Abstract

In this podcast, “DEDICATED,” music writer Vincent Anthony speaks with the most devoted fans of the most divine divas. This inaugural episode, “Me. I Am Lambily… and the Elusive Chanteuse,” is about Mariah Carey, her Lambs, and how they react to a flop album.

Carey's album “Me. I Am Mariah … The Elusive Chanteuse,” turned in May 2024. A decade later, the Lambs, like "Why Mariah Carey Matters" author Andrew Chan, still listen to it. So, what do fans appreciate about these lesser-known albums that the masses couldn’t connect with?

Chan and three other Lambs, whom Vincent met at a "Mariah Night" event at a New York City gay bar, spoke with him about their fandom and "The Elusive Chanteuse."
