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

Nasty, nasty comment (108,936) by Bobby A from United States Bill, don't you dare go back into hibernation. I am enjoying you posting again. The newbies weren't around during MC's glory days like most of us. We remember when we were like that handsome guy in the Hero video who was shaking his head in awe of MC's excellent vocal skills and technique at 3:10.

Nasty, nasty comment (108,925) by Bill from the UK Correct, I am sad and unhappy that Mariah Carey is now nothing but a shadow of her former glorious and wonderfully captivating self. You and your kind can continue ignoring it. Perhaps I'll go back into hibernation again and pretend this isn't happening. Mariah I pray you get the help you need, God bless you always.

Say Somethin Solange remix (108,935) by Bobby A from United States In my Arnold voice from Different Strokes, whatcha talkin bout Lambi? Lol. Solange has a sound that millions of R&B fans love. Cranes In The Sky won her a Grammy award. She added the Solange vibe to Say Somethin. I am writing your post in my Mariah book. Lol. (Sunday 1 June 2025; 02:43) this is a reply to message 108,923

Say Somethin Solange remix (108,923) by Lambi from USA Nah real recognize real? it was indeed trash. Garage band vibes lmfao. (Saturday 31 May 2025; 13:43)

Nasty, nasty comment (108,928) by Bobby A from United States We all believe MC has one more great album in her. We just got to get through all of the bumps and curves in the road to get there. I feel we are going find out this year why it is taking her so long to release a new album. At the moment some of her current decisions and behaviors are concerning. It is almost reminisce of her personal and professional struggles between 1999-2001 just without the media coverage. The media is just cutting her some slack right now because there are too many other celebrities more newsworthy right now. I guess we should be thankful that they are leaving MC alone.

Nasty, nasty comment (108,916) by David from USA "2. Alcohol is known as one of the absolute worst things for a singing voice. Mariah's voice being damaged beyond repair (to the point that a number of us unprofessionals on this board can probably sing Hero better than she can and with no lipping) suggests she has indulged too much in this vice." Another fan disparaging and mocking Mariah with one of the most offensive comments I've seen yet (the part in parentheses). I feel sorry for you, buddy - you and all the lambs on here who wile away your hours hurting the woman who profess to love must have very sad, very unhappy to have to act out in this way.

Mariah Carey had 50-11 nose jobs but still insecure about "bad side"? (108,909) by Bobby A from United States I love your analysis of MC's voice as always. I believe MC sings I Am Free as a Sunday morning hymn. I have felt always that MC became emotional during the recording of I Am Free. Maybe that is the disjointed melisma that you hear. I feel Christian singers Laura Daigle and Brandon Lake never sound the same from album to album. Both singers have unique raspy voices that both use for the emotional effect in their songs, especially Lauren Daigle. (Friday 30 May 2025; 19:07) this is a reply to message 108,899

Mariah Carey had 50-11 nose jobs but still insecure about "bad side"? (108,899) by Bill from the UK I'm surprised more people don't notice the difference from Merry Christmas to Daydream vocally. Most sight Butterfly as when he voice began to decline and change, but for me Daydream was the beginning of the end. It was just masked by good songs, good production, and confidence on the stage when performing. Main call-outs for you all to review is that her melisma became disjointed, most noticeable on songs like I Am Free. She breaks it up rather than just singing straight through the melody like she did on all her albums beforehand. Then all the body from her voice went too, best displayed by When I Saw You and Long Ago. She still sounds great but there was a very noticeable shift at this point. As this was before her alcoholism then the nose job would be the most likely cause for the change. (Friday 30 May 2025; 08:28)

Say Somethin Solange remix (108,902) by Bobby A from United States Terna, your MC and Solange collaboration has come to fruition. Shezz, you made of aware first about Nostradamus' X post last year. The remix hits at a different level for MC. It is so Solange. It was released last night at midnight for the TEOM 20th anniversary. Can you imagine how MC and Solange would sound together on a new song with Solange's production style? (Friday 30 May 2025; 12:48)

Mariah Carey had 50-11 nose jobs but still insecure about "bad side"? (108,897) by Bobby A from United States How could it be? MC's voice in 1995 was clear and strong. The Fantasy intro whistle is her best whistle note ever. Melt Away is pure bliss to one's ear. I just wonder now does MC has any regrets about any cosmetic surgery that she had done. I feel we will see a more open and forthcoming MC this Christmas season about a lot of things she been through since Caution's release. Some network is going to offer her a huge figure for a sitdown tell all interview this Christmas season. (Friday 30 May 2025; 02:52) this is a reply to message 108,893

