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

Two more sleep, two more sleeps (101,751) by Bobby A from United States I am so excited for MC to shine at her concerts this year. Have fun. (Thursday 8 December 2022; 00:38) this is a reply to message 101,750

Two more sleep, two more sleeps (101,750) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Only two more sleeps until me and my crew she [sic] Mariah in Toronto. We're in the third row, and the recent Moet and Chandon performance made me even more excited then I already was. 6x here we come baby. (We flight out from Vancouver tonight. ) (Wednesday 7 December 2022; 23:38)

Moet and Chandon performance (101,745) by Bobby A from United States Check out the videos on Twitter. Maybe I am totally wrong. It was totally live. Was it Daydream era vocals? Not by any means, but she definitely sounded better than September at that outside event. (Tuesday 6 December 2022; 18:07) this is a reply to message 101,743

Moet and Chandon performance (101,743) by Edward from USA Could you please elaborate? (Tuesday 6 December 2022; 12:24)

Moet and Chandon performance (101,742) by Bobby A from United States MC's voice is back. I loved her solo version of Big Energy. She really sounded like she will make us proud in 8 days. (Tuesday 6 December 2022; 12:05)

Oh Santa with Ari & J Hud (101,736) by Bobby A from United States No, I don't think so because I purchased the digital tracks from the special at FYE's Mix and Burn. And Oh Santa was not an option to select to create my CD. I really think the vocals were recorded separately piecing the vocals together to film the video. Just my thoughts.

Oh Santa with Ari & J Hud (101,735) by Todd from Sydney, Australia Watching the Apple TV show. So much of this show is in front of a green screen and it looks great. But - do we think that MC, AG & JH were ever actually in the same studio at the same time? (Sunday 4 December 2022; 22:41)

Charmbracelet - 20 years (101,728) by Bobby A from United States I just purchased Through The Rain on vinyl sealed to celebrate Charmbraclet's 20th anniversary. It was delivered early today. The Full Intention Club mix is one of MC's best. This is also the era when other producers/remixers started producing her remixes. (Sunday 4 December 2022; 00:08) this is a reply to message 101,727

Charmbracelet - 20 years (101,727) by Randy from USA I remember a lot about that era. I couldn't believe how beautiful Through The Rain was and the video is stunning. She was still doing lipping climaxes to the records, but she was on every show, despite not having a hit single. The View, Oprah, Matt Lauer interviewed her, MTV gave her a special. I didn't care for a lot of the album and at the time, I remember one reviewer stating that she did so many different things on the album that it was like mixing watercolors only to end up with a puddle of brown. I remember Lyor Cohen saying that she brought class to DefJam. It was a time where MC garnered respect because of her earlier hits that weren't as far away, but Glitter wasn't the nail in the coffin. Charmbracelet was the first and last time I would pay to see MC live. She lipped most of it. I was in full fan mode that night with butterfly and rainbow stickers all up and down my arm. It definitely is a moment. Through The Rain is the only way I make it to work many days. I still play Lullaby and Subtle Invitation. The rest of it is largely forgotten. But the era isn't.

Concert in Saudi Arabia (101,723) by Bobby A from United States We don't treat each nice anymore on this board. Why? (Friday 2 December 2022; 23:52) this is a reply to message 101,722

Concert in Saudi Arabia (101,722) by Lee from USA What's wrong with that? She haven't [sic] committed any crimes or abused drugs like most of the RRHOF inductees. (Friday 2 December 2022; 17:52)

AIWFCIY (101,712) by Bobby A from United States I predicted first here that she would be #1 before December 25th. Maybe this prediction will earn me finally some credibility. Lol. (Wednesday 30 November 2022; 22:24) this is a reply to message 101,710

AIWFCIY (101,710) by Terna from Nigeria Already? It's not even December yet. Lol. I noticed Brenda Lee's song is number 6 too and I'm like ain't no one listening to that [song] so soon unless maybe the trolls trying to unseat AIWFCIY. Haha. (Wednesday 30 November 2022; 17:08)

Macy's performance (101,703) by Bobby A from United States Maybe she was going to sing it live, but changed her mind during the last hour because of the wind or just wanting the perfect performance. (Tuesday 29 November 2022; 22:20) this is a reply to message 101,700

