Good Morning Britain (52,602) by Luke from United Kingdom She's had an interview done for GMB which is probably going to be shown next week when her shows begin. This is the first type of promotion I've seen for her for a while for over here. This didn't happen when she was on the other label and the only other time she was featured was her lacklustre Christmas shows. She's interviewing really well, it puts a perspective on how muh she must have been dealing with just last year with her random/confused interviews. (Thursday 30 April 2015; 9:02)

Helicopter (52,601) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Just to clarify, there is no news or rumor about a helicopter in the music video, there never was. It was me who mentioned it in one of my posts and I was just making a wild guess. While making the guess I had the Honey remix video in mind and so I just wrote it. So yes, no helicopter scenes in the video that we know of. (Thursday 30 April 2015; 8:24)

Interviews (52,600) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter MDJ has posted the interview with mashable. It's the same one which Baby posted a while back, only this is not the periscope version. It's a proper camera version where you can see them conducting the interview with the iPhone on a selfie stick. Anyways that one is clearer and without interruptions. I am really loving how Mariah is being so sweet and composed in these videos. What a 180 from her Chanteuse interview days. (Thursday 30 April 2015; 8:22)

Infinity's chart status (52,599) by Ethan from United States As of now, it's #46 on the US iTunes chart. Hopefully, with radio additions and promotional performances, it will stay steady on charts and climb up. There's a difference between adding to radio and being receptive as well. Radio might end up not playing it if there's no request. It would make sense that Mariah will release the MV before or on the updated #1 to Infinity cd. There's no point to have the cd single and then the cd comes out and no music video. I hope to see the video before or on May 18. Maybe she'll premiere it as her backdrop during the Billboard Music Awards (if rumor is true). But I'd have to say that this single has much more momentum than TAOLG and YME. It has an edge over #Beautiful so I think it will do well, especially it sounds much better in the car. Haha. Quite a perfect move and timing as a summer anthem but I must say we have to be aware of Britney/Iggy's single coming out soon. Anyway, Infinity to #1. (Thursday 30 April 2015; 7:21)

My "Infinity" re-edit (52,598) by Skip from United States I can't even know what to say, lambs. I was so nervous to post my edit for fear that other fans might think, "What, he thinks he knows how Mariah's song should go? Isn't that up to Mariah?" Lol. Your overwhelmingly positive response has totally hit my sweet spot. Thank you for that. It's not even that I don't like the original version of the song because I do. I feel like the original is a car driving down a road, except it keeps making sharp turns and changing speeds and you're not sure where you're going. I just wanted to make the journey more smooth, if you will. Christopher, I'm glad you liked the second verse coming first. I feel an opening line of "How I say this?" is a better set up than "Name hold weight like kilos." But my main point was to put lyrics that were easier to understand first so the listener wouldn't tune out. Jono and Jake, glad you're feeling the outro. The original ended too abruptly for me. Rene, believe it or not, I use the audio track of my old iMovieHD program. I've made tons of non-stop DJ mixes using that program and a lot of cut and paste precision. Then I send it into GarageBand to turn it into an MP3. Thanks again, lambs. You made my night. (Thursday 30 April 2015; 3:44)

Still singing "Infinity" (52,597) by Ardis Logic from Earth Who's with me? "To infini-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee." I catch myself singing this through the day. The more I listen to it the more I love it. I can't wait to hear the way she sings it in Vegas (live version). (Thursday 30 April 2015; 3:39)

Licia, Infinity (52,595) by Ryan from Canada I respect you. You are very level headed. And I hope the other people on this board listen to what you said. I love infinity though there are a few parts of the song that I don't dont feel fit in. I don't like the solid whistle tone she hits near the end but I do like the fluttery whistles she hits right after. My husband says he can actually feel it vibrate at the back of his scull. Lol. I can't belive the lyrical video on YouTube has had so many views. This will definately chart well. I didn't see the Wendy Williams thing that made everyone view the video, can someone post it here? (Thursday 30 April 2015; 3:36)

