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

Next single (109,253) by Bobby A from United States Well, we know one thing for sure that MC and Gamma will not release the album if there's not at least one single in the top 10 on the Hot 100. That is another one of MC's past mistakes releasing her last two albums without a hit song. Hopefully, Type Dangerous will rise on the charts with streams and radio airplay because of the release of the music video, but ageism is kind of hindering MC right now. Sabrina Carpenter and Ed Sheeran already have two of the most anticipated albums for the latter part of the summer. Currently, Type Dangerous is number #22 on the iTunes chart.

Next single (109,251) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya I heard the explosive rumors too and yes you’re right it might not be a ballad and maybe upbeat but I’d still want her to use high profile and mainstream artists if she wants to release a collaboration single. (Friday 13 June 2025; 01:32)

Next single (109,246) by Bobby A from United States It is a rumor on the web that the duet is called Superstar. I am sure the label knows that it will be a hit and they want to release it as the second single to launch the album with some fire behind it. People love duets during the summer too. For example, Jason Aldean's and Kelly Clarkson's Don't You Wanna Stay was a huge hit during the summer of 2011. (Thursday 12 June 2025; 19:31) this is a reply to message 109,243

Next single (109,243) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I know it's premature to talk about this but I have been hearing rumours that the next single is going to be a ballad type duet with Anderson .Paak. There are a few reasons I don't think that's a good idea. - It's the TEOM cloning all over again which tanked E=MC2 and her future releases for trying to do the same format. I think her next single should still be another uptempo song. A fresh new sound like T-Dang. It's summer so let it be fun and something people can enjoy and feel uplifted. Some catchy lyrics, a strong chorus (Sabrina Carpenter dominated summer with her clever lyrics and choruses, the "I'm working late cos I'm a singer" or the catchy chorus of Espresso, or the digs in "Taste" and "Please Please Please" to name a few). So I think her next single should be uptempo and catchy. The general public is seemingly responding well to T-Dang not just lambs which is new and we need the GP to get success. - I honestly think if she is releasing any collaborations as singles it should be high impact and high profile collaborators that can benefit her on the charts if she really wants those #1's stacking up. Also she is possibly in a relation with him and I think it'll be sweeter to keep it as an album track than an official single. Those are my thoughts and 2 cents. (Thursday 12 June 2025; 16:24)

Charts (109,233) by Bobby A from United States The tracking week is Friday [through] Thursday. The chart announcement is next Monday and dated the following Saturday. I asked my Lambs on X. Lol. (Thursday 12 June 2025; 02:34) this is a reply to message 109,231

Charts (109,231) by Tevin from USA When do the Billboard charts update? (Wednesday 11 June 2025; 22:11)

Earth shattering surprise (109,230) by Bobby A from United States I am elated that MC and her team are really doing everything right this time to launch MC16. They must know what is about to be released is the return of Mariah Carey to the charts. She talks about her Anderson .Paak duet as if it is a hit for sure. In addition to Jack Antonoff, my production wishlist is Ryan Tedder, London On Da Track, Bizness Boi, D'Mile, Babyface, Zatoven, Cirkut, Julian Bunetta (Teddy Swims) Busbee, Dev Hynes, and Walter A. I am predicting a late July to early August release date. Ciara announced her new album, CiCi will drop on August 22nd and Sabrina Carpenter's Mankind will drop on August 29th.

Earth shattering surprise (109,223) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Joseph Kahn said that the T-Dang MV will have an earth shattering surprise. I want y'all to chime in and drop what you think it is? So many possibilities. At this point I think this will be a 2 part video or at least a video that has interwoven storylines like Honey/Heartbreaker because it says "a film by Joseph Kahn" so I don't think that's earth shattering because both have been done by her before (it is however very exciting if she does do one of the 2). Below are some of my guesses: 1) One of the Kardashians is involved. 2) Mariah gets her previous MV men to come back. 3) She gets her exes to make a cameo hahah this will be hilarious. 4) Taylor Swift? Because of the Joseph Kahn mutual friend situation. Now that would be earth shattering but I doubt it. 5) Miss RiRi on the remix? Ok I tried to go as far fetched as possible with the others except for #1 hahah. So I want to know what you all think. (Wednesday 11 June 2025; 00:46)

Mariah, on fire (109,227) by Bobby A from United States Zachariah, I am sorry for all of your difficulties. Try this X link. (Wednesday 11 June 2025; 13:35) this is a reply to message 109,226

Mariah, on fire (109,226) by Zachariah from Croatia I tried both options - zero results. When I try to register, there is some kind of blockage for Croatia and I can't register. So dumb that they didn't post it on YouTube while everything else is. (Wednesday 11 June 2025; 12:04)