Macy's performance (101,700) by Jamie from UK I was in NYC and missed Mariah by one day. I've just been back and on NY1 news they were saying she had auto cue for the lyrics in front of her. They were saying why would she need auto cue for a song she knows inside out. It did surprise me too but then I thought maybe if her nerves got the better of her could she get overwhelmed and forget her lines. I hope it's not that's she's so far removed from reality that she needs prompting. (Tuesday 29 November 2022; 16:25)

CBS Christmas promos (101,698) by Bobby A from United States I am just wondering from the CBS promos airing if MC has pre-filmed some Christmas segments for the 2-hour special. Who knows she may even show some of the Apple TV special from last year? 30 minutes of the time will be commercials for sure. (Tuesday 29 November 2022; 00:54)

W Magazine cover (101,692) by Bobby A from United States MC is looking fabulous this month and breaking all types of chart records with her Christmas songs. No one can deny that this is the time of year that she shines the most. (Sunday 27 November 2022; 22:45) this is a reply to message 101,691

W Magazine cover (101,691) by jaker20 from US How does she do it? What the hell. She was just oversized a couple of weeks ago, but now she looks better than ever. (Sunday 27 November 2022; 20:43)

Macy's performance (101,679) by Bobby A from United States We all would like to know what really ruined MC's voice. It just seems like after Glitter, her voice started deteriorating with every album especially TEOM. I think it was all heavy belting during her tours from 1993-1996. MC wanting to be a perfectionist and the need to prove herself to others caused major damage to her voice. Then during the recording of the Butterfly album, we got the breathiness singing that we never got before. Her voice was beyond repair as evident on Memoirs and MIAM. It is going to be interested how much she uses a backing track and lip syncs during the Merry Christmas To All concert dates. Maybe MC will prove us all wrong starting December 13th. (Friday 25 November 2022; 21:34) this is a reply to message 101,677

Macy's performance (101,677) by Bill from the UK I know, I am truly so grateful I saw her during her indisputable best. It was one of the best nights of my life. Mariah was at her peak, as were her vocals, her music, her looks, her confidence, and my love for her. (Friday 25 November 2022; 20:15)

Macy's performance (101,667) by Bobby A from United States I thought it was a great performance. MC looked glamorous. Kristofer did her make-up so beautifully. She doesn't always need to sing live during an outside performance. My sister said the ending note was live though. Roc and Roe have really grown up. Happy Thanksgiving MCA family. (Thursday 24 November 2022; 20:38)

Angry elfs (101,659) by Bobby A from United States This reminds me of how you feel Lady B. MC said we have so called haters and we give this positivity. Where is Cindi Berger now? She was really good at speaking for MC. (Tuesday 22 November 2022; 13:45) this is a reply to message 101,658

Angry elfs (101,658) by Lady B from USA Some of you are angry elves. Me? I'll be at the Macy Parade and her MSG show on the 16th watching her prosper and enjoying being a fan. Anyone want to meet up and keep it positive? (Tuesday 22 November 2022; 04:57)

Debut album (101,654) by Bobby A from United States Critics say that MC's debut album is one of the most stunning and best debut albums ever. I would love for MC to release acapella versions and outtakes of the whole album to celebrate the 35th anniversary of its release. (Sunday 20 November 2022; 22:52)

AIWFCIY (101,653) by Bobby A from United States It has already started Edward. AIWFCIY has made it already to the iTunes Top 20 today. It is expected to make its debut on the Hot 100 next week. MC will be #1 earlier this year than last year. That is what I am predicting this year. It made it to number #1 the week of December 28th last year. If it does it again, this will be the 4th year. (Saturday 19 November 2022; 23:47) this is a reply to message 101,652

AIWFCIY (101,652) by Edward from USA I thought we were starting Christmas early this year. I haven't heard AIWFCIY playing anywhere here in NY. Hopefully we get another three weeks at #1. (Saturday 19 November 2022; 17:12)

Madison Square Garden 12/13 (101,638) by Bobby A from United States I hope she sings the Oh Santa/AIWFCIS [sic] mash-up. I had forgotten how much I loved the intro and dance beat/JD chant at the end of the mash-up. (Monday 14 November 2022; 22:20) this is a reply to message 101,637

Madison Square Garden 12/13 (101,637) by Lady B from USA I'll be at 12/16 and would love to meet up with any lambs that are going. (Monday 14 November 2022; 19:32)

