About Robert-Anthony from United States: I have been a Lamb since 1990. I know Mariah. I love her music. I breathe her music.

Political (105,145) by Robert-Anthony from United States At the end of the disagreements, I know we are one big happy family here. A Saturday hasn't been this hot since that Saturday of the first 2023 Christmas shows. (Sunday 28 January 2024; 00:45) this is a reply to message 105,141

Political (105,141) by Edward from USA Stacey, stop with the facts. Some people might self-combust here. Back to Mariah. (Saturday 27 January 2024; 23:31)

Who is Caution about? (105,143) by Robert-Anthony from United States I think Giving Me Life is about Derek Jeter or Mark Sudak. Both men gave her a happy relationship for a moment in time. Although, Mark Sudak was too behind the scenes probably for MC to married. Did she ever take him to Aspen? 8th Grade is about Ben Marguiles. The Distance is most definitely about Tanaka. Great topic, Matty. (Sunday 28 January 2024; 00:36) this is a reply to message 105,140

Who is Caution about? (105,140) by Stacey from USA Giving Me Life is my favorite song off Caution. I'm curious what your thoughts are on who or what the song is about. Thoughts? (Saturday 27 January 2024; 22:49)

If you think (105,142) by Robert-Anthony from United States Matty, that's it. Back to Mariah should be the title of MC16. We are getting ready to receive probably MC's most personal album to date. (Sunday 28 January 2024; 00:26) this is a reply to message 105,132

If you think (105,132) by Matty from Vancouver Canada If you think trans issues are equated to castration. Get educated. Castration has nothing to do with trans issues and if you think that somehow effects your "masculinity", say like putting on "colleague" vs. "perfume"; you need a long, deep view in the mirror (which will be hard and sad for you). Penises vs. vulva don't define a soul. If you choose to believe it does... ok. It's a discussion about social norms. It's not about genitals. Let's get back to Mariah. (Saturday 27 January 2024; 22:10)

Next Friday (105,128) by Robert-Anthony from United States We will talking about the MB anniversary edition starting Thursday and Friday. I ordered both the vinyl and CD sets. I am looking forward to hearing the Proctor Theater concert on CD the most. (Saturday 27 January 2024; 21:01)

Article: Mariah shows off physique in sparkling "swimwear" (105,120) by Robert-Anthony from United States It just came to me that MC is recording an album that she has always wanted to make. I hopeful that it will be a summer release. (Saturday 27 January 2024; 02:40) this is a reply to message 105,119

Article: Mariah shows off physique in sparkling "swimwear" (105,119) by Libra Lamb from USA I think Mariah should keep things secretive for now. I don't want to know who she's working with because I want no expectations whatsoever. I just hope the next album knocks my socks off. As far as the "woke" topic, I will just have to let it go. There's no reasoning with people who are incapable of putting themselves in others' shoes or lack empathy altogether. Besides, you can't tell them nothing if they already know everything. (Friday 26 January 2024; 23:38)

Article: Mariah shows off physique in sparkling "swimwear" (105,114) by Robert-Anthony from United States Today's topics would fit right into Sociology 101 and Contemporary Social Issues. Lol. What about MC's lack of transparency about who she is collaborating with for MC16? It's Friday everyone. Let's chill with your favorite adult drink. (Friday 26 January 2024; 20:20) this is a reply to message 105,113

Article: Mariah shows off physique in sparkling "swimwear" (105,113) by Edward from USA Exactly, they have turned the community into a joke with their 20,000 pronuns and 100+ genders. When you can't define the word woman without using the word woman in the defnintion, you know our society is on its way to the toilet. When people now entertain reducing women to being chestfeeders, vagina havers, pregnant people, birthing people just to accommodate some and in the name of inclusion, you know we're effed up. When you have trans women with obviously bigger lungs, hearts and stronger physiques regardless of how long they've been on testosterone supressants, oblitarating women sports, we know misogyny is rampant, yet we're all grouped together with this madness. I love and respect women, and I'll be damned the day I refer to a woman as anything other than a woman. One can never reason with insanity, let alone meet insanity in the middle. The community had reached a very stable middle, until some wanted more and more and more. Now, trans women are not trans women, they are real women. I'm so glad people are starting to push back. (Friday 26 January 2024; 20:07)

