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

Ariana drops tomorrow (105,895) by Robert-Anthony from United States Ariana's Eternal Sunshine drops tomorrow. Where is the hype for her new album? It has faded away just like the YAN remix. It may be her lowest first week sales to date. The buying public this year doesn't seem to giving artists huge first week sales. Usher and JLo's albums both faded into oblivion. Guess who will change the dismal album sales in April? (Friday 8 March 2024; 00:52)

Mariah never lied or let anyone on (105,892) by Robert-Anthony from United States Come clean, T. Who are you? Lambs would like to know. (Thursday 7 March 2024; 22:54) this is a reply to message 105,884

Mariah never lied or let anyone on (105,884) by T from USA Mariah will headline two festivals this summer, she'll do Vegas in the spring and then a massive Christmas tour starting in November. That's the extent of it this year guys. That's all I can say. (Thursday 7 March 2024; 01:04)

Mariah never lied or let anyone on (105,885) by Robert-Anthony from United States What? She has to be planning an album this year. Why would she say that she has 10 songs enough for an album last year? Or is MC really keeping the Lambs hanging on by string Loose Ends style? Where is Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis to put some pressure on MC? (Thursday 7 March 2024; 02:41) this is a reply to message 105,884

Mariah never lied or let anyone on (105,883) by Robert-Anthony from United States Agreed. Maybe I used the wrong word. I am having MC withdrawals out here in Texas. Lol. I just want a hot single or two right now. (Wednesday 6 March 2024; 21:45) this is a reply to message 105,882

Mariah never lied or let anyone on (105,882) by Libra Lamb from USA I also don't think MC has lost her drive. I'm sure she's working on projects and keeping it private until she's ready to release them. After other acts stealing her ideas, music samples and all, I can't say that I blame her. (Wednesday 6 March 2024; 18:53)

Release (105,878) by Robert-Anthony from United States Taylor's fans are mostly young teens and college students who are very gullible. I just don't get the mania for her. She wouldn't have this mania frenzy if she had stayed in country music. Country music fans and radio pushed her out of the country music genre for her boring non-traditional country love songs. She didn't have a choice but to become a pop star. And we are paying dearly for her being so popular now. (Wednesday 6 March 2024; 16:48) this is a reply to message 105,877

Release (105,877) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter 100% a cash grab and draining her fans. I don't understand why people aren't sick of it yet but I saw a lot of comments under the multiple versions that fans are getting annoyed. She also does it to secure a solid sales volume. Which I'm like if your album is that great it should do it in 1 version. (Wednesday 6 March 2024; 13:32)

The greatest interpolation (105,873) by Robert-Anthony from United States The greatest interpolation in our lifetime will always be Bryson Tiller's Don't when he sang a liitle of Shake It Off during the 2nd verse. If you didn't know Shake It Off, then you would miss it every time. This is what MC needs to do for hit song. She needs a R&B slow jam with a 90s SWV or Total interpolation. (Wednesday 6 March 2024; 05:33)

Mariah never lied or let anyone on (105,869) by Robert-Anthony from United States If she would just give us some studio pics or an interview or a tweet, it would ease our minds about new music coming out this year. Also, she said in 2022 that she would be working with a young male singer. I believed that young male singer was Bryson Tiller. He said that he was trying to find the right song in early 2023. 2007 Mariah in the studio is not the same 2024 Mariah in the studio. It seems like she has lost her drive for one reason or another to get a body of work out to her Lambs. I miss the times when she would post on Twitter that she was headed back to N.Y. from Atlanta sequencing the album. We knew that the album was completed after that tweet.