Mariah Carey had 50-11 nose jobs but still insecure about "bad side"? (108,893) by Bill from the UK Mariah came to terms with her (non-existent) bad side years ago and has said as such in her interview. It is pretty clear and obvious she has had a small nose job, and a large breast job, since 1990. The nose job is incredibly subtle but clearly impacted her voice and happened during 1995. It is obvious as it was the first major change in her voice, that became more nasally and brassy on Daydream, and lost its body. That I chalk up to the nose job. The most noticeable breast augmentation was in 1999 when Rainbow launched, but there was talk of a smaller one in 1994, but not so sure about that. (Thursday 29 May 2025; 14:20)

Recording contract (108,889) by Bobby A from United States Is it possible that MC doesn't have a recording contract? It could explain why MC16 has not come to fruition. Record labels loan artists money to record an album and deliver it in a certain timeframe to the label for approval, mastering, and packaging. Surely, if she had a recording contract, MC16 would have been released by now. MC16 has been nothing but "talk" for the last 4 years. Janet Jackson is in the same situation. That is the reason why Janet keeps going on tour so much. She doesn't have a recording contract either. It was never like this in the 70s and 80s for artists when they reached the ages of MC and Janet. Will it happen to Taylor Swift in 15 years? (Thursday 29 May 2025; 05:12)

Europe (108,882) by Bobby A from United States Nice. I will check out Croatia on the web as I plan my first trip to Europe. (Wednesday 28 May 2025; 01:12) this is a reply to message 108,881

Europe (108,881) by Zachariah from Croatia Croatia is a must to see. Beuatiful coastline and nice people. (Tuesday 27 May 2025; 23:39)

Europe (108,869) by Bobby A from United States Okay. I am planning my first trip to Europe in 2026. I know I want visit Capri where MC recorded some tracks from Charmbraclet. (Monday 26 May 2025; 18:54) this is a reply to message 108,868

One Heart, One Voice (108,868) by Edward from USA I've always thought Walter was the guy on "Whenever You Call". Bobby A, please don't tell me he's not the guy on "The Beautiful Ones". If he isn't, I'll be totally devastated. I think I need help. Help me. Is that the police? Whitney said loud and clear that crack was wack, just in case. (Monday 26 May 2025; 17:18)

One Heart, One Voice (108,867) by Bobby A from United States Edward, that was Mystikal and Master P. Walter A is not singer nor a rapper. Lol. He is only a producer, arranger, and songwriter. Are you still trying to recover from her Aussie interview? One Heart One Voice is just Barbara [sic], Mariah, and Ariana. MC described their collaboration on X as grandoise. (Monday 26 May 2025; 14:43) this is a reply to message 108,865

One Heart, One Voice (108,865) by Edward from USA I thought he did sing. Now I'm confused. I though he was the rapper on "Did I Do That". Who is she singing "One Heart, One Voice" with then? (Monday 26 May 2025; 13:24)

Aussie interview (108,861) by Bobby A from United States MC hasn't been this bad in an interview ever since 2014. At times during the interview, I couldn't tell if she interested in being there, offended by some of the questions, or just giving silly answers. (Monday 26 May 2025; 02:16) this is a reply to message 108,859

Aussie interview (108,859) by Randy from USA I just watched and I have to say, this is how I see MC. She's not normally this stiff but she has been in the past. And once again, she looks absolutely gorgeous. Isn't that her brand now? Isn't that the purpose? Isn't that what's spotlighted now? Having people say she looks good is the goal. Because there is absolutely nothing else going on for her right now. But to be honest I am shocked at all these alarm bells going off. I watched the interview thinking this is her on a bad day and it's happened before. Where's the fire? You all speak of strokes, medication, grieving and I'm like, she's been like this, off and on, since 2014. But ok. (Sunday 25 May 2025; 15:24)

This? (108,853) by Bobby A from United States Maybe her medication has changed recently because of still needing to cope with Patricia's death, her break-up with Tanaka, and dealing with her vocal decline. This is not the same Mariah Carey from 2018. MC has really been through a lot and she has not taken a break from performing. Creating new music in the studio has always made her happy. Plus, I think doing all of these performances lip syncing is not helping her either. When a singer knows that they used to have great vocal skills and suddenly it is gone, it can start to affect a singer mentally. This has to be how MC is feeling.

