15:29) this is a reply to message 109,043

Type: Dangerous (109,043) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok so we have an update haha. Mariah Alerts posted that the snippets released are indeed teaser videos and not the music video. Thank God haha. (Thursday 5 June 2025; 13:30)

Article: Mariah announces "MC16" album coming this summer (109,040) by Bobby A from United States Jack Antonoff's production credits are impressive. I want to hear what the two have created. I am sure what Sabrina Capenter, Taylor Swift, Post Malone, and Sza have released in the past two years caught MC's attention. A sharper genre-blending sound is exactly what's happening on the pop charts these days. (Thursday 5 June 2025; 12:20) this is a reply to message 109,035

Article: Mariah announces "MC16" album coming this summer (109,035) by Tevin from USA I can't wait to hear this album. To think that Mariah may have finally listened to her fans and she is collaborating with new people, producers and singers, while also venturing into new genres. (Thursday 5 June 2025; 04:08)

MC16 (109,027) by Bobby A from United States Hot 97 New York is reporting MC16 is coming this summer. They said MC scrapped earlier versions of the project for a sharper genre-blending direction. Production from Jack Antonoff and a duet with country male singer Bailey Zimmerman is in the mix as well. (Wednesday 4 June 2025; 18:14) this is a reply to message 109,024

MC16 (109,024) by Stacey from USA 100% right. Though, a part of me can't help but want MC back on the radio with something so banging, radio has to play it. (Wednesday 4 June 2025; 17:12)

MC16 (109,026) by Bobby A from United States Yes, it was confirmed by Popcrave this morning that Anderson .Paak and Rae Khalil are co-writers. (Wednesday 4 June 2025; 17:42) this is a reply to message 109,019

MC16 (109,019) by Shezz from Pk 100% agreed Edward. It's so good to see all the lambs excited again for something big. This month we're going to have 2 exciting days. First on the 6th for the all weather lambs with T:D which obviously will be an uptempo banger - most probably with A. .Paak's production and writing (Bobby A is that official?) and secondly a Walter A. produced ballad for the old school lambs on the 27th. June is going to be good. It will be interesting to see which of the 2 the lambs and the general public respond more to. I've gotta say she has taken her time but planned this well. Releasing the new single right after reminding everyone of and celebrating TEOM was a smart move. (Wednesday 4 June 2025; 13:47)

Type: Dangerous (109,021) by Bobby A from United States Yes. I like 'em dangerous too, Mimi. MC delivered this time. I am so happy. I will elaborate later. (Wednesday 4 June 2025; 15:24) this is a reply to message 109,007

Type: Dangerous (109,007) by Stacey from USA Sounds very current. Short and sweet. (Wednesday 4 June 2025; 00:10)

MC16 wish list (109,011) by Bobby A from United States Randy, I believe MC got our memo after seven years. Lol. I really feel MC16 is going to be a perfect match of great vocals and tracks to go with MC's current voice. These new songs definitely will not be sung in the key of Emotions or Fantasy. We will find out Friday hard she has been working in the studio for past 4 years. (Wednesday 4 June 2025; 01:25) this is a reply to message 109,005

MC16 wish list (109,005) by Randy from USA Well, I know it ain't gonna happen but since I have a little extra time. I'd like an Adele-like album. No rap. No r&b. No vocal layering. No wall of background singers. Just her and piano or her and guitar. Some love songs mixed in with some hope songs mixed in with some introspective songs. Imagine a quiet album with songs as stripped down as Languishing, Close My Eyes, My All, With You, Camouflage, Vanishing, Music Box, Looking In, Reflections, Petals, Cry, Portrait. And for the voice. Maybe keep it down to what can be replicated live even if the venue is too cold, too hot, missing an umbrella holder, short circuits ear monitors, has no running water for humidifiers, only let you in with less than 7 hours sleep. And only use the whistle twice. Yeah, that would be a dope album. (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 20:34)

Type: Dangerous (109,010) by Bobby A from United States MC loves provacative song and album titles. I just wonder if Type: Dangerous is a poke at the men who have had some type affect on her life and how she approaches new relationships now. I listened to Obsessed and Clown today just to wonder what MC will say in T:D. By the way, the distorted video and audio today was a genius move along with MC wearing the t-shirt. The song we heard in the background of today's video had a flow to it reminisce of the 70s the Jones Girls classic, You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else. Anyway at least we know T:D isn't GTFO or I Don't with Anderson .Paak and Rae Khalil co-writing. (Wednesday 4 June 2025; 00:35) this is a reply to message 109,004

