About Robert-Anthony from United States: I have been a Lamb since 1990. I know Mariah. I love her music. I breathe her music.

DFAU (107,444) by Robert-Anthony from United States Right. I am trying to figure out how many awards shows has MC done an orginal/dance remix type of performance. I know the Heartbreaker/Love Hangover performance was released on a maxi CD single as well. If she does that type of performance for DFAU, it would be really cool. This is definitely the AMAs to record on your DVR to watch later during the holiday season. (Wednesday 2 October 2024; 23:24) this is a reply to message 107,443

DFAU (107,443) by jaker20 from US This reminds me of Toni Braxton's remix performance of Unbreak My Heart remix, and also Mariah's own My All version at Diva's Live where she switched the end from ballad to upbeat, dance remix. That's what she should do with DFAU. Lambs don't seem to consider this song as one of her best, but I personally love it. But I would love a good twist. (Wednesday 2 October 2024; 22:45)

DFAU (107,442) by Robert-Anthony from United States Thanks, Mimi. That is what she should do for DFAU. It was #1 on two Billboard dance charts in 2006. Many people will think it is new version for the ceremony. MC could record new vocals just like she did for Portrait earlier this year and use for the ceremony. Oh well, her performance will be a surprise to us all on Sunday. (Wednesday 2 October 2024; 11:57) this is a reply to message 107,441

DFAU (107,441) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So basically she did a mashup of the original with the Morales remix. Like she does a mash up for WBT with WBT desert storm remix during some performances. You can find the mashed up version on her Spotify, under the My All EP. (Wednesday 2 October 2024; 04:07)

DFAU (107,439) by Robert-Anthony from United States It might be just DFAU so that she is able to put on a great performance about six minutes long ending with the Quentin Shelter remix. I am just hoping for a dance performance of DFAU. Someone enlightened me in my old age, the dance version of My All that MC performed on the VH1 Diva's special, was that a version she sang just for the special or is that one of the My All 12 inch remixes? I can't remember and my MC records are mixed in with my vinyl records scattered all around my apartment. (Tuesday 1 October 2024; 23:04) this is a reply to message 107,438

DFAU (107,438) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes off the promo but also in Mariah's statement she says she will be performing "a song". (Tuesday 1 October 2024; 13:53)

DFAU (107,436) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC will probably include DFAU in the medley since it did help MC sell a million more copies of TEOM. I just hope she doesn't open the ceremony. I want her to have this huge introduction and performance somewhere in the middle of the ceremony. It just seems right for a female artist who is the Diana Ross of our time.

DFAU (107,435) by Shezz from Pk Mimi L. are you basing that off the promo Mariah posted featuring DFAU? Billboard and another site reported a medley - I think she'll definitely do a medley. She has so many songs to choose (based on her celebration tour) from it - could be really fun: It's like that Shake it off We belong together Circles Your girl Don't forget about us Fly like a bird Or as you said, maybe a mash up. I hope she gets creative. (Tuesday 1 October 2024; 07:38)

(107,434) by Robert-Anthony from United States I guess we will know how worse her voice has gotten. Thank you for your response, Shezz. I am going to move on from this topic about MC's voice. (Monday 30 September 2024; 23:57) this is a reply to message 107,430

(107,430) by Shezz from Pk Robert Anthony, I think we are forgetting the live performances she was giving early last year. I made an effort not to see them because they made me uncomfortable. And if MC is one thing, she's self conscious and cares how she appears. I think she made a conscious decision after that that she'd rather fully lip and only look bad to the handful of us who notice rather than sound bad and off key to the entire world. To the average listener, the vocals she's recorded for this year's live shows seem very much live. Do I wish she could still sing live? Yes I do. Am I going to renounce my lambily passport if she keeps lipping? Never in a million years. I'm more interested in the music she releases to add to her catalog that I'll be listening to until I'm old and have no teeth. Will I care then whether she lipped or sang live 40 years ago in Beijing or Rio or Vegas? I think not. There are much bigger issues in the world to lose sleep over. (Monday 30 September 2024; 11:41)