Mariah, on fire (109,216) by Bobby A from United States You can watch the full show at BET.com with a 24-hour free pass by signing up on their website. [Webmaster: Or you can check their YouTube channel to see if the performance is already uploaded.] (Tuesday 10 June 2025; 16:06) this is a reply to message 109,214

Mariah, on fire (109,214) by Zachariah from Croatia Where can I see the performance? I am trying to find it on YouTube but nothing. (Tuesday 10 June 2025; 15:13)

BET performance (109,209) by Bobby A from United States Now that is how you do it. I loved it. MC's speech was short and sweet. (Tuesday 10 June 2025; 06:08)

Music video (109,201) by Bobby A from United States The Type Dangerous music video teaser looks hot and one of her best videos since TMB. When MC's heart is committed to a project and her team is behind her, she is unstoppable. I love how she is referencing lyrics from her past music videos and revisiting TEOM themes. I guess that is the reason why the ILT esentrik remix has seen an increase on Spotify in the past few days. (Monday 9 June 2025; 21:52)

The visuals and promos (109,190) by Bobby A from United States I don't know who is working with MC on her new team, but the rollout of Type Dangerous and the interviews and visuals after June 6th have been absolutely genius. Did you see what looks like the album cover that MC posted this morning? The pose and color points to a Mariah Carey album cover. I can only think of one other artist who did this exact same type of album rollout in 1991. That album was a huge sucess for the male artist because of the work his team and label did before the album's release. I see a huge promotional plan on the horizon during the next few weeks for Type Dangerous and the release week of MC16. This era is going to be bigger than TEOM because of the media buzz is so high already for MC16. Forget about those 10 tracks from 2023. We are in store for a masterpiece coming up. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 23:50)

New intel (109,186) by Bobby A from United States The reason L.A. Reid is executive producing is because MC has signed to his joint venture with Usher Mega Records label. Gamma is the distribution company. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 20:14) this is a reply to message 109,130

New intel (109,130) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here are a few new info we have: - The album is almost done - There will be collabs (please Lord some A list ones) - There's a "very good" duet with A .Paak - She is currently sequencing the track list - LA Reid asked to record one more song (deja vu TEOM) - There are visuals (Type Dangerous MV) - TD will be directed by Joseph Kahn. I hope they use his full potential. Joseph did some incredible work with Taylor. (Friday 6 June 2025; 21:25)

Promo and MV (109,185) by Bobby A from United States I am predicting a #30 or above Hot 100 debut only because there is not video or remix yet. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 19:47) this is a reply to message 109,181

Promo and MV (109,181) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia Infinity peaked at No. 82 and I Don't peaked at No. 89 respectively at the Billboard Hot 100. After 2017, Mariah did not chart on the Hot 100 except for that All I Want For Christmas. So let's hope Type Dangerous could chart higher than those two songs, at least top 15 like #Beautiful. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 14:09)

Promo and MV (109,182) by Bobby A from United States MC has the following television and festival commitments scheduled. June 9th - BET Awards June 15th - Capital Summertime Ball - UK June 27th - One Heart One Voice release day August 2nd - Brighton Pride Festival - UK August 15th - Heritage Festival - UK September 13th - The Town Festival - Brazil September 17th - Amazonia Para Sempre - Brazil September 20th - iHeart Music Festival (Sunday 8 June 2025; 14:14) this is a reply to message 109,162

Promo and MV (109,162) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Do we know if Mariah is scheduled to be on any tv appearances and what her promo schedule looks like? I know she'll be at the BETs but any other appearance? It looks like radio is playing a quite a bit, is this something we've seen with her last few releases or is this new? For music video, what do you guys think will be her vision. Excited for her working with Joseph so I hope there's some story line. I wonder if she'll do a parody of her previous relationships or her previous music video leads because the lyrics hint at both or I might be overthinking it. 1) The one about sing sing and evil king is of course Tommy. 2) The motorcycle man had a Yen for me. Is this a hint at Tanaka who's part Japanese and had a thing for motorcycles or is it her male lead in Sweetheart or even Miguel in #B. 3) The computer nerd has to be TMB unless I'm missing something haha. 4) The man in construction moving pounds through customs. Is it James Packer or Wentworth Miller (WBT/Prison Break because his character was a structural engineer in think in PB). Some people say the moving pounds through customs could be Tanaka too because apparently he was detained in Brazil. I haven't heard about this before though 5) "Said we'd be together, but you didn't stay forever. Now I guess it's just whatever 'til the twelfth of never." This is probably Nick because Mariah was super in love and thought it's forever and "twelfth of never" probably because he has 12 kids So I wonder if she'll do a parody like that which would be hilarious. Or if it'll be more touching and looking at the camera hahah just joking. (Saturday 7 June 2025; 18:34)

