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

Portrait remixes (106,519) by Bobby A from United States After listening to Portrait through my car speakers this morning, I feel differently about her vocal delivery. Painful was a wrong word choice to describe to her vocal quality now. I love it. MC really gave us a lot of different eras in sixteen minutes. She is still a musical genius.

Portrait remixes (106,516) by Shezz from Pk I don't think they were painful at all. Pleasant but not amazing like the 90s house remixes of course. I don't think it's because of her voice, more to do with the song. Thankfully I don't hear the screeching and scratching that other people seem to. A nice addition to her remixes era. When did she release her last original song? Was it "Save the day"? (Friday 24 May 2024; 15:36)

Portrait remixes (106,508) by Bobby A from United States Her vocal state has been confirmed that it is irreversible and probably won't improve anymore. MC seems to be okay with it. I am okay with it too, but it is very painful to listen to the Portrait remixes. Where does she go from here? I say just finish recording MC16 with some technology magic and release it to the world to enjoy one more Mariah Carey album. (Friday 24 May 2024; 09:19)

Portrait (106,500) by Bobby A from United States The snippet I heard on X is really good. I am okay with the scratchy vocals. At least MC is embracing her current vocals and still releasing new music. Now if we can just get MC16 this year. (Thursday 23 May 2024; 20:32) this is a reply to message 106,495

Portrait (106,495) by jaker20 from US I believe that is part of the Amazon Audible Portrait of A Portrait that's being released today. (Thursday 23 May 2024; 17:25)

The remix (106,498) by Bobby A from United States It is still #1 on R&B iTunes chart, Shezz. Billboard just released today an article by MC's unprecedented chart success. MC is on the rise again this year. (Thursday 23 May 2024; 20:16) this is a reply to message 106,491

The remix (106,491) by Shezz from Pk I don't think the song is bad at all Robert Anthony. I think the problem people are having is that it is nothing really new or fresh - it is the same mid tempo/slow RnB that she and JD have done to death. If rumours are to be believed, MC16 will have a different sound - more pop and dance focused which will be good for her to get back into mainstream audiences. The 'Yes, And' remix, had it been the original song it would have surely topped the charts with Ariana's first single pull and with the lambs also being onboard. Adding Mariahisms to older songs on their way out is what people are more against, I feel. I appreciate the fact that Ariana wanted Mariah's voice front and center even though it didn't work out as well as it should have. Shows the love and respect she has for 'mother' as she put it. Lets see if the new rumour about their next collaboration is true. It's supposed to be an original, not a remix. It may be for Ariana's deluxe edition that she is working on or maybe MC16 (one can dream). Funny that you mentioned "Lose Control". I had it on as I was reading your post. That'd be a great direction for her. (Thursday 23 May 2024; 13:28)

The remix (106,488) by Bobby A from United States I don't know why there are so many thumbs down for the remix. Now I hear that her whistle register has lost its shine too. Maybe I really want this remix to be the one to put MC back on the Hot 100 and I am not hearing what the rest of you all are hearing. MFM is currently sitting at number #1 on the R&B iTunes chart. I have an great idea. Lets have MC jump on a remix of Teddy Swims' Lose Control. Both of their voices would blend so perfectly together on this rising R&B hit.

The remix (106,484) by Edward from USA I'm not trying to be negative, but the "Made for Me" remix feels pointless. If this is the best studio magic can do, it's disappointing. Now I understand why there hasn't been any new music for such a long time. In a new album, she would need to bring her voice to the forefront in all the tracks, and that’s what’s missing. What happened to her beautiful whistle tones? They were pristine on MIAM. I'm really sad about this. (Thursday 23 May 2024; 00:07)

Unnecessary (106,486) by Bobby A from United States MC sounds really good listening on MFM with headphones on. I can tell that her voice is 75% better than last year. (Thursday 23 May 2024; 01:37) this is a reply to message 106,483

Unnecessary (106,483) by Randy from USA I don't want to always be negative. What is the purpose of jumping on songs past their prime? The remix didn't do much for me in terms of making the song better and she sounds scratchy and far away. Maybe this is to appease her fans to say she's still releasing new music but this is not going to impact the charts at all. And it's not new music. The queen of the remix is not the feature on afterthought remixes? (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 21:13)

Made for Me remix (106,477) by Bobby A from United States I think the reason why it seems like MC is fading behind Muni in the chorus is JD was going for that gospel style on the last chorus where MC is portraying the lead vocalist adding ad libs behind the last chorus to add more meaning to the song's closure. (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 14:52) this is a reply to message 106,475

Made for Me remix (106,475) by Carlos from Brazil I think with "Yes And" they made the song super loud and with Made for Me I felt the opposite. Mariah is fading behind Muni in the chorus. Like an echo. I also felt the whistles were off, dry and weak. (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 13:14)

First listen (106,474) by Bobby A from United States Mimi, someone commented on YouTube that MC's verse sounds like I Don't. (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 13:09) this is a reply to message 106,463

