About Robert-Anthony from United States: I have been a Lamb since 1990. I know Mariah. I love her music. I breathe her music.

Recent Facebook post (106,023) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC is sounding so good singing a piano version of ILT. I am really loving the texture of her voice now. The low note singing "life" gave me chills. (Saturday 23 March 2024; 16:18)

Quick question (106,021) by Robert-Anthony from United States I choose choice b. I think Mariah and Celine together would be a bigger moment because the two of them ruled the 90s with those huge ballads. Madonna and Mariah together would be an awkward moment since their music has been totally different. It's funny that I actually thought this week about a Madonna and Mariah duet, but quickly erased it from my mind because it would sound so bad.

Quick question (106,020) by Norman from USA This is just for fun, okay? I was wondering what you guys thought would be the bigger pop culture moment: a) Mariah and Madonna having live on-camera moment together. (doesn't have to be a duet. It could be something like Whitney and Mimi did as presenters, or a PSA, or cameo in the other person's video.) Or b) Mariah and Celine doing something similar. I only mean it as a Zeitgeist moment to move the needle. It's not about liking or disliking anyone or whatever they do. Simply in terms of a moment. Thoughts? (Friday 22 March 2024; 23:31)

An AMA's Legends special (106,017) by Robert-Anthony from United States I would like the AMA's to do a primetime special like the Grammys Salutes called the AMA's Legends. You know who should be their first legend to be celebrated. MC should be the first legend this year. It should be executive produced by Lee Daniels, L.A. Reid, and Debbie Allen. They should tell MC's story through archive interviews, presenters, dancers and guest performers during the 60 minutes special. Joseph Kahn should be the director. (Thursday 21 March 2024; 23:12)

The Adventures of Mimi (106,015) by Robert-Anthony from United States Do you think we will ever get the The Adventures of Mimi DVD release on CD and vinyl? That is one DVD release that I need in my collection along with the live performance WBT/FLAB on 2005 Grammys. (Wednesday 20 March 2024; 10:46)

Rockin Rio (106,011) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC is headed back to Brazil on September 22. She looks good and excited in her X video. I just have one question about the video. Is she wearing hair extensions? Her hair looks longer in this video. (Tuesday 19 March 2024; 11:54)

Spotify numbers (106,007) by Robert-Anthony from United States I am sitting here trying to figure out what significant event in MC's career during last five years caused a huge increase to 90.5 million in Spotify sales. Besides AIWFCIY, the only event that I can think of is MC30. Do you think that event is the reason? (Monday 18 March 2024; 23:02)

Emojis (106,004) by Robert-Anthony from United States I ain't even mad, no not like before. Haha. It is nothing but smooth sailing from here on. I will just wait until the 1st single announcement. She has to be in the studio working on something. (Sunday 17 March 2024; 19:57) this is a reply to message 106,002

Emojis (106,002) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think we all know it's more than likely just click bait, as I said in my previous post that they've been saying a lot of things that aren't true especially in relation to YAR. I was just having fun trying to see what they're claiming is coming next. It's not that deep y'all. It's just time pass until Mariah actually announces something. (Sunday 17 March 2024; 17:40)

We need some news (105,997) by Robert-Anthony from United States Where is everyone this weekend? It's too quiet this weekend. Lol. (Saturday 16 March 2024; 20:11)

Photoshoot (105,996) by Robert-Anthony from United States I just looked at MC's recreation of her debut album cover. Her debut album cover is one of the most iconic debut album covers ever. Am I correct that Nick encouraged her to do it for the Memoirs Elle mini booklet? I remember MC saying that in 2009. (Saturday 16 March 2024; 16:12) this is a reply to message 105,962

Photoshoot (105,962) by T from USA I agree. (Tuesday 12 March 2024; 18:12)

Emojis (105,994) by Robert-Anthony from United States Lol. Twin, where have you been? (Saturday 16 March 2024; 00:12) this is a reply to message 105,992

Emojis (105,992) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You really are my brain twin because when I was writing “when was the last time so many people were in a mainstream song together”, my brain was thinking about the Just Stand Up song. Although not a mainstream song but it was for a good cause. (Friday 15 March 2024; 19:50)

Obsessed remixes (105,991) by Robert-Anthony from United States I have always thought the Obsessed remixes that made up the Memoirs 2CD set was a brilliant marketing move. The Obsessed club version was #1 on the Billboard Dance and the Dance/Mix Show Airplay charts. It was even included on multiple dance compilation CDs in 2009 and 2010. I feel that the huge success of Obsessed kind of started the talk about the Angel's Advocate remix album. Also, the Obsessed remix CD was MC's last physical release remix CD. Every remix release was digital after that release. I hope that she will include something like that on MC16. (Friday 15 March 2024; 15:38)

Emojis (105,990) by Robert-Anthony from United States I think that I have figured it out. It's another Stand Up For Cancer song. The campaign steps into high gear in late March/April. (Friday 15 March 2024; 13:19) this is a reply to message 105,988

