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

It's time video (107,571) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC really out did herself this time. Someone has been taking dancing lessons. Lol. I have two questions after watching three times. Is that Terrence Trent D'arby's Sign My Name that MC and the sexy man were dancing to? Who is that sexy man in the video? (Friday 1 November 2024; 06:34)

Grunge/Rock album (107,570) by Robert-Anthony from United States Shezz, I suppose MC is being nice by giving excuses of what she is trying to do because of a possible external conflict with Sony/Legacy Recordings about its release. Sony executives probably don't want us to hear it. I feel Sony/Legacy Recordings has been holding back on releasing various new MC projects like new greatest hits and remix physical releases. The Essential Mariah Carey CD was the last greatest hits release. Also, how does the remix queen only have one remix release on CD? It seems like Sony/Legacy is being very cautious about what new MC releases are released. Could they be afraid that certain Mariah Carey releases won't sell that much to be worth releasing?

Grunge/Rock album (107,568) by Shezz from Pk Why does she keep saying she's "trying to get it out but doesn't know how"? Seems like there's more to it. First she told us she was collaborating with a younger artist on it (why does she need anyone on it we want to hear her voice on those songs?). Robert Anthony you want to chime in? You always have an interesting hopeful take with your Mariah theories. (Friday 1 November 2024; 02:16)

The new interview (107,567) by Robert-Anthony from United States I am excited too. Some BBC specials are shown on PBS here in the U.S. (Thursday 31 October 2024; 19:52) this is a reply to message 107,566

The new interview (107,566) by MusicfanJ from Germany That was really a good interview. It was nice to read. Best one since a long time. I also think "Miss you (most at Christmas time)" is one of the saddest. It's another classic and should get more attention. I love this song so much. Her answer with Happy Xmas (War is Over) is how I always feel too. I guess every human with a heart gets emotionally with it. I also can't wait for the alternative rock release. And the new album of course. I wish Mariah would get another Grammy, she doesn't need it, but it's so overdue. Maybe with the rock or jazz album. But for now I'm excited for the upcoming BBC special.

MC 30 media blitz (107,563) by Robert-Anthony from United States So tomorrow we are going to get some early Christmas presents. (Thursday 31 October 2024; 00:36) this is a reply to message 107,560

MC 30 media blitz (107,560) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha we love and demure and mindful queen. Very cutesy. (Wednesday 30 October 2024; 21:07)

Drew Barrymore Show (107,553) by Robert-Anthony from United States Every announcement has to be done on social media these days. I don't understand why. I said on MCA a few weeks ago that her it's time video this year will be her best one yet. I can't wait to see what MC does this year. (Monday 28 October 2024; 23:36) this is a reply to message 107,550

Drew Barrymore Show (107,550) by Shezz from Pk The website description says she'll talk about the tour and MC30 (mostly Drew will talk to her about her Christmas traditions I'm sure). Gone are the days when people make announcements on these shows RA. All done on social media now, though I'd love to be wrong and have her announce something substantial. I don't know why she didn't come on the November 1st show. Insider rumours on X say that she has a couple of big guest stars on her "It's tiiiiime" video this year, maybe that's why she's doing the 31st one since it's pre taped and she can't discuss the video.

Rare debut tri-fold (107,552) by Robert-Anthony from United States Yes. Love Takes Time is on the disc, but it just didn't make the tracklist for the cd packaging. My copy is rare in another way in that it has a "For Promotional Use" sticker covering the UPC barcode. I guess it was a copy sent to radio stations. (Monday 28 October 2024; 22:04) this is a reply to message 107,551

Rare debut tri-fold (107,551) by Jamie from UK Nice find. There's one on EBay for $108 and is an original pressing as it's missing [Love takes time] on the song list. Is this the one you found? (Monday 28 October 2024; 16:44)

Rare debut tri-fold (107,547) by Robert-Anthony from United States I was out shopping this weekend and found a rare debut tri-fold cd. Inside the cardboard tri-fold cd case are pictures, the tracklisting, and a two-fold picture of MC holding the microphone. Does anyone else have this rare CD? Also, this rare CD made me immediately think about Bill. MC's debut album is his favorite MC album. I purchased a Wal-Mart exclusive vinyl and shipped it to him. Bill was really serious about his disappointment with MC's lip syncing during her performances. He hasn't posted in nine months or more. Hopefully, he still reads posts on the board. We miss you, Blll. (Monday 28 October 2024; 00:40)

