Fast-forwarding (55,853) by darrian liu from taiwan If Mariah kept her training regime on her voice and her workouts, we would get amazing vocals by December and her 2013 body probably by February. Imagine her back on Rockefeller ready to prove people wrong and slay completely live. (Sunday 9 August 2015; 3:42)

Re: Remix (55,836) (55,852) by Mike from FL, USA I still believe that she has it in her to do something innovative and refreshing. Because she's written so many amazing songs over her 25 year career, I have a hard time believing that she's incapable of coming up with a new, fresh sound. It was only ten short years ago that she introduced us all to Mimi and her masterpiece, TEOM. Who's ready for a new era? That 19th #1 is sooooo overdue. (Sunday 9 August 2015; 3:36)

Re: Why You Mad cover art (55,845) (55,851) by Nick from USA I would hope that it is not the cover. Re-using old photos is so tacky. (Sunday 9 August 2015; 3:18)

Vegas 7/22/15 The One (55,850) by Mike from FL, USA I love how Mariah went off on her little tangent at the beginning of I'll Be There and sang a little bit of The One. It was never really one of my favorite songs until she performed it live (the only time she's performed it live, I believe) on the Shining Through The Rain MTV special. From that moment on, it has been one of my absolute faves. Those whistles at the end are what I imagine one would hear upon arriving at the pearly gates of heaven lol. I seriously can't wait to see her in February, and watching all of the newest videos of Vegas on YouTube is not helping to quell my anticipation. I live for these little impromptu vocal moments and they make me love Mariah more and more. One other thing, does anyone know if there are any meet-and-greet or vip tickets/packages being offered for any of the Vegas shows? I didn't see any mention on the Caesars website of these being offered, but I could have swore she did meet-and-greets at the first group of Vegas shows. (Sunday 9 August 2015; 2:31)

I have to say (55,849) by Kate from UK Whenever Mariah does something someone doesn't like lambs react like it's an act of terrorism. I admire how the majority aren't reacting to the remix like that. (Sunday 9 August 2015; 2:10)

Re: Why You Mad cover art (55,845) (55,848) by Marcus from Brazil Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan from United States of America and other American territories, were you being sarcastic? Because I can't believe any person with some common sense can see a hit in this mess-mix. Of course Mariah is going to slay, but literally. (Sunday 9 August 2015; 2:10)

Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan (55,847) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So Alexis do you troll all artists and their fan sites or just Mariah? (Sunday 9 August 2015; 2:04)

Why You Mad cover art (55,845) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter DJ Suss One and French Montana shared the cover art (possibly) on instagram. They used the black and white image from E=MC2. If it's the actual cover art, it's cute. They should use it. (Sunday 9 August 2015; 1:46)

#19 (55,844) by Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan from USA This new remix is her 19th #1 hit. It's so fresh and innovative. If you're not liking the song you are not a real lamb. Slay queen. (Sunday 9 August 2015; 1:44)

Re: Layout (55,839) (55,843) by Lee from UK Of course. Thanks for that. Keep up the good work. (Sunday 9 August 2015; 1:43)

Re: Bleh (55,808) (55,814) (55,823) (55,840) (55,842) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Licia, That "#Beautiful" Jeezy remix was perfection. "Your body so dope you should have been a dealer." I loved it. Jeezy, Mariah and Miguel sounded great together. Lol I laughed so loud when I read you pretend you pretend that the A$AP Rocky remix doesn't exist and I am completely with you. "I don't know her" moment for me. Anyways I don't know if you heard it but Mariah left a voice message and she played a snippet of another remix of "#Beautiful" that was supposed to be released but alas abandoned. It was going to be a re-sung dance remix and it was right along the lines of the "Dream lover", "Fantasy" dance remixes she did in the 90s with re-sung vocals. Really for me Mariah never lost the ability to do a great remix but I think with "Infinity" she missed the mark. Let's see how the finished version sounds and how they promote it. Regardless of how I feel about the song, if this does blow up the charts, I will be extremely happy for Mariah. Until then can I join you in your denial booth? (Sunday 9 August 2015; 1:41)

Re: Bleh (55,808) (55,814) (55,823) (55,840) (55,841) by Marcus from Brazil Licia, I completely agree with you. A song doesn't have to be necessarily a hit, but it could be well produced and put together. Especially now that technology can make things easier. Anybody can have a mini studio at home, I've seen it. This "rent two rappers and teen" combo didn't work at all. It sounds uninspired and desperate at best. Infinity is not going to happen, she should've left it there where it was when she first released it. "Infinity" is not even an iota closed to the quality and production of "Beautiful" album version and remix, "Almost Home" or "Triumphant" remixes. This is a complete mess. I hope Mariah finds her muse soon because evidently she seems to have lost it. This is not about wanting '90's Mariah, it is about quality more than anything. When four people come together and can't put together something decent, either somebody is being a control freak or something is very wrong. Mariah needs to come from "Infinity" to "Reality". After the way they have cleaned her image, she needs to be more serious about her music. (Sunday 9 August 2015; 0:20)

Re: Bleh (55,808) (55,814) (55,823) (55,840) by Licia from USA Lol Let me have my moment of denial. I'm allowed. Lol. You brought up a point earlier bout the Jeezy hip hop mix of Beautiful. That's the type of remix I expected of Infinity/Thirsty. I adore that remix (I like to pretend the Beautiful remix with ASAP Rocky never happened lol). It shows she's still capable of doing a great remix that's sounds current. I'm not expecting the 90's style of remixes, I just miss the 90's work ethic where she went the extra mile to make something great. It's possible because of how great the Jeezy remix of Beautiful came out (I want to see that video Mariah lol). I'm still trying to give Infinity/Thirsty a chance, but this new remix didn't help.

