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

MB30 (102,913) by Bobby A from United States Maybe I can listen to just one song occasionally. That song is NFY. I called Music Box Tommy's control album. He was so disappointed with the heavy R&B influence and low sales of Emotions that Tommy mandated a more pop influence like MC's debut. Music Box's album cover pose is less than flattering too and one heck of a boring album cover. It reminds me of what Tommy was trying to do to suffocate MC by having her pose like young opera singer at a New York concert hall full of middle-aged married couples. MB is just one boring album from start to finish. Thank God two years later, MC gave us the beautiful Daydream. (Sunday 18 June 2023; 17:52) this is a reply to message 102,910

MB30 (102,910) by TJ from Norway You should try it. (Sunday 18 June 2023; 03:42)

MB30 (102,906) by Bobby A from United States MB is my least favorite MC album. I don't listen to it at all. (Saturday 17 June 2023; 22:12) this is a reply to message 102,900

MB30 (102,900) by TJ from Norway I didn't like them when the album was released. It felt old at the moment. Not 1993. (Saturday 17 June 2023; 18:11)

Where are you Christmas (102,893) by Bobby A from United States The website Secondhand Songs is reporting that MC originally recorded WAYC, but because of a legal case against Tommy Mottolla the song could not be released. What legal case did MC have with Tommy back in 2000? That is the first time that I have heard of a legal case in 2000. So there has to be MC's originally track in the vault somewhere. I don't like Josie Aiello's version from the Mannheim Steamroller Christmasville soundtrack. It doesn't have that polish pop sound like Faith Hill's version. Aiello's version is on the Secondhand Songs website. (Thursday 15 June 2023; 16:47)

MB30 (102,890) by Bobby A from United States Sony Legacy is just not willing to invest in MC and her catalogue anymore. Anniversary and greatest hits collections that have a lot of money invested in them are when artist or band have just had a couple of albums prior that were huge sellers for the label. Me I Am Mariah and Caution were huge disappointments for Island/Def Jam and Epic. I bet MC invested a lot of her money in the vinyl pressing of the $160.00 Butterfly boxset that was sold on her website. (Thursday 15 June 2023; 13:53) this is a reply to message 102,889

MB30 (102,889) by Bill from the UK No tour footage, no tour audio, a lukewarm "deluxe" digital album with only 3 new additions, an expensive cassette re-issue, an overly expensive non-audiophile vinyl pressing with no new material, and re-hashed merchandise. So yes. Botched. (Thursday 15 June 2023; 11:38)

Find that Rainbow's end (102,886) by Bobby A from United States Radio wouldn't play it now because it is too cheesy in 2023. MC needs to release something in the vain of Toosi's Favorite Son. The Favorite Son message is what she was conveying in the Rainbow Interlude in 1999. The gospel children's choir reminds me so much of something MC would record and release. (Wednesday 14 June 2023; 23:24) this is a reply to message 102,885

Find that Rainbow's end (102,885) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Release that song now. It’s about time Mariah brings back the glory of that 90’s dance house remix. Who would’ve thought that when Mariah said back in the day that one day she’s going to finish the song Rainbow interlude, the song would be a dance song. (Wednesday 14 June 2023; 20:54)

Who is she kidding? (102,880) by Bobby A from United States How long can she keep putting on this facade? She doesn't get offers for major endorsements like cosmetics, clothing, and soft drink companies anymore. She has always been known to have the voice. (Tuesday 13 June 2023; 20:39) this is a reply to message 102,879

Who is she kidding? (102,879) by Nick G from Germany Well I was there and what can I say? I quote my good friend Clarissa: Mariah was the best drag queen of the day. the movements, the attitudes and she sang like a drunk tourist in a karaoke bar. it was funny and sad at the same time. (Tuesday 13 June 2023; 17:30)

Who is she kidding? (102,875) by Bobby A from United States Is that why the board has been so quiet about her performance? Have you noticed that her hand doesn't go up in air like her early 90's and 2000's performances? It stays very close to her waist now like to say that she is not feeling like she will be able to execute her notes successfully. (Monday 12 June 2023; 22:30) this is a reply to message 102,873

Who is she kidding? (102,873) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway She can't sing a note anymore. (Monday 12 June 2023; 20:53)

Hopes for Mariah’s Pride performance (102,868) by Bobby A from United States The videos on the web are promising. She sounded better during the Pride performance than the Lovers and Friends performance. I love the Rainbow interlude dance remix with new lyrics. I am just wondering if the hold up for new music has nothing to do with vocal issues, but rather not having a record label. (Sunday 11 June 2023; 08:06) this is a reply to message 102,865

Hopes for Mariah’s Pride performance (102,865) by Brandon from USA What are you guys hoping to see during Mariah's upcoming performance? I want to see a completely revamped set list with her performing a lot of her remixes. I don't want to see any long sequined gowns but more body suits, jump suits and short flirty dresses. I also want to see a confident, well rehearsed Mariah owning the stage. I do not want to see her in tight corsets or super tall heels that restricts her movement or singing. I don't want a bunch of lip syncing with an occasional "Aye" shout nor for her to look as though she's lost on stage and doesn't know where to go. I want her to properly warm up that golden voice and tear the house down like we know she can. (Friday 9 June 2023; 18:20)

