Infinty (52,775) by B from USA Mariah, Reid, and Sony/Epic are throwing all their might behind this single. I think it's a hit. I think it's the perfect song for her to reintroduce herself. She's not taking herself too seriously and it's catchy as the flu, even those witty verses. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 15:37)

Infinity video (52,774) by Billy from England, UK When is the video for Infinity going to be released? Does anyone know? (Sunday 3 May 2015; 15:16)

Jon (52,773) by Musti from UK Thanks for sharing that link. That was hilarious. A very entertaining read. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 15:02)

Hey you, yes you / the challenge (52,772) by Ardis Logic from Earth I have noticed a few people have said "I've been visiting this board for years but this is my first post." It's a good time to get some new people posting here. Since some of the "regulars" have decided to "take a break" I challenge those of you who rarely or have never posted before to finally "say something" today. Let make it totally random. Anything Mariah related, whatever it is. We need to lighten the mood around here and have a little fun. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 14:58)

Thoughts (52,771) by clueey23 from USA I love "Infinity". I don't understand how people judge a song. It's art not a science fair project. Here we have something totally new from our favorite and all people can do is complain. I think everything about this era has been done very well so far. I hear a hit when I hear "Infinity". I know a lot of you don't like r&b but as I've stated several times on this board, MC can sing anything, but she will always be an r&b artist, that's where her heart is. Never before has MC expressed herself like in this song before. It's very raw. Everything, the vocals, the production, seem very raw and honest. And I appreciate that she didn't put out a club banger right now because that's not where her head is at. I honestly think we will hear this song on the radio, the first since "#Beautiful". MC deserves this. Her past efforts went unnoticed not because of the material but because of the lack of simple promotion she is getting now. I can't wait to see her 5/20/15. I'm not one to judge. I honestly think we will see MC come full circle from where she was this time last year, "it's nothing that you don't already know". This song will be a hit because people will connect with this song. I'm happy that she is reintroducing her #1s because it's time. And I think we should have a new EP out before or after this Christmas project this year. Not a full album, just like 5-8 cuts, mixtape style, straight to iTunes. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 14:36)

Mariah, pervert and genious (52,770) by Jon from Netherlands Here is a great discussion on Mariah. A lot of fun to read. The part they call her pervert is funny. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 13:46)

John (52,769) by Jon from Netherlands Thank you so much for the remix. From 1:14 is almost exactly what I wanted. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 13:42)

Infinity enhanced mix (52,768) by John from Italy When I listened to the song, I liked it but felt that something was missing, so I made a raw mix to obtain a product closer to my taste. It was not intended for public release, but after reading many negative comments I decided to share it with you because I think it shows the true potential of the vocals and the melodies. The repositioning of the chorus at the beginning and other things have been inspired by the great re-edit of Awodaly that some of you published here some days ago, but I was mainly interested in enhancing the last part with many countermelodies a la Mariah, long note and so on (you could skip to 0:51 to hear the part with major changes). If you don’t like the original song, give it a chance in this version. I hope you will find the beauty and the pathos that the song inherently possessed, only it was not quite explicit.

Everyone calm down (52,767) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Can we all please calm down? Guys it's just a song. It's fine if someone loves it or someone hates it. Whatever we post should only be our opinions (and people should also take it as opinions) and not be portrayed as facts. Let's not try to force our opinions down each others throat and call out people for their opinions. It's hard when we all feel so passionately about MC but we should try. And please no more of the "fair weather fans versus true lamb" bull crap. That topic has been milked dry by now. We all are here because at some level we feel connected to Mariah and we love her. Let everyone voice their opinions and if you don't agree just state why your opinions differ but don't try to make others agree with you. Let's all just be respectful to each other and towards Mariah and try to engage in a healthy discussion or debate. No need to bring on the abuse. I don't think anyone who doesn't love Mariah atleast on some level has the time or need to post on this board so from that I'll assume everyone here is a fan whether they like something she puts out or not. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 13:28)

RJJ12 (52,766) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Seems like your wish has been granted. MC tweeted a picture getting read to go to the MayPac fight. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 13:21)

New pic (52,765) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Umm how gorgeous is this woman? Seriously, does she even age? (Sunday 3 May 2015; 13:19)

Infinity (52,764) by Otti from Belgium Some fans or lambs (call it what you want) are really hard on Mariah. "Infinity" is listed number 19 on the "number ones" album, not somewhere between "Love takes time" and "I don't wanna cry". What I want to say is that the game has changed, "hate the game not the player". "Infinity" comes after "Touch my body", which was a catchy fun number one. When had Celine or Janet their last number one? The fact that it has more appeal to "non-fans" is a good sign. More than 3 million views on YouTube. That's LA Reid stragery. I remember when "TEOM" got a huge success, LA Reid explained Mariah has a solid fanbase and she makes more new fans from all ages. The most hurting thing I hear on this board is that the song is not worth to be a number one, why this negative prediction from lambs? I hope Mariah never read this board, despite some really good post from Baby, Ethan and Jon. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 13:00)

Marissa / Stacey (52,763) by Licia from USA Both of you have made great points. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 12:49)