Emojis (105,988) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm wondering if this is even a song hahah when was the last time so many people had a main stream song together or does it mean they're all releasing separate singles next week. (Friday 15 March 2024; 12:48)

Emojis (105,984) by Robert-Anthony from United States I am going to trust my reliable friend Google who narrows down my searches so perfectly. Dancing girl = Lady Gaga High heels = Ariana (Friday 15 March 2024; 03:54) this is a reply to message 105,982

Emojis (105,982) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So there's a new post about something happening next week. Anyone can help me decipher emojis? It has: Butterfly = Mariah Cat with hear eyes = Katie Perry Dancing girl = ?? Cuban flag = Camilla Cabello? Diamond = Rihanna? High heel = ?? (Thursday 14 March 2024; 23:04)

Music right now (105,981) by Robert-Anthony from United States Beyonce is about make a lot of country music fans even more mad with her Cowboy Carter album dropping in two weeks. I sure hope she knows what she has gotten herself into stepping into country music with a full blown album. (Thursday 14 March 2024; 22:05) this is a reply to message 105,977

Music right now (105,977) by jaker20 from US There's little true talent out there too now. The last one for me was Adele, who is no longer a major player. I'm sad that her career might be cut short, because she didn't take care of her voice. But now we're in a Barbie moment. You just have to look the part and make a few bland music, and the public will eat it. (Thursday 14 March 2024; 18:11)

Missing projects list (105,980) by Robert-Anthony from United States Add to your list an album MC said the Lambs have been wanting her to do. It can only be a jazz or gospel album. Also, add that Diane Warren collaboration that Diane Warren eluded to was better than CTTA. (Thursday 14 March 2024; 21:58) this is a reply to message 105,978

Missing projects list (105,978) by Bill from the UK Y'all that have been around know I love a list. So, let's gather up all her undelivered projects. Let me know if I've missed anything. 1. Angels Advocate 2. Someone's Ugly Daughter 3. The Butterfly Lounge 4. The Clark Sisters album/collaboration 5. The Rarities 2 Please Mariah, release something. We're withering away over here. (Thursday 14 March 2024; 19:23)

Music right now (105,971) by Robert-Anthony from United States I am just finding right now that music now is just boring and lacks creativity. I sure hope that this summer gives us memorable music for the rest of the year. I just wonder if there's a reason why Dua Lipa has not announced her album title or release date. Does she anticipate huge sales and streaming numbers if she holds out until later this year? (Wednesday 13 March 2024; 19:03)

There goes my heart again (105,968) by Robert-Anthony from United States Lol. I am with you Mimi. I am not believing any of it this time. MC has been quiet this time I guess for a good reason. I do believe she is gearing up for some type of release for The Celebration of Mimi shows. Why would she call up Markus Klinko just for new photos for some Vegas billboards? (Wednesday 13 March 2024; 11:38) this is a reply to message 105,966

There goes my heart again (105,966) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok so, we all know these insider accounts have messed with our heads. A bunch of stuff they mentioned turned out to be false like a YAR MV, a YAR live performance the day after release, a strong promo plan for YAR to go to #1. Then of course there are rumors about Cardi and all but we'll see where it goes. But in the last few days I see there has been a few new posts indicating Mariah. First was a Butterfly emoji with the words "this March". The account uses Butterfly to indicate Mariah. Then it says MC and Janet Jackson are in the talks of a collaboration and the latest one with a hashtag rumor is a butterfly and snake emoji. Snake is usually now Taylor's avatar for reputation. There's also a post about her having special guests at the Vegas shows. So I am prepared to be hurt again. Join me. (Wednesday 13 March 2024; 02:53)

Caution and Eternal Sunshine (105,965) by Robert-Anthony from United States So true Jaker. I have been saying this since Caution failed to yield a pop hit. I thought it could be Devonte Hynes, but he doesn't produce commercial pop and R&B hits. She needs songwriters and producers like Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony (The Shindellas) and Madicin (Kenny Lattimore) to get her to Atlanta after the Vegas shows and create some great music for 6-8 weeks. (Wednesday 13 March 2024; 00:38) this is a reply to message 105,963

Caution and Eternal Sunshine (105,963) by jaker20 from US "So which brings me to why does it take Mariah so long nowadays to release an album?" Mariah has no frequent collaborator anymore. That's her missing recipe. No artist can do it alone. Her focus on Christmas took her out of the loop. She needs a team and needs to be collaborating with new musicians, because frankly her career outlived her partnerships with JD, The-Dream or Afanasief, etc. Mariah needs someone to bring those creative juices out of her like she does when she freestyle during her concerts. (Tuesday 12 March 2024; 23:50)

