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

Second hand (105,023) by Bobby A from United States Check it out if you ever get to the U.S. I lived there for 3 years after my first time in Atlanta from 2007 to 2011. (Saturday 20 January 2024; 23:24) this is a reply to message 105,021

Second hand (105,021) by MusicfanJ from Germany I would love to travel to the USA one day. Are you from Nashville? I love travelling in general. The place sounds good for a collector. 25 cents for a maxi single, best price. To buy second hand is really fun and good for the wallet. I started to buy used dvd's and cd's on Amazon Marketplace, the items were always in good condition. But if you're at a place where you can browse and a have a little conversation, that's even better for sure. (Saturday 20 January 2024; 17:32)

New projects (105,019) by Bobby A from United States That's a possibility. However, I don't think Mimi is going to want to compete with Ariana, Dua Lipa, Usher, and Justin Timberlake during the 1st quarter. I think a May to August release is probably what she is planning for. We have to get a management and new label annoucement before anything new is released. (Saturday 20 January 2024; 15:58) this is a reply to message 105,018

New projects (105,018) by Zachariah from Croatia I think by the end of March or maybe Valentines Day. (Saturday 20 January 2024; 14:35)

Andrew (105,012) by Bobby A from United States I could tell he was in an off mindset this week by some of his posts about Kim Kardashian and Nick Cannon. (Friday 19 January 2024; 21:32) this is a reply to message 105,007

Andrew (105,007) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wow speechless, but not surprised. We all are Mariah fans and sometimes we have strong feelings and we may not agree with each other and may even have strong debates, but it should never reach to the point of us calling each other names. When something like this happens, it just makes you feel like this isn't a safe space at all and that's why at times I just disappear for months at a time, but I do enjoy reading the other posters here and I am very grateful for Eric taking the time everyday to let us voice our opinions, that's why I'm always back. (Friday 19 January 2024; 15:13)

Randy's Right To Dream (105,003) by Bobby A from United States I played it today because of the Willie Nelson influenced chorus, the guitar lick and missing Randy's posts. Where are you Randy? Please come out of your sabactical at MVC. (Andrew let your whereabouts out of the bag.) (Friday 19 January 2024; 02:07)

Dating (105,001) by Bobby A from United States If you ever get to the U.S and travel to Nashville, Tennessee, checkout McKays Used Books, CDs, and DVD's, etc. If you are looking for anything, they will have it because the locals sell their unwanted items for cash or credit. They mark down scratched CDs to 25 cents. I found Britney's Toxic maxi single for 25 cents. That's how I built up my collection. You may even start a conversation with an old fellow looking for a Charlie Daniels or George Jones CD. Lol. (Thursday 18 January 2024; 21:00) this is a reply to message 105,000

Dating (105,000) by MusicfanJ from Germany I still buy cd's, books, dvd's and blu rays. I love it. I will never stop to collect real items. It's fun. Hunters and collectors as they say. (Thursday 18 January 2024; 19:53)

Dating (104,991) by Bobby A from United States Yeah, I don't like this cold weather either. Something seems weird about this January. Trump in the news again, arctic weather conditions, and the last season of Bob Hearts Abishola is just weeks away are making for a bleak January. Remember when L.A.Reid surprisingly sent ILT to radio before the official release date of January 25, 2005. That was a fun start to January 2005. ILT gave me hope for MC's next album. I was there at Spin Street on 01/25/05 buying the CD single. Do you remember that format? (Thursday 18 January 2024; 03:17) this is a reply to message 104,989

Dating (104,989) by Stacey from USA Seriously, I struggle with January too. It's cold and yeah bleak. Maybe Angels Cry is on his playlist too. (Thursday 18 January 2024; 01:35)

Kardariah (104,990) by Bobby A from United States Kris Jenner is managing Kanye West and Travis Scott. She doesn't need to accompany the rappers anywhere. She does their day to day managing on her phone and laptop. She could do wonders for MC's career. Kris Jenner in her mama Kris voice would tell Mariah, "Mimi this is what we should do." "Here's the negative side of that if we do it." (Thursday 18 January 2024; 02:59) this is a reply to message 104,968

Kardariah (104,968) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Glad you see my point of view and I agree with your post, I definitely think they've got some dealings going in the background. Mariah is only seen when she wants to be seen and if she's being seen with Kim there's a reason behind it. (Tuesday 16 January 2024; 23:36)

Will we see a new album this year? (104,986) by Bobby A from United States When she makes a X or Instagram video about a new song dropping, we will know that a new album is coming soon. (Wednesday 17 January 2024; 23:23) this is a reply to message 104,984