Recording process (105,108) by Robert-Anthony from United States Didn't MC say in an inerview that she recorded like 22 songs for E=MC2? The 10 songs that she mentioned in November were just the ones she did with Daniel Moore. I know she is probably going to record about 20 more songs during the next 3 months. Muni Long's Made For Me made me think that she has to be working with JD too. Made For Me has MC wriiten all over it. (Friday 26 January 2024; 14:32)

Daydream era - unknown performance (105,101) by Robert-Anthony from United States Right. I can't understand why MC being so secretive this time around. She didn't post any studio pics during the recording of Caution. We would have never known that she was working with Poo Bear if had he not said anything. I just wonder during the recording of the early stages of Caution if she regretted mentioning wanting to work with The Weekend after their conversation. It seemed like he never took her serious enough to make things happen. I think that pissed MC off knowing that she publicly said she wanted to work with him. He seems really arrogant to be around. He never gives any interviews. He broke Selena's heart. His Superbowl half-time show was a hot mess and boring. I don't think MC and The Weekend would have any fun in the studio to create anything. Can't you tell I am a fan of the The Weekend? (Friday 26 January 2024; 01:49) this is a reply to message 105,100

Daydream era - unknown performance (105,100) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter A Sza and Mariah collab would indeed be dreamy. I'm all here for it. Damn Mariah give us something to let us know you're gearing up for a return to form. (Thursday 25 January 2024; 23:43)

Daydream era - unknown performance (105,099) by Robert-Anthony from United States I want another Babyface collaboration. He co-wrote Sza's monster hit, Snooze. We need another Babyface collaboration and a Sza feature. (Thursday 25 January 2024; 23:27) this is a reply to message 105,096

Daydream era - unknown performance (105,096) by Billy from Greece If we should talk about rarities, where is this performance from? I'm referring to 0:03, where she's wearing a strapless dress that I've only see one photograph of over the years, but I don't remember the date it is from. (Thursday 25 January 2024; 21:28)

Quantity vs quality (105,082) by Robert-Anthony from United States 6/10 quality type of album is going to be what puts MC back on top. Back to back Top 5 hits on the new album would put a smile on many of our faces. It could lead to a deluxe edition being released with 2-3 new tracks. Something tells me that we are in for something better than Caution and MIAM. MC is being really quiet about who she is working with this time. Who knows we may get a David Guetta dance track or a Ryan Tedder power ballad. Those two are on my wish list. (Thursday 25 January 2024; 10:54) this is a reply to message 105,080

Quantity vs quality (105,080) by Tevin from USA Would you rather have a rated 6/10 Mariah album with one or two big hits (top 10 or better on Billboard) or a solid 9/10 album (because nothing will beat the perfection of Daydream) with no popular hit singles (doesn't hit the top 40 on Billboard)? Of course I'm hoping we get a solid quality album with hits, but I'm curious to hear what you all pick. (Thursday 25 January 2024; 04:49)

Starboy (105,067) by Robert-Anthony from United States Please, no songs on MC16 should sound like Starboy or any The Weekend song. MC should focus on recreating the sound of Butterfly's ballads like My All, Fourth of July, Close My Eyes and Whenever You Call. These are the type of songs that will make radio play MC again. Radio programmers laughed at Save The Day. It was just a horrible idea to include Lauren Hill on the song. GTFO was a hot track, but didn't stick because no one believed MC talked like that to her man. Just mentioning a couple of songs in the futuristic style of Starboy that didn't do anything for MC's career. I believe she gotten the memo this time after Caution was rushed, MIAM had some less than flattering vocal moments, and Memoirs underperformed because L.A. Reid botched the promotional rollout and remix album plans. (Wednesday 24 January 2024; 11:12) this is a reply to message 105,064

Starboy (105,064) by Jamie from UK Yes I heard it. I hate AI and shouldn't be entertaining it in the music industry to this level. I think Mariah needs to step away from this type of sound now and get back to pop/ballads. (Wednesday 24 January 2024; 09:38)

This performance (105,058) by Robert-Anthony from United States I don't remember this backing track fail of WBT on Good Morning America. Wow, that look at the end said somebody is going to get it. (Wednesday 24 January 2024; 01:06)

Article: Mariah shows off physique in sparkling "swimwear" (105,053) by Robert-Anthony from United States Yes, it looks like she had some type of cosmetic procedure done last year. The way she looked December 2022 to July 2023 clearly shows that the diferrent look is more than spending 6 months working hard in the gym. Whatever MC did, the weight loss helped to get 70% of her voice back. (Tuesday 23 January 2024; 08:54) this is a reply to message 105,051