Caution and Eternal Sunshine (105,964) by Robert-Anthony from United States Thank you, T. I enjoy reading your posts too. (Wednesday 13 March 2024; 00:24) this is a reply to message 105,961

Caution and Eternal Sunshine (105,961) by T from USA I love your posts Robert. Always enjoy reading. (Tuesday 12 March 2024; 18:11)

Caution and Eternal Sunshine (105,955) by Robert-Anthony from United States It's like Ariana said to Max Martin, here is my story, will you help me tell it. He helped her create a cohesive brilliant album. I am going to listen to an album 2-3 times in player before I give my review. Eternal Sunshine is the type of album to listen to with your boo driving through the city on a Saturday evening. I just didn't get it the first time especially with Yes And? being the first single. (Monday 11 March 2024; 22:08) this is a reply to message 105,951

Caution and Eternal Sunshine (105,951) by T from USA I believe it's a control issue. Mariah wants to be 100% involved in every aspect. Especially how her voice is engineered. With Caution and Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel she gave up a big portion of that to others and the results were a more cohesive album that to this day have the best review scores. Sometimes I think because of what happened with her debut album, the lack of control and her pushing the fact that she's a writer/producer so hard it hinders her in time it takes to release something. I'm not going to doubt her abilities as she has proven time and again that she is the secret sauce to all of her music, but, it is clear Ariana gave Max Martin the entire runway to do his job. And, yes did it wonderfully. (Monday 11 March 2024; 21:21)

Caution and Eternal Sunshine (105,948) by Robert-Anthony from United States I believe MC is hurt that she doesn't have her range like she used to, record her songs like the way she is used to recording them. You know she is a perfectionist and loves to add different vocal techniques and runs to her songs. I bet it just hurts her that she can't do Lead The Way runs anymore. (Monday 11 March 2024; 15:09) this is a reply to message 105,947

Caution and Eternal Sunshine (105,947) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I remember Mariah expressed her dissatisfaction with being pushed to release "Caution" with a quick turnaround. Ariana said in her interviews that Eternal Sunshine took her 3 months to complete. She also kind of did it while shooting for a major movie. Eternal Sunshine is getting great reviews and is said to be cohesive and impactful. So which brings me to why does it take Mariah so long nowadays to release an album? She is no stranger to churning out great albums, and she finished Rainbow in a few months. But what is stopping her from fully investing herself in an album now? If she can come up with WBT, ILT, SIO all within a span of 2 days, what's hindering her now? (Monday 11 March 2024; 14:28)

If Made For Me was MC's (105,943) by Robert-Anthony from United States Made For Me should have been for MC. Muni Long said in this interview that Made For Me was a demo that she had been sitting on for years before JD and BMC added their touch. Wow, just think if she gave it to MC back in 2018 to replace With You. MC wouldn't had such a dry Caution era. The AI version is definitely what MC would have sounded like. (Sunday 10 March 2024; 20:28)

Photoshoot (105,938) by Robert-Anthony from United States What do you really know, T? Give us the honey tea. (Sunday 10 March 2024; 16:49) this is a reply to message 105,936

Photoshoot (105,936) by T from USA I think you're on to something. She redid WBT. Maybe the Butterfly Lounge turned into a a redo of TEOM with duets. Maybe a re-release on the anniversary with a bonus disc of remakes from Mimi? Although, do CD's even sell anymore? I think Mariah should focus on SUD, if it's actually a thing. A new album would not do well in this climate for Mariah. Ariana's Grande album will not debut with big numbers, and she's the biggest streaming artist out there. The reason Mariah focuses on the Christmas album every year is because it actually makes money and there is interest in it. (Sunday 10 March 2024; 14:06)

Ariana SNL performance (105,934) by Robert-Anthony from United States After her beautiful and brilliant performances on SNL, I listented to Eternal Sunshine again. I have to say now that I totally get her new album. Why didn't she just say that it was a break-up album for those individuals who have lost? It is now Spotify's biggest most streamed album in a single day with 54.8 millions streams with 8 of the album's tracks in the Spotify Top 10. Also, I wonder what happened between Ariana and Dalton. The album is definitely about him. (Sunday 10 March 2024; 11:04)

Photoshoot (105,928) by Robert-Anthony from United States I have a feeling we are about get something that will be sold in her store only. What if those young producers MC talked about reimagined the some of the songs on TEOM. We should know by March 25th. (Saturday 9 March 2024; 23:02) this is a reply to message 105,923

Photoshoot (105,923) by Terna from Nigeria Oh wow. That's major if it's true. Mariah may have something up her sleeve after all. Maybe a re-release with a brand new extra disc (I'm being greedy lol) of new songs that never made the final cut - you know she did write and record that album the whole year through 2004. I remember Mariah was missing in action all year, then materialized with that silvery metallic blue dress at an event at the end of the year. Also her song with Jadakiss was about the only thing she featured in and had her sounding well rested and in form again. (Saturday 9 March 2024; 14:02)
