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

Muni Long's Revenge (107,292) by Bobby A from United States Muni Long's Revenge is the R&B album of the year. Check it out. My favorites are Make Me Forget, Made For Me, Type Questions, Bestie, and Waste No Time. Two of my favorite producers helped Muni Long craft a brillant masterpiece. Tricky Stewart handled production and sequencing the tracklisting. Kuk Kurrell produced Muni's vocals. I wouldn't mind if all three help MC craft her next masterpiece. I have always loved Tricky's and Kuk's production style. I am just waiting for MC to release something in 2025. (Saturday 31 August 2024; 14:18)

Lesser known ballads remixed (107,290) by Bobby A from United States What if Mine Again was made into this huge dance track sampling Finally by CeCe Peniston. Also, I thought about a Subtle Invitation dance version sampling Torn by Letoya Luckett. (Friday 30 August 2024; 20:19)

Mariah's mom and sister died on the same day (107,287) by Bobby A from United States I thought the same thing. She was very emotional during Make It Happen. MIH has always been one of her songs that has held a special place in her heart. I went back and watched this today (at 17:45) and it made think Patricia was always proud of MC. It made me cry when MC put her head on her mother. Also, it made think how I tried to make my mother proud of me, but she could not love me completely without thinking about how my existence on this earth was not in her plans as a 23 year old woman in 1970s.

Mariah's mom and sister died on the same day (107,286) by lighty from China Now I understand why Mariah seemed to be so stiff and sometimes too emotional during certain parts of her recent live shows. Maybe she was thinking about Patricia all the time when performing Make It Happen. All my prayers are with Mariah and her family. Bless. (Wednesday 28 August 2024; 19:29)

(107,282) by Bobby A from United States I feel MC got the closure she needed with her mother. No change will be needed because MC is Mariah Carey. She is already full of so much greatness as a diva. MC is at peace to carry on Patricia's memory speaking and remembering only good things about her mother. (Wednesday 28 August 2024; 00:39) this is a reply to message 107,279

(107,279) by Zachariah from Croatia Guys, how do you think these deaths will affect her? Will she soften the diva behavior, realize that she has lost a part of her family, will she get the inspiration to write all her feelings in a song or an album and release it one day. How do you think this will mold her as a person? I am sure we all deal with loss differently. When my brother died in an accident at work 12 years ago, I was bitter, mad, unpleasant, cold, distant. I had to work hard to pass that and still I am not done. Thoughts? (Tuesday 27 August 2024; 20:07)

Mariah's mom and sister died on the same day (107,271) by Bobby A from United States Y'all let's be nice during this time in MC's life. (Tuesday 27 August 2024; 17:18) this is a reply to message 107,268

Mariah's mom and sister died on the same day (107,268) by Libra Lamb from USA I'm sorry who are you? Nobody, that's who. Calling me nasty, you need to check yourself. My response was well deserved, usually is, so mind your business, you're no one's bodyguard. Read this slowly. Kick. Rocks. I'll say what I want and when I want. You don't have to read my posts. Did you get that? Don't waste your time or data replying either. I'm tired of people presenting their opinions as facts, that's all. (Tuesday 27 August 2024; 14:31)

Mariah's mom and sister died on the same day (107,256) by Bobby A from United States Morgan and MC will be close again. (Tuesday 27 August 2024; 02:33) this is a reply to message 107,255

Mariah's mom and sister died on the same day (107,255) by Edward from USA Your experience and her experience are different. They were very close until E=MC2. I hope they mend their difference and at least forgive each other. Life is too short. In the end, other than Tanaka and her kids, the rest are still around for her coins. (Tuesday 27 August 2024; 01:07)

Mariah's mom and sister died on the same day (107,253) by Bobby A from United States This is so sad. I send my heartfelt condolences to MC. I will be keeping MC and Morgan in my prayers. (Monday 26 August 2024; 23:53) this is a reply to message 107,252

Mariah's mom and sister died on the same day (107,252) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Wow. this is heartbreaking for Mariah. I'm glad she was able to spend the last week with Patricia, but it breaks my heart that it doesn't seem like she was able to mend or be at peace with either Alison or Patricia in the truest sense. Mariah has been open about mending her relationship with her dad before he passed, I hope there was some healing for the three of them before they passed. I also pray that her and Morgan can support each other and find common ground now that they are the only two left of five. So sad. (Monday 26 August 2024; 23:06)

