Infinity (60,222) by Terna from Nigeria Mariah never indicated Infinity was crafted for a hit, what it was was a theme for her Las Vegas residency. It's all a matter of opinion, I see Infinity as a catchy song, not quite radio friendly yes, but a good memorable singalong song and a solid vocal performance. I would pick Infinity over Rihanna's "Work" or Beyoncé's "Formation" any day. It's all music should sound like but those two other songs, well never mind. (Sunday 6 March 2016; 18:16)

Re: Skits (60,218) (60,221) by Lee TS from USA I still don't get why she has never hosted SNL. Mariah doesn't have to pull double duty if she's worried about performing live. Every other diva out there has done it. And now this "Dangerous Woman" is going to do it, irks my soul. Mariah would be able to show off her acting chops and funny bone that we all know and love. Maybe live TV scares her or something. (Sunday 6 March 2016; 17:32)

Rivals J.Lo and Mariah now on the same record label (60,220) by Depora from USA Rivals? Love J.Lo as an entertainer and actor, but she does not rival Mariah. (Sunday 6 March 2016; 17:25)

LA and Epic (60,219) by darrian liu from taiwan I was hopeful and excited when Mariah returned to Sony because I thought she would be their priority as there were no big acts at the time in Epic (Meghan just had like, 2 hits and I expected her to be a 2-hit wonder). I still don't understand why LA wanted Mariah to just be a legacy act. The woman obviously still have hits in her. She looks youthful. Her voice is slowly rebounding. With more repair to her public image and adding more relatability to her public persona she could have a comeback as big as TEOM. Obviously other music executives think that way judging from that Billboard article. (Sunday 6 March 2016; 16:12)

Skits (60,218) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah should do one of these. It would go viral like her Carpool Karaoke. She should do more skits in general, like she did for E=MC2 and all. Show people her funny side. (Sunday 6 March 2016; 13:35)

Re: Uturn (60,214) (60,217) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Preach sister, preach. LA isn't even hiding his intention of turning Mariah into a legacy act. First releasing a greatest hits, then going on print saying it won't be easy (or possible) for Mariah to rule charts again and that he would like her to sing from the Old American Songbook. Hyping up "Infinity" as the modern day WBT. Look "Infinity" isn't as bad as I thought it was when I heard it first but is this the single one should chose when they are trying to make a comeback? Heck no. It should have been left as an album cut only. Then to put this along with her iconic #1 songs was the height of stupidity. If they wanted to add something to her #1's album it should have been a classic Mariah big ballad, or a classic Mariah hip-hop collaboration. These are the 2 things she is known most for.

MC's Facebook (60,216) by Gilles from Malta That's a bit weird that MC didn't post anything on Facebook for like 2 weeks, don't you think? Maybe something is coming soon or maybe my mind is interpreting again something that doesn't exist lol. Her last post was Dahlings. Anyway I hope deep inside that means something good. What do you think? (Sunday 6 March 2016; 7:12)

Re: Uturn (60,211) (60,214) by Amber C from USA That infinity song was a hot mess. It's the worst song she's ever sang. Ever. And all Mariah songs [...] good. She recorded it on LA's label huh? Can we spell sabotage? Lol. I feel she should switch labels or go independent tbh. Her husband has the money for that. Jk. Lol. I feel this red head has a horrible ear for music especially when [...] consider that other weak song/remix with French. Her "yes" girl Racine was there through the good ol' days. I hope Mariah comes to her sences. The moment she signed with that label I knew she went back to being a puppet. LA even approving Infinity, the album cover and the concept of another greatest hits made it seem like they wanted Mariah to transition into retirement. This is the truth don't deny it. (Sunday 6 March 2016; 5:35)

BET honors LA and Patti (60,212) by Lee TS from USA Hmmm, why was Mariah a no show? Just browsing and saw some pictures of Toni Braxton singing a tribute to LA. Ms. Braxton looked stunning by the way. I guess Mariah's not available or she hates your guts LA lol jk. Interesting. Or at least present the award to her godmother. I guess she couldn't be bothered. Oh, Lee Daniels is being honored too. Ok, that's definitely weird that Mariah is not in attendance. (Sunday 6 March 2016; 4:17)

Uturn (60,211) by George Golden from UK If only Mariah could make a song like ''Kiss me" by Olly Murs how won't she get a number one with a killer video? Seriously it's the material that has been weak. Her reluctance to change her style of music has locked her in a box. She needs to up her game, I believe she can still get more hits if she is serious. More sexy and classy videos, I said the word ''classy'' not "trashy''. She missed the chance with Infinity. What a let down to see that song on the same cd as her number ones. How bad was that song? And the video? She needs to decide if she wants to continue on that downward spiral or make a turn. We are not saying release a ballad we mean we need a serious hit that will hit hard that even if you don't like Mariah you will be grooving to the beat. Oh how I wish I could be her manager lol. She seriously need to step away from that kind of music that has infected her productivity like a virus. All that trying to be hood has past its sell by date. Just saying.

