Candy bling (52,677) by carlos from peru Are you kidding? It's one of my favs. The melody, the voice, the lyrics. Just perfect. I play that song all over again and again. "I'm the same Mimi, fame ain't changed me." (That part makes me crazy.) (Friday 1 May 2015; 17:07)

Re: Abraham (52,676) by Ardis Logic from Earth Just a thought. Maybe Mariah was not aiming for a #1 hit song. She wrote what she felt needed to be expressed at this moment in her life. Just like when she released the #1's album the first time around and "I Still Believe" was released. It was not a #1 hit but it was a nice bonus. There will be whole new albums in the future and I'm am sure when that time comes MC will be writing and aiming for a #1 hit. Until then it's a good idea to just chill out and take each moment as it comes. Much love. (Friday 1 May 2015; 16:58)

Lamb_O_Chop (52,675) by Abraham from USA "What's not to love about this song"? Are you joking? Everything about it is bad. From the music to the lyrics. Along with Mariah's voice. The whole thing is a mess. I honestly believe that some fans are just saying they like it because they're loyal and love Mimi so much, when really they hate it and are embarrassed. Mariah is 45 years old. She should be writing like one. Everything George posted is the truth. Mariah isn't in a good place musically. "Beautiful" has been her best single so far. It was fresh and decent. And very appropriate age wise. Also her voice sounds great. But "Infinity" is a whole another story. Mariah should get out of la la land and come back to the real world. Write some better and mature lyrics. If she wants a hit, it can't be anything like "Infinity". (Friday 1 May 2015; 16:35)

Candy Bling (52,674) by Ardis Logic from Earth Who else loves this song? Listening to MOAIA today had "Candy Bling" on repeat. Absolutely love this song. It just sounds amazing to me. (Friday 1 May 2015; 16:09)

Robin Leach interview (52,673) by TheOne from Philippines Am I the only one who thinks that Mariah's speaking voice tone in that interview sounds like 90's Mariah? (Friday 1 May 2015; 14:48)

Make It Last Remix (52,671) by tadatorao from japan Antonio, I felt exactly the same when I first heard the remix. (Friday 1 May 2015; 14:33)

Boyz II Men (52,670) by Bill from the UK What David said. The thing is, it was an incredibly low move, Mariah was getting it from all angles after the Rockefeller isolated microphone leak, including many posters on here, and Nate waded in and publicly and condescendingly more or less said she was in need of help. Any real friend, who had those sort of concerns, would address them privately with the individual, not air them for all to see on his damn Facebook. Even if they had lost touch over the years, a call to her management company asking for her to contact him was all it would have taken. It was an awful and insulting move on his part, and if Mariah is willing to forgive him and remain friends after that, then she is a better person than me. (Friday 1 May 2015; 13:23)

David from Australia (52,669) by Will from England During one of the post extravaganza interviews, Mariah was asked about potential special guests. Boyz II Men came up and she murmured something like "I don't know if we're friends." (Friday 1 May 2015; 13:20)

Stuck (52,668) by CHAZ from USA Hi fellow lambs. Obviously, Mariah is stuck in a rut. "Infinity" sounds exactly like a combination of her previous songs. Not uberly excited after the first listen. She does not think outside of the box and does not consider today's current trends (stuck in the 90's). I will continue to support her, but will no longer promote her. Sorry about it. (Friday 1 May 2015; 12:32)

Mirror man (52,666) by George Golden from UK I wish Mariah's news single was Ella Hendersons "Mirror Man". Something more classic and mature than "Infinity". I dont understand where she is at musically. She is really letting her fans down. Great songs like "Meteorite will be left as album cuts and then she releases "Infinity" as a single? I'm tired of defending her when she is bent on ruining her legacy. I give up. (Friday 1 May 2015; 12:24)