Article: Mariah shows off physique in sparkling "swimwear" (105,051) by Zachariah from Croatia Is it me or are her breasts smaller now? I noticed that also in a few pics before. (Tuesday 23 January 2024; 08:09)

Insider account (105,044) by Robert-Anthony from United States Obsessed was her last huge upbeat song. It might have done better on the Hot 100 if Gucci Mane was not on the remix. MC should have chosen Drake for the original mix. Also, something tells me MC will have multiple gospel songs on MC16. (Monday 22 January 2024; 12:55) this is a reply to message 105,042

Insider account (105,042) by Pedro from Brazil I think MC decided to go into a more upbeat sound this time because "Obsessed" has recently become her most streamed song daily on Spotify, sometimes only behind WBT by a few streams. (Monday 22 January 2024; 02:30)

Insider account (105,041) by Robert-Anthony from United States This is great information. Caution was kind of bland and not upbeat to me. I wonder if she is remaking Honey or using it as a sample. Maybe Mary J. Blige's Still Believe in Love inspired MC. It has a hot sample by 70's R&B group Mtume. I could see MC taking the original samples and having a hot young producer of today like Bizness Boi (Chris Brown's Press Me) work his magic. I am really excited that she is trying to do something different for MC16. Mimi will be back on top in 2024. (Sunday 21 January 2024; 22:47) this is a reply to message 105,039

Insider account (105,039) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So after y'all brought up the accuracy of the insider account I went and looked at some post and excitement has peaked (I hope we get all of these). 1) The new sound of the album being more happy and up beat like TMB, Honey, SIO etc. 2) Mariah working with a bunch of top producers. 3) Mariah remaking one of her #1 songs or using it as a sample on a new song. No one spices up samples like Mariah does so I am intrigued, what song do y'all think it is? 4) The Butterfly Lounge still being a thing and including new and legendary artists. 5) A song with an acapella/piano intro and then breaking into another rhythm. 6) A possible orchestral project and writing for a movie soundtrack. 7) Mariah with a k-pop artist or group. (Sunday 21 January 2024; 20:14)

Andrew / Mimi L. (105,040) by Robert-Anthony from United States Thank you Mimi and Sheez. We all want one thing this year: a new album. (Sunday 21 January 2024; 22:31) this is a reply to message 105,037

Andrew / Mimi L. (105,037) by Shezz from Pk I think Pedro meant to say that the "style of music" of the album is similar to that of E=MC2 according to the prediction account, not that the album is called "musical style". Apparently she has also filmed all her recording sessions as well. And yes, we are all going through our own battles that does not make someone or allow them to behave like that. Robert Anthony you cannot let someone like him fill you with self doubts. You are an amazing, intelligent person with a very beautiful soul. (Sunday 21 January 2024; 18:27)

Andrew (105,033) by Robert-Anthony from United States I remember that Andrew said back in November or December that he was taking care of his mother and she was getting to him. It's not easy having to take care of your parents. I pray that things get better for Andrew. When he started saying that I didn't have much intelligence in my head or I was thinking too much, that is what hurt the most. My mother enrolled my sisters in the best of schools, but she did seem care not to send me to low performing schools. So, that's why I enrolled in the top universities in Tennessee when I became an adult. (Sunday 21 January 2024; 14:32) this is a reply to message 105,032

Andrew (105,032) by Jamie from UK I could tell something was wrong with his over the response to my post which was clearly a jolt. I don't condone hate or bullying but I hope he gets the help he needs as something isn't right with him. He's obviously in a dark place at the moment and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. (Sunday 21 January 2024; 09:23)

Music Box 30th anniversary (105,028) by Robert-Anthony from United States Pre-orders should start shipping by the end of the week for February 1st. Amazon orders are usually the first to get shipped out before MC's store orders. Let the board know when you get your order. (Sunday 21 January 2024; 02:18)

New projects (105,024) by Robert-Anthony from United States Lol. I wrote a huge response as to why I hope The-Dream amd Tricky Stewart should get 3-4 songs on the new album. My finger hit the square icon on my cellphone and my post disappeared before I could hit submit. I didn't get the "Thank you for posting message." Basically, I said that his signature sound has evolved from 2009 and you can't tell that it is a The-Dream song nowadays when you hear it on the radio. (Saturday 20 January 2024; 23:58) this is a reply to message 105,022

