"I Still Believe (Eve of Soul Remix)" live (53,530) by Billy from Greece Oh my goodness. Now that's a remix I never thought I would hear her do live, even as a snippet. Gorgeousness. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 14:54)

Re: B LA (53,529) by Cgee54 from Usa I disagree. I think LA was being honest and realistic. Elena summarize LA words to some extent, "There is something really wrong with the attitude of the youth from this generation." Look at Kylie Jenner, sadly she represents what teens are doing to legends and icons sleeping on them. The radio is hardly even playing these icons in fear of losing their young core listeners. I for once would love to hear the American book in Mariah voice a la Toni Bennett. It shouldn't be about the hits it should be about making good quality music that will last the one hit wonders.

L.A. Reid (53,527) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The man has me worried. Although he did say there are still many things Mariah can do, but the things he mentioned will forever push Mariah to the "old" category. Which is something I am sure MC wouldn't want, plus to say that another #1 is unrealistic so openly was bad too, I mean does he have to say that to the media? It portrays a bad image that he thinks MC can no longer get a #1. With the right promotion and a good song anyone can really get a #1 now as long as the song goes viral. So I didn't like what he said. Anyways he might however be doing something tricky. Usually Mariah's releases have high expectations because of her previous track record so people get disappointed easily, like what happened to me this time, I had such high expectations for "Infinity", but got disappointed when it released, but thankfully I ended up loving it in a few days. So maybe L.A. is lowering people's expectations to hit them with a massive album and all the talks about covers and duets are maybe so that her fans start petitioning against it and demanding original materials. So I am hoping this is his attempt to lower expectations to later hit them with a hit and that he doesn't really mean what he is saying now. Fingers crossed for this being a publicity stunt.

Mariah Billboards (53,526) by Aaron from UK I'm confused, did Mariah just perform and leave? I can't find no pics of her with anyone else etc. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 14:31)

Jimmy Kimmel (53,525) by Lee TS from USA Full performance of the mini concert captured by a fan. And the full interview with Jimmy. Yay, tens across the board. Mariah has her talk show game on. I'm loving the interview, she's being light, funny, poking fun and in on the jokes. I've missed this so much from her. Totally selfish now but she needs to go on Corden, bid farewell to Letterman, and fake laugh it up with Fallon. Kimmel was a slam dunk. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 14:12)

J.Lo (53,524) by Bill from the UK In this day and age who can be away from their smartphone for more than 30 minutes. I don't think J.Lo was deliberately being rude, certainly her applause seemed enthusiastic and she was clearly nodding her head to the beat which would indicate she was into it. The Loverboy debacle was 15 years ago, everyone's moved on, particularly J.Lo and Mariah. Really excited for the video, loved the clip on Ellen and Mariah looked fantastic. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 13:38)

L.H. (53,523) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She also sang "We Belong Together", "Always Be My Baby" and a snippet of "The Roof", yes "The Roof" but those weren't aired either and it's not new. From what I gathered, they air 1 and 1/2 or 2 performances and they sometimes air other performances on other nights or on YouTube. We know obviously that VOL and "Infinity" were chosen to air first because it is her first and last single to date. Plus, she is promoting the latter and also both kind of show the beginning to current position of her career. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 13:33)

Jimmy Kimmel (53,522) by Will from England Perfect performance. Better than the BBMAs. She belted out the last part of VOL like it was nothing, and the high note at the end of Infinity was most certainly live. Did she have some backing track? Yes. Was it 90% live? Yes. Overall, her voice is better than what it was a few months ago. It sounds thicker and rich, compared to how it sounded thin and stuck in a high part of her chords. I don't know the terminology, I'm no expert. Side note, I laughed at the Infinity clip. It was just too funny, with her slamming the door on all those guys. I think the video is going to be the tongue-in-cheek video like TMB. Also, her response to "Do you watch Wives With Knives" was perfect. A good start to the week. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 13:12)

