About Lambi from USA: Mc 4 life

IBLYLT & ISIL (109,759) by Lambi from USA
Aww, a dog lamb. That's too freaking cute. I seriously love those songs too. I still play IBLYLT, Cruise Control, I'm That Chick and Migrate on a whim. It takes me right back to summer 2008, my friends and I would blast this record driving the beach strip, windows down. E=MC² had so many bops, it's stupid. I sometimes forget Mariah intended for it to be Emancipation to the second power. Didn't quite have the same success but hey, she was in love and trying to get a family started, so we'll let the missed potential slide. We all gotta live. Still such a fun, underrated era.

Wait, that's crazy. "Someday" is very "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" type of record. I totally get why they tried to snatch that song, it's a hit. It blows my mind how people have been trying to low ball Mariah since day one.

Brenda K. Starr tried it too, laying down 5k for her songs when she was broke, hungry and vulnerable. But MC, even in that situation, was basically like "no thanks". Honestly though, I think she's always been smart like that. Like when she was 14 and did demo vocals for a sketchy local loser band from her hometown, she basically told them, "I'll sing your stuff, but you're gonna help me record my songs, and those songs are mine. You're not involved." Who thinks like that at 14? It's insane. She was even roasting their song writing, "These are so corny, how do you not know what's on rotation on the radio?" LMAO.

Mariah's always known her worth deep inside. Always. And when she says in interviews, "Music was the one thing that made me feel special and worth something", I genuinely believe it.

New album (109,720) by Lambi from USA
I don't know, the Type Dangerous music video is so grand. The writings on the wall says she's ready to burn everything down to the ground just to get that 20th number one. The production looks just as expensive as the latest AIWFCIY video. She's really not playing around.

And the fact that she left Roc Nation, Jay-Z's company, says something. Not sure why this detail matters but homeboy is married to someone who tends to overshadow just about everyone in the industry. Mariah probably woke up to this but one thing is clear, she is fully done letting her hits go unnoticed. I don't fault her though, A No No will always be the bop that got away.

Her move to Gamma feels just like 97, when homegirl flew all the way to Japan to meet directly with the higher-ups at Sony, the ones above Tommy, just to take control of her career and handle her label issues. It has that same lady boss energy.

I believe Mariah probably just had another rude awakening with T:D. It turns out, it's not all about marketing, you need to have a really good song. Like when "My All" came out, it was just objectively good, same feeling you got when Bieber released "Love Yourself". I know MC still got something up her sleeve. She already found a company that's willing to drop bank, which is 50% of the battle, now she just needs to deliver with an undeniably good song and a sharper marketing strategy. If she locks both in, that 20th number one isn't out of reach at all.

I wasn't aware of that, what a shame. The fact that Madonna, also signed to WB, was allowed to co-write while Mariah wasn't initially given that same allowance is absurd, almost blasphemous. I recall reading or hearing that Mariah's signing came down to a bidding war: Warner reportedly offered around $100K, and Sony countered with $300K, ultimately securing the deal. My numbers might be a little inaccurate, but it was something in that ballpark.

Unpopular opinions (109,705) by Lambi from USA
I will give him credit because if he didn't put in effort early on, Mariah probably wouldn't have kids right now. Initially, he was actually a solid match. He just started pursuing his academics and felt Mariah "couldn't keep up" and that the relationship was "stagnant". He most likely stumbled upon ideas about African chiefs who were genetically gifted and were allowed to procreate with anyone to produce strong children and strengthen the tribe. He clearly thinks it's him since he modeled his whole life after it, and tries to justify it because it was a "norm" back then. He now realizes it's the wrong idea to aspire to since he's been caught on record saying Mariah was the greatest and wishes he could have it all back. It's such a shame. It's way too late. All that so-called education he pursued just landed him into a being well-read idiot.

Unpopular opinions (109,695) by Lambi from USA
True. I always believed Nick is a godsend and actually did the impossible. She meant every word of that song. By 39, MC had probably already given up on starting a family. Her biological clock was basically out, and she'd lost trust in all men. But somehow, Nick broke through the cracks and not only earned her trust but reinvigorated her desire for family. They pursued having children together on a tight deadline (basically her last chance) and actually achieved it.

