Catching up on interviews (52,575) by Dove from USA I'm catching up on the interviews from her arrival in Vegas and I love what she's projecting. She's so cute. The see-through sparkly gown is so Mariah and it looks great on her. She seems like the same fun and easy-going Mariah from before. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 21:27)

Re: Skip (52,574) by Jake from New Zealand Wow. Your edit is amazing. I liked the original, but I love this version. The outro is great. I wish Mariah had released this instead haha. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 21:18)

Wow (52,573) by Mirage_Nunez from America That re-edit of Infinity slays by the way. I'll be added to my playlist. Thanks. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 21:13)

Re: Infinity (re-edit) (52,522) by Skip (52,572) by Dove from USA Skip, can you send it to me too, please? My email is on my profile. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 21:08)

Skip - "Infinity" (fan re-edit) (52,571) by Ardis Logic from Earth Awesome. I love it. Good job. If you don't mind I want to post it again here for anyone who hasn't heard it yet. Just so they don't have to scroll down to find it like I did. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 21:01)

Vegas shows (52,570) by Mirage_Nunez from America I'm not expecting any thumbs up for this, but I have to agree with Mus on this. I will take it a step further and say I actually hope Mariah prerecord her vocals for the Vegas show and lip the hell outta of them. Don't get it twisted, in a perfect world ofcourse I would live if Mariah sings and nails all the hits 100% live, but we know singing 19 songs with different variations of vocal demand would be a challenge for anybody night after night. So personally I rather see conviencing lip sycing over her struggling night after night, as long as she mixes it up each night with singing a few songs live and really focus on giving a great visual production with grand entrances, costume changes, working the stage, dancers, glitter bombs, and every other over the top stunt they can pull. It's Vegas baby, you just have to put on a fabulous elaborate show and people will eat it up. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 20:52)

Re: Skip (52,569) by Jono from USA What the heck. Your edit is incredible. I think you managed to pinpoint what felt off about the song, which is it was hard to follow where Mariah was going with the different inflections and it just was too much. Your version streamlines it. When I first heard the original where she goes. Also your outro is life. It's perfect. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 20:42)

Kyle (52,568) by NHYTG from nyc Kyle, you're so right on this issue, I couln't have said it better. Lately it seems like many so called fans are the biggest haters. Maybe time for them to pick another favourite artist and let Mariah do what she does best in her own way? Infinity is the kind of song we can expect from Mariah and this is the kind of music I love her for. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 20:35)

Infinity (52,567) by Brad from USA Hi fellow lambs. Loving this new song, have been drilling it into my head. "Close the door, lose the key, leave my heart on the mat for me." Love it. While the vocals are a bit uneven and muddled/airy in some parts, I do feel that more spot on production (a la "Emancipation" or "Chanteuse") could have made up for that in areas of the song. Nonetheless, I am in the camp of just enjoying that we have a new offering and hopeful that a broader audience will get to hear and enjoy it as well. Be good to yourselves and others. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 20:21)

Skip (52,566) by Stacey from USA Love the edit. I honestly think it flows better, especially at the beginning. Many songs start out with the chorus then head into the first verse. To me those extra lyrics st the beginning seemed out of place. Can you send me an mp3. I have hundreds of MC mp3s if you want to trade. daydreamer.butterfly@gmail.com. Thanks.

Mariah doesn't know if Boyz II Men are still her friends? (52,565) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Pretty poignant that neither Wanya nor Shawn have reached out to Mariah, never mind Nate after his Facebook hate rant. It's like, why you mad? At 3:00 during an interview with Brian Anthony Hernandez of Mashable: #1, I bet you'll have special guest performers during your residency. Mariah: I bet I would love to if they would join me. I don't know. Mashable: Do you think maybe Boyz II Men, since they have a residency here? Mariah: I would hope so. I would love to see Boyz II Men. I don't know if they're still my friends. I mean, I live for them. The Periscope app is flawed in continuity so the last part of Mariah's responce is somewhat lost but still, it's very nice to hear Mariah state her own opinion. I just love how she was so free of rancor, very Zen and typical of her tbh. It just further proves how out of the blue their about faces have been. I guess Infinity really does apply to quite a few situations apart from Thirsty. *Plays Infinity* Duh. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 19:37)

