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

Everything Fades Away (113,951) by Bobby A from United States MC is missing a real business team. She hasn't had that type of team around her since Memoirs. Wouldn't it be a shocker if Scooter Braun took over as MC's manager and her career reaches new career highs six months prior to releasing MC17? I believe Scooter Braun would be an unlikely choice for a manager, but a necessary one. (Thursday 11 June 2026; 14:31) this is a reply to message 113,949

Everything Fades Away (113,949) by Lainsky from Philippines Yes, I used her Music Box album filler song to describe the current status of our queen's glamorous life. Come on, lambs. You cannot expect her to be the '90s Mariah. She's way past that. It's already written in history. Her glittery music career is taking its natural course. The peaks and valleys, and another set of peaks and valleys, had happened already. I am not saying she may not peak again. She may, but also may not, depending on her choices and the public's. However, let's face the hard reality that she's slowly fading away, at least the music she's putting out there recently. Everything fades like Aretha, Whitney, Janet, Madonna, and even Celine, Britney, and Christina A. They are no longer the singers they used to be, and neither is Mariah Carey. We can only hope for and pray for another peak, but we can also choose to be truthful, be happy, and content with the contribution she already made in the industry, the history she has written, and enjoy the songs and albums she worked really hard to put out there for us to enjoy forever. Mariah can still do what she does to stay relevant. She was born to do it. However, we may put our expectations realistically. Her voice can never be the same. She's effing 57 years old and not 27, may I remind everyone? And singers can still sing in their old age, but not the way they sounded when they were young. Our speaking voice naturally loses its strength, much like the singing voice. It's a hard truth that we all need to accept instead of being disillusioned about her voice and singing career. Whether we like it or not, her light gradually dims, and she can only extend this before it completely fades, depending on the choices she makes in life. Everything eventually fades away.

MC 2017? (113,947) by Bobby A from United States We are certainly divided on the board about MC's career and her ability to produce another album. I don't think we should write MC off just yet. (Wednesday 10 June 2026; 22:39) this is a reply to message 113,942

MC 2017? (113,942) by Lara from Middle East I agree. She lost her spark. Her voice seems seriously damaged. When she does appearances she seems frozen, probably from her medications but she'll only leave us speculating. She likes to remind people she's a songwriter but imagine having a lyric insert like the old albums, Caution and HFIA wouldn't stand a candle to her previous works. Her attitude of ensemble and make up and all the glamour and glitz doesn't help, people want someone relatable. I miss her girl next door days, even the Honey and TEOM days she had that kind vibe that I cannot find in any recent video. Something drastically changed and she doesn't want to share it. Unless she was always that shallow silicone Barbie and was showed the other way at her beginnings? That is so hard to believe. Anyway all this won't matter, she made it and she's enjoying it, I just hope she's happy where she is now. (Wednesday 10 June 2026; 16:12)

MC 2017? (113,936) by Bobby A from United States Maybe you will feel differently when the Glitter anniversary album is released and you see how focused MC has been in the studio this year. If MC2017 is not bigger than Caution and HFIA combined, I will stop getting excited about another MC album. (Tuesday 9 June 2026; 20:06) this is a reply to message 113,935

MC 2017? (113,935) by nancy from Switzerland I am not sure about MC 2017. As long she keeps holding the following attitude: I think Ive done enough, and I don't acknowledge time, there will be difficulties to get things done. And collaborators more likely abandon her after a specific time. I also see problems with her personality. This air of superiority that she has with other ladies in the business. Muni Long, Tory Kelly. The "I don't know her" nonsense is getting ridiculous. The Eminem feud. Other artists like Patty Labelle, Chaka Khan don't see themselves as divas. They see themselves as singers. "In another class from those ladies" is another statement from Mariah that shows her lacking of motivation. I know it is only a song. But a little truth could be in those lyrics. Celine Dion starts again and she has a chronic illness. But I see a world of motivation, sincerity, love and hope in her eyes. In MC s eyes I see LV, Gucci, Nobu and halfhearted Christmas non live performances. Sorry for that but this is my opinion. And there are a lot of people around me that say she is so lazy and ask me if I still stick to Mariah. And that makes me sad. Because I know she is one of the biggest stars. (Tuesday 9 June 2026; 18:02)

Article: Mariah Carey and Anderson .Paak grab dinner at Nobu in Malibu (113,934) by Bobby A from United States I hope Anderson .Paak is giving MC some guidance on how to get back to the core sound of her first ten albums. I feel going back to her core sound would bring her career full circle. MC17 might be her last chance for another Grammy. (Tuesday 9 June 2026; 13:43)

Glitter anniversary (113,932) by Bobby A from United States We should get detailed anniversary news some time in July. This is how she gifted us for the Music Box anniversary. I think we were all shocked MC crafted such a great anniversary collection. (Sunday 7 June 2026; 18:20) this is a reply to message 113,930

