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

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.

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)

One long month (110,793) by Bobby A from United States I know how you feel Jamie. A month go I was disappointed with the album rollout after Type Dangerous fell off the Hot 100. When Sugar Sweet was released and there was absolutely no promotion, I felt HFIA was going to be lost among the other album dropping in September. However, all of that has changed now since the tracklist dropped yesterday. I feel this is the one Mariah Carey album in a while that will have people talking because non Lambs will have 1-2 favorite songs that will make them purchase Here For It All. I just feel this album will be MC's most cherished and embraced album since TEOM. And yes that's my Bianca alter ego on X giving MC this same love. I said it there first.

One long month (110,781) by Jamie from UK I'm not complaining, just stating a fact and how if feel. (Thursday 28 August 2025; 18:55)

Article: Mariah Carey unveils "Here for It All" track list (110,789) by Bobby A from United States Well, I was almost on to the correct reason as to why there is no Shenseaa and Khelani on the tracklisting. MC released the tracklist yesterday for an alternate tracklist for those Lambs who purchase physical copies on a new pre-save Linktree link to receive a solo version of Sugar Sweet. This is why it was never officially sent to radio and no video was made. I like how there will be opportunities to purchase different variations of the album.

Article: Mariah Carey unveils "Here for It All" track list (110,764) by Bobby A from United States I believe it is a marketing strategy to make people purchase the album thinking MC is singing Sugar Sweet solo. Also, Gamma could just be doing the same uncredited guest vocals marketing strategy like Dire Straits did when the band released Money For Nothing without giving Sting a feature credit. Foreigner did the same thing with Jennifer Holiday not receiving a feature credit on the explosive finale to I Want To Know What Love Is. Both Shenseea and Kehlani will absolutely receive the writing credits on the album. (Thursday 28 August 2025; 10:53)

Article: Mariah Carey unveils "Here for It All" track list (110,787) by Bobby A from United States This is interesting what Gamma and MC are doing for the Asia market. I hope several hot remixes are planned for Play This Song, Mi, and Confetti and Champagne. I just feel one of those songs will go viral in October and everyone will be singing it this fall.

Article: Mariah Carey unveils "Here for It All" track list (110,770) by Max from Germany The tracklist for Asia, including the bonus tracks, is also known. Track 11 is Type Dangerous Snake Remix, and now things get exciting: Track 12 is Sugar Sweet featuring Sheesea and Kehlani. Does that mean that track 4 on the album is Sugar Sweet MC only? I really hope so. (Thursday 28 August 2025; 15:43)

One long month (110,783) by Bobby A from United States Sabrina's one single is her special Spotify deal to be the featured song on their official Songs of Summer 2025 list. Releasing a second single would have ruined streaming numbers for Manchild. It should have been a deal for MC and Type Dangerous. Anyway, Type Dangerous was the song of summer on the Urban AC chart. Right? (Thursday 28 August 2025; 19:46) this is a reply to message 110,777

One long month (110,777) by Shezz from Pk Definitely started the era one month too early. I think a lot has to do with all the international randomly scattered tour dates that are not even for the album. She probably signed on to them much before she knew her album would be ready this year. It is what it is. Some other artists have even longer spans. Sabrina Carpenter's 2 month time is perfect. She didn't even have to put out another single. (Thursday 28 August 2025; 17:31)

Article: Mariah Carey unveils "Here for It All" track list (110,774) by Bobby A from United States I noticed that as well. MC loves to keep us on our toes. (Thursday 28 August 2025; 16:42) this is a reply to message 110,769

Article: Mariah Carey unveils "Here for It All" track list (110,769) by Shezz from Pk I "really really" hope the album version is just her. It would be like having another new unheard song to listen to on the album. Problem is, when she was releasing the track titles in her story one by one, it clearly said Sugar Sweet featuring Shensea and Kehlani. I suppose we need to wait a month to know but I wouldn't put it past team MC to have messed up and missed them out. I'm hoping they messed up in the stories and not the tracklist post. Billboard is just reporting what they saw posted I think. (Thursday 28 August 2025; 13:49)

"Mirage" (110,768) by Bobby A from United States No worries. I looked in my Mariah book. Lol. (Thursday 28 August 2025; 12:53) this is a reply to message 110,767

"Mirage" (110,767) by Lambi from USA You're right. She literally just performed there a year ago for the shows 50th anniversary. Okay I lied she has no beef with Dick Clark, maybe I'm really the only one holding grudges LMAO. Thanks for fact checking me lamb. Okay then scratch that we might have an AMA moment this year too then. But from the schedule, she may be in Asia touring on October, no? Maybe it'll be a pre-recorded taping. Anyway, exciting. Happy to hear she kept great rapport with them. (Thursday 28 August 2025; 11:29)

