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

AMAs performance (107,504) by Bobby A from United States MC would be smart to release a triology set in 2025 that includes MC16 (Q2), a jazz or gospel album (Q3), and The Butterfly Lounge (Q4). Surely, she has enough recorded material for three releases next year. Maybe a trilogy title like: Love, Blessed, and Beautiful. Who cares if they are not platinum sellers in a Taylor Swift record breaking sales era. (Saturday 12 October 2024; 01:27) this is a reply to message 107,503

AMAs performance (107,503) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I kinda am hoping she's getting TEOM celebration out of the way this year so she can focus on new material next year. Wishful thinking haha. Another theory is that she's doing TEOM early because it's MC 35 next year. (Friday 11 October 2024; 21:00)

AMAs performance (107,500) by Bobby A from United States I just want MC16 next year. (Friday 11 October 2024; 14:30) this is a reply to message 107,499

AMAs performance (107,499) by Shezz from Pk I personally don't like going down that rabbit hole anymore. It looked partly lipped but she looked great, worked on a new arrangement, everyone loved it - job well done, no need to over analyze it I think, on to Mariah season now. (Friday 11 October 2024; 06:54)

Merry Christmas 30 (107,490) by Bobby A from United States Look again on X. She doesn't look cross eyed anymore. Her team edited the cover. I think MC looks gorgeous on the covers. (Thursday 10 October 2024; 04:34) this is a reply to message 107,489

Merry Christmas 30 (107,489) by Jamie from UK Just seen Mariah has posted about two physical singles on AIWFCIY with two new covers. The first one is cute but the second one she looks cross eyed. Not sure I’ll be buying these to be honest. I hope we get more surprises for MC30. (Wednesday 9 October 2024; 21:22)

Robert Anthony (107,488) by Bobby A from United States Thank you, David. (Wednesday 9 October 2024; 13:54) this is a reply to message 107,475

Robert Anthony (107,475) by David from USA I come on this board often; I comment very rarely. When I do comment, it's usually to note the negativity and nastiness of Mariah's "fans" here. Robert is always positive and civil - and he's respectful to Mariah even when perhaps giving constructive criticism. We could all learn from him and, as far as his frequent posts, this board would be dead without him. (Tuesday 8 October 2024; 15:06)

AMAs (107,474) by Bobby A from United States First, MC sounded and looked amazing last night. Second, I am not going anywhere anytime soon. However, I am going to scale back my posts until another fabulous Mimi moment like last night brings us back to get together in delight. I was clinging to MC's every note last night. I even heard those subtle transition notes on the second verse. (Tuesday 8 October 2024; 01:09) this is a reply to message 107,473

AMAs (107,473) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I rewatched the performance multiple times and it just warms my heart to see Mariah slowly but surely gaining her confidence back. I also loved the different arrangements she did in some parts of the song. How is this song almost 2 decades old but still gives people goosebumps? What a modern classic. Mariah looked like a true glamorous Hollywood diva. I'm so happy for her. She's been going through such a difficult time in the past few months and the fact that she's finding peace in her music, performance and fans is amazing to see. Not to mention the GP can't seem to get enough of her. She'll truly always be a queen. (Monday 7 October 2024; 21:23)

AMA's anticipation is high (107,455) by Bobby A from United States Is that really the sentiment amongst the board members? Okay, I hear everyone loud and clear. Going forward, I will limit my posts. I don't want you to get to that point and you say "I don't know him." (Sunday 6 October 2024; 22:33) this is a reply to message 107,454

AMA's anticipation is high (107,454) by Edward from USA Robert-Anthony just tends to have a lot of feelings. When the board goes quiet, he panics and jumps in with a random topic just to keep the conversation alive. But don’t take him for granted, one of these days, he might get himself a boyfriend, and the frequency of his messages could drop to just four or five per day. Then you'll end up missing him. We love ourselves some Robert-Anthony. (Sunday 6 October 2024; 20:10)