Lil Durk (101,629) by Bobby A from United States MC did a short video with Lil Durk this week. Many fans are speculating about a Christmas collaboration. What if a AIWFCIY remix is coming or a new Christmas song ft. Lil Durk. If it is true, it wouldn't be out of MC's element? (Saturday 12 November 2022; 10:46)

CBS This Morning (101,628) by Bobby A from United States I hope she sounds amazing in December. Terna, we may get WAYC and some special guests in December. I hope she sings One Child with a full gospel choir. By the way, I ordered a CD version of the Apple Magical Christmas special from FYE's Mix and Burn today. (Friday 11 November 2022; 23:05) this is a reply to message 101,627

CBS This Morning (101,627) by Randy from USA I am sick of hearing about that damn book and nothing new came from this interview. But I have to admit, once again, she looked amazing, was coherent and likeable. She has really returned to form for this press tour. PS The letter she wrote her younger self was adorable. (Friday 11 November 2022; 13:06)

CBS Christmas special (101,623) by Bobby A from United States MC said she was hoping that one of her Merry Christmas To All shows would air on TV. Well, the queen got the contract signed at CBS. Mark it on your calendar for December 20th 8pm Eastern time. I am sure the DVD will be released next year. (Thursday 10 November 2022; 23:19)

Chart question (101,617) by Bobby A from United States Does anyone remember Columbia's marketing and chart strategy in 1995-1997 to cause Fantasy, One Sweet Day, and Honey to debut at #1 on Hot 100? It had to be more than radio airplay and physical sales. I think back then that new singles were released to radio and retailers on Tuesday. MC only did it during that time only. Butterfly could have done the same thing, but Tommy must have pulled all Butterfly marketing money to lessen the shine on the song's poignant message and lyrics that made him not too happy about his wife breaking free from him.

New album must unpredictable (101,567) by Bobby A from United States MC's is going to have to release [an] album that [is] different than anything she has done before. It needs to have some sounds that she has never done before. If not, the buying public and radio will not take notice. Also, her new Tik Tok promoting her Christmas shows was refreshing to hear with her current tone. MC can still sing but without the vocal prowess that she used to have. (Friday 28 October 2022; 21:39)

Nick Cannon (101,555) by Bobby A from United States No way. That man needs to stop. No wonder MC has lost her voice. She is probably embarrassed for Roc and Roe. (Thursday 27 October 2022; 00:22) this is a reply to message 101,554

Nick Cannon (101,554) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Nick Cannon is expecting his 12th baby. (Wednesday 26 October 2022; 23:43)

Concert in Saudi Arabia (101,548) by Bobby A from United States I was thinking again today. Mariah and Whitney are the only two female who totally lost their voices. Every other R&B and Pop female artists who have great voices who are still releasing music and performing live can still sing today. Too many to name. I will always believe that the whistle notes, belting, and the one that probably did damage the most to MC's voice is whisper singing. It's sad that I am writing this post. I believe the damage to her voice is irreversible now. We will know for sure on December 11th and 13th at the Merry Christmas To All shows. I will always think about listening to her first two albums haviing fun in 20's driving through East Memphis admiring the huge homes along affluent Walnut Grove Road on my way to classes at The University of Memphis. There was no one like her at the time. Those were the good ole days affirming that I was a fan of Mariah Carey. Only Stephanie Mills had my attention before MC. Stephanie Mills can still sing at age 65. (Wednesday 26 October 2022; 03:05) this is a reply to message 101,545

Concert in Saudi Arabia (101,545) by Bill from the UK Quite. She is the Olympian who can no longer compete. She's spent the best part of 30 years telling anyone who'd listen that she's a songwriter first and prefers songwriting to singing. Well, she may have squandered her vocal gift God gave her, but she still has her songwriting talent. Just hang up the malfunctioning ear piece once and for all and retire with some dignity. You all have no idea how much it pains me to write this. But I think this may be the last straw for me. I will love her forever, but I cannot enable this anymore. (Tuesday 25 October 2022; 19:43)

Concert in Saudi Arabia (101,540) by Bobby A from United States Oh, DK I see you are thinking about 12 year old Mariah's feelings. But, we are going to speak the truth to 52 year old Mimi. (Monday 24 October 2022; 23:54) this is a reply to message 101,539

Concert in Saudi Arabia (101,539) by SM from Citizen of the World Mariah sounded amazing during her concert in Saudi Arabia. (Monday 24 October 2022; 22:17)
