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

Caution album (85,358) by Bobby A from United States I am wondering what her team has planned for the November 16th release day. Because Caution is going to be MC's Thriller, she needs a huge promotional event day. This is her best cohesive work since TEOM. I remember some big release day events for TEOM and E=MC2. Something big has to be planned to hype up and drive Caution album sales. Lots of opportunities like GMA performance, Mariah and collaborators question and answer on Facebook, Empire State Building lit up in pink and blue, E network Caution special or James Corden performance. I am hoping for a SNL performance on November 17th. Only time will tell what is going to happen on November 16th. Would MIAM had performed better if it was rolled out in the same way as Caution?

Re: Mariah in Manila (85,350) (85,355) by Bobby A from United States I noticed that as well. She is cutting the notes short on the four Caution tracks we have heard so far. (Saturday 27 October 2018; 16:10)

Re: A No No (85,314) (85,344) by Bobby A from United States This track is sick. MC ain't playing with Caution. I am telling everybody this is MC's Thiller y'all. Who ever is leaking the track - stop please. (Saturday 27 October 2018; 02:08)

Re: Caution album (85,337) (85,341) by Bobby A from United States I just hope no more tracks leak. I just saw the track listing on a blog website with only 10 songs. Four of them we have already heard. I want an element of surprise for the other 6 songs. Surely there will be a Target Exclusive with 5 extra songs since Barnes and Nobles booksellers has an exclusive blue vinyl. Target is where the Christmas CD sales will be during the last quarter of 2018. The track listing is killing me with anticipation. Lol. (Saturday 27 October 2018; 01:24)

Caution album (85,302) by Bobby A from United States How many of you think that Caution only having 10 tracks listed on Amazon and iTunes is a ploy to keep the tracklisting a secret until a week before November 16th? I just find it odd that other retailers are saying the tracklisting will be announced at a later date. MC must have some hot features and producers she doesn't want revealed until the very last week. More people do pre-orders on Amazon and iTunes than other retailers. It is going to be very interesting when the tracklisting comes out. What if there is a Jazmine Sullivan and Ryan Tedder collaboration or even Drake and Travis Scott? If so people will buy Caution like hot cakes. I am loving this Caution era.

Re: Limited edition of Caution (85,229) (85,235) by Bobby A from United States The limited deluxe edition of Caution explains why there is a standard 10-track edition on Amazon listed for 7.99. The standard edition is for the general curious buying public while the limited deluxe edition with extra tracks will be for the Lambily. We probably won't get a Target Exclusive now since there is an limited deluxe edition. When the tracklisting is revealed, I think we all will be pleased. (Wednesday 24 October 2018; 03:07)

Caution World Tour (85,212) by Bobby A from United States What a surprise today. I can't wait for February. This has to be the best album rollout since TEOM. Three songs available to download before the album drops and a world tour annoucement. I think no one saw how this rollout was unwrapping when GTFO dropped in September. I can tell a lot of thought and planning took place for the Caution rollout. I am impressed with RocNation's and Melissa's rollout plan for Caution. I guess they learned from Anti's rollout. I am predicting Caution is going to sell a heck more than MIAM. Lol. (Tuesday 23 October 2018; 04:02)

Re: Caution album (85,125) (85,128) by Bobby A from United States Man, I am just joking about the tracklisting and needing it now. Loosen up. You say what you want to say on here. Don't you bro. And when you say it you sound so negative and mean. Don't take me too seriously on this forum. I have all of my compacities and then some. I would love to meet you one day. Thank you. (Saturday 20 October 2018; 00:58)

Caution album (85,118) by Bobby A from United States I want the full tracklisting like right now. Why is she waiting so long to release the full tracklisting if there are only 10 songs on the album? Unless she has some more surprises in store like a Target Exclusive Deluxe Edition. I would love for the Standard Edition to be 10 songs and Deluxe Edition to have 7 extra songs.

Re: Distance - my theory (for laughs) (85,115) (85,117) by Bobby A from United States You are 100% right. That is why GTFO is track 1 and With You is track 2. The Distance is track 5. I am curious what is the subject of tracks 3 and 4. Maybe Stella? (Friday 19 October 2018; 18:36)

Re: Roc Nation (85,059) (85,067) by Bobby A from United States You are so right. Just a month ago, some us were so worried about the new era upon hearing GTFO. Two weeks ago, we became increasingly more worried about the direction MC was taking with MC15 when With You premiered. Well, Monday she released the album title and today we are singing praises for The Distance. I admit that I was worried too after hearing With You being positioned as the first single. But today I am not worried anymore. MC and her team showed us that we should worry no more. They have clearly showed us - we got this Lambs. You all just get your money ready for the 11/16. Caution, just join us for the ride. MC ain't playing this time with Caution. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 23:10)

Re: Pre-order surprise (85,040) (85,056) by Bobby A from United States I am loving the way her team is rolling out her new music leading up to the album release date. Let's recap how Caution is unfolding. 1. GTFO buzz single with video - September 14th 2. With You first single with AMAs performance and black white video same week - October 4th 3. Caution album release date - 11/16 - October 15th 4. Caution pre-order date - 11/18 with Spotify track download - The Distance ft. Ty Dolla $ign 5. Fan reaction in the wee hours of the morning was crazy. We didn't expect to hear another track from the album. She caught us off guard with that one. Well done, MC. Has anybody else rolled out an album in this way recently? I am predicting we will get an announcement that The Distance will be the second single and get tracklisting information the week of October 22nd. Radio is going to play The Distance for sure. FYI, MC is competing with Michael Buble's album Love on the 11/16. I know MC will beat Buble in sales. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 19:43)