"Mirage" (110,765) by Bobby A from United States MC performed With You on The American Music Awards in 2018. (Thursday 28 August 2025; 10:58) this is a reply to message 110,763

"Mirage" (110,763) by Lambi from USA "Maybe she knows the songs aren't all that." That seems accurate to me as well. She's mentioned that Sugar Sweet was everyone's favorite. This was supposed to be the peak. I hope I'm proven wrong though, and there is actually a song close to a WBT moment. It doesn't have to be as successful commercially, but it can be on par melodically. Sugar Sweet is the stronger of the two, but I feel like Mariah insisted Type Dangerous be the fire starter just because she loves the sample so much. I think she also has a say on which single is going out, hence "releasing music on her own terms". Maybe she did save the best for last, and this 3rd single actually will be the one to swing home the trophy. In the last few weeks before release, she could unleash something that becomes a major moment, fully maximizing the promo. I have a feeling it's the .Paak duet, which she's said she thinks is "really" good. Anyway, I haven't felt this excited about an era in a while. Successful or not, Mariah is back in the spotlight on major award shows. Here's the top 5 ranked by prestige and ratings: 1. Grammys - She kind of got honored here not too long ago. "Is this a Grammy?" after leaving Stevie hanging LMAO. That's why I think she's now confident to go for the main stage next year. I hate that she got honored in a non-televised backstage moment. 2. VMAs - She will be a shining star on this year's show. 3. Billboard Music Awards - Already honored above and beyond. 4. AMAs - I don't know if she'll ever be back. It's Dick Clark Productions, and we ain't really forget NYE. I know she went back the next year, but that was solely for rebuttal. 5. iHeart Radio - She's been honored here. Done and done. Let's try to revel in all these moments with Mi. (Thursday 28 August 2025; 10:43)

Article: Mariah Carey unveils "Here for It All" track list (110,756) by Edward from USA And that doesn't seem to be a mistake since the Billboard article clearly mentions only two collabos. I think Mariah released the remix first. Interesting. (Thursday 28 August 2025; 02:59)

Article: Mariah Carey unveils "Here for It All" track list (110,754) by Bobby A from United States Why doesn't Sugar Sweet say featuring Kehlani and Shenseea? (Thursday 28 August 2025; 01:32) this is a reply to message 110,752

Article: Mariah Carey unveils "Here for It All" track list (110,752) by Edward from USA Guys, remember that "Reprimand MCA Remix" is a hidden track. That's why is not part of the official tracklist. (Thursday 28 August 2025; 01:15)

Unexpected allies (110,741) by Bobby A from United States Go Team Swifties. Why is everyone now choosing the September 26th? Lol. I think MC is going to do well the first week. I posted on X that she will sell 300K-320K physical sales because of what Gamma has planned two weeks before 09.26. (Wednesday 27 August 2025; 19:12) this is a reply to message 110,740

Unexpected allies (110,740) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So Kanye West is releasing his album on the same day as Mariah and I’m hearing rumblings about Swifties planning to stream Mariah to block Kanye since Kanye and Taylor have beef. I don’t know if it will gather steam but Swifties have done it before. (Wednesday 27 August 2025; 15:02)

Excited (110,739) by Bobby A from United States I have a good feeling "Mi" or "Play This Song" will be the 3rd single. Gamma is probably going to drop it a week before the album is released or on 09.26. (Wednesday 27 August 2025; 13:56) this is a reply to message 110,730

Excited (110,730) by Giovanni from USA I don't know what y'all guys but I'm excited for "Here for it all". Mariah just posted on X and I guess "MI" might actually be a song from the album. Sounds very r&b and captivating, I do hope she reveals the tracklist. (Wednesday 27 August 2025; 02:51)

I am in the minority on Caution (110,731) by Bobby A from United States Randy, what is your favorite song from Music Box? Something tells me it is a deep cut from Music Box. You always have fondness for MC's deep cuts. (Wednesday 27 August 2025; 03:44) this is a reply to message 110,719

