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

Re: With you (84,021) (84,023) by Bobby A from United States I love MC. But she better go on vocal rest for 3 days before the AMA performance of Someday and With You. The whole world will be watching and waiting for her to mess up. But I believe she will show up and show out. MImi forget about all that junk and mishaps in the past. Get up on that stage and slay. The cards are just right for her to open the show with Someday and move right into With You. We probably will get the album title and tracklisting the next day or so.

Mariah the songwriter first (83,973) by Bobby A from United States Many people forget that MC is one of the best songwriters this generation will ever know. My top 10 favorite songs where she just really wrote the best lyrics ever. We can't deny she is gifted with writing thought provoking heartfelt lyrics. I can't wait to hear what she has to say on MC15. We are going to be pulling out our dictionaries like we did in the early 1990s. One and Only is my top pick because so may people could relate to it. The lyrics flowed so well that it was almost like she was going to breakout in a rap towards the middle of the song. 1. One and Only - Lyrical rap queen. 2. I Wish You Well - Brillant Bible verse references. 3. Melt Away - Where are you Babyface? MC15 maybe? 4. Outside - Hasn't never been another one this good. 5. My Saving Grace - Showed she can write a gospel classic. 6. Faded - She put MikeWillMadeIt to work on this one. 7. Vanishing - Songwriter skills beyond her years. 8. Vision of Love - A 19 year wrote this gem? Wow. 9. Love Take Time - We miss Walter A's instrumentation. 10. Love Story - Better lyrics than WBT. Johnta Austin all over this gem. And so many more to name. What are your favorite songs that show her gift as a songwriter? (Sunday 23 September 2018; 23:12)

Re: iHeart (83,943) (83,956) by Bobby A from United States She did seem nervous. She can not help it. One aspect being diagnosed with bipolar disorder is also having anxiety. I understand completely how she can experience anxiety when she is not in her normal element. There were people in the audience who were not there just to see her. Trauma affects everybody differently. And childhood trauma especially is not easy to get over. The abusive years with Tommy really exasorbated her already undiagnosed bipolar disorder. Pre 1997, we got the confident Mariah who could command the stage and mask her insecurities. Post 1997 to the Glitter era, we saw a change in her voice and her eventual public breakdown. She could no longer mask her bipolar disorder. It manifested itself on that same stage that she could command easily when she first began her singing career. There are big diva things that MC does that can be a direct result of her bipolar disorder. Sometimes she over does things and fixates on them to make her feel like she is in control and not being controlled. Remember how she use to dress scantily after she and Nick separated. Remember how she gave MIAM such a long weird album title with 17 tracks. Remember when she named her puppies those weird names. Remember how she started lying down while singing and being interviewed. She is the queen of petty - I don't know her. And she refuses to collaborate again with the producer who gave her some of her biggest hits - Walter A. And her most vocalize fixation - not being filmed on her left side and having the best lighting. Tommy and Christie Brinkley told her that and she never let it go. I understand MC completely and that's why I connected with her music. I am different too. Some of you probably already knew that. I am Robert-Anthony. (Sunday 23 September 2018; 12:36)

iHeart Music performance (83,919) by Bobby A from United States Overall MC was good, but what was going on with the backing track to GTFO? The backing track was dragging and kept skipping over certain parts. I really hate the first live performance of GTFO was such a mess. Why did she need a backing track? (Saturday 22 September 2018; 09:14)

When With You drops on October 5 (83,884) by Bobby A from United States We need to make With You #1 on iTunes on October 5. If everybody bought 2-4 copies, streamed the video constantly all day for the first 7 days, and request on the radio every hour, we can give With You an amazing Hot 100 debut on the 11th. Let's get MC back at the top. Let's show MC some love. Who is down With MC? (Thursday 20 September 2018; 03:23)

GTFO reviews keep coming (83,880) by Bobby A from United States GTFO has reached critical acclaim status. MC is getting rave reviews about the lyrics, her vocals, the production, vocal layering and the Porter Robinson sample. Kind of reminds me of the rave reviews she got for One and Only. MC15 is going to be her Thriller. (Wednesday 19 September 2018; 19:09)

Re: While we wait (83,861) (83,867) by Bobby A from United States Great list and conversation starter. But I can't wait anymore. I am ready for the album now. However, one thing that I find interesting is how the weight loss has really helped MC's voice return at least to the Charmbraclet era vocals. We need to help MC have a With You number one debut on October 5. If it is a ballad with the big vocals that everybody has been wanting, then it shouldn't be that hard to push With You to number one on the Hot 100. We can do it.

iHeart Music Festival (83,849) by Bobby A from United States Friday's iHeart music performance of GTFO if it happens, the crowd is going to go crazy. Also, Mimi must have gotten the memo by filming a video before the official first single is released. So far she is really trying to promote her new music. I don't know why I feel this way, but I don't think MC15 is going to get a traditional release date but instead a surprise Thursday at midnight release in October. Wouldn't it be something if she pulled a Beyonce? (Tuesday 18 September 2018; 05:11)

Re: Just a quick update on GTFO (83,834) (83,840) by Bobby A from United States I can't stop listening too. Has anybody listened to it with headphones on? MC doubled her voice differently than she has ever done in the past plus the ad libs after the second verse are a delight. She hasn't sounded this good and rested since Charmbraclet. We are in for some great vocal moments on MC15. (Monday 17 September 2018; 19:19)

GTFO rollout (83,824) by Bobby A from United States I am really impressed with the rollout of GTFO and it leading up to the official first single With You. Didn't TEOM get the same rollout with It's Like That being a buzz single and We Belong Together as the "first real single?" October 5 is going to be another big day for the album reveal details. Kudos to her team. (Saturday 15 September 2018; 21:18)

