Ellen upcoming appearance (53,370)

I hope Ellen scares the sh*t out of M just for laughs. (Saturday 16 May 2015; 9:20)
BBMA starts at 5pm (53,369)
by Matty from Vancouver Canada
I can't wait to see MC this Sunday at Caesars Palace. Just to give peace of mind to everyone else attending Sunday's show. The Billboard Music Awards start at 5pm at the MGM Grand, and Mariah hits the Caesars Stage at 8pm. I bet she'll be pumped up and in excellent voice after her Billboard performance. It's been way too long since the most legendary singer around has attended such a major awards show. I hope she does red carpet before the show, she's always so chill and fun on the carpet. I can't wait for this week when "Infinity" gets the promo push it deserves. I love her description of "Infinity" in the L.A. Times article as a blend of "Vision of Love", "Touch My Body", "Obsessed", and "We Belong Together". I can hear all those songs in it, plus "Always Be my Baby". The best review of the song made the statement that the song is like the "crown jewel of her extensive catalogue". I kinda have a feeling she's going to be switching up her sound for her first full length proper Epic release, and "Infinity" is meant as a bookend to the past 25 years. (Saturday 16 May 2015; 5:56)
Empire (53,368)
by Abraham from USA
I think Mariah should ditch "Infinity" and work on a smash hit. Making an appearance and releasing a song on "Empire" would really pay off. I don't know about anyone else but I'd love to see her do some acting. I really enjoyed her in "Precious" and thought she was good. She definitely should have done more movies.

Eeek (53,367)
by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada
Mariah's latest instagram posts sure look like they could be spots from a Vegas documentary/primetime special. Excited. (Saturday 16 May 2015; 4:22)
VOL Instagram (53,366)
by Lee TS from USA
I think that was a soundbite from an interview. I feel like I've heard her say that before. And she sounds young in that clip like '98 ish. I hope everything goes well and smooth for the BBMAs. No drama and a stellar performance. (Saturday 16 May 2015; 3:37)
Infinity remix (53,365)
by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Is it true that Mariah will perform a remix of "Infinity" on the BBMAs? Someone kill me right now. Even if she doesn't I am still super excited about the BBMAs. I will be yelling at everyone to give a standing ovation and maybe a slight bow? Too much? Ok standing ovation it is. (Saturday 16 May 2015; 1:41)
VOL instagram video (53,364)
by Marissa from USA
The instagram video MC posted about VOL sounded like it was a clip from a documentary. Listen closely to her speaking voice. It clearly doesn't sound like she recorded that on her phone just to post on Instagram. Someone please correct if I'm wrong or if that was a soundbite from an interview. (Saturday 16 May 2015; 1:41)
BBMA (53,363)
by Ethan from United States
Mariah should pull the Divas 1998 concert hair as she sits in front of Nicki. Haha. Just kidding. But I won't mind if she does. The hair, the diva performance, and perhaps the special award. They go together in one or another way. I ordered the #1 To Infinity album but it hasn't come yet. Did anyone receive it already in the US? (Saturday 16 May 2015; 1:08)
Ellen (53,361)
by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Mariah is going to make a surprise appearance on Ellen this Monday. Can we just declare next week Mariah week already? I mean starting from Sunday, she has the BB performance and hopefully will be adding more awards to her collection. Monday, the surprise Ellen appearance and Jimmy Kimmel, it is also the release date of the album. Friday she's be on Kelly and Michael and I have a feeling she'll also release the video this week. Not to mention she has 3 scheduled Vegas shows. I hope she gets enough rest, it'll be a tough week for Mimi. But all the exposure is really good for her. Sending love and positivity her way.

