The weight issue / MC needs a stylist? (52,513) by Ardis Logic from Earth They asked Mariah about how she was getting in shape for her shows. She replied "I've been trying to get there. I'm a regular person. It is what it is." That's funny that she called herself a "regular person". I think she looks beautiful, and I love that she is loving/accepting herself. The only thing I would change is her choice of dresses. I really wish that she would let Stacey London be her stylist because she would truly make MC look amazing no matter what size she is. Personally I was not really feeling the nude dress she wore last night. IMO it just did not flatter her body very well. But I love you MC no matter what. You gonna do what you do.

Even though I try, I can't let go (52,512) by Marissa from USA My number one issue with the song is how awkward and strained the vocals are. It's a tragedy to hear how her voice has deteriorated from WBT to now. If it's to the point where they are piecing together what seems like 25 different takes to make a song, it really is bad. How the hell is she ever gonna sing a song like this live? It's team too much overall. A singer of MC's caliber putting out some s*** like this is and thinking that it compares to her other #1s is "corny like fritos". I understand that some of you want to be encouraging, but even if you enjoy this song anyone with an ear knows that it doesn't hold a candle to her other #1s. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 2:14)

Infinity (52,511) by SM from Citizen of the World I didn't know what to think of infinity until now, and I love it, it grew on me and its non stop playing in my head and my lame boyfriend keeps singing it at random times today and he's so not a MC fan hahaha. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 2:13)

Video re: Mimi L (52,510) by Ardis Logic from Earth Yeah I bet you are right. Even MC kinda seems a little disappointed when she said it. I get the feeling if it was up to her it would have been done. It could be a schedule conflict. Who knows. It's always something. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 2:01)

Interviews (52,508) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I have been seeing the interviews from Vegas that are popping up and I am happy with the way Mariah is presenting herself. She is calm, composed, answering questions properly and very articulate with her answers. No random ramblings, no going off topic, no ditzy diva moments. She sounds professional and in control. The voice being tired may be because she was probably stressed the night before about the release and then stayed up all night watching the world react to her creation and then prep and be ready for a major event in the evening, while simultaneously looking over the progress of her upcoming show. Anyways I love that she went something like "18 #1's not everyone has them" and kept a straight face instead of doing the usual move she does when she says something like that (which is tilt her head down, looking away and hiding her face with hair while running her fingers through her hair). She's owning up to her legendary status haha. Also this is better than her going "you know about the record, I can't say it but you know" and then getting upset when an interviewer doesn't know she is hinting at breaking Elvis's record. And can we just talk about how gorgeous she looked in the black dress and that awesome hair? I also liked how she responded to somethings head on. Like her vocal issue (where she keeps a straight face and invites people to sing in the shower with her), then about her body (where she says she is trying to get there) and also about the failure of MIAM (where she says that it's not a good idea to give an album to the label you are leaving because they don't have an incentive to support you and also that if the label doesn't back you up and the project is not promoted 100%, it won't do good). (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 1:53)

Video (52,507) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think chances of the video being released before the end of this week are low. I was hoping for it too, but MC said they just filmed initial parts of the video and that Ratner is in L.A. I don't know how long it takes to edit a music video but I don't want a rush job. I think it was better they released the lyric video first (even though it is quite a sloppy visual), because she sings fast and the lyric video is kind of prepping the listeners to sing along with the song and secondly the funny lyrics is what is making the song go semi-viral. So I think they wanted to focus on it. I do wonder why only clips from Honey was used in it. Hint? The parts of the video shown in Vegas had MC looking gorgeous but I do hope the talk about stunts are true and the whole video is not of her sitting on a chaise lounge.