What's the deal, Do You Know (107,248) by Bobby A from United States MC always choses the perfect songs to cover. I like it just as much as I Iike Out Here On My Own. (Monday 26 August 2024; 20:59) this is a reply to message 107,243

What's the deal, Do You Know (107,243) by Shezz from Pk It's a beautiful cover. What's wrong with it now? (Monday 26 August 2024; 04:34)

Justice for Gliiter in 2024 (107,245) by Bobby A from United States This article is the reason why we need justice for Glitter. What can we do? Probably not much until Virgin stops playing hardball with MC because of her huge payout after one album. Virgin won't relinquish full masters rights to MC to allow her to re-release the soundtrack on vinyl as a RSD vinyl or in her own store. I am surprised Virgin allowed her to add the soundtrack to streaming services. Sometimes I think non Lambs don't even know how good the Glitter soundtrack is because of Virgin's hardball tactics. I wish I could have been in that executive conference room when Virgin executives agreed to drop MC and pay her so much to end her contract. Lol. (Monday 26 August 2024; 05:14)

What's the deal, Do You Know (107,242) by Bobby A from United States MC sure has covered a lot of 80's songs. I wonder why. Lol. 1. Open Arms 2. The Beautiful Ones 3. Against All Odds 4. Do You Know Where You Are Going? [1975] 5. Didn't Mean To Turn You On 6. Last Night A DJ Saved My Life 7. Bringin On A Heartbreak 8. I Want To Know What Love Is 9. One More Try (Monday 26 August 2024; 03:42) this is a reply to message 107,241

What's the deal, Do You Know (107,241) by Edward from USA I actually like "Do you know where you're going to?", it's a decent song. "Crapfinity" and "Save the Day" are annoying to me. (Monday 26 August 2024; 01:46)

Kenny G (107,239) by Bobby A from United States Why didn't MC ever do a collaboration with Kenny G. I can't believe one never happened? (Sunday 25 August 2024; 19:07)

Twister (107,238) by Bobby A from United States I knew my video treatment would be taken the wrong way if I didn't fully go detail about video treatment. Twister was a hair stylist. I was thinking MC would be a hairstylist at a hair salon with all of Twister's co-workers. They are all watching a video that Twister made for them about all of the good times that had as friends. Scenes go back and forth with MC and the ladies watching the Twister's video and MC closing up the hair salon reminiscing and singing about Twister until she covers up Twister's chair with a gold and silver cover for the last time. MC's man knocks on the door to pick her up. She opens the door and an Edward look-a-like fine sexy man stands at the door. He says "Babe, are you ready to leave?" MC closes and locks up the hair salon. The last scene we see is the name of shop bearing Twister's name. (Saturday 24 August 2024; 02:47) this is a reply to message 107,237

Twister (107,237) by Edward from USA It would be epic to have someone sing a song about suicide while they're doing your hair. The high notes would be perfect for the moment they pluck out an ingrown hair. (Friday 23 August 2024; 23:29)

Twister (107,235) by Bobby A from United States Great post. I think about Twister all of the time. MC's voice is so strong on this gem. The first line is MC at her best with writing thought provoking lyrics. "She was kind of fragile." "And she had a lot to grapple with." I have always imagined MC styling someone hair singing Twister in a video. (Thursday 22 August 2024; 21:52) this is a reply to message 107,232

Twister (107,232) by MusicfanJ from Germany Last night I had to think of "Twister". It just came to my mind, I don't know why. I haven't listened to it for a long time. This song is very special. The end of it, still heavenly and classic Mariah. (Thursday 22 August 2024; 18:24)

Migrate (107,230) by Bobby A from United States E=MC2 is probably one of MC's best albums to be remixed and reimagined by New York DJ John Morales. He is really good at taking an artist's songs and turning them into something different. Check out his remixed songs by Marvin Gay, Teena Marie, Teddy Pendergrass and this dancefloor jam. (Thursday 22 August 2024; 09:38) this is a reply to message 107,228

Migrate (107,228) by Tevin from USA Those songs are good too. E=MC2 really has no skips for me. I'm even starting to like OOC, even though I hated that song in the past. (Wednesday 21 August 2024; 22:33)

