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

LA Reid (110,920) by Bobby A from United States Right. I hope L.A. joins MC on at least one U.S. promo TV event to talk about how he was involved in the making of the album. (Wednesday 3 September 2025; 19:22) this is a reply to message 110,912

LA Reid (110,912) by T from USA Since LA Reid is executive producing the new album Here For It All, I wonder why he didn't call in his former clients like Usher, Pink [sic] or Andre 3000 to lend some features that could've maybe got people excited. (Wednesday 3 September 2025; 14:30)

Kai Cenat's stream (110,919) by Bobby A from United States Yes. I loved this interview. The way MC pulled the desk chair towards Kai showed that she was really comfortable being in his company. (Wednesday 3 September 2025; 19:18) this is a reply to message 110,909

Kai Cenat's stream (110,909) by Jamie from UK Wow yes, she's really comfortable and confident again. (Wednesday 3 September 2025; 13:08)

Random thought (110,901) by Bobby A from United States Could Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis be seen as number 4? The two producers brought out some gorgeous melodies from MC on Glitter, Charmbracelet, and Rainbow. The dynamic duo would have been producers on TEOM if they didn't have prior commitments. They sent Big Jim Wright as their replacement. (Wednesday 3 September 2025; 03:27) this is a reply to message 110,891

Random thought (110,891) by T from USA It's because all the classics, and hits she's ever made has come down to working with three producers; Walter A, Jermaine Dupri, and Tricky Stewart (to a lesser degree). So you know when her and JD get together you get some good music. (Tuesday 2 September 2025; 13:42)

VMAs wish list (110,898) by Bobby A from United States 1. Heartbreaker remix 2. It's Like That/Makin' It Last All Night mash-up 3. We Belong Together remix 4. Obsessed (Tuesday 2 September 2025; 20:51) this is a reply to message 110,895

VMAs wish list (110,895) by Shezz from Pk With just a few days left for the VMAs Vanguard performance, what songs does everybody think should be on her performance list to best set her up for the HFIA era? I suppose Type Dangerous and Sugar Sweet will definitely be there, what else should she use to fill up the 10 minute slot? (Tuesday 2 September 2025; 17:57)

Year end record? (110,887) by Bobby A from United States Thank you. Yes, I have been riding with MC on her journey since the summer of 1990. (Monday 1 September 2025; 23:42) this is a reply to message 110,880

Year end record? (110,880) by Shezz from Pk Haha thank you Bobby A and you're the very glue that holds us all together - the old and the new, the happy and the sad, with your unwavering brand of optimism and love for MC. I hope she knows how lucky she is to have you as a lamb. (Monday 1 September 2025; 13:03)

Year end record? (110,886) by Bobby A from United States I laugh so hard at a stoplight. (Monday 1 September 2025; 23:41) this is a reply to message 110,877

Year end record? (110,877) by Stacey from USA Thanks for the shout out. Life is too short to take everything so seriously. Laughter is the best medicine. (Monday 1 September 2025; 03:27)

Favorite ballads list while we wait (110,885) by Bobby A from United States Lol. They were not written down in my Mariah book. (Monday 1 September 2025; 23:39) this is a reply to message 110,878

Favorite ballads list while we wait (110,878) by BFF from United States Bobby, you have deeply upset me by not including the masterpiece ballad "Ken Lee" and excluding songs from the masterpiece albums "Prism" and "Gutter". The Divine McCarey rebukes the list. "Ken Lee, Tulibudibu doubt you." (Monday 1 September 2025; 04:26)

Super Bowl (110,869) by Bobby A from United States Lambi, I love it. Brandy would be icing on the cake. The beat for "I Wanna Down" drops and the crowd goes crazy. Brandy appears in MC's Loverboy video racing car with TLC. (Sunday 31 August 2025; 23:13) this is a reply to message 110,846

Super Bowl (110,846) by Lambi from USA I love it. We should bring Brandy, ODB and TLC as starring guests. Full on 90's galore. (Sunday 31 August 2025; 13:20)

The 5 chosen Tommy producers (110,865) by Bobby A from United States I just found a Barry Mann Brown Eyed Woman 45 record today. The song is very souful like Can You Hear Me? Finding his record made me think about the five chosen producers for MC's first two albums. Tommy chose Rhett Lawrence, Narada Michael Walden, Ric Wake, Barry Mann, and Carole King. Why didn't he choose David Foster to collaborate with MC? I wonder what a Mariah Carey and David Foster collaboration would have sounded like in 1990-1992. (Sunday 31 August 2025; 20:20)

Year end record? (110,864) by Bobby A from United States Jamie has great insight about MC's career. Jamie, blame it on my old mind and not my heart. I meant to include you in my first post. (Sunday 31 August 2025; 19:33) this is a reply to message 110,856

