Asian charts (52,813) by NHYTG from nyc On musicweekly.asia you can find some Asian charts, nice to see Infinity in all of them. (Monday 4 May 2015; 11:55)

Video (52,812) by Lara from Middle East People, lets suppose Mariah is checking this board, what would be your ideas for the new video? Lets discuss it while we're waiting for the real stuff. I said it before, I'm imagining her packing her stuff and starting a new life with no one else than Nick Cannon taking the role of the ex. I don't get all the negativity on the board. I don't like Infinity that much, she can do better, but she also has done worse. I wish YDKWTD was given all this hype, it could've done great (it has the same vibe of Uptown Funk, but same time it's great to finally hear a good song from her without having to wait more than a minute to hear her sing).

Re: Marcus, enhanced mix (52,811) by John from Italy Hi Marcus, thank you. I cut the verses to get straight to the only part that I had changed (the last "chorus"/outro) to make you hear only an example of what I wanted to hear in the last part of the song. The first part would remain the same of the original, because there is not much to change there. Perhaps I will upload a full mix (with verses) for those of you interested to listen to the song in its entirety in my version. It would be an honor for me. (Monday 4 May 2015; 9:32)

Infinity covers (52,810) by ktktkt from Philippines I've heard several covers in YouTube but this particular one sounds cool. Just sharing. (Monday 4 May 2015; 7:54)

Infinity (52,809) by Jon from Netherlands The edits that were presented here really show the potential of the song. Some of the parts have to be considered for a radio edit. Specially John's transformation of the bridge into ad-libs over the "mantra". I think that it's the first mantra ever in an MC song (might be wrong) but it's already a classic for me. After my initial reaction of "It's fine" my reaction now is "This is brilliant". Needs to be promoted so people everywhere can enjoy it. It has a great vibe to it. The vocals are perfect. At parts they are close to Mariah's speaking voice and I think it's a great choice. It sounds like the 90's? I don't hear it. It could sound like something more recent but it's pretty unique as a Mariah single. About maturity: Being able to tell what probably was the love of your life that you respect yourself enough not to take him back requires a lot of maturity. More than writing a song like INFY or "Forever". Now if we are talking about "Petals" or "I wish you well" of course that I agree but this is a single. I still don't get the first verses but the second ones are perfect. I don't like everything Mariah does. I disliked "Eternal" a lot. It's Mariah's worst single and possibly the worst song she ever recorded but I love this song. With a good radio edit it would become one of my 10 favourite songs. I think I already prefer it to SIO. PS: Lately I've made some grammar mistakes. Sorry me no good so speak English (also not have mucho patiente to prove rid). (Monday 4 May 2015; 7:44)

New album suggestions (52,808) by 123 from USA I've already moved on to what she is going to offer us on her new album. Her last album was her best in 10 years, among Daydream and Emancipation. I already posted on song that displayed one direction or sound I want her to visit with Jojo's Far From Heaven. I also like Carly Rae Jepsen's All That. I would Mariah to collaborate with the producers of that song and bring back a nostalgic sounding song like that. I'm also all for her working with Jermaine in creating more old school soul songs like Make It Look Good and IDKWTD. Miguel and Happy Perez would be a no brainer. The Beautiful remix with the beautiful intro with Young Jeezy. A DJ Mustard Collab would be great. Some Jazz/Hip Hop songs would be great along with like, one Jazz ballad. She did a great job creating great songs from every genre she's touched in the past and put them all in one album and have it flow so perfectly together. Hopefully she follows suit on her next album. (Monday 4 May 2015; 6:34)

Ideal single for Mariah (52,807) by JCS from United States So I'm wondering, people here have expressed either love or hate for Infinity. Now, if it was upto you, what kind of song do you guys think would be the best kind of single for her? Either one of her recent tracks that's not released as a single or someone else's single. I think Meteorite would have been a good single. Or something like "Ghost" by Ella Henderson. What's your pick? Go. (Monday 4 May 2015; 6:32)

Mariah and Michael Strahan (52,806) by JCS from United States That's a cute pic of them. They'd make a cute couple. He's single isn't he? (Monday 4 May 2015; 6:21)

