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

Anthony fellow lamb (112,130) by Bobby A from United States Thank you. It has been a good year for us all with the old OGs and new OGs coming together as one collective group. (Tuesday 28 October 2025; 11:42) this is a reply to message 112,113

Refreshing (112,129) by Bobby A from United States MC's performance of Butterfly on the David Letterman Show was a brillant rendition. (Tuesday 28 October 2025; 11:38) this is a reply to message 112,125

Anthony fellow lamb (112,112) by Bobby A from United States Thank you so much, Lambs. I feel like a new person today. I had a great birthday celebration by myself reflecting on my life. Klove radio really has changed me. My future is brighter now. (Sunday 26 October 2025; 23:40) this is a reply to message 112,108

Anthony fellow lamb (112,111) by Bobby A from United States I haven't moved back yet. I am hoping to leave Texas next summer for either Nashville or Atlanta. This will be my final major city relocation. (Sunday 26 October 2025; 23:36) this is a reply to message 112,107

Anthony fellow lamb (112,107) by Libra Lamb from USA If you're back in Atlanta, and I'm sorry if I missed that confirmation, hoping we could meet up for coffee, drinks or a meal? (Sunday 26 October 2025; 13:05)

Anthony fellow lamb (112,101) by Bobby A from United States I am still here, Libra Lamb. I just wanted to change my profile name to celebrate my 20 years plus on the board. Time flies by so fast. I turned 53 years old yesterday. (Sunday 26 October 2025; 09:45) this is a reply to message 112,068

Merry Christmas 2024 vinyls (112,094) by Bobby A from United States How is the sound on the Original Master Recording Merry Christmas vinyl at 45RPM compared to the Ultra One-Step 33RPM vinyl? (Saturday 25 October 2025; 16:42)

Confetti and Champagne (112,092) by Bobby A from United States I would love for MC to work with just four producer/songwriter partners and one female songwriter only for her next album. It would be a formula for TEOM II. 1. Babyface, Darryl Simmons, and Antonio Dixion 2. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis 3. Tricky Stewart, Ben Parris, and Kuk Harrell 4. Tank and J. Valentine 5. Muni Long (Saturday 25 October 2025; 14:08) this is a reply to message 112,089

Confetti and Champagne (112,089) by TJ from Norway I would rather have something from the vault than another HFIA. Release the demotape, the version of All in My Mind that she teased us with during covid. There are more songs from that time that I would love to listen to. Release Someone's Ugly Daughter. That is an album I definitely would play over and over again. Release an album with old cover songs. Release more live stuff on videos. I know there are a lot of them. (Saturday 25 October 2025; 10:59)

Confetti and Champagne (112,084) by Bobby A from United States Do you really think MC's drive for recording another album is gone? (Saturday 25 October 2025; 01:09) this is a reply to message 112,076

Confetti and Champagne (112,076) by Libra Lamb from USA Give it about 6-8 years for MC 17, if not more. (Friday 24 October 2025; 13:51)

Confetti and Champagne (112,066) by Bobby A from United States Haha. I didn't like it as much when the album came out, but I have to play it all the time driving home from work. I am looking forward to MC17 in 2027 and the return of JD. (Friday 24 October 2025; 02:33) this is a reply to message 112,047

Confetti and Champagne (112,047) by Giovanni from USA Where were you when I posted about the song Bobby haha? I like it but it's too short. I mean 2 minutes is simply not enough. It should be 4 instead. (Thursday 23 October 2025; 02:30)

My 2 cents (112,043) by Bobby A from United States There really have not been any new R&B producers to come along in the past 7 years like how Mike Will Made It, Darryl DJ Camper, and DJ Mustard just blew up on the music scene with multiple album placements for 5 years. Where is the next Mike Will Made It hiding at? (Thursday 23 October 2025; 00:57) this is a reply to message 112,020

My 2 cents (112,020) by Lara from Middle East What MOIA and MIATEC lacked in production, was in her last 2 albums. Lyrically wise, it's the opposite. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 10:41)

Confetti and Champagne (112,041) by Bobby A from United States What song have we heard those same whiste notes at the end of the song? I am baffled right now. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 23:34)

My 2 cents (112,040) by Bobby A from United States Confetti and Champagne is a slowed version of Pour It Up. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 23:21) this is a reply to message 112,025

My 2 cents (112,025) by Lambi from USA I agree. 2009-2015, Mariah was generally stuck in the late 2000’s production. Rihanna was doing songs like Pour It Up and Beyoncé Drunk In Love. They were plugged in with the hot producers at the time. Mariah did eventually catch up on Caution though, shame they let it flop. (Wednesday 22 October 2025; 13:11)

Wow (112,011) by Bobby A from United States Thank you Bill for your kind words. We have been riding together a long time. (Tuesday 21 October 2025; 11:35) this is a reply to message 112,005