The Weekend collaboration (102,866) by Bobby A from United States I was going to post about the song yesterday, but got busy headed to the airport. It's called Popular and it is a hot summer song. It also features Playboi Cardi. I like the way Madonna swoops in for her verse like she has been singing R&B all of her life. The beat is something that The Weekend has never done before. (Friday 9 June 2023; 18:35) this is a reply to message 102,864

The Weekend collaboration (102,864) by Brandon from USA The Weekend just released a song with Madonna and she's way past her prime so he obviously doesn't have a problem working with legacy artists. For some reason, he just wasn't interested in working with Mariah specifically. (Friday 9 June 2023; 18:09)

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,859) by Bobby A from United States We will probably never see artists like MC, Madonna, Rihanna, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Celine Dion 20 years from now with such popularity and wealth. (Friday 9 June 2023; 01:48) this is a reply to message 102,857

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,857) by Bill from the UK I think my point is more around being objective and holding the mirror up. Mariah's success in those other markets is mirrored or bettered by the others on the list, let's not forget that. Many of the females on the list claim to be the best selling lol. I agree Madonna isn't looking her best lately, but hey, who is? I mean I'm not even a fan of hers but I recognise she was a trailblazer and a lot of her songs will forever be part of pop culture. I know she doesn't like Mariah and Mariah doesn't like her, but that doesn't mean her accomplishments should be ignored. She's as bone fide a songwriter as Mariah is, perhaps more so? What irks me is the refusal, by some, to believe that anyone could possibly be better than Mariah at anything at all, ever. Purely because she has 20 number ones in one country. (Thursday 8 June 2023; 22:10)

The Weekend collaboration (102,855) by Bobby A from United States Whatever happened to MC wanting to collaborate with The Weekend? I just wonder how MC would have sounded on the Die For You remix or even on Out of Time. (Thursday 8 June 2023; 16:08)

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,850) by Bobby A from United States I will even take a JD produced track at this point. We have been in a MC drought far too long now. If she really wanted to be honest with all of us, she would sit down with Oprah for a TV special this summer and tell us everything about her voice problems, her feelings about Nick's many kids under 6 years old, and her troubled relationship with her mother and siblings. Oprah would love to let MC tell her story on her terms. (Wednesday 7 June 2023; 21:48) this is a reply to message 102,846

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,846) by Edward from USA I guess it's Mariah's fault. We need some studio music now. The Rarities 2 would have us all holding hands like we used to in middle school. (Wednesday 7 June 2023; 15:30)

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,834) by Bobby A from United States Edward, are you trying to teach the Lambs about angles? The obtuse angle is the smaller angle. Lol. I am cracking up this morning, but also concerned that MC not making a Forbes list is such a hot and contested topic among some Lambs. She will make other lists this year. (Tuesday 6 June 2023; 15:08) this is a reply to message 102,832

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,832) by Edward from USA You seem to be a lil bit obtuse. "Yass Queen" doesn't refer to sexuality. It refers to what delusional fans like yourself blindly call Mariah when she has done a great or horrible job. And Eric, my dear, has always been fair to all of us. You don't get to have a board like this for 25 years by being a tyrant. (Tuesday 6 June 2023; 14:30)

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,833) by Bobby A from United States Here we go again. Can't we all just agree to disagree on this board. We are all just a melting pot of many different backgrounds, beliefs, and opinions. Love and peace Lambs. (Tuesday 6 June 2023; 14:55) this is a reply to message 102,831

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,831) by Bill from the UK Mocking sexual preferences? What on earth are you talking about. We're talking about why Mariah is not on the Forbes list and I've presented logical facts as to why she isn't rather than the standard "she's had more number ones than anybody therefore she is the best" argument that always gets thrown around here by the delusionals. (Tuesday 6 June 2023; 14:20)

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,824) by Bobby A from United States Bill, you feel that Infinity was downfall of MC's career, right? MC's career never recovered after that horrible song was released and placed as the lead single on a greatest hits collection. She should have recorded and released a follow up to Vision of Love or something in its vain. Will she ever recover to reclaim her 2005 comeback? (Tuesday 6 June 2023; 01:44) this is a reply to message 102,822

Forbes richest women, no Mariah (102,822) by Bill from the UK I mean I was literally the only person that commented on the original article so gathered it was directed at me. But yeh, sorry, as great as Mariah was, she's nowhere near as rich and popular as the ladies in the Forbes article. This is why she isn't on the list lol. Keep slaying. (Monday 5 June 2023; 16:31)

Wait wait wait (102,821) by Bobby A from United States Most artists who are inducted are respected pop artists. When MC moved more into the R&B genre, she made it harder for music industry board members to nominate her for accolades that we as Lambs know she deserves. Remember it was just two years ago that she was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. I believe the Emotions album was a R&B step in the wrong direction too soon. The back and forth from pop to R&B the first 4 albums confused a lot of music industry board members, but radio loved her pop and R&B songs. (Monday 5 June 2023; 14:01) this is a reply to message 102,819