Caution album (85,029) by Bobby A from United States Amazon is listing only 10 tracks on Caution. So, does that mean there will be a Deluxe Edition with more tracks? Surely, there has to be more than 10 tracks. I am hopeful for a Target Exclusive. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 10:38)

The Distance (85,022) by Bobby A from United States MC delivers another nice track featuring my man Ty Dolla Sign written with Lido, Skirellx, and Poo Bear. She ain't playing this time. The album is shaping up to be just what we have been asking for. I love the new direction her team is taking to promote the album. November 16th hurry up, please. (Thursday 18 October 2018; 08:22)

Re: Mariah and Busta (84,969) (84,980) by Bobby A from United States Thank you for posting. I have been looking for this YouTube video. (Wednesday 17 October 2018; 03:55)

Official album cover (84,958) by Bobby A from United States It is on her Twitter page. And it is hot. It is such a attention grabber. I can't wait to see the insert. (Tuesday 16 October 2018; 19:19)

Re: The Caution album title (84,908) (84,915) by Bobby A from United States I feel you Andrew. Did I just say that? Lol. It really feels like the first MC album title not in the fantasy realm or look at me arena. One word album title always grabs the world's attention. Without thinking in terms of album sales, Caution is going to be MC's Thriller. Mark my word. Who is she telling to proceed with caution? I can't wait to find out that answer. Lambs this is an exciting time for the production on Caution. We will have songs by Poo Bear, Skrillex, Mike Will Made It, No ID, Nineteen85, DJ Mustard, Blood Orange, Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox, Johnta Austin, Bobby Ross Avila, Diane Warren, Cristal Nicole, and many more surprise collaborators. I can't stop smiling for what MC is about to drop in one month. Somebody order me a bottle Remy. Lol. (Monday 15 October 2018; 23:06)

Re: Caution (84,899) (84,907) by Bobby A from United States I love the short album title. It's short and intriguing. I hope the pink ribbon caution picture is the album cover. She is listening to us and her new team. You go MC. (Monday 15 October 2018; 19:18)

Re: New album title and release date (84,887) (84,905) by Bobby A from United States This is day we have been waiting on for 3 years. Finally, we can hear what she has to say since MIAM. Just in time for my Thanksgiving roadtrip. I am so happy for MC. (Monday 15 October 2018; 19:12)

Re: Missing crowd of fans in Japan (84,849) (84,859) by Bobby A from United States Now that is funny as heck. I can't stop laughing. (Sunday 14 October 2018; 01:30)

Re: New Mariah Carey song co-written by Fresco Kane (84,855) (84,858) by Bobby A from United States In 1990 - if we got the TEOM Mariah (free of Tommy) instead of the VOL Mariah would we be so hard on her for everything she does right now? I just think in 1990 Mariah was groomed to be sweet Mariah who didn't put curse words in her songs and drink Remy in the studio with rappers. Tommy wasn't going to have any of that foolishness. Since she has been set free, she is going to make up for all that lost time she couldn't do what she wanted to in the 90s. This is who Mariah is and we can talk about how this behavior makes her look bad all day; she is not going to change. She is eternally 12. Lol. (Sunday 14 October 2018; 01:25)

Re: New album (84,838) (84,848) by Bobby A from United States It's interesting that MC's last show in Asia is November 9th. The following week is November 16th. Maybe be we will be surprised before Thanksgiving with a new album. Was E=MC2 the last album where a release date was set and the album dropped exactly on that date? Every album since then has been filled with push backs, delayed release dates and flop singles, And now with MC15 we just sit and wait for a public announcement to happen when she feels the time is right. I hope her team has a promotional plan that will put MOIA and MIAM to shame. I don't think her legacy can stand another flop album. Three years of songwriting and recording in the studio should not produce a flop album. Look at what happened to Usher's last album Hard II Love. It flopped big time and Usher just released Friday the worst album of his career called A for Atlanta with Zaytoven. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 21:49)

Re: New Mariah Carey song co-written by Fresco Kane (84,820) (84,837) by Bobby A from United States I feel you on this one. Why did she need him in the writing session? Sometimes MC makes me pull out what little hair that I have left with these unknown songwriters and rookie rappers. I have never heard of him before. I guess he will get his $3,000 dollar check deposited in his account by March. Maybe one day JD should sneak Walter Afanasieff into the studio and leave them there to hash out their differences and resume making magic again. Before JD leaves, he should tell Mariah that she is in excellent hands and say forgive him. But I know I am dreaming. Hell will freeze over before that ever happens. Lol. We need beautiful magic for MC15 and not fluffy weak album tracks with a JD protegee. (Saturday 13 October 2018; 14:55)

(84,810) by Bobby A from United States Happy weekend. I don't know about everybody else, but GTFO and With You have made me want the album even more. I wouldn't mind if she just dropped the album one Friday without notice. She probably would garner more album sales and plus release the second single and video. Just my thoughts on this rainy weekend. (Friday 12 October 2018; 23:29)

Re: With You (84,718) (84,733) by Bobby A from United States The video is just beautiful. Should have been released last week. Oh well, MC should go ahead and release the album title and release date to generate more views and spins of With You. I hate when she drags her feet in being forth coming about album information. I wonder what will be the next step if With You doesn't get any radio airplay. At this point, Lambs want a whole album this year. (Thursday 11 October 2018; 05:04)