Mariah never lied or let anyone on (105,867) by T from USA These things take time and when she said she's worked with younger producers or newer artists she has. Khalid, Latto and Ariana Grande are all newer artists she has delivered throughout the years. Guys, albums aren't in. They don't sell and have a shelf life of one week. It's not happening. The Butterfly Lounge, these new collections of songs, it's all her creating but it doesn't mean it's being packaged as an album in the traditional sense. Max Martin was the biggest surprise as it is the farthest sound Mariah is known for these days. But it was a fresh sound. Let's wait for the Christmas shows, I hear they are going international this year. I just don't want people spending their whole year waiting for a new album when it's clear that she isn't there. Vegas is being branded as a TEOM theme. Setting her up for a big Mimi anniversary next Spring. I do have a feeling she is holding SUD back to see if she's getting into the RRHOF. (Tuesday 5 March 2024; 16:53)

Release (105,864) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC is keeping the Lambs hanging on all of these sayings and with shows here and there. She said the following: 1A. I am working with a lot of young producers. 2021 1B. I am working on multiple projects. 2021 2. I hope to release the Butterfly Lounge. 2022 3. I am working on something the Lambily have been asking me for. 2022 4. I have about 10 songs completed with my writing partner. I said to him that I guess we are working on an album. 2023 5. I still have some more songs to record. 2023 (Tuesday 5 March 2024; 10:35) this is a reply to message 105,863

Release (105,863) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I do think Mariah will release something before Christmas, whether it's a single or an album I don't know but I feel like YAR can't be the only thing. Also I'm curious to know why this Vegas residency is TEOM themed? What's the significance? It's not a milestone year and if she was going to do a residency eitherways why market it for an album released 19 years ago? Anyways as frustrated as Mariah's business moves make me, I gotta say I'm grateful she doesn't rob the fans like some artists are doing aka Taylor Swift releasing multiple versions of the same album with only 1 exclusive track in each to basically make fans buy 4 "limited edition" versions of the same album. This is on top of the tour, tour merch, tour movie at cinemas, the tour movie rental and now the tour movie streaming. That on top of releasing re-recordings of old albums and there's 2 more to go. (Tuesday 5 March 2024; 04:50)

Cardi B (105,861) by Robert-Anthony from United States These songs that artists are releasing in 2024 lack creativity. Dua Lipa and Katy Perry may save 2024. MC probably needs another year to improve her vocal range. Maybe 2025 is best. (Tuesday 5 March 2024; 01:03) this is a reply to message 105,858

Cardi B (105,858) by jaker20 from US I love Cardi but I'm relieved that Mariah isn't on it, because it's just not catchy. Yes, the video is also rachet [sic]. It doesn't seem like it's not even going to debut in the top 40, which is surprising for a major current rap artist. (Monday 4 March 2024; 03:40)

No new album in 2024 (105,857) by Robert-Anthony from United States Are you a former AR representative at Epic? You seem to have a lot of insider information about MC. (Monday 4 March 2024; 02:32) this is a reply to message 105,848

No new album in 2024 (105,848) by T from USA I'm hearing that there indeed will be no new album this year. MC16 is nowhere near completion and she doesn't have a label either. For fans that loved MIAMTEC I'm sure when something finally comes it will be in the vein of that album that took time to release (2011-2014). And less like Caution that was all done in a matter of months. Jay Z and Roc Nation lined up ten different producers and Mariah just banged out Caution in record time. MC16 will be more of a personal work that has sit with her for years before release. The question will be if any of the Butterfly Lounge ideas will make it on. The Yes And remix was recorded to hold fans over until Christmas which will be a big 30th anniversary later this year. Hopefully there will be one more song release this year as well, but it doesn't look like it. (Sunday 3 March 2024; 13:51)

No new album in 2024 (105,856) by Robert-Anthony from United States I said all year that MC doesn't have a label. It is going to be difficult for her to get a major label deal. Her selling point has dimisnished significantly. (Sunday 3 March 2024; 21:39) this is a reply to message 105,855

No new album in 2024 (105,855) by RJJ12 from USA I hope she continues to take her time. She said she was rushed into releasing Caution and she didn't get to craft that album exactly how she wanted to. I hope we get an upbeat r&b/doo wop song from her like Dreamlover and It's a Wrap when she dies come back out. I miss those types of lead singles. I'm glad she is jumping on remixes as this gives her added exposure to a younger audience without any risk. Hopefully artists of the moment will want to duet or ask for a feature. If one so happens to become successful, she can follow it up with her own lead single. (Sunday 3 March 2024; 20:29)