Grand entrance / MIAMTEC mentions (52,594) by RJJ12 from USA Vegas really turned it out for her. 18 semi trucks with each number one on it, dancing kids to her classics, an announcer going over the stats of each song and the records she holds. I like how she was right behind the last hit and right on time for the festivities. I liked how close the fans could get to her and her whole Periscope deal, it was like you were riding along with her. (Thursday 30 April 2015; 3:35)

Deedre, B, and Abraham (52,593) by LC from USA Thank you guys so much for voting. Thanks to you and the lambs, my essay has gotten 284 votes and counting, and I'm so grateful to you all. I'm listening to When You Believe, Make It Happen, Heavenly, Hero, 100 Percent, Right To Dream, and Through The Rain on repeat right now. Thank you guys. And a very special thank you to the webmaster for allowing me to post this. (Thursday 30 April 2015; 3:27)

Re-Edit (52,592) by RJJ12 from USA Great re-edit. You actually gave the song proper structure. Even though I don't care for the song, your re-edit gives it s different feel. (Thursday 30 April 2015; 3:21)

Oh Mariah (X-Tina Voice) (52,591) by Giselle #1 Mariah Critic from USA That see through dress was a big no no. Way to boxy in the middle, it was a no. I don't know how she could say in a article "I'm a real person, I'm trying, it is what it is" on her weight. I know that feeling and so does lots of people. But own it, stop trying to fool the world with pictures that don't even look nothing like you. But I guess we're supposed to believe #1 To Infinity was also shot let me guess 2012 before her arm accident. In other great news, I love the new song and I want to know what's going on with Mariah and Rachel? "Ain't none of my business, but it's just Tea". Lol. Rachel usually is right there wherever Mariah is. *Sips tea* (Thursday 30 April 2015; 2:56)

Numbers (52,590) by Darryle from USA Just thought I'd share the stats of Infinity so far. The YouTube views on the video are 1,727,653. On the U S. iTunes chart it sits at #42. It's dropped 2 positions since I last checked about an hour ago. The song has 50,655 streams on Spotify. So far the numbers are looking pretty good. I think the song has a good chance of charting within the top 40. Keep up the good work lambs. (Thursday 30 April 2015; 2:43)

Abraham / my thoughts (52,589) by Edward from USA Abraham, I hadn't conveyed my feelings on "Infinity" because I honestly didn't even know what to say. I listened to it and I was like: What the hell just happened? For some strange reason I felt like listening to "Don't Forget about Us" after. I gave it a few more plays and I still wasn't feeling it. It's definitely not single material. The production is messy as if it was a rushed project. "Infinity" doesn't flow smoothly, the different takes are evident. By no setting high expectations I guess I thought I would be pleasantly surprised, but I wasn't. She picks one song, just one song to be added to a collection of #1 hits, and that song comes out to be just a filler. For the remixes I hope she doesn't default to the rap formula, there are many great artist she could collaborate with. I hate to say it, but "Triumphant" vintage remix is way better than "Infinity". I wasn't expecting perfection, but I wasn't expecting mediocrity either. I'm happy to know though that non-fans seem to like the song. I hope she cracks the Billboard top 15, but unlike other times I'm not checking on iTunes or on the charts. I won't force myself to like something that I don't obviously like just because it is a Mariah's song. (Thursday 30 April 2015; 2:38)

LC (52,588) by RJJ12 from USA I voted for your essay. I hope you get the financing you need. That's been an issue for me as well. I have student loans that total up to a brand new luxury car. My only incentive to go to grad school is just to defer my payments. I might just take some online classes at my old community college because the cost is so inexpensive. With two degrees I don't feel like a third will really help but put me more in debt - lol. (Thursday 30 April 2015; 2:06)