Type: Dangerous (109,004) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Title confirmed with MC's new post. I'm glad she didn't have a breakdown that we figured out the title and scrap the project hahah. I'm intrigued. I know Mariah takes risks in her music but I never associate the word "dangerous" with Mariah but I'm here for it. (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 20:24)

MC16 (108,992) by Bobby A from United States Stacey, I didn't have any side dishes ready, but I do have some tea today. Type: Dangerous samples Eric B. Is President and possibly Dennis Edward's Don't Look Any Further. I suspect that Anderson .Paak produced T:D because he loves to use 70s and 80s samples. MC said at her Mimi anniversary Spotify listening party yesterday that "We will know a whole lot of things on June 6th." She is one of the Ultimate Icon honorees at the BET Awards on June 9th. Also, she will be performing as well. It is going around on the web that MC has signed a distribution deal with Atlantic Records. Finally, Kristofer Buckle replied to a fan yesterday on his Instagram account about MC16 and he said, "It's worth the wait." I guess Anderson .Paak probably said to MC let's create some new music and get your album completed. (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 10:56) this is a reply to message 108,986

MC16 (108,986) by Stacey from USA I said MC16 was never going to happen. Crow is for dinner tonight. Bring your favorite side dishes. (Tuesday 3 June 2025; 08:36)

MC16 (108,976) by Bobby A from United States Tevin, you are a wonderful Lamb. Apologies accepted. Thank you. I enjoy your posts as always. I am so excited today that new music is on the way. Is WYT the follow-up to ILT? Anyway, maybe my dysgraphia will get under control now. I have been messing up my posts with a lot of grammar errors lately. (Monday 2 June 2025; 22:25) this is a reply to message 108,966

MC16 (108,966) by Tevin from USA I want to publicly apologize to Bobby A, for doubting that MC16 was coming. Your optimism paid off, looks like a new era is about to start. (Monday 2 June 2025; 18:44)

MC 16 (108,974) by Bobby A from United States Yes, you did Shezz. My mind became faded and went somewhere it didn't need to go. Lol. Patience is a virtue. (Monday 2 June 2025; 21:19) this is a reply to message 108,961

MC 16 (108,961) by Shezz from Pk Well - it looks like the drunk / addict / washed up / has been / stroke survivor / Christmas only act still has a little more left to say to us after all. Robert Anthony I told you not to lose hope but you kept creeping into the dark side. (Monday 2 June 2025; 17:40)

MC16 (108,965) by Bobby A from United States Lol. I spilled my coffee. The Mimi Sessions was a clue that missed. MC said don't count me out yet Lambs. MC16 is on the way. (Monday 2 June 2025; 18:08) this is a reply to message 108,955

MC16 (108,955) by Max from Germany I can just scream. (Monday 2 June 2025; 15:57)

Music Box vs Daydream (108,964) by Bobby A from United States Lambi, sorry for thinking you were also Baby from Dreamville. Your posts are simliar in length and style to Baby from Dreamville. Maybe he or she will post today. I am glad you are here on the board. Please stick around for as long as you would like. I hope you understand that we are a tight group of board members who only want the best for MC. We have been through all of MC's highs and lows in the past 30 years. We can get very defensive questioning some of her professional decisions. However, it seems like we can all be happy again today because MC16 is finally on the way. (Monday 2 June 2025; 18:05) this is a reply to message 108,950

Music Box vs Daydream (108,950) by Lambi from USA That's a new one. I'm very new here. Please show me this baby you speak of. I'd like to see if he is as strong debater and doesn't resort to calling anyone a "yasss queen". But the bone I pick with Edward is because he made a big deal with me saying Mariah is avoiding wrinkles. Which btw, is a very verifiable fact. I'm just throwing the ball back way harder now because you don't do that to new comers. I'm finding out he's rather weak in debate and can't actually defend why he believes what he believes. His points are easily debunkable and he can't present you any fact. [censored] He made fun of Mariah. A couple people stood up for Mariah and called him nasty. He now then say "wow okay I guess I'll just hibernate aw I'm so sad". Its like he did the bullying and now he's the victim. Do you see the level of derangement? And with you? I don't have any problem. You're rather polite. We disagree with Solange's remix but you've never been rude. Hope this helps. (Monday 2 June 2025; 12:12)