Boyz II Men (52,665) by Licia from USA That whole issue with Nate really threw me off. Although I agreed with some of what he said, I didn't like him taking it to Facebook. I thought he was cool with Mariah so I don't understand why he needed to post it on Facebook and not go directly to her. If you are my friend and you feel the need to hit me with some truth, I'd rather you come to me instead of trying to embarrass me publicly. Futhermore does he really think that people believe they perform night after night live all the time during their residency? Even the greatest singers need to give their voices a break. This is actually the only situation where I expect lip syncing every now and then. (Friday 1 May 2015; 12:19)

Jared (52,664) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia Honey you're digging yourself into a deeper hole with the race comments. Just apologize and drop it, don't try to explain or justify what you said. African Americans aren't the only culture of people that use slang by the way. So if Mariah said "it's the scoop though" (which is a phrase coined by white people) instead of "it's tea though", would that have been more acceptable to you? Would you have spoken about it in the same derogatory context? It's a slippery slope my friend, be mindful of the thoughts you project on to others. (Friday 1 May 2015; 11:38)

Andrew (52,663) by Orkun from The Netherlands Don't leave. I'd read your message half way through and gave you a thumbs up. Continued reading and saw you wrote "give me a thumbs up if you want me to leave". My bad. It's so true what you wrote about the music. I have the same issue with the music she puts out. Mariah is way better than this. Do not leave. I need to be reminded sometimes that Mariah fans have a good ear. You are one of them. At the end of the day, of course the choice is yours. Just know that I "get" the things you say agree with most. I think of you as an artist too actually. (Friday 1 May 2015; 11:33)

Infinity (52,662) by Lamb_O_Chop from Australia I don't care what none of you all say, I love Infinity from the opening "oooh ahhh"s, to the flowing rap singing at the beginning, with that killer hook, all the way to that sweet note at the end. Really what's there not to like about this song? Its empowering, hilarious, cool, she giving vocals, it's a stone groove. I love the way she been handling her current interviews as well, she finally owning her legacy and no apologizing for being imperfect. I love it. She been getting those reporters together Whitney Houston style honey *snap snap*, but still with style and grace. Oh and I'm gonna need Brett Ratner, Lee Daniels, Nick Cannon or somebody to finish the Infinity video pronto. (Friday 1 May 2015; 11:28)

Re: Boyz II Men question (52,660) by David from Australia Basically, Nate wrote a long rant on Facebook about Mariah's bad "habits" because she messed up a few performances. I guess Mariah can't afford a phone, so he felt the only way to make his opinion known was by posting it publicly for the world to see. "So many I considered closest to me, turned on a dime and sold me out dutifully." You'd think he'd be aware that as with any other artist (including himself), there are going to be bad days. Also, he somehow neglected to mention all the other amazing performances she did that year. Go figure. (Friday 1 May 2015; 10:34)

Make It Last remix (52,659) by Antonio from Spain Am I the only one who thinks of Can't Let Go when listening to the Make It Last remix of TGIFY? I think the instrumental opening of Make It Last syncs perfectly with the lines "Even though I try, I can't let go". I've always been curious about this. What do you guys think? (Friday 1 May 2015; 10:27)

Memoirs / Infinity (52,658) by David from Australia So glad to see some love for Memoirs. It's in my Mariah top 5. It's one of the few albums of hers that actually has a proper flow and as an album it just works so well from beginning to end. The lyrics are so witty and clever and it's such a great throwback rnb album. I didn't like it much at first, but it's one of those albums where you only realize the beauty of it after a few listens. The most underrated album of her career along with Charmbracelet in my opinion. Infinity also gives me a Memoirs vibe, so I absolutely love the song. Such witty lyrics and I love how it goes into different places as it progresses. I agree with Mariah when she says that it encompasses all the type of music she's released. It's a bit of everything, which is why I love it so much. I hope it's a success for her. (Friday 1 May 2015; 10:23)

