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

Opening act (107,395) by Bobby A from United States MC really has never had an opening act on her tours, but Trey Lorenz when he opened for MC in support of his album Mr. Mista. Mary J. Bilge likes to headline tours with other R&B male artists to draw a huge head count and for the nostaglia of 90's R&B music. (Tuesday 24 September 2024; 00:02) this is a reply to message 107,394

Opening act (107,394) by Brandon from USA Mary J. Blige just announced a new tour and Mario and Neyo are opening for her. I wonder why MC doesn't tour with an opening act (other than an dj) especially since her shows are often short in duration in comparison to artists. Would [you] like to see her tour with an opening act or just MC? If so, who would [you] recommend? Ashanti? Joe? Brandy? (Monday 23 September 2024; 22:03)

Rose City Works (107,384) by Bobby A from United States MC has linked a distribution deal with Rose City Works to sell the Merry Christmas 30th anniversary merchandise. MC has really out done herself this time with the MC30 anniversary celebration. There are 8 new vinyl, CD, and cassette Merry Christmas items available to order at: www.Mariahcarey.rosecityworks.com. I am sure the industry's wholesaler leader, Alliance Entertainment, will be allowed to sell some items to our local record shops after they sell out on the Rose City Works website. I am just hoping since I want in my hands one of the 3,000 copies produced Original Master Recording Ultra One-Step vinyl record. (Sunday 22 September 2024; 08:43)

Christmas shows (107,382) by Bobby A from United States Are you feeling that this year's Christmas shows are going to be huge? MC is going to give her all during the 20-date tour. Her vocals lately are sounding amazing. (Saturday 21 September 2024; 23:11)

Mariah not socialising with the industry (107,379) by Bobby A from United States Mimi has been on a different level since she became a mother to her twins. (Friday 20 September 2024; 22:35) this is a reply to message 107,376

Mariah not socialising with the industry (107,376) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That is actually not true, there are many photos of Mariah with Diddy post the 90s. Especially around TEOM era they were photographed together a lot including him being on stage with her at one of the TAOM shows. She had also shared in The Meaning of Mariah how Tommy had racist comments about Diddy when Diddy was new and how she defended his artistry when she was asked about it during some kind of gathering. All this doesn't mean she knew what he did and turned a blind eye, she very well could have had a very different experience with him where he wouldn't dare mess with her during the 90s due to Tommy and him being new and after that she was a bigger star than him. So it could be due to her having a different sort of experience with him she didn't know but it's not true that she cut him off after the 90s. A quick Google search will show many photos. [WebmasterL For example, see: Diddy made guest strip naked] (Friday 20 September 2024; 17:16)

Sabrina Carpenter Christmas (107,378) by Bobby A from United States Thank you, Mimi. Taylor Swift's name raises any public figure to new levels. (Friday 20 September 2024; 21:25) this is a reply to message 107,373

Sabrina Carpenter Christmas (107,373) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Her team really put in the work this year, leading with getting her on the Eras tour which got the Swifties behind her. Right before that her 2 songs Nonsense and Feathers were somewhat popular. The Taylor endorsement helped. But she also put out some really catchy, easy to digest pop songs which had throwback good old pop days vibes and almost each song had those viral lyrics like "Espresso" with "I'm working late cause I'm a singer", then "please please please" with "I beg you don't embarrass me MF" which led to so many tiktok reels, and all her videos had very fun replay value. She also has her signature bombshell look down. She basically owned this year haha. I honestly only knew her in passing before she started on the Eras tour. (Friday 20 September 2024; 14:27)

Sabrina Carpenter Christmas (107,369) by Bobby A from United States I am trying to understand her all of the sudden popularity right now. She is on Island Records. (Friday 20 September 2024; 08:22) this is a reply to message 107,367

Sabrina Carpenter Christmas (107,367) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Did you guys see the little teaser video Netflix posted about Sabrina's Christmas special? The video starts from her foot and she's dressed in a Mrs. Claus type outfit, and the camera pans upwards and reveals her face and she says, "Expecting someone else?" Kinda feels like she meant if we were expecting Mariah. And then under a comment about someone saying something about Mariah, Netflix replied with "imagine if they collaborate". Do you guys think Mariah may make a cameo? It'd be fun. Sabrina is fun and quirky and she basically owned this year with back to back bangers. Her song Nonsense reminds me a lot of Ariana-Mariah airy vocals love songs. (Friday 20 September 2024; 00:50)

