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

Last fully live television performance (112,934) by Bobby A from United States I forgot MC's performance with Jimmy Fallon. I wish it could have made it onto his 2024 Christmas album. (Monday 5 January 2026; 19:27) this is a reply to message 112,917

Last fully live television performance (112,917) by Lighty from China Between H.A.T.E.U on Letterman and Play This Song on Fallon, Mariah had at least another live TV moment which was AIWFCIY with Fallon, (Monday 5 January 2026; 02:13)

In Your Feelings and "stuff" (112,914) by Bobby A from United States It is really difficult to tell what MC is saying during that particular verse especially with the word "stuff" at the end. I guess radio programmers don't want any FCC complaints from listeners complaining that MC is saying the other four letter word. (Monday 5 January 2026; 00:31) this is a reply to message 112,899

In Your Feelings and "stuff" (112,899) by Haiji from United States Hello everyone. Happy holidays. So I've been hearing IYF on the radio on multiple occasions since a little before Christmas, but my question is about the radio version, if anyone has heard it yet. Why is the word "stuff" bleeped out, from the line "Now I feel stupid and stuff"? Am I missing something? Does that word have an alternate explicit meaning nowadays? (Sunday 4 January 2026; 06:04)

Last fully live television performance (112,909) by Bobby A from United States Was this performance of H.A.T.E.U. on the David Letterman Show MC's last fully live television performance? I think it is. Maybe somebody can prove me wrong. (Sunday 4 January 2026; 18:31)

Was Celine the original JLo? (112,889) by Bobby A from United States I am having a blast reading these posts. With my vacation coming to an end in two days, I need some laughter in my life. Cheers cheers to see what happens in 2026. I see a remix album coming this summer. Just kidding. Lol. (Saturday 3 January 2026; 03:02) this is a reply to message 112,887

Was Celine the original JLo? (112,887) by Edward from USA But you have to admit that the stuff some people pull out of their behinds, as ridiculous as it might sound, can be entertaining in times like these. I'm having a blast. I'm waiting for the reveal that the New Year's fiasco was just Tommy hitting mute from a control room. (Saturday 3 January 2026; 01:29)

Was Celine the original JLo? (112,872) by Bobby A from United States This conversation is very interesting. It is like watching two lawyers battle in the courtroom. (Friday 2 January 2026; 10:56) this is a reply to message 112,868

Was Celine the original JLo? (112,868) by Lambi from USA Yeah, it's your default to only correct the most insignificant technicalities. It's fair to bring up and I appreciate being corrected too, but at the very least acknowledge the broader points, otherwise you're inevitably going to come across as obnoxious. TJ did a great job by raising something he felt was slightly inaccurate while also adding depth and genuinely enriching the topic. (Friday 2 January 2026; 10:26)

Happy New Year everyone (112,851) by Bobby A from United States Happy New Year everyone. I wish everyone a blessed and properous new year. Thank you Eric for keeping the board going for 28 years. (Thursday 1 January 2026; 13:57) this is a reply to message 112,848

Happy New Year everyone (112,848) by Dove from United States I'm wishing you all a peaceful and happy 2026. (Thursday 1 January 2026; 08:22)

I dreamt the strangest dream (112,817) by Bobby A from United States Haha. I have been tracking my likes this year and they are down like 55% compared to 2024. What would you all do without my predictions and wishful thinking. I did think this week what if Gregory Porter, Robert Glasper and PJ Morton collaborated with MC in 2026 for something different for MC17?

I dreamt the strangest dream (112,813) by Lighty from China Sounds like a not-so-strange Bobby A dream to me. Just kidding. (Tuesday 30 December 2025; 14:42)

Olympics - Nothing is Impossible (112,805) by Bobby A from United States 100% did end up the AT&T Team USA soundtrack for the 2010 Winter Olympics as track number 8. The album was only released on iTunes. (Tuesday 30 December 2025; 12:38) this is a reply to message 112,799

Olympics - Nothing is Impossible (112,799) by Edward from USA 100% was written for the movie "Precious", not The Olympics. (Tuesday 30 December 2025; 05:02)

IYF vs NII (112,776) by Bobby A from United States Lambi, you may be right. The main theme for the ceremony is "Harmony" (Armonia). MC might be writing a brand new song with DJ Snake. She probably wants her performance to appeal more on a global stage through a new song with DJ Snake. The melody and instrumentation of Let Me Love You comes to my mind. (Friday 26 December 2025; 13:42) this is a reply to message 112,775

IYF vs NII (112,775) by Lambi from USA She may use parts of NII that are appropriate specifically, "The spirit lives in my soul, so I'll never let go, I knew deep down inside that I can fly" but the rest of the song feels too personal. It would likely be a medley of Hero, Make It Happen, and NII. Or she may simply write a brand-new song specifically for this Olympics, like she did for the 2010 Winter Olympics with 100%, since writing inspirational, motivational songs comes naturally to MC. I really love 100%, though, and I hope she considers including that one. (Friday 26 December 2025; 09:46)