AMA's anticipation is high (107,450) by Bobby A from United States MC said during an E. News interview that she is starting her performance with an intro with DFAU and then will go into WBT. I am suspecting she will include ILT, IWYK, and end with a huge choir moment with FLB. (Sunday 6 October 2024; 14:31) this is a reply to message 107,448

AMA's anticipation is high (107,448) by Shezz from Pk Yes, I can't wait. So it looks like she is doing a medley. I am so happy she's rearranging them and being creative. That way even if it's not fully live at least it'll be something new with some effort behind it. I don't know if it's deliberate or not but all the performers seem to be old schoolers. Not one current pop artist. J Hud seems to be the youngest of the lot. I understand it's for their 50th show but all the nominees are current acts. Ps. I love love love Mariah's look for the AMA interviews. (Saturday 5 October 2024; 18:30)

AMA's anticipation is high (107,447) by Bobby A from United States I am so excited for MC's performance on Sunday. I know she is going do well. I really feel she is going to have a huge recogition before her performance. By the way, why is everyone so quiet this month? (Saturday 5 October 2024; 13:17)

Article: Mariah Carey starts Christmas season early (107,446) by Bobby A from United States MC is such a comedian. She knows how to make us laugh. (Thursday 3 October 2024; 21:59)

DFAU (107,444) by Bobby A from United States Right. I am trying to figure out how many awards shows has MC done an orginal/dance remix type of performance. I know the Heartbreaker/Love Hangover performance was released on a maxi CD single as well. If she does that type of performance for DFAU, it would be really cool. This is definitely the AMAs to record on your DVR to watch later during the holiday season. (Wednesday 2 October 2024; 23:24) this is a reply to message 107,443

DFAU (107,443) by jaker20 from US This reminds me of Toni Braxton's remix performance of Unbreak My Heart remix, and also Mariah's own My All version at Diva's Live where she switched the end from ballad to upbeat, dance remix. That's what she should do with DFAU. Lambs don't seem to consider this song as one of her best, but I personally love it. But I would love a good twist. (Wednesday 2 October 2024; 22:45)

DFAU (107,442) by Bobby A from United States Thanks, Mimi. That is what she should do for DFAU. It was #1 on two Billboard dance charts in 2006. Many people will think it is new version for the ceremony. MC could record new vocals just like she did for Portrait earlier this year and use for the ceremony. Oh well, her performance will be a surprise to us all on Sunday. (Wednesday 2 October 2024; 11:57) this is a reply to message 107,441

DFAU (107,441) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So basically she did a mashup of the original with the Morales remix. Like she does a mash up for WBT with WBT desert storm remix during some performances. You can find the mashed up version on her Spotify, under the My All EP. (Wednesday 2 October 2024; 04:07)

DFAU (107,439) by Bobby A from United States It might be just DFAU so that she is able to put on a great performance about six minutes long ending with the Quentin Shelter remix. I am just hoping for a dance performance of DFAU. Someone enlightened me in my old age, the dance version of My All that MC performed on the VH1 Diva's special, was that a version she sang just for the special or is that one of the My All 12 inch remixes? I can't remember and my MC records are mixed in with my vinyl records scattered all around my apartment. (Tuesday 1 October 2024; 23:04) this is a reply to message 107,438

DFAU (107,438) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes off the promo but also in Mariah's statement she says she will be performing "a song". (Tuesday 1 October 2024; 13:53)

DFAU (107,436) by Bobby A from United States MC will probably include DFAU in the medley since it did help MC sell a million more copies of TEOM. I just hope she doesn't open the ceremony. I want her to have this huge introduction and performance somewhere in the middle of the ceremony. It just seems right for a female artist who is the Diana Ross of our time. (Tuesday 1 October 2024; 12:24) this is a reply to message 107,435