Promo and MV (109,180) by Bobby A from United States Let's hope MC16 has some strong features and pop/R&B ballads. I don't know why I feel that One Heart One Voice will be included on MC16 so that it can serve as the 2nd single. The chart sucess of One Heart One Voice will determine when MC16 is released. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 13:45) this is a reply to message 109,172

Promo and MV (109,172) by Shezz from Pk I hope she's performing TD at BET and no Mimi medley though I would not mind an It's Like That to TD transition like the MC16 teaser clip. As for the different guys in the song - either they should all be fictional or all past relationships. Would be weird for her to talk about someone from her old music video (motor cycle guy) but then computer boy toy also sounds like the TMB guy. Some say that's Nick though the forever guy sounds more like him or that could be Tanaka as well. I also thought Tommy references now are a bit old and tired but maybe she did it because it made the verse more interesting and dramatic. I wonder what her insta pic with the guys is about... bet maybe? I think her MV video will definitely have a bunch of these guys in the video. She hinted at that in one of her interviews. They asked her about the guys and she said "you'll have to watch the video". I wonder if they have a remix lined up already or are they waiting to see how it performs. I'd be over the moon if the song just charts. What was her last single to chart? I don't think any of the Caution singles charted. Nor did I Don't and Infinity. Was #Beauituful her last new song to chart? None of the remixes charted. She does not have the fan base for her songs to have a decent debut, at best it could work its way into top 40. Which would be big for her. TD is good but it's no Believe. Her best shot at the charts is a pop song with mass appeal. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 05:22)

Tommy Motola (109,179) by Bobby A from United States Fair. Maybe that was the last time she will mention Tommy in one of her songs. We have to admit that MC has never had a long lasting relationship with any of the men she had been married to or dated. I think that the holiday get together has stopped with Nick and the twins as well. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 13:34) this is a reply to message 109,171

Tommy Motola (109,171) by Edward from USA If you read my post again, you'll notice the word important is in quotation marks. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 04:31)

Tommy Motola (109,168) by Bobby A from United States Are you saying at this point in MC's career that she should be thanking Tommy in her songs for her successful career? I bet he has never personally apologized to MC face to face. That would help her to heal. (Sunday 8 June 2025; 00:46) this is a reply to message 109,160

Tommy Motola (109,160) by Edward from USA I agree. Mariah's already given us some iconic songs that dealt with her trauma from that marriage, "Side Effects" being the most powerful and raw in my opinion. At this point, still throwing shade at Tommy feels unnecessary. She already went through her metamorphosis with "Butterfly", and found a renewed IDGAF freedom with TEOM. Lyrics that hint at Tanaka or Nick make more sense, they reflect more recent chapters in her life. But revisiting Tommy, decades later, feels a bit tired. She's 56, he's 76, it's time to "Shake It Off". Or who knows, maybe she's just waiting for Tommy to clock out permanently so she can drop a song called "Dirty Coffin", reminiscing about how "important" his presence was in launching her career. Poetic closure, right? (Saturday 7 June 2025; 17:12)

TD (109,163) by Bobby A from United States Well, I played the instrumentals of both tracks and now I do hear their similarities. (Saturday 7 June 2025; 18:55) this is a reply to message 109,161

TD (109,161) by Stacey from USA Nope, I've had those same thoughts. Listen to TD chorus and then the verses from Levitating. Sound a bit similar, don't they? (Saturday 7 June 2025; 17:42)

TD (109,157) by Bobby A from United States I don't hear Levitating. The flow of verses are the same though. I am sitting here thinking what sample MC can use for the remix. Just like Shezz, I hear Doechi on the remix. She would fit perfectly on the remix. (Saturday 7 June 2025; 16:00) this is a reply to message 109,155

TD (109,155) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Is it me or does the starting of TD sounds a bit like Dua Lipa's Levitating? For a while I was like what does this remind me of haha. But just the first. (Saturday 7 June 2025; 15:18)

iTunes (109,153) by Bobby A from United States Congratulations, MC. I woke up at 2am to check the chart and I was smiling again. (Saturday 7 June 2025; 14:39) this is a reply to message 109,141

iTunes (109,141) by Tameka walker from United states Mariah is number one on iTunes, congratulations are in order at least she is number one on iTunes congrats. Mariah you are so deserving of this love lamb for life. (Saturday 7 June 2025; 08:06)