On the video (52,805) by Marcel from Montréal, Canada Last time I recall him being late with a video was with [...] and remember it was that time in where he spent weeks editing the video trying to make her look [censored] and the result was so sad because it was so obvious that they retouched MC's body To extreme and still it looked bad. I hope this time around that is not the case. I hope this time MC is wearing clothes and in sizes that would help her look the best she can. I know we all want to look the best as possible but that is as possible, so, if she is that [censored] just embrace your true self and just dress accordingly. I think the video is too late already. The song isn't any good To me neither lirycally nor vocally but a good video can do the job. It's great a lot in here like it. It's a concern when someone like Abraham a MC-can-do-no-wrong kind of guy is so openly writting against it though. You surprised me Ab, I always thought you should be about 15-17 years old not like closer to my age. Anyway. I hope this time things goes better for her and waiting for her next song already. I hope Andrew, Trevon, etc aren't leaving the board. Please stay. (Monday 4 May 2015; 6:06)

Lady Gaga (52,804) by SM from Citizen of the World IMO I think Mariah and Lady Gaga should create a song together. I believe it would be fresh and exciting to hear their voices on a track together. (Monday 4 May 2015; 4:56)

Mariah's Vegas show (52,803) by 123 from USA I'm excited for this show. This will be her biggest performances in her career. Even bigger than her Adventures tour. This is a great time to be in Vegas. It seems like everything is popping down there. I can't wait to go in July. Its expected that she will have some lipped moments but as long as she mixes it up with great live vocals a la Beacon show or better she will kill it. She is looking really good lately and I hope she keeps it up. She has been everywhere being photographed with several single, successful, attractive men lately and she is looking really good. It seems like Vegas is doing her good. She better put her all in these shows and get plenty of vocal rest. I want to see her sprout wings, wear all the jewelry she owns, unicorns, and other spectacles. It would be great to see Bianca re-emerge for the Heartbreaker bit. I can't wait to hear what she does to those classics, I hope she gives them justice, they are her crown jewels. (Monday 4 May 2015; 4:07)

Infinity / rant (52,802) by Jeremey Carey from United States I haven't been on this board in awhile, mainly because of me focusing on my real life, but I have to comment on Infinity. I think Infinity can be a mini hit, it could probably hit 15 on the charts, with the right video and enough performances and promotions it could do better. I love the rhythm and the whispered "ooh aah"s, they're rather soothing to the ears. I just think it sounds like a great song and I'm looking forward to hearing future albums from this label. This formula is off to a good start so far, not to mention how amazing Mariah looks right now. She seems like she actually loves herself and seems genuinely happy. Which makes me genuinely happy. I love that the TMZ photo of her rehearsing showed her with all the appropriate equipment fot vocal protection, not to mention the lack of champagne. I pray she puts the bottle away, at least just for the residency. (Monday 4 May 2015; 3:42)

Proud (52,801) by LaCoya from USA I am so proud of Mariah. She is doing her thing. Lol. And to be honest with you I love the new single. You here the different aspects of your voice, the highs, lows, and that fast singing she loves to do. Us as fans are used to Mariah singing these big ballads, but I believe Mariah never wanted to be a ballad singer, she always love r&b, and that is what she is doing, the thing that she always love. Anyhow, support the single and stop complaining, we should be happy, we got our new music and to see our girl Mariah grow as an artist, which I think she has done. Mariah, you go girl. Always a fan and l will always remain one. (Monday 4 May 2015; 2:49)

Philippines iTunes (52,800) by CaloiLamb from Philippines The album is up for pre-order in the Philippine iTunes store. Someday and I Don't Wanna Cry aren't in the track listing. (Monday 4 May 2015; 2:35)

Favorite album (52,799) by Licia from USA I'm trying to steer things in a better direction. What's your favorite album and why? Mine is Charmbracelet (I know I'm probably the only person who bought this album lol). In the 13 years and albums before CB I never had an album that I considered to be mine. I would always hear fans says how this song helped them or that album saved them and I never had that until CB came out. CB is therapy for me. I finally got an album where I could relate to each and every song. Since I'm the only one who bought this album she made it specifically for me ( lol). (Monday 4 May 2015; 1:53)

Countdown to the residency debut (52,798) by Licia from USA I'm hoping Mariah does well with the residency and she makes people remember why she's one of the best. I'm bummed that I won't get to make it to Vegas. Hopefully fans will be able to sneak a few videos. Adam, I agree with what you said, but unfortunately if you don't have people who are willing to be open to all opinions whether good or bad (especially bad) it won't work. It's sad because there was a point in this forum where we could have opposing views and discuss them like adults without all the hater, blind fan, delusional, and a whole mess of other names being thrown out. We didn't always agree, but we handled it better than it's being handled now. (Monday 4 May 2015; 1:30)