I am in the minority on Caution (110,719) by Randy from USA My favorite song is GTFO and I think the first four songs make the album. Its second half is lazy. Stacey I love you like a freeze-pop but Giving Me Life sounds like a Me, Myself and I knockoff. It also kinda irks me as gay slang that she got from Kristofer Buckle. I'm gay yall don't have a cow. At least, I was gay last time I checked. The Distance has real cheerleaders on a slow song? When I think of cheerleaders on a song Toni Basil's Mickey, Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl or MCs Up Out My Face maybe. All uptempos and it seems out of place on The Distance. One More Gen is boring, I barely remember it. Eighth Grade's hook is stuck in my head but it's not great MC material. Finally, Portrait to me is the second worse introspective MC song, barely better than I Wish You Well (which I've been telling you all for years is a rant, not a song). If MIAMTEC is my "I Don't Know Her" album, Caution is my "I Don't Know Her, But I've Met Her" album. I hope I know HFIA. (Tuesday 26 August 2025; 19:04)

Rumor tracklist with a grain of salt (110,729) by Bobby A from United States What is Reprimand is MC setting all of her naysayers straight like she did to Eminem in Clown and Obsessed? (Wednesday 27 August 2025; 01:04) this is a reply to message 110,726

Rumor tracklist with a grain of salt (110,718) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Do we all get writing credit for track 12? (Tuesday 26 August 2025; 18:43)

Rumor tracklist with a grain of salt (110,722) by Bobby A from United States J. Valentine said that Here For It All was "fire" and "jammin". Based upon these song titles, he seems to be correct. Some of the titles are MC's most unexpected song titles like Confetti and Champayne, I Won't Allow It, In Your Feelings, and Reprimand. MC is making a statement and we are not ready. Anyway, I bet My Love is on the same level as Without You. I listened to Paul McCartney's version and I bet MC did her thing vocally. I am so excited for Here For It All.

Rumor tracklist with a grain of salt (110,720) by Bobby A from United States This is legit. It is what I have seen on the web and plus bits and pieces of song titles/lyrics MC has talked about or put on billboards. I like the song titles. I think we have a L.T.D. (Jeffrey Osborne)/Phyllis Hyman type of album meets Mariah Carey in 2025. According to Nostradamus A.K.A. Roger Freidman: 1. Mi has a new jack hip hop infusion bounce. 2. Play This Song has soulful melodies, soft rhythms and very Prince like with a new jack hip hop infusion. 3. Nothing Is Impossible is a ballad with soul influences and contemporary R&B with piano melody with accentuated synthesizers. Through The Rain 2025.

Here For It All (110,703) by Bobby A from United States I agree with you Shezz, especially after Nostradamus' two posts yesterday. His descriptions of the two songs led me to match them up to two song titles that have been posted on online along with Jesus I Do and Here For It All. I won't say them here because I want you to be surprised when the tracklist is released. Nostradamus posted the description of the two songs like he was sent the album because he is a journalist. I am starting to think Nostradamus on X is really Roger Friedman from Showbiz 411. (Monday 25 August 2025; 19:32) this is a reply to message 110,699

Here For It All (110,699) by Shezz from Pk Bobby A, in a way I'm glad those two are the radio/TikTok friendly songs which means the rest of the album is less "trendy" and trying to capture the younger audience and is more mature. Over the last few albums, her deep/album cuts have always been superior to the singles. I loved "Giving me life", "8th grade", "Caution" and "One mo gen" from Caution. I'm looking forward to the 70s inspired Anderson .Paak song, Paul McCartney cover, Clark Sisters song and HFIA. I'm sure there'll be a lot of good songs. At this point I hope lambs stop stressing about chart success for her singles. Even if she were to release "Heartbreaker" today, she'd barely chart. I'm just happy she's finally putting something out that she enjoyed making and is proud of (despite what her demeanor says). Nostradamous says one song is very reminiscent of "Through the rain" - though I really doubt they've listened to any songs yet themselves. I hope the VMAs performance is well produced and executed. Apparently right after, she'll head to Brazil early to shoot a video and a press tour. May God give her the energy to pull off all the promotion well everywhere. She'll have lots to do in the US when she's back. Personally, I don't think she's disinterested in the project at all, it's just her physical and psychological state that she can't control.

