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

MTV Unplugged Target Exclusive vinyl (95,482) by Bobby A from United States I guess MC did break the internet on Wednesday. The MTV Unplugged Target Exclusive vinyl has been designated as "pre-orders have sold-out". Don't worry because they do this to make sure that they can get all of pre-orders shipped by November 6th. They will open up the ordering again once the pre-orders have all shipped. Plus, you know they are going ship some to the stores on or after November 6th. The same scenario happened with Taylor Swift's Lover. I bought that one in the store on release day. Don't buy that MC one eBay for $75.00. Lol. (Friday 11 September 2020; 03:49)

Re: Snippets new album (95,478) (95,481) by Bobby A from United States They have been removed now. Lol. (Friday 11 September 2020; 00:57)

Re: Snippets new album (95,473) (95,478) by Bobby A from United States They are amazing. One Night, Here We Go Round Again, All I Live For have that Motown sound. It looks like another great end during the last quarter of the year. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 22:49)

Re: Vinyl re-issues (95,466) (95,472) by Bobby A from United States You're welcome. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 18:50)

Re: Vinyl re-issues (95,455) (95,464) by Bobby A from United States Well it looks like Memoirs is not saying remastered on MC's website because it is the vinyl from the limited edition Memoirs box set from 2009. I am still going to purchase anyway because of the chance it may be 150 grams. Merry Christmas is the same imited edition vinyl that was released in 2012. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 01:20)

Re: The Rarities tracklist (95,459) (95,462) by Bobby A from United States I just thought about the eclectic list of producers on The Rarities. Could Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis have produced Out Here On My Own for the Glitter soundtrack? And since James "Big Jim" Wright was MC's musical director at the time of Lullaby Of Birdland's live recording then he has to be listed as the co-producer. I am pretty sure Loris Holland and Randy Jackson co-produced Mesmerized. Daniel Moore will probably be listed as the co-producer on Close Your Eyes (Acoustic). (Thursday 10 September 2020; 00:57)

Re: Vinyl re-issues (95,457) (95,461) by Bobby A from United States Sure thing Tevin. You receive a live in the studio sound with vinyl records compared to CD's. The higher the vinyl gram quality a vinyl record is the better the sound. Most new vinyl records are 150 grams and up. Remastered vinyl records are even better. I recommend the Audio Technical belt drive turntable. They are really a reasonable priced excellent quality turntable. I have one myself. I am planning on purchasing their direct drive turntable soon. In order to play their turntable you will need a music system unit that has an auxillary port connection (red and white plugs). Then you will need some good quality bookshelf or floor speakers. The vintage floor speakers to me give you the best sound. However, newer bookshelf speakers are good too. Stay away from the speaker brands like Curtis, Emerson, and GPX. The sound quality with those brands is horrible. Check out your local Goodwill or other thrift stores for a good quality music system and speakers from brands like Sony, JVC, Panasonic, and Philips. That's how I created my music system. When you get your first turntable, I will send you a vinyl record as a gift. (Thursday 10 September 2020; 00:38)

Re: The Rarities tracklist (95,441) (95,456) by Bobby A from United States This is MC at her best right here. I wonder if we will get All I Live For as the official first single. (Wednesday 9 September 2020; 19:26)

Re: Vinyl re-issues (95,443) (95,455) by Bobby A from United States Does this mean that Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas II You, and Memoirs have been remastered again since their first release on vinyl? I have all three already. Oh, well I guess I will order all 17 again. This is the best day ever as a Lamb. No other day comes close to it except the release day of TEOM. I guess I better buy me a direct drive turntable to really hear the full live experience of the Tokyo concert. Direct drive turntables provide a fuller richer sound compared to belt drive turntables.

Re: The Rarities tracklist (95,446) (95,454) by Bobby A from United States This tracklist is better than my little tea cup 3 weeks ago. Wow. I am looking forward to hearing them all especially All I Live For. (Wednesday 9 September 2020; 19:08)

Re: The Rarities (95,439) (95,440) by Bobby A from United States Wow. Somebody pick me off of the floor. I have been tweeting her all year to release her entire catalogue on vinyl. (Wednesday 9 September 2020; 13:20)

Re: True Treacle (95,434) (95,436) by Bobby A from United States Lol. I will keep my dignity for the rest of the day only. (Monday 7 September 2020; 20:35)

