Sad, but we can still hope (53,292) by darrian liu from taiwan Mimi L, yeah it's kinda sad, but it's predictable. Infinity entered the charts due to first week downloads and the string first week streaming. Sales in the second week is weak, and streaming is not as strong as the first week. Yeah, Sony put in a lot more promo for the album cover than the single, kinda weird. But there's still a chance for Infinity to go to sleeper hit status, probably with a killer remix just like what Tove Lo did with Habits (Stay High), plus the video ain't even out yet. The performance later at BBMAs could breathe new life though. It's a pretty big event and if Mariah can give a really good performance, it can boost sales. I'm really wishing that the video would be epic because that can help a lot. The airplay could get some boost too, I think radios there at US don't play Infinity that much. Did Infinity get the same radio push as #Beautiful? From what I remember, #Beautiful was successful because of massive airplay gains. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 16:10)

Bronchitis (53,291) by Tevin from USA Please Mariah get better, this coming up week is so important for singing. Well at least the haters cant say she lip shync, because I [...] you can get bronchitis from miming and only singing a few words. Now I see why Mariah doesn't sing her old hits all the time, it's really [...] on her voice especally now that she is older and her cords won't recover as fast as when she was young. By the way I found out that Ariana and JLo will be performing some of Mariah's older hits at the BBMA , lol. Just kidding, I wonder what that would sound like. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 15:26)

Baby (53,290) by B from USA The road trip was insane. We just went to see Mariah. We drove 2,500 miles to see Mariah. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 15:24)

Get well soon Mariah / heartbroken fans (53,289) by Ardis Logic from Earth I hope MC will take good care of herself and get well as soon as possible. I can just imagine how the fans felt walking up fully excited to see her in concert and then they are met with this sign. I would be truly heartbroken. I hope they at least get their money back for the tickets and hopefully some other perks or complimentary stuff. I mean let's say it was me who went out there. I would have to get a babysitter for my child $$$. Put my dog in a kennel $$. Buy airplane tickets there and back $$$. Hotel and car rental and the tickets to see Mariah $$$$. OMG. That is a lot of money for someone who is not really a rich person. Wow. I just hope those fans will forgive her and I hope she truly does live up to her promise and "make it up" to them, for real though. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 15:18)

Hey B, how was your road trip to Vegas? (53,288) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Did you and your family catch any interesting shows? Anyway, welcome back, you were missed (Thursday 14 May 2015; 14:23)

Vegas is like the Olympics (53,287) by Lee TS from USA So I hope M is discipline enough to endure this run and come out victorious. I don't want to seem like I'm going in on her but I need her to treat this like a 9-5 job with normal hours and train on the daily. She can't be filming videos and wrapping up at 3 in the morning when she has a show the next night or going out to catch a strip show on her nights off. No, I don't even know what I'm saying really. I mean of course I want to see her have fun and enjoy herself, but she needs to buckle down a bit and be on a strict routine schedule in order to survive this Vegas gig and not "winging" it. She needs to take care of herself and be in good health and voice. She's been plagued with bad health in recent years in the most critical times of her career. Dislocated shoulder, bronchitis, emotional distress possibly, and bronchitis again. I hope she's feeling better by the moment. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 13:44)

What? (53,286) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It's out of BB already? That is plain sad. Ugh Sony what are you doing man? Where the heck is the music video? This sucks. I am so pissed right now. They put in more promo for the darn album cover reveal than the single itself. For those hoping for a sleeper hit, I hope I have to bite my words after this, but I think that's not going to happen. It'll take a miracle to get Infinity back in the top 20 again (that is of iTunes) we can forget about BB. Nowadays there is hardly any sleeper hit. People have a smaller attention frame and the radios will play whatever is hot and current at that period of time. They won't wait for weeks to discover a song. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 13:40)

Chart position (53,285) by darrian liu from taiwan Infinity fell off BB Hot 100 guys. Guess we should hope it becomes a sleeper hit, or the video goes viral. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 13:11)