Drew Barrymore Show (107,546) by Robert-Anthony from United States This is great news. I don't think her visit to the show is just a random visit. Maybe MC will announce that there will be another CBS Christmas special this year and some other surprises. The Drew Barrymore Show is produced by CBS Media Ventures. In 2022, the Christmas special was a huge ratings winner for CBS. (Sunday 27 October 2024; 14:06) this is a reply to message 107,545

Drew Barrymore Show (107,545) by Shezz from Pk Mariah is on the 31st October show. That'll be fun. I hope she announces MC30 with the new song's release date soon. (Sunday 27 October 2024; 05:20)

Christmas show (107,543) by Robert-Anthony from United States I know you are excited. My decision day is tomorrow. I am super excited about the setlist MC released. (Friday 25 October 2024; 00:34) this is a reply to message 107,538

Christmas show (107,538) by Libra Lamb from USA I really hope you get to go. You can make it happen. I'm definitely ready. My voice will be surely gone by the end of that night from "singing" along. (Thursday 24 October 2024; 02:41)

Christmas show (107,537) by Robert-Anthony from United States I really want to see MC's Christmas show in Austin, Texas this year. There are still reasonable tickets still available. I might not get this opportunity ever again to see one of her Christmas shows. I am only hesitant about going because of the Sunday concert date and the horrible I-35 traffic in that part of Austin's university area. Libra Lamb are you ready? Who else has purchased tickets? (Thursday 24 October 2024; 00:40)

Next single has to hook them (107,532) by Robert-Anthony from United States Big Energy was missing something for me. It did not have enough of MC. Whatever she releases as the first single is going to have to be reminisce of Fantasy, Dreamlover, Heartbreaker, Honey or ABMB. The song has to hook the young people during the first five days of its release. (Sunday 20 October 2024; 19:17) this is a reply to message 107,531

Next single has to hook them (107,531) by Shezz from Pk I think Fantasy already had its revival moment with Big Energy. I doubt she'd go there again but reworking an old classic would be great. And stop limiting your posts RA. (Sunday 20 October 2024; 08:52)

Next single has to hook them (107,529) by Robert-Anthony from United States I have kept my word about scaling back my messages to only 2-3 messages per week. However, I had to make a post about this one. I was at my high school's football game and the crowd went crazy when Fantasy ft. O.B.D. played on the field. The young people today could make Fantasy a hit again in 2025 if MC remiangined it to a new sample for a stadium jam ft. Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne. MC has to hook these young people with one of her old songs if she is going catch radio's attention next year. Maybe Fantasy is the song that could do it. What are the Lambs' thoughts? (Sunday 20 October 2024; 00:27)

Podcast (107,527) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC seems to be feeling good about her life right now. She's more relaxed, funny, and ready for the holiday season. I have a feeling her next "It's time" video is going to be her best one yet. (Saturday 19 October 2024; 17:06) this is a reply to message 107,525

Podcast (107,525) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The podcast was a cute moment. The hosts were certified lambs and I think their love for Mariah kinda put Mariah at ease. Nowadays during interviews she's mostly bored or goes off tangent but this interview she was calm, checked in and answered properly. She seemed a little nervous almost trying to see if the hosts are actually genuine in their compliments but once she realized they were, she let her personality shine. The interviewers matched her humour (I think Mariah's humor is seriously underrated). Nothing ground breaking really came of the interview, I think we scared Mariah into constantly stating she's no longer going to say "soon" when it comes to releases because the fans get agitated. Mariah sounded really humble when they talked about her impact in shaping the music industry and genre blending. She really is a legend. It's crazy how she set so many trends and I think she doesn't get enough credit. It made me sad when she said she was more confident performing back in the day than she is now. Probably because she could rely more on her voice back then. She talks about working on new things and I wonder what it means, like are all previous projects scrapped, is she still working on previous projects? What I wouldn't do to know the insights haha. (Friday 18 October 2024; 18:24)

