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

Re: RIP Kobe Bryant (92,609) (92,610) by Bobby A from United States This is really sad. RIP Kobe Bryant. (Sunday 26 January 2020; 23:43)

Chris Brown (92,605) by Bobby A from United States Chris Brown has sold a 1 million copies of Indigo and Heartbreak On A Full Moon both. Is it because of them both having 32 and 45 tracks respectively? And because of extended versions of both released a few months after the original release? It seems the strategy worked in his favor. His previous album - 18 track album Royalty only sold 500,000 copies. Maybe MC should release her next album as a double album. It worked for Merry Christmas the Deluxe Anniversary Edition. I hope her team is really thinking how the last two months in 2019 was such positive press and chart exposure for MC. (Sunday 26 January 2020; 21:16)

Love Takes Time (92,601) by Bobby A from United States If MC could give another Love Takes Time this year, she would win over a whole new generation of fans. There are like 6 songwriters and producers who can give her another Love Takes Time. They are Ryan Tedder, Darryl "DJ" Camper, Babyface, Harvey Mason Jr., Greg Kurstin, and Jimmy Napes. (Sunday 26 January 2020; 04:45)

Going to be an MIAM weekend (92,588) by Bobby A from United States This album really said a lot about what MC can do when she gets in the studio. She knows exactly how to bring a song to life with just the right imagery, Mariahisms and ad libs. The only negative aspect of MIAM is that MC's vocals are not her best in terms she sounded hoarse on most of the songs. But I love this album. MIAM is MC's most diverse album. I want this album on vinyl. What album is going to be your weekend? (Saturday 25 January 2020; 03:57)

Dedicated (92,587) by Bobby A from United States Dedicated is one of those songs undeniably Mariah Carey. I have so many questions for MC about this song. (Saturday 25 January 2020; 03:25)

Re: The Marammys (92,566) (92,573) by Bobby A from United States This is a great topic. I have been so busy with work this week, who started this topic? Kudos. (Friday 24 January 2020; 12:31)

Re: Tour (92,541) (92,548) by Bobby A from United States If those type of artists are not her fan demographics, then why does she keep having Trey Songz jump on her remixes and have rap features on her albums? Lionel Richie doesn't have rap features on his albums. (Wednesday 22 January 2020; 23:42)

Vegas (92,535) by Bobby A from United States What is MC planning for this round Vegas shows? I wish she would team up with Trey Songz, Khalid, Ro James for a tour. (Wednesday 22 January 2020; 02:44)

Re: Songwriters Hall of Fame (92,409) (92,511) by Bobby A from United States MC should be in full recording mode for her new album by the time of the ceremony on June 11th. When she is doing interviews and walking the red carpet on that day, she is going love talking about what she working on in the studio. I really feel she is going to try bring her next album full 360 with songs that have shaped her 30 years as a singer/songwriter. It only makes sense for her to do this because 2020 is going to be significant year for her career. I can't wait to see what type of music she releases in 2020. (Monday 20 January 2020; 23:18)

Re: Mariah (92,466) (92,481) by Bobby A from United States MC lost her lyrical touch after TEOM. This is reason why she should work with like 6-8 songwriters on each song like she did on Infinity. (Monday 20 January 2020; 00:10)

Re: Mariah (92,474) (92,479) by Bobby A from United States Well, B you are really good. I only thought With You and The Distance were about Bryan. I really wish MC would write less autobiographical lyrics so that her personal life doesn't shine through in every song. She needs a song like Jack Wagner's All I Need. (Monday 20 January 2020; 00:05)

Re: Babyface (92,472) (92,476) by Bobby A from United States He is definitely singing on it in middle of the song. (Sunday 19 January 2020; 23:55)

H.E.R. (92,475) by Bobby A from United States The artist H.E.R. has been recognized by the Grammys Academy in multiple categories for the 2nd year in a row. She is a breath of fresh air to R&B. If you have not heard her first album, you need to listen today especially to Avenue, Losing, Focus, Every Kind Of Way, Best Part, Changes, and Jungle. The whole album is pure brilliance. Her second album, I Used To Know Her is just good as her debut. You can't fit her music to one certain sound. It is so evidence in her new song Slide. I guess that is why she keeps receiving Grammy nominations. She doesn't work with producers who you can hear their sound as soon the song starts playing. H.E.R. will never sing her lyrics over a Timbaland or Jermaine Dupri beat. It is just not who she is nor how she wants her songs to be heard. Chris Brown does the same thing when he records an album. It's like he gathers all of L.A. homeboys and up and coming songwriters and producers all in the studio and they knock out new sounds in the studio. His new song Overtime is evidence of a new Chris Brown sound. Maybe that is where MC has gone wrong with her last few releases. I would like to see her work with some lesser known producers and songwriters to really give her a new sound and relatable lyrics that are not so autobiographical or predictable like With You. Let's hope we get a new album that is a new and fresh sounding MC. (Sunday 19 January 2020; 23:28)

What if (92,454) by Bobby A from United States What if Mariah posted a picture of her and Walter A. in the studio, how would you react? I know I would probably jump for joy and say she can forgive and move on after 20 years. (Sunday 19 January 2020; 02:27)

Re: Mariah (92,439) (92,440) by Bobby A from United States She is awesome in my book. Let's focus on her accomplishments in 2020 and what she will do in the new year. I wonder what are her plans after the Vegas shows. Is she planning a new album to tie in with the book? It is also the 30th Anniverasary of Mariah Carey. Will Sony Legacy re-release the album on vinyl and a remastered CD with bonus tracks? We may get Weakness of the Body on CD this year. Surely, something is planned for this year besides I Had A Vision Of Love. (Saturday 18 January 2020; 19:58)

