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

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,290) by Bobby A from United States What do we know about Dolby Atmos technology that was used for mastering the 30th anniversary edition? Also, I just found out Music Box was released on a K2 HD mastering technology CD in 2011. Bill, do you have the K2 CD? (Saturday 2 September 2023; 15:36) this is a reply to message 103,288

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,288) by Bill from the UK Me too. I just keep praying I don't die before Friday so I get to experience it. (Saturday 2 September 2023; 14:00)

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,286) by Bobby A from United States September 8th is the day at midnight on MC's website. The expanded digital package will be made immediately available on digital platforms while the physical items will have ship dates assigned to them. Hopefully, the 3 CD set is ready now to be shipped from a warehouse. The 4 LP will be assigned a November or December ship date. I hope the 4 LP vinyl set receives the same packaging as The Rarities.

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,284) by Jamie from UK Do we know how we will be able to purchase this yet? And will it also be available on digital download? (Saturday 2 September 2023; 09:38)

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,279) by Bobby A from United States This will be the one time the Lambs will make MC's website crash. Lol. We might want to have 2-3 devices active at the same time. Be ready for 9.8.23 at 11:59pm. (Friday 1 September 2023; 21:31) this is a reply to message 103,278

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,278) by Bill from the UK The 3CD edition is encouraging, as that indicates 1 disc for the album, another for the Thanksgiving audio, and the other for the bonus tracks. I'd imagine it'd include the three tracks from The Rarities, plus the four she's shown on her social media accounts. That leaves plenty of room for other surprises which I am pumped about. Also, the clip on Instagram had footage from the Music Box tour. Could it be, finally, we receive this gem? That is "my prayer". (Friday 1 September 2023; 15:00)

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,269) by Bobby A from United States Yes, this is the refresh we needed to hear today. I am celebrating the MB 30th release by listening to her two best compliations: #1 To Xfinity and The Rarities. (Thursday 31 August 2023; 21:45) this is a reply to message 103,268

Music Box 30th anniversary revealed (103,268) by Stacey from USA This was my first album I ever bought. Hero was the first song I ever heard. Yes it's schmaltzy but who cares. This album has its place in history. The remixes alone are trendsetting. Happy Anniversary Music Box. (Thursday 31 August 2023; 20:57)

Where is she? (103,263) by Bobby A from United States My heart feels for my girl MC. It must be an awful feeling for someone who has lost his or her gift and not be able do what he or she loves doing? 1995 Mariah would have been in the studio until 6am this morning finishing her album to be released in October. I hope that she can get her gift back. (Wednesday 30 August 2023; 22:00) this is a reply to message 103,259

Where is she? (103,259) by Zachariah from Croatia Guys, where is she? What is happening? No news, no nothing. (Wednesday 30 August 2023; 12:08)

New era? (103,247) by Bobby A from United States Is this the new era that no one expected? An era where we get new items dropped in MC's store quarterly and occasional video posts on Twitter. I believe this is the new norm. Therefore, I am disappointed with the release of the new Honey 2 LP. The gold colored vinyl is not worth buying. I don't purchase color vinyl because it does not produce brillant stereophonic sound like black vinyl. This is where we are from the start in 1990 to 2023. It is really disappointing that MC hasn't addressed anything. Did Elton John or Janet Jackson experience a career slow down like this without some type of announcement? I would like to know.

Great topics this week (103,245) by Bobby A from United States Edward, it's the British accent that is intriguing to me. Lol. (Wednesday 23 August 2023; 19:56) this is a reply to message 103,244

Great topics this week (103,244) by Edward from USA Robert-Anthony, make up your mind about all these British men. Remember that Gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins. (Wednesday 23 August 2023; 07:42)

Great topics this week (103,243) by Bobby A from United States I am Andrew. Lol. I love your new profile pic. I thought you had forgotten about me. (Tuesday 22 August 2023; 22:59) this is a reply to message 103,242

Great topics this week (103,242) by Andrew from the UK You're visiting the UK at Christmas? Hold up: are you a big fat jolly fella with a big beard and a massive sack? (Tuesday 22 August 2023; 22:22)

New song? (103,232) by Bobby A from United States Lol. I got all excited today at the library. I totally ignored those Pepsi ring tones when they came out. Shout out to Chante Moore for taking up for MC. She is the real deal. She can execute her whistle notes as well. She recently married former BET executive Stephen Hill who helped MC find new management after Crustella. What if Mimi married Stephen Hill? Chante got her man. Lol. By way Mariah Trends on Twitter posted a video today of MC holding baby Philip with Rocky. Who is baby Philip? (Monday 21 August 2023; 01:37) this is a reply to message 103,231

New song? (103,231) by Edward from USA It's called "All to Myself". It's one of the Pepsi ringtones she made back when she got emancipated and changed her name to Mimi. (Monday 21 August 2023; 00:49)

New song? (103,230) by Bobby A from United States What is the name of the song at the beginning of this video? I have never heard this song before. (Sunday 20 August 2023; 20:58)

Great topics this week (103,226) by Bobby A from United States This has been a good week with great topics. From rumors of MC's impending return to A.I. to reminiscing about the Price sisters and Melonie Daniels to the impact of discounted singles to flirting with a favorite board member to my failed The Rarities 2 Twiiter campaign, the topics brought us all together. I may have to visit the U.K. this Christmas though. (Saturday 19 August 2023; 23:53)

The Price Sisters and Melonie - underrated gems (103,220) by Bobby A from United States Jamie, I like your new profile picture. (Saturday 19 August 2023; 12:52) this is a reply to message 103,218