Infinity stays in my head (52,506) by Ardis Logic from Earth All through the day I have had this song in my head. I love it. Anyone else experiencing this? (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 1:27)

Infinity (52,505) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter After giving it a few spins, I am now happy to say that I love, yes love (not just like) the song. I also take back what I said about the ending, it goes on nice. I think maybe the vocals (that some are complaining about) were left that way to express raw emotions. Anyways I am loving the song, playing it on repeat. A little disheartened to hear that the video is not done yet, and that the song is falling down iTunes charts, but still happy and content. I hope MC goes all out with this single. B, what you said about the return of Agent M, I hope that happens. Honey has always been a favorite video of mine. Anyone else tried getting that swim scene on point? (Obviously not jumping from a 2 storey building.) (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 1:20)

Video not done yet? Unorganized? (52,504) by Ardis Logic from Earth Some of you have said that you are worried/upset that the video is not ready yet. I agree. It seems that the video being released at the same time would have been the best move to help the song move up the charts. Especially if it is quite entertaining like "Touch My Body" was. Why does it seem like things are always so unorganized with MC's last few releases? Oh well, it is what it is. I just hope we get the video as soon as possible. Before the end of the week would be great. Otherwise once it is finally released there will be a loss of interest. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 1:18)

Re: Voice by JC from UK (52,503) by Ardis Logic from Earth Yes I also noticed her voice is a little scratchy. Hopefully these next few days MC can just relax and take it easy and rest her voice as much as possible. I wonder if she still uses the humidifiers to help her voice? I wonder what other things she does to help her voice if she does anything? (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 1:06)

Vegas (52,502) by B from USA I just ordered a fourth ticket to the May 9th concert. I'm going with my identical twin brother, his wife, and my little sister. I'm excited. By the way, there was hardly any tickets left for the May 9th show. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 0:25)

Infinity (52,501) by B from USA I think the fact that clips from the Honey video were used for the lyric video is a hint that the video for Infinity is going to be Honey part two. Maybe Agent M escaping a ruthless ex boss/thug. I just know that's what the video is about. Imagine how well the song would do if that was the accompanying video. (Tuesday 28 April 2015; 23:21)

The existence of Infinity (52,500) by Andrew from UK After several tries, ambivalence still. The beginning and ending are musical theatre and genius. However the R&B boring "you make me feel"-esque stuff is so out of date. And the voice does sound really arid, autotuned and chopped. But it's not the production that sucks, it's actuakly kinda theatrical and unique sounding. What sucks is the melody and lyrics and the need for Mariah to try to be clever in every song. Why can't a great, accessible pop song arise? Why does every song need about fifty melodies tacked on to each other? Maybe to hide the voice. It seems even big fans now aren't hearing what they used to hear. And everyone is cringing at lyrics including "Fritos". And the morality of the song: dissing your so-called baby-daddy? One disastrous decision after another, indulging a singer who is too aloof and arrogant to question why all record labels eventually get pissed off. Yet I don't hate it. I don't. It's confusing me. But I don't like it. It think, maybe, it just exists. [Webmaster: We were al wondering, what took you so long before you write another negative message?] (Tuesday 28 April 2015; 21:36)

Infinity (52,499) by B from USA Was played on my local radio station and in two days the lyric video already has over a million views. I think it's going to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 next week in the Top 10 from sales, views, and streams. I really think this single has the potential to become her 19th #1. I think it's weird that non fans are loving the song and fans are hating it and nitpicking. I swear some of you people are never happy with anything she releases. (Tuesday 28 April 2015; 21:24)

Vegas show (52,498) by enwar00 from usa I must see this show. Hearing her talk about how she's going to perform the #1s chronologically to show her progression as an artist and end with Infinity really made me excited. (Tuesday 28 April 2015; 20:55)

Re: Lee TS (52,497) by Jono from USA Thank you so much for posting that interview. Mariah looks absolutely stunning and she was giving me TEOM vibes, but as an elegant and mature 45 year old. It seems that whatever has been bothering her the last year has settled down, and we're seeing the "fun diva" again as opposed to just diva. Mariah has always let her music do the talking when it comes to personal issues, so I think Infinity really helped her move forward with the next stage of her career. It's about having to love yourself first and foremost, so I see this song as her emerging from 2014 and telling people, once again, to never count her out. I know a lot of fans including myself were disappointed at first with the song, but sometimes we need to let Mariah do her. Infinity is perfect for her at the moment. She's given us 25 years of music and will give us another 25. Like she said, it's a clean slate and new chapter. Very happy for her. (Tuesday 28 April 2015; 20:50)

Help (52,496) by Nick from USA So can somebody just put all of the new interviews into one post because there is so much to catch up with (Tuesday 28 April 2015; 20:47)