Will we see a new album this year? (104,984) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter What are your thoughts on if Mariah is actually going to drop an album this year? I read a lot of mixed reactions where some people are convinced she is definitely dropping something while others feel like we won't see anything anytime soon. I know some people are hopeful for Mariah's version of "Someone's Ugly Daughter" or the jazz album she has been mentioning. To be honest I don't care much for either of the above, although if she does release it I'll be happy for the lambs that already wanted it. But personally I would love new more mainstream music from Mariah. She's also been looking absolutely stunning and we know Mariah feels most confident with public appearances and performances when she is feeling her best. So I hope we hear something soon. I would also be interested in The Butterfly Lounge documentary but at this point I think she dropped it. I would love for her to document her next album drop where we see her as a songwriter and what goes behind the scenes of recording an album, the videos etc and release it over on streaming along with the album release.

Sweet, Sweet Fantasy Tour (104,973) by Bobby A from United States You are like Alexis on Dynasty. You hate to be wrong or not agreed with. Have you ever had a Dex Dexter in your life to sweep you off your feet? (Wednesday 17 January 2024; 01:13) this is a reply to message 104,971

Sweet, Sweet Fantasy Tour (104,971) by Andrew from the UK For a C-list manager who had "no business" managing the "music side" of Mariah's affairs, I would wonder who gets credit for the Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour - a tour so popular and well-received it seems on a par with the Daydream Tour. Oh well, must have just fallen into Mariah's lap along with the Vegas residency and the book deal. Nothing to see here. Meanwhile back at the ranch, Mariah goes to Nobu with a Kardashian and reality-trash-fans are wetting their knickers in glee. It's a funny ole world. (Wednesday 17 January 2024; 00:25)

K (104,970) by Bobby A from United States At least she is not friends with Tiffany Haddish. We all know the mess she is in right now. When you have money you have to align yourself with others who will help elevate you to the next level. Maybe MC likes Kim because she has stability and a business like mind. Despite all that Ye has taken her through, she still has provided stability for her kids. I am sure MC has noticed how Kim has held her family together to help her stay grounded for Roc and Roe despite Nick's other children were in the news so much for the past two years. Kim Kardashian is pretty to look at. I think that she has gained lots elegance and sophisication since she has become older. (Tuesday 16 January 2024; 23:54) this is a reply to message 104,965

K (104,965) by Andrew from the UK So, popular trash is good but unpopular trash is bad? What a ghastly, sinister view of the show-business. You can labour on (which doesn't seem to be a struggle for you) and vociferate all you like about the star-power of the Kardashians. But accept it as an axiom that anyone with a braincell, a quantum of class, and a modicum of respect for Mariah's career, would wish that she stay far away from anything Kardashian. Everyone else lacking a braincell can follow the example of somebody else who posts here whilst also hiding their real name, photo and location: have an opinion - just as long as it's the same as Mariah's opinion - and don't dare question her. What a blissful life it must be. Mariah Carey needs to return to a level of sophistication that the Kardashians do not represent. I would rather her retire than stoop to conquer. There's no "K" in "class". (Tuesday 16 January 2024; 23:02)

Kardariah (104,966) by Bobby A from United States It's A Wrap Tik Tok viral sensation helped them become friends. Kim and MC can have some girl talk time while their kids can have some playtime. (Tuesday 16 January 2024; 23:15) this is a reply to message 104,961

Kardariah (104,961) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You have to know there are different tiers of reality shows. Stella was through and through trash. Her content was cheap, and she had dragged Mariah's image down. You can't expect someone like Stella to land Mariah on covers of elite magazine or get elite brand deals. If the Kardashians were still considered trashy how are they on the A list to everything? How many other reality show stars get that level of fame? And maintain relevance close to almost two decades. Other than Mariah what is Stella's claim to fame? It's about the "money", it's about the connections/ power and what they do with it. Kim's everywhere, she's getting invited on freaking American Horror Story which has some of the best cast, same for SNL. Dolce and Gabbana created a whole line with Kim, something they have never done before. As hard as it to accept Kim K has left her C list image and climbed all the way up. She isn't on the Jersey Shore or Love Island type of reality star list. Stella is a C list reality star manager at best and that's what she'll always be. She had no business managing Mariah's affairs, not to mention being in charge of her music part of the business. (Tuesday 16 January 2024; 16:20)

Dating (104,960) by Bobby A from United States Thank you Mimi for your kind words. I hope MC surprises us all. (Tuesday 16 January 2024; 15:19) this is a reply to message 104,954