Migrate (107,223) by Bobby A from United States Maybe if a high school cheerleading squad or a couple of high school besties created a football jamboree or homecoming dance routine to an instrumental track, then it would go viral. The lyrics are kind of outdated now singing about getting ready to go to the club and being at the club. No one sings or raps about being at club now. Probably one of MC's most missed opportunities for a number one song. It really makes me wonder if L.A. Reid was really running Def Jam in 2008. He just lacked the same enthusiasm for E=MC2 that he had for TEOM. (Wednesday 21 August 2024; 03:15) this is a reply to message 107,222

Migrate (107,222) by Tevin from USA I don't know why this happened, but all day today I've been thinking of ways to make Migrate blow up on Tiktok. I know it sounds a bit dated but it's still a banger. Any ideas anyone? (Wednesday 21 August 2024; 01:47)

Just a Merry Christmas thought (107,219) by Bobby A from United States Do you think a Merry Christmas duets album could be one of MC's surprises to celebrate the anniversary? She could use her original vocals and just have other artists sing on the songs. I think it could work and make the album sell huge this holiday season. It could feature Post Malone, Brandy, Trey Songz, Kelly Clarkson, The Clark Sisters, Charlie Wilson, and Chris Brown. Just a thought this Sunday. I trust MC is going to celebrate the anniversary in a huge way. (Sunday 18 August 2024; 14:17)

Surprise collaboration (107,218) by Bobby A from United States What do the Lambs think about the Bruno Mars' and Lady Gaga's surprise duet, Die With Smile? I like it. I think the two sound good together. (Friday 16 August 2024; 14:00)

MC talks about a Whitney deep cut (107,208) by Bobby A from United States This is one of MC's favorite Whitney songs. She called it a "deep cut" in an interview that nobody talks about. MC has never mentioned Kashif before. I definitely hear Whitney's influence on There's Got To Be A Way and Someday. I wonder what a MC and Kashif duet would have sounded like in the 90s. (Wednesday 14 August 2024; 03:33)

Revisiting MIAMTEC and Caution (107,200) by Bobby A from United States Did you know that QTip's version of Meteorite was changed by MC to the version that made it onto the album? MC said in an interview that he was mad at her for doing that. I would love to hear his version. (Monday 12 August 2024; 16:24) this is a reply to message 107,197

Revisiting MIAMTEC and Caution (107,197) by Randy from USA Since nothing's coming out of Capri, I thought I'd tell you guys, I'm not being a loser. Excuse me, I'm between jobs, not unemployed. I was walking to the 7-11 and I listened to MIAMTEC intently. It's growing on me. Cry and Faded are as much about Nick Cannon as Butterfly and Side Effects are about Tommy. Each song on MIAMTEC is wildly different. Dedicated, #Beautiful, [You Don't Know What To Do] all sound different. Meteorite sounds like nothing she's ever done before. I still can't believe they chose You're Mine as the single. If they had took Wale off the intro acapella, You Don't Know What To Do would've been at least as big as Obsessed, if not bigger as a first single. But overall, it's not as bad as I originally reviewed. Now, Caution. If Rainbow was made in three months and feels rushed, Caution must've been recorded during a morning shower. The first four tracks are powerful and for such a short album that means over half the album is good. I think The Distance and One Mo Gen are stupid but the album as a whole is still growing on me. I will say Mariah doesn't create bad albums, she creates bad albums when compared to her best work. If Daydream and Butterfly are the diamonds of her collection, MIAMTEC and Caution are Walmart cubic zirconia but I'd still wear them proudly. (Monday 12 August 2024; 03:39)

Gospel or Jazz album before MC16 (107,195) by Bobby A from United States I feel bad now about bringing up Maren Morris. When I see another artist give a great interview or make a significant change in their life, it is so hard for me not think that I am MC's life coach or manager.