(107,429) by Robert-Anthony from United States No, I am not trolling. Lol. Can a Lamb have hopes and dreams for MC to sing live without backing tracks? I have really had a concern lately for MC using backing tracks during live shows. The audience would really embrace her current voice, if she wouldn't make a big thing about it by using backing tracks so much. (Sunday 29 September 2024; 23:30) this is a reply to message 107,428

(107,428) by C from United States Are you trolling? (Sunday 29 September 2024; 20:40)

Reflections (Care Enough) (107,427) by Robert-Anthony from United States I did some research on Phillipe Pierre. He is Haitian and has written mostly for Haitian bands according to his Discogs page. MC is his first major artist he has collaborated with. Maybe Mary Ann or Melonie Daniels introduce Phillipe to MC through one of their friends. (Sunday 29 September 2024; 19:58) this is a reply to message 107,425

Reflections (Care Enough) (107,425) by BFF from United States It is really unique amongst her ballads. The liner notes indicate that she composed it with someone named Philippe Pierre. I've never heard her mention him in any interviews before, and I wonder how that collaboration came about. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are credited as co-producers on it. (Saturday 28 September 2024; 19:13)

Reflections (Care Enough) (107,424) by Robert-Anthony from United States There is something different how MC executed this gem on the Gliitter soundtrack. It just doesn't seem like a typical Mariah Carey ballad. (Saturday 28 September 2024; 01:55)

(107,421) by Robert-Anthony from United States I woke up this morning that knowing MC is going to perform live without a backing track. She can do it. We need to hear her current vocals live sung one or two keys lower. (Friday 27 September 2024; 13:15)

Kelly Clarkson (107,417) by Robert-Anthony from United States I love these Christmas rumours and how she is going MC30 this Christmas season. Sabrina and Kelly could definitely keep MC on everyone's Christmas list. What would really be cool is if the both of them joined MC on her annual it's time video. MC did say this summer that she had some surprises for us to celebrate the Merry Christmas 30th anniversary. (Thursday 26 September 2024; 22:34) this is a reply to message 107,414

Kelly Clarkson (107,414) by Shezz from Pk Haha It was just the one with her looking a little cross eyed. I didn’t save it. Also, insider rumour alert: Mariah x Sabrina. Probably MC30 and/ or SC’s Christmas special. That’s one smart step from Mariah if it’s true. Whatever SC has touched this year has gone top 2. It’ll definitely get her some of the attention she deserves beyond AIWFC. (Thursday 26 September 2024; 18:52)

AMA's (107,416) by Robert-Anthony from United States Oops, I see now that is a special anniversary ceremony. (Thursday 26 September 2024; 19:16) this is a reply to message 107,412

AMA's (107,412) by BFF from United States Billboard reports that she will perform a medley of songs from "The Emancipation of Mimi". (Thursday 26 September 2024; 15:26)

AMA's (107,415) by Robert-Anthony from United States Yes. The show is really early this year. It has been in November for awhile now. Maybe she will end the medley with FLB with huge choir moment. (Thursday 26 September 2024; 19:12) this is a reply to message 107,411

AMA's (107,411) by Jamie from UK Mariah [is] to perform at the AMA's on October 6th. I wonder what she will sing. (Thursday 26 September 2024; 14:39)

Brazil concert (107,407) by Robert-Anthony from United States Wow. I never knew about the Brazilian soap opera. I don't care what anyone says, no other female can sing a pop ballad like MC. I miss her singing pop ballads. She could sell easily 2 million albums in 2025 if MC16 had 7-10 pop ballads even with her current vocals. I would love for MC to cover Daryl Hall's Every Time You Go Away with a huge choir moment ft. an all male chorus. (Thursday 26 September 2024; 00:30) this is a reply to message 107,404

Brazil concert (107,404) by Carlos from Brazil The song was definitely fueled by a soap opera that was quite popular at the time called "Viver a Vida". The song was the theme for the character called Luciana who got on to live on a wheelchair after an accident. Her story is quite dramatic and she has a romantic relationship that was very beautiful and the song played on almost every scene she was. That is the main reason. The second is that Mariah is really loved here for those arena ballads. There are many older fans and older people in general here that really prefers her singing "Without You", "Hero" and I guess IWKWLI was a return for her ballader days and a less R&B/urban sound. (Wednesday 25 September 2024; 13:30)