Someone's Ugly Daughter (107,524) by Robert-Anthony from United States It just may be MC's next Grammy award. Great things are coming in 2025. I just know it. (Friday 18 October 2024; 18:21) this is a reply to message 107,523

Someone's Ugly Daughter (107,523) by MusicfanJ from Germany I can't wait too. It's really special that Mariah recorded that type of music while she was on top and broke every record. The "Daydream princess" was rocking. I hope we will here something from the hidden songs soon. (Friday 18 October 2024; 13:32)

Liam Payne (107,519) by Robert-Anthony from United States RIP Liam Payne. I can't believe he is no longer here on earth. (Thursday 17 October 2024; 00:28)

WBT AMA's voice teacher critique (107,515) by Robert-Anthony from United States Jaron M. Legrair, a voice teacher, has been become very popular during past year with his YouTube video critiques. In his video, he breaks down MC's WBT performance and he gave a really good critique. We already knew MC is brilliant at reimagining her songs and Jaron picked up on that aspect during his critique. (Tuesday 15 October 2024; 02:02)

AMAs performance (107,513) by Robert-Anthony from United States Spot on, Mimi. Mariah isn't the only artist who receives a lot of criticism when she doesn't live up to what the industry praises her for. For example, Katy Perry's latest album is a far cry from her albums Roar and Prism. Pink [sic] has lost ability to write great catchy pop rock anthems that helped propel her career. Ed Sherran's [sic] last album was boring and lacked his catchy melodic pop gems that we have heard from him in the past. Beyonce stepped into country music without really thinking about the repercussions from the country music industry. There were more criticisms from male country singers than were anticipated. (Monday 14 October 2024; 04:41) this is a reply to message 107,512

AMAs performance (107,512) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think the problem lies in the fact that everyone and I mean everyone including industry big shots are always talking about how insane Mariah's vocals are and everyone really focuses on how her voice is unparalleled that she kinda feels like she can't make mistakes. We know Mariah is self conscious so she probably feels like people will think less of her if her voice isn't "perfect" and we've seen that happen too. The ridicule she faces everytime she makes mistakes and people declaring it "her voice is over", "she's not what she used to be" and all, I guess it gets to her because again Mariah lives for the validation. I mean this woman spent the last 30 years of her life determined to only be photographed from one side because someone told her in the 90s that that's her good side. Mariah's voice is her identity and I think she's not ready yet to modify it. I'm ok with that, she's been trying to sing more and more live. I do believe most of the AMA performance was live if not fully because she isn't also great at lip syncing so much ahah we've seen it be very visible in some concerts. All I want is new music Mariah, feed us lambs lol. (Sunday 13 October 2024; 01:53)

AMAs performance (107,510) by Robert-Anthony from United States In 2024, we have talked about MC lip syncing until the topic is making us all blue in the face. Lol. MC is going to do MC. There is not anything anyone can say or do that we will make her stop lip syncing. Let's go into 2025 optimistic about MC bringing something new. I really feel MC will own 2025. Maybe TEOM-Daydream 8.0 is on the way. We all know she has had 7 years to create some brilliant music. (Saturday 12 October 2024; 23:29) this is a reply to message 107,509

AMAs performance (107,509) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain I don't get confrontational easily, but I wouldn't like old evils to take over the message board again. The thing about lipping is just that it's so easy for me to see because I'm pretty observant and I also have a master's degree in Mariah. Being a real lamb takes up a lot of time and that's how I got my degree, you know? Me entiendes, colega? Lol. (Saturday 12 October 2024; 23:03)

AMAs performance (107,504) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC would be smart to release a triology set in 2025 that includes MC16 (Q2), a jazz or gospel album (Q3), and The Butterfly Lounge (Q4). Surely, she has enough recorded material for three releases next year. Maybe a trilogy title like: Love, Blessed, and Beautiful. Who cares if they are not platinum sellers in a Taylor Swift record breaking sales era. (Saturday 12 October 2024; 01:27) this is a reply to message 107,503

AMAs performance (107,503) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I kinda am hoping she's getting TEOM celebration out of the way this year so she can focus on new material next year. Wishful thinking haha. Another theory is that she's doing TEOM early because it's MC 35 next year. (Friday 11 October 2024; 21:00)