Rainbow 25th annivesary vinyl (107,364) by Bobby A from United States We are 29 days away from the release day. You will be able to purchase it from your local record store. (Thursday 19 September 2024; 01:27)

Industry problems vs. waning radio airplay (107,362) by Bobby A from United States MC is in the same club as other R&B artists like Brandy, Eric Benet, Trey Songz, Keyshia Cole, Monica, Toni Braxton, and Robin Thicke. They all have not released an album since their last albums were not huge sellers and with waning radio airplay. So is it a music industry problem for older R&B artists or radio programmers just don't cater to older R&B artists anymore? All eight artists could release an album today and it would be better than what Urban AC radio is playing on the radio today by these new young artists. (Wednesday 18 September 2024; 10:20)

I hoped this wouldn't happen (107,356) by Bobby A from United States When the author started throwing out all of those dollar amounts and talking about MC taking out mortagages on her Tribeca home, I knew the article was nothing but lies. (Tuesday 17 September 2024; 12:20) this is a reply to message 107,355

I hoped this wouldn't happen (107,355) by Lee from USA I wouldn't believe anything from the NY Post. It is owned by the same people who owns Fox News and the National Enquirer. Besides, she's stil the best selling female artist in American history. I never had no issue with her diva persona when rappers are given passes for being jerks. (Tuesday 17 September 2024; 11:25)

Memoirs album thoughts 15 years later (107,354) by Bobby A from United States Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel has to be MC's best album title for being creative and making the music buyer want to listen to the album's 17 tracks. The album cover is just gorgeous. Also, too bad Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis didn't have tracks 18-20 on the album. Their addition would have definitely increased sales and airplay. (Tuesday 17 September 2024; 03:57)

The Neptunes (107,349) by Bobby A from United States What is the story behind The Neptunes not allowing MC to have producer credits on Say Somethin and To the Floor? I never heard the full story. (Saturday 14 September 2024; 23:31)

Christmas announcement soon? (107,348) by Bobby A from United States Do you think the huge Christmas announcement [will] come after the China and Brazil shows? I hope she makes the announcement on a morning news program like GMA or the Today Show. (Saturday 14 September 2024; 04:10)

Complex relationship (107,347) by Bobby A from United States She looks gorgeous and happier now. (Saturday 14 September 2024; 04:02) this is a reply to message 107,346

Complex relationship (107,346) by Stacey from USA Anyone who has lost a family member knows the different feelings you can experience. While I miss my dad immensely I can't help but feel peace he's free from all the mental and physical illnesses he dealt with on Earth. Maybe in some ways this will free MC from that strain she often felt with her mom and sister. I hope she finds that peace one day. (Saturday 14 September 2024; 00:25)

MC (107,342) by Bobby A from United States I knew it wasn't going to mean much of anything. I was just surprised someone posted a video of the Atlanta concert. I just always hear Atlanta music artists singing and rapping about Bankhead Highway. Lol. I do miss Atlanta for the music and culture. (Thursday 12 September 2024; 00:07) this is a reply to message 107,341

MC (107,341) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States What does this piece of one song prove? Why did you post [Angels cry] or [It's a wrap]? I don't live on the westside so no Bankhead for me. (Wednesday 11 September 2024; 13:07)

Mariah (107,338) by Bobby A from United States She is looking and sounding good indeed. I like that Daniel Moore has been her musical director this long. He seems to have fun on that piano with MC. (Sunday 8 September 2024; 22:30) this is a reply to message 107,337

Mariah (107,337) by Jamie from UK Aww Mariah is looking and sounding great in her latest post on instagram. Great to see she’s doing well after her awful news the other week. (Sunday 8 September 2024; 21:01)

MC (107,332) by Bobby A from United States C, MC was giving us TEOM vocals that night with no backing tracks. I remember those piercing high notes she gave that night. Do we need to meet on Bankhead Highway? Lol. Check this out. (Saturday 7 September 2024; 21:51) this is a reply to message 107,330

MC (107,330) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States What’s your source on this? (Saturday 7 September 2024; 19:39)