Wow (112,005) by Bill from the UK Nothing personal, but I think the recent comments needed to be addressed as they were presented as facts when they absolutely were not. I do the same when others come on here and start making stuff up. You also tried a couple of posts ago to dress me down but it doesn't bother me, nor should you let what I post bother you. To be completely honest I enjoy your enthusiasm and energy when you're talking about Mariah. And Bobby A and I are tight, I love him dearly and we've never had a bad word between us. He's one of the best fans I've ever come across. We've been friends for years. So let's move on and talk about Mariah and her great new music she's delivered. (Monday 20 October 2025; 16:37)

Wow (111,979) by Bobby A from United States Bill, Edward is right. The very first "it's time" video is when MC was cloned. Sony had to clone her to keep the AIWFCIY royalties coming in. (Saturday 18 October 2025; 23:50) this is a reply to message 111,975

Wow (111,975) by Edward from USA Bill, I think you're just being a hating hater. It's very well known and deep researched by many of us on this board that Mariah was cloned and the real Mariah was sacrificed by the Illuminati a long time ago. Exactly the same thing that happened to Michael and Whitney, they were "retired" early because they were past their cloning prime. And now, according to some extra digging I did, dark hairy forces are prepping "Christina Aguilera" to steal Christmas from this "Mariah clone". It gets deeper. Mars, Neptune, Saturn, Jupiter and Uranus will align on December 1st, and that cosmic event, according to my astral digging, will stop Mariah from hitting #1 this year. And if that fails, they've got Ariana on standby for next year. If you add up all the letters in "Ariana Grande", divide by Mercury's orbit, and multiply by Mariah's whistle note frequency, you get 666. It's terrifying. I myself fear for my life with all this info I've uncovered. Juut in case, I just want everybody here to know that I'm not suicidal. (Saturday 18 October 2025; 17:32)

Here For It All (111,950) by Bobby A from United States I don't remember that brutal period on the board. I do remember Maria though. Did she leave because of you know who? She should post again and say hello. (Friday 17 October 2025; 14:17) this is a reply to message 111,946

Here For It All (111,946) by Edward from USA She left but she always stood her ground. Those were different times though. At that point, we needed helmets over here. It was brutal. (Friday 17 October 2025; 12:51)

Here for it All (111,949) by Bobby A from United States Lol. I meant impossible. (Friday 17 October 2025; 14:08) this is a reply to message 111,941

Here for it All (111,941) by Bobby A from United States Nothing is possible. Her second come back is coming. I say this because so many things will happen like her autobiographical project and recognition finally by the Grammies. I just feel it in my soul. (Friday 17 October 2025; 11:20)

Here for it All (111,929) by Giovanni from USA Your post has me excited but even if it's true what difference would it make? Mariah could release the best song or best album she's ever made however the team she has and a majority her fans gone and not being a streaming artist how is she gonna top the charts? I will still support her regardless and still want her to make music but I feel her number one days are over. Mariah can still make what she wants but she should turn to gospel and sing for God. It would benefit her so much and keep her relevant. Hopefully "Jesus I do" makes it to number one and gets a Grammy nomination. I hope Gamma can make it happen. (Thursday 16 October 2025; 21:41)

Mariah's Insta Story (111,937) by Bobby A from United States I just found out Joseph Kahn is directing the annual "Its time" video this year. (Friday 17 October 2025; 06:03) this is a reply to message 111,933

Mariah's Insta Story (111,933) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Mariah just posted an image of the bridge in Brisbane defrosting. I am hoping that is some sort of cryptic clue hinting that she is going to bust out AIWFCIY at her Australian shows. I'm going in Melbourne next weekend and I can't wait. (Friday 17 October 2025; 01:55)

In Your Feelings (111,932) by Bobby A from United States I am obsessed with In Your Feelings now. It is still going strong on the Urban AC Mediabase chart at #38. I didn't like the la da da da bridge part three weeks ago, but today I think it adds so beautifully MC's signature touch of humming the melody. I can't help but wonder what IYF would sound like during the Emotions era. Anyway, if Gamma is smart, they will release IYF mid-January with a Motown homage video with the Johnta Austin, Bryan-Michael Cox, Anderson .Paak and JD performing with MC as the Four Tops. A Jimmy Kimmel performance would be nice too three weeks later. (Friday 17 October 2025; 00:17)

Here For It All (111,924) by Bobby A from United States Gilles aka Cakes was the webmaster for MariahDaily. He posted mp3 files of MC's early Las Vegas shows Live at Pearl and some Charmbracelet tour dates during the website's final years. (Thursday 16 October 2025; 20:52) this is a reply to message 111,919