Article: Mariah Carey teases 16th studio album (108,963) by Bobby A from United States This is a surprise this morning. What's Your Type? - must be the first single. Is that the question she asked Anderson .Paak? Lol. You know it is funny that we get this news today. I sent an X message yesterday to Rae Khalil, Anderson .Paak's songwriting partner asking her if WBT part 2 was on the way. Also, I sent an X message yesterday to MC, Barbra, Ariana, and some pop morning show radio hosts (Bert Ferguson, Elvis Duran, and IHeart Radio) if they were ready for One Heart One Voice to take over radio in 26 days. MC and her team must have plan to capitalize on the OHOV release this month. Are we ready for MC to take over radio this summer? Isn't this what we having wanting for 3 years? (Monday 2 June 2025; 17:50)

Music Box vs Daydream (108,948) by Bobby A from United States I thought my speculation three weeks ago was correct. Lambi is Baby from Dreamville's alternate ego. I could never pull off a second account knowing how my writing style and tone is so recognizable. Writing this post makes me think about how my old mate Andrew would call me out so many times for my opinions and predictions. Anyway, Lambi/Baby from Dreamville must be watching how Y&R is dragging out this Aristotle Dumas huge reveal. (Monday 2 June 2025; 10:55) this is a reply to message 108,947

Music Box vs Daydream (108,947) by Edward from USA Your level of "yass queen" delusion is impressive, congrats. Mariah is definitely the better overall artist, but neither she nor Celine could touch Whitney when it comes to pure vocal power and resonance. So, before you and your other account keep hyping each other up in your little echo chamber, take several seats. If you're going to reply to a certain post, at least make some sense. (Monday 2 June 2025; 06:28)

Whisper tone (108,944) by Bobby A from United States MC stopped singing in the whisper tone completely with MIAM and Caution. She either can't do it anymore or has realized what it did to her voice. I believe that she tried to do it on GTFO, but it didn't sound right for the Porter Robinson sample. The girly voice is what we got instead. (Sunday 1 June 2025; 20:44) this is a reply to message 108,942

Nasty, nasty comment (108,942) by Jamie from UK I also agree that the whisper voice she adopted contributed to damaging her voice. Not singing how she was meant to might have put strain on her voice. As said previously I think she chose to sing in this way, is it possible in the earlier later years that she forgot how to sing? We heard a return to power voice during [Glitter] but then sling came [Charmbracelet], I don't mind the album but her voice is annoying at times with the whisper and I just think to myself "just sing properly". (Sunday 1 June 2025; 16:21)

Nasty, nasty comment (108,936) by Bobby A from United States Bill, don't you dare go back into hibernation. I am enjoying you posting again. The newbies weren't around during MC's glory days like most of us. We remember when we were like that handsome guy in the Hero video who was shaking his head in awe of MC's excellent vocal skills and technique at 3:10. (Sunday 1 June 2025; 02:56) this is a reply to message 108,925

Nasty, nasty comment (108,925) by Bill from the UK Correct, I am sad and unhappy that Mariah Carey is now nothing but a shadow of her former glorious and wonderfully captivating self. You and your kind can continue ignoring it. Perhaps I'll go back into hibernation again and pretend this isn't happening. Mariah I pray you get the help you need, God bless you always. (Saturday 31 May 2025; 14:48)

Say Somethin Solange remix (108,935) by Bobby A from United States In my Arnold voice from Different Strokes, whatcha talkin bout Lambi? Lol. Solange has a sound that millions of R&B fans love. Cranes In The Sky won her a Grammy award. She added the Solange vibe to Say Somethin. I am writing your post in my Mariah book. Lol. (Sunday 1 June 2025; 02:43) this is a reply to message 108,923

Say Somethin Solange remix (108,923) by Lambi from USA Nah real recognize real? it was indeed trash. Garage band vibes lmfao. (Saturday 31 May 2025; 13:43)

Nasty, nasty comment (108,928) by Bobby A from United States We all believe MC has one more great album in her. We just got to get through all of the bumps and curves in the road to get there. I feel we are going find out this year why it is taking her so long to release a new album. At the moment some of her current decisions and behaviors are concerning. It is almost reminisce of her personal and professional struggles between 1999-2001 just without the media coverage. The media is just cutting her some slack right now because there are too many other celebrities more newsworthy right now. I guess we should be thankful that they are leaving MC alone. (Saturday 31 May 2025; 17:53) this is a reply to message 108,916

Nasty, nasty comment (108,916) by David from USA "2. Alcohol is known as one of the absolute worst things for a singing voice. Mariah's voice being damaged beyond repair (to the point that a number of us unprofessionals on this board can probably sing Hero better than she can and with no lipping) suggests she has indulged too much in this vice." Another fan disparaging and mocking Mariah with one of the most offensive comments I've seen yet (the part in parentheses). I feel sorry for you, buddy - you and all the lambs on here who wile away your hours hurting the woman who profess to love must have very sad, very unhappy to have to act out in this way.