The challenge (52,797) by Ardis Logic from Earth Hi Warrior Butterfly. It's funny you bring up the remixes. I have been listening to that album lately. I especially love when MC re-records the lyrics. I really hope we will get a new remixes album one day. That would be awesome. (Monday 4 May 2015; 1:04)

Opinions (52,796) by Adam from Usa I don't post a lot on here. I love to read everyone's opinions. I do mean everyone's. To the good the bad the ugly. It's what makes this board so unique. You can't have to good without the bad. To any member that is thinking about quitting, please don't. We need everyone's voice in order for this to be an open forum. Do I agree with everyone? No. Do I go after someone with a different opinion then mine? No. What good would that do? Stay true to yourself and know that your voice is being heard and appreciated. Much love. (Monday 4 May 2015; 1:01)

No disrespect (52,795) by Ardis Logic from Earth I want to be clear that I meant no disrespect to anyone with my "challenge" post. I was just encouraging those who usually remain quite without posting, to speak up. It's good to have a variety of opinions. The first rule should be "don't take it personally" whatever it might be. Much love to all. (Monday 4 May 2015; 0:56)

Infinity and Mariah (52,794) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA Here is my take on Infinity. Is it great? No it is not. Is it bad? To me no. The song isn't what it should have been to grant appeal but some of my fellow lambs are stuck on a comeback and unfortunately this song is bad specifically for this day in age of music. It's not the 90s anymore. Mariah to me needs to let people know her talents and I feel it's too late because Mariah took too long of a break 2010-2015 to begin promotional pushes. I blame her and her label for not trying hard enough to please the new generation of fans from 2010-2015. This new generation is the most prominent now and Mariah can't release songs like infinity to please them. The new digital age and the decline of album sales began to show during this time and the likes of Rihanna, Katy Perry, Adelle, Beyonce, and Taylor Swift revolutionalized the emphasis of selling songs instead of albums. Taylor, Beyonce, and Adelle always had album success because they are known to be more than just a regular pop stars and therefore always received the most hyped respect and press. This was the time Mariah Carey should have made a statement and released comparable music. During 2010-2015, others stood out as songwriters and show stoppers when Mariah took long breaks and acted difficult all the time. Mariah needs to act her age, ace her Vegas residency and trust Epic Records visions. She needs to stop sitting on her platform and begin damage control. I just hope it's not the end of a great legacy that is, Mariah Carey. (Monday 4 May 2015; 0:50)

Baby and Shelly (52,793) by B from USA I adore you. You're my favorite posters. I am disappointed with a certain lamb, he knows who he is. (Monday 4 May 2015; 0:32)

Otti (52,792) by Abraham from USA We're hard on her because some of us know she can do way better than "Infinity". You can't honestly expect a 26 year old man like myself(straight or gay) to want to listen to something tacky and immature. I like real songs. I feel like Mariah doesn't know what music is anymore. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 23:17)

MayPac (52,791) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So I thought MC went to the event but why is there absolutely no pictures of her? I've seen pictures of every other celebrity at the match, where's my Mimi at? (Sunday 3 May 2015; 22:58)

Video (52,790) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Absolutely no word on the video yet. I'm a little anxious. I hope Brett isn't busy doing other projects. This song needs to be promoted while it's still hot. It has a mass appeal. The GP is liking it. A hot video is something it needs to push it to the next phase. Brett don't be playing with me now. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 22:57)

My Vegas guess list II (52,789) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End This list doesn't cancel out the first one and so, in no particular sequence: 1. Stevie Wonder 2. Dru Hill 3. Patti LaBelle 4. West Life 5. 98° 6. Babyface 8. Kelly Clarkson 9. R. Kelly 10. Nas Really, Mariah collaborates the most out of any artist I can think of alive or dead. I could easily make 5 more lists of possible Vegas guest stars for the #1 To Infinity shows. That's amazing. She has such a great relationship with her ego. So democratic with her musicianship despite being generally more "successful" as a singular artist. Only 4 of her Billboard #1's are duets or features. I'm impressed. So who do you guys want to see in Vegas as surprise or semi-permant guests? (Sunday 3 May 2015; 22:51)
