Can't Let Go mic feed MTV Unplugged (53,691) by Warrior Butterfly from USA This sounds so good. (Saturday 23 May 2015; 0:20)

Re: Infinity remix / 2015 a cappella (53,690) by NYHotShotta from USA I agree, I would like an old school feel for the Infinity remix, maybe sing it with Faith Evans or SWV with an 80's or 90's hip-hop or r&b sample. Also check out a new cappella from this year. (Saturday 23 May 2015; 0:06)

B (53,689) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I'm not sure if you are addressing me with your last post or not (lol). But just to clarify I actually wasn't referencing Mariah. I just read her article welcoming Mariah to Vegas and was making an observation about Celine. My intention wasn't to underhandedly judge Mariah. Or make any sort of underhanded insulting comment about shade. We're all capable of dishing it. Now I kinda wish I had rephrased what I said. (lol) (Friday 22 May 2015; 23:57)

Who should MC do "Infinity" remix with? (53,688) by Ardis Logic from Earth I think she should go "old school". Forget trying to appeal to the teenage crowd. Grown ass folks buy music too. I say maybe do it with Missy Elliot, Salt & Pepa, Queen Latifa, or even MC Lite. That would be hot tamale. If only Lisa Left Eye Lopes was still alive, I would suggest her too.

Mimi in Vegas (53,687) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's funny how before she started her shows, the whole world was so sure that midway her residency will be cancelled and every article printed from the time she announced her residency, up until the opening night had a certain para with something along the lines of "meanwhile tickets for Mariah's Vegas residency are having sales way below expectation" or "her Vegas residency tickets are have disappointing sales" and the moment she got on stage on the first night, people just had to sit down and shut up. Her shows are sold out, she sounds amazing and now instead of being cancelled, her shows are being extended. Then it's also hilarious how Wendy's poll (even though it's a small example) showed how the vast majority chose Mariah over Britney (Britney's votes were less than half of Mariah's) and JLo got only one vote. Goes on to show that real talent conquers all. (Friday 22 May 2015; 23:47)

Mariah's performance on Live with Kelly & Michael (53,686) by Ardis Logic from Earth I love this performance. Very simply done. Grand piano and back up singers. Gotta give love to the back up singers. They are amazing. Awesome. We love you Mariah. (Friday 22 May 2015; 23:42)

Infinity remix (53,685) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So while we wait for the video to drop and since there is no current schedule promo, I'd like to know that if there is an Infinity remix, who would you like Mariah to collaborate with? I think due to the content of the song, it would be best if she collaborates with a female artist (getting their women empowerment on), but I want to know which artist (male or female) would you like to be featured on the remix? (Friday 22 May 2015; 23:39)

Mariah on Live with Kelly & Michael (53,683) by Ardis Logic from Earth Another great interview. MC is so sweet and so real. I love her. I kind of sense some chemistry between MC and Michael, anyone else pick up on that? Woohoo. No seriously though, I love seeing M on tv and giving great new interviews. I am loving this era. (Friday 22 May 2015; 23:36)

The current adventures of Mimi (53,682) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This is such an amazing time to be a lamb. We all have collectively gone through a very disappointing few years (not because of her musical ability, that is flawless) due to various things going wrong in MC's professional life and eventually her personal life. We all struggled with her and we alternatively supported her and complained, but now we are being rewarded. Mariah is finally giving us everything we have been wanting, one step at a time and I couldn't be happier. She is in great shape vocally and her live performances are getting better with each show and she is slowly getting back her onstage confidence and taking risks, improvising as she goes. The world is again in awe of this amazing voice of an angel. She deserves every praise she is getting. Sometimes when I look at the comments below her articles being mean and harsh, I used to feel bad but now I don't care, because there will always be haters, even for the most popular current star. I don't care because Mariah is giving it her all, coming with guns blazing, and nothing else matters. She is receiving critical acclaims left and right. I love her new personality, its not a drastic change. She is still the same MC, but with a few tweaks here and there, keeping the humor at right level, professional responses in check, sounding more human (less untouchable diva) thanks to her interviews detailing how she has suffered. I really have no complaints about her at the moment. Yes, if she would get a better stylist, I could die in peace but as of now, if this is the trade off (great performance vocally and her current persona over some questionable fashion choices), I will happily overlook the fashions faux pas. I won't even complain if she doesn't get a lot of commercial success right now. I can see that from her side she did everything, so I will be happy with whatever is the result. Do I want another major comeback? Yes of course and few days back I was going on and on about how I need MC to be back on the charts, but now I am fine if it doesn't happen. Our girl gave it her all. This is not to say that she can't have another huge comeback. I think she is more than capable of getting huge success, and can really show the current lot who the boss is. I just want to thank Mariah for making the changes she did. A little change goes a long way. Look at what her image had turned into just 365 days back and look at her now. Keep slaying them Mimi.