Roc and Roe (112,770) by Bobby A from United States Roc is looking more like Nick as he gets older and Roe is looking like 19th year old MC in an X Christmas day post today. Roc and Roe have really grown up. (Thursday 25 December 2025; 20:45)

NII (112,765) by Bobby A from United States I have thought about meeting with our high school choir director to see if he can add NII to the spring concert set list. Haha. (Wednesday 24 December 2025; 22:37) this is a reply to message 112,758

NII (112,758) by Bill from the UK Aren't you a teacher Bobby A? You could start something huge haha. (Wednesday 24 December 2025; 12:38)

NII (112,757) by Bobby A from United States Nothing Is Impossible just needs one middle or high school choir director to have students perform it during a February school program for NII to go viral on social media. All other aspiring singers will follow suit with their own TikTok videos. Anyway, I trust that MC is going to give a grand performance at the opening Winter Olympics ceremonies. (Wednesday 24 December 2025; 05:43) this is a reply to message 112,750

NII (112,750) by Randy from USA I'd rather see this promoted, T. For those who didn't listen to me the first three hundred times I told this story, I had a visceral, emotional response to the song and the way she chose to sing it low. It's wonderful for the Olympics and I hope the public tik tok's it, it goes viral and becomes a number one. I have a Right To Dream. (Tuesday 23 December 2025; 17:08)

So which is it? (112,744) by Bobby A from United States Alexis dahling this particular lamb has been shadowing Blake during some strategic Denver Carrington board meetings. Lol. We all are just elated how MC keeps breaking all these records in her late 50s. What other legacy female artist is doing that? He has always been our chart information lamb.

So which is it? (112,741) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States For 10 months out of the year, the lambs constantly say that the charts don't matter as Mariah has nothing left to choose. So, why is it during November and December, all the lamb posts are chart updates? (Tuesday 23 December 2025; 03:14)

The queen stays the queen (112,738) by Bobby A from United States This is great news for MC. Nothing is impossible at all. I feel more chart success is about to happen with Nothing Is Impossible. Gamma is about to pour some money into this single release. (Tuesday 23 December 2025; 01:52) this is a reply to message 112,737

The queen stays the queen (112,737) by Edward from USA Billboard Hot 100 (December 27, 2025) #1 AIWFCIY - (21 weeks total at #1) #2 Jingle Bell Rock #3 Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree #4 Last Christmas #5 Santa Tell Me AIWFCIY is now the longest-charting Hot 100 hit by a woman in a lead role (78 weeks). Mariah also becomes the artist with the most cumulative weeks at #1 in Hot 100 history, 100 weeks total, with the closest competitor still 40 weeks behind. Decades later and still making history. The queen stays the queen? (Tuesday 23 December 2025; 00:40)

NII for the Olympics 2026 (112,731) by Bobby A from United States Furthermore, Nothing Is Impossible could really become a top 10 Hot 100 hit if Disclosure and Gorgon City remixed it and released on vinyl. (Sunday 21 December 2025; 23:05) this is a reply to message 112,728

NII for the Olympics 2026 (112,728) by Bobby A from United States At the opening ceremony, MC should do a huge vocal performance with Ricky Dillard's or Hezekiah Walker's choir singing an extended Nothing Is Impossible chorus moment with a Hero mash-up. (Sunday 21 December 2025; 00:04)

NII for the Olympics 2026 (112,724) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Come on Mariah and Gamma, take advantage of that and release Nothing Is Impossible. That song is perfect for that. Relase a high budget music video. Perform that song everywhere on tv like 2005 with We Belong Together. Bring back the glory of a 90's ballad like Vision of Love, My All with that song. Bye. (Saturday 20 December 2025; 12:24)

Nothing Is Impossible (112,726) by Bobby A from United States According to some recent X posts, it looks like Nothing is Impossible is going to be the next single. I guess it kind of makes sense since MC needs a song to perform at the February 6th Winter Olympics opening ceremony. Also, it was reported on X that DJ Snake and MC are about to collaborate again. (Saturday 20 December 2025; 16:59)

The demo tape (112,707) by Bobby A from United States It is a shame that Ben Marguilies' and MC's professional relationship ended after the demo tape. It would have been nice to see what they could have created for Emotions. (Tuesday 16 December 2025; 08:51) this is a reply to message 112,702

