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

Christmas tour 2024 (107,649) by Bobby A from United States I have been a special education teacher for 14 years. I am hoping that I can obtain a high school social studies position next school year and last another 15 years until retirement. Butterfly was released when I started my teaching career.

Christmas tour 2024 (107,646) by David from USA Wait, you're a teacher? I didn't know that. What do [you] teach? And what will you do if you stop teaching? (Thursday 14 November 2024; 22:57)

Christmas tour 2024 (107,643) by Bobby A from United States Thank you. I hope that you are getting some spiritual comfort and peace. I still listen to Larry Tinsley every morning on V103. He played Great and Mighty by Dorinda Clark Cole and she brought me so much joy this morning with her message. I stay tuned every morning for Big Tigger and Jazzy McBee. Lol.

Christmas tour 2024 (107,641) by Libra Lamb from USA I really hope you do too. Enjoy. (Wednesday 13 November 2024; 13:47)

Christmas shows (107,639) by Bobby A from United States 2025 is going to be a defining year for MC's career. Will she release any full length project? Will she keeping us hanging on wondering all year? It has been too long since Caution was released. Something else has been going on that has caused such a prolonged wait. It has been more than vocal and personal issues. (Wednesday 13 November 2024; 10:39) this is a reply to message 107,637

Christmas shows (107,637) by Zachariah from Croatia I have few things to say regarding this matter: 1. You guys are lucky to even to get to see her in this time of the year. I adore Christmas, although I am more an introvert and alone 90% of the time those days, but I love to see city streets with Christmas decorations and such. I like the vibe. I would do anything to go to see her, but it is what it is. 2. I don't mind her just standing there and not move - she was never a dancer and I am fine with that. Looking at the monitor - that is really annoying and I really would like to know why is she doing that, but it must be the lyrics, or looking herself in the monitor to see if the hair is ok or just a logistic part to see where is she standing or something like that - I really don't know what else could be. 3. Her tour starts way to early. She should do just December next time - from 1st of December until 20th. That's it. She had a lot this year and she should get her rest. 4. Vocals are very good from what I hear and I don't know why is she using back tracks. I don't think she has dementia or anything like that - it is just stress and making sure that everything goes well. Look at it this way - I use notes at my work. Every day. As I am sure you all do. This is her work and yes, notes are in order to make sure that everything goes well. (Wednesday 13 November 2024; 10:00)

Christmas tour 2024 (107,638) by Bobby A from United States Thank you Libra. I have been thinking about relocating back to Atlanta. I just need to develop a plan about what I am going to do next year. I know now Texas is not where I need to live long-term. Anyway, I just need for the Thanksgiving break to hurry up. Lol. These 5am arrival days are really hard each day when I go from classroom to classroom supporting students across 3 buildings. (Wednesday 13 November 2024; 10:29) this is a reply to message 107,633

Christmas tour 2024 (107,633) by Libra Lamb from USA It's a shame you had to move several states away. You can always come back to Atlanta, you do have a friend in me here Robert-Anthony. I'm old so I don't party hard anymore but I am still down for some fun. I have lived in Texas and in no way would I ever go back. It's not bad at all, it's just for me. Not my people. Not my landscape. I hope you find your tribe wherever you end up. I wish you the best with your health and upcoming decisions. (Tuesday 12 November 2024; 11:02)

Christmas tour 2024 (107,628) by Bobby A from United States Brandon and Edward, you both got me thinking as to why MC is so stiff on stage and relies heavily on the monitors and lip syncing lately. Her voice and hand movements were so interconnected together. With both of them working together, we got a more engaged MC who commanded the stage so effortlessly. Just my two scents as I contemplate if I am going to end my teaching career after 19 years at the end of May 2025. My health is starting to decline from worrying about all that I have to do on a daily basis and from just trying to live on a Texas teacher's salary. I left Atlanta, Georgia a year ago because I just had grown disappointed in how tough it was for me just fitting in after being there so long. So, I went back to Texas because I believed the myth that everything is bigger and better in Texas. What a huge lie the natives sell the newcomers. So, I can completely understand how MC feels when contributing factors can change how you approach something that you once loved to do.