Angels Advocate tour (107,329) by Bobby A from United States That's right Libra. I forgot about that. MC kept us waiting a long time as I remember now. They started playing R&B songs and everybody was just waiting or leaving their seats getting drinks. Then 30 minutes later the band started playing the opening song and MC's voice came on and then it was on. It has always been my best concert ever. The show was suppose to start at 7pm . I We didn't leave until a little before 10pm I think. You won't experience a great R&B concert unless it is in Atlanta. Sometimes I miss living there because of just being able to experience all of the artists who always have a stop in Atlanta. (Saturday 7 September 2024; 01:02) this is a reply to message 107,328

Angels Advocate tour (107,328) by Libra Lamb from USA I remember this concert. It was a hell of a show. She was a bit late but we didn’t care. I had a good time that night. (Saturday 7 September 2024; 00:34)

Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica) (107,322) by Bobby A from United States MC should have won a Grammy for Glitter. Also, according to this article, TEOM was snubbed at Grammys in 2006. I wonder why no one has ever talked about it. (Friday 6 September 2024; 04:23) this is a reply to message 107,316

Don't Stop (Funkin' 4 Jamaica) (107,316) by MusicfanJ from Germany I love it too. I also like the original song. A great sample for a Mariah song. It has this good summer vibe. The three Mariah's were cool. Almost all Glitter songs are underrated. The album is like a musical surprise bag. (Thursday 5 September 2024; 14:38)

Angels Advocate tour (107,320) by Bobby A from United States That is the only tour that I have experienced. It was in Atlanta and her vocals were on point. There were no backing tracks. The crowd went crazy with every song. After the concert, we got to see MC walk out from back of the Fox Theatre onto a Peachtree Street side street and get into the limousine. It was something being that close to MC. I will never forget it. (Thursday 5 September 2024; 22:13) this is a reply to message 107,319

Angels Advocate tour (107,319) by Billy from Greece Really great vocals on this tour. She was especially amazing on "Make It Happen". (Thursday 5 September 2024; 18:57)

Help with my MC ballads playlist (107,312) by Bobby A from United States Thank you Terna. I love it. Never Too Far is a better closing song. I heard MC and a male voice talking throughout Angels Prelude for the first time. I love that you chose to Camouflage after Angels Prelude. It's like the two songs were written at the same time. Why did you choose Yours as the opening song? (Wednesday 4 September 2024; 20:59) this is a reply to message 107,309

Help with my MC ballads playlist (107,309) by Terna from Nigeria Haha. Ok. Let me come up with something real quick. And no "Circles" isn't a great opener.

Never Too Far Check it out on Spotify. (Tuesday 3 September 2024; 21:46)

New male Indie R&B singers (107,308) by Bobby A from United States What do you think about these new male Indie Pop/R&B singers like Chris Tompkins and Aaron Frazer gaining exposure. They both have a following that is increasing and surely more after their U.S. tour starts in September and October. Aaron Frazer's Payback and Dime songs are really good. (Tuesday 3 September 2024; 19:17)

Help with my MC ballads playlist (107,307) by Bobby A from United States Thank you, Terna. It is just me being creative and bored on Saturday night. Lol. I don't have a Spotify account anymore. Do you think Circles is a good opener? Should I close with IWTKWLI or FLB? (Tuesday 3 September 2024; 19:08) this is a reply to message 107,305

Help with my MC ballads playlist (107,305) by Terna from Nigeria I could be of help, I'm quite good at this actually. Is it a Spotify playlist to makes things easier? (Tuesday 3 September 2024; 09:03)

Help with my MC ballads playlist (107,303) by Bobby A from United States I am creating this Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis/Tricky Stewart/The-Dream/Big Jim Wright/James Poyser/Jermaine Dupri/Bryan Michael Cox playlist to relax to next Saturday night.

All Alone In Love (D++ Edit) // Neo Soul Vibes (107,297) by Bobby A from United States I love it. The neo-soul vibe fits AIL perfectly. RJ, what other remixes have you found on YouTube? (Monday 2 September 2024; 14:29) this is a reply to message 107,296

All Alone In Love (D++ Edit) // Neo Soul Vibes (107,296) by 123 from USA Speaking of remixes RA, I loved this updated production to one of my favorites from her debut. I wish she would let other artists cover her album cuts/non number 1s. She has so many hidden gems. (Monday 2 September 2024; 01:51)

Ms. Patti tribute (107,295) by Bobby A from United States I love this performance. (Sunday 1 September 2024; 11:03)