Kelly Clarkson (107,406) by Robert-Anthony from United States This is something that I have been wanting for two years. MC and KC would sound so good together on a new Christmas song. Let's hope it happens this year. (Wednesday 25 September 2024; 23:50) this is a reply to message 107,403

Kelly Clarkson (107,403) by Todd from Sydney, Australia I just saw on KCs insta, she was doing a quick interview on her walk to set. She mentioned that she's excited about some music stuff she's been working on, to which the interviewer asked "Can we get any teasers?" Kelly replied "Ummm. She might like Christmas." Imagine if KC and MC teamed up. That would be incredible. (Wednesday 25 September 2024; 12:04)

Brazil concert (107,400) by Robert-Anthony from United States I am glad that you enjoyed yourself. You know she had to give a special surprise at the end and sing her signature song there. I often wonder why IWTKWLI resonated so with the citizens of Brazil back in 2009-2010. Carlos, do you know why? It had 27 weeks at number #1. It will probably always be the biggest song of her career in Brazil. (Tuesday 24 September 2024; 20:24) this is a reply to message 107,399

Brazil concert (107,399) by Carlos from Brazil It was absolutly a surreal experience. I felt like I was leaving my body. I've been a fan for 20 years so to see her in person was a life changing moment. I felt like she was like really real. Her voice is so pretty, her songwriting is awesome and she is one of the prettiest women ever. The Brazilian outfit and the butterfly dress is now iconic. I went to the São Paulo concert and it was as amazing as the Rock in Rio show, even better. Her Portuguese is cute. She came back for the IWKWLI without her shoes haha. 50k people singing with her. It was the happiest day of my life. (Tuesday 24 September 2024; 17:58)

Opening act (107,397) by Robert-Anthony from United States I knew my Sean Paul omission would bring you out of hibernation. Lol. (Tuesday 24 September 2024; 02:28) this is a reply to message 107,396

Opening act (107,396) by Edward from USA Sean Paul was the opening act for Mariah Carey's The Adventures of Mimi: The Voice, The Hits, The Tour. (Tuesday 24 September 2024; 00:53)

Opening act (107,395) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC really has never had an opening act on her tours, but Trey Lorenz when he opened for MC in support of his album Mr. Mista. Mary J. Bilge likes to headline tours with other R&B male artists to draw a huge head count and for the nostaglia of 90's R&B music. (Tuesday 24 September 2024; 00:02) this is a reply to message 107,394

Opening act (107,394) by Brandon from USA Mary J. Blige just announced a new tour and Mario and Neyo are opening for her. I wonder why MC doesn't tour with an opening act (other than an dj) especially since her shows are often short in duration in comparison to artists. Would [you] like to see her tour with an opening act or just MC? If so, who would [you] recommend? Ashanti? Joe? Brandy? (Monday 23 September 2024; 22:03)

Rose City Works (107,384) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC has linked a distribution deal with Rose City Works to sell the Merry Christmas 30th anniversary merchandise. MC has really out done herself this time with the MC30 anniversary celebration. There are 8 new vinyl, CD, and cassette Merry Christmas items available to order at: www.Mariahcarey.rosecityworks.com. I am sure the industry's wholesaler leader, Alliance Entertainment, will be allowed to sell some items to our local record shops after they sell out on the Rose City Works website. I am just hoping since I want in my hands one of the 3,000 copies produced Original Master Recording Ultra One-Step vinyl record. (Sunday 22 September 2024; 08:43)

Christmas shows (107,382) by Robert-Anthony from United States Are you feeling that this year's Christmas shows are going to be huge? MC is going to give her all during the 20-date tour. Her vocals lately are sounding amazing. (Saturday 21 September 2024; 23:11)