Tommy Motola (109,152) by Bobby A from United States Tommy was probably mad when he heard he was mentioned yet again. He still doesn't realize how his lockdown treatment affected MC in their marriage. Trauma is not easy to forget or let go. The lyrics are hilarious and he should be laughing now. MC said she was just playing for Tommy. (Saturday 7 June 2025; 14:37) this is a reply to message 109,143

Tommy Motola (109,143) by Jamie from UK So yesterday I noticed Tommy was posting quite a bit on insta, I didn't think too much about it until this morning I've noticed on his story, he's put a post that says "You gotta know when to S.T.O.P." Not sure if this is a dig at Mariah or means something else? (Saturday 7 June 2025; 08:40)

TD press tour (109,151) by Bobby A from United States I noticed that as well. MC was probably tired or just had studio time or her BET performance rehearsal on her mind. She hasn't had a new single and album promo like this in quite a long time. It has to be overwhelming getting all this love. (Saturday 7 June 2025; 14:28) this is a reply to message 109,144

TD press tour (109,144) by Shezz from Pk I noticed yesterday watching some radio interview clips - her energy and enthusiasm varies quite a bit depending on the interviewer. She was very animated and enthusiastic for a couple and totally disinterested in the others. If she knows you, has a history with you and you know about her music and black culture, she will be way more relaxed and open. Just an observation, to most of the white interviewers she was a little cold and reserved. Maybe it was just a coincidence that she was not too familiar with them. Anyone else noticed this? I mean I don't blame her - not everyone can fake enthusiasm for small talk with strangers, but if you're out there promoting your music, wanting them to play your songs, you have to present a friendly front. Or don't go to the ones you don't feel warmly about. (Saturday 7 June 2025; 09:32)

New intel (109,132) by Bobby A from United States I hope she plays a game or has gifts delivered to us with the song title inside to let the Lambs reveal the tracklist. I think MC did this with Memoirs or E=MC2. I knew L.A. Reid asked her to record one more song. (Friday 6 June 2025; 22:08) this is a reply to message 109,130

New intel (109,130) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here are a few new info we have: - The album is almost done - There will be collabs (please Lord some A list ones) - There's a "very good" duet with A .Paak - She is currently sequencing the track list - LA Reid asked to record one more song (deja vu TEOM) - There are visuals (Type Dangerous MV) - TD will be directed by Joseph Kahn. I hope they use his full potential. Joseph did some incredible work with Taylor. (Friday 6 June 2025; 21:25)

The light is back in her eyes (109,124) by Bobby A from United States Yes, I noticed her smile was back. It is good see MC happy again. I love it when she wears her hair straightened. The name of the car company is Faraday Future and their car's name is FFZERO1. Take your time with prepping your masterpiece, MC. I can wait another three months. (Friday 6 June 2025; 18:54) this is a reply to message 109,117

The light is back in her eyes (109,117) by Shezz from Pk Did anyone notice how she was gleaming and beaming at the radio launch event? She looked alive and genuinely happy to be there and so grateful and proud. Almost shed a tear seeing that after so long. And she sang along to the song without looking at any monitors. I'd love a remix for the song. It's crying for another 30 second verse from Doecii. Apparently the fancy car company (that she shot the cover in) whose name I can't remember posted about something coming soon with her. I'm hoping that's for the music video. Knowing Mariah she's collaborated with them. Also, so so happy to read about the new label. They will go all out to support her and she won't pull out of her project midway through like she has previously because of these label issues. And I am happy that LA Reid is also officially guiding MC16. She's taken her time but she's doing it right. May she get the success and respect she deserves. Proud to be a lamb. (Friday 6 June 2025; 16:38)

Article: How Larry Jackson signed Mariah Carey to his startup (109,114) by Bobby A from United States This is awesome news. I just wonder, did L.A. Reid have anything to do with MC joining Barbra on a new Walter A. song? If he did, I know MC16 will have some Walter A. songs on it. (Friday 6 June 2025; 16:08)

iTunes (109,113) by Bobby A from United States It wasn't showing that it was charting early this morning, but it is at #9 now. (Friday 6 June 2025; 15:47) this is a reply to message 109,104

iTunes (109,104) by Jamie from UK You mean it's not there to purchase or on the chart? (Friday 6 June 2025; 14:28)

iTunes (109,103) by Bobby A from United States It is still not showing up. The label made a mistake and sent it to iTunes as an album. Hopefully, they will get it corrected soon. (Friday 6 June 2025; 14:03) this is a reply to message 109,082