YouTube (52,762) by Jon from Netherlands The video has more than 3 million views. TAOLG has yet to reach 2 million. Very curious about where this single is going to peak. I think it will be very sucessful. Once it's in your system is difficult to shake it off. It's also a perfect song to finish a Vegas show. I can see her leaving while singing "ohh ahh". Epic stuff. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 11:45)

Lowered expectations fuel the fandom (52,761) by Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan from USA I can only speak for me, but I didn't really expect much from Infinity. I've had to learn with Mariah that she is, at best, unreliable. Why she is this way is a debate for another post. Infinity is cute, that's it. Will it be her 19th #1? No. Will it even be a top 20 hit? It's very unlikely. It is a cute song and nothing more. TBH I loved the lyric video and found it the most interesting thing she's done visually in a long time. Which means I expect the actual video to be terrible. I expect the Vegas show to be high camp and a hot mess holistically. I will find some fun in whatever she does with "I don't wanna cry" but other than that do your thing Mariah. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 4:47)

Bye bye regulars (52,760) by Kyle from USA Is it just me or are you guys glad the "regulars" are all taking a break? Thank God. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 4:45)

Negativity (52,759) by Connor Bethune from United States I have checked this board for a year now and have only posted a few times. I am honestly dumbfounded at how hateful some of you fans are concerning Infinity. To be honest I hated Your Mine Eternal, yet I still supported it, still requested it on the radio, and still bought it. Fortunately, I love this song, it's catchy, well sung (for the most part), and is classic Mariah. Just because you don't like the song doesn't mean your opinion is absolute. I'm really disappointed at this board. And frankly it is weighing me down. I'll check back in a few weeks. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 4:32)

Infinity (52,758) by ktktkt from Philippines I saw some snippets of the music video and she looks fab. This may be her 19th if everything goes well. I'm happy that even non-lambs seem to like it. She needs support not just from lambs and it being universal (plus a cool video to accompany it) she'll make another history. Yasss. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 4:16)

I don't get it (52,757) by Jon from Netherlands I don't understand why when someone doesn't include quotes when mentioning a song it gets censored but when someone uses violent imagery it doesn't. Clearly the person using this kind of speech doesn't know better so it would be pointless to argue with her. It's up to the webmaster to censor it. Maybe it went unchecked. I hope so. We can all have different opinions but violence is a bit too far. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 4:03)

Infinity / Edward (52,756) by Licia from USA This will be my last post about Infinity. I've been a fan since the beginning. I know that she us capable of songs better than Infinity. It's not the words that I don't like, it's just that the song seems like it's missing a lot and incomplete. I've supported her for 25 years and I will continue to support her as long as she puts out music I enjoy. If not liking one song makes me a bad fan then so be it (I'm still going to post my thoughts either way). I won't be bullied into liking or supporting anything I don't like. I respect anyone who likes the song. That's your choice. I won't bash anyone who likes the song, but some of you have went out of your way to bash people who've expressed that they don't like it. Edward I hate to see you go. I've enjoyed reading your posts. You tell it like it is whether it's good or bad and you do so respectfully. Hope you return sooner rather than later. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 3:59)

Singin' in the shower (52,755) by Ardis Logic from Earth "If there’s any confusion, they’re welcome to come to my house and sing in the shower with me. It’s not a problem." - Mariah Carey Here is a little video I found of MC singing in the shower as a gift to B. Scott on her birthday. Sounds lovely. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 3:44)

Say it aint so? / Marissa (52,754) by Stacey from USA First Stephen, now you Edward? Noooooo. Us level-headed fans have to stick together. Don't stay away to long. Marissa, your post (52,749) is one of the most well written posts of what I've also tried to explain for years. Maybe i'ts an age thing being 37. I just don't get bothered if someone disagrees with me. I don't take it personally if someone loves a song I can't stand. I don't call them out with a post. I don't get bothered when a faceless person says crap to me. It ain't that deep. Anyways, always enjoy your posts. Some will never "get it". (Sunday 3 May 2015; 3:42)

Mayweather and Pacquiao fight (52,753) by 123 from USA I hope Mariah goes to the fight. She said she wanted to attend. It would be nice press and cool to see her ringside. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 3:03)

Infinity and Vegas residency (52,752) by Emmanuel from Canada Overall, I am happy with the song. Is it among her best work? No. Is it the worst song ever? No. There are moments in Infinity that I love such as the "Ouh ahh, ouh ahh"s and the "Infinity, loving me more and more" chant. However, her voice sounds tired and strained in some areas. Also, I feel like the verses are poorly written. In any event, I will support the song because Mariah needs the lambily. I give her A for effort. In terms of the residency, I believe she is going to kill it. She really knows what the people want and I think she is smart to do the setlist in chronological order. Mariah season is coming people. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 2:59)

Question (52,750) by B from USA On Mariah's acclaimed album TEOM she was singing her house in Capri, owning a G4, and that Benz with the doors that lift up from the floor. Mariah Carey has always had fun with her lyrics. It's not that deep. It's a catchy song with a strong chorus and clever verses. Either you love it or you hate but I think our efforts would be put to better use promoting Mariah's single and residency than infighting. Just a suggestion. Mariah's smart, this song has received rave reviews from critics and the lyric video is nearing three million views in less than a week. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 2:41)