Even though, I resent Nick for being too deep into all the academia ideologies which then led him off the beaten path of fathering fatherless homes. I still am thankful he was instrumental for MC being a mother. He came just at the right time. I felt it extended Mariah's life.

I'll never forget what MC wrote about Roc and Roe, "Of all the many gifts God has blessed me with: my voice, my creativity, my strength - my children are a vision more beautiful than I could have ever conceived". She considers them on par with her God-given talents, which is so deeply beautiful.

My other what if is, "what if Mariah didn't end up with Tommy?" like what if Warner Brothers ended up winning the bid and signing Mariah? I wonder how much this would have changed the trajectory of her whole entire career.

Unpopular opinion - alternate universe (109,692) by Lambi from USA
But Mariah will not be able to pursue having 4 kids at 47. Having Roc and Roe at 42 was already a freaking miracle. I feel that was the absolute limit. These are super fun though. Very creative.

1. Mariah's left side was actually bad. It's only now that she fixed her crooked teeth that it's not bothersome.

2. Long Ago, Fly Away (Butterfly Reprise) ruined the albums they're in.

3. Fly Like A Bird should've been sung in full voice.

4. Majority of Rarities was rightfully scrapped with the exception of Slipping Away and One Night.

5. I Don't Wanna Cry and Someday were mid and weren't deserving of #1.

6. However, "Breakdown" "Underneath The Stars", "Never Too Far" "Through The Rain", "Mine Again", "Migrate", "Love Story (if made acoustic)", "It's A Wrap", "Inseparable", "A No No" all had the potential to be major hits or at least be more relevant when ever her catalogue is brought up.

7. Lambs are unhinged but in a loving crazy way.

Fantasy vs. Honey (109,651) by Lambi from USA
I agree that Fantasy vs. Dreamlover is the more formidable competition. Fantasy would probably win though, simply because it had a greater impact, she essentially mainstreamed pop and hip-hop. Arguably, this is Mariah's greatest contribution to music outside of Christmas since all the pop girlies followed the blueprint shortly after.

A good comparison would also be Dreamlover and Heartbreaker, "dreamlover, come rescue me" parallels "heartbreaker, you got the best of me". They're melodically similar.

I Stay In Love (109,650) by Lambi from USA
I Stay In Love would honestly have been huge with better instrumentation. That repetitive, dizzying, synthesized sound ruined it. The reason why the masses ate up WBT is because of its simplicity. Just vocals, piano and perfectly crafted snares and bass.

One Heart, One Voice (109,590) by Lambi from USA
Thankfully, my name's already short and no, I've never had any beef with anyone named Eric. I've called out the webmaster in the past for butchering my statements and unknowingly taking me out of context, but that's just the journalist in me. To his credit though, he's gotten way better since then.

I've also spoken up about bias and the lack of space for people to defend themselves. That kind of atmosphere is why people end up leaving. It might be just a fan site, but it parallels how people leave countries like China, Russia, and Iran over free speech issues. The stakes are obviously different, but essentially the principle is the same. I felt it's an important issue to be aware of before completely pushing a lot of lambs away.

At the core though, we all just love MC passionately. Most conflicts eventually blow over. I've buried the hatchet with you by the way, lamb. Hope you have a great day.

Appreciate the mediating spirit Bobby A. You are truly a godsend. Keep it up. Everyone's allowed to have opinions of course but everyone is also responsible for their opinions. The lesson here is you can't just say ridiculous things and expect not to be called out on it. It's good to be the adult in the room to snap toddlers back to reality. Therefore members aren't just spewing disrespectful unhinged remarks like, "Her voice is so shot us board members probably sing Hero better than her now." Words have meaning and a reprimand was warranted.

That is funny. I pressed you on this before but you ran away and hibernated. Let me recap what you said, verbatim: "Mariah's voice being damaged beyond repair to the point that a number of us unprofessionals on this board can probably sing 'Hero' better than she can and with no lipping."

"A number of us" so you've appointed yourself a part of some imaginary choir of amateurs who can outsing one of the most technically revered vocalists in music history. Tremendously bold claim. Since you said this your chest, you at least must be a willing representative of the group to back it up, right?

