Frito (52,971) by B from USA Now that is the best promo I've seen from Mariah in years. Hilarious. He stole my car, haha. (Thursday 7 May 2015; 2:42)

Tevin (52,970) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Oh lamb after my own heart. "You forgot to also tell the haters that there is a chair sale going on at the Colloseum, so they better stock up so they can take several seats." Great idea, only it's looking terribly bleak at the moment because lambs are steady filling up the seats to capacity at the Coliseum. Oh well: Haters really have no business playing musical chairs anyway. They need to get their eyes and ears checked before they even attempt seating in the presence of the queen of sound. *opens bag of Fritos* (Thursday 7 May 2015; 2:19)

Baby (52,969) by Tevin from USA You forgot to also tell the haters that there is a chair sale going on at the Colloseum, so they better stock up so they can take several seats. (Thursday 7 May 2015; 1:45)

Orkun / Abraham (52,968) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Orkun I am glad you had the same reaction I did to the "leaked" TMZ clips. I had it on repeat and it kept giving me goosebumps. She sounds so good. We'll hopefully get more clips of songs so you can tell me what you think of the singing parts. Abraham, like Orkun said, I am happy to see the new you. Really you were always a sweetheart, but it's nice to see you are being critical too. Haha I know it sounds weird (I mean since when is that good) but I hope you know what I mean. When I saw you post something negative after the release of "Infinity", I actually did a double take, like wait a minute, is uber positive Abraham criticizing MC. I hope this message doesn't come out wrong, I'm just trying to say I respect your opinion and the fact that you don't blindly fall for everything MC releases is something I can respect. No one is perfect, so MC is no exception. I just have more respect for people who know can weigh in on the good and bad. I love "Infinity" but I can totally respect the fact that you are not feeling it. I will regret posting this tomorrow. Again, I really really hope you got what I meant. I'm just not being able to put it into words. 5 am dahlin', it's 5 am here. (Thursday 7 May 2015; 1:31)

A little Q&A (52,967) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Don't know if you all have seen this. So leaving it here. (Thursday 7 May 2015; 1:19)

Orkun (52,965) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha Orkun dahlin' you are such a sweetheart, you made me chuckle out loud at the fashion advice-vocal coach trade. And you know I am all up for it. I am officially taking you on as my vocal coach and I will try to give a run through of the fashion to the best of my ability. Now about her dresses. I'd say overall she is doing great. I absolutely loved the black dress fishtail dress she is wearing in all the interview clips surfacing at Vegas. No one can pull off a fish tail dress (especially with a wider frame) like Miss Carey does. She just looks beautiful in them. The dress along with that hair is perfection. I also loved the little number she wore for the Michael Strahan interview. Fits her really well. Now for her stage costumes, I love this number here because it looks super flattering on her. What I am not sure about yet is the pink number she wore. The photos are hazy, so I'll have to wait until more HQ photos comes out after the show today. I'd really like her to wear less of the full length gowns though, because that is so 2013-14 Mariah. She has great legs so she should show them off more. I also love how in the GMA interview and in the Funny or Die sketch, her boobs are more covered and so we can all focus on her other gorgeous features. That gazillion dollar face and them billion dollar legs. The wetsuit throwback for Honey, now no matter how much I tell MC to dress her age (and size), I am loving the wetsuit and her bringing the jet ski on the stage. Anyways it's like 5 am (5 am and I still can't sleep) so forgive me for my messy answer, I promise to give a better run through once we see clear pictures. (Thursday 7 May 2015; 1:13)

Wa.. wa...wa.. wait a second (52,964) by Orkun from The Netherlands The TMZ audio seems live to me. Finally I'm not falling for the other "live" singing. No way. But this sounds live to the core. The whistle, she covered perfectly. Not just covered, but finally (for me at least) with emotion. Now crossing fingers for the singing parts. The whistles are cool, but not my thing anymore. Just like falsettos, it's too much for my ear. As most of you know, Mariah has been very hard for me to enjoy for a while. To me, "Beautiful" was her most recent peak and that song is a global classic and I am sure time will prove this. I got chills while listening to the TMZ medley today. And that hasn't happened to me for a while. It reminded me of the determination she had when she sang VOL in Jamaica. Not the whole song but the whistle she put out there. That part was live and from the heart. All the previous "in your face she sings live" moments are dubbed. So the TMZ video is the one to use, if one wants to express that type of attitude. (Even the "Happy Birthday" in the shower is dubbed btw.) I can't believe how amazing she sounds on this TMZ thing. Ps: Abraham, you know I am fully on your side and gained more respect for you. Mimi L, about her dresses this era. I need your opinion. I never ever had problems with her weight gain or loss. But her dresses? Not sure. You, I can trust. You know, I talk music. But fashion. Ohh that fashion. Mimi L, I will be your vocal coach and you dress me up. Do we have a deal? Lol. (Thursday 7 May 2015; 0:18)

Just wanna say (52,963) by Lee TS from USA I appreciate M being a bit more demure with her recent ensembles for the promo. I'm no prude but it's nice to see her cover up and your focus is on her beauty. Pip points for the stylist. Good luck on opening night. (Thursday 7 May 2015; 0:08)

Make it happen (52,962) by Abraham from USA If I could pick just one song to hear Mariah sing in Vegas, it would be "Make it happen". (Thursday 7 May 2015; 0:02)

Inifnity BB (52,961) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Infinity is debuting at 82 on BB Hot 100 tomorrow. (Thursday 7 May 2015; 0:01)

