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: December 26th AIWFCIY lamb streaming party (91,544) (91,546) by Bobby A from United States We really should have a streaming party every weekend leading up to the weekend before Christmas. I believe AIWFCIY could be number one the weekend before Christmas if we stream heavy these next two weekends. (Friday 6 December 2019; 23:55)

Billie Eilish (91,532) by Bobby A from United States Who is this young singer? And why is everyone saying she is saving pop music and could be the next MC for this generation? She has Elton John's approval. Even my 4th grade students this week said oooh we love Billie Eilish. I just don't get her music. Somebody enlighten me on Billie Eilish.

Re: AIWFCIY live at Tokyo Dome (91,515) (91,516) by Bobby A from United States I bought a copy of the concert on DVD few years ago on Ebay. It appears to be a high quality fan made DVD distributed a Japanese company. The title says Mariah Carey Live in Tokyo with about 15 or songs including Daydream hits with AIWFCIY being the last song performed. I have it packed up right now in storage. I am going to find it this weekend. (Wednesday 4 December 2019; 01:42)

Re: AIWFCIY jumps 31 to 18 on Billboard (91,500) (91,501) by Bobby A from United States Wow. I was off by 5 spots. Streaming is really key. (Monday 2 December 2019; 23:26)

Re: AIWFCIY is already no.8 on Spotify (91,494) (91,495) by Bobby A from United States I forgot about Justin getting ready to drop his R&Beiber in the coming weeks. (Monday 2 December 2019; 04:04)

Re: AIWFCIY is already no.8 on Spotify (91,489) (91,493) by Bobby A from United States I am predicting this Hot 100 trajectory - 39, 31, 23, 13, 7 - leading up to the #1 position on December 24th. It is going to happen this year if Adele or Rihanna don't drop a new song in the coming weeks. Other than those two ruining MC's 19th number #1, it is looking really good right now.

360 next album MC please (91,479) by Bobby A from United States I know the focus is Merry Christmas and getting AIWFCIY to number #1, but MC is going to have bring in 360 with her next album. That is the only way to go for MC after 30 years. What I mean is that is MC is going to have give fans the ballads like Love Takes Time, Mine Again and Lead The Way. She needs to give fans the pop jams like Fantasy, Someday and Dream Lover. I would love for her to work with Ryan Tedder, Jack Antonoff, Darryl "DJ" Camper, Disclosure, Chris Brown, and Pharrell for her next album. And we all would be elated for her to bring it full circle with Walter Afansieff and Ben Margulies in 2020. Her voice is sounding really good these days for her to sing 70 percent like she did 30 years ago. Just my thoughts for the next album after too much turkey and dressing today.

Johnta Austin (91,470) by Bobby A from United States I am living back in Atlanta now. So today I met my favorite songwriter Johnta Austin at the gym. I shook his hand and told him that I am a huge fan of his songwriting. I am set for the rest of the week. (Wednesday 27 November 2019; 17:00)

Re: Miss You Most (91,464) (91,468) by Bobby A from United States This song sounds so beautiful on vinyl. The whole album just has a beautiful "live in the studio" sound. Anybody else has pulled out Merry Christmas on vinyl? (Wednesday 27 November 2019; 01:49)

Re: Slipping Away (91,453) (91,455) by Bobby A from United States I forgot to add this comment with earlier post. For some reason on my phone the website's discography section is not accessible. Websites and their functions are formatted differently on phones. (Sunday 24 November 2019; 14:52)

Re: Slipping Away (91,453) (91,454) by Bobby A from United States Bill, I love your story about Slipping Away. It is one of the best B-sides singles ever. I always wondered why it never made the album. Maybe because Tommy felt it was too telling of how their marriage was falling apart. If it was put on the album, it would have hurt the sales of the album. I really have been revisiting MC's body of work since I am on this MC vinyl high right now. This woman has a hugely impressive body of work. I hang on to every note and lyric when I listen an MC song. You're Mine made me tear up last month when I heard it in a convenience store. I just heard those low notes and the technical aspects in such a different way from the store's speaker. If you listen to every song she has released, you can tell she doesn't receive enough credit for being an innovator and awesome technical vocalist. Pink' s latest album shows some MC's vocal and technical influence. Oh well, I am rambling now. Only Lambs know and can appreciate gems like Slipping Away, Bliss, Everything Fades Away, Yours, My Saving Grace, It's A Wrap, Looking In, For The Record, The Beautiful Ones, The Wind, Faded, With You, and so on. Can you imagine MC's first box set when it is released one day? It is going to be a Garth Brooks career defining box set. (Sunday 24 November 2019; 11:39)

Slipping Away (91,451) by Bobby A from United States If MC could have added an 11th track to Caution, Slipping Away should have been it. SA fits so nicely in between Stay Long Love Me and Portrait. SA sounds so fresh today. Was this song ever on a ABMB European or Australian 12" or just the CD single? I need to hear low notes on vinyl. (Sunday 24 November 2019; 03:42)

