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

Vacation (108,668) by Bobby A from United States Thank you, Zachariah. Have fun in Bali. I hear it is gorgueous there. I love Tenneseee in the summertime. There's nothing like sweet tea with a deli sandwich lunch or pasta entree at dinner. At restaurants, the waitresses call you honey and sugarplum. That just makes me feel right home when I visit Nashville. (Sunday 4 May 2025; 00:36) this is a reply to message 108,665

Vacation (108,665) by Zachariah from Croatia Sounds like a great trip. I am visiting Bali this year, all alone. Finally. I hate traveling with others. (Saturday 3 May 2025; 11:43)

Vacation (108,659) by Bobby A from United States Thank you, Shezz. I am headed to Nashville, Tennessee. I haven't been since I moved to Austin, Texas. It looks like I will have to stay an additional 2 years here in Austin to save some moving money. I am so excited to get back to Nashville because they have the best CD/vinyl record shops and restaurants. Do you have any vacations plans?

Vacation (108,656) by Shezz from Pk Have a great vacation Bobby A. Where are you going? I can't wait for the re-energized Bobby. (Friday 2 May 2025; 06:26)

Article: What else does the Hall of Fame want from Mariah? (108,650) by Bobby A from United States Things will get better soon. I just know it. I am going on my first summer vacation in two years. (Thursday 1 May 2025; 23:32) this is a reply to message 108,647

Article: What else does the Hall of Fame want from Mariah? (108,647) by Libra Lamb from USA Don't forget to stretch when reaching so high, don't wanna pull a muscle. I hope your 401 K wasn't flushed down the toilet with this new admin. (Thursday 1 May 2025; 16:56)

Article: What else does the Hall of Fame want from Mariah? (108,642) by Bobby A from United States I believe that is the reason why MC felt she couldn't work with Walter A. anymore after Butterfly. (Thursday 1 May 2025; 01:27) this is a reply to message 108,641

Article: What else does the Hall of Fame want from Mariah? (108,641) by Stacey from USA I can't help but wonder if Tommy played a role in getting MC shutout at the Grammys. She was pushing further into R&B, something TM despised. Daydream was a commercial success but maybe Tommy orchestrated the shutout at such a high profile event to "shut up" Mariah and push her back to pop/adult contemporary. (Thursday 1 May 2025; 01:16)

One Heart, One Voice (108,640) by Bobby A from United States I am praying it leads to a Walter A. and MC collaboration. I truly believe they have forgiven each other and have moved on. It would be the 360 circle needed for MC's career. Walter A. knows MC's voice and how to make her shine on a song. We can't deny that about him. Baby from Dreamville, what are your thoughts about the new collaboration and Walter A. producing it. The title, One Heart One Voice reminds me of the letter you penned to MC some months ago. (Thursday 1 May 2025; 01:11) this is a reply to message 108,638

One Heart, One Voice (108,638) by Brad from USA Interesting to see that Walter A. produced this album for Babs. Perhaps very interesting. We will see. (Wednesday 30 April 2025; 21:28)

Article: What else does the Hall of Fame want from Mariah? (108,631) by Bobby A from United States I have never thought MC's diva persona could be the reason, but it could be. I would love to know what is being said in some these board rooms where the nominees were discussed and chosen. (Tuesday 29 April 2025; 21:01) this is a reply to message 108,628

Article: What else does the Hall of Fame want from Mariah? (108,628) by TJ from Norway That was a really good article. I also believe that Randy is correct about all the diva act keep her and rest of the world separate. People doesn't take her serious. Another perspective is that her voice was so good, that I guess people did think of her as a product, made by the record company. (Tuesday 29 April 2025; 15:01)

Snubbed again (108,625) by Bobby A from United States I think that I have figured out why MC's contribution to the music industry is slighted and so marginalized. When MC came onto the music scene, she came right at the height of Whitney's success. In fact, her arrival on the music stage was much bigger than Whitney's arrival. MC wasn't suppose to be bigger and sell more records than Whitney. It is like she is being punished for writing her songs, having her own singing style, and resonating so much with her fans and the pop music world more than Whitney did. I typed the following in as a Google search. "Is Mariah Carey's no Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominee marginalized?" The AI answer that came back was shocking, but so true as to why MC was snubbed a second time. (Tuesday 29 April 2025; 03:59) this is a reply to message 108,624