New projects (105,022) by Pedro from Brazil According to a Twitter account that is supposedly an insider, Mariah's lead single will arrive between mid-February and May, the album musical style will be similar to E=MC2 and will include recordings from the studio sessions. The music video has been already filmed. Well, I don't know about the overall accuracy of this account, but every since I've been following it they were right about everything they leaked. They knew about Ariana's imminent comeback, video, album title and imagery long before it was released as well as other artists, so I hope they'll be right about MC too. (Saturday 20 January 2024; 22:57)

Second hand (105,023) by Robert-Anthony from United States Check it out if you ever get to the U.S. I lived there for 3 years after my first time in Atlanta from 2007 to 2011. (Saturday 20 January 2024; 23:24) this is a reply to message 105,021

Second hand (105,021) by MusicfanJ from Germany I would love to travel to the USA one day. Are you from Nashville? I love travelling in general. The place sounds good for a collector. 25 cents for a maxi single, best price. To buy second hand is really fun and good for the wallet. I started to buy used dvd's and cd's on Amazon Marketplace, the items were always in good condition. But if you're at a place where you can browse and a have a little conversation, that's even better for sure. (Saturday 20 January 2024; 17:32)

New projects (105,019) by Robert-Anthony from United States That's a possibility. However, I don't think Mimi is going to want to compete with Ariana, Dua Lipa, Usher, and Justin Timberlake during the 1st quarter. I think a May to August release is probably what she is planning for. We have to get a management and new label annoucement before anything new is released. (Saturday 20 January 2024; 15:58) this is a reply to message 105,018

New projects (105,018) by Zachariah from Croatia I think by the end of March or maybe Valentines Day. (Saturday 20 January 2024; 14:35)

Andrew (105,012) by Robert-Anthony from United States I could tell he was in an off mindset this week by some of his posts about Kim Kardashian and Nick Cannon. (Friday 19 January 2024; 21:32) this is a reply to message 105,007

Andrew (105,007) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wow speechless, but not surprised. We all are Mariah fans and sometimes we have strong feelings and we may not agree with each other and may even have strong debates, but it should never reach to the point of us calling each other names. When something like this happens, it just makes you feel like this isn't a safe space at all and that's why at times I just disappear for months at a time, but I do enjoy reading the other posters here and I am very grateful for Eric taking the time everyday to let us voice our opinions, that's why I'm always back. (Friday 19 January 2024; 15:13)

Randy's Right To Dream (105,003) by Robert-Anthony from United States I played it today because of the Willie Nelson influenced chorus, the guitar lick and missing Randy's posts. Where are you Randy? Please come out of your sabactical at MVC. (Andrew let your whereabouts out of the bag.) (Friday 19 January 2024; 02:07)

Dating (105,001) by Robert-Anthony from United States If you ever get to the U.S and travel to Nashville, Tennessee, checkout McKays Used Books, CDs, and DVD's, etc. If you are looking for anything, they will have it because the locals sell their unwanted items for cash or credit. They mark down scratched CDs to 25 cents. I found Britney's Toxic maxi single for 25 cents. That's how I built up my collection. You may even start a conversation with an old fellow looking for a Charlie Daniels or George Jones CD. Lol. (Thursday 18 January 2024; 21:00) this is a reply to message 105,000

Dating (105,000) by MusicfanJ from Germany I still buy cd's, books, dvd's and blu rays. I love it. I will never stop to collect real items. It's fun. Hunters and collectors as they say. (Thursday 18 January 2024; 19:53)

Dating (104,991) by Robert-Anthony from United States Yeah, I don't like this cold weather either. Something seems weird about this January. Trump in the news again, arctic weather conditions, and the last season of Bob Hearts Abishola is just weeks away are making for a bleak January. Remember when L.A.Reid surprisingly sent ILT to radio before the official release date of January 25, 2005. That was a fun start to January 2005. ILT gave me hope for MC's next album. I was there at Spin Street on 01/25/05 buying the CD single. Do you remember that format? (Thursday 18 January 2024; 03:17) this is a reply to message 104,989

Dating (104,989) by Stacey from USA Seriously, I struggle with January too. It's cold and yeah bleak. Maybe Angels Cry is on his playlist too. (Thursday 18 January 2024; 01:35)