So let's just hear it. Debunk my insinuation that you're out of touch. If you're confident enough to dismiss quite literally the greatest vocalist of all time, a quick vocal clip should be a walk in the park. Or are you just going to go on hibernation again?

Three voices, one problem (109,541) by Lambi from USA
Yup, agreed. It definitely wasn't an organic collaboration. She just played the part of the singer, kind of like when they'd hand a song over to Celine. She probably had little to no interaction with him, just followed the demo's key as accurately as possible, and quickly paid her respects to Barbra.

Living like Babs because it's evergreen (109,532) by Lambi from USA
Every single artist on this Barbra album is simply paying homage to her. She was a part of their growing up, and they really didn't care that it was cheesy.

I know Mariah doesn't acknowledge time, but aging is real, and biology is real. Barbra nearing 90 should signal to you that she really doesn't have much time left and when her time comes, they'll all say, "I'm so glad I said yes to that."

So let's just leave it at that. No need to nitpick and trash it up. It's such a godsend that she's able to live a long life making music. I pray to God Mariah gets to bow out as beautifully and is blessed with the same graceful exit.

Right, and people are allowed to defend their bold claims as well so where is your raw, unfiltered Hero performance? No filter, no effects. Just your voice proving us "unprofessionals" really out sing Mariah today. You talked pretty big so I was really hoping to hear your vocal cords shine.

One Heart, One Voice (109,519) by Lambi from USA
One, Mariah didn't write it. Two, the song is not bad considering 80% of the board here profess their liking to it, it was truly well received. Three, it's really more about Mariah being able to have a special moment with another late diva, Barbra. Aretha already passed and she never got to record anything in the studio with MC. Patricia Carey already passed and I bet you Mariah wishes she did more projects with her. With this context, it should inform you that this collaboration hold some weight for MC. Like your common sense should actually come on. And saying, "it's not a song that needed to be written" should ring to be unbelievably disrespectful and unbelievably tone-deaf.

Are you just deluded with your "music taste" superiority that you thought that was okay to say? It is grandma music but like literally Barbra is nearing 90 years old. What the hell else did you expect?

Also what is up with lambs being like this? "Go on and attack me." It's like they ruthlessly attack someone's artistry and then they get a warranted response and suddenly they're the ones being "attacked". The level of derangement is actually so comedic at this point. Stop gaslighting us.

"It's not a song that didn't need to be written." Okay so since we already have My All, why did Mariah have to write After Tonight and I Only Wanted? We already have so much heartbreak records.

"One of the songs sung before a Super Bowl national anthem with young girls from around the world tryna count steps with lame choreography." Literally what's wrong with that? That's every family gathering and every Sunday church service. That's literally okay. Family suited songs are okay. Songs that can be sung around children are okay.

Perhaps you were upset because you were abruptly awakened, but it might have been better to leave the phone alone for a while and let the mood settle.

This is where lambs lose and are just objectively annoying. Mariah does something with a legend and it's actually quite wholesome. Probably special because she made a friend out of Ari and it's obviously a big deal since she was willing to disregard all beef with Walter just to honor Barbra's invite and some lambs just have to ruin it. We can't have anything nice and wholesome.

What's your thoughts? (109,461) by Lambi from USA
It's a decent song but very forgettable for Mariah's standard. It will fall in the same category as Triumphant, Infinity and GTFO. And to be terribly frank, it didn't deserve that high budget of a video. However, it is great to see Mariah flex her wealth knowing how many people come for her money. It's her way of making them feel dirt poor. Still nonetheless very excited for the rest of the album. I can not wait to hear the Gospel record. Or maybe we will get another "Sunflower For Alfred Roy" moment, dedicated to her mother. And I absolutely cannot wait to hear what she cooked up with Anderson .Paak.

In Occam's razor (109,450) by Lambi from USA
The song is flopping because it is simply not good. The free market will always tell you. Still, we should give Mariah a round of applause for reinvigorating her career. Amazing effort on revitalization, just happened to be the wrong single to invest in. Left turn on single choice but right turn on a career move. We see the effort and I am pretty damn certain she got something up her sleeve. We still all should revel on this moment. Have a great day Lambily.