B / Honey part II (52,564) by Mara from United States I think you are exactly right. Didn't we see somewhere that Mariah was going to do some impressive stunts or be put in "dangerous" positions? Maybe her and Brett waited for her to arrive in Vegas to film because she may be using some of Vegas as her backdrop. I thought someone mentioned a helicopter and wasn't a helicopter used in Honey? I think that theme goes with the song lyrics and would be a bit therapeutic for her to use almost as an ending to "that chapter" of her life as well. Cannot wait for this video now. As far as the song, knowing she wrote it specifically for this residency makes more sense. Even the way the music stops at the ending and the way it begins back up with the violins. It is a show ending song. She knows what she is doing. I wish her luck and will pray her opening night, she kills it. She needs her fans to support her right now. But back to the video, they really need to release it yesterday to keep the momentum going. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 19:14)

Infinity (52,563) by Matini from United States First off, I'd like to put it out there that I have been lurking on this board for quite a long time. I'm a shy person, so never post, but I wanted to say that it makes me so happy to see a lot of the lambs on this board love Infinity as much as I do. Of course, there are some lambs who do not like it, but I feel like the lambs who do love it outweigh the ones who don't. I love pretty much anything Mariah puts out. She is the only artist (in my eyes) who can consistently put out great music/albums. Obviously, there will be songs/albums that I like more than others, but the point is, Mariah never disappoints me. Back to "Infinity". Mariah is a genius. I love the witty lyrics and I love how she sings them. I also love the structure of this song because it is so different. This song is full of surprises. My mother who raised me on Mariah's music even loves this song. Then again, she loves most of Mariah's music anyway. Regardless of how this song performs, it will always be #1 in my eyes, just like "You're Mine (Eternal)". I just wanted to quickly rave about this song and spread my love for Mariah. Carry on, lambs. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 18:47)

Infinity (52,561) by Wonwon from Indonesia First of all, sorry for my bad English. I like Infinity just like how I like "Honey". It mean I never really can get in with the songs like that. But nobody knows about music trends today. So, I think it's not really important if I like or not for Mariah's #1 hit. I hope Infinity can be her top ten hits or better #1. What I want to say is, if you remember Adele's "Someone like you". It's very big when everything is dance. And positive review is not a must for a big hit. Nobody can predict a hit. I like "Art of letting go" so much. It's the same like how I like "Till the end of time" from Emotions. Infinity is different. The difference make me think of WBT at the first time come out. But not in the same genre. The high not at the end of Infinity will be very good in "house remix" for the dance floor. It will be the climax when played in the club. It's not about good or bad, Infinity will be #1. It's about people like it or not. I like it. Just like I like "Honey". (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 18:20)

Boost for Infinity views on YouTube (52,560) by TheOne from Philippines Hi lambs. I have a suggestion to increase the YouTube views for Infinity. I think it will help Infinity to become a hit. Not just Infinity, but other future singles. First, view the Infinity lyric video in the YT. Then, kill the reload button (make sure the video completely loads before reloading). Every reload is equivalent to 1 view. I post this here because I know this is an active website for Lambily. The Swifties and Directioners (Taylor Swift and One Direction fans) also did this to popularize their idols' songs. And it did work. Promoting gets more different nowadays and my sister is a teenage Swiftie and she tells me how they promote their fave. Just a suggestion though. I hope you all agree. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 18:12)

Kyle (52,559) by Abraham from USA I wanted to hear something decent. "Infinity" isn't even remotely good. It's tacky and sounds like for a teenager. I honestly don't know what Mariah was thinking writing those lyrics. Marissa's post is spot on. Next song please. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 17:57)

Skip, Infinity re-edit (52,558) by Nicky from Jasmine's Sofa Wow. I have grown to love this song this week. Just last night when listening to it I got a Donna Summers type dramatic upbeat ballad vibe from it. I love it. But the arrangement of this re-edit flows so nicely. Dare I say better than the original? I love the original first verse coming second. I think it is the speed of the lyrics there, they feel better coming after her softer and smoother delivery of "close the door" in her familiar voice. You should try to get these to her peeps, this is such a great radio presentation of the song. Anyone that doesn't love the song yet will love this version. On another note, does anyone else notice that in the lyric video "infinity" is written in the same Thirsty font and I keep seeing the word Thirsty in Infinity when they flash it. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 17:37)