Glitter anniversary (113,930) by Lainsky from Philippines We could only hope for. It would be nice if Mariah would drop something new for Glitter. I mean, I truly love this album. (Sunday 7 June 2026; 06:02)

Death Becomes Her (113,927) by Bobby A from United States MC might look sad for a lot of reasons that we can only speculate here. I believe she is being hard on herself for the lack of a top 15 or better Hot 100 song. Do you remember how happy she looked when TMB and #Beautiful were riding the charts? I hope what she is working on in the studio for MC17 will give her a Hot 100 hit song again. MC wants it one more time for sure. This is just my two cents this weekend because I want MC back on top again. Lol. (Sunday 7 June 2026; 00:59) this is a reply to message 113,926

Death Becomes Her (113,926) by TJ from Norway Looking at those pictures of MC in the white dress, makes me a little sad. When I was younger, I hoped that she would age with grace and not fall into this plastic fantastic world of celebrities. Yes, she looks "youthful", but it is not her face anymore. It's like looking at a completely different person, when you compare her 1992 face and now. It looks sad, hurt and soulless. Anyone seen the movie Death Becomes Her? (Saturday 6 June 2026; 09:02)

Glitter anniversary (113,924) by Bobby A from United States Do you think MC is creating a Glitter anniversary album unlike any of her other anniversary albums? This is the first time that I can't even predict what she may include with anniversary release. I just know that she never included any previous producers to help her with creating her previous anniversary albums. (Saturday 6 June 2026; 01:11)

Article: Kris Jenner and Mariah Carey go glam for dinner at Giorgio Baldi (113,917) by Bobby A from United States MC needs someone who will stick by her side through it all. She may see Kris as a motherly figure who understands heartbreak and being a public figure. (Friday 5 June 2026; 03:31) this is a reply to message 113,916

Article: Kris Jenner and Mariah Carey go glam for dinner at Giorgio Baldi (113,916) by Lambi from USA They're neighbors in Calabasas. Kris was one of the people Mariah sent her book to. We can assume she's aware of MC's lack of family support growing up and so I actually appreciated when she rallied the whole entire Kardashian clan to see a Christmas show. Kris' own words: "I'm so blessed and grateful for our friendship." We'll probably just leave it at that. They seem sweet and they really show up for you. (Friday 5 June 2026; 00:28)

Meds / Andrea (113,909) by Bobby A from United States MC seems to be still suffering from the affects of her 2013 injury. She dislocated her shoulder, right? (Tuesday 2 June 2026; 21:29) this is a reply to message 113,906

Meds / Andrea (113,906) by Giovanni from USA I'm so over Mariah being doped up on the meds, it's so sad and cringe. No other artist or celebrity is as robotic and controlled as she is. I mean if that's what it takes to contain her bipolar disorder it's not worth it. She is not even the same Mariah 6 years ago. Also that Andrea woman that is always with her needs to chill. I get that she's doing her job and is earning her paycheck but when I saw a clip of Mariah talking with Kim K she couldn't even have a conversation because Andrea popped up and was giving the hint to Mariah to move along. Is she with her 24/7? Does anyone else agree with me? (Tuesday 2 June 2026; 12:49)

Petal collaboration (113,900) by Bobby A from United States I am just hopeful for it. Lighty, what message of mine last year did I lose my creditability with you? Just joking, but you have been calling me out a lot lately. I don't make crazy predictions like I did during the Memoirs and MIAM eras. Lol. I ponder over my posts now before I hit the submit button. (Tuesday 2 June 2026; 00:34) this is a reply to message 113,899

Petal collaboration (113,899) by Lighty from China A direct tribute to MC or a collaboration doesn't automatically make it a hit though. (Monday 1 June 2026; 12:46)

Petal collaboration (113,898) by Bobby A from United States Since Ariana's new single is about her fans, I am hoping the second single is a direct tribute to MC or a collaboration. It only makes sense in my opinion for hit second single. Also, pop radio needs a certified pop hit this summer. There hasn't been one at all this year. (Monday 1 June 2026; 02:27)

Article: Mariah Carey to take Christmastime special international (113,890) by Bobby A from United States I think the issue is that we want MC to have a couple of pop and R&B songs as hits during the year before AIWFCIY takes over radio in November and December. (Saturday 30 May 2026; 02:30) this is a reply to message 113,889

Article: Mariah Carey to take Christmastime special international (113,889) by Zachariah from Croatia If an artist has one song that returns to No. 1 globally every single year for decades, that's not irrelevance - that's cultural permanence. Most artists would love to have one song with that level of longevity. Mariah has an entire career plus the biggest modern Christmas song. Being relevant every December for 30+ years is still being relevant. (Friday 29 May 2026; 18:46)