Re: Alleged track list from Beyoncé’s new album (60,210) by Lee TS from USA Adele on a song called Lemonade Taste? What does that even mean? It'll probably be more believable if 14 #1's was on that song with her, twerking it down. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 22:14)

Re: Alleged track list from Beyoncé's new album (60,206) (60,209) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I saw it circulating and I thought it was a hot mess. Even though the Mariah duet sounds like a women power anthem, which I have been dreaming of. But what are the odds that she will get both Mariah and Adele on the same album? If it's true, I am all up for it. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 21:27)

Re: Article: Mariah: "Elton John's commitment to charity is amazing" (60,189) (60,208) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped. I have someone really close to my heart that is self destructing and no matter how much I try to help, they go back to their self destructing ways. Mariah tried to help Alison many times and every time Alison went back to her self destructing ways. Alison is an adult, Mariah can't force her to do anything. But she tried to help only to have her go back to doing exactly what she needs to avoid. Mariah is a mother now, so she also has to take into consideration how Alison's behavior will affect her children. Mariah couldn't help Alison despite trying many times, but she did the next best thing. She helped Alison's son. She is still in good terms with him because she was seen with him after her divorce went public and then he came to defend her when Morgan started throwing stones at Mariah. So don't just call someone heartless without knowing about them. We don't know the extent to which Mariah helped her family and others close to her. Have you considered that she might have gone to support Elton's AIDs foundation because it is a cause that is close to her heart and home because of Alison? Also why so salty about her ring? It was a gift, she didn't choose to take the 10 million away from Alison and get herself a massive ring, someone gave it to her and I am sure he knows more about her heart than you and I would ever know.

One More Try (60,207) by Ben from Sweden Found this on YouTube, a smash between the voice of Mariah and George Michael - One More Try. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 20:08)

Alleged track list from Beyoncé’s new album (60,206) by 123 from USA So many topics to reply to but I haven't seen this at all yet. This is the supposed track list of Beyonce's Formation album and Mariah is listed on a track called "Women of the World". The release date is April 1st so I'm skeptical of its authenticity. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 19:09)

Positive and successful vibe for the coming era (60,205) by Malcolm from Asia I am looking forward to the time that these archive will be full of positive stories and comments; on how the new album affect and inspire us, how successful the album was, love how the singles are reaching the top 10, how great the music videos are and proud that it is not the typical Mariah Carey that we see and how we will be having a whole new level of appreciation for MC and how proud that we are united as lambily. I am crossing my fingers that all of these will happen. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 16:30)

Objectivity (60,204) by Manny from U.S. I haven't visited this site in months. I still have the same stance. I will recommend for certain people to look up what being objective means. Edward, thank you for always having a good insight on anything related to Mariah. I enjoy your posts. On the other hand, there are immature comments from people who dont have any objectivity on Mariah's career or personal choices. I have a question. Has anyone gotten the Vegas package to meet her? I'm trying to figure of its worth it. Is it only a meet and greet? Does she sign your mementos? (Saturday 5 March 2016; 13:56)

Re: I only wanted (60,198) (60,202) by B from USA Tommy. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 12:49)

Re: Honi soit qui mal y pense? (60,194) (60,201) by MC1989 from Spain Couldn't agree more. Some people love judging other's lives. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 11:57)

The Butterfly Room found (60,200) by Ben from Sweden Hey again. I found the address to "The Butterfly Room". It's not possible to navigate the site though, since it is shutdown and requires login for that. Only me who wanna see a revival of the forum? (Saturday 5 March 2016; 11:29)

Re: I only wanted (60,198) by Dennis from Miami, FL IOW is in my "Under the weather"playlist. It's definitely in my top 10 MC songs. I always wonder who the protagonist of the lyrics is. Is it Tommy, or Luis, or both of them? (Saturday 5 March 2016; 11:14)

Amsterdam, radio (60,197) by Ben from Sweden I was in Amsterdam for some time a couple of years ago, and I can tell you that they love Mariah there. Heard her constantly on the radio, even "Vision of Love" was played. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 11:00)

The Butterfly Room (60,196) by Ben from Sweden Does anyone know the web address that the forum "The Butterfly Room" had? It was something like "http://nextry..." I think. I want to check if it is archived on the internet archive/wayback machine. Wanna read some fun stuff. Please if you know the address let me know. Regards. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 10:54)

Re: JLo and Mariah "Epic" showdown (60,166) (60,195) by Licia from USA I'm still trying to catch up. Mimi L and Lee TS hit on some great points. I'll never take away the fact that Stella has helped Mariah bring in some extra money and endorsements (I'm super excited about the Essence Festival), I have yet to see what she has helped Mariah do as far as new music. Infinity doesn't count. In my mind it never happened. Lol. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 5:54)

Honi soit qui mal y pense? (60,194) by Andrew from UK Somebody's knowledge here of the difference between HIV and AIDS-related illnesses is wanton. I have no respect for ignorance. I take full advantage of free speech and, mostly begrudgingly, accept other points of view, whilst not respecting them. And, sometimes, I am fiercely critical and push people to their limit, also. But then there is actual vulgarity. Whilst not presuming myself the arbiter of righteousness (and sounding terribly British) the recent post about Mariah's "heartlessness" etc. is so ill-informed and without foundation I am embarrassed for the poster. I am sure there are some who would criticise me in the same manner so. But to my threshold: ill-informed and vulgar. "What a prick" came to mind. (Saturday 5 March 2016; 5:09)
