Infinity (52,331) by Musti from UK I think it starts off great. Very powerful track, packed with feeling. The way she says infinity in the chorus says it all. I'm not a fan of the corny lyrics either and I do wish Mariah would stop writing "hip" lyrics, but I never believed that she ever needed a complicated lyric to reflect a complicated emotion. She's a master at dressing up a simple song and making it an anthem. Plus I can see this doing well on stage in Vegas, it has a lot of energy. The only problem I have with it is the high note at the end, especially the acapella intro (oh and her laughter - that only really worked on Honey). I think that's where the song loses its pop potential but nevertheless I think it's a great song. Rarely has a breakup/divorce been put in such a positive way. The music, her voice, it all sounds so optimistic. I'm very happy for her. I hope this song does well. (Monday 27 April 2015; 12:48)

There's an end to infinity (52,330) by Mushaakiss from UAE Reading some of the comments reminds me of when TMB came out lol but it still managed to hit #1. Having said that, people are trying to understand the song by comparison with other songs that they relate to but wait a while and you'll see, this song is no YME. I personally love it. I think it's cleverly written, amazingly sung in Mariah's distinct way. I can only critique the production a little, it seems to take some shine of of Mariah's voice but other than that, the song is spot on. The anthem is kickass and much needed for many of us who feel trapped or lost because they can't move on. Life goes on and this is a great way to celebrate freedom from any sort of breakup, be it a relationship, a dead end job, or whatever else you need to move on from. Great job MC.

Infinitily paw (52,329) by Fady from Lebanon I love it. That's all. (Monday 27 April 2015; 12:20)

Infinity (52,327) by Licia from USA Wow it's been a long time since I have posted here lol. Anyway on to Infinity. I'm not feeling it. I want to like it but it's not happening for me. I have never had to listen to a Mariah song 4 times to like it. It just usually hits me after one listen and I'm not hearing all this greatness that people are carrying on about. As someone else said this is not the song that should have been put on an album with so many great songs. I have a feeling that many of the fans only like the song because it's dissing Nick and they pretty much have hated him from the start (for no real reason might I add) and not because it's a good song. Maybe the video will help change my mind. I'd also like to say that since Mariah has started this war of the words, Nick now has every right to make a song about her and no one from fans to Mariah have the right to get mad. Everybody was having a fit when it was rumored that he made a diss song, but they are praising her now for doing the same thing. (Monday 27 April 2015; 12:01)

Just buy the song (52,326) by PieterLamb from Indonesia It would be okay to have "like or dislike" towards her brand new song. She can't please anyone. If you still want to see her back on top of the charts, or her 19th #1's single, just buy the song. Period. Save your over the top criticsm to this messageboard. All she need is support from you lambs to buy the song. That's all. (Monday 27 April 2015; 11:59)

Infinity (52,325) by JAXGH from United States I don't dig it. Sorry lambs, this song just doesn't have it. Another TAOLG. What is going on? Did she really think this was "hot"? Love Story is even better vocally and melodically (complete opposite of Infinity lol). I noticed there's so many single material on E=MC2, and she chooses a mediocre song? Love Story, Migrate, For The Record, Cruise Control, Last Kiss. It's actually an excellent album. Sad to see it completely foiled and wasted. YDKWTD was also an amazing single but no promotion. Infinity is like Sweetheart/You're Mine. Lackluster and forgettable. I hope she releases a better single because this song is whack. I'm so sorry. I see Sam Smith/Ed Sheeran/John Legend smashing the charts with ballads. People are actually noticing voices now. Why is Mariah still all up on fast inaudible whispery records? Seriously guys, what the hell? The production is nothing new. What is up with her voice? It sounds so tired. I really miss the buttery beautiful amazing tone of Daydream and Butterfly era. Sad it will never come back. (Monday 27 April 2015; 11:54)

New single Infinity (52,324) by Jhonny from Guyana The fiirst listen I didn't get it, however, my second listen I liked it. I hope the video comes out quickly to push this song. Great lyrics so I hope we have a great video. All the best Mariah, I hope we get a new #1. (Monday 27 April 2015; 11:50)