Mariah on Fallon full interview (53,681) by Ardis Logic from Earth Found this on Youtube for anyone who might have missed it. Very interesting interview. She gives major respect to Aretha Franklyn. I think she came off very likeable in this one even funny. I love it. (Friday 22 May 2015; 23:24)

Shade (53,680) by B from USA Mariah has never given shade that was deserved. It doesn't matter if Jennifer Lopez or Nikki Minja knew what was going on behind the scenes or not. Ariana has built her whole career on being the new Mariah. She started her music career by covering Emotions. She may have an impressive voice but MC is more than a voice. She writes and produces her music and at age 21 she could sing that poor little girl under the table. Let's not forget that both Christian Aguilera and Jessica Simpson were also called the next Mariah. I've never heard Mariah talk badly about someone that didn't deserve it. (Friday 22 May 2015; 22:36)

Celine Dion (53,679) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I have never heard her utter an unkind word to anyone. For me, that's the only way to live. There's no need to dwell on negativity. It serves nothing, except to create unhappiness. I remember someone put her on the spot about Britney's residency in Vegas, and lipsyncing. It was a video about lipsyncing in general and how it is used in the industry with dancing and theatrics, and she was like "Who cares? Just enjoy the show." I loved it. Nobody can force someone to buy a ticket to see a show. Instead of judging someone for what they choose to do in their life experience, put on the CD at home. (Friday 22 May 2015; 22:25)

Improvement (53,678) by cherbette from usa In recent, seems like there is much improvement in Mariah's belting. Sounds like she may be using a vocal coach? Has Mariah ever had proper vocal training? I've always wondered that. I know Cyndi and Cher and a few others have admitted to doing so. I've never heard Mariah talk about it. I am, however, just the casual fan. I've grown up listening to her and admiring her voice. (Friday 22 May 2015; 22:00)

Celine Dion (53,677) by B from USA Mariah has used humidifiers for years. I believe it was Luther Vandross that gave her the suggestion. She sleeps in a room full of humidifiers. (Friday 22 May 2015; 21:42)

Dennis (from Ukraine) (53,676) by ktktkt from Philippines Oh thanks. We also have that kind of show in the Philippines (called "Your face sounds familiar") where it's more of a "visual" show because they tend to copy the "looks" only and not the voice of the artist. But this woman from that show (in Georgia) must be really talented (vocally) because I watched some of her impersonations on that show and I was impressed. We have our Mariah impersonator in "Your face sounds familiar" but I got furious because the participant makes her Mariah impersonation laughable and far from Mariah sound and looks (though she can sing). Baby, well, for the show where the "goal" is to just impersonate, the girl did a pretty impressive job compared to other version of that show in other countries. And also, her runs/melismas kinda close to Nippy/MC. And it's the closest I heard. I heard karaoke versions in YouTube (Lisa Lavie and some others doing note by note Mariah cover and they don't even come close) that's for me is impressive because Mariah voice is impossible to be duplicated. And of course, I don't want a copy cat in the real business (hi Ariana Grande, that's why I'm not a fan of that girl). That show's purpose is to impersonate and that woman did an amazing job. (Friday 22 May 2015; 21:34)

