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

What do you do for a living? (106,940) by Robert-Anthony from United States Thank you, Shezz. I really appreciate your kind words. Being a high school special education teacher is very rewarding. That is awesome you are an architect. Have you designed any school buildings? (Wednesday 24 July 2024; 16:34) this is a reply to message 106,939

What do you do for a living? (106,939) by Shezz from Pk RA, I loved knowing what you do for a living. So fitting - great match for all your passion, compassion and optimism. I think it would be great to know what the rest of the MC fans (some people don't like the term lambs) do here - whoever is interested in sharing. I'm an architect. (Wednesday 24 July 2024; 06:06)

Inspirational songs (106,938) by Robert-Anthony from United States Vice-President Kamala Harris chose Beyonce's Freedom for her campaign song. I like it, although it is one of the songs I skipped initially on her album Lemonade. I hope MC will endorse her and write her an original song. I know she can create a fire inspirational song for her campaign. Bring It On Home is a song that I often visit for inspiration during the school year. I am going to need it again during the new school year with 25 plus students on my caseload. (Wednesday 24 July 2024; 00:50)

Article: Mariah Carey adds 2025 dates to Las Vegas residency (106,930) by Robert-Anthony from United States I just figured out how to leave a message for articles in the news feed. I am so proud of myself. Lol. Anyway, maybe these Vegas shows now and then are helping her voice. Mimi better be dropping a new project in late January or early February.

Album coming soon? (106,928) by Robert-Anthony from United States People see her as the Michael Jackson of our time. (Monday 22 July 2024; 22:28) this is a reply to message 106,926

Album coming soon? (106,926) by Jamie from UK Nobody stands a chance with the media propaganda that is Taylor Swift. Do not get how she is so big, sorry to any Swifties. She's good but she's no where as good as she's made out to be. (Monday 22 July 2024; 10:00)

Album coming soon? (106,923) by Robert-Anthony from United States Maybe multiple projects released during the 12 months will only help MC reintroduce herself again on the Billboard 200. I don't think MC has anything to worry about upcoming album releases from Katy Perry, Coldplay or Rihanna. Critics are dragging Katy Perry's Woman World and Lifetimes album tracks in the mud. They are expecting her album 143 to tank on the charts on September 20th just like Camilo Cabello's C, XOXO did 3 weeks ago. The music world has only been good to Taylor Swift this year. It seems this year a lot of labels have reissued a lot artists' classic albums remastered on vinyl and CD. They are everywhere in vinyl record shops and Tower Records.

Album coming soon? (106,922) by Shezz from Pk If insiders are to be believed, not all the recordings are for MC16. She has a couple of projects she's working on simultaneously. I wish she'd focus on one right now - hopefully she's wrapping up MC16 and the upcoming announcement isn't about more tours but about the new album. Butterfly Lounge can wait. (Sunday 21 July 2024; 19:25)

Album coming soon? (106,921) by Robert-Anthony from United States I realized that I had forgotten all about The Clark Sisters collaboration recorded July 2021. MC16 is going to have the longest recording time (2021-2025) ever for a Mariah Carey album. MC16 is rumored to have these producers and collaborations on it. Did I miss anyone? 1. The Clark Sisters 2. Daniel Moore III 3. Jermaine Dupri 4. Solange 5. Anderson Paak 6. Rae Khalil 7. Bruno Mars 8. Max Martin 9. Lucky Daye 10. Ariana Grande 11. Shakira 12. David Morales (Sunday 21 July 2024; 13:13) this is a reply to message 106,758

Album coming soon? (106,758) by Shezz from Pk That picture looks like her Victoria Secret shoot from last Christmas. They’re just saying what Mariah said herself. Album coming soon. (Thursday 20 June 2024; 20:10)

Rumoured lead singles (106,920) by Robert-Anthony from United States Somehow I ended up purchasing two different 12" vinyl records and a maxi CD single from a NYC record shop using a paper mail order form in 1998. Wow, that is unheard of today to order using a paper form and pay with a money order. (Sunday 21 July 2024; 03:49) this is a reply to message 106,917