Christmas tour 2024 (107,625) by Brandon from USA Edward, I agree with you 100%. Unfortunately it's more of the same from what I've seen too. Constant staring at the monitors, moving extra stiff and rigid and an over reliance on lip syncing. I asked the question to see if anyone else noticed it like me. I know there are some fans that don't care and just want to see her but I'm not moved from what I see. Also I prefer the production and staging from last year to this years shows. (Monday 11 November 2024; 18:13)

Christmas tour 2024 (107,624) by Bobby A from United States It has only been two shows. Lol. Later shows in the past have proven to be more energetic and engaging. Remember the rave reviews of the Toronto and Chicago shows in 2023. Just give her time for upcoming shows. She will do it for sure.

Christmas tour 2024 (107,623) by Edward from USA I wasn't going to comment but since you asked, I expected Mariah to go all out with the production, especially with the Merry Christmas celebrating its 30th anniversary. Unfortunately, it feels like more of the same to me. Mariah isn't glancing at the monitors because she's forgotten any lyrics, she's watching for her lipping cues. She appears dazed, and her platform heels are so high she can barely take a step. For a festive show, the energy is severely lacking. I'm not impressed at all. On a positive note, she seems to have added a woman to her dance crew, finally. (Sunday 10 November 2024; 23:43)

Grammy's nominations (107,621) by Bobby A from United States Most of the album of year nominees did one thing to get nominated this year. They stepped out of their comfort zone and delivered albums that had the industry talking about their work of art. Beyonce might just win next year, but Charli xcx or Taylor Swift may take it home. (Sunday 10 November 2024; 18:48)

Christmas shows (107,616) by Bobby A from United States MC looks gorgeous. She sounds good even though it's obvious it is a backing track on some songs. I believe she is saving her voice for when she gets back into the studio in early 2025. I just want Bizness Boi, H.E.R., and Nova Wav collaborations. Mary J. Blige got to them first for her new album. (Sunday 10 November 2024; 00:50) this is a reply to message 107,612

Christmas shows (107,612) by Shezz from Pk Everyone's pretty quiet about the Christmas shows. I've not seen too many videos but she seems to be singing live a whole lot more than what she did this past year from the few that I have seen. I like that she's ditched the nutcracker body suit for her famous Santa suit. The sets again don't look as festive as they have been in the past though - she needs the big Christmas trees back again. So happy she's singing again (not completely of course but this is still great). (Saturday 9 November 2024; 13:06)

Christmas shows (107,615) by Bobby A from United States Libra, I am so sorry to hear. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. (Sunday 10 November 2024; 00:38) this is a reply to message 107,614

Christmas shows (107,614) by Libra Lamb from USA I'm sorry, I've been going through all the stages of grief, so I haven't posted anything. From what I've seen, she seems to be having fun on stage and that's all I can ask for. (Saturday 9 November 2024; 19:09)

MC's happy (107,611) by Bobby A from United States You haven't caught on yet. Lol. My predictions are mostly wishful thinking. (Wednesday 6 November 2024; 16:58) this is a reply to message 107,607

MC's happy (107,607) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States You have a lot of thoughts like this. Why? (Wednesday 6 November 2024; 12:10)

MC's happy (107,605) by Bobby A from United States Lol. I forgot to mention that I think MC is going to drop a new Christmas song or duet before Thanksgiving. (Tuesday 5 November 2024; 20:40) this is a reply to message 107,601

MC's happy (107,601) by Shezz from Pk She definitely is. You can see the life back in her face - no more Stepford wife-esque. I have a feeling her energy will be back this Christmas tour. No idea if her previous demeanor was medical or emotionally based or both but either way she’s definitely getting her groove back. Robert Anthony make some predictions. Sorry I just read your message now. You already have made your predictions. (Tuesday 5 November 2024; 11:00)