Cancelled show (53,284) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I hope Mariah feels better. She really did take up a lot of gigs. I mean the Vegas residency is grueling as it is since she is singing a marathon of her toughest songs. Then she has so much planned for next week. Get well soon Mimi. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 13:10)

Infinity (53,283) by clueey23 from USA I've heard Infinty on the radio. Not like a hot hip hop and r&b station, but the grown folks r&b station, when they mix the new with the very old school. Sucks she had to cancel the show. Hopefully when I'm out there next week she doesn't cancel. I damn near think my feelings would be hurt. Lol. Anywho, I agree that it's crazy the way other artist promotions always feel larger than life and then MC gets snubbed. Also, I don't think industry people like MC because her soul is still intact and she really hasn't souled out. MC has stayed true to us and herself. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 13:03)

The difference (53,282) by David F from Mexico Mariah makes a big difference among new want to be singers, she made her albums and her singing style very difficult to be surpassed, her writing is genius, nobody writes like her, God save her good spirit forever, JLo is all about dance and weak ballads, remember she stole a lot from Janet Jackson, and could not save American Idol since she is not a real singer how funny, but they kept her, it's their fault next time bring real singers, Britney wanted to be the white Janet, only those fools follow them, now Beyonce forced herself to marry that ugly Jay so she could keep relevant when there's thousands of hot men, but that's the price she has to pay, Mariah is singing all in your face and it's hard to understand since you all want perfection, go see the dance routines that they have to offer you, no soul and realness until you get the message, Celine like Mariah and Gloria were made to last forever their songs make sense, they come from their own talent.

Satirical TRL video (53,281) by Jonathan from United States I know some lambs get offended and become defensive easily when it comes to Mariah especially when someone alludes to the Glitter era but I found this video to be funny and all in the spirit of fun. We all know Mariah's story and just how serious her case was however this was not meant to be taken literally at all (it's satire) so please do not attack me for this. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 6:50)

First cancelled show (53,279) by Ethan from United States Mariah just cancelled her first show and it wasn't rescheduled. I hope she will be fine this weekend, especially with 2 shows in a row, a BBMA performance, and Jimmy Kimmel concert. Most important, I hope she will be on vocal rest and in shape by Memorial Day weekend so I can see on May 24. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 5:55)

Mariah cancelled a Vegas show? (53,278) by radhames from Curacao Sources say Mariah has bronchitis and her doctors have advised her not to use her voice. Is this true? (Thursday 14 May 2015; 5:54)

Mimi L. / Marcus (53,277) by Lee TS from USA If Mariah goes making out with Drake, thirsts after Justin Bieber, or falls down from a stage maybe she'll get mentioned on Clevver. That's what Madonna did to stay relevant. JLo always wears beautiful dresses it's true, even I get enamored by her ageless beauty. I guess maybe to some they already wrote Mariah off as irrelevant, I don't know what to tell you. I think it was you that mentioned 1D, and I get where you're coming from because they're so hot at the moment and their fandom literally controls Twitter. But if Mariah was to hop on their bandwagon it would just seem thirsty. It would make more sense for them to work with Ariana than MC to be honest. In other news, does Tamar Braxton get no love from the lambily that she showed up for M's opening night? Or is it because she wasn't Beyonce? No shade. And yes Marcus, we know Infinity isn't a knock out the park and probably fell off BB Hot 100 (what's the tea?) this week but it maybe a sleeper hit. At least I hope so, if not, M gains another flopped single. And she will go working on the next thing or like a lamb mentioned, do a Janet and go in hiding and we can cry our eyes out. Wait oh my gosh as I'm writing this it seems like M cancelled her show tonight. Oh no. I can already see the headlines now. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 4:08)

Love Takes Time again (53,276) by 123 from USA I love this. The second performance of this song is even better and she even slipped in some new notes. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 3:56)

Quality over quantity (53,275) by Ardis Logic from Earth I understand where you are coming from Mimi L. There will always be those who are more popular for whatever reason, and that is ok. If I were Mariah I would be happy with the quality of my fans rather than quantity. Kind of like, I rather have a very small amount of "real" true, loyal, loving friends, than have millions of fake friends that talk shit about you behind your back. It's all good. Plus Mariah is not "always" looked at negatively. Lately the media has been quite positive and nice. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 2:43)