Snubbed again (108,624) by Lee from USA If they could hold a grudge, so can Mariah. Maybe she could get a measure of revenge on this hypocritical industry. She could beat The Beatles finally with her last album. Or, she could work with more controversial artists. (Tuesday 29 April 2025; 02:28)

Snubbed again (108,622) by Bobby A from United States Do you think a group of label executives have not forgotten that their pop princess went into the R&B and hip hop genres too much in 1995. Ol Dirty Bastard? Grammy snub? (Monday 28 April 2025; 23:38) this is a reply to message 108,618

Snubbed again (108,618) by Lee from USA Salt n Pepa and Outkast were inducted, and yet they haven't done much in the last 20 years. MJ wasn't professional when his last album flopped. Aretha looked down on tons of artists over the years. But Mariah has to be humble, consistent, and professional. Double standards, anyone? (Monday 28 April 2025; 11:34)

Article: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 2025 nominees revealed (108,616) by Bobby A from United States MC will not be inducted again this year. I guess the only way she will ever be nominated is to anmounce her final album or last world tour. Cyndi Lauper beat MC this year. (Monday 28 April 2025; 08:13)

MC16 (108,613) by Bobby A from United States Those songs are locked away in her huge shoe closet. Maybe 2027 now? (Saturday 26 April 2025; 21:48) this is a reply to message 108,611

MC16 (108,611) by Edward from USA Just be patient. She has ten songs ready since 2019. New music will drop very soon. (Saturday 26 April 2025; 02:39)

MC16 (108,607) by Bobby A from United States I know that I am beating a dead horse. Will we ever get MC16 in our hands? Today I just think it we will never get MC16. (Thursday 24 April 2025; 00:50)

Friday feeling (108,596) by Bobby A from United States Thank you, Bill. It is great to see your post. I am glad that you are doing well. I should have known MC's debut album was your favorite. I wonder what MC and Ben would have created if the two did more songs together. I think their debut collaborations are up there with Diane Warren's greatest 90s songs. 1990-1995 MC was not long enough before she released Butterfly. Sent From Up Above is my favorite debut album song. I wonder if there are more Ben Margulies songs out there in a vault. (Monday 21 April 2025; 00:24) this is a reply to message 108,594

Friday feeling (108,594) by Bill from the UK Bless you Bobby, I still check in from time to time. Truth is I'm just not a fan of modern day Mariah. Don't get me wrong, I will always love her more than any of you all ever will lol, but I prefer Mariah lamenting about loving someone till the end of time or being alone in love, rather than telling me to GTFO and bragging about riding a D with Ariana Grande. Anyway, to answer your question, my favourite album is of course the untouchable debut. There is something so magical about those Carey-Margulies compositions, and her voice never sounded as good. That deep, rich tone full of volume and timbre. Oh how I miss it. As for my favourite song, aside from All I Want for Christmas Is You and Vision of Love which I consider separate entities, it would be the regular album version of Fantasy. It came out during the peak of my fandom and hearing it the first time on the radio, I still wistfully think back to that day now and again. I also enjoy long walks on the beach and quiet nights in. Hope you've been well. (Sunday 20 April 2025; 17:03)

Friday feeling (108,592) by Bobby A from United States I am glad that I am not the only Lamb who gets all emotional when listening to 90s MC. I wish I knew Bill's favorite 90s MC song and album. I miss him on the board. It is like MC gave me my anthem with IBTAY. Lol. Just kidding. (Sunday 20 April 2025; 02:55) this is a reply to message 108,591

Friday feeling (108,591) by Edward from USA I'm sensing some musical tensions between you and Jamie. Let me tell you something about Jamie, all he cares about is Music Box, his mom and his friends. But I can talk to him for you if you want. I know exactly how to play it. (Saturday 19 April 2025; 17:28)

When You Believe (108,588) by Bobby A from United States Their bridge part didn't make me tear up like the way MC and Whitney sung it. I bet Babyface was shaking his head in the studio when MC and Whitney soared on the bridge. (Friday 18 April 2025; 10:33) this is a reply to message 108,585

When You Believe (108,585) by Randy from USA I saw this performance of [When You Believe] a few years ago and I had forgotten how much Mariah and Whitney's personalities matter to a song. Sure you can hear Whitney breathing and Mariah's rasp but I would take the two of them singing imperfectly over the two perfect [Broadway] girls version any day. (Thursday 17 April 2025; 23:27)