What's wrong with MC (110,695) by Bobby A from United States Stevie Nicks released Street Angel during a lowpoint in her life and career. Street Angel sold 500,000 copies and was certified gold. Maybe Here For It All will be MC's Street Angel. (Sunday 24 August 2025; 21:22) this is a reply to message 110,690

What's wrong with MC (110,690) by Edward from USA Did you see the video Britney posted on social media? She was dancing wildly with two huge knives, and the police ended up at her door. While I don't think she should lose all control over her life and finances, it's clear that some kind of support system should be in place to protect her from herself. Sadly, Mariah seems to be in a similar situation, she doesn't appear to have many people around her who truly care for her, even if the "hen" stops laying golden eggs. (Sunday 24 August 2025; 17:47)

Here For It All (110,692) by Bobby A from United States Journalist Stevie Musicfeelings posted on X that he has listened to HIFA. He said the the album is "quite different from Caution, a bit more soulful and even gospel-like towards the end. Stevie said, "Above all, the two singles are pretty well chosen in my opinion. They're the most radio friendly." The last part of his comment has caused some Lambs to have some concern for any HIFA future singles' performance on the charts. He said that he will give more individual song feedback once MC releases the tracklist. Do you think he's saying that the two chosen were singles for a reason or that the two are the only two radio friendly songs on the album? (Sunday 24 August 2025; 20:18)

What's wrong with MC (110,686) by Bobby A from United States I am sure MC has a lot on her mind right now with the U.S. promotion coming up, TD and SS chart and radio perfomance, album rollout, and how HFIA will perform when it is released. MC has a lot to grapple with, but she basically keeps it all inside. We will never know what she is going through because she just pushes through.

What's wrong with MC (110,682) by LambyMP from Usa I can't help but think something is wrong with M. It's written on her face. She's acting so different. Still loving the new era. But somehow I feel like we are loving it more than she is. Am I wrong? (Sunday 24 August 2025; 09:00)

Video Vanguard (110,658) by Bobby A from United States This year the VMAs are on CBS making for a grand event to reach a wider audience. Anything can happen nowadays on network TV. The first 5 years of the VMAs was crazy because you never knew what was going to happen live on TV. Whatever happened was on everyone's lips the next day. Remember the very first VMAs in 1984 when Madonna performed Like A Virgin and rolled around on the floor in a wedding dress. That was iconic because no one is suppose to sing a song called Like A Virgin and roll around on the floor in wedding dress on live TV.

Video Vanguard (110,654) by Lambi from USA Yup. Mariah literally sashayed into the Gamma board meeting, tossed her hair, and said this verbatim: "Can we have an MTV Video Music Award moment and a Grammy moment? Oh, and a Brazilian lambily moment? Maybe another TikTok viral moment? Please thank you darlings." (Saturday 23 August 2025; 02:43)

Video Vanguard (110,657) by Bobby A from United States I predict Gamma has a plan to give HFIA's promotional two week period after the VMAs a high profile media blitz. They are going to do something to focus on two major songs on the album. I was worried after Sugar Sweet didn't receive any promotion, but something tells me that two huge singles are on the way.

Video Vanguard (110,652) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think it's probably a deal they had with Gamma. Gamma wants Mariah everywhere and looks like they're investing in her a lot. So I wouldn't be surprised if they brokered a deal which a lot of artists do. She deserves credit for her videos though so I'm glad if Gamma made it happen. (Saturday 23 August 2025; 02:08)

Mariah's best videos (110,656) by Bobby A from United States Mimi, I think Triumphant (Get 'Em) is one of MC's best videos too. Also, it showed Nick's artistic genius as a director by giving it a movie like quality. (Saturday 23 August 2025; 06:00) this is a reply to message 110,640

Mariah's best videos (110,640) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The disrespect of not having Heartbreaker in the list. My favorite Mariah videos (not in order) - All her "Butterfly" era videos - starting with Honey and Breakdown. The Roof is a classic and I liked the concept and visuals of the title track video. And of course My All, so so beautiful. - Heartbreaker and the remix videos. - The I Still Believe Pure Imagination remix video. - Every video from the TEOM era, no exceptions. Every video is pure perfection. - TMB, I Stay in Love - Triumphant (I want no slander) (Friday 22 August 2025; 20:34)

Try it on me (110,655) by Bobby A from United States MC was basically saying look at what I did by giving a short humorous phrase. If two ladies met up for lunch and both ladies had on a similar outfit, but one lady wore her dress with a slight variation. The lady might say, "Try this on me girl." MC was also poking fun at the media for instigating drama between her and Whitney. (Saturday 23 August 2025; 05:53) this is a reply to message 110,642

Try it on me (110,642) by Bill from the UK When MC and Whitney did that "same dress" skit at that awards ceremony and Mariah said "try it on me" as she ripped her dress off to reveal a shorter one underneath, what does that phrase mean? I've never heard anyone ever say it before or since in any similar context, and Mariah seems to think it's one of the wittiest things she's ever said. I know I'm being dense, so can someone explain? (Friday 22 August 2025; 22:28)