Mariah Carey had 50-11 nose jobs but still insecure about "bad side"? (108,909) by Bobby A from United States I love your analysis of MC's voice as always. I believe MC sings I Am Free as a Sunday morning hymn. I have felt always that MC became emotional during the recording of I Am Free. Maybe that is the disjointed melisma that you hear. I feel Christian singers Laura Daigle and Brandon Lake never sound the same from album to album. Both singers have unique raspy voices that both use for the emotional effect in their songs, especially Lauren Daigle. (Friday 30 May 2025; 19:07) this is a reply to message 108,899

Mariah Carey had 50-11 nose jobs but still insecure about "bad side"? (108,899) by Bill from the UK I'm surprised more people don't notice the difference from Merry Christmas to Daydream vocally. Most sight Butterfly as when he voice began to decline and change, but for me Daydream was the beginning of the end. It was just masked by good songs, good production, and confidence on the stage when performing. Main call-outs for you all to review is that her melisma became disjointed, most noticeable on songs like I Am Free. She breaks it up rather than just singing straight through the melody like she did on all her albums beforehand. Then all the body from her voice went too, best displayed by When I Saw You and Long Ago. She still sounds great but there was a very noticeable shift at this point. As this was before her alcoholism then the nose job would be the most likely cause for the change. (Friday 30 May 2025; 08:28)

Say Somethin Solange remix (108,902) by Bobby A from United States Terna, your MC and Solange collaboration has come to fruition. Shezz, you made of aware first about Nostradamus' X post last year. The remix hits at a different level for MC. It is so Solange. It was released last night at midnight for the TEOM 20th anniversary. Can you imagine how MC and Solange would sound together on a new song with Solange's production style? (Friday 30 May 2025; 12:48)

Mariah Carey had 50-11 nose jobs but still insecure about "bad side"? (108,897) by Bobby A from United States How could it be? MC's voice in 1995 was clear and strong. The Fantasy intro whistle is her best whistle note ever. Melt Away is pure bliss to one's ear. I just wonder now does MC has any regrets about any cosmetic surgery that she had done. I feel we will see a more open and forthcoming MC this Christmas season about a lot of things she been through since Caution's release. Some network is going to offer her a huge figure for a sitdown tell all interview this Christmas season. (Friday 30 May 2025; 02:52) this is a reply to message 108,893

Mariah Carey had 50-11 nose jobs but still insecure about "bad side"? (108,893) by Bill from the UK Mariah came to terms with her (non-existent) bad side years ago and has said as such in her interview. It is pretty clear and obvious she has had a small nose job, and a large breast job, since 1990. The nose job is incredibly subtle but clearly impacted her voice and happened during 1995. It is obvious as it was the first major change in her voice, that became more nasally and brassy on Daydream, and lost its body. That I chalk up to the nose job. The most noticeable breast augmentation was in 1999 when Rainbow launched, but there was talk of a smaller one in 1994, but not so sure about that. (Thursday 29 May 2025; 14:20)

Recording contract (108,889) by Bobby A from United States Is it possible that MC doesn't have a recording contract? It could explain why MC16 has not come to fruition. Record labels loan artists money to record an album and deliver it in a certain timeframe to the label for approval, mastering, and packaging. Surely, if she had a recording contract, MC16 would have been released by now. MC16 has been nothing but "talk" for the last 4 years. Janet Jackson is in the same situation. That is the reason why Janet keeps going on tour so much. She doesn't have a recording contract either. It was never like this in the 70s and 80s for artists when they reached the ages of MC and Janet. Will it happen to Taylor Swift in 15 years? (Thursday 29 May 2025; 05:12)

Europe (108,882) by Bobby A from United States Nice. I will check out Croatia on the web as I plan my first trip to Europe. (Wednesday 28 May 2025; 01:12) this is a reply to message 108,881

Europe (108,881) by Zachariah from Croatia Croatia is a must to see. Beuatiful coastline and nice people. (Tuesday 27 May 2025; 23:39)

Europe (108,869) by Bobby A from United States Okay. I am planning my first trip to Europe in 2026. I know I want visit Capri where MC recorded some tracks from Charmbraclet. (Monday 26 May 2025; 18:54) this is a reply to message 108,868

One Heart, One Voice (108,868) by Edward from USA I've always thought Walter was the guy on "Whenever You Call". Bobby A, please don't tell me he's not the guy on "The Beautiful Ones". If he isn't, I'll be totally devastated. I think I need help. Help me. Is that the police? Whitney said loud and clear that crack was wack, just in case. (Monday 26 May 2025; 17:18)