Where's the video? (53,521) by Lara from Middle East Enough with the teasing, drop it. They hyped it so much so I hope it's worth the wait. Finally I've heard Infinity on the car radio here at 4:00 am. She posted on instagram her singing Touch My Body on the Kimmel mini concert (and Roc is so cute clinging to his mom) but I have seen her video where she sang the same medley of the BBMAs (only much better) and no Touch My Body, so I'm confused. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 12:08)

Re: B LA (53,520) by Xavier Peoples from United States B, I totally agree with you. LA sounded so negative in that interview. I would be so disappointed if Mariah did a duets or covers album. That would be so lame. She needs to wait until she's like 60 to do some mess like that. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 11:16)

Video release (53,518) by Lee from UK What is with the massive build-up to the Infinity video release? I wouldn't mind if it was a good song but I am just not feeling it. Sony have their act together with promotion at least. I've seen more of Mariah in the last few weeks than I have in the last 5 years in the British media which is a bonus. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 10:17)

Jono (53,517) by Elena from The Netherlands You really took the words out of my mouth. There is something really wrong with the attitude of the youth from this generation. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 8:54)

Correction (53,516) by Musti from UK I take back what I said about Jennifer Lopez yesterday. She is still deceitful and pointless as ever. I'm not sure why she's in a room full of singers and artists. She's never been either. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 8:13)

Kimmel (53,515) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Woah she blew my hair away with the VOL performance and this time the transition from VOL and "Infinity" was so smooth and all the time she was so relaxed and she was interacting with the audience. My gosh, people should be exposed to this Mariah. Oh and bonus, this time she did the "punching" dance moves at the end of infinity. I love how she hugs herself during "loving me more and more", it's so cute. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 6:39)

LA Reid (53,514) by Lee TS from USA The man worries me. I can't quite put my finger on it but there's something about him that just seems sketchy. He gave Billboard an interview and said for radio to just play M is already winning to which I agree. But I don't know, he is very hit or miss and is the "forever picking the wrong second singles" powers that be. The only thing he's got going on for him is Meghan Trainor. Like, poor Ciara with her dismal 19k album debut, the Fifth Harmony girls getting their Billboard performance nixed and it seems like they're taking forever to blow up. Toni's little sister Tamar is like a one hit wonder I suppose, but I still find her hilarious. Well, all that to say if Mariah feels supported and heard as an artist then coolies. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 6:09)

And then an email comes along (53,513) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End "Information regarding your #1 to Infinity order. Dear Lamb, if you recently received an email informing you that your Mariah Carey #1 To Infinity album pre-order was cancelled, please disregard this message. We experienced a system error that distributed this errant message to our pre-order customers. Rest assured, your order is not cancelled and is on its way to you. Should you have any further questions, please contact us: Email: orderhelp@livenationmerchandise.com. Sincerely, Live Nation Merchandise" Why do I feel like I'm chasing butterflies with a faulty net? (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 4:48)

JLo (53,512) by Rene from US I will mention JLo's name. I am a Mariah fan. I can be objective though. Let's not sit here and pretend Mariah has been nice to JLo. The Mariah and JLo "feud" had gone on for a while. You might say JLo started it by stealing Mariah's song. JLo never stole anything, she just sampled the same song Mariah sampled. I think all this could have been orchestrated more by Mottola to instigate the "feud" and retaliate against Mariah. JLo was just a pawn. Mariah fell for it and took JLo as an rival. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 4:21)

What #1's should she perform (53,511) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think Mariah should leave VOL for now in public appearances. It's not appealing to the current music buyers. Yes I am ready to be shot at with arrows by everyone on this board, but after yesterday's performance all songs mentioned namely "Infinity" and WBT started re-charting. VOL was no where to be seen. I personally never (oh my gosh please don't kill me) was a fan of VOL. I tried, I really did, but I couldn't, but I have the utmost respect for this song because 1) It is the song that introduced Mariah to the world. 2) It is the song that has inspired more artists than probably any other song. So yes, but I think it's time Mariah pumps up "Someday", LTT, "Heartbreaker" and "My All" (I know she sings the last 2 a lot, but those were mainly for her own concerts, not the TV shows). It's summer time and "Heartbreaker" is perfect for a feel good song and people can sing along, "My All" and LTT will showcase Mariah's beautiful range and her classic ballad moments "Someday" again will be the sing along anthem to every girl with a broken heart and that note at the end will be the cherry on top. What songs do you think she should use for her upcoming appearances? I am talking about TV shows and music awards and all, not personal concerts, so bear that in mind. The GP has to be hooked in with these more commercial songs and then bang, she can slip in VOL. With all this said, I am sorry if I offended anyone with the post, this is just my opinon/suggestions to get MC back on top. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 4:02)

