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

NII (112,757) by Bobby A from United States Nothing Is Impossible just needs one middle or high school choir director to have students perform it during a February school program for NII to go viral on social media. All other aspiring singers will follow suit with their own TikTok videos. Anyway, I trust that MC is going to give a grand performance at the opening Winter Olympics ceremonies.

NII (112,750) by Randy from USA I'd rather see this promoted, T. For those who didn't listen to me the first three hundred times I told this story, I had a visceral, emotional response to the song and the way she chose to sing it low. It's wonderful for the Olympics and I hope the public tik tok's it, it goes viral and becomes a number one. I have a Right To Dream. (Tuesday 23 December 2025; 17:08)

So which is it? (112,744) by Bobby A from United States Alexis dahling this particular lamb has been shadowing Blake during some strategic Denver Carrington board meetings. Lol. We all are just elated how MC keeps breaking all these records in her late 50s. What other legacy female artist is doing that? He has always been our chart information lamb.

So which is it? (112,741) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States For 10 months out of the year, the lambs constantly say that the charts don't matter as Mariah has nothing left to choose. So, why is it during November and December, all the lamb posts are chart updates? (Tuesday 23 December 2025; 03:14)

The queen stays the queen (112,738) by Bobby A from United States This is great news for MC. Nothing is impossible at all. I feel more chart success is about to happen with Nothing Is Impossible. Gamma is about to pour some money into this single release. (Tuesday 23 December 2025; 01:52) this is a reply to message 112,737

The queen stays the queen (112,737) by Edward from USA Billboard Hot 100 (December 27, 2025) #1 AIWFCIY - (21 weeks total at #1) #2 Jingle Bell Rock #3 Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree #4 Last Christmas #5 Santa Tell Me AIWFCIY is now the longest-charting Hot 100 hit by a woman in a lead role (78 weeks). Mariah also becomes the artist with the most cumulative weeks at #1 in Hot 100 history, 100 weeks total, with the closest competitor still 40 weeks behind. Decades later and still making history. The queen stays the queen? (Tuesday 23 December 2025; 00:40)

NII for the Olympics 2026 (112,731) by Bobby A from United States Furthermore, Nothing Is Impossible could really become a top 10 Hot 100 hit if Disclosure and Gorgon City remixed it and released on vinyl. (Sunday 21 December 2025; 23:05) this is a reply to message 112,728

NII for the Olympics 2026 (112,728) by Bobby A from United States At the opening ceremony, MC should do a huge vocal performance with Ricky Dillard's or Hezekiah Walker's choir singing an extended Nothing Is Impossible chorus moment with a Hero mash-up. (Sunday 21 December 2025; 00:04)

NII for the Olympics 2026 (112,724) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Come on Mariah and Gamma, take advantage of that and release Nothing Is Impossible. That song is perfect for that. Relase a high budget music video. Perform that song everywhere on tv like 2005 with We Belong Together. Bring back the glory of a 90's ballad like Vision of Love, My All with that song. Bye. (Saturday 20 December 2025; 12:24)

Nothing Is Impossible (112,726) by Bobby A from United States According to some recent X posts, it looks like Nothing is Impossible is going to be the next single. I guess it kind of makes sense since MC needs a song to perform at the February 6th Winter Olympics opening ceremony. Also, it was reported on X that DJ Snake and MC are about to collaborate again. (Saturday 20 December 2025; 16:59)

The demo tape (112,707) by Bobby A from United States It is a shame that Ben Marguilies' and MC's professional relationship ended after the demo tape. It would have been nice to see what they could have created for Emotions. (Tuesday 16 December 2025; 08:51) this is a reply to message 112,702