Wait wait wait (102,819) by Randy from USA Sheryl Crow? They are inducting Sheryl Crow over Mariah Carey in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Look I like Soak Up The Sun but she doesn't have any of the statistics MC has. For a 9 time Grammy award winner, she has no number ones and has sold 50 million albums. Whitney, Janet, Madonna have all made it in. No MC? Come on industry. (Monday 5 June 2023; 12:26)

The Rarities 2 or something like it (102,809) by Bobby A from United States MC is going to have to release The Rarities 2 or something like it to get us excited again. I am growing so impatient with waiting on new music that I am listening and purchasing all of Jessie Ware's albums. She is amazing. Her music and artistry reminds me of what I miss about MC. Her 5th album, That Feels Good, is brilliant and the perfect album for a summer party. (Saturday 3 June 2023; 05:03)

Circles remix (102,806) by Bobby A from United States I love it. It's definitely a Ministry of Sound remix. Their remixes are known repetitive lyrics and altered vocals. I like the Dev Marvelous remix on YouTube better. (Friday 2 June 2023; 13:33) this is a reply to message 102,802

Circles remix (102,802) by Jamie from UK Check it out it's great. Good summer vibes. (Thursday 1 June 2023; 18:46)

Randy follow up (102,793) by Bobby A from United States According to Wikipedia, the original songwriters were commissioned by Disney. When MC signed on to sing Almost Home, she and producers Stargate changed it a bit and Almost Home became what was released. It's funny the website the Singersroom says that Sia Furler wrote the song with the other songwriters. It does have a Sia influenced melody during the lyrics. Could she be a ghost songwriter on the song? She was extremely popular then as a songwriter. (Wednesday 31 May 2023; 00:42) this is a reply to message 102,792

Randy follow up (102,792) by Bill from the UK Source? I quoted directly from Mariah's book. (Tuesday 30 May 2023; 18:33)

Circles remix (102,784) by Bobby A from United States I am curious see how he wraps the dance beat around her vocals. I love the vocals flaws in Circles as it helps to showcase her heartache and vulnerability in the lyrics. (Monday 29 May 2023; 18:55) this is a reply to message 102,783

Circles remix (102,783) by Jamie from UK I've just seen online there is supposed to be a Circles deep house remix released soon by DJ Eliemusic. I saw it on MariahCareyAu on Instagram. (Monday 29 May 2023; 14:07)

Best song intro (102,780) by Bobby A from United States You're so right, Matty. The Bachelorette commercial is what prompted my post. I was moving around cleaning in my living room and I heard the Fantasy intro and MC's iconic voice. I think that Fantasy has been used more in past 5 years in commercials and movies than any other MC song. 1990-1999 will always be the years that non fans will know Mariah Carey for her work and artistry. Cheers to the queen of iconic songs and intros and that voice back then. I hope that we get biopic movie in the next five years played by the Australian singer and actress Tina Arena. (Sunday 28 May 2023; 11:57) this is a reply to message 102,779

Best song intro (102,779) by Matty from Vancouver Canada Fantasy is like nothing else. I think it's her most known intro to non-lambs for sure and you just know exactly the fire and heat she's about to unleash. I love the "Bounce Bounce Bounce" from Migrate is epic especially for an album opener; probably her best album opener. I'd also back the LoverBoy Firecracker intro; it's a heartbreaker that she couldn't have released that initially. Ps. Any North American's see the upcoming commercial for The Bachelorette? [They] use [Fantasy] in it, and starts with that epic intro. It's almost a best of montage Fantasy it's [an] amazing commercial and I'm not even a fan of the show. (Sunday 28 May 2023; 06:38)

Best song intro (102,774) by Bobby A from United States The intro to Fantasy is MC's best song intro. (Saturday 27 May 2023; 04:02)

RIP Tina (102,768) by Bobby A from United States Tina was simply best. RIP Tina. (Thursday 25 May 2023; 00:43) this is a reply to message 102,765

RIP Tina (102,765) by MC1989 from Spain Long Live the Queen Of Rock. Today I can't stop crying. It is such a loss. I remember how her songs and her life story gave me strength during highschool. I hope Mariah lives many many years with health. We have to be thankful for having her among us. (Wednesday 24 May 2023; 22:06)

Studio (102,763) by Bobby A from United States I saw that post. She looks beautiful. (Wednesday 24 May 2023; 17:24) this is a reply to message 102,761

Studio (102,761) by Lady B from USA Anyone else see her latest IG post with the dogs where she mentions studio time? (Wednesday 24 May 2023; 16:20)

DFAU U.S. double vinyl (102,759) by Bobby A from United States Does anybody know why the U.S. double vinyl release never received an photo cover instead was packaged in a plain white cover with only a hype sticker? It looks like the Japan version received the official single cover. (Tuesday 23 May 2023; 17:10)