Licia / Infinity (52,495) by Stacey from USA I know you do. I realized after I posted my response I pretty much repeated myself again. Sorry. I didn't get my expectations up for this song and so when it dropped, I wasn't that disappointed. (Tuesday 28 April 2015; 20:38)

Carey scope (52,494) by Ardis Logic from Earth First of all I love the car, wow. I don't think I have ever seen a video shot by MC. It was hilarious. She looks like such a fun person to be around. Ryan was a lucky guy. It's funny she said "they told me not to be a B I T C H to you." Haha I love it. (Tuesday 28 April 2015; 20:36)

19th #1 (52,492) by NHYTG from nyc I think all this talk about a 19th #1 is premature. Let's not forget where she came from recently: Japan, Rockefeller and Jamaica have given her the worst press ever. People need to know that the voice is still there, she should sing Infinity live in some talkshows to regain credability. Maybe a great performance at the Billboard Music Awards? Still playing Infinity over and over, still growing on me. (Tuesday 28 April 2015; 20:29)

Interview with Robin (52,491) by Ardis Logic from Earth Thank you for posting the video. I really enjoyed seeing her talk about her babies. Being a mom is such an amazing experience, and that will always be there bringing her joy. Her face just lit up when she started talking about them. I like how she referenced The Beatles in the interview also. Very cool. Sending lots of love and luck to MC in Vegas. She looks stunning as always. If I could I would totally go see her in Vegas. (Tuesday 28 April 2015; 20:28)

I'm just not feeling this song (52,490) by Abraham from USA I was expecting something amazing like "Mine again" or "Don't forget about us". "Infinity" sounds tacky and below someone like Mariah. I just can't believe anyone from Sony would think it could be a hit. And I'm seeing people here giving it praise like it's the best Mariah has given. I hope Mariah can write something better and more mature. Please work with Sia or back with JD. It's normal for fans not to like every single thing an artist releases. But when their team hypes something up, people will end up feeling disappointed. I want the Mariah who wrote songs like "Can't let go" or "Don't forget about us". She's entitled to make the music she wants to make. But if it's going to be songs like "Infinity" I won't be buying the music anymore. I hope to all that is holy that she does okay in Vegas. (Tuesday 28 April 2015; 20:10)

Voice (52,489) by JC from UK Anyone else notice how tired and hoarse Mariah's voice is sounding? Maybe its because of rehearsals, hopefully she's not coming down with something again like the first stages of MIAMTEC tour. I really wonder if she's going to sing these songs live and not just revert back to her usual ways of lipping the big notes. Not really sure how Infinity will go down live but I'll be waiting and cheering her on. Wish I had the chance to go to see her residency. (Tuesday 28 April 2015; 20:04)

Poor Mariah, to infinity and beyond (52,488) by IheartMC from USA Firstly, I want to say I am a super lamb. Love me some MC through the good and bad. Now I don't love Infinity quite yet but I do like the song. It's one of those songs that will grow on you which I actually prefer. I understand she is giving something more current and it's a blend of old school and new school Mariah. I was somehow hoping for a killer dance track with sick vocals but somehow I don't think she is done yet. I am sure she has some remixes under her sleeve to please everyone. How much you want to bet song once promoted will become a hit. It may not be a number 1 song but it will be a moderate hit because there is simply no one else who has this sound on the radio right now. Kudos to her for achieving that at least. I love that she does not try to follow trends. She simply does what she loves. You have to factor now Mariah has nothing to prove anymore. She already collected records and broke several others. She is a legend and that cannot be taken away from her. Just simply enjoy this new chapter and era in her life. I for one am just appreciating that our favorite diva is still releasing new music when she could have simply retired after the way the media has been treating her as of late. Love you Mariah and long live the new era. (Tuesday 28 April 2015; 19:53)

Undone mv (52,487) by Malcolm from Asia I'm disappointed when Mimi says the music video for Infinity is still in the works. I thought they planned it for a long time, they shoot and finish it ahead of the release of Infinity. I wish the mv will don't look in hurry shooting it and making it like the lyric video. If the mv is already done, it will be helpful boost the sale of Infinity this week. But as we are saying on this board, what do we know? Maybe this is planned, I hope so.
