Infamous (66,926) by SM from Citizen of the World I love this song, I have Mariah singing it in my head when I don't have it on. I love the beat and her voice is a A+ for me. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 19:45)

Infamous (66,925) by Giovanni from USA I must say I'm not impressed. I know it was a song for "Empire" but Mariah can do much better. "Infamous" is boring and forgettable. It makes "Triumphant" sound like a masterpiece. Matter of fact, let me go and listen to it right now. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 19:38)

Re: Is it really decent or is it "Infamous" (66,915) (66,924) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I still stand by what I said about it being fine for the TV story line. But I also stand by what I said about this song not being Mariah at her full potential. And like I said before I'm not "devastated" by it not being the type I expect (although I didn't expect much from this as I just took it as a bonus song) neither will I have have mini meltdowns over it. I was severely disappointed with "Infinity" because they made it sound like the next big thing then it fell flat. But with this song, I have moved on. However that being said, I do feel like she could have used a better song for this opportunity. But hey what do I know, I'll gladly be slapped with a "I told you so" if this becomes a hit. After all when it comes to Mariah, I'll always root for her to win. As for Jussie having fans, in the words of Randy Jackson, "that will be a no from me". Empire is a very successful show but very few of the singles from the show actually charted. Yes the soundtrack was successful but the singles didn't really make a huge impact. If this song makes a huge impact, it will only be because of Mariah's name and the publicity they are using with Mariah in the snippets. It is however making some impact in Australia where it has become the highest selling single from Empire. As for having "Infamous" quality songs as album cuts, now that's a completely different thing right? This is why album cuts shouldn't be released as singles. Lastly, I also think maybe she should have released the song right after the episode aired for maximum impact. The publicity from the show combined with the anticipation of a new Mariah song would push fans and casual listeners to buy it. Releasing it 1 week in advance kinda kills the momentum. What's your take on the song though Ribbon? I'm sorry if you've already given your review and I missed it, I've been a little distracted. Did you like the song? (Saturday 1 October 2016; 19:28)

Don't hide your support using "Concealer" (66,923) by Edward from USA Licia, I love your post. You made it so clear that your message didn't need "councealer" or any other derogatory gay bashing diatribe. I bought the song, and gifted a copy to a friend. Let's hope when the episode airs the masses buy it too. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 19:27)

Re: Support (66,914) (66,922) by Malcolm from Asia I will not be surprise if one article will be about "Mariah's fan lambasted her new song for Empire". Come on, don't act like it's the worst song Mariah ever released. I get that some of you really don't like the song but you don't have to say it like you're a hater/basher that are just plainly mean, have at least some respect while criticizing it. Anyone in the media can see this board and can write anything they like. It's horrible that these kind of words are coming from her fans. Funny how this board has a picture of Mariah that says "be nice or leave" when it's more like "be harsh and insulting so you can stay". (Saturday 1 October 2016; 19:23)

TV show songs (66,921) by Will from England For brand new songs, do TV show executives/whoever have a list of requirements for what they want a song to sound like? Because the song has to fit with the show, and not completely the opposite of what they need it to be. So could it be possible that Mariah, JD and whoever, got a list of requirements for the song, what it had to say lyrically and the vocal performance needed, the context of which it had to fit, and crafted a song around that? Instead of going all out with full Mariah Carey, with whatever she wanted to write and sing about? (Saturday 1 October 2016; 19:09)

Who performed the surprise lobotomies? (66,920) by Nikki from usa You all know Mariah's touring throughout October and wrapping it up in Hawaii in November. You know her December Christmas deal with concerts and usual promo. Why do you think this is a new Mariah Carey single when that was not promoted by her or her team and you're well aware she has no time this year to do that? Empire isn't a podium to release new material for artists, it's for artists to assume a role and release music for Empire. At it's best selling they get over 100,000 downloads. Empire is R&B and hip-hop music that goes with their storyline and that's what Mariah delivered. New music for Empire doesn't equal Mariah Carey's next single. Now, people have gone off the deep end pumping up something that never existed and then blaming Mariah for not delivering something that was never promised. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 18:45)