Re: BOTH (91,445) (91,450) by Bobby A from United States I have always loved this song. There is a live version on a Through the Rain CD single. (Sunday 24 November 2019; 03:31)

Re: Last time MC belted (91,440) (91,446) by Bobby A from United States Ok, Bill you called me out on this one. I listened to all of them and I see your point now. (Saturday 23 November 2019; 18:48)

Re: Last time MC belted (91,440) (91,441) by Bobby A from United States I guess I should have said major belting. I will listen today to the songs you mentioned. (Saturday 23 November 2019; 11:11)

Re: AIWFCIY, 19th #1 (91,436) (91,438) by Bobby A from United States Thank you, Jake. So what are we waiting on to get a streaming campaign started this weekend on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook? We have to get AIWFCIS [sic] to number one this year. At Christmas parties, workplace parties, and at senior citizens events we should campaign for people to stream AIWFCIS during their parties. Does Sirrus XM radio count for streaming too? We need a ridiculous steaming movement this year. I just feel this year is the year. (Friday 22 November 2019; 23:14)

Last time MC belted (91,437) by Bobby A from United States Is it true DFAU was the last time MC belted in the song? (Friday 22 November 2019; 23:03)

Re: AIWFCIY, 19th #1 (91,433) (91,435) by Bobby A from United States The real question is how did it make it to number #3 last year? Did some Lambs do something special behind the scenes? Or was the radio airplay and downloads so enormous that it made it to number 3? Christmas music is played in retail stores really heavy in December. When it is played in retail stores through a digital service provider, does that count towards radio airplay? Another way we can get AIWFCIS [sic] to number one is to request heavy on top radio stations. (Friday 22 November 2019; 21:57)

Justice for AIWFCIY (91,418) by Bobby A from United States Ok, let's forget the Grammys. They snubbed MC again. So let's get AIWFCIY to number 1 the week before Christmas. So on 12-12-19 and 12-17-19 let's download, stream, request on the radio and YouTube the video like crazy on this day. #Justice for AIWFCIS [sic]. Wouldn't that be the best Christmas present Lambs could give MC for Christmas? (Thursday 21 November 2019; 01:50)

Usher's Confessions 2 (91,391) by Bobby A from United States Usher and Ella Mai have a new song Don't Waste My Time produced by JD and BMC. Maybe MC will have a duet track too on Confessions 2. They were in the studio this past summer. Confessions 2 is coming soon. (Tuesday 19 November 2019; 01:10)

AIWFIY Hot 100 Chart entry last year (91,390) by Bobby A from United States Wasn't AIWFIY already on the Hot 100 this time last year? I am really not hearing a lot of Christmas music on the radio right now. One week from Friday is Black Friday. (Tuesday 19 November 2019; 01:04)

My predictions for 30 years in 2020 (91,378) by Bobby A from United States I have this feeling we are in for some huge things to celebrate MC's 30 years as an artist. Here are my predictions: 1. Mariah Carey will be released on 180 gram vinyl commemorative anniversary edition and a remastered CD version with bonus tracks. 2. MC will release another greatest hits collection. 3. Caution's follow-up will be in the works after her Vegas residency dates. 4. Sony Legacy and Def Jam will re-release all of MC's albums on 180 gram vinyl. 5. MC's memoir will be released in the fall. 6. An unexpected male duet will be released. Maybe it will be Usher, Maxwell, or Sam Smith. 7. We will finally see MC collaborate with Ryan Tedder and Ashley Gorley. (Sunday 17 November 2019; 08:35)

Re: Grammys (91,371) (91,377) by Bobby A from United States I am hoping she receives a couple of nominations too. She deserves it. (Sunday 17 November 2019; 08:09)

Glitter vinyl promo copy (91,374) by Bobby A from United States I have in my hands a Glitter vinyl promo copy with a different order of the tracklisting than the retail vinyl or CD copy. Here is the order of the songs: Side A and B 1. Loverboy Remix 2. Last A DJ Saved My Saved My Life 3. Didn't Mean To Turn You On 4. Don't Stop Funkin 4 Jamaica 5. If We 6. All My Life 7. Want You 8. Loverboy Side C and D 9. Lead The Way 10. Reflections 11. Never To Far 12. Twister It seems like this tracklisting was for DJs at the club. All of the ballads are on side C and D. The sound is out of this word especially Lead The Way. (Saturday 16 November 2019; 22:48)

Re: Memoirs now onto Rainbox vinyl (91,245) (91,264) by Bobby A from United States Yes, it was me who won with the winning bid. Do you have Rainbow and E=MC2? (Monday 4 November 2019; 23:35)