First listen (106,463) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't know how to feel haha. I think the chorus is too busy and her verse seems very reminiscent of an old song of hers I can't quite place it. I don't really see this song doing much for Mariah. May help Muni get some international lambs. I don't know what is Mariah's team's strategy. Instead of doing these side remixes that's not doing much for her, she should focus on her own projects. (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 03:34)

JD, Skillrex and Solange Knowles (106,466) by Bobby A from United States I feel Solange can elevate MC's creativity to higher levels. I believe MC16 is coming now for sure after she is finally adapting her current voice in new ways to use her lower register more. (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 07:43) this is a reply to message 106,459

JD, Skillrex and Solange Knowles (106,459) by Terna from Nigeria Solange is an avid Lamb actually, and I do [hope] it's true Mariah is working with her, she has an unique way of writing. One of her profound songs to me from "A seat at the table" was "Mad" featuring Lil' Wayne & Tweet (Charlene Keys). I love that song. (Tuesday 21 May 2024; 23:54)

Tune in to The Voice tonight (106,464) by Bobby A from United States The remix was well worth the wait. I love how MC uses her voice from harmonizing with Muni Long on the first chorus to the rap style singing with her new lyrics on the second verse to her gorgeous ad-libs on the final chorus. And she doesn't over do it with her whistle notes. Finally a remix collaboration that will played on the radio all summer. Let's get it to number one on the Hot 100. Was history made or what last night? Yes. (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 05:45) this is a reply to message 106,462

Tune in to The Voice tonight (106,462) by Bobby A from United States Lol. History is about to be made tonight. I just feel it in bones. (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 00:42)

Tune in to The Voice tonight (106,461) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Looks like she did post later haha. She retweeted the same image JD put in with the "thinking emoji" pretending that she doesn't know what the lambs are talking about. Then mentioned it's coming. Wondering if she'll perform it. Also Muni wrote "yall aren't ready for RapRiah" so are we getting new verse? (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 00:35)

Tune in to The Voice tonight (106,460) by Bobby A from United States MC just tweeted an hour ago that it is coming. Before that she tweeted ?? because of some outrage posts from some Lambs because it didn't drop last night. (Wednesday 22 May 2024; 00:33) this is a reply to message 106,458

Tune in to The Voice tonight (106,458) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm just surprised there's not a word from team Mariah about it? Lol like they gave up on it before it even released. With Ariana's atleast there was some "teasing". Also JD is a great producer but dude has a hard time promoting stuff (flashback to MIAM era disaster). What mess is he upto on his insta with the nonsense posts? Like he posted this screen grab about how Mariah fans are disappointed the song didn't release as promised on time and they're venting on twitter and he posted it with a "thinking" emoji. Like dude what? Hahah. (Tuesday 21 May 2024; 20:46)

Tune in to The Voice tonight (106,455) by Bobby A from United States Muni Long is going to perform Made For Me during the star-studded finale Part 2 tonight. Mariah may perform with Muni Long tonight. If she does perform, it would explain why the Tuesday release date and why we are still only hearing snippets today. I heard another snippet on JD's X page with MC's whistle notes and a smooth ooh ooh in the intro before Muni Long comes in with the first verse. MC comes in with the second verse singing new lyrics reminisce of the fast singing she did in WBT second verse. This maybe the remix and live performance we have been waiting for from MC. (Tuesday 21 May 2024; 12:58)

Mariah reminder (106,453) by Bobby A from United States Randy, you made it clear to me why MC wrote Close My Eyes and Outside. She has really been through a lot. Childhood has trauma has a long lasting affect on a person. I am glad she is still here. (Tuesday 21 May 2024; 12:22) this is a reply to message 106,450

Mariah reminder (106,450) by Randy from USA As someone who has been hard on MC about not addressing her voice, I was in my feelings this past weekend and went in listening to her music and rewatched her interview with Oprah in 2020. I forgot all the things she's been through. Being dirty and unkept. The girls calling her the N-word and mulatto bitch. Alison throwing the tea in her face. Alison trying to have her pimped out. Alison offering her coke. Tommy holding a knife to her throat. Her mother having her arrested. Her mother telling her you'll never be as good a singer as me. Yes, I'd like to know what happened to the voice. Yes, I'd like her to stop lipping and start doing things in her current register. But I am glad this woman is still alive and here with us. People have not made it through life going through less. I can't say I'll always succeed but I will try to give MC a little more grace in the future than I have in the past. Lord knows, I will need it when it's my turn to be criticized by people who act as if they're saints. That's all. (Tuesday 21 May 2024; 02:21)

JD, Skillrex and Solange Knowles (106,451) by Bobby A from United States So I was curious what the insider account had say about MC working with JD again. When I saw my search come on my screen, I saw two names in addition to JD that made me smile. I saw that the insider account said that MC is working with Skillrex and Solange Knowles. I always thought The Distance was MC's favorite song and Skillrex was her favorite producer on Caution. Solange Knowles could give MC that Alternative R&B sound that I have been wanting her to do for a long time. Solange's Crane's In the Sky won her a Grammy in 2017. She also wrote Beyonce's Get Me Bodied. Check out her solo stuff and R&B song credits and see if her sound is a perfect fresh sound for MC. (Tuesday 21 May 2024; 02:46)