MC new vinyl (95,435) by Bobby A from United States I am communicating with Grimey's in Nashville to let me know when they can order TEOM and Rainbow reissued vinyl. They are really good with calling you with updates. 70 percent of today's new vinyl is produced in Nashville. Grimey's has contacts with many of the vendors who ship new vinyl to indie record shops like Grimey's. I will keep everyone updated including The Rarities vinyl. (Monday 7 September 2020; 19:18)

Re: Book parts (95,425) (95,428) by Bobby A from United States Very interesting that if one of those times in her life didn't happen, we wouldn't have the same MC today. I am sure Crustella will be talked about in the Emancipated part. I am so excited to get my hands on a copy. (Monday 7 September 2020; 11:52)

Re: True Treacle (95,426) (95,427) by Bobby A from United States I love listening to him speak. You are so right. I subscribed to his YouTube channel a long time ago and now he has blown up. There is something about British men. I want them all Edward. Lol. (Monday 7 September 2020; 11:44)

Butterfly (95,424) by Bobby A from United States Listening to Butterfly the song right now. I can truly say that was the Mariah who was adored by radio programmers. If we can only get that Mariah back again with MC16. Michael Jackson lost his smooth sound when he stopped working with Quincy Jones. Madonna lost her material girl pop when she stopped working with Patrick Leonard and Stephen Bray. So, I won't mention his name again. But you know how MC lost signature pop ballad sound. Hopefully radio will notice MC again on October 2nd. (Monday 7 September 2020; 02:48)

Just thinking about The Rarities (95,418) by Bobby A from United States I really feel the next 3 weeks leading up to the book and The Rarities release that we are in for a promotional rollout that is going to be like no other. I am looking forward to listening to The Rarities just like I did TEOM and Daydream for first time. MC's voice will be her best on this album. People are going to realize why she is the Songbird Supreme. I am ready for another R&B jam like what has been said about Hypnotized. I am curious to why Can You Hear Me has been described as The Jackson's ABC. I wonder if Mesmerized is a ballad. I am so ready for the remastered versions of Do You Think Of Me, Everything Fades Away and Slipping Away. I am looking forward to hearing Anything Can Happen, Out Here On My Own, Kick Rocks, and Loverboy. This will be MC's first album in awhile not to feature any rappers. I am hoping for a Target or Walmart Exclusive announcement soon. Are you ready to make MC debut at number #1? I am rambling. I know. (Sunday 6 September 2020; 15:47)

Everything Fades Away (95,417) by Bobby A from United States Did we ever confirm that Will Downing is the male voice on EFA? If he is the male vocalist, it would be a great marketing strategy to say Everything Fades Away featuring Will Downing. (Sunday 6 September 2020; 15:28)

Re: Patricia Carey (95,407) (95,410) by Bobby A from United States This is so sad. This woman has never been able to be a grandmother to Roc and Roe. Life is so hard when you [have] family issues. I know from experience. (Saturday 5 September 2020; 21:05)

Re: Do You Know (95,406) (95,409) by Bobby A from United States Lol. What are you trying to say Edward? (Saturday 5 September 2020; 20:37)

Ledisi covers Without You (95,408) by Bobby A from United States Ledisi covers Without You on her new album. She sings it just like MC. She hits all the high notes. Check it out. (Saturday 5 September 2020; 20:11)

Patricia Carey (95,403) by Bobby A from United States Is really true that Mariah and her mother have been estranged for years now? Any truth to Mariah moving Patricia into an assisted living facility in Florida because of failing health and in preparation for the media storm that is going to follow when Mariah's book comes out. (Saturday 5 September 2020; 03:21)

Do You Know (95,401) by Bobby A from United States Where is Andrew this week? He has been awfully quiet this week. Lol. Anyway, here in Atlanta I am listening to Do You Know Where You Are Going To Bonita right now on the 16th floor of my Peachtree Street apartment. I am just having a ball dancing to this remix. This is why MC is the queen of remixes. I love the gifts she's given us today. I am so proud to be a fan. (Saturday 5 September 2020; 00:02)

Save The Day (95,377) by Bobby A from United States Save The Day was just played on Tigger's V103 morning show at 6:16 for the first time. It sounded so much better on the radio. (Friday 4 September 2020; 12:24)

Re: Derek Jeter (95,375) (95,376) by Bobby A from United States Oh yeah. I forgot For The Record. (Friday 4 September 2020; 12:16)
