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

Re: Reimagining albums into 10 tracks (99,462) (99,464) by Bobby A from United States I just got my 10 points. 1. It's Like That 2. We Belong Together 3. Shake It Off 4. Mine Again 5. Say Something 6. Stay The Night 7. One and Only 8. Yours 9. Joy Ride 10. Fly Like A Bird Get My Number, Tonight, Circles, and I Wish You Knew were just album fillers to me.

Through The Rain/AYNAF (99,461) by Bobby A from United States I was going through some more of my Mariah papers today. Why did Through The Rain stall at #81 and AYNAF at #12 on the Hot 100? TTR failed to resonate with radio and the public like other inspirational songs such as Hero, Make It Happen, One Sweet Day and Vision of Love. It even stalled on the Adult AC chart at #17. Ironically, it was a number #1 dance hit. The Hex Hector/Max Quayle and Full Intention remixes were some of her best dance remixes since Fantasy. I remember MC saying in an interview that Lyor Cohen insisted on an inspirational ballad to be the album's first single because of her personal and professional struggles during the Glitter era. AYNAF should have been a least a top 5 hit. I wonder what is the backstory behind its stall at #12. Maybe Tommy had something to do with it? Or was it just the way it usually was back then with 4th and 5th singles where they don't perform as well as 1st through 3rd singles? Just my thoughts. (Tuesday 18 January 2022; 02:26)

Re: Original title for Somewhat Loved? (99,456) (99,457) by Bobby A from United States I am sure MC will never have a 10-song album again. (Monday 17 January 2022; 20:31)

Re: Caution (99,444) (99,450) by Bobby A from United States Bill, I would like to have known if The Art of Letting Go title had never been leaked in Wal-mart's website, how the album would have been perceived. MIAM was such a crazy title from the start. Also, I would like to know how the title The Art of Letting Go title made it onto Wal-Mart's website anyway. Wasn't there supposed be an original duet with R. Kelly titled I Can't Love U? (Monday 17 January 2022; 00:15)

Original title for Somewhat Loved? (99,449) by Bobby A from United States I am looking back at a news article from MCA on 08-10-13 titled Tracklist Revealed for Mariah's new album. Track 5 is The Dream collaboration called Hope Street. I think that it must have been the original title of Somewhat Loved. It's funny that we all have forgotten Somewhat Loved. Do you think it will ever make it on a greatest hits collection? Lol. (Monday 17 January 2022; 00:06)

More collaboration needed (99,447) by Bobby A from United States When I look at the songwriters on the first two singles from Mary J. Blige's new album, I can only hope MC is looking at H.E.R., D'mile, DJ Khaled, Lucky Daye, Denisia Andrews, and Brittney Coney. MC is going to have to shake it up some on MC16 if she is going to even expect some airplay. MJB is going to own February with her new album and her Superbowl performance.

Caution (99,442) by Bobby A from United States Caution to me always felt like that album unlike any other MC album. It had a messy rollout, wrong single choices and she bashed it a year later during interviews. It should only have been released in Japan like Monica did All Eyez On Me in 2002. After some personal sorrows, she released After The Storm in 2003. (Sunday 16 January 2022; 03:11)

Re: Lil Love (99,439) (99,440) by Bobby A from United States Me too. R&B radio played it all the time when I lived in Memphis. (Saturday 15 January 2022; 19:39)

Lil Love (99,438) by Bobby A from United States How many of you remember this jam? I finally found a copy of Strength and Loyalty at my local 2nd and Charles. Her vocals are not that great in 2007, but the whistles notes are hot. (Saturday 15 January 2022; 17:43)

Re: Acting roles (99,432) (99,433) by Bobby A from United States I am serious, Edward. (Saturday 15 January 2022; 07:18)

Weight loss (99,431) by Bobby A from United States Am correct that MC showed major weight loss in 2008 and 2013? I know 2008 was her fittest time since 1990. I think that she used a trainer in 2008 compared to 2013. Her voice was in the best shape since the Charmbracelet era. But GMA performance premature backing track embarrassed MC and the buying public noticed that she was no longer the Voice. (Saturday 15 January 2022; 01:01)

Acting roles (99,426) by Bobby A from United States I wonder why MC has not received any acting roles lately. She's going to lose her acting skills if she doesn't use them. (Friday 14 January 2022; 20:01)

My thoughts (99,421) by Bobby A from United States Timbaland and Mike Will Made It could produce half of MC16 and I would not be mad. (Friday 14 January 2022; 03:20)

Re: The Christmas Princess (99,414) (99,416) by Bobby A from United States I thought that you loved Why You Mad, Bill? Lol. (Thursday 13 January 2022; 16:05)

Re: The Christmas Princess (99,411) (99,413) by Bobby A from United States Right. Where is L.A. Reid to get MC back on track? (Thursday 13 January 2022; 12:02)

Babydoll (99,401) by Bobby A from United States Brandy retweeted another Lamb's tweet of "It's 2:11." If it is true that she recorded Babydoll with MC, then it is going to take Babydoll to a whole different level. I didn't think it was The Roof because the song is too personal to MC. (Saturday 8 January 2022; 14:03)

Re: There's an album somewhere (99,395) (99,397) by Bobby A from United States Brandy says in the interview that Mariah invited her to sing with her. I am taking that as it will be a duet. It has to be something special with The Vocal Bible and Songbird Supreme on one track. Now if Daniel Moore III co-wrote and co-produced the track, then I will be disappointed. I just don't like his songwriting and production. I think that it is a poor imitation of Big Jim Wright. (Friday 7 January 2022; 21:47)

Re: There's an album somewhere (99,393) (99,394) by Bobby A from United States Brandy's interview with Rated R&B was really good. She has so much respect for MC. She said MC coached her in the recording booth and she did whatever she asked her to do. Some good things are on the way y'all. (Friday 7 January 2022; 12:26)

Re: Blending eras (99,388) (99,391) by Bobby A from United States Great topic Matty. (Friday 7 January 2022; 03:13)

Re: Last really good vocalist (99,384) (99,386) by Bobby A from United States I forgot about these great female singers. Kierra Sheard and Tasha Cobbs Leonard. (Thursday 6 January 2022; 21:10)

School Gyrls (99,379) by Bobby A from United States On the School Gyrls's song, Get Like Me, MC does not receive any background vocal credit on the song. However, it's truly evident that she is singing on the song she co-wrote. Am I right? I wonder how many other songs she ghosted on. Don't Go Looking For Love? Last Chance? Head Over Heels? (Wednesday 5 January 2022; 20:16)

Re: Last really good vocalist (99,376) (99,378) by Bobby A from United States I would say Jazmine Sullivan, but she doesn't get the recognition she deserves. (Wednesday 5 January 2022; 16:32)

Re: Never Forget You (99,369) (99,371) by Bobby A from United States Stop it Edward. Lmao. (Tuesday 4 January 2022; 21:03)

MC and Janet song? (99,361) by Bobby A from United States This was found out on the internet today. Did anybody know that MC and Janet wrote a song together with Henry Humes called If I Could Count The Stars? (Tuesday 4 January 2022; 00:50)

Re: Vinyls (99,359) (99,360) by Bobby A from United States The Rarities on vinyl is actual a rarity itself now. Lol. The prices on eBay and Amazon are outrageous. I am glad that all who purchased a copy in 2020 including myself got one at a reasonable price. The 12's are going for an outrageous price too on eBay. I need to go onto Fye's Mix and Burn website and order all of the Memoirs, MIAM, and Caution remixes on a mix and burn CD. I don't know why I haven't done it yet. We are all waiting on some more goodies from her store. (Monday 3 January 2022; 20:57)