Layout (55,839) by Lee from UK I really like the new layout of MCArchives. It's so much easier to use on my mobile phone. I'm not sure if this is a problem that you are already aware of, Eric (or if it is just an issue with my phone) but I can't read messages on the message board, just the subject lines. [Webmaster: See message 55,793.] (Saturday 8 August 2015; 22:57)

Singing high on weed (55,838) by Ben from Sweden Here's a fan of Mariah Carey who calls himself Melovi, he sings while high on weed. Kinda good actually. Take a listen here. (Saturday 8 August 2015; 22:57)

So so... deaf (55,837) by May from Denmark I loved the parts Mariah sang. With her voice going strong I thought we were going to have one of those full blast belted endings. But I agree, it seemed abrupt. I disliked Montana, he sounded sleepy through the whole record, I truly believe the sudden ending of the song was because he made them all fall asleep. His songs and his rapping are terrible, I don't understand what was he doing there. I think that with a small rap by TI somewhere before the ending and just the part Justin sang would have sufficed. Mariah seems to still have the magic in her fingers but somehow is having a difficult time mixing the pot. (Saturday 8 August 2015; 22:49)

Remix (55,836) by Cgee54 from Usa I suspect that Bieber's verse was actually meant for Mariah to sing because he came last and jumped in the song. Do I hate the song, no but do I like it, so so. Mariah's issue is that everyone expects her to do music the way she did and realistically I don't think that's possible because how the music scene has changed. Yet I suspect if she did go back to the old way of doing things she will still be bashed. (Saturday 8 August 2015; 22:23)

Why You Mad (55,835) by Jake from New Zealand Is a mess. French Montana's verse is trash. T.I.'s even worse. Justin's is ok. The only good things were the beat and the new Mariah vocals. The end was abrupt. I don't understand how the same person who gave us MIAM released this mess. I don't even understand the need to remix the original. Which is probably the worst song ever released by Mariah, after Don't Stop. Mariah needs to stop collaborating with rappers and start with singers. (Saturday 8 August 2015; 22:14)

Best live vocal moments of final show (55,834) by RJJ12 from USA This YouTuber put together her best live vocal moments of the final show. I'm shocked that she actually sang the second verse of Honey live. She also went for a note in VOL that she avoided the whole show. Her voice sounded crystal clear. I hope she continues to improve and continue to sound this good. (Saturday 8 August 2015; 21:35)

Why You Mad remix (55,833) by Nick from USA I'm just going to appreciate it because this will probably be the last new "song" we get for a while. The remix is alright, I just wish she was in it more. I would talk more about it but there really isn't much to say regarding the track. (PS: I love the new layout of the site.) (Saturday 8 August 2015; 21:20)

And just when we thought (55,832) by Marcus from Brazil Well, "Triumphant" would be the equivalent of "Butterfly" compared to "Why You Mad Infinity Mess-mix". It is an epic mess. The "Triumphant" remixes were great, I burned the Vintage one at the gym, but this "Infinity" saga keeps getting infinitely worse. I remember when I first heard that snippet of "Heartbreaker", my heart stopped of excitement, but this remix? God have mercy. I don't think Mariah should try to replicate "Fantasy", but some people are not telling it like it is. We can be in "Lambily Land" saying it is acceptable, but this is a mess. (Saturday 8 August 2015; 21:16)

Why you mad? (55,831) by Ardis Logic from Earth I hate to say negative things about MC, so I will keep it short and sweet. I don't love it, but I don't hate it. Justin's part was ok, Frenchy and TI sucked. I liked the new vocals. It sounds like it had the potential to be really good, then they all got drunk and lost the vision. Love the new layout by the way. It's stellar. (Saturday 8 August 2015; 20:49)

Why You Mad? (55,830) by Dove from USA I like it. It sounds like something I would listen to on my way to work. I listened to the version posted on TMZ. (Saturday 8 August 2015; 20:08)

Why You Mad? (55,829) by LC from USA Why you mad? I guess that's a question that applies to more than one person. I actually really like the remix. I made the mistake of reading through fan comments on this board and other forums before actually listening, and from what was said, I was really expecting that it was the worst song Mariah has ever released. But, as usual, lambs overreacted and had meltdowns over nothing. I think it's a good song. I think it's current, has a nice flow and is a vast improvement over the original. The beat is very radio friendly, the chorus is memorable as ever, and the added verses/raps give the song an edge that the original was missing. Though I wish Mariah gave herself more parts, instead of being a hook singer on her own remix, I liked each section and danced along to the beat. It knocks. It's not the best remix she's ever done, by a stretch, but it's definitely not the worst. It has radio potential. And that's coming from a teen who is actually in touch with current music. Mariah gave us the 90s/Emancipation moment we all wanted last year with MIAM, but many treated it like trash. Let's let Mariah try something new. Again, why you mad? (Saturday 8 August 2015; 19:35)

Remix (55,828) by Nick from Maryland I feel like if she wanted to go the rent-a-rapper route there were some better choices, people that the younger people are really into right now like Fetty Wap etc. Bieber being on the track is a good thing because of his huge fan base. (Saturday 8 August 2015; 19:35)