Bino / Live with Kelly & Micheal (53,675) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Lea Salonga is an excellent example. I enjoy her. Thought Mariah was simply lovely on the show today. And wow to the dress. (Friday 22 May 2015; 20:33)

Infinity (53,674) by Malcolm from Asia I'm so happy that as of now, Infinity climb to the 100 bracket in iTunes chart. I wish it will continue to climb and boost up to the top 50 again. As for her performances, I'm so very happy because it is fantastic, I think if she will perform more and more, the rawness of her voice will eventually be back and I hope Mariah will follow Celine's advice about the humidifier (please someone correct me if she is using it already). About the music video, has someone any updates about it? The long wait must be over but I think she will release it on May 27 as the 1 month of Infinity. Have a nice day Lambily. (Friday 22 May 2015; 20:22)

Re: Baby (53,673) by Bino from Spot-on observations, Baby. I don't know why is that either. Perhaps because of almost 400 years of colonialization by Spain, US, and Japan? So we try to aspire to be like the "other"? I love karaoke too, but I never attempt to sing Mariah's songs. A lot of big names in the Philippine music industry follow Mariah's style. But there are still plenty who have their own individuality and musicality. Off the top of my head: Lea Salonga, Dulce, Aiza Seguerra, Sharon Cuneta (80s). Sorry a little off-topic. New to this board. (Friday 22 May 2015; 20:07)

Baby from Sweden (Pinoy) (53,672) by juan from Dubai The impression Mimi/Nippy was not a Filipino show. But regarding your comment, Pinoy culture is rich but the popular culture is more money-generating, so emulating who are really popular is the business which goes back to the 50's and went on as US Marines who are in the PH and are needing entertainment imitating their home country. Saying that, late 80's and 90's were the days of diva-power-belting, like Mariah, Celine, Whitney, who are the supremes and extremely successful, are the measure of real singing and success shaping the culture of what we are seeing now everywhere.

Very happy (53,671) by SM from Citizen of the World With everything Mariah and her team has been up to promoting her. And her voice, so in love the past week with her performances. I just think if #1 To Infinity had two new songs, like a more uptempo summer song she would be even hotter now on the charts and airplay, but I get the whole #1 To infinity and VOL to Infinity, I just think she needs another pow solo uptempo friendly song and she would be so hot like fire. (Friday 22 May 2015; 19:19)

ktktkt and my impression (53,670) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Honestly, it's not stellar. Neither the Nippy or Mimi impressions were anything to write home about. But: Yay for effort. The gratuitous hologram of M was on point though, pointless, but on point. BTW, what is the back story to why the Pinoy have such love of extreme karaoke? It's a pity so much emphasis is placed on emulation of great singers rather than the development of individual quirks, tones and musicality. It's very obviously not for lack of talent. Maybe I'm just not exposed to the right Filipino artists but that's been my impression so far. Am I making any sense? (Friday 22 May 2015; 18:26)

Kelly and Michael and Infinity (53,669) by enwar00 from usa I thought that performance was so good, Mariah and company sounded really nice, I dug the outdoor atmosphere and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Bravo to the extra effort being put forth. It's making a difference as it's not going unnoticed. Also, the ending of Infinity where the music breaks down and she sings "I believe infinity is more than just a made up dream" twice and does the whistle is so emotional to me. Does anyone else feel that? I feel the emotion from her and with the sound of the violin I really like that. (Friday 22 May 2015; 17:35)

ktktkt (53,668) by Dennis from Miami, FL It's taken from the Georgian version of Your Face Sounds Familiar franchise. On a side note. Similar number was done on the Russian version, the only difference was that Whitney was the hologram. The Russian girl who did that is a close friend of Walter A., it's quite possible they've had a fling. (Friday 22 May 2015; 16:26)

Impressive Mariah/Whitney impersonation (53,667) by ktktkt from Philippines It's a spot on impersonation. Anyone knows the singer or what show this is? (Friday 22 May 2015; 15:52)

TGIFY (53,666) by B from USA Mariah performing TGIFY at the Vegas show was a highlight for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the Vegas show. (Friday 22 May 2015; 15:46)