Rumoured lead singles (106,917) by BFF from United States "Sweetheart" was supposed to be the lead single or a single from #1s, but it was cancelled because Sony wanted Mariah to prioritize "When You Believe". They manufactured CD singles for "Sweetheart" but ended up giving them away with copies of #1s after it was cancelled. (Saturday 20 July 2024; 23:38)

Comfirmed：Mariah is coming to Beijing this September (106,915) by Robert-Anthony from United States An X account said today MC was going to make an important annoucement soon. Could MC be gearing up to release MC16 this Fall to capitalize on holiday sales and shows? Holiday shows with a sprinkle of some new songs could only help ensure MC16's success after Christmas. (Saturday 20 July 2024; 21:11) this is a reply to message 106,911

Comfirmed：Mariah is coming to Beijing this September (106,911) by Capri_ from China This news will go public at the end of this month. Mariah will come to Beijing, China this September. The concerts will have two dates and the venues are all stadiums with more than 50k+ capacity. (Saturday 20 July 2024; 15:08)

Rumoured lead singles (106,913) by Robert-Anthony from United States Love Takes Time probably would have been the first single for Emotions if Tommy had not walked in the studio that day. The whole trajectory of Emotions would have been changed forever. Critics probably would never had anything bad to say about the album Emotions. (Saturday 20 July 2024; 17:42) this is a reply to message 106,910

Rumoured lead singles (106,910) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I've heard that "The One" was meant to be Charmbracelet's lead single: I heard that "I'm That Chick" was meant to be E=MC2's first single from this album. (Brilliant if you're passing up the obvious popularity of Migrate. Lest sing together "Should have been a single".) "The Art of Letting Go" for MIAM. (Powerful, after a divorce and having issues with her mom as she spoke in her memoir about. The simplicity of this ballet breaks my heart, cuts to my root, she's so clear and direct.) Do we know of any other rumoured contenders for a lead singles of other albums aside from Charmbracelet, E=MC2 and MIAM? (Saturday 20 July 2024; 02:37)

Benny Medina (106,907) by Robert-Anthony from United States Tree Paine could probably bring 1990s Mariah Carey back. I wonder how much is she involved in Taylor's merchandise selling and promotion at tour venues and retailers. I just think MC needs a different manager because she has kind of let her business ventures and promotion take a back seat in the past 7 years. Just my opinion because I often pretend I am a music manager. (Friday 19 July 2024; 16:45) this is a reply to message 106,905

Benny Medina (106,905) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She needs Tree Paine, Taylor’s manager lol, but I don’t think Tree takes any other clients. (Friday 19 July 2024; 02:25)

Benny Medina (106,904) by Robert-Anthony from United States I wish Benny Medina was not JLo's manager. I want him to be MC's manager again to help launch MC16. Although Benny will not stop being JLo's manager, I feel she needs someone other than Melissa Ruderman to manage her. Melissa has been too quiet and not present at various events in my opinion. Who should it be? Ron Fair? Ilene Feldman? (Ryan Gosling and Dave Matthews.) (Thursday 18 July 2024; 23:50)

Madonna confession (106,902) by Robert-Anthony from United States I have never mentioned this before, but I was a huge Madonna fan growing up in the 80s. I was mesmerized by her style, songs, quick rise to fame, and videos. I wanted Madonna and Sean Pean to last as a married couple, but the paparazzi ruined their marriage being a young couple. They were the first paparazzi couple who were followed by the paparazzi. Papa Don't Preach is my all time favorite Madonna video. Madonna changed after their marriage did not work. Her music and style changed too. She started pushing more boundaries within society's norms. I stopped buying her albums after Like a Prayer. Erotica was not the same Madonna I liked growing up in the 80s. Thankfully, MC came along in 1990 to allow me to start new female artist collection. (Wednesday 17 July 2024; 23:54)

Infinity video (106,900) by Robert-Anthony from United States I think it is a fun video. I guess my expectations for a video are really low. Videos that are simple live performances like Madonna's Dress You Up or MJ's Dirty Diana keep my attention more than high budget videos. (Wednesday 17 July 2024; 18:52) this is a reply to message 106,898