The demo tape (112,702) by Bill from the UK Yes and no. So, Mariah had her original demo tape (the one Tommy got his hands on at the party), that she put together pre-fame. For the longest time, the songs contained on it were Alone In Love, All In Your Mind, Someday, Vanishing and Do You Ever Wonder. That was according to "Her Story". This tape however seems to have another song (unreleased). That may well be Hypnotized, or another song entirely. When Mariah was signed to CBS (as it was back then), the process of putting an album together involves the artist producing several songs in demo format. These are presented to the executives who then "green light" the selection to go into recording/production, or go back to be revised and changed, or the direction changed etc. It may be that the demo Mariah referenced was the beta version of what would end up being her debut album. I guess we won't really ever know for certain. It just drives me mad that there are things like this out there that will likely forever remain a mystery. (Monday 15 December 2025; 21:05)

Here For It All Christmas show (112,684) by Bobby A from United States When MC is focused about giving a great performance, she shines. Last night's petformance was 10 stars. I loved the vocals and overall performances from everyone. (Sunday 14 December 2025; 18:01)

In Your Feelings (112,670) by Bobby A from United States The melody and lyrics are so Mariah Carey. I would love for Kelly Clarkson to perform it on her TV show. (Saturday 13 December 2025; 13:39) this is a reply to message 112,664

In Your Feelings (112,664) by Giovanni from USA I love it so much but I can't listen to it anymore cause her voice sounds bad. Music Box and Daydream Mariah would cringe if they heard that. Overall I still enjoy HFIA just wish it had at least one hit. In my opinion if MOAIA Mariah was singing "In your feelings" it would be more enjoyable and a potential hit. The lyrics and production is there it's just the fans are not. I think there's a lot of remaining fans who don't care if she has any more hits but for me I'd like her to at least tie The Beatles' record. It's time for Mariah to write with Bruno and give us the collaboration some of us have wanted for years. (Saturday 13 December 2025; 08:00)

Article: Mariah Carey's grunge album release date revealed (112,663) by Bobby A from United States If Sony markets it right with a network TV special, interviews, one single release, magazine features, clothing, and jewelry, then SUD could be a huge success. The second half is from July to December. Therefore, I bet Sony is planning a Black Friday release in 2026. The Lamb frenzy would be crazy at local record shops around the country. (Saturday 13 December 2025; 05:05) this is a reply to message 112,657

Article: Mariah Carey's grunge album release date revealed (112,657) by Bill from the UK Interesting development. If this is true, I'm looking forward to hearing this and seeing it released with Mariah's 1995 vocals. What a treat that would be. A delayed anniversary present for Daydream. (Friday 12 December 2025; 14:30)

Serious question (112,650) by Bobby A from United States Haha. I was wondering if somebody got it. (Thursday 11 December 2025; 06:42) this is a reply to message 112,648

Serious question (112,648) by Dove from United States Ha ha. It took me a minute to get the Keith Sweat reference. Then he sang it in my head. (Thursday 11 December 2025; 00:49)

Serious question (112,639) by Bobby A from United States Keith Sweat said nobody. Lol. I think he is right. Celine has never come close in her career because she is not a songwriter. Kelly Clarkson could have been if she didn't start her talk show. (Wednesday 10 December 2025; 11:28) this is a reply to message 112,638

Serious question (112,638) by Lambi from USA Who is actually Mariah's closest formidable competition in terms of being a complete singer-songwriter? Is there anyone who genuinely matches her combination of vocal prowess and songwriting talent? Who? (Wednesday 10 December 2025; 11:21)

2026 Plans for Here For It All? (112,620) by Bobby A from United States Edward, you brought up some valid points. I need to stop clicking on every link about MC in newsfeed. I read the article and then I start believe the author's opinion about MC. (Sunday 7 December 2025; 14:07) this is a reply to message 112,612