The Price Sisters and Melonie - underrated gems (103,218) by Jamie from UK Yeah I get that when you've had the album as a whole from the start, anything else wouldn't feel part of it. To me it wouldn't feel Music Box without it as that's how we heard it over here. I remember thinking at the time why's it a bonus track it's that good. (Saturday 19 August 2023; 09:22)

The Price Sisters and Melonie - underrated gems (103,216) by Bobby A from United States I just wonder if there are 2-3 more songs recorded for Music Box that are in the vault. (Saturday 19 August 2023; 05:04) this is a reply to message 103,214

The Price Sisters and Melonie - underrated gems (103,214) by Edward from USA It is perfection indeed. Even though I discovered "Everything Fades Away" years later since it wasn't part of the US version of Music Box, I've placed it at the end of "All I've Ever Wanted", but it always sounds out of place to me. It's a good thing it is now on "The Rarities". "All I've Ever Wanted" vocals are insane. (Saturday 19 August 2023; 03:46)

The Price Sisters and Melonie - underrated gems (103,213) by Bobby A from United States MC said during the intro to Emotions on the Music Box DVD, "You better sing." I forgot all about how powerful the sisters were on that Emotions intro. (Friday 18 August 2023; 23:43) this is a reply to message 103,210

The Price Sisters and Melonie - underrated gems (103,210) by Jamie from UK This is what I miss about 90's music, background vocalist would be heavily added to tracks and in short parts usually towards the end would almost be the lead with the artist singing over them. I love Michael Bolton and he used this style, Everything Fades Away is a good example of this. I find it adds depth and texture to songs and can bring out more emotion in certain songs. How cool would it be for Mariah to do one track with the Price Sisters and Melonie, and team up with Walter for writing and production. She's always going on about the nostalgia darrrrling so give us some nostalgia. (Friday 18 August 2023; 14:39)

Last award (103,204) by Will from England What was the last music related award that Mariah received, that was not a lifetime achievement-esque related? (Thursday 17 August 2023; 22:05)

Kelly Price (103,199) by Bobby A from United States I got this wrong in not pulling out the CD or vinyl. They are still boxed up from my move. I really didn't read any CD liner notes until Butterfly. Lol. Maybe I am just still a little sour and defensive at Kelly for posting that vocal shade at MC some years ago. But I am guilty as well. (Thursday 17 August 2023; 20:21) this is a reply to message 103,197

Kelly Price (103,197) by Edward from USA I was just about to post that. I don't see the reason for her to lie either. She was very nice about her journey with MC in one of her most recent interviews. (Thursday 17 August 2023; 14:03)

Kelly Price (103,188) by Bobby A from United States Kelly Price recently did an interview with Vibe. She says during the recording of Daydream that it would just be her and MC in the studio. She says that vocals heard on Fantasy is all her and MC. I don't believe her. I don't hear Kelly Price at all on the album version of Fantasy. I have listened to Fantasy 6 times tonight and all I hear is MC doing lead and background vocals. Why now Kelly? Oh, I forgot that you are promoting the 25th anniversary of your album Soul of a Woman. (Wednesday 16 August 2023; 05:05)

The Rarities 2 (103,177) by Bobby A from United States How many have seen and used my hashtag campaign and tweeted MC with it? Just curious because I am up to 79 impressions right now. I'm hoping for 100 impressions by 8pm tonight. (Sunday 13 August 2023; 22:46) this is a reply to message 103,174

The Rarities 2 (103,174) by Bobby A from United States My Twitter campaign for The Rarities 2 made its debut last night. I have 37 impressions so far with on going activity today. Tweet MC with this #MCTheRarties2Campaign. (Saturday 12 August 2023; 21:19)

Subtle Invitation (103,172) by Bobby A from United States Wow. It is still on YouTube under Thi Hills. I love the original pitch better. Her tone sounds just like her impromptu videos like Circles. (Saturday 12 August 2023; 15:10) this is a reply to message 103,171

Subtle Invitation (103,171) by Bill from the UK On Subtle Invitation, and likely the others you mentioned, her voice is pitched up for the final version. There was an original pitch version of Subtle Invitation floating around a few years back but I don't think it's about anymore, probably got removed. Personally I thought the lower, natural tone sounded better, but who am I? (Saturday 12 August 2023; 13:22)

Subtle Invitation (103,167) by Bobby A from United States The way MC sings on this song has never been talked about before. It's not her head voice nor is it her whisper voice. She does the same type of singing on GTFO and There Goes My Heart Again. Music majors help me out. Are all three sung in the same key? (Saturday 12 August 2023; 07:01)

Perfection (103,165) by Bobby A from United States I have to make me a copy too. Edward, you just gave me an idea. I am starting The Rarities 2 Twitter campaign tomorrow. Look for it tomorrow evening on MC's Twitter feed. (Friday 11 August 2023; 23:29) this is a reply to message 103,164

Perfection (103,164) by Edward from USA This is the best AI Mariah's voice cover so far. It helps that it is sung in her style. Just made my own Mp3 just in case they take it down. It's simply amazing. We need The Rarities 2 right now. (Friday 11 August 2023; 22:14)

Tommy or no career at all (103,157) by Bobby A from United States Edward, I like to keep the board laughing sometimes. It so boring in MC's world right now. She has taken this sabbatical and didn't tell us. (Thursday 10 August 2023; 03:30) this is a reply to message 103,149

Tommy or no career at all (103,149) by Edward from USA I love your sarcasm. (Tuesday 8 August 2023; 05:42)

First Vision (103,156) by Bobby A from United States I just realized today that First Vision was never released on DVD in the U.S. I wonder if it will ever be released with some extra live tracks or an extended Patricia and daughter moment. Also, whenever Sony Legacy chooses the time to break our wallets with boxsets and previously unreleased, it is great time for Lambs. Can you imagine all of the early 90s demo songs all on one CD?