The demo tape (112,702) by Bill from the UK Yes and no. So, Mariah had her original demo tape (the one Tommy got his hands on at the party), that she put together pre-fame. For the longest time, the songs contained on it were Alone In Love, All In Your Mind, Someday, Vanishing and Do You Ever Wonder. That was according to "Her Story". This tape however seems to have another song (unreleased). That may well be Hypnotized, or another song entirely. When Mariah was signed to CBS (as it was back then), the process of putting an album together involves the artist producing several songs in demo format. These are presented to the executives who then "green light" the selection to go into recording/production, or go back to be revised and changed, or the direction changed etc. It may be that the demo Mariah referenced was the beta version of what would end up being her debut album. I guess we won't really ever know for certain. It just drives me mad that there are things like this out there that will likely forever remain a mystery. (Monday 15 December 2025; 21:05)

Here For It All Christmas show (112,684) by Bobby A from United States When MC is focused about giving a great performance, she shines. Last night's petformance was 10 stars. I loved the vocals and overall performances from everyone. (Sunday 14 December 2025; 18:01)

In Your Feelings (112,670) by Bobby A from United States The melody and lyrics are so Mariah Carey. I would love for Kelly Clarkson to perform it on her TV show. (Saturday 13 December 2025; 13:39) this is a reply to message 112,664

In Your Feelings (112,664) by Giovanni from USA I love it so much but I can't listen to it anymore cause her voice sounds bad. Music Box and Daydream Mariah would cringe if they heard that. Overall I still enjoy HFIA just wish it had at least one hit. In my opinion if MOAIA Mariah was singing "In your feelings" it would be more enjoyable and a potential hit. The lyrics and production is there it's just the fans are not. I think there's a lot of remaining fans who don't care if she has any more hits but for me I'd like her to at least tie The Beatles' record. It's time for Mariah to write with Bruno and give us the collaboration some of us have wanted for years. (Saturday 13 December 2025; 08:00)

Article: Mariah Carey's grunge album release date revealed (112,663) by Bobby A from United States If Sony markets it right with a network TV special, interviews, one single release, magazine features, clothing, and jewelry, then SUD could be a huge success. The second half is from July to December. Therefore, I bet Sony is planning a Black Friday release in 2026. The Lamb frenzy would be crazy at local record shops around the country. (Saturday 13 December 2025; 05:05) this is a reply to message 112,657

Article: Mariah Carey's grunge album release date revealed (112,657) by Bill from the UK Interesting development. If this is true, I'm looking forward to hearing this and seeing it released with Mariah's 1995 vocals. What a treat that would be. A delayed anniversary present for Daydream.

Serious question (112,650) by Bobby A from United States Haha. I was wondering if somebody got it. (Thursday 11 December 2025; 06:42) this is a reply to message 112,648

Serious question (112,648) by Dove from United States Ha ha. It took me a minute to get the Keith Sweat reference. Then he sang it in my head. (Thursday 11 December 2025; 00:49)

Serious question (112,639) by Bobby A from United States Keith Sweat said nobody. Lol. I think he is right. Celine has never come close in her career because she is not a songwriter. Kelly Clarkson could have been if she didn't start her talk show. (Wednesday 10 December 2025; 11:28) this is a reply to message 112,638

Serious question (112,638) by Lambi from USA Who is actually Mariah's closest formidable competition in terms of being a complete singer-songwriter? Is there anyone who genuinely matches her combination of vocal prowess and songwriting talent? Who? (Wednesday 10 December 2025; 11:21)

2026 Plans for Here For It All? (112,620) by Bobby A from United States Edward, you brought up some valid points. I need to stop clicking on every link about MC in newsfeed. I read the article and then I start believe the author's opinion about MC. (Sunday 7 December 2025; 14:07) this is a reply to message 112,612

2026 Plans for Here For It All? (112,612) by Edward from USA Bobby A, sadly there's probably not going to be an "HFIA" Deluxe Edition. Outside of her hardcore fans, nobody seem to care about the album. Mariah and Gamma aren't about to keep throwing money at something that isn't giving anything back. At the end of the day, Gamma is a business. It was a joint version, and both parties did what they could. You wouldn't keep pouring water into a bottomless barrel expecting it to get full, would you? And the whole "Mariah's Christmas popularity is fading" thing? Not really. The economy is just trash right now. Everything is expensive, people are losing jobs, and most folks are just trying to survive the holidays, not spend on unnecessary things like flights and concert tickets. Competition is tough in Vegas when Mariah doesn't bring anything new to her shows. Even with all that, Mariah's still doing her thing. Bublé's Christmas is 14 years old, Merry Christmas is 31 years old, and the fact that her album is back up at #14 (and looking to jump into the top 10 next week) is wild. That's not someone "declining", that's someone with ridiculous staying power. I don't think she should've moved her Christmas show to Vegas. It kinda took away that warm, cozy, classic Mariah holiday vibe. It worked better when it was more intimate and easier for fans to get to. She reigned supreme at Beacon Theater for a decade and she also did great at MSG. Both venues were a train away for most people. (Saturday 6 December 2025; 14:59)