Breakdown (live in Perth - footage) (105,849) by Robert-Anthony from United States Is it her ensemble? (Sunday 3 March 2024; 14:07) this is a reply to message 105,847

Breakdown (live in Perth - footage) (105,847) by Zachariah from Croatia I wish I didn't see this. (Sunday 3 March 2024; 13:45)

Danja (105,845) by Robert-Anthony from United States He produced the opening track on Timberlake's new album. It is called Memphis. I know it has to be a banger to be track #1. Doesn't this distinction ring a bell in your mind? Migrate. I hope Danja collaborates with MC for MC16. We need another Danja collaboration. (Saturday 2 March 2024; 21:37)

Heartbreaker for Glitter (105,844) by Robert-Anthony from United States I just listened to Heartbreaker trying to figure out how it could have been used for Glitter. I don't think Heartbreaker could have worked as well as Loverboy. Maybe it was the script change that was apart of the film's delay that caused MC not to even consider Heartbreaker for Glitter. Maybe MC saving it, gave her the genius idea to use Val Young's If You Should Ever Be Lonely for the Junior Vasquez remixes. That interpolation was just a brillant sample idea.

Daydream is now Mariah's biggest album (105,843) by Robert-Anthony from United States How many purchased the VMP gold vinyl release? (Saturday 2 March 2024; 15:33) this is a reply to message 105,841

Daydream is now Mariah's biggest album (105,841) by Stacey from USA It's been a busy week. I was so excited to hear the news. Daydream is such a beautiful album. I can listen to every song. No fillers. (Saturday 2 March 2024; 03:38)

Angels Advocate (105,839) by Robert-Anthony from United States T, you know your Memoirs background and album development. (Friday 1 March 2024; 22:37) this is a reply to message 105,836

Angels Advocate (105,836) by T from USA I think timelines get a little mixed up around this period. Mariah had a miscarriage in the fall of 2008. Heartbroken she was encouraged to go back into the studio and create an album, which ended up becoming Memoirs. So by the time the album came out in the fall of 2009, she was on the promotional road for the album. But unfortunately she talked more about her small cameo in the movie Precious, then she did about her new album. The album didn't meet expectations and had a huge budget that did not make the dollars back at the time so the other two versions were shelved, she got pregnant in 2010 and moved on to a Christmas release in the fall of '10. I think letting Angels Advocate go is something we need to do, as if it was good it would've already seen the light of day in some capacity. I've personally heard ten of the fourteen songs and I can undoubtedly say I like the original solo versions better. (Friday 1 March 2024; 22:14)

Charmbraclet: 2024 remix edition (105,838) by Robert-Anthony from United States I was thinking about 2002. 2024 just sounded better for my heading. (Friday 1 March 2024; 22:35) this is a reply to message 105,837

Charmbraclet: 2024 remix edition (105,837) by T from USA Not sure how this would work with Whitney being dead for over a decade now. Or do you mean these could've been the mixes that came out at the time in 2002? Because if she was to remix Charmbracelet in 2024, I think the list of artists attached would be vastly different then the ones you have there. (Friday 1 March 2024; 22:17)

Charmbraclet: 2024 remix edition (105,835) by Robert-Anthony from United States What if Charmbraclet was remixed today? Who would you choose as a feature? 1. Through The Rain ft. Whitney Houston and Deborah Cox 2. Boy (I Need You) ft. Fabulous 3. The One ft. Jagged Edge 4. Yours ft. Mint Condition 5. You Got Me ft. Total and Diddy 6. I Only Wanted ft. Frankie J 7. Clown ft. Ciara 8. My Saving Grace ft. The Clark Sisters 9. You Had Your Chance ft. Xscape and JD 10. Lullaby ft. Faith Evans 11. Irresitable ft. Busta Rhymes 12. Subtle Invitation ft. Tamia 13. Bringin On The Heartbreak ft. Def Leppard (Friday 1 March 2024; 22:02)