Deep cuts (113,872) by Bobby A from United States I need a CD of these 12 deep cuts for my 4th of July road trip. Can someone figure out why these songs are listed this way? It is MC's story that has a beginning, middle, and ending. 1. Babydoll 2. Bliss 3. Standing O 4. Thanx 4 Nothin 5. Fourth of July 6. Subtle Invitation 7. Crybaby ft. Snoop Dogg 8. How Much ft. Usher 9. You Don't Know What To Do ft. Wale 10. Love Story 11. 8th Grade 12. One Mo Gen (Thursday 28 May 2026; 01:53)

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,867) by Bobby A from United States Syed, I like how you are possibly starting a new trend by responding to various board members within one message. It is going to be a great summer with you here. I am looking forward to several MC reveals like whether MC will join Ariana on Petal for a song, when MC will drop the Glitter anniversary presale website and partnerships and will the Glitter anniversary album rival the Music Box anniversary album.

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,864) by Syed from UK Usually I'd be replying to everyone individually but I don't want to clog up the feed and detract from what's most important, so I'll say my thankyou's to everyone here if that's ok. Firstly Lambi. Thank you so much for this, you've put a smile on my face. I was reading some of your recent previous posts earlier and was thinking how wonderfully you write, and in depth. I look forward to reading more of your posts in the future. Chicago Lamb, really appreciate your thoughtful message. Thank you. Lighty, my apologies, I got confused, thinking your message was for me. Thank you for clarifying and for the welcome. Lainsky, I was just remembering my love for Manila (I was briefly there in 2023) when your message popped up. (Monday 25 May 2026; 21:21)

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,866) by Bobby A from United States You're welcome Syed. I feel MC knows that the anniversary release of Glitter with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis at helm could be the prelude to MC17 being her second comeback. The look and style MC gave the world at the Gucci event should be what MC goes for MC17. She should lose the gowns and heels for a more grown and sexy album cover for MC17. Why not? Cher did it in 1998 with Believe. Remember how the Believe album and Cher's beauty relaunced her career. (Tuesday 26 May 2026; 04:52) this is a reply to message 113,853

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,853) by Syed from UK Thank you so much Bobby. Glad to be here. I've read that 20-30 songs were recorded for Glitter that didn't make the final cut, and I'm excited to see which of these (if any) will be part of the Glitter 25th anniversary edition. Fingers crossed at least some of them will. (Sunday 24 May 2026; 12:58)

Lead The Way (113,856) by Bobby A from United States Why do you think MC was able to sing like this during the recording of Lead The Way? (Monday 25 May 2026; 00:28)

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,851) by Bobby A from United States Welcome to the MCA family, Syed. You have joined the family at the perfect time. MC is preparing the Glitter anniversary album for September. (Sunday 24 May 2026; 04:20) this is a reply to message 113,849

What a breath of fresh air MCA is (113,849) by Syed from UK Hey everyone. I never knew about this site until today. I can't begin to tell you how refreshing it is to see actual conversations about our queen as opposed to an endless barrage of GIF's and emoji's under every Mariah post on Facebook, Insta, etc. And well articulated conversations - at that. I might not completely agree with every comment I've read, I think 1 or 2 border on overly critical, but it's good to see a diverse mixture of opinions from Lambs, without overt censorship. I agree with some of the viewpoints here that Mariah increasingly does not seem like her usual self these days. It may be her condition, a side effect of medication, or past (and recent) trauma resurfacing, a combination of all the above, or... something unrelated. As Lambs, the best thing we can do is to support Mariah in any we we can. Because that's what she did for us through countless songs such as: Hero, Can't take that away, Make it happen, and so many others. We also need to overlook any behaviors we might not agree with because A) It's hard to trust anything you see online anymore (thanks AI) and media never shows us the true picture, only a distorted version that "sells" better. And B) We are not in her shoes, as much as we may think we know her, we only know her through the lens of the media, mostly. What she may be going through or battling internally and how they might manifest outwardly are things we need to be mindful of. Just be kind. As she has always been to us. What do I feel could help? Well... if I had a magic wand I'd whisk Mariah away to a place where she could spend some time being in touch with nature, walk down a street without being recognized, and feel genuine excitement reconnecting with the simple things in life. It may not solve everything but I could literally guarantee that she'd feel a positive difference. Call it intuition (I share a lot of uncanny coincidences with Mariah) or just my observation of Mariah over the years and knowing the person she is beneath the exterior. About me: - Lamb since 1993 - when I first heard Dreamlover in a clothes store. - I can confidently say I wouldn't be where I am today, without her music to help me through so many rough times. - Creator of the "40 Hidden Mariah songs challenge" which is a tribute to Mimi plus fun Easter Egg hunt for the Lambily, you can catch it here if you'd like to try solving it. - Recorded and released my own song in 2 languages based on a wish to "pay forward" what Mariah's music did for me, with a song that gives others hope. Took me just 20 years to make it happen. Have a great weekend everyone and again really nice to meet you all. (Saturday 23 May 2026; 19:26)

