Name: Robert-Anthony
Country: United States
I have been a Lamb since 1990. I know Mariah. I love her music. I breathe her music.
I miss albums (102,473) by Robert-Anthony from United States

I wish MC would jump on the EP trend that is happening right now. Newer artists like Coco Jones, Summer Walker, and Eric Bellinger are doing it and having great success. It would be perfect for MC to release a 7-track EP and have enormous success with it. Take for example, Coco Jones who has never released a "full album" in her career. Last year, she released her first major label EP on Def Jam Records. She is having enormous success with the deluxe edition of her EP with an additional 3 extra tracks. Her single, ICU is gaining radio airplay because of her performances on TV. She even made it onto a track on Babyface's Girls Night Out album. I wish MC would release an EP and just promote the heck out it on TV and see what happens.

Vanishing live in Sydney (Butterfly Tour) (102,461) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Tuesday 4 April 2023; 01:43)
Wow. This concert should have been released as a live album. Who knows maybe it will one day. I bet Sony Legacy Recordings has tons of recordings that they are just waiting to release with or without MC's permission.

Steve, try again. I am more than just a follower. I am Mimi's #1 Lamb since I heard VOF on the radio in 1990. Young Lambs like you came along after 2002. I am critical of MC on here, but it is out of concern for MC and how her career has been on a downward spiral since 2013. 1990 Lambs want her to reset and give us what we all know she's capable of doing.

Randy, that is great video compliation of MC's excuses. Watching it made realize that MC clearly has an identity self-image issue that has affected her ability to stop worrying about what people think about her. I can relate to this because I am extra sensitive about how people perceive me. Rosie assured her each time, but she still couldn't accept her sincere praises of her performances. Looking In, I Am Free, Close My Eyes, Outside, Fly Like A Bird, Camouflage, and Potrait all tell the story of MC's identity self-image issue. Losing her voice has only made it worse for MC.

I think that we are all frustrated that MC16 has not been released and she seems to have lost her beautiful gift. Listening to the introduction of Fantasy kind of brought tears to my eyes knowing that MC can't sing acapella anymore.

It's the same for 4Real 4Real for me sung in my Mariah voice. By the way, didn't MC say in interviews that she and BMC recorded a total of 4 songs during their Capri sessions?

Album delay (102,425) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Thursday 30 March 2023; 19:21)
We will know at the Lovers and Friends and L.A. Pride Fest performances if we are going to get a new album this year. If she sings Fantasy/Big Energy Remix and ABMB and no new songs, then we are not getting a new album this year. MC must be heartbroken about the deterioration of her voice.

Mariah vs MC (102,401) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Monday 27 March 2023; 01:35)
Like I said before this year, we will know for sure if Mariah will come back with the voice or MC will carry on with her vocal struggles and failed lip syncing. A soft retirement is imminent within 2-3 years though.

Lovers and Friends concert (102,397) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Saturday 25 March 2023; 12:55)
This event is going to determine very quickly what we can expect from MC this summer and fall. Will the performance show that her voice has improved? On the other hand, MC has to be getting ready to unleash multiple releases on her website in the fall. She is going to have a lot of competition this fall from Usher, Janet Jackson, Tori Kelly, and Brandy.

GTFO remixes (102,394) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Friday 24 March 2023; 22:57)
The official Sony Music, Epic and Legacy imprints are on the CD. It even has the 30-year custom Mariah Carey imprint. The CD was delivered to me in a plastic promo sleeve with a insert picture of one of the video scenes captured. Lettering on the side is in Spanish manufactured in Brasil. Let me do some research on the web. Maybe I have been bamboozled on Ebay.

#Beautiful (102,375) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Wednesday 22 March 2023; 15:22)
#Beautiful does not have that signature Mariah melody that we have been used to. It is the first time that she recorded a song that was already half-written with the chords and lyrics from two other songwriters - Miguel and Happy Perez. The remix showcases signature Mariah melody more.

RCA UK (102,367) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Tuesday 21 March 2023; 21:27)
Remember in the Fall of 2021 we were all surprised that Fall In Love At Christmas was released on RCA Inspiration and not Epic. Well, I found out today that MC is signed to RCA UK. I guess that RCA UK was all Sony Entertainment could offer MC since she had not submitted a follow up to Caution in a timely manner. Check it out by doing a Google search - Mariah Carey signs with RCA Records.

One more reality show (102,363) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Monday 20 March 2023; 18:12)
MC really hurt her chances of signing a new deal with Epic when in 2021 she was making her interview rounds criticizing the AR department and Jay Z for the instant grats promotion. For me, Melissa seemed liked a hands off manager and not really focusing on MC as the artist. And MC has lost the one thing that garnered her attention and money - her voice.

I wonder why MC mentions these projects and they never see the light of day. 90's MC would never keep the Lambs hanging on this long for a new album. Something has to be going on behind the scenes on the business side of her career. Record label issues? Management issues?

One more reality show (102,355) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Friday 17 March 2023; 12:03)
I thought today about one more reality show similar to the E! Network Uncut special that aired during the TEOM promotion period. It could be a real and authentic 5 episode series that focuses on MC's recording process with various producers, collaborators, and her reconnection with L.A. Reid in preparation for a new album release.

Lambs request (102,352) by Robert-Anthony from United States

I am getting very impatient. Lol. I just read today that Usher's new album will be on his own label with L.A. Reid. Maybe MC's new album will be on their new label. By the way, Usher's new single GLU drops this Friday.

Lambs request (102,346) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Monday 13 March 2023; 17:50)
I am just wondering what is this album MC talked about last year that Lambs have been asking her to release. Could it be a jazz or gospel album? Maybe a dance album? Billboard just announced that Warner Bros is launching a dance label. This is a genre that MC has had a successful track record for 30 years. It would probably sell better than a jazz or gospel.

I Still Believe (102,339) by Robert-Anthony from United States
(Saturday 11 March 2023; 14:23)
There is something special about MC's cover of I Still Believe. Listening to my ISB 12 inch brought me to post today.

1. It has to be MC's most real, carefree, and casual vocal ever. She sings with such ease without over using her higher register.
2. It was the combination of R&B and Pop that was highlight of MC's delivery.
3. If you have the CD maxi single or 12 inch versions, then you have something rare in your hands. In fact, there were five completely distinct versions released. The ISB remixes are by far one of MC's best remixes.
4. MC's cover of ISB was her way of paying tribute to her mentor and former boss, Brenda K. Starr.
5. Lastly, MC's use of the Pure Imagination interpolation was a brilliant and genius choice for the remix melody.

Stacey, your post got me thinking again. Why didn't MC release more remix albums during her height of her career? They would have done extremely well. We have only gotten one official remix album - The Remixes.

Great post. Maybe this could be a new TikTok video for wedding rehearsals that could garner support for Jive/RCA to allow MC and IDJ to release the remix/duet this summer.

I just found today my Fye Mix and Burn copy of #Beautiful remix with A$AP Rocky and Miguel. I like that remix better than the Jessy remix. One thing that we can say about MC and her remixes is that she started the multiple remix genre featuring other artists and rappers on a different version of a song. DFAU is another one that fits into that genre. MC doesn't get enough credit for starting certain aspects of remixes and vocal stacking.