Year end record? (110,856) by TJ from Norway Is it just me, or do people write more messages here in 2025, than the years before? It's sometimes difficult to follow the treads of options. (Sunday 31 August 2025; 15:45)

Year end record? (110,863) by Bobby A from United States I have noticed that too. It's like we all knew 2025 would be the start of a new era. Bill, Dove, Lighty from China and Libra Lamb are back. We welcomed this year Giovanni, Lambi, and Baby from Dreamville. T is posting more this year. Randy came out of hibernation. Stacey makes me laugh. Terna and Shezz are great analysts. Mimi is our Tamron Hall with her great insight and commentary. Zachariah is my best friend now. Edward looks for my Saturday post to refute my claims. Lol. I don't want the number #1 slot at the end of the year. I want another board member to be #1. We are all family in the land of Mariah Carey.

Favorite ballads list while we wait (110,860) by Bobby A from United States MC has such a massive catalogue of ballads. I hope we get another compilation of a ballads album soon with her Def Jam and Gamma ballads. (Sunday 31 August 2025; 17:52) this is a reply to message 110,851

Favorite ballads list while we wait (110,851) by Bill from the UK I'll limit this to two per album: Vision of Love Vanishing And You Don't Remember Till the End of Time Anytime You Need a Friend Everything Fades Away O Holy Night Miss You Most (at Christmas Time) Open Arms Looking In My All Whenever You Call After Tonight Petals That'll do for now. Keeping it to the OG Sony run. (Sunday 31 August 2025; 14:58)

Super Bowl (110,859) by Bobby A from United States I believe MC could do it with Debbie Allen (choreography), L.A.Reid (setlist), JD (guest list), DJ Mustard (remixes and samples), Daniel Moore (musical direction), and Brett Ratner (director) partnering with MC to deliver a spectacular half-time show. I guess we will know on a smaller scale at the MTV Video Awards what MC can do vocally and performance wise. The world will be watching and on social media during and after her performance. (Sunday 31 August 2025; 17:48) this is a reply to message 110,855

Super Bowl (110,855) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya no Superbowl for Mariah. Her perfect opportunity would have been during TEOM era when she was feeling herself and on fire. But now she wouldn't have the stage presence to command such a huge stage. She definitely has the set list to perform but I don't think it's a pressure she wants or needs right now. (Sunday 31 August 2025; 15:43)

MC back in the studio (110,842) by Bobby A from United States Lol. Also, JD might have been blowing up her phone and said to Mariah something like this. Can Cox and I get a joint or two on the deluxe? (Sunday 31 August 2025; 12:08) this is a reply to message 110,837

MC back in the studio (110,837) by Edward from USA I think it just dawned on her that an 11-track album after 7 years won't cut it. It's been too long, 14 tracks would be fine. (Sunday 31 August 2025; 03:37)

Super Bowl (110,841) by Bobby A from United States 1996 Superbowl setlist 1. Fantasy intro/Fantasy ODB remix 2. Dreamlover - Theo's Joint Club Mix 3. Always Be My Baby 4. Emotions/Make It Happen C&C Club mash-up 5. There's Got To Be Way - 12 inch remix/Anytime You Need A Friend - Ministry of Sound Mix mash-up 6. Someday - New 12" Jack Swing/I Want Her - Keith Sweat sample - new lyrics and adlibs over the sample A Superbowl set is normally 13-14 minutes, but Tommy and Columbia Records pay the NFL for an additional 15 minutes. (Sunday 31 August 2025; 12:02) this is a reply to message 110,840

Super Bowl (110,840) by Lambi from USA Wait, imagine Mariah actually booked Super Bowl in '96 when she still refused to lip sync. My goodness, she would've slept for 72 hours and completely crush it. Imagine the vocal prowess? This is hypothetical by the way, it wouldn't be realistic since she was still way too new to get this gig, but just for fun. With the hits she had at the time. What should be on her Super Bowl set list? (Sunday 31 August 2025; 09:14)

Favorite ballads list while we wait (110,834) by Bobby A from United States I have 15 ballads on a SD card that I will listen to every day until Here For It All is released. Here is my list is: 1. I Don't Wanna Cry 2. Can't Let Go 3. Never Forget You 4. When I Saw 5. My All 6. Against All Odds 7. Never Too Far 8. Through The Rain 9. We Belong Together 10. Love Story 11. Inseparable 12. Camouflage 13. Portrait 14. There Goes My Heart Again 15. I Wish You Well (Sunday 31 August 2025; 02:04)

Here For It All (110,833) by Bobby A from United States I hope so. I need to know who the producers are My Love and I Won't Allow It. I feel people will be talking about those two songs on 09.26. (Sunday 31 August 2025; 01:51) this is a reply to message 110,830