Mirage (52,587) by Randy from USA There's no way she won't be lip syncing. I called that a long time ago. In fact what you asked for, is exactly what she will be doing. I wish she would re-arrange her songs more with unplugged, sparse arrangements that she could sing in lower keys to fit her current voice. An emotional, beautiful show would be nice. But that's not MC and that's definitely not Vegas. (Thursday 30 April 2015; 1:58)

Just wondering (52,586) by Abraham from USA Where is Edward? I'd like to know his thoughts on "Infinity". (Thursday 30 April 2015; 0:56)

You all are funny (52,585) by Licia from USA So it's not ok to call the people who like Infinity blind, but it's ok to call the people who don't like the song haters? How is that fair? You can't demand that people respect you and your opinions if you are doing the same thing. We all have the right to express our opinions without all the name calling. (Thursday 30 April 2015; 0:25)

LC / Skip / genuine question (52,584) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada LC, I voted for your essay. Cheers to you for putting yourself out there. I just applied to go back to Grad school, so I can relate. Keep us posted. Skip, I love your edit so much. Thank you for sharing your talents. I was thinking about this earlier when I read a post by a longtime poster here. My intentions and my question is completely genuine, I'm not singling anyone out or labeling anyone a "bad fan" I'm just really curious. If you are someone who is really frustrated with the music Mariah has released over the last few years, annoyed, irked, disappoined, upset or angry with the way she carries herself, what she does, what she says, her voice, ect, then what is in it for you? If any of the above is genuinely where you are at with things, isn't it complete and total unpleasant torture? (Thursday 30 April 2015; 0:03)

Request (52,577) by LC from USA (52,583) by B from USA LC, I voted for you. I hope you win. Like Mariah always says, all things are possible if you believe. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 23:34)

I'll be there (52,582) by Bill from the UK Oh my days. I'll Be There is literally on the radio (Smooth FM) as I type this. She sounds so good on the airwaves. Unplugged is my favourite album and I'll Be There is of course a favourite. Her version just eclipses the original in so many ways. Oh this is heaven. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 23:29)

Skips re-edit to Infinity (52,581) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa After many listens today, I can't stop with the praise. This version enhances the power behind this song. The musicality of it makes so much sense and you can hear the crescendos and the climaxes, the instrumentation is beautiful in your version. It really tells a story this way and it even has dynamics that I think get lost in the released version. I really hope someone gets ahold of your mix and it gets out there. I'll say it again, anyone that wasn't into the original, this is like a totally different song. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 23:23)

LC (52,580) by Abraham from USA No problem friend. I just voted. It said that you know have 79 votes. I'm going to go ahead and read your essay because I love reading them. I hope you get more votes. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 22:59)

Vegas residency setlist (52,579) by Ethan from United States Does it mean that she will only sing 19 songs? It sounds like it from the interviews, chronologically order and ends with Infinity. I hope she will incorporate some acoustic versions and Can't Let Go in first segment with the first 4 #1s. She loves that song and it's one of her old hits besides Vision Of Love and Emotions that she sang live recently. We haven't heard I Don't Wanna Cry and Someday since early 90s. I just hope the show is a bit longer with a few more songs. But looking at the title of show, it sounds like #1s to Infinity. The end. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 22:50)

Skip - edit (52,578) by Rene from US I love your edit also. I like how you made the second verse the first and vice versa. I like how you made the outro different. I'm wondering: what program did you use to edit the song? I have my picture of Mariah and The Rock. I hope Mariah finds a man like that. The Rock is mature, noble and handsome. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 21:49)

Request (52,577) by LC from USA Hi everyone, this is LC. This post has nothing to do with Mariah but I just wanted to ask you all for a huge favor. I'm going to college next year and I need scholarship money to help pay for tuition. If you have the time, please go to this website to vote for my essay. The deadline to vote is tomorrow (May 1) and though they do select an additional 10 candidates besides the top 10 most voted for, every vote helps. Please help a lamb out if you can and vote for my essay. Thank you all to Infinity. I hope we can Make It Happen. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 21:45)