History is about to be made (106,449) by Bobby A from United States Shezz, JD's creativity is hot right now. It would be interesting to see what they create in 2024. I feel the pressure is really on the both of them to create something new and fresh. We will see what happens this fall. (Tuesday 21 May 2024; 01:14) this is a reply to message 106,447

History is about to be made (106,447) by Shezz from Pk Excited to hear the remix though I am not expecting it to do much on the charts. It will boost the original's chart position and the remix will not be credited as has happened before. Of course I would love to be proven wrong but I don't think this is MC's return to Billboard just yet. Also, the fact that MC hasn't posted anything about it herself yet, I think shows that she is not expecting much and is doing this as a favour to support Muni Long and for JD. MC is busy putting the final touches on MC16. Robert Anthony you better believe it. She apparently got JD recently onboard to help her finish the album (Insider). I hope she has a proper plan and delays her Christmas crossover to December this year or releases it right after the holiday season and uses that momentum. It will be interesting to see which way she chooses to go. (Monday 20 May 2024; 14:55)

History is about to be made (106,446) by Bobby A from United States Muni Long posted another TikTok video yesterday of her being silly and thankful for what is about to happen. MC's Made For Me vocals were playing in the background. She must know that she truly has something special dropping tomorrow with her remix with MC.

History is about to be made (106,436) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Let's hope so. I usually listen to 181.FM True R&B radio station, and it's one of the most played songs. I'd like to listen to the remix version as often as the original one. (Saturday 18 May 2024; 16:56)

Article: Mariah spent Mother's Day weekend in Westchester (106,444) by Bobby A from United States Many artists write songs about their mothers when they are still alive. (Monday 20 May 2024; 12:58) this is a reply to message 106,443

Article: Mariah spent Mother's Day weekend in Westchester (106,443) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I think it's because her mother is not dead yet. (Monday 20 May 2024; 11:34)

Glitter (106,442) by Bobby A from United States What is real reason why Glitter hasn't been made available on vinyl by MC? Were her masters a part of her huge payout? The original vinyl release is going for insane prices on Ebay. I have the promo copy, but it has a black cover. (Monday 20 May 2024; 10:27)

Article: Mariah spent Mother's Day weekend in Westchester (106,441) by Bobby A from United States Okay, I have been spending too much time, go through my Mariah book this month. You got me on that one. (Sunday 19 May 2024; 17:15) this is a reply to message 106,440

Article: Mariah spent Mother's Day weekend in Westchester (106,440) by Edward from USA Patricia not staying married to Alfred is Tommy's fault. I thought you knew, it's all part of the Truwoman Show. Everybody knows that. (Sunday 19 May 2024; 13:49)

Article: Mariah spent Mother's Day weekend in Westchester (106,439) by Bobby A from United States I wonder, does MC blame her mother for not staying married to her father? She has never written a song about her mother. Alfred Roy had one song written about him and an honorable mention in another song. (Sunday 19 May 2024; 04:25) this is a reply to message 106,437

Article: Mariah spent Mother's Day weekend in Westchester (106,437) by Matty from Vancouver Canada I can understand why they recorded the Christmas duet at the time they did. Mariah was pregnant and as a soon to be mom probably wanted to try and repair her own relationship with her mother. I’ve had friends do the exact same thing with expecting, only to have more fall outs and incidents down the road. (Saturday 18 May 2024; 22:48)

History is about to be made (106,438) by Bobby A from United States Yes. I am ready to record it on the syndicated U.S. radio show - Dede in the Morning - Dallas-Fort Worth Texas-104.5 FM (5am-10am). The original is already in heavy rotation during her morning show. Dede and her crew are really funny with their date fails and R&B hip hop news segments. Check her out.

History is about to be made (106,433) by Bobby A from United States I just feel that on Tuesday radio and social media are going to go crazy over the Made For Me remix. I really feel this remix is going to be bigger than all of the other guest remixes she has done in the past 3 years. Are we ready for history to be made? And summer is coming too. Ooh we-ee. (Saturday 18 May 2024; 10:38)

BET Awards (106,425) by Bobby A from United States You're right, Brandon. It seemed like it was last year. On another truth, I guess we are not getting a new album this year either. It will be June in two weeks and still no new album news. What if Caution was MC's last album of new music? (Friday 17 May 2024; 10:02) this is a reply to message 106,424

BET Awards (106,424) by Brandon from USA That was actually 2 years ago in 2022. (Friday 17 May 2024; 08:05)

BET Awards (106,420) by Brandon from USA Muni Long is confirmed to perform at the BET Awards. Hopefully she brings out MC to sing the MFM remix with her. This could be amazing. I want them to pull out all the stops. (Thursday 16 May 2024; 18:36)