DFAU (107,435) by Shezz from Pk Mimi L. are you basing that off the promo Mariah posted featuring DFAU? Billboard and another site reported a medley - I think she'll definitely do a medley. She has so many songs to choose (based on her celebration tour) from it - could be really fun: It's like that Shake it off We belong together Circles Your girl Don't forget about us Fly like a bird Or as you said, maybe a mash up. I hope she gets creative. (Tuesday 1 October 2024; 07:38)

(107,434) by Bobby A from United States I guess we will know how worse her voice has gotten. Thank you for your response, Shezz. I am going to move on from this topic about MC's voice. (Monday 30 September 2024; 23:57) this is a reply to message 107,430

(107,430) by Shezz from Pk Robert Anthony, I think we are forgetting the live performances she was giving early last year. I made an effort not to see them because they made me uncomfortable. And if MC is one thing, she's self conscious and cares how she appears. I think she made a conscious decision after that that she'd rather fully lip and only look bad to the handful of us who notice rather than sound bad and off key to the entire world. To the average listener, the vocals she's recorded for this year's live shows seem very much live. Do I wish she could still sing live? Yes I do. Am I going to renounce my lambily passport if she keeps lipping? Never in a million years. I'm more interested in the music she releases to add to her catalog that I'll be listening to until I'm old and have no teeth. Will I care then whether she lipped or sang live 40 years ago in Beijing or Rio or Vegas? I think not. There are much bigger issues in the world to lose sleep over. (Monday 30 September 2024; 11:41)

(107,429) by Bobby A from United States No, I am not trolling. Lol. Can a Lamb have hopes and dreams for MC to sing live without backing tracks? I have really had a concern lately for MC using backing tracks during live shows. The audience would really embrace her current voice, if she wouldn't make a big thing about it by using backing tracks so much. (Sunday 29 September 2024; 23:30) this is a reply to message 107,428

(107,428) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States Are you trolling? (Sunday 29 September 2024; 20:40)

Reflections (Care Enough) (107,427) by Bobby A from United States I did some research on Phillipe Pierre. He is Haitian and has written mostly for Haitian bands according to his Discogs page. MC is his first major artist he has collaborated with. Maybe Mary Ann or Melonie Daniels introduce Phillipe to MC through one of their friends. (Sunday 29 September 2024; 19:58) this is a reply to message 107,425

Reflections (Care Enough) (107,425) by BFF from United States It is really unique amongst her ballads. The liner notes indicate that she composed it with someone named Philippe Pierre. I've never heard her mention him in any interviews before, and I wonder how that collaboration came about. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are credited as co-producers on it. (Saturday 28 September 2024; 19:13)

Reflections (Care Enough) (107,424) by Bobby A from United States There is something different how MC executed this gem on the Gliitter soundtrack. It just doesn't seem like a typical Mariah Carey ballad. (Saturday 28 September 2024; 01:55)

(107,421) by Bobby A from United States I woke up this morning that knowing MC is going to perform live without a backing track. She can do it. We need to hear her current vocals live sung one or two keys lower. (Friday 27 September 2024; 13:15)

Kelly Clarkson (107,417) by Bobby A from United States I love these Christmas rumours and how she is going MC30 this Christmas season. Sabrina and Kelly could definitely keep MC on everyone's Christmas list. What would really be cool is if the both of them joined MC on her annual it's time video. MC did say this summer that she had some surprises for us to celebrate the Merry Christmas 30th anniversary. (Thursday 26 September 2024; 22:34) this is a reply to message 107,414

Kelly Clarkson (107,414) by Shezz from Pk Haha It was just the one with her looking a little cross eyed. I didn’t save it. Also, insider rumour alert: Mariah x Sabrina. Probably MC30 and/ or SC’s Christmas special. That’s one smart step from Mariah if it’s true. Whatever SC has touched this year has gone top 2. It’ll definitely get her some of the attention she deserves beyond AIWFC. (Thursday 26 September 2024; 18:52)