This? (108,850) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Is this really the cause of all the debate? Together with the Mimi Sessions? Hey, you all. This is Mariah nowadays. Haven't you noticed? I think some of you are blowing it out of proportion (not directed at anybody specifically, ok?). However, I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again, I don't think she should be touring this year. Instead, she should just relax and work on the new album if she really wants to release it (and treats us with some performances like the Mimi Sessions just for our entertainment because, even though they are not the best in her career, but she shows real talent and musicality in them). (Saturday 24 May 2025; 01:10)

She possibly had a stroke (108,831) by Bobby A from United States I was almost in tears, Shezz. It was hard to watch MC sing in that state. I can't watch the Mimi Sessions again. And Daniel Moore was just playing away on piano knowing he could have said something 3 years ago. Live singing is not good for MC right now. I want the best for MC. I think a new album filled with all the studio magic, new technology and personal lyrics would make me so happy than her performing live. I just wonder, were the Mimi Sessions planned and created after the Lambs' reaction to the Asia shows? (Friday 23 May 2025; 06:05) this is a reply to message 108,821

She possibly had a stroke (108,821) by Shezz from Pk She isn't dying, you all need to stop clutching your pearls. Highly doubtful that she'd be touring if she just had a stroke. Not all humans are created equal and not all of them age the same way. Specially ones with neurological disorders that only worsen with time. I think it's commendable she put this out. You all want her to sit down and cry on national tv about her vocal decline. She's not doing that. This is her response to all the lovers and the haters. This is her voice right now. I don't think it was half as bad as some of you think it was. Any one who has remotely followed her in the last few years wouldn't expect anything much better from a stripped performance like this. There are bigger problems in the world to lose sleep over right now. Kudos to Mariah for that honest performance that we have all wanted for a long time. (Thursday 22 May 2025; 18:07)

The return of the voice (108,827) by Bobby A from United States If MC can create the Mimi Sessions, why can't she record an album for the Lambily? I want to hear new songs to hear what she sounds like in 2025 with new technology, engineering, and instrumentation. It would help us not be so critical and possibly give us better insight through her lyrics what being Mariah Carey is like right now. I want my Butterfly MC back who gave the Lambily new music and MC's story through her lyrics. We deserve a new album after seven years. (Friday 23 May 2025; 04:52) this is a reply to message 108,826

The return of the voice (108,826) by Edward from USA I'm not mad at Mariah. I'm mad at the people behind the sessions, those who probably could give her honest feedback, but conveniently go with the flow instead. Michael also surrounded himself with sycophants and leeches who clap until the show was no more. You might like the sessions, but if you can't see there's something very wrong going on, I don't know what to think. (Friday 23 May 2025; 04:20)

Mimi sessions (108,805) by Bobby A from United States I don't know what to say good about MC's vocals during her Mimi sessions video. She doesn't sound too good. Maybe I am wrong, but she sounded off key and flat. (Wednesday 21 May 2025; 21:12)

Lol (108,798) by Bobby A from United States We need a SZA collaboration to test how radio is feeling hearing MC on the radio again. A sample similar to Luther and 30 for 30 would be perfect. Anything SZA releases is a radio and a Hot 100 hit. (Wednesday 21 May 2025; 12:45) this is a reply to message 108,797

Lol (108,797) by TJ from Norway Like a drag show? (Wednesday 21 May 2025; 11:36)

Article: Mariah Carey is set to announce Australian tour (108,788) by Bobby A from United States MC is becoming just a touring queen who goes on these mini tours without a new album to support her shows. I don't want to hear her sing Emotions and Hero in 2025. If she can record new vocals for a backing track, why can't she spend three-six months working her studio magic for a new album? (Tuesday 20 May 2025; 18:26)

Biopic (108,778) by Bobby A from United States Edward, your comebacks are smooth, very smooth. I almost added number 32 today. (Tuesday 20 May 2025; 01:36) this is a reply to message 108,774

Biopic (108,774) by Edward from USA I agree with you. It's very disrespectful posting an incomplete list. That list should be longer. (Monday 19 May 2025; 22:38)

Barbra and Mariah (108,777) by Bobby A from United States It is going to be released on the same day as her new album. It looks like she is going to drop the single with the album just like she did with the first Partners album. I guess Coulumbia is trying to drive album sales for a hot summer release. Pop singles from older artists on the Hot 100 typically don't do well on the chart nowadays. The Adult or Hot AC is another story. (Tuesday 20 May 2025; 01:32) this is a reply to message 108,770