Here For It All (111,919) by Edward from USA If I'm not mistaken, they were called Mariah's 3: MCArchives, MariahDaily, and MariahHero. Eric probably remembers that better. [Webmaster: The third one was MariahConnection.] MariahHero was the first to go, the webmaster got upset because Mariah toured but skipped his country. Back then, that site was a goldmine for MP3s and media. Years later, MariahDaily shut down too. Their news section was amazing great, but their message board never took off because you couldn't speak freely or say anything remotely critical about Mariah, so it turned into a total snooze fest. Then we had this site, which had the best discography archive, singles, international releases, everything. Eric eventually stopped updating once Mariah stop releasing physical singles. I don't remember all the details, but I recall Eric used to release a magazine-style collection of Mariah photos until he got hit with a cease and desist, and that was that. MCArchives outlived them all because this board has always kept it real. Sure, we're a little dysfunctional at times, but there's always been a balance. Plenty of people have tried to turn this place into another "MariahDaily" echo chamber, but thankfully, they never succeeded. If it were for the "yass queens" or the oversensitive ones, we wouldn't be here. What's kept this board great is that we've always been able to have different opinions. Back when fans first started noticing Mariah's voice changing, and many were deep in denial, there were basically two groups here: the UK Gang and the US Gang. Moderation was minimal, so blood was constantly spilled on the board. Some fans were so blinded by devotion that even when Mariah's boobs finally came out of the closet became they were impossible to hide, they still swore they were so big due to her wearing push-up bras. Eventually most of those fans came to their senses when those push up bras didn't seem to work for their own bosoms. Those were the days. (Thursday 16 October 2025; 17:33)

Here for it All (111,910) by Bobby A from United States After listening to HFIA today, I couldn't help but compare it to what Charmbracelet was for MC. Charmbracelet came after a traumatic period in MC's life and the passing of her father, Alfred Roy Carey. Charmbracelet was the precursor album to one of the biggest comeback albums of all time. HFIA is MC's Charmbracelet in 2025. TEOM II is coming in 2027. I just know it will happen. (Thursday 16 October 2025; 06:56) this is a reply to message 111,899

Here for it All (111,899) by Dave from USA I personally loved the album. It's far too quick from start to finish, but she put out a good body of work. I still enjoyed Caution more as I think she stepped outside her box a bit with some of the sounds, but still a good album. The problem is she can't sell it live anymore like before. That means something now for an actual vocalist. Her appearances have most been dismal because she just stands there and seems so uninterested. Obviously, could be a factor of things that contribute to it, but we have seen her at ease with performances in the First Vision up close. We have seen her flawlessly sing Emotions while moving all over the place on MTV. We have seen her confidence singing Fantasy at MSG. Finally, we have seen her usage of choreography with Breakdown and Heartbreaker. She doesn't give off the same vibe now. Of course, the big thing is, she just can't slay vocally like she used to, and it seems like she's getting worse at times. Artists of her age just don't sell like they used to and for all the "Lambs" supposedly out here, they don't seem to show up when they need to during a release. When Cher is moving better now than she did in her prime, people juxtapose that again someone like Mariah who literally looks like she doesn't want to be there. I feel the whole diva thing feeds into it as well, where people feel maybe she's too good now to give it her all during this time in her long career. I'm sure that far from the actual truth, but it think that's part of it. Emotions was playing at work today, people singing or humming along, then one person asked "Have you heard how she sounds by herself? I heard AIWFCIY without a backing track and she sounded terrible... and yet she is still famous. I don't get it." I was shocked that she even questioned her longevity as if she was JLo, acting at singing. It was very eye opening to hear what regular folks think about her now. I'm still happy she put out a decent album, but I'm not sure if she will ever have a bonafide massive hit ever again. Which saddens me. (Wednesday 15 October 2025; 23:05)

Here For It All (111,873) by Bobby A from United States Wow. Caution had the same downward fall on the Billboard 200. My new friend says that downward fall is typical of independent album releases. There is only one explanation to go back to. HFIA didn't have a Top 10 hit on the Billboard 100 at the time of its release. I keep going back to this point. At least one JD or Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis song would have sat nicely on the album for a hit Hot 100 song. (Wednesday 15 October 2025; 01:02) this is a reply to message 111,871

Here For It All (111,871) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands In its second week, Here For It All drops 180 spots to number 187 on Billboard's Hot 200. (Wednesday 15 October 2025; 00:16)

2025 (111,864) by Tevin from USA Did we even have a song of the summer this year? (Tuesday 14 October 2025; 19:41)

LC vs. AIWFCIY (111,870) by Bobby A from United States Do you think the battle will happen this year? (Tuesday 14 October 2025; 23:32)

What’s next? (111,860) by Bobby A from United States In January or February would be perfect for the deluxe version to be released. I suspect the most of the uptempo and midtempo songs will receive a hip hop treatment. I would love for JD to remix IYF with a 90's sample. I am excited to see what happens in 2026. (Tuesday 14 October 2025; 12:43) this is a reply to message 111,856

What’s next? (111,856) by Shezz from Pk Word on the internet is that she's not giving up on HFIA and has some things planned, probably with the deluxe. We're just two weeks until Christmas season - I think she will transition to that soon and focus on getting back her Hot 100 crown (solo this time). She should ride that wave into the new year and then give HFIA another solid push in the new year with a digital deluxe release in January with some high profile collaborations / remixes on it like Paul McCartney and SZA that she was already working on. The album release and Mimi tour dates should have been planned better to give her enough time post release but no use crying over that now. She will give us a few more songs to love I'm sure soon enough. Then she should take the entire year off and relax. (Tuesday 14 October 2025; 05:29)