Jono (53,360)
by Abraham from USA
I agree, I think the Kartrashians are total losers. I'm sick of seeing them at award shows and events. And Nicki's no talent a** should be somewhere way in the back. I definitely won't be watching. (Saturday 16 May 2015; 0:43)
Jono (53,359)
by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Haha I laughed out so hard at "they better be forced to perform". So far I can see that Mariah is in the front row along with Britney and Nicki (I think). They moved Nick Jonas somewhere else. I, however, am still not liking it that the Kardashians are right behind Mariah. I mean what contribution to the music industry do they even have? Why are they even invited to these. And even if they are, you better go sit at the back. 1D, who are labelled one of the biggest bands in the world (I don't know how true that is but I keep hearing it and they are pretty good) are seated behind the Kardashians, like what the heck. I wonder where Beyonce will be seated. Oh as for Nicki, I think Mariah will be fine, she has history of handling these situations well. Remember when she ran into Thalia and Tommy at an event during TEOM? She was being civil with them but from the pictures it is so obvious that she is looking down on them, from the body language. I hope MC and Britney hits it off at Vegas. Britney doesn't have singing talent, but I like her, she's a good performer. (Saturday 16 May 2015; 0:43)
WBT (53,358)
by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Found this article in Vogue. Everyone involved in the making of WBT (Carey, Reid, Dupri, Austin, Ratner) weigh in on WBT being such a great song, a great video and how it was the beginning of a new chapter in Mariah's career. Ever since it was released, I have been hearing about how it was the last song to be written and recorded and to this day it feels so unreal that this song almost didn't make it into the album. I love almost all the songs on TEOM, but WBT will always be my favorite for various reasons. The song has a special place in my heart. It has a lot of memories attached to it. I can't believe it's over a decade old. Anyways they also talk about Infinity in it. I wonder what MC is doing to celebrate her 25 years milestone. She should celebrate it, she deserves it.

Cheers, toast, bravo to 25 years of Mariah (53,357)
by Tiina from Finland
Today I'm grateful to have discovered Mariah and her music. I'm not going to get too personal here but her music has saved my life, so you get the picture. I'll be forever in debt to her. Sometimes we get so caught up in our criticisms and analysis that we forget to show the respect this woman deserves. We forget to be thankful for all that Mariah has done and still continues to do. She's still here, after 25 incredible years, still passionate about music and giving us real artistry (every single album she's released is truly a work of art and mean something to me). It's a blessing that she's sharing her rare talent with us. Imagine a life without her and never having had the privilege to hear such beauty. My life wouldn't be the same. Mariah's music has not only saved me, it has expanded my musical consciousness and music being my greatest passion in life, that's saying something. (Friday 15 May 2015; 23:38)
Mimi L (53,356)
by Jono from USA
It's been a couple of years, but Mariah does not forget about these things. Once you cross her, you might as well be dead in her book. I'm just annoyed that, if the seating chart is true, the producers clearly just want the ratings to see if the tension boils over. Once again, the respect of Mariah having her 25th year in the industry is nowhere to be found. And by now I'm no longer surprised that the fame-thirsty sisters are invited to every awards show. Society feeds them. The more fans they have, the more exposure anything they touch gets. Clearly they are there for the ratings. So long as Mariah is front row, because I swear if they put those talentless hacks in front of Mariah they better be forced to go on stage and perform. (Friday 15 May 2015; 23:08)
Marian's publicist (53,354)
by Bill from the UK
"Unfortunately it was under her doctors advice which unfortunately was unfortunate late timing." How unfortunate. Somebody needs to buy him a thesaurus. (Friday 15 May 2015; 22:35)
Respect (53,353)
by Tevin from USA
It's sad that artists like Whitney and MJ only get respect after they pass. Rest in peace. Please I hope this doesn't happen to Mariah, she still has a long life ahead and deserves a lot of respect and recongnition. Happy anniverary VOL 25 years. (Friday 15 May 2015; 22:15)
Honey (53,352)
by Otti from Belgium
I would like to say few things about the song "Honey", the remix with The Lox and Mase. It's one of my favorite up tempo song by MC. The video, I think, was way too sexy, at that time, especially the helicopter scene, when Mase pulled Mariah up from the jetski, and she landed on his lap, while turning with her butt in that swimsuit. While he is raping her, you can see Mariah raps some lines along. The song full of sexuality and dubble meaning, is genius. The beat gets never dated. Sounding so sexy and free. Most of all her attitude in the video, is so [...]. Like bring it on haters. (Friday 15 May 2015; 21:37)
Jono / seating (53,351)
by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Well I heard they changed the seating and now Mariah and Nicki will probably be on the same row. Plus now Britney is on Mariah's right. While I think Nicki will be on her left. Haha someone is having a blast with the seating arrangements. It might very well just be that MC and Nicki are no longer feuding. I am sure their team would interfere if they had problems. What's worse though is that the Kardashians are right behind Mariah. What the heck? They deserve to be way back. I demand that they switch places with 1D. (Friday 15 May 2015; 21:31)