The good times (105,829) by Robert-Anthony from United States Just remembering the good times. (Friday 1 March 2024; 18:22)

Angels Advocate (105,822) by Robert-Anthony from United States Why didn't L.A. Reid release it? I think it was because he put so much money into that Elle insert that he didn't want another failed MC album release under his leadership. Non-fans were just not feeling Memoirs to justify a remix album. I hope she gives us something in MC16 that will make us happy. (Friday 1 March 2024; 02:33) this is a reply to message 105,821

Angels Advocate (105,821) by jaker20 from US Its been 15 years since that was announced. If that album was actually released, that would have been her streaming monster. I'm 100% sure of it. (Thursday 29 February 2024; 23:44)

Told ya (105,820) by Robert-Anthony from United States Shakira? Really? I would rather JD produced the whole album. (Thursday 29 February 2024; 23:16) this is a reply to message 105,819

Told ya (105,819) by T from USA Everyone claiming a Cardi song and just giving up on YAR are in for a big surprise as there is no Cardi B collaboration coming this year. She's releasing a song with Shakira on March 22nd and a solo song as well. We as fans need to focus on the things that actually happen like a collaboration with the biggest streaming artist currently in Ariana Grande. Getting YAR into the top 10 would've done wonders for the song and set Mariah up with something new to perform in Vegas. Something current and relevant. We were so close to that credit, so close to a top 10 for our MC. The remix was Mariah's new song to hold us over until Christmas, but most were too busy looking for the next new song. As for me, I'm going to continue to stream Yes, And remix and enjoy the fact that she was on a current track in 2024. (Thursday 29 February 2024; 22:17)

The age thing (105,816) by Robert-Anthony from United States Haha. I am sorry. I didn't mean to hijack your post. I will be more mindful next time. (Thursday 29 February 2024; 11:00) this is a reply to message 105,814

The age thing (105,814) by Jamie from UK Thanks for that. I have a flight booking of hers from about 2003 which showed her true age from passport. (Thursday 29 February 2024; 10:38)

Cardi (105,815) by Robert-Anthony from United States Maybe we still get a collaboration. This game of waiting on new music is painful. I heard from a record store owner yesterday that Taylor's new album is going to be a huge seller during the sales week because of Record Day on April 20. It is probably best that MC waits until later this year. (Thursday 29 February 2024; 10:57) this is a reply to message 105,813

Cardi (105,813) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Her new song is a solo song. No Mariah. (Thursday 29 February 2024; 04:16)

The age thing (105,812) by Robert-Anthony from United States Oops. The url is bad because I missed a character or number when I typed it. However, if you type in my Google search - Why is there confusion about Mariah Carey's birth year, then scroll down and you will see the link - Mariah's true age is finally proven. (Wednesday 28 February 2024; 23:10) this is a reply to message 105,810

The age thing (105,810) by Robert-Anthony from United States This is why it was changed. (Wednesday 28 February 2024; 20:16)

Let's be kind. We didn't know what is upon us (105,811) by Robert-Anthony from United States It doesn't have any tracks like Nice and Slow, Yeah Yeah Yeah, Daddy's Home, Birthday and OMG. It sits right there with his album Here I Stand - in the markdown clearance bin. Bobby Ross Avila and Issiah Avila. The Avila Brothers should have had 5 tracks on the album. I can't believe their hit song GLU didn't make the album tracklist. (Wednesday 28 February 2024; 21:00) this is a reply to message 105,807

Let's be kind. We didn't know what is upon us (105,807) by Tevin from USA Usher too. Even with his Superbowl performance, his album (I personally only liked a few songs) didn't do as well as his past work. (Wednesday 28 February 2024; 02:27)