Dating (104,954) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Robert you're honestly such a sweetheart and we can tell you only hope for the best for Mariah and same for me I really want her to shut everyone up again. Also I completely agree with what you said about single choices. E=MC2 roll out will forever haunt me. She was coming off the high off the most iconic album of the 2000s and had a banger like TMB (with a bomb video) only to then release "Bye Bye" and ISIL? When she had "Migrate" which not only charted with no promo, but was exactly the kind of music that was dominating the radio and clubs in 08, plus had T-Pain and he was huge during that era. Migrate would have been the older sister of "It's like that" - a feel good, this night is mine, I'm feeling myself kind of song. (In today's climate it would sound a bit dated but 08 it would be bomb.) Then "I'll be loving you long time" should have been a summer anthem with proper promo. Next she had "I'm that Chick" and "Side Effects" that could have been singles. I will forever wonder why LA Reid picked the other songs . Don't get me wrong Bye Bye is a good song I listen to it, it gets me emotional because I can relate it to losing my grandmom, but you've got an album full of bangers that are single worthy and you kill the momentum with Bye Bye. Jeez. They tried too hard to recreate the "fun record followed by a big ballad" approach of TEOM, instead they should have made it the year of Mariah where she dominated all seasons - TMB to start bring some heat to the winter months, Migrate to kick of Spring, IBLYLT with the Summer of Mariah takeover and then Side Effects for the fall. And maybe For the Record for Winter again? Maybe even Love Story. After that it's fair game, you want to close with Bye Bye go for it lol. (Monday 15 January 2024; 22:41)

Dating (104,951) by Bobby A from United States I love it only from a man, Edward. Lol. I am not trying to be sexist. (Monday 15 January 2024; 22:04) this is a reply to message 104,950

Dating (104,950) by Edward from USA What an interesting topic. Robert-Anthony loves himself some British accent. He should chime in first. (Monday 15 January 2024; 21:30)

Dating (104,946) by Bobby A from United States Maybe I am too much to suggest DeVon Frranklin for MC to date, but you have to admit there have been too many hiccups launching her albums since E=MC2. I just scratched my head everytime the wrong single was chosen or an album promotional plan was poorly executed. I want her back on top for MC16. I know deep down in my heart that MC is going to do MC, but I can't help suggest my plan for getting her back on top of the charts. (Monday 15 January 2024; 16:41) this is a reply to message 104,945

Dating (104,945) by Libra Lamb from USA Or, imagine this, she should go back to dating when she's good and ready to and not when y'all think she should. Also, she should date the kind of person she wants to because no one here knows her well enough to say who she should and shouldn't date. Some of you have a lot of nerve to come here and dictate what she should and should not do. She's a human being, not your Barbie doll. She should also do the kind of music she wants to do, she's the artist after all, and feature rappers on every track of her new album if that's what her heart desires. I know my opinions are unpopular on this board so if someone doesn't like them they can scroll right past them like I do some of y'all. (Monday 15 January 2024; 16:12)

The reintroduction of Mariah Carey (104,943) by Bobby A from United States I like the way L.A. Reid and Usher are promoting his new album, Coming Home, which is going to be releases on the same day as his Super Bowl LVIII Half-time performance. He is bringing his career back home by working with producers and songwriters he had worked with in the past and some new producers. Maybe MC needs to do something similar that will reintroduce her back to the pop and R&B charts. I say a reintroduction because MC is going need an album promotional plan that is going make MC16 stay on the minds of music lovers. She needs a new team to help her accomplish reintroducing her back to radio and the media. She is going to have to release two iHeart Music radio singles before the album's release with one being a huge ballad. MC16 should not have any rap features since MC is older now. MC will need to some type of huge album release event a week prior to the album's release. Maybe a 5-night performance on The Jimmy Kimmel Show could be a first for MC. No pre-recorded tracks or gimmicks during the performances should heard. There should be just raw soul stirring performances each night similar to her MTV Unplugged performances. Finally, I would like to see the album released on same day as a primetime interview special with Robin Roberts. An interview with Robin Roberts would be what MC needs to ensure MC16 is heard by new music listeners. If she does a traditional album release, MC16 will be dead upon arrival. (Monday 15 January 2024; 12:01)

Dating (104,935) by Bobby A from United States Do you think MC will ever date again? I worry about her being alone and not having someone in her life. DeVon Franklin would be the perfect man for MC since she has scaled back being this huge diva. He is a huge motivational speaker and he loves God. During the Christmas shows and in Aspen this December, I saw MC as a more mature woman just raising her children. Her diva persona seems to have fallen off her huge petsonality. Love has to be on her mind, though. She can't stay single forever. I hope that she starts dating again during the recording of MC16. My two cents during the start of several days of below freezing temperatures. (Sunday 14 January 2024; 10:00)

Beat (104,931) by Bobby A from United States Sorry, I didnt catch the Paul Abdul video reference until you mentioned it. I see Ariana trending now with praises from Paula. She has a great team behind her. Ariana knows how to generate buzz and views of her videos. She did some female movie pop references for her Thank You, Next video. (Saturday 13 January 2024; 18:26) this is a reply to message 104,929