My All and WBT (108,584) by Bobby A from United States I guess that is what separates MC from other female singers. Muni Long's performance of WBT was missing something. Now I know what it is. (Thursday 17 April 2025; 03:56) this is a reply to message 108,582

My All and WBT (108,582) by MusicfanJ from Germany Just everything. It's typical Mariah. From tne intro to the chorus to the end which is insane with the belting and harmonies. The switch between the parts, so difficult and special. (Wednesday 16 April 2025; 19:03)

My All and WBT (108,580) by Bobby A from United States What makes My All and We Belong Together such difficult songs for someone to cover? (Wednesday 16 April 2025; 09:09)

Somebody's Ugly Daughter (108,572) by Bobby A from United States If MC released SUD, I feel she will make us all really happy. I can imagine her vocals are really good. MC must think so too if she keeps talking about releasing it. (Sunday 13 April 2025; 23:23)

MiMi20 CD (108,566) by Bobby A from United States You're right, Edward. The vinyl set is not worth the list price of $249.99 on Amazon. C'mon MC. (Sunday 13 April 2025; 02:25) this is a reply to message 108,564

MiMi20 CD (108,564) by Edward from USA To be honest, it's not really worth it. There's nothing new in this release. I was hoping she'd at least include some leftover tracks from that era. I just don't see the point in celebrating 20 years of such an iconic album without offering anything new. I'm not trying to be a negative Nancy, it's just my humble opinion. (Saturday 12 April 2025; 22:37)

MiMi20 CD (108,560) by Bobby A from United States Vinyl sales are much higher than CD sales in 2025. (Saturday 12 April 2025; 17:23) this is a reply to message 108,559

MiMi20 CD (108,559) by Taylor from USA Once again it looks like there is no CD available, like Rainbow previously. This is quite disappointing. (Saturday 12 April 2025; 13:46)

Article: Mariah Carey teases remix dropping on Friday April 11 (108,556) by Bobby A from United States I swear, this new remix has new vocals. Am I right? (Friday 11 April 2025; 23:08)

TEOM 20 (108,555) by Bobby A from United States Wasn't there a rap feature on Your Girl originally? (Friday 11 April 2025; 22:59) this is a reply to message 108,549

TEOM 20 (108,549) by BFF from United States It looks like we are getting the full 20th anniversary release on Saturday, April 12 for the actual 20th anniversary of the original release date. I checked Apple Music, and it looks like the re-release is a two-disc set. Disc two, the one with all of the bonus material, has 21 tracks on it. We will be getting lots of goodies on 4/12/25. Please let "When I Feel It" be on the set. I love that song. (Friday 11 April 2025; 10:59)

MIMI 20 incomplete (108,554) by Bobby A from United States MC did up this time. 21 bonus tracks and a 5 LP vinyl boxset. Wow. (Friday 11 April 2025; 22:43) this is a reply to message 108,552

MIMI 20 incomplete (108,552) by Tevin from USA Let me start off on a positive note, I'm glad Mariah is doing something to celebrate the anniversary of this amazing album. As much as I loved Mariah growing up, this album truly made me a huge fan of hers. Now with that being said, I'm going to need Mariah to reach into that vault and find a hidden demo or track from that album. Lol. I'm excited to hear the a capella version of Circles, but other than that, everything else is just remixes. Many of them have been released or leaked years ago. I was really hoping for something new. But who knows, maybe she'll have more surprises coming. Anyone know the code for Pepsi Headquarters vault? We need those ringtones released. (Friday 11 April 2025; 16:39)

TEOM announcement (108,546) by Bobby A from United States Lol. The system crashed at midnight. So many enquiring Lambs wanted to know. (Friday 11 April 2025; 06:02) this is a reply to message 108,528

My one TEOM track is (108,532) by Bobby A from United States One And Only is the one TEOM track that I could listen to on repeat for hours. It is the one song of MC that reminds me of her genius creativity of blending R&B and hip hop together. I know I am posting too much and I said I wouldn't post as much this year. Lol. I am so excited for MC's announcement. (Wednesday 9 April 2025; 02:14)

TEOM announcement (108,531) by Bobby A from United States Thank you, Eric and Shezz. You know that I am technology challenged. Shezz, I think there is really a good chance we may get the audio version of The Adventures of Mimi concert on CD and vinyl to celebrate the anniversary of TEOM. It would be great to hear a remastered Dolby Atmos version in 2025. (Tuesday 8 April 2025; 11:01) this is a reply to message 108,528