Babyface (92,434) by Bobby A from United States I am sure hoping MC reaches out to Babyface this year for collaboration. They wrote such beautiful songs together. Never Forget You was just classic Babyface at the height of his songwriting career. Two years later he gave the world some of his best work on the Waiting To Exhale soundtrack. Melt Away always left me wanting to hear more on Daydream. Every Time I Close My Eyes was a perfect gem that showcased his impeccable songwriting skills and MC's immpecable vocal arrangements. Who else wants another Babyface collaboration? (Saturday 18 January 2020; 03:46)

Re: Songwriters Hall of Fame (92,399) (92,405) by Bobby A from United States Congratulations MC. It is long overdue. This is such great news at the start of 2020. (Thursday 16 January 2020; 23:32)

Re: The memoir (92,295) (92,304) by Bobby A from United States My real concern is promoting the book without a new album to go along with it. If there is no new album to talk about and how parts of the book are reflected in the new album, then the book will quietly fade away the next week after its release. MC and her team must have a promotional tour modeled after Michelle Obama's book promotional tour. It was a huge success for her. A morning talk show and late night promotional tour would ensure the book promotional tour a major success. I hope MC writes companion songs for Vision of Love, Hero, and Love Takes Time to bring her earlier chart success back into the forefront. Only time will tell how serious she becomes about studio time after the Vegas shows. If she focuses, she can record a new album in 6 months. March through August will be pretty interesting to see what she can do in the studio. I feel she was in the studio last night with a new male producer. She had been too quiet this month. Lol.

2020 is the year that artists are changing sound (92,285) by Bobby A from United States So many artists are going to be giving fans something new with their music this year. Justin Beiber is going more R&B. Adele is going to release her most personal album to date with possible features from Drake and Harry Styles. Dua Lipa is going to incorporate disco and pop. Sza has a crazy song with Justin Timberlake and other high profile features. Rihanna is going to release a double album - one reggae and one pop album. Sam Smith is going to give us more songs like How Do You Sleep by Ilya and Savan Kotecha. Brandy and Monica are going back to their 90's sound for their new albums. Usher is going to give us some old school Usher vibe by working with producers that he first worked with in the beginning. Alicia Keys just released an Ed Sherran co-written neo-soul jam called Underdog. She has been giving fans a neo-soul sound since last year's Show Me Love. So, MC is going to have to reach deep in her creativity bag to bring us something fresh and new because other artists are going to be hot this year on the charts. I am saying now that we will see a flood of March/May/April new song and album releases. I hope MC is working on a plan for her next masterpiece. Ed Sherran call up MC please. (Sunday 12 January 2020; 01:42)

Going to be an interesting 2020 (92,281) by Bobby A from United States We have a lot of burning questions about how this new decade is going to turn out for Mariah. Will "I Had A Vision Of Love" be well written and truthful? Will MC work with new producers and songwriters like Ed Sherran, Ryan Tedder, LondonOnDaTrack, Ilya, Savan Kotecha, Drumma Boy, Tim and Bob, A1, Max Martin, and Harmony Samuels, and Darryl "DJ" Camper who can capture her 1990's magic? Will MC release a hot single that will give her biggest Hot 100 hit since Obsessed? Will MC release an album that takes Lambs back to Daydream and Butterfly? I guess we will know that she is in full recording mode when she post that first studio pic. (Sunday 12 January 2020; 01:06)

MC needs hot 90's rnb sample (92,246) by Bobby A from United States Summer Walker's Come Thru is brilliant. It samples Usher's You Me Make Wanna. The song even features Usher. Check out the hot video with a JD cameo. This is the type of song MC needs to put out of the radio. Some 90's Rnb sample from SWV or JD produced song would assure MC radio airplay. I would like to see MC sample Usher's Nice and Slow. That would be a brilliant sample from a female perspective. Oh, well she has been really quiet this week. Maybe she has already been in the studio with some hot new producer. She better bring it this time with something hot to compete with female singers this year. (Friday 10 January 2020; 05:11)

Yummy vs. One Mo Gen (92,222) by Bobby A from United States Is it just me but the underlying melody of Yummy sounds like One Mo Gen. It was co written by Poo Bear. Radio is playing it like crazy. (Wednesday 8 January 2020; 02:04)

Re: New album (92,120) (92,128) by Bobby A from United States If she does come out with a new album in 2020 competition for radio airplay and album sales are going to be more than in 2019. Sza, Justin Beiber, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Frank Ocean, Dua Lipa, Max, Kesha, Brandy, Beyonce, Monica, Sam Smith, Normani, Ariana Grande and many more are dropping new albums this year. I forgot that Adele is dropping a new album this year too. 2020 is going to be hot for new music. (Friday 3 January 2020; 22:35)

Re: 2020 (92,076) (92,091) by Bobby A from United States Just what I thought Mimi would say. Well said. I was just amazed how she had fun recording All My Life with the legend Rick James. (Thursday 2 January 2020; 19:04)

All My Life (92,070) by Bobby A from United States First, this song is so fresh in 2020. Second, I didn't realize how much Rick James and MC are flirting with each other on this song. It is hilarious. Who in 2020 can write her another song and she accept it to record this year? Maybe Ed Sherran, Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, ThankGod4Cody (Sza) or Disclosure.