Beat (104,929) by Edward from USA How could you've forgotten to mention the video they actually took some elements from? Cold Hearted Snake by Paula Abdul. (Saturday 13 January 2024; 17:41)

Duet with Michael Bolton (104,930) by Bobby A from United States I love their chemistry on this song. I wonder why Columbia chose Patti over MC for the album version. Did Tommy think it was too soon for MC to have an official duet on another male's artist album? Their vocal chemistry may have been too much for him to hear before he could put that ring on her finger. (Saturday 13 January 2024; 17:54) this is a reply to message 104,922

Duet with Michael Bolton (104,922) by Chicago Lamb from USA Your weekend treat. Webmaster please hyper link. (Saturday 13 January 2024; 15:34)

Beat (104,927) by Bobby A from United States Have you seen the video for Yes, And? It reminds me of Pat Benetar's Love Is A Battlefield video. J Lo's Can't Get Enough and Dua Lipa's Houdini videos are similar with a huge dance production and a women empowerment theme. Maybe this is the trend for 2024. I don't think MC has ever a huge dance production video. No, Honey and Heartbreaker don't count. (Saturday 13 January 2024; 17:19) this is a reply to message 104,920

Beat (104,920) by Jamie from UK Mariah needs a song with a good beat like Ariana has just dropped. Something that's gonna get peoples attention and is catchy. (Saturday 13 January 2024; 12:27)

Beat (104,921) by Bobby A from United States I love it. We can only hope she will become inspired by this hot new song by Ariana. Women are going to rule the charts in 2024. (Saturday 13 January 2024; 15:08) this is a reply to message 104,920

Fifty thumbs up (104,916) by Bobby A from United States What is wrong tonight? I always give you 1-2 likes and respond to some of your posts. Is the metamorphosis of a nicer Andrew getting to you? (Saturday 13 January 2024; 03:31) this is a reply to message 104,914

Fifty thumbs up (104,914) by Andrew from the UK Bored of talking and having my ideas usurped and my contributions ignored. Fifty thumbs up to this message: I'll delete and never post again. (Saturday 13 January 2024; 00:08)

Album ideas (104,915) by Bobby A from United States MC should make her first true R&B jazz adult contemporary album to reach masses again. I was thinking today she is going to have to release an album with a cohesive group of live musicians who can give her a new sound so she can improvise live. Improvisation is her strength that no one else can do quite like MC. Remember the mop the floor song during one of the Christmas shows. Also, I believe MC16 is going to be the album that is going to be the true follow-up to Butterfly. I felt cheated and disappointed with Rainbow and Charmbracelet being released after the brillant Butterfly album. I know that I am not the only one who felt cheated and disappointed in 1999 and 2002. (Saturday 13 January 2024; 00:36) this is a reply to message 104,902

Album ideas (104,902) by MusicfanJ from Germany Bill I love all your album ideas. I really wish we would get at least two of your ideas. My favourite would be of course the Jazz album "They call the wind Mariah". I've been listening to "Lullaby of Birdland" and "Nevertheless I'm in Love with you" on repeat. Mariah can sing almost every genre but she's really a hidden jazz lady. And her diva style suits it as well. But the other ideas are also great. I think almost every fan heart would be pleased too. (Friday 12 January 2024; 15:09)

JLo Hummingbird = Butterfly (104,898) by Bobby A from United States Just creepy. Did you know that she performed "Do You Know Where You Are Going To" on her 2003 Let's Get Loud concert DVD release? I wonder if Tommy gave her some Mariah notes in 2001 to refer to. [Webmaster: It was a bonustrack on her album On the 6 from 1999.] (Friday 12 January 2024; 12:05) this is a reply to message 104,894

JLo Hummingbird = Butterfly (104,894) by ADAM from USA Her album roll out is such a carbon copy of Butterfly it's uncanny. Now she's adopting a hummingbird motif on her album and in her vinyl and album covers posing the same way MC did with hair and lighting like the epic Butterfly cover. She definitely has been studying MC and is doing the most. Unfortunately all she could hope for is emulating the looks because her music is grating. (Friday 12 January 2024; 03:01)

Missy Elliot (104,891) by Bobby A from United States Do you think we may get another Missy Elliot collaboration on the new album? I would love to hear want these two brillant songwriters come up with in 2024. (Thursday 11 January 2024; 22:05)

Songs in the Key of MC (104,884) by Bobby A from United States Lol. I listened this week to the Whitney Houston/Wendy Williams radio interview from 2003. I want him to be nicer and more encouraging in 2024. (Thursday 11 January 2024; 05:59) this is a reply to message 104,881