Mariah not socialising with the industry (107,379) by Robert-Anthony from United States Mimi has been on a different level since she became a mother to her twins. (Friday 20 September 2024; 22:35) this is a reply to message 107,376

Mariah not socialising with the industry (107,376) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That is actually not true, there are many photos of Mariah with Diddy post the 90s. Especially around TEOM era they were photographed together a lot including him being on stage with her at one of the TAOM shows. She had also shared in The Meaning of Mariah how Tommy had racist comments about Diddy when Diddy was new and how she defended his artistry when she was asked about it during some kind of gathering. All this doesn't mean she knew what he did and turned a blind eye, she very well could have had a very different experience with him where he wouldn't dare mess with her during the 90s due to Tommy and him being new and after that she was a bigger star than him. So it could be due to her having a different sort of experience with him she didn't know but it's not true that she cut him off after the 90s. A quick Google search will show many photos. [WebmasterL For example, see: Diddy made guest strip naked] (Friday 20 September 2024; 17:16)

Sabrina Carpenter Christmas (107,378) by Robert-Anthony from United States Thank you, Mimi. Taylor Swift's name raises any public figure to new levels. (Friday 20 September 2024; 21:25) this is a reply to message 107,373

Sabrina Carpenter Christmas (107,373) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Her team really put in the work this year, leading with getting her on the Eras tour which got the Swifties behind her. Right before that her 2 songs Nonsense and Feathers were somewhat popular. The Taylor endorsement helped. But she also put out some really catchy, easy to digest pop songs which had throwback good old pop days vibes and almost each song had those viral lyrics like "Espresso" with "I'm working late cause I'm a singer", then "please please please" with "I beg you don't embarrass me MF" which led to so many tiktok reels, and all her videos had very fun replay value. She also has her signature bombshell look down. She basically owned this year haha. I honestly only knew her in passing before she started on the Eras tour. (Friday 20 September 2024; 14:27)

Sabrina Carpenter Christmas (107,369) by Robert-Anthony from United States I am trying to understand her all of the sudden popularity right now. She is on Island Records. (Friday 20 September 2024; 08:22) this is a reply to message 107,367

Sabrina Carpenter Christmas (107,367) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Did you guys see the little teaser video Netflix posted about Sabrina's Christmas special? The video starts from her foot and she's dressed in a Mrs. Claus type outfit, and the camera pans upwards and reveals her face and she says, "Expecting someone else?" Kinda feels like she meant if we were expecting Mariah. And then under a comment about someone saying something about Mariah, Netflix replied with "imagine if they collaborate". Do you guys think Mariah may make a cameo? It'd be fun. Sabrina is fun and quirky and she basically owned this year with back to back bangers. Her song Nonsense reminds me a lot of Ariana-Mariah airy vocals love songs. (Friday 20 September 2024; 00:50)

Rainbow 25th annivesary vinyl (107,364) by Robert-Anthony from United States We are 29 days away from the release day. You will be able to purchase it from your local record store. (Thursday 19 September 2024; 01:27)

Industry problems vs. waning radio airplay (107,362) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC is in the same club as other R&B artists like Brandy, Eric Benet, Trey Songz, Keyshia Cole, Monica, Toni Braxton, and Robin Thicke. They all have not released an album since their last albums were not huge sellers and with waning radio airplay. So is it a music industry problem for older R&B artists or radio programmers just don't cater to older R&B artists anymore? All eight artists could release an album today and it would be better than what Urban AC radio is playing on the radio today by these new young artists. (Wednesday 18 September 2024; 10:20)

I hoped this wouldn't happen (107,356) by Robert-Anthony from United States When the author started throwing out all of those dollar amounts and talking about MC taking out mortagages on her Tribeca home, I knew the article was nothing but lies. (Tuesday 17 September 2024; 12:20) this is a reply to message 107,355

I hoped this wouldn't happen (107,355) by Lee from USA I wouldn't believe anything from the NY Post. It is owned by the same people who owns Fox News and the National Enquirer. Besides, she's stil the best selling female artist in American history. I never had no issue with her diva persona when rappers are given passes for being jerks. (Tuesday 17 September 2024; 11:25)