2026 Plans for Here For It All? (112,612) by Edward from USA Bobby A, sadly there's probably not going to be an "HFIA" Deluxe Edition. Outside of her hardcore fans, nobody seem to care about the album. Mariah and Gamma aren't about to keep throwing money at something that isn't giving anything back. At the end of the day, Gamma is a business. It was a joint version, and both parties did what they could. You wouldn't keep pouring water into a bottomless barrel expecting it to get full, would you? And the whole "Mariah's Christmas popularity is fading" thing? Not really. The economy is just trash right now. Everything is expensive, people are losing jobs, and most folks are just trying to survive the holidays, not spend on unnecessary things like flights and concert tickets. Competition is tough in Vegas when Mariah doesn't bring anything new to her shows. Even with all that, Mariah's still doing her thing. Bublé's Christmas is 14 years old, Merry Christmas is 31 years old, and the fact that her album is back up at #14 (and looking to jump into the top 10 next week) is wild. That's not someone "declining", that's someone with ridiculous staying power. I don't think she should've moved her Christmas show to Vegas. It kinda took away that warm, cozy, classic Mariah holiday vibe. It worked better when it was more intimate and easier for fans to get to. She reigned supreme at Beacon Theater for a decade and she also did great at MSG. Both venues were a train away for most people. (Saturday 6 December 2025; 14:59)

Would you rather? (112,619) by Bobby A from United States Mimi, I saw that I only had 1 like. Lol. I am going to stop reading her Wikipedia page. (Sunday 7 December 2025; 14:02) this is a reply to message 112,614

Would you rather? (112,614) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Bobby A I adore you, but please let's never compare Taylor to MJ. This is coming from someone who listens to Taylor's music and I too have quote how Taylor is definitely a master marketing machine. But MJ is on a league of his own and his career hasn't been matched and won't ever be matched. Beyoncé tried and failed. MJ was a phenomenon, a total powerhouse and launched a billion careers due to his influence especially at a time where there was no social media. He was pure talent, no gimmicks, no clever marketing. He was just the kind of artist we will probably never experience again. Taylor Swift is a powerhouse in her own right but I don't think she is of Michael's caliber and influence. She knows how to control the narrative and market herself and that's what works for her. (Saturday 6 December 2025; 17:00)

Would you rather? (112,610) by Bobby A from United States An enormous amount of country fans followed her into the pop realm because country music had become so country pop when she released her Red album. When 1989 was released, she had another million fans who just helped TS cement this pop hold she has right now. Also, you have to consider that these fans - teenagers and adults - have enormous sympathy for TS because of her recording masters fight with Scooter Braun and Big Machine Records. Finally, her savy business sense to draw them to purchase the many versions of her albums and TS merchandise is something that we have never seen before by a female artist. She is the female version of Michael Jackson in 2025. (Saturday 6 December 2025; 13:21) this is a reply to message 112,606

Would you rather? (112,606) by TJ from Norway I really don't understand why TS is so popular. It's like people are under a spell. (Saturday 6 December 2025; 09:45)

2026 Plans for Here For It All? (112,600) by Bobby A from United States I don't think there will a deluxe version now for several reasons. HFIA faded quicker than Caution. The support from Gamma was not there two weeks after the album dropped. September 26th was just the wrong release date for HFIA. Type Dangerous was released June. Sugar Sweet was not promoted for success on the charts. Do you see what I am saying? Also, it seems like we are seeing a decline in MC's Christmas holiday popularity. Her Christmastime shows are not selling out. Sony didn't do anything special for Merry Christmas or AIWFCIY this holiday season. Even radio airplay for AIWFCiY this year is down compared to last year. Michael Buble's Christmas is #1 on iTunes while MC's Merry Christmas is #14. Is MC's popularity during the Christmas holiday season waning? (Friday 5 December 2025; 07:06) this is a reply to message 112,595

2026 Plans for Here For It All? (112,595) by BFF from United States Has anyone heard anything about what will happen in the New Year? Are there still plans to release a deluxe edition of HFIA? The Mimi Anniversary is over, so surely there will be some kind of tour dates and/or residencies planned for 2026. I still wish they had released the album a bit earlier in 2025 so it wasn't competing for attention with Celebration of Mimi and Christmas engagements. (Thursday 4 December 2025; 16:00)

Article: Mariah set for "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" special (112,591) by Bobby A from United States MC is taping her appearance for the New Year's Rockin Eve's Special at her December 8th Las Vegas show.