25th Year festivities (53,348)
by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
I better see some of those people citing Mariah as the reason they started singing to wish her on her achieving 25 years milestone. I also agree with Baby about Billboard giving Mariah a new award. (Friday 15 May 2015; 17:29)
Wendy's influence over the "lambs" (53,347)
by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
So I see a lot of people saw the new episode of Wendy's show and now they are flooding Mariah and her team's pages with ideas that Wendy put in their head. Real stupid. Wendy suggested that Mariah should have lip-synced instead of cancelled. Ya right. The moment she would to that, Wendy would be the first to jump on the "oh Mariah is at it (lip-synching) again, the voice is no longer there" bandwagon. Plus the fans now demanding that she lip-sync would be the same ones to go on and write about how they didn't pay so much money to hear her lip-sync. Really anything Mariah would do would backfire. The great Wendy also suggested Mariah to host a meet and greet, as if that's the best thing to do while she is on vocal rest. Wendy stop trying to give out advice like you know everything. This woman thinks she's the best adviser in the world. She suggested Britney should come out in a wheelchair and perform when she hurt her ankle. I get that fans may be upset to have their plans spoiled but really some situations are hard to control. On another note, I was a little surprised to hear Wendy call herself a lamb multiple times today. She always maintained she is a fan not a lamb, but today she called herself a lamb many times. Also no so unexpectedly, Norman the fake lamb was making fun of Mariah. (Friday 15 May 2015; 17:23)
Re: Dutch tracklist #1 To Infinity (53,238) by the webmaster a.k.a. Eric (53,345)
by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End
5. Dreamlover 6. Blind Alley 17. We Belong Together 18. Two Occasions 19. If You Think You're Lonely Now 20. Don't Forget About Us 22. Infinity I've seen similar track lists in various European online record outlets and it's very curious that 6, 18 and 19 are listed as if they are actual tracks while Fantasy, Honey and Heartbreaker don't have their respective sampled/interpolated songnames listed after them. Like who is DJing this playlist? Hmmm. (Friday 15 May 2015; 16:24)
Billboard Music Awards hitlist (53,344)
by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End
1. They better be honouring Mariah with a unique award/plaque/trophy/ice sculpture. I am not here for them giving MC any JLo leftover accolade. That would mean they have been planning to shade her since last year? Why can't Mariah get the first Billboard Legacy Artist Award? 2. All this business of having nicknames all around Mariah is x 100 Maybe Stevie Nicks is giving her the Legend Award speech? 3. Emotions (Unplugged intro) and Infinity, with the lyrics video playing for the audience to sing along to. I'm so here for it. Anything else is just icing on the anniversary cake. 4. Arm candy? Whomever is the video hunk from Infinity OR Michael/Shawn/Morgan/Trey. 5. Attire: Anything black, fire engine red and sculpting. Must photograph well. She's been looking really really good lately so shout out to whomever the stylist she is collaborating with. I wonder if she still has a few of those Victor Alfaro dresses from the Music Box era in storage, you know the one she had on for her Endless Love performance with Luther at the Royal Albert Hall concert that had a tuxedo cut? But I know it's gonna be a mermaid moment because that's her thing right now so I'm here for that too. (Friday 15 May 2015; 15:51)