Gospel or Jazz album before MC16 (107,188) by Libra Lamb from USA Thank you for your opinions and speculation. (Sunday 11 August 2024; 17:34)

Article: Mariah Carey worries fans after "crying" on stage (107,194) by Bobby A from United States Do you think MC is just lonely? I bet she misses being attached to a man. When you don't have a significant other to dine out or cook or shop with, it can cause a feeling of loneliness. After breaking up with Tanaka, it is probably the longest time she hasn't had a significant other in her life. We have to admit she appeared much happier when she was with Tanaka. Her interviews were good. She smiled more when out in public with Tanaka. MC just geniunely seemed to happier 2 years ago. Now she seems to be so sad and disconnected from the audience, her band, and her singers on a stage she commanded with confidence 2 years ago. I am no Dr. Phil by all means. Just my opinion from my own experience. (Sunday 11 August 2024; 22:47) this is a reply to message 107,190

Article: Mariah Carey worries fans after "crying" on stage (107,190) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I wonder what she's struggling with. That was really sad to watch. Reminds me of years back when she started crying during a performance of Outside (I believe; she was wearing black feathers and had just had that accident on the set of the #Beautiful remix video set), or when she cried at the Christmas concert when her and Nick were breaking up. At least we know she's singing live, but it was hard watching the backup singers and band keep looping back waiting for her to jump back in. I wonder if all the focus and discussion on Celine's struggle with her voice and illness is making Mimi reflect on her own vocal aging. No Olympian can do what they did in their 20's while they're in their 50's. Anyway, it breaks my heart when I see Mariah cry. (Sunday 11 August 2024; 20:39)

Gospel or Jazz album before MC16 (107,181) by Bobby A from United States I guess you don't like The Middle and 80s Mercedes. Lol. (Sunday 11 August 2024; 00:18) this is a reply to message 107,175

Gospel or Jazz album before MC16 (107,175) by BFF from United States Maren Morris is an attention-seeking narcissist lol. I cannot stand it when celebrities come out as "bisexual" or "queer" for the cool factor. It's such a slap in the face to those of us who have been openly gay or lesbian since before it was cool to identify as "LGBTQ+". My question to Morris is, why get married to a man and have a child with him if you always harbored these thoughts? I think people who harbor doubts about their sexual orientation have an obligation to tell people they are planning to marry and with whom they are planning to have children. It isn't fair to the children, and it isn't fair to the ex-spouse. And, yes, before anyone accuses me of sexism or "biphobia", I would argue the same in situations where the person in question is male or if the person in question was a gay man or lesbian woman.

Christmas shows (107,178) by Bobby A from United States Awww Joachim. I pray you feel better soon buddy. Sending love and healing today. (Saturday 10 August 2024; 20:26) this is a reply to message 107,177

Christmas shows (107,177) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I attended the Charmbracelet tour in London in 2003 right before Halloween, and this year I'm actually planning on going back and see her Christmas shows I'm currently hospitalized for depression with previous suicidal thoughts for the second time since 2009. If it hadn't been for my mobile phone and YouTube and the existence of Mariah Carey, I wouldn't have survived. I have to thank Mariah again for saving my life, thank you Mariah. (Saturday 10 August 2024; 19:38)

Much ado about nothing (107,174) by Bobby A from United States MC is definitely going through something. I feel she is back in that overworking herself mode that happened in 2000-2001. Why is she doing so many Vegas shows and not focusing on releasing new music? I understand the Christmas shows, but doing the Vegas shows are kind of unnecessary right now. (Saturday 10 August 2024; 17:27) this is a reply to message 107,173

Much ado about nothing (107,173) by Edward from USA Mariah is clearly relying on lip-syncing to pre-recorded tracks quite a bit. She might sing a few words live here and there, but the lipping is at an all-time high. When you compare footage from different shows, the only thing that changes are her spoken or talk-sung parts; everything else seems to be pre-recorded. Additionally, she frequently appears a dazed, whatever medication she's on seems to be affecting her movement, speech, and even the parts she sings live. I'm not criticizing her; she needs to take her meds to manage her bipolar disorder, but it's evident that she's on some strong stuff. (Saturday 10 August 2024; 16:50)

Gospel or Jazz album before MC16 (107,172) by Bobby A from United States Maybe MC should release a gospel or jazz album first instead of MC16. I was just thinking a gospel or jazz would catch the world off guard. It could garner MC lots of praises for stepping into a new genre with a full album. I believe she could pull off both a gospel or jazz album effortlessly even with her current voice. Maren Morris gave me this idea. Maren said goodbye to country music, put her personal life on forefront, and released an EP this week called Intermission. Now the media is talking about her again for her personal life (she came out as being bisexual) and leaving country music to go pop. Maren gave a great ABC Nightline interview yesterday. MC should follow in Maren's footsteps with a high profile interview and full album in a new genre. (Saturday 10 August 2024; 13:21)