Re: Infamous - I bloody love it (66,910) (66,919) by John john from UK Well aren't you a treat. Showing off is not what I do, you have know idea about me or my money (which I fully earn). How dare you have a pop. I would never dream of checking your profile out and having a go. Shame on you. Super fan since day one, that doesn't often comment but reads everyone's post (even if some are as dressing and beyond help). (Saturday 1 October 2016; 18:29)

RibbonB, (66,915) (66,918) by Edward from USA RibbonB, and because I love your posts and your humor, I'll say: RibbonB with a Bow on it, lol. Mariah could give an Oscar worthy performance on Empire, but that won't turn "Infamous" into a great record. A great record for me is not necessarily a song that would be a hit on the radio, a great record is just great, like many of Mariah's album cuts. Petals, Vanishing, Outside, Close My Eyes, and When I Saw You, just to name a few, would've been flop singles, but that wouldn't have taken away the greatness of those songs. In fact most of Mariah's #1's won't hold a candle to the aforementioned tracks. A hit doesn't necessarily mean a record is great, a good example would be Rihanna's "Work". It is evident that "The Emperor has no clothes", even though we can keep pretending his outfit is yasss queen to die for. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 17:53)

Infamous (66,917) by Special K from USA I haven't heard the song yet. I'll wait to see Mariah and Jussie perfom it on Empire. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 17:15)

Re: Is it really decent or is it "Infamous" Edward (66,913) (66,916) by B from USA Mariah's World premieres in December so unless you've seen it how can you call it a mess? The teasers have been promising except for a glimpse or two of Stella. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 16:25)

Re: Is it really decent or is it "Infamous" (66,897) (66,909) (66,915) by RibbonB from USA The show hasn't even aired yet though. Have a little faith already. Lol. What will people say if the song is actually a little hit. Jussie has some fans, the show still has fans and Mariah does have fans who will support and buy the single. Then she has her mini tour to finish and with Hawaii selling out, that is the perfect opportunity for her and Jussie to perform and promote it together. Don't act like she hasn't put out Infamous quality songs before, it is like a lot of her album cuts and better than a lot of songs getting played on radio today. She did a nice thing releasing it before the show aired, maybe that was actually a mistake. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 16:12)

Support (66,914) by Licia from USA I can't believe people are still throwing tantrums because some don't like the song. Instead of worrying about who does and doesn't like the song, how about y'all put that energy into supporting her? I bet the people who are complaining about the supposed lack of support haven't even purchased the dang song. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 16:00)

Re: Is it really decent or is it "Infamous" Edward (66,905) (66,913) by RibbonB from USA How will you react when all that does not happen? Lol. She may not re marry this dude, because she still isn't divorced and she will never give up music because she loves it so much. I highly doubt she will ever give up the spotlight because she lives for it and she could have done all that without this fiasco of a Mariah's World mess coming up. Also if Nick can hold up a divorce, allegedly, he will certainly prevent his kids from moving across the pond. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 15:56)

Mandy (66,912) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) Sorry for the typo, yes you are correct, Mariah was 24 years into her career at the time of 2014 WMA's. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 15:24)

Mandy (66,911) by Gee from U.S.A. (New York City) It's 26 years ago Mariah made her debut for the world. And side bar Miley is as fake as they come because at that same event Miley took a picture with Mariah and bragged about it like a fan girl on social media. So her latest stunt was nothing more than press for herself being a new coach on The Voice. Also why not target Mariah because whether good or bad her name can still garner press after all these years later? Miley should be thankful her name is even mentioned with the likes of Mariah Carey. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 15:18)

Re: Infamous - I bloody love it (66,890) (66,910) by Andrew from UK I didn't recognise you so I thought I'd check out your last few messages. Pretty much just trying to tell everybody that you spend money going to New York and Vegas and clearly just trying to show off lol. No, people won't be silent if they hate it. Why don't you be silent instead of trying to blatantly tell everyone how great you think you are. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 14:49)