Barbra and Mariah (108,770) by MusicfanJ from Germany Does anyone know when the song "One voice, one heart" will be available? Shouldn't it be released allready with Barbra's new album? (Monday 19 May 2025; 19:44)

Going country (108,776) by Bobby A from United States Well, I saw Tucker Wetmore perform on Jimmy Kimmel this month. I am so impressed with his great vocals and rapid singing style especially on his song Brunette that I am making Tucker Wetmore my favorite artist now. This is at least until MC16 is released. MC is just number #2 now. Lol. Tucker is the real deal with his catchy country songs that have made for a brilliant debut and changed country radio in 2025. (Monday 19 May 2025; 23:54)

Biopic (108,756) by Bill from the UK Those that know me also know lists bring me joy. For completeness, here is the current most up to date download of reasons why Mariah can't or doesn't sing anymore. Let me know if any need adding I've forgotten. 1. Ear monitor malfunction 2. No humidifiers 3. Too cold 4. Too hot 5. Stage fright 6. Corset too tight 7. Heels too high 8. Preserving her voice 9. Scared of Michael Jackson's casket 10. Didn't want to upstage the Queen of Soul 11. Wanted to respect her peers 12. Bronchitis 13. Stressful divorce/break up 14. Arm in a sling 15. Pregnant 16. Not pregnant 17. Nodules 18. Too many splashes 19. Medicated 20. Backing singers missed their cue 21. Backing singers singing her part now baby 22. Foiled by Dick Clarke Productions 23. Late for the sound check 24. Not enough sleep 25. Too much sleep 26. Bipolar 27. Food poisoning 28. Mic wasn't turned up 29. Shit happens 30. Avoiding wrinkles (Sunday 18 May 2025; 11:15)

Biopic (108,753) by Bobby A from United States I saw the post this morning. I had to do a double take to make sure that I did not write that post in my sleep last night. Lol. (Saturday 17 May 2025; 23:33) this is a reply to message 108,749

TEOM announcement (108,743) by Bobby A from United States When I Feel It is going to be finally released on streaming services on May 23rd. Giles aka Cakes on X announced today. He even posted a preview and MC sounds so good. (Friday 16 May 2025; 03:03) this is a reply to message 108,519

TEOM announcement (108,519) by Shezz from Pk Sprung and Secret Love were already released in the Ultra Platinum Edition. When I feel it hasn't gotten an official release though it's been around forever. I hope we get a couple of new tracks at least that she's still saving though they'll mostly be remixes and or live versions I have a feeling. (Sunday 6 April 2025; 06:43)

There is no album, it's all facade (108,741) by Bobby A from United States I miss those studio pics and capitions: Just leaving the studio at 6am. Wrote a smash song with Jermash. Lol. (Thursday 15 May 2025; 20:41) this is a reply to message 108,738

There is no album, it's all facade (108,738) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't think she's lying about working on music, but I also don't think she's as invested in making an album. What I mean is as a songwriter she must constantly be getting tunes and lyrics in her head and she probably writes it down or does a quick demo but never actually goes full into production. I'm deducing this from her saying she has 10 songs she just needs to add vocals etc. I also think after the flop of her last few projects she's scared of releasing new stuff because no matter what people think numbers are a big deal to her, it's her flex, so she's scared of losing. But what she should know is her last few albums didn't flop because of lack of quality, it was because of wrong single choices and bad videos that no one would rewatch. (Thursday 15 May 2025; 14:25)

Deeply concerned (108,731) by Bobby A from United States MC needs a break from touring and concerts. She needs Marvet Britto back for a total make over. She was the best publicist/strategist in 2005-2006 that MC has ever had. (Wednesday 14 May 2025; 22:21) this is a reply to message 108,725

Deeply concerned (108,725) by Edward from USA Whoever is pushing her to keep tarnishing her impressive legacy like this needs to be fired. There's clearly something off with her, and I just hope she doesn't end up like Michael and Whitney. Beyonce can lip, but at least she dances her ass off and sings her ballads live. Celine was full of energy with a huge production behind her, but Mariah didn't need all that, her voice alone carried the show. Now she just stands there and lips unconvincingly. You would think by now she would at least put on more energetic performances, invest in better production, have more moving parts on stage, or get a new choreographer. It's time to hit the gym without high heels and hit that stage like the star she is. Sadly, her performances are copy-paste jobs. You can see it in the comments on those clips, even the yass queens are starting to notice. (Wednesday 14 May 2025; 16:13)