My opinion on "the haters" (53,510) by Ardis Logic from Earth I will admit I have done plenty of hating on J-Lo in the past, but there comes a time in your life (hopefully) when you realize that it's ok if people don't like you. Maybe J-Lo and other Mariah haters may not like certain qualities in her because it embodies a trait or talent that they wish they, or their favorite performer had more of. No matter how amazing or successful someone is, there will always be someone hating on them, because they feel they are on a lower level of greatness than that person. Above all, it's best not to take it so personal. Mariah was shining like the sun last night, and even if you look down at your phone, or put on your sunglasses, you could not hide from it. She was stunning. Let them hate if they want to, it just shows how uncomfortable they are with themselves. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 3:33)

Live Nation CD cancellation (53,509) by David from Australia I just received an email saying the message was sent in error to everyone who preordered, so we'll still be getting the CD. No need to worry. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 3:23)

Trouble finding CD (53,508) by Adam from US So, the CD was released today, but I went to Walmart to buy it (I pre-ordered it, too) and I searched the whole department. I couldn't find it. I asked someone, told them CDs usually come out tomorrow, but Mariah Carey's was released today. She told me Walmart won't stock a CD until midnight today, no matter when the release date was, today or tomorrow. So, I left empty handed. I will be going to Best Buy tomorrow to buy my copy. I also received an email stating something in the pre-order wasn't available, but my order shipped and will be here Wednesday, so I don't know what that's about. However, I thought with pre-orders, you got them the day it was released. Sure Wednesday is around the corner, but still. Anyone else having trouble with this? (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 3:06)

She who shall remain nameless (53,507) by Abraham from USA Why are some of you so upset about her? As [censored] Stacey would say "It ain't that deep." Everyone should know that she's jealous of Mariah. She'll never have a voice, Mariah's number of hits or legendary status. People forget that if Selena never passed "you know who" would have been a back up dancer for a no name artists lol. Let her be as salty and as rude as she wants to be. Same goes for the loser sisters. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 2:51)

Re: Ethan (53,506) by David from Australia I got the same message today after being told my order had been shipped a few days ago. It's very confusing. I might call them just to clarify. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 2:45)

Ethan on the elusive pre-ordered #1 To Infinity (53,505) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End "Dear Baby. Thank you for your order.

Please be sure to include a copy of this email with any reply. Sincerely, Live Nation Merchandise Customer Service" Yeah Ethan, I got the same email on the 18th at 22:58 CET. Don't worry though, this is by all accounts a good thing IMO. Tell you what though, I'm surprised so few lambs picked up on the big and small hints Team Mariah has been dropping left and right lately. It's only a matter of following the breadcrumbs. I refrain from going into great detail firstly because it's tedious and somewhat difficult to explain what triggers a gut feeling in me and secondly because I know it's not only friendly ears listening in on our conversations. So not knowing what were intentional slips of tongue from Mariah and Co. and what perhaps were glitches in the matrix I wouldn't sabotage a project or jeopardise anyone's standing by blabbing about something I found out on my own just because. To be 100% clear, no one has leaked anything to me. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 2:23)

JLo throwing shade (53,503) by Ty from USA Pics are surfacing that she was texting during Mimi's performance. Now the beehive would storm her page with bee's, maybe the lambs should do butterflies on her IG. She's a shady tranny. (Tuesday 19 May 2015; 2:00)