Here For It All (110,830) by Terna from Nigeria I read somewhere today on twitter where someone was like a record executive he's close with has heard the entire album and described it as a hybrid of "Glitter, Charmbracelet and Caution". (Saturday 30 August 2025; 22:09)

MC back in the studio (110,828) by Bobby A from United States Nostradamus posted today that MC is recording new songs for the HFIA deluxe edition and working on remixing every song with some collaborators who have said yes already and are on board for the remix album. I guess there won't be any Christmas shows because MC will be recording in the studio October-December. (Saturday 30 August 2025; 19:38) this is a reply to message 110,821

MC back in the studio (110,821) by Jamie from UK Yes I saw that, I wonder what she is up to? (Saturday 30 August 2025; 10:58)

One long month (110,825) by Bobby A from United States I noticed that Amazon started giving after album release shipping dates for about two years now to keep shipping arrival complaints to a minimal. The CD's are coming from the U.S. Our postal system is so unpredictable right now since our postal system started a new process of sending mail to regional distribution procesing centers in major cities. It is there packages are sorted and mailed out to its destination. I know this because I spent way too much time holding on the USPS customer service line and this the answer I received about my Ebay package being late. You will probably receive your package on the release date or a day or two after the 26th. (Saturday 30 August 2025; 13:48) this is a reply to message 110,822

One long month (110,822) by Jamie from UK I've noticed my preorder on UK Amazon won't arrive until 6th October. I wonder if all CD's produced are coming from the USA? I've preordered on iTunes too but thought it was a bit odd not getting the physical copy on the day it's released, they normally send them out early to ensure this. (Saturday 30 August 2025; 11:36)

MC back in the studio (110,824) by Bobby A from United States Shezz, this is great news. Surely, some JD remixes and new songs are on the way. MC's surprise studio picture looks like JD's So So Def studio. I really feel now that no more singles will be released until after the album drops. I am saying this because the way MC revealed the tracklist in such a social media strategy way to build anticipation with the song titles and lyric two liners. I believe Gamma wants multiple songs to "album bomb" on the Hot 100 like Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem did in May. It will probably happen with Mi, Play This Song, Confetti and Champagne, I Won't Allow It, My Love, Jesus Do It, Here For It All, and In My Feelings. People are talking about these songs the most in social media comments. I believe it will happen for her HFIA. 2010 is when streaming numbers were allowed in the calculation equation for the Hot 100.

MC back in the studio (110,819) by Shezz from Pk Bobby A. rumor has it she's adding songs for the deluxe version with some remixes possibly including a Sza collaboration based on the love she's been showing MC on social media with heavy hints. I wish a Sza collaboration could've made the original album. Better late than never but I just hope it's not dropped if HFIA doesn't perform as well as she wanted it to initially. (Saturday 30 August 2025; 05:48)

One long month (110,812) by Bobby A from United States Yes, you may want to record it on VHS or make a DVD. This is going to be something to watch again 5 years from now. (Saturday 30 August 2025; 00:23) this is a reply to message 110,808

One long month (110,808) by Lighty from China Well, at least we'll have the VMAs in one week. Maybe she'll premiere something new. (Friday 29 August 2025; 19:42)

Christmas shows (110,811) by Bobby A from United States MC must be planning something different for Christmas this year. Last year in August tickets were already on sale. Nostradamus said on X this week that The Era of Mi world tour is coming early next year. (Saturday 30 August 2025; 00:19)

MC back in the studio (110,810) by Bobby A from United States MC posted an Instagram picture - "Back at it." (Friday 29 August 2025; 23:52)

TEOM vs TEOM (110,796) by Bobby A from United States I just figured this out. The Emancipation of Mimi album title has the same letters as The Era Of Mi. MC doesn't name her albums without some meaning behind it and she has never named her own era. We usually name her eras for her. MC has never had an album title/era with two different titles. What personal statement or meaning is MC trying to emphasize? Could MC be sending a message to Taylor Swift or the Swifties that a new era has started. (Friday 29 August 2025; 04:25)

Article: Mariah Carey unveils "Here for It All" track list (110,795) by Bobby A from United States Okay, you got me again, Edward. I do think Sugar Sweet didn't have an official impact date, but just made it onto some radio stations playlist somehow. You're so right about no video being a smart business decision. (Friday 29 August 2025; 01:23) this is a reply to message 110,794

Article: Mariah Carey unveils "Here for It All" track list (110,794) by Edward from USA I don't think it has anything to do with that. Why would they release "Sugar Sweet" as her second single and not send it to radio? Of course it was sent. The truth is, "Sugar Sweet" just didn't gain much traction. Not releasing a video was actually a smart move from a business standpoint. (Friday 29 August 2025; 01:12)