Re: Actually very surprised by GTFO itTunes placement (83,807) (83,809) by Bobby A from United States This is amazing. More than Lambs are buying GTFO. I wish I was in Atlanta right now to hear it blasted down Peachtree Street. (Saturday 15 September 2018; 02:01)

Re: GTFO (83,784) (83,789) by Bobby A from United States Mariah Is the only artist I know that can give everybody such clever kiss off lyrics to say. Lol. Oh, by the way how many of you think With You is a ballad produced by JD or No ID? I am thinking it's the song Bobby Ross Avila and Johnta Austin was doing in the studio together with MC and JD. Three weeks until it drops. (Friday 14 September 2018; 19:16)

GTFO video (83,740) by Bobby A from United States The video is hot. The best video treatment she has done in a long time. The song is hot. What more can we ask from the hardest working female singer in the business. Let's get GTFO, With You and MC15 to number 1. Huge improvement from the previous singles. Do I smell a Missy and Drake remix? (Thursday 13 September 2018; 19:14)

Re: GTFO (83,715) (83,719) by Bobby A from United States I just heard the whole song. I am really impressed with the melody and her smooth vocals. The ending ad libs are the highlights of the song. It has been reported that is just a buzz single for now. 4 stars. Step up from I Don't. (Thursday 13 September 2018; 14:31)

Re: GTFO snips (83,698) (83,701) by Bobby A from United States I really like the snippet. Sounds like the first verse we are hearing in the snippet. There has to be a banging beat coming in the the second verse. Give it a chance. Why would she choose Bibi Bourrelly as a co-writer and Nineteen85 to produce a boring song? She understands she has to bring it this time. 8:15am tomorrow meet me back here for your praises. (Thursday 13 September 2018; 02:41)

Re: How Bout You (G.T.F.O) (83,660) (83,662) by Bobby A from United States I like it. Rumored to be produced by JD. I hope that it is catchy and gets radio airplay. (Tuesday 11 September 2018; 16:01)

Re: New era (83,641) (83,646) by Bobby A from United States Exciting cryptic messages. This stuff is starting now. Lol. (Monday 10 September 2018; 22:22)

Re: Tamia Passion Like Fire (83,628) (83,635) by Bobby A from United States You are so right. Great album. (Monday 10 September 2018; 05:40)

Jazmine Sullivan vocal style comparison (83,623) by Bobby A from United States I read on the internet that Jazmine Sullivan considers her vocal style similar to MC. She said that she always had that raspy voice and tried to pattern her vocal style after Mariah. Her raspy voice bothered her until she learned to use her voice in middle school. I can really see the comparison in her music and vocal arrangements. I hope that one of the surprise collaborations for MC15 is a collaboration with Jazmine Sullivan. Look at what she did for Mary J. Blige's biggest hit in years with Thick Of It. With MC's current vocal tone, I can see how a Jazmine Sullivan collaboration could really make MC shine on MC15. I really believe MC15 is going to be winning praises from everyone in the music industry when it debuts. It is going to be this year's Reputation. If MC15 doesn't debut in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200, I will not make anymore posts on MCArchives. I promise I will keep my word. I return to my reader status only. Top 5 MC15. Lol. (Saturday 8 September 2018; 16:49)

EW Fall Music Preview (83,616) by Bobby A from United States We will know for sure that the album is coming out this Fall if MC is featured in EW's Fall Music issue. The issue will hit news stands next week. Also USA Today's Fall Music Preview will come out next week. Something is about to happen soon. (Saturday 8 September 2018; 00:15)

Prince Charlez (83,582) by Bobby A from United States He has a great YouTube interview video about how he got his start as a songwriter. His mentor was RedOne (Lady Gaga). They wrote Usher's More together. His songwriting style is very aggressive and hard hitting including his own solo work. He sort of reminds me of Jermaine Stewart and his flamboyant personality. He fits the profile in how MC chooses collaborators. He is young, fresh, unique and a catchy songwriter. Reminds you of JD, right. I guess Rihanna's Needed You made her want to collaborate with him. Check out his song Bitty. Hilarious song title but catchy lyrics and melody. He dances really good in the video. If you want to hear him sing a ballad he wrote, check out Mary J. Blige's Smile. He can really sing. We may just get another Butterfly album really soon. (Tuesday 4 September 2018; 04:40)

The truth will come out (83,574) by Bobby A from United States Stellazilla must be broke now. She really has nerve to openly blackmail Mariah. She really was a dark time in Mariah's life professionally and personally. She is like an itch that won't go away. I know MC should stay quiet but I hope she has shade track on the new album about Stella. (Monday 3 September 2018; 04:37)

Re: Music Box songs ranked (83,565) (83,566) by Bobby A from United States I totally agree. I feel that MC15 is going to be Music Box and Butterfly rolled up into one. I sure hope MC worked with Jazmine Sullivan on a couple of songs for MC15. I am predicting the first single in a couple of weeks right before iHeart. (Sunday 2 September 2018; 14:13)

Vegas last night (83,542) by Bobby A from United States MC looked and sounded freaking amazing last night. Point blank. Wow. Nothing else to say. (Saturday 1 September 2018; 12:38)

New snippet (83,541) by Bobby A from United States Has anybody seen the video of Mariah singing "I know you thought it was a sample" over and over again? A male's voice can be heard saying "hey Mimi". The video originated from Nick's Instagram with him listening to it with his posse. The beat and vocals gave me chills just listening to her sing. (Saturday 1 September 2018; 03:37)