Re: Baby (52,960) by Jono from USA I completely agree. It's the same reason why Mariah does not get the same respect as a Paul McCartney does. The fact that she's a woman of color, some people just can't accept the unbelievable influence she's had in pop and r&b. I mean people don't even know that the guest rapper was first done by Mariah, as it's been a consistent trend the past two decades. Also don't even get me started on everything that the public did wrong when it came to the Janet/Justin scandal. It gets me so worked up just thinking about it. But on to happier things. I am blown away by how Mariah sounds in rehearsals. What I really respect about Mariah is that she always lets her music do the talking. No need to do ridiculous stunts for attention, unlike her peers. Concerning the divorce, she answered it in MIAM and Infinity. Concerning her voice, she's answering it with this Vegas show. It seems that the world has not learned from 2005. Never count a talent like Mariah out. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 23:56)

Billy from Greece (52,959) by Giselle #1 Mariah Critic from USA Yes. I agree. That's one of my all time favorite performance from her. In fact I'm going to say that all her SNL performances in my book rival all the others. Mariah has always brought it to SNL. I love when she does her vocal growl and the face on her background singers aww I get my life every time I watch that. Her Vanishing SNL performance is another all time tops of mine. I think I gotta go play her debut and Emotions album now lol way to many jams. Her first two albums are way too underrated, I wish more singles were released. "Prisoner", "All in your mind", "Alone in love", "To be around you". (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 23:53)

Flirtriah getting her groove back? (52,958) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Can we talk about the cute flirting Mariah had going on with Michael Strahan? She pushed him onto the bed but when she helped him up he wouldn't let go of her hand afterwards. Giving me The Rock at Hercules premiere teas. What kinda slay? OAN her body in that dress? It's a good look in any angle. Funriah is back you all. And we love it. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 23:52)

Props to the new pr team (52,956) by SC from USA All I can say is that MC's recent press coverage has been extremely positive and today's headlines highlighting that she can still sing are a testament to that. This is what we need right now, even the funny or die skit. Perfect for now. She needs to be seen as relevant, funny, personable, and most importantly talented. What a change. Don't you think? For TMZ to come up with those great headlines and to put the great "leaked" audio. Excellent. I really think her team actually leaked the audio to prove a point and it worked. The press is now eating all over this and they are all posting the same thing. "She's still got it." Great work. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 23:13)

Visually appealing (52,955) by Marissa from USA Thank goodness it looks like the sets and production are on fleek for the Vegas shows. I can relax my "she's just gonna have one chaise lounge thrown on stage" fears. These will undoubtedly be the most aesthetically pleasing shows she's ever done. I can't wait to see more. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 22:29)

MC's back stage tour (52,954) by Ardis Logic from Earth I love her dress that she is wearing in the video with Michael. MC looks gorgeous. I love the car and all the cool props. Looks like it's gonna be an awesome show. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 22:18)

Re: Joachim / "If It's Over" (52,953) by Billy from Greece I love this song as well. The performance at the Grammys is one of the most, if not the most, epic vocal moments in Mariah's entire career. The SNL is almost equally mindblowing. She was 22 and was a total virtuoso already. To me that performance (as well as others during the "Emotions" era) showed a huge leap from the debut era in terms of control, technique and delivery. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 22:15)

YouTube counts (52,952) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway If YouTube and Vevo was around in the 90's, what YouTube counts do you guys and girls think should be right for Mariah? Dreamlover 600.000.000, and One Sweet Day 900.000.000. What about her other hits? I think Mariah would have been the queen of YouTube if it was around in the 90's. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 21:56)

Mariah Carey gives GMA backstage tour at new Vegas show (52,951) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 21:52)

Vegas footage (52,950) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I had to come back and say how much I've been enjoying the Vegas footage. Things just got a little intense a little while ago, but it's not that I expect the board to be a utopia. (Lol.) I think we can all say our piece without biting each others heads off. You know? Yay MC. I'm excited for those of you able to go to the shows. Do you guys love the butterfly stage? I think it looks really elegant. (Her photos on instagram.) Vocals sound lovely. It is so hard to pick just one album for me, but if I had to it would be Butterfly. Although Daydream and Memoirs are in there too. Baby, thanks for sharing the latest videos. The flute cover is really cool. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 21:52)

Press (52,949) by B from USA Mariah is receiving a lot of positive press. She slayed during her dress rehearsal and has silenced many of her harshest critics, like TMZ. I can't wait three days. I'm avoiding videos of the performance and have only listened to the audios because I don't want to ruin the surprises she has planned for us. I am shocked that Boyz II Men are there. Is the one who wrote that Facebook post there? If he is I bet she's blowing his mind by being in such great shape vocally. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 21:37)

Pre-Vegas show (52,948) by Ardis Logic from Earth MC sounds amazing. So good to hear her hitting those beautiful high notes again. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 20:37)

(Boyz) II Men performed OSD with Mariah (52,947) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End At last night's dress rehearsal. Le sigh. If the picture is real, then Shawn and Wanya are officially back in the fold and I'm glad because that means Mariah is probably beyond happy. What took you so long though? I wonder if BB is gonna honour them with a special reward for longest unbroken record for OSD holding down the 16 weeks for two decades? Well, it's technically two decades next year and would coincide with Boyz II Men's official 25th anniversary. But what the hell do I know? (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 19:22)

Mariah sounds incredible (52,946) by Jenny from South Africa Yay I'm so happy. She's sounding really good. I'm so happy for her. She puts a big smile on my face. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 18:47)

TMZ (52,945) by Bill from the UK I snuck on the site during my lunch break at work and read everybody's comments about the TMZ snippets. As soon as I could I logged on and listened to them - Mariah sounded flawless, and to hear her sing both LTT and Someday live with such passion was a real joy. I am so upset that I will not be seeing her during her residency. I wish her all the best and hope the fans going enjoy such fantastic performances. Just hearing Someday again live was brilliant. I hope after the residency ends that Epic put one of the shows out on DVD or as a download for us in other countries to enjoy. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 18:42)