Infinity video (106,898) by Zachariah from Croatia Infinity video is ridiculous. It's cheap, tacky and just awful. The recent good-ish video was With You and little bit far away - We Belong Together. Before that - Through The Rain and Honey. Everything else: not worth of mentioning. (Wednesday 17 July 2024; 09:03)

Mariah's been mum of late ... oh no please no (106,899) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC must have gotten a burst of energy to get MC16 completed before her Vegas shows start again. (Wednesday 17 July 2024; 14:40) this is a reply to message 106,879

Mariah's been mum of late ... oh no please no (106,879) by Shezz from Pk I think she's quiet because she's finishing MC16. She already celebrated the 25th anniversary of Christmas so I don't think 30 will have a big celebration lined up but I'm sure she will do something. Whether we like it or not, that is where she earns her money now. And the fact that it still goes to number 1 every year shows a large majority of the general public has come to embrace it as an annual tradition. You bring out the tree, put up the lights and you play AIWFCIY. She will do her Christmas concerts for sure. I do believe she is going to focus on non Christmas projects in the near future as well though. (Monday 15 July 2024; 12:57)

MC clocked part 2 (106,895) by Robert-Anthony from United States If MC could just get back to these type of performances. (Tuesday 16 July 2024; 20:11) this is a reply to message 106,893

MC clocked part 2 (106,893) by Brandon from USA I loved how her energy was here and how she had small choreographed parts with the dancers. You could tell she was having fun, trying new things performance wise and really feeling herself. I hate that the SSFT didn't come to the US and more people didn't experience this show. She would have killed it. (Tuesday 16 July 2024; 18:31)

Infinity video (106,894) by Robert-Anthony from United States The various live performances shots, different model/actor scenes, and the Touch My Body reference mansion scenes made Infinity a great video. It was a playful video just like Touch My Body. Don't you see that way? (Tuesday 16 July 2024; 18:41) this is a reply to message 106,887

Infinity video (106,887) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States What about the video was great in concept? The scenes that were in the teaser that didn't show up in the final video would have been better than the live shots. (Tuesday 16 July 2024; 01:46)

MIH in Manila 2003 (106,889) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC is at her best here. Now I understand why the Charmbracelet tour really showcased how great her voice was during this tour. (Tuesday 16 July 2024; 03:23) this is a reply to message 106,886

MIH in Manila 2003 (106,886) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain What about this concert and this performance in particular? The drive, the energy, the looks, the sweat, the voice, the charisma. Everything. (Tuesday 16 July 2024; 00:17)

Infinity video (106,884) by Robert-Anthony from United States You can't deny that the video for Infinity is one her most well thought out videos. Probably better than GTFO and With You. Those two videos received mediorce video treatments. By the way, Tayla Parxx, Infinity co-writer, made me watch the video today because she is hotter than a firecracker at Normani for not giving her proper album credit for the song Insomina which she co-wrote with Normani, Victoria Monet, Brandy, and Stargate. However, Normani delivers Tayla another low blow by giving her songwriting credit in a interview this week and said that she hadn't seen Tayla in awhile. (Monday 15 July 2024; 23:44)

Mariah's been mum of late ... oh no please no (106,877) by Robert-Anthony from United States Lol. Randy it is an easy way for her to make a lot of money in a short amount of time. MC is going to do something to celebrate 30 years of AIWFIY and Merry Christmas this year. By the way, has anyone noticed that her net worth has decreased from 500 million to 350 million according to various websites? Not releasing an album in 6 years, has really affected her net worth. I hope MC16 is one of the biggest sellers of 2025. It is going to be very interesting next year for album sales if Taylor Swift does not take a break from releasing new music after her Eras Tour. (Monday 15 July 2024; 00:53) this is a reply to message 106,876

Mariah's been mum of late ... oh no please no (106,876) by Randy from USA I realize MC has been silent. Then I realized this is Merry Christmas 30. Please no. I can't take any more promotion of that song. I can't take any more versions of that song. I can't take any more anecdotes about that song. Even the public makes jokes that it's overexposed. Longtime fans know when it's quiet she's working on something. I already feel she's narrowing her legacy to being a whistling Christmas act. Didn't we just get an anniversary edition with the nutcracker whistles? Oh no. The thought of an extra, extra festive AIWFCIY makes me wanna stop taking my lithium and date Charlie Sheen. (Sunday 14 July 2024; 23:39)