Oh Santa (112,585) by Bobby A from United States Does it really sound like a JD production? I love hearing it while shopping at the mall. (Wednesday 3 December 2025; 02:22)

Isn't it ironic, don't you think? (112,580) by Bobby A from United States Knowing how she MC feels now, I wonder why she allowed American Idol contestants to cover her songs when she was a judge. Anyway, since MC can't sing her songs like she used to, MC doesn't want videos of others out shining her in 2025. (Tuesday 2 December 2025; 08:29) this is a reply to message 112,577

Isn't it ironic, don't you think? (112,577) by jaker20 from US That is why Mariah is saying she doesn't like other artists to cover her songs, because she can't really block them. That's her intention behind it. So she's pre-emptively discouraging other artists, especially from other artists she feels threatened. (Monday 1 December 2025; 21:53)

The Beautiful Ones (112,568) by Bobby A from United States I totally agree. It was meant to have a jam session feeling or how an 80s ballad was extended. It worked for me because I wanted more MC and Sisqo at the end. (Monday 1 December 2025; 03:24) this is a reply to message 112,567

The Beautiful Ones (112,567) by Lambi from USA Mariah introduced The Beautiful Ones to me. And I agree, hers is better. Could've been a tad bit shorter but Mariah's voice and interpretation during Butterfly is basically unbeatable. Prince might've been insecure. (Monday 1 December 2025; 02:11)

Muni Long (112,564) by Bobby A from United States Bill, I forgot to mention the songs Muni Long co-wrote with MC. Their first collaboration is your favorite song Crapfinity. A No No is their second collaboration. Muni Long provides the background vocals and the laughter on A No No. (Sunday 30 November 2025; 21:25) this is a reply to message 112,558

Muni Long (112,558) by Bobby A from United States Hi Bill. It was in 2009 Priscillia Renea released her album, Jukebox. After that she spent a decade writing songs for other artists. She released her second album Colored in 2018 and it didn't do anything. She became increasingly frustrated that her solo career was not going anywhere. So, she signed to Def Jam Records and changed her name to Muni Long. Her first Def Jam release as Muni Long was Hrs. and Hrs. on November 19, 2021. R&B radio and listeners went crazy about the song during the 2021 holiday season. TikTok videos were made by fans and at the top of 2022, it exploded on the Hot 100 chart. It was a certified hit with every R&B and pop listener on Valentine's Day. That is the Muni Long story and why she's popular today. (Sunday 30 November 2025; 13:41)

Prince (112,545) by Bobby A from United States Muni Long's net worth is only about 1.5 to 2 million. She has a long way to go to catch up to MC's net worth of 300 million. (Saturday 29 November 2025; 12:12) this is a reply to message 112,544

Prince (112,544) by Lambi from USA Remember when he told Mariah, "I like Honey" and she was like, "I get it, don't sing your songs." She didn't take it as an insult; she just kept it respectful. She didn't react immaturely the way Muni did with such a cut-throat skit, which really can't be perceived as anything other than utter disrespect. That's the difference between them. Mariah just gets it. She was only 27/28 then, yet she was already so emotionally mature. Especially compared to Muni at 37. That was full-on mean-girl energy, and completely unnecessary. I don't think I'll see Muni in the same light ever again. (Saturday 29 November 2025; 11:59)

Caution (112,536) by Bobby A from United States Today I have placed Caution on the same level as TEOM. It is just a feel good party record that you can play over and over again. I hope MC is rushed to record MC17 because she produces a party record when she is focused and pressured to put her music out there. (Thursday 27 November 2025; 23:18)

Muni Long what? (112,534) by Bobby A from United States Maybe it is, Alexis. It was just a random thought while I watched Dex Dexter leave my apartment. Lol. It could happen next year because MC is long overdue reuniting with Tricky and The-Dream. Muni Long's writing partner, Ben Parris being apart of the writing session would be icing on the cake.

Muni Long what? (112,528) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States What an asinine idea. (Wednesday 26 November 2025; 20:23)