MC's happy (107,600) by Bobby A from United States I noticed it today too with her X pics with Kerry Washinton. MC looks like she is in her 30s. I think Mimi is smiling again because she has gotten her voice back. In 2025, we will finally see MC16. (Tuesday 5 November 2024; 05:13) this is a reply to message 107,599

MC's happy (107,599) by Brandon from USA Is it me or is MC starting to get that twinkle back in her eyes that's been gone the past year and a half. I feel like she's getting her happy back and I love it. (Tuesday 5 November 2024; 00:08)

Oh Santa wonder (107,597) by Bobby A from United States I have always wondered why Oh Santa does not have that signature JD sound. The only think that I can think of is that MC already came to the studio with a melody so good that he couldn't add his famous JD bounce. Lol. Anyway, I love Oh Santa and I wish more people purchased it on iTunes and Spotify during the holiday season so that it could at least make the top 10 on the Hot 100. (Monday 4 November 2024; 18:43)

All I Want So So Def (107,591) by Bobby A from United States Jaime, you are mentioning all of my MC Christmas goodies this weekend. That is the Yuletime Log edition DVD for Merry Christmas. This is going to be a very special MC Christmas this year. (Sunday 3 November 2024; 23:02) this is a reply to message 107,589

All I Want So So Def (107,589) by Jamie from UK Does the dual disc have the fire place scene for the TV? I can't remember what that was on. I need to get some new shelves, my collection has been in boxes for too long since I moved. (Sunday 3 November 2024; 21:46)

All I Want So So Def (107,585) by Bobby A from United States I love the remix too, Mimi. The animated video is hilarious. It reminds me of the tv comedy Good Times every time I watch it. I have been thinking that it is time to pull out my Merry Christmas dual disc this year to play the DVD side. (Sunday 3 November 2024; 06:37) this is a reply to message 107,584

All I Want So So Def (107,584) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok so I don't know about y'all but I love the So So Def version as well as the original. I wish she'd perform it or bring some attention to it. It's such an amazing track. Maybe do a mashup. (Sunday 3 November 2024; 03:51)

It's time (107,583) by Bobby A from United States I knew it was a Joseph Kahn production. This is his 4th time working with MC. (Saturday 2 November 2024; 23:48) this is a reply to message 107,581

It's time (107,581) by Chicago Lamb from USA It's really Bianca who is playing Morticia. Then when the clock strikes, poof. She's Mariah and ready to be festive. (Saturday 2 November 2024; 13:13)

It's time video (107,571) by Bobby A from United States MC really out did herself this time. Someone has been taking dancing lessons. Lol. I have two questions after watching three times. Is that Terrence Trent D'arby's Sign My Name that MC and the sexy man were dancing to? Who is that sexy man in the video? (Friday 1 November 2024; 06:34)

Grunge/Rock album (107,570) by Bobby A from United States Shezz, I suppose MC is being nice by giving excuses of what she is trying to do because of a possible external conflict with Sony/Legacy Recordings about its release. Sony executives probably don't want us to hear it. I feel Sony/Legacy Recordings has been holding back on releasing various new MC projects like new greatest hits and remix physical releases. The Essential Mariah Carey CD was the last greatest hits release. Also, how does the remix queen only have one remix release on CD? It seems like Sony/Legacy is being very cautious about what new MC releases are released. Could they be afraid that certain Mariah Carey releases won't sell that much to be worth releasing? (Friday 1 November 2024; 06:26) this is a reply to message 107,568

Grunge/Rock album (107,568) by Shezz from Pk Why does she keep saying she's "trying to get it out but doesn't know how"? Seems like there's more to it. First she told us she was collaborating with a younger artist on it (why does she need anyone on it we want to hear her voice on those songs?). Robert Anthony you want to chime in? You always have an interesting hopeful take with your Mariah theories. (Friday 1 November 2024; 02:16)

The new interview (107,567) by Bobby A from United States I am excited too. Some BBC specials are shown on PBS here in the U.S. (Thursday 31 October 2024; 19:52) this is a reply to message 107,566