Youtube #1 to Infinity concert LV 2015 (53,274) by Ardis Logic from Earth Not sure how long this video will be able to stay up, but it's awesome. 38 minutes long, for those of us who are not able to be there in person. Mariah looks and sounds beautiful. It really looks like a lot of fun. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 2:35)

Infinity (53,273) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Deedre, that is exactly the kind of take on this single that scares me. Infinity is and was meant to be the single to get Mariah back on the charts. Now if it'll fizzle because they couldn't get more promo in place due to the residency and the fact that the MV is still not out, does not turn it into yet another buzz single. The video for it is not just concert footage. I have listed on a previous post that so far we saw 6 different scenes from the video, only 1 of which is the concert footage. The rest are all shot for a supposed storyline. To think that letting another single fall off the face of the earth won't do anything to Mariah is a very wrong idea. Every little flaw of MC is blown out of proportions. People are still going on and on about how her last hit was in 2009 with Obsessed (yes they forgot about #Beautiful already). They still talk about how MC's career has fallen since E=MC2. So I do not agree that yet another "buzz single" which will be forgotten is no threat for MC. I really hope the label doesn't think that. This is the start of her new era, it has to start with a bang. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 2:33)

Infinity (53,272) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I feel Infinity is doing what it was intended to do which is promote the residency. It's not a single in the way "Fantasy" or "#Beautiful" were. I mean, the video is concert footage. Even with the positive push from Sony. (Which was great to see. What artist shouldn't be backed with positivity from the label representing them?) Sure, it would be nice if Infinity charted in the top 20, but if it doesn't, Mariah will be fine. The move to Sony and the residency have already brought so many positive elements together. As for JLo if she's doing a residency, fine. Mariah is Mariah, Britney is Britney and JLo is JLo. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 1:54)

Dance Mariah (53,271) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think it's time Mariah busts a choreographed dance or two. No I know she isn't really known for her dances and neither am I asking her to pull a Beyonce. Infact I am asking for typical Mariah dances. I was watching Honey and Heartbreaker. She looks so cute with the simple dance moves. I want dance-Riah back. "Gimme your love". Also, unrelated, but just want to clarify, no one is scared of JLo overshadowing Mariah, my point of bringing up the JLo issue was solely that JLo can do the same things as Mariah and people will always shower her with positivity while MC will always be looked at negatively. It's unfair to Mariah. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 1:47)

#1 to infintiy (53,270) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh my gosh, the European booklet for #1 to Infinity is all kids of awesome. The pictures (although old) are gorgeous, there are even a couple I haven't seen before (which is surprising because I have spent days and months going through Mariah's photoshoots over the years). For those who are interested, here it is. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 1:39)

#1 to Infinity booklet (53,268) by Tiina from Finland Just saw some pictures of the booklet and on top of a beautiful dedication from Mariah to all the lambs it is filled with gorgeous rare pictures of her from over the years that are minimally if at all photoshopped. She has also included not just the lyrics but a description of each song talking about how the songs came about. Love that idea. Feels like thought was put into this. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 1:14)

Infinity? (53,267) by Marcus from Brazil For those who think that magically a video is going to make "Infinity" happen, it's not going to happen. Based on the fact that as of now "Infinity" is 834 on iTunes, streaming of the lyric video is minimal, and it is not being played on the radio. Unless Mariah comes up with some great remixes and a Michael Jackson type of video in terms of production, I would suggest those hopeful to keep your faith of Mariah's next project and her residency in Vegas. (Thursday 14 May 2015; 1:07)

Lee TS (53,266) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You know, while I get it that they mainly talk about the current lot of Hollywood, I have seen many times that they keep talking about JLo and even Madonna. I mean JLo is Mariah's age, Madonna is older than Mariah and either don't fall into the "current" lot. Moment JLo announces her residency, they talk about it, the moment JLo wears a dress they gush over it. Mariah is never mentioned. I mean come on, not even the Vegas arrival?