Article: Mariah Carey turns out for Gucci Cruise 2027 show (113,829) by Bobby A from United States TEOM era Mariah is back. I am sure being in the studio has ignited something in MC. Let's hope that I am right. (Sunday 17 May 2026; 18:19) this is a reply to message 113,827

Article: Mariah Carey turns out for Gucci Cruise 2027 show (113,827) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands Wow. I adore this outfit. Mariah should be wearing this kind of clothes all the time. (Sunday 17 May 2026; 12:40)

Congratz to MC for topping the Gospel charts (113,809) by Bobby A from United States Jesus I Do has the potential to become as big as Shackles (Praise You) by Mary Mary. Urban AC spins are increasing everyday. We just need MC and the Clark Sisters to perform it live in June. (Wednesday 13 May 2026; 10:33) this is a reply to message 113,808

Congratz to MC for topping the Gospel charts (113,808) by Nikki from usa "Jesus I Do" is now the No. 1 song on Billboard Gospel Airplay. #Billboard: 05/16/2026 "Jesus I Do" Gospel Airplay: 1 (+2) Hot Gospel Songs: 15 (=) Congratulations Mariah Carey & The Clark Sisters.

Should MC release a part two album (113,793) by Bobby A from United States I think MC's recent meetings with Sylvia Rhone and Jimmy Jam and Terry is a huge sign that she is looking for guidance to ensure MC17 returns her to the top of the charts.

Should MC release a part two album (113,771) by Bobby A from United States I think MC's next album should be a part two to one of her biggest selling or Lambs' favorite albums from 2005-2018. I would love a Memoirs or Caution part two. The public excitement might be what MC's career needs to take the world back in time when her music made people say hmmm. I think Memoirs: The Final Chapter has a nice sound to it. (Monday 4 May 2026; 23:49)

Gamma (113,791) by Bobby A from United States Bill, you are hilarious. I needed that laugh today. You and me go back like babies with pacifiers. Lol. (Friday 8 May 2026; 03:03) this is a reply to message 113,788

Gamma (113,788) by Bill from the UK I would have been hilarious if Lambi went to all that trouble to get that job as Galatic Head of NDAs at Gamma and then Mariah went and quit lol. I'm just yanking your chain sweetie pie. (Thursday 7 May 2026; 21:35)

I wish MC would (113,790) by Bobby A from United States I wish MC would get back to hard hitting R&B songs like Ribbon, My One and Only, Get Your Number, Circles, It's Like That, and DFAU. I wouldn't mind another Tricky and The-Dream sole production album. I have been obsessed with Memoirs this week because of The-Dream's comments that MC was his most challenging experience in the studio. He clarified it was not meant to be shady, but in the context high-level meticulous studio work. The-Dream described MC perfectly in the studio doing what she does best. Here's to 2027 for MC17 to put MC back on top. I think she wants another 2005 TEOM era that shook the world. (Friday 8 May 2026; 02:33)

Mariah leaving Gamma (113,776) by Bobby A from United States MC seemed unhappy with Gamma earlier this year with no evidence of a real partnership that was promoted before HFIA dropped in September. MC's last straw was probably Larry Jackson saying no to releasing the HFIA deluxe. I feel like Gamma dropped the ball on Play This Song and In Your Feelings with their lack of promotion at radio and Valentine's Day TV ads. Both could have been bigger songs on the Hot 100. It is like Gamma poured all the money into the Type Dangerous video and didn't provide anymore money for other videos and promotion. We have been down this road before for the third time with another one album label. (Wednesday 6 May 2026; 11:44) this is a reply to message 113,775

Mariah leaving Gamma (113,775) by Philipp from Switzerland Nostradamus Insider posted on X (Twitter) that Mariah is leaving Gamma. Here's what they posted: "According to rumors, Mariah Carey is entering into an alliance with an important label in charge of distributing her material but she's retaining the rights to her art. The announcement must arrive prior to her next release. Glitter/SUD will be released under MARIAH. According to my sources, a Sony executive, Sylvia Rhone, has been in recent talks with Mariah Carey. Both have had several meetings recently. Also, Imran Majid, Island Records CEO, has had meetings with Carey and in fact, he has started following her recently." (Wednesday 6 May 2026; 09:19)

Brenda K on relationship with MC (113,772) by Bobby A from United States I think it has been all fun for her being in MC's "world" for a minute. I pretend all the time that was Twista in studio when MC recorded My One and Only. I bet Twista was in awe with MC during that recording night.