The new interview (107,566) by MusicfanJ from Germany That was really a good interview. It was nice to read. Best one since a long time. I also think "Miss you (most at Christmas time)" is one of the saddest. It's another classic and should get more attention. I love this song so much. Her answer with Happy Xmas (War is Over) is how I always feel too. I guess every human with a heart gets emotionally with it. I also can't wait for the alternative rock release. And the new album of course. I wish Mariah would get another Grammy, she doesn't need it, but it's so overdue. Maybe with the rock or jazz album. But for now I'm excited for the upcoming BBC special. (Thursday 31 October 2024; 14:07)

MC 30 media blitz (107,563) by Bobby A from United States So tomorrow we are going to get some early Christmas presents. (Thursday 31 October 2024; 00:36) this is a reply to message 107,560

MC 30 media blitz (107,560) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha we love and demure and mindful queen. Very cutesy. (Wednesday 30 October 2024; 21:07)

Drew Barrymore Show (107,553) by Bobby A from United States Every announcement has to be done on social media these days. I don't understand why. I said on MCA a few weeks ago that her it's time video this year will be her best one yet. I can't wait to see what MC does this year. (Monday 28 October 2024; 23:36) this is a reply to message 107,550

Drew Barrymore Show (107,550) by Shezz from Pk The website description says she'll talk about the tour and MC30 (mostly Drew will talk to her about her Christmas traditions I'm sure). Gone are the days when people make announcements on these shows RA. All done on social media now, though I'd love to be wrong and have her announce something substantial. I don't know why she didn't come on the November 1st show. Insider rumours on X say that she has a couple of big guest stars on her "It's tiiiiime" video this year, maybe that's why she's doing the 31st one since it's pre taped and she can't discuss the video. (Monday 28 October 2024; 16:18)

Rare debut tri-fold (107,552) by Bobby A from United States Yes. Love Takes Time is on the disc, but it just didn't make the tracklist for the cd packaging. My copy is rare in another way in that it has a "For Promotional Use" sticker covering the UPC barcode. I guess it was a copy sent to radio stations. (Monday 28 October 2024; 22:04) this is a reply to message 107,551

Rare debut tri-fold (107,551) by Jamie from UK Nice find. There's one on EBay for $108 and is an original pressing as it's missing [Love takes time] on the song list. Is this the one you found? (Monday 28 October 2024; 16:44)

Rare debut tri-fold (107,547) by Bobby A from United States I was out shopping this weekend and found a rare debut tri-fold cd. Inside the cardboard tri-fold cd case are pictures, the tracklisting, and a two-fold picture of MC holding the microphone. Does anyone else have this rare CD? Also, this rare CD made me immediately think about Bill. MC's debut album is his favorite MC album. I purchased a Wal-Mart exclusive vinyl and shipped it to him. Bill was really serious about his disappointment with MC's lip syncing during her performances. He hasn't posted in nine months or more. Hopefully, he still reads posts on the board. We miss you, Blll. (Monday 28 October 2024; 00:40)

Drew Barrymore Show (107,546) by Bobby A from United States This is great news. I don't think her visit to the show is just a random visit. Maybe MC will announce that there will be another CBS Christmas special this year and some other surprises. The Drew Barrymore Show is produced by CBS Media Ventures. In 2022, the Christmas special was a huge ratings winner for CBS. (Sunday 27 October 2024; 14:06) this is a reply to message 107,545

Drew Barrymore Show (107,545) by Shezz from Pk Mariah is on the 31st October show. That'll be fun. I hope she announces MC30 with the new song's release date soon. (Sunday 27 October 2024; 05:20)

Christmas show (107,543) by Bobby A from United States I know you are excited. My decision day is tomorrow. I am super excited about the setlist MC released. (Friday 25 October 2024; 00:34) this is a reply to message 107,538

Christmas show (107,538) by Libra Lamb from USA I really hope you get to go. You can make it happen. I'm definitely ready. My voice will be surely gone by the end of that night from "singing" along. (Thursday 24 October 2024; 02:41)