AMA's (107,416) by Bobby A from United States Oops, I see now that is a special anniversary ceremony. (Thursday 26 September 2024; 19:16) this is a reply to message 107,412

AMA's (107,412) by BFF from United States Billboard reports that she will perform a medley of songs from "The Emancipation of Mimi". (Thursday 26 September 2024; 15:26)

AMA's (107,415) by Bobby A from United States Yes. The show is really early this year. It has been in November for awhile now. Maybe she will end the medley with FLB with huge choir moment. (Thursday 26 September 2024; 19:12) this is a reply to message 107,411

AMA's (107,411) by Jamie from UK Mariah [is] to perform at the AMA's on October 6th. I wonder what she will sing. (Thursday 26 September 2024; 14:39)

Brazil concert (107,407) by Bobby A from United States Wow. I never knew about the Brazilian soap opera. I don't care what anyone says, no other female can sing a pop ballad like MC. I miss her singing pop ballads. She could sell easily 2 million albums in 2025 if MC16 had 7-10 pop ballads even with her current vocals. I would love for MC to cover Daryl Hall's Every Time You Go Away with a huge choir moment ft. an all male chorus. (Thursday 26 September 2024; 00:30) this is a reply to message 107,404

Brazil concert (107,404) by Carlos from Brazil The song was definitely fueled by a soap opera that was quite popular at the time called "Viver a Vida". The song was the theme for the character called Luciana who got on to live on a wheelchair after an accident. Her story is quite dramatic and she has a romantic relationship that was very beautiful and the song played on almost every scene she was. That is the main reason. The second is that Mariah is really loved here for those arena ballads. There are many older fans and older people in general here that really prefers her singing "Without You", "Hero" and I guess IWKWLI was a return for her ballader days and a less R&B/urban sound. (Wednesday 25 September 2024; 13:30)

Kelly Clarkson (107,406) by Bobby A from United States This is something that I have been wanting for two years. MC and KC would sound so good together on a new Christmas song. Let's hope it happens this year. (Wednesday 25 September 2024; 23:50) this is a reply to message 107,403

Kelly Clarkson (107,403) by Todd from Sydney, Australia I just saw on KCs insta, she was doing a quick interview on her walk to set. She mentioned that she's excited about some music stuff she's been working on, to which the interviewer asked "Can we get any teasers?" Kelly replied "Ummm. She might like Christmas." Imagine if KC and MC teamed up. That would be incredible. (Wednesday 25 September 2024; 12:04)

Brazil concert (107,400) by Bobby A from United States I am glad that you enjoyed yourself. You know she had to give a special surprise at the end and sing her signature song there. I often wonder why IWTKWLI resonated so with the citizens of Brazil back in 2009-2010. Carlos, do you know why? It had 27 weeks at number #1. It will probably always be the biggest song of her career in Brazil. (Tuesday 24 September 2024; 20:24) this is a reply to message 107,399

Brazil concert (107,399) by Carlos from Brazil It was absolutly a surreal experience. I felt like I was leaving my body. I've been a fan for 20 years so to see her in person was a life changing moment. I felt like she was like really real. Her voice is so pretty, her songwriting is awesome and she is one of the prettiest women ever. The Brazilian outfit and the butterfly dress is now iconic. I went to the São Paulo concert and it was as amazing as the Rock in Rio show, even better. Her Portuguese is cute. She came back for the IWKWLI without her shoes haha. 50k people singing with her. It was the happiest day of my life. (Tuesday 24 September 2024; 17:58)

Opening act (107,397) by Bobby A from United States I knew my Sean Paul omission would bring you out of hibernation. Lol. (Tuesday 24 September 2024; 02:28) this is a reply to message 107,396

Opening act (107,396) by Edward from USA Sean Paul was the opening act for Mariah Carey's The Adventures of Mimi: The Voice, The Hits, The Tour. (Tuesday 24 September 2024; 00:53)