Matini (52,634) / Andrew / Mariah (52,657) by Jon from Netherlands Matini, I loved your post. Mariah is writing Mariahisms, not some pre-conceived idea of how some people talk. You answered with elegance. Lovely post. Andrew, we all say whatever comes to mind but I believe if we got together we would all be more than happy to be with fellow fans and would get along just fine. I cannot believe that I've never met a fan in real life. What the hell? Where are all these people that bought the song on Monday? I would even be up to go to London for a get together. My life too is Mariah based (as unhealthy as that might be I don't care) and would love to just listen to her music with people that get it. Thanks to the webmaster for keeping this forum going and thanks to Mariah for releasing this song. It contains some weird choices but I'm loving it more and more everyday. Freaking genious in some parts ("you're leaving you're leaving you're out the door" is rocking my world). (Friday 1 May 2015; 9:52)

Boyz II Men question (52,656) by Mushaakiss from UAE Why did Mariah say I hope they are still my friends and then I didn't understand what she said after that? Can anyone shed some light? (Friday 1 May 2015; 9:36)

Jared (52,655) by Licia from USA Your whole statement was wrong on so many levels. For once I'm just speechless. Seriously how do you respond to that? (Friday 1 May 2015; 8:50)

Jared / Matini / Mariah (52,654) by Orkun from The Netherlands In all honesty, I can understand why Matini has been hurt. Jared, no offence intended. You kindly apologised to Matini, and I was about to give you a thumbs up. But after, you justify yourself and continue to tell Matini "not to be so sensitive about it". On the contrary, you need to be more sensitive about Matini's feelings. Mariah has been dealing with racial issues for life, like most of us. Saying "get over it" is not going to cut it. On the other hand, about Infinity, I agree with Jared. Greets and love to everyone. (Friday 1 May 2015; 8:46)

Marrisa (52,653) by Tevin from USA Actually I think her problems started during Daydream not Butterfly, because her voice even though powerful and her belt even though was amazing her voice was really thin and light. And she did not have that richness and power that she had her earlier years. I think her best vocal era was the end of Music Box into Merry Christmas era. 1994/1995 was to me was at it's peak because she could belt and have the techniques down like during Daydream, but she still had that thick richness and power to her voice. Listen to the difference between undubbed Madison Square Garden's vs undubbed Tokyo Dome. In Tokyo her skill and belting was better, the voice sounded not as rich and full. (Friday 1 May 2015; 7:26)

Infinity (re-edit) (52,652) by Skip from United States Just saying thanks again for the nice comments about the "Infinity (re-edit)", and thank you to the new comments from MIAM and IHeartMC. I hope those of you who asked for the MP3 received it with no problem. I really thought it might get, like, 30 plays on SoundCloud and it's at something like 1,600 now. So cool. (Friday 1 May 2015; 6:14)

Of time (52,651) by Andrew from UK And the song is shit. I said my piece about what she needed to do and I gave it a shot. The musical direction is beyond me. If it was YDKWTD I'm certain it would rock the charts. Block me from the board, censor me, I don't care. I genuinely don't feel like I belong around Mariah fans anymore. It's not you guys fault. I queston what it is I love. If it's the past, I feel sad. Thumbs up me and I'll leave. I promise. This isn't an ego trip. It's probably more of an affirmation. I love you all for loving MC. We love in different ways. Thunder precedes the sunlight. So I'll be alright. Big love [censored]. (Friday 1 May 2015; 4:48)

Till The End (52,650) by Andrew from UK Martyn, thanks. I even tried to get a London fan get together started with people who since left the board. I think sing along and discussion in person is great. I'm often shut down because in person it's just an opinion and I'm always happy when I make it: even when I say "she should just quit". I'm genuinely okay. I like hearing why she shouldn't. My life is Mariah Carey based. I think even Americans like Shelly and Mimi L etc would be great to have in that type of environment. The Greek guy, Canadian Marcel I'm absolutely positive that one of you guys saying "okay shut up, what about this point?" would make me laugh/smile and think before I debated. I am vocal but we are all. I just choose to say my piece. (Friday 1 May 2015; 4:40)