LA Reid co-produced this mess? (52,323) by Eternal from Italy Infinity sounds like a remix of You're Mine (Eternal) with Up Out My Face. A rehash of a creatively lacking song, in other words. I get that they are trying to make it radio friendly while maintaining her trademark vocals, but the lyrics are really as corny as Fritos and that long whistle note near the end was completely superfluous. It's out of touch with today's music and would have been a flop even if it was recorded and released in 1995 with perfect vocals. I'm sorry, but that's my honest opinion. I was so excited when I saw that LA Reid, the man who masterminded her 2005 success, was a co-producer of the song, but he added absolutely nothing to the song. I'm disappointed, truly I am. Every one of the four new tracks on the original #1's was better than this. Didn't Sony tell her that You're Mine (Eternal) flopped hard and she shouldn't try to replicate it in any way? When will she realize that R&B is over and even her pal Mary J has jumped on the British house music bandwagon? (Monday 27 April 2015; 11:45)

Infinity (52,322) by Darryle from USA Eat your heart our Nick Cannon. This song sounds amazing. The lyrics are clever and super funny. I can see this song going to #1. It's her best single in years. (Monday 27 April 2015; 11:42)

Mmmm (52,321) by Lara from Middle East Not feeling it that much. There's no real melody in it. The lyrics are hilarious and I think this is the only thing that can help the song to chart. They're using the lyrics to the max (hence the lyric video) and the controversy it could cause to gain popularity. About the lyrics video, I wonder why she used snippets from the Honey clip. And did you see how the alliance ring is thrown from the door? Can't stop smiling at all these small little attacks. Well, he had it coming. (Monday 27 April 2015; 11:36)

Amazing (52,320) by Luke from United Kingdom I guess everyone has different tastes in music but I think this song is brilliant. It's fresh while staying true to her sound. Plus there are so many references to her past work in this song, Rainbow, Always Be My Baby and more. We can't expect her to be on top by repeating the same formula we are used to. The rapping is total shade to Nick's poor attempt haha. Be open to hearing new sounds from her and stop having high expectations. (Monday 27 April 2015; 11:33)

Second review and the last lol (52,319) by Gilles from Malta So I like the song but I really think that I am getting too old for new Mariah songs. I mean new material (I love the violin part of the song without too many instruments). I still love Me I Am Mariah The Elusive Chanteuse. It is what it is. I bought the track, I will buy her albums and I'm pretty sure there would be a DVD of Vegas and I hope there will be more classic songs in the future. (Monday 27 April 2015; 11:33)

To Elena (52,318) by Orkun from The Netherlands You took the words right of my mouth. Indeed, Beautiful should have been used for this era. That would have been her 19th. (Monday 27 April 2015; 11:32)

Do you love Infinity? (52,317) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands It seems reactions to Mariah's new song "Infinity" are mixed and I'm wondering how many fans love the new song. If you love the song, please give this message a thumbs up. But only if you love the song, not if you think it's OK or you think you might love the song in the future. (Monday 27 April 2015; 11:30)

Infinity (52,316) by MC1989 from Spain First of all, I will support Mariah. I will buy this album but I'm a bit disappointed. I thought she had enough with the mainstream "r&b". I wish you luck Mariah, but if what Sony wants is a big comeback, I think Mariah's voice can't compete with Sia's, and Infinity no way gets closer to Adele, Mark Ronson, Bruno Mars or Amy Winehouse (RIP) (examples of commercial success and good music quality). But as someone said, the whole MIAMTEC was better. Beautiful is still the best song she released since WBT. I don't feel the lyrics, too childish. The whole song sounds like if Mariah was singing desperately "I want another number one". But I feel this song is not elegant, it shouldn't be on the same album with holy gems as Vision Of Love, LTT, Emotions, We Belong Together etc. I wish Mariah takes a deep look into Sade's kind of elegance, and her smooth singing. Sade defenitely knows how to grow old and change without sounding too mainstream. Celine Dion's Love Me Back To Life single sounded so powerful in terms of vocals though it is not the music that I like. Now I understand why many people consider her the greatest diva standing. Mariah doesn't even sound powerful in Infinity nor one of the greatest voices. Maybe I'm jnbeing too critic. I definitely like some parts of the song and the idea of using violins. Hope that after listening a few more times I learn to appreciate it. (Monday 27 April 2015; 11:28)