Re: Is it really decent or is it "Infamous" (66,897) (66,909) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ugh Edward do you read minds or what? I too think this is yet another missed opportunity. Like you, I am not "devastated" by the song because I didn't expect much. It was like a bonus this year. But for Mariah it's quite the missed opportunity because this song would have gotten noticed by at least the millions of viewers that tune in to watch "Empire" in the States and worldwide. Great publicity for her without even having to make much effort. For that reason only she should have put in more effort. This is the same with what happened last year when she could have used Bieber's fame to her advantage. Just the fact that Justin crashed into Mariah's studio got so much coverage, if the song would have been released it would have gotten a lot more attention because since last year, everything Bieber touches was selling like hot cakes. And when I said "release the song" I didn't mean the half cooked nonsense mess we got to hear but fine tune it to make it for of a Mariah and Bieber song. Plus where is the 19th #1 Bulochnikov was going on about? I'm so bored of the wasted opportunities. It's like she doesn't even care. Sorry about the messy post. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 14:47)

Re: Infamous is ok (66,889) (66,908) by MusicfanJ from Germany After reading all the posts here to Infamous I finally listened to the song. I expected nothing because many of you don't like the song. But I think for "Empire" it works. It fits perfect to all the other songs from that TV series. If it would be the new single from Mariah's new album I could understand the disappointment. We'll see what's up next. Maybe she pleases then more fans and listeners. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 14:34)

Re: Is it really decent or is it "Infamous" (66,897) (66,907) by Musti from UK I wonder where Stella's "19th #1" hype announcement fits in. It definitely isn't Infamous. Could it be that a proper single is on its way? Maybe they have something in the works for AIWFCIY? I doubt she'll release a new single now with Christmas only a couple of months away. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 13:03)

Re: Infamous - I bloody love it -John john (66,906) by Sheila from United States I hate to admit but I actually love when Mariah goes, "I know it's dangerous, but I believe, a greater love there can never be". It's starting to grow on me totally. It's not like a great moment but it's nice radio filler. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 12:01)

Re: Is it really decent or is it "Infamous" Edward (66,905) by Sheila from United States Hello Ms. Girl, footnote "concealer works". It's ok to give your take on the song but to bash and bash and bash another human being over her vocals, her hair, her weight, her dress, her nails, her manager, her manager's kids, her instagram, her videos, her makeup artist is a bit destructive, right? Ok, I've proven my point. Keep in mind, when Mariah gets married and moves over the pond somewhere and there is "no" music, I guess these debbie downers will miss these little guest appearances and those red carpet moments, because trust and believe sweetie, it's coming. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 11:58)

The silence of the lambs (66,904) by Terna from Nigeria It's no wonder Mariah is reaching out to the younger generation for new fans who would love her, accept and support her unconditionally as she is now, and talk and refer to her with love and respect. Unlike the core fans who started with her and Tommy's vision of Mariah Carey. Those fans fell off along the way, and morphed into something crafted from pure hate. While still deceiving themselves they're still rational, and "love" her, yet when it comes to Mariah Carey, you get a glimpse of the confusion and ugly they are inside. And they're here littered all around with their distorted, inverted perceptions about her shamelessly spewing hate and negativity any chance they get. How miserable they must truly be. . A new crop of Mariah Carey fans is being raised void of all those issues the greater part of her original fanbase have. And in time the 795 B.C. entitled fans would be long forgotten because they and their distorted opinions on her won't matter, will not even be tolerated nor entertained. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 11:50)

Miley (66,899) by JAXGH from United States I can't blame her honestly. I think it's not even Mariah's music that she dislikes, it's just Mariah in general, Mariah disrespecting other people's time. I remember in World Music Awards 2014 where Miley was in, Mariah was opening the show but the whole entire event had to be delayed, by 4 freaking hours, because of what? Purely Mariah's tardiness. How do you even expect anyone to like Mariah after that. She didn't consider that other artists, dancers, musicians, hosts, producers, tech people, are on the show. They all had to adjust their schedules just to accommodate her delay. And that's honestly disappointing for someone who's been in the business for 24 years. So yeah Miley has her reasons. It's beyond Mariah's music. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 7:45)

Article: "Mariah Carey could sing you under the table" (66,898) by Gemma from Australia I don't know who Wendy Williams is but I love her lol. Miley Cyrus is a carnival act and Mariah could out sing her, even on Mariah's death bed. (Saturday 1 October 2016; 6:54)