AMAs performance (107,500) by Robert-Anthony from United States I just want MC16 next year. (Friday 11 October 2024; 14:30) this is a reply to message 107,499

AMAs performance (107,499) by Shezz from Pk I personally don't like going down that rabbit hole anymore. It looked partly lipped but she looked great, worked on a new arrangement, everyone loved it - job well done, no need to over analyze it I think, on to Mariah season now. (Friday 11 October 2024; 06:54)

Merry Christmas 30 (107,490) by Robert-Anthony from United States Look again on X. She doesn't look cross eyed anymore. Her team edited the cover. I think MC looks gorgeous on the covers. (Thursday 10 October 2024; 04:34) this is a reply to message 107,489

Merry Christmas 30 (107,489) by Jamie from UK Just seen Mariah has posted about two physical singles on AIWFCIY with two new covers. The first one is cute but the second one she looks cross eyed. Not sure I’ll be buying these to be honest. I hope we get more surprises for MC30. (Wednesday 9 October 2024; 21:22)

Robert Anthony (107,488) by Robert-Anthony from United States Thank you, David. (Wednesday 9 October 2024; 13:54) this is a reply to message 107,475

Robert Anthony (107,475) by David from USA I come on this board often; I comment very rarely. When I do comment, it's usually to note the negativity and nastiness of Mariah's "fans" here. Robert is always positive and civil - and he's respectful to Mariah even when perhaps giving constructive criticism. We could all learn from him and, as far as his frequent posts, this board would be dead without him. (Tuesday 8 October 2024; 15:06)

AMAs (107,474) by Robert-Anthony from United States First, MC sounded and looked amazing last night. Second, I am not going anywhere anytime soon. However, I am going to scale back my posts until another fabulous Mimi moment like last night brings us back to get together in delight. I was clinging to MC's every note last night. I even heard those subtle transition notes on the second verse. (Tuesday 8 October 2024; 01:09) this is a reply to message 107,473

AMAs (107,473) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I rewatched the performance multiple times and it just warms my heart to see Mariah slowly but surely gaining her confidence back. I also loved the different arrangements she did in some parts of the song. How is this song almost 2 decades old but still gives people goosebumps? What a modern classic. Mariah looked like a true glamorous Hollywood diva. I'm so happy for her. She's been going through such a difficult time in the past few months and the fact that she's finding peace in her music, performance and fans is amazing to see. Not to mention the GP can't seem to get enough of her. She'll truly always be a queen. (Monday 7 October 2024; 21:23)

AMA's anticipation is high (107,455) by Robert-Anthony from United States Is that really the sentiment amongst the board members? Okay, I hear everyone loud and clear. Going forward, I will limit my posts. I don't want you to get to that point and you say "I don't know him." (Sunday 6 October 2024; 22:33) this is a reply to message 107,454

AMA's anticipation is high (107,454) by Edward from USA Robert-Anthony just tends to have a lot of feelings. When the board goes quiet, he panics and jumps in with a random topic just to keep the conversation alive. But don’t take him for granted, one of these days, he might get himself a boyfriend, and the frequency of his messages could drop to just four or five per day. Then you'll end up missing him. We love ourselves some Robert-Anthony. (Sunday 6 October 2024; 20:10)

AMA's anticipation is high (107,450) by Robert-Anthony from United States MC said during an E. News interview that she is starting her performance with an intro with DFAU and then will go into WBT. I am suspecting she will include ILT, IWYK, and end with a huge choir moment with FLB. (Sunday 6 October 2024; 14:31) this is a reply to message 107,448

AMA's anticipation is high (107,448) by Shezz from Pk Yes, I can't wait. So it looks like she is doing a medley. I am so happy she's rearranging them and being creative. That way even if it's not fully live at least it'll be something new with some effort behind it. I don't know if it's deliberate or not but all the performers seem to be old schoolers. Not one current pop artist. J Hud seems to be the youngest of the lot. I understand it's for their 50th show but all the nominees are current acts. Ps. I love love love Mariah's look for the AMA interviews. (Saturday 5 October 2024; 18:30)