Boring (52,315) by Orkun from The Netherlands This is a very bad song. May even miss the Top 100. What were they thinking releasing it? I'm schocked. No offense to anyone, but who would listen to 18 number ones and play infinity after those classics? There is no melody. "Infinity" part is indeed falsetto. (Mimi L, remember my prediction?") I'm hurting now honestly. Such a wasted chance. Mariah come on, where's your creativity girl? I love you. Please get it together. I promise you all, if this becomes a hit I will happily eat my words on this board and allow you to chop my head off, celebrate with you because I want her to have success. And by the way, "instant classic"? More like a cult classic. I'm very sorry to say. I'll keep streaming the song to do my part. I truly hope I'm so wrong about this. Maybe I missed the clue and there actually is something good about the song they hear and I don't. (Monday 27 April 2015; 11:18)

Infinity (52,314) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Took me a while to feel the song, After several listens, I now like it, I guess after a few more I will love it. It took me a while to like TAOLG but now I absolutely love that song. Anyways, but let's be real, the lyric video, although a good idea (since she sings fast) was a bad visual. Especially the "close the door" part. I really want the video to come out real soon and please not next week. Event though I am still not completely into the song, I am happy to see a lot of lambs here and on twitter are really happy and excited about it. So I hope it works out for Mimi. I don't know where the 90s nostalgia is coming from though, it's quite a different sound from Mariah. It kind of reminds me of "Lips are Movin'" by Meghan Trainor. That's a song I really enjoy too. I'm not saying they sound alike, I'm just saying the song reminds me of it. Maybe because of the same theme. Another coincidence is that L.A. Reid is behind both the songs. (Monday 27 April 2015; 11:17)

Infinity (52,313) by Fulvio from Belgium The song has to grow on people I think, but after several listenings, I quite like it. I love the "take your head, knock some sense" part. I really hope the promotion will be good this time. It's all about promoting the song. Have a good day you all. (Monday 27 April 2015; 11:06)

Infinity (52,312) by Elena from The Netherlands First listen sounded a bit messy, love the lyrics, but I can't imagine it being a hit. Even if it will be it's only going to be if there's heavy promo. I love the use of the violin, it would be a good album cut but there is nothing celebratory about it which would be fitting for the new nr 1's album. If #Beautiful came out now with heavy Sony promo, that would've been the one that would be her 19th, no doubt. Such a loss. Wishing her all the best in her new era she seems to be doing well and I'm proud that she's making some real changes, but this song to me is a dissapointing step in her good flow. (Monday 27 April 2015; 11:03)

Infinity (52,311) by NHYTG from nyc The lyrics video is on MariahCareyVevo, it's absolutely great, so classical Mariah but without sounding like one of her older songs. Already doing well in Asia, steaming up in Europe and #60 in the US at this moment already. (Monday 27 April 2015; 10:33)

Heartbreaker (52,310) by Randy from USA Bored. I'm not feeling the song. I guess it's going to have to grow on me. I was hoping for a song I would instantly love. And this is not #1 material. And once again, why does she insist on laying down vocals she has no chance of replicating live? (Monday 27 April 2015; 10:21)

Infinity (52,309) by Gilles from Malta First listening it was okish. I loved the end. Second listening I loved the lyrics. Third listening I'm hooked. I do not know if it will be a hit but I like the beat and the lyrics and the end of the song. Happy infinity to everybody. Enjoy and buy the track. (Monday 27 April 2015; 9:28)

Infinity (52,308) by Bill from the UK Wow. There will no doubt be a plethora of messages about Infinity so I will keep it short and sweet. It really is one of her best, and a real contender for #19. Wishing Mariah every success and happiness for this new chapter. (Monday 27 April 2015; 8:43)

Abraham (52,306) by Dove from USA Happy birthday Abraham. LYM. (Monday 27 April 2015; 8:23)

Good song ''Infinity'' (52,305) by David F from Mexico Wow, I've just heard ''Infinity", it is a cute song with a lot of help for the brokenhearted, miss Carey always helping. I like the begining, the middle section and the end is gorgeous like haha very melodic. There is [...], up [...] elements a LA Megan trainor, this song can really catch people. It's funny and gives us hope. I like it so much just fits me, LA Reid and Mariah have a hit on their hands just play it on and on radio, I never thought Mariah could polish herself like this good. (Monday 27 April 2015; 8:21)