E=MC2 off on the beaten path (106,865) by Robert-Anthony from United States I have always wondered why Bye Bye, I Stay In Love, and I'll Be Lovin U Long Time all failed to have the same top 10 success as Touch My Body. I just can't pinpoint why pop radio didn't give those singles the same airplay impressions as Touch My Body. Were they weak single choices or pop radio was moving away from playing R&B songs on pop radio? There was a significant shift in pop radio from 2008-2010. (Thursday 11 July 2024; 22:42)

Specific lyric on Obsessed (106,861) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC said, "Like I can't control nothing." (Wednesday 10 July 2024; 21:03) this is a reply to message 106,860

Specific lyric on Obsessed (106,860) by Randy from USA Since it's kinda quiet, on the Gucci Mane version of Obsessed, probably the original version too, there is an adlib I cannot understand and it's bothered me for years. She says "He's all up in my George Foreman." Then there's some more singing and then she repeats "He's all up in my George Foreman." And she starts "But I-' I can't for the life of me figure out what she's saying. It's before she says "You like me. You like me. You really really like me" as the song fades. The lyric sites are saying, she is saying, "But I can't do nothing for him." That is not what she's saying. Anybody have any ideas? (Wednesday 10 July 2024; 20:20)

Lucky Daye (106,853) by Robert-Anthony from United States His current #1 Urban AC song, That's You, was co-written by Bruno Mars. I believe MC has reached out to Lucky Daye because he didn't like my X collaboration post on June 29th like he did my two previous posts earlier this year and last year. She probably told him don't let anybody know we are going to collaborate. His tour starts July 11th through August 28th. I am sure they have already collaborated because of his tour and The Celebration of Mimi shows So far, we have rumored collaborations with Solange, Anderson Paak, Bruno Mars and Max Martin. (Tuesday 9 July 2024; 23:27) this is a reply to message 106,849

Lucky Daye (106,849) by Shezz from Pk I hadn't heard of him before. Nice. I think MC has recorded a lot of different styles of music in the last few years from contemporary rnb to pop to dance and disco. It'll be interesting to see if she ends up with a varied album or commits to one particular style. Rumours are that Ariana has put her in touch with Max Martin and they have also recorded. I hope we get an original song this year, even if the album is released next year. It's funny how Christmas is her most popular time but also restricts her for a few months. (Tuesday 9 July 2024; 17:37)

Lucky Daye (106,847) by Robert-Anthony from United States Do you think R&B singer, songwriter, and producer Lucky Daye could be that one collaborator MC needs to bring MC16 closer to being finished? This man is a brilliant artist in the way he crafts his songs. His latest album, Algorithm, is a masterpiece. Take a listen to Soft, Mary, and this interview. (Monday 8 July 2024; 22:47)

May Céline inspire Mariah? (106,842) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC's facade (the jokes, the rambling during interviews, and her childhood trauma) that she has built and uses to cope, is going to make it hard to drop her diva antics. It is her shtick now after of these years. (Friday 5 July 2024; 20:03) this is a reply to message 106,840

May Céline inspire Mariah? (106,840) by Randy from USA Mariah is a rebuilding project at this point. The first thing that has to go is the diva like antics. She has to drop the mermaid gowns. The obsession with lighting, hair and make up. Learn to play an instrument, like piano or guitar. She has been saying I'm a terrible piano player for how many years? Long enough to learn the same chords used in all of pop music. My real MCArchives family, listen to the instrumental of We Belong Together. It's four chords. I can play it. And I'm a terrible piano player. Toni Braxton plays piano. Madonna learned guitar. She has the money for a one on one teacher. Once she learns that, she can sit on stage and sing a new song followed by an unplugged version of one of her hits on a talk show. People will respect and love that. (Friday 5 July 2024; 17:00)