Shezz (52,557) by Jon from Netherlands To clarify: I meant people that practice cult of personality have no place in the grown up world. Maybe it sounds like bullying and I apologize if so but it freaks me out people that are totally blind and unable to criticize. I was actually saying that in the context of being happy to see die hard fans having a critical point of view. Again if it felt like bullying I apologize. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 15:59)

JC / voice (52,556) by Musti from UK It's already in my previous post that I accept the general wear and tear in her voice, that I recognize her voice's limits at the age of 45. Obviously she could do everything with much more ease in her early 20s. Who couldn't? But even as early as 1992, she would have to plan it carefully if she were to sing more than a handful of songs in a night. To this day I still believe that the stark change in her voice starting from Butterfly was due to the way she forced herself during the Daydream tour to impress people after the poor reviews of the Musix Box tour. The way she sang Make It Happen alone throughout the Daydream tour is enough to destroy anyone's voice, let alone the variations she did on songs like Hero, Vision Of Love, etc. Have any of you noticed how she hardly did any whistles during the Daydream tour? She let her chest do the talking and ended up damaging her voice. She didn't really go into the whistle register in most of her live performances until Heartbreaker by which time her voice had recovered, but I think she furthered deepened the gap between her full chest voice and whistle register. Which explains her constant lipping of high chest notes in live performances to save her voice for the whistle in the end (which is where it usually is). I wasn't referring to anyone in particular in my earlier post. Her voice is a recurring topic and I thought some things had to be said. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 15:58)

Opinions are like *** everyone's got one (52,555) by Kyle from USA No wonder Mariah drinks. If she read all this rubberish on this board about what all the expectations her fans have for her and what they want to hear from her, I'm surprise she hasn't been to AA. You guys complain you want to hear something fresh, she gave it to you. You guys say you want to hear a radio friendly jam, she gave it to you. And, now you're still complaining. The woman can't win. If Mariah were to release any of her #1s from the 90s they wouldn't get any radio play or chart at all, the music scene is a different time now. Is anyone on this board the same person today they were in the 90s? I hope not. And, if you are, then you've never evolved, never experienced, never grew. This amazing woman we come here to discuss has been the soundtrack to our lives. Fan or no fan, everyone has at least one Mariah Carey song they can relate to. Take her "older" catalogue for what it is and enoy it. But don't keep Mariah under a tent and expect her to never change the game (again). Support her. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 15:33)

Mus / voice (52,554) by Tevin from USA That's is why Mariah is the ulimate vocalist. The way her vocal cords are set up she shouldn't be able to sing or at least sound good, but she had and still has one of the best voices in the world, even with wear and tear. By the way have you ever noticed when Mariah's voice is more hourse and airy like towards the end of concerts her whistles sound and get better. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 15:30)

Infinity re-edit / Bill from UK (52,553) by Skip from United States Thanks for listening to the Infinity re-edit, Bill. I know what you mean about missing the opening Ooh, Aah's. Since I repeated the "Duh" bridge, I had to lose some things to keep it under four minutes. Plus, when I first heard the song, I felt like it took a while to really get going so I wanted an explosion right at the top. It was just something fun to do, and I'm glad you think it works overall. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 15:26)

Voice at Muss (52,552) by juan from Dubai I agree with you. Aside from the fact Mimi's voice is special, she is just like all of us. Gets tired, ages and not immune to deterioration. Have a look at singers today who are really singing well. They are having vocal issues at a very young age. They cancel tour and guestings because of tired chords, worse vocal haemorrhage. To name a few: Adele, Ariana, even Sam Smith just today. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 15:15)

Video plus "weight issues" is late video (52,551) by Cgee54 from Usa I suspect the video wasn't fully recorded because she had body insecurities. Remember everyone is always saying she's fat. I'm assuming that she thought, hey, let me lose some more weight before I record this video. The media is so cruel to her and everyone who have curves which is not fair. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 14:51)

Voice (52,550) by JC from UK Before anyone jumps for my throat, I'd like to clarify that I was talking about her voice during the interview at Vegas. You've got to be kidding if you tell me you don't sense a hint of wear and tear on her voice when she was speaking. While I've already gotten over the fact that Mariah can only belt like the high heavens whenever she feels like it or once in a blue moon, I think it would be wise to just tone down the notes in the studio and when it comes to singing it live, sing the hell out of it? It's more embarassing for her to release a single that she can never replicate or outdo 100% live, than lip sync for the world to criticise when she gets caught. (Wednesday 29 April 2015; 14:51)
