Infinity (52,284) by Alex from England Guys, let's not jump onto the "it'll be her 19th number 1 hit" jumpwagon. Every single time Mariah has been on the verge of releasing the lead single to a new album, everyone starts saying this before even hearing the song. Yes, I would love for her to achieve this feat as it would mean she'd have #1's in 3 different decades but let's be honest, it is a stretch. I'm not saying it is not possible as Mariah has shown us many times there is nothing impossible. That being said, I know how this works: Mariah is about to release a single, no one has heard it, everyone is saying it'll be her next #1, then it doesn't happen, then everyone is disappointed, then negativity ensues, then people turn on her. I've watched this happen since 2009. Let's be happy we're about to hear a new song, then we can make up our minds how we feel about it and maybe assess if indeed it is a contender for a #1 spot on the chart. Oh how I wish. Good luck Mariah. (Monday 27 April 2015; 2:15)

Re: All 18 (52,282) by Tevin (52,283) by Dove from USA Great idea. Me too. The wait is killing me. (Monday 27 April 2015; 1:57)

All 18 (52,282) by Tevin from USA As much as it is going to kill me. I think I'm going to watch all 18 number one videos in order then listen to infinity. I can't wait for tommorow. (Monday 27 April 2015; 1:38)

Luis Miguel (52,281) by SM from Citizen of the World She still loves him, I know she does. (Monday 27 April 2015; 1:36)

Webmaster (52,280) by Fulvio from Belgium Thanks for censoring half of my former message. I don't understand. I wasn't saying anything rude about that Wendy. It makes no sense. Are you really from the Netherlands or from China? Anyway peace. [Webmaster: I have no idea what you're talking about, I did not censor a single letter of your message.] (Monday 27 April 2015; 1:34)

Infinity to #1 (52,277) by T from USA Guys, it is really important to report all illegal links to the song starting tomorrow. Any YouTube videos with altered pitches get them broken. This is what Taylor Swift fans do and it works very well in making her songs chart higher with more success. A fan doesn't help Mariah when they make videos with altered pitches. That will turn some buyers off because it doesn't sound like her. Report it. That way Mariah's Vevo account can get all the views and it will help with the charts. Steam legally and remember to buy the single. This new song will be very important to Mariah's future with Sony. (Monday 27 April 2015; 0:59)

Mimi L (52,276) by Dove from USA You're probably right, KC was probably just enjoying her day. I just want everyone to fangirl over MC every time. The heart wants what it wants. (Monday 27 April 2015; 0:10)

Infinity / Wendy (52,275) by Fulvio from Belgium I can't wait for tomorrow. So excited. First thing in the morning, download Infinity. I have a really good vibe about this new chapter. And I'm sure MC will slay. (Monday 27 April 2015; 0:06)

My thoughts (52,274) by Darryle from USA Mariah will still be arriving in Vegas tomorrow. I'm thinking that since she won't premiere the video on the 27th that we might be getting a live performance of Infinity instead. Either that or she's going to be releasing a lyric video. (Monday 27 April 2015; 0:04)

Infinity (52,273) by Darryle from USA Infinity is 3 minutes and 58 seconds long. It was written by Mariah, Eric Hudson, and Priscilla Renea. Eric Hudson produced the hit Flashing Lights by Kanye West. Priscilla Renea has wrote/produced hits for people like Rihanna, Madonna, Chris Brown and Fifth Harmony. Infinity is produced by Mariah and L.A. Reid. The more details that get revealed the more excited I get. (Sunday 26 April 2015; 23:59)

May (52,272) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada I think she's talking about loving yourself from the inside out. Before anything external. Including relationships. That's the feeling I got anyway. (Sunday 26 April 2015; 23:26)

Infinity (52,271) by Tiina from Finland I'm so pumped up because of all the excitement, I can't wait to hear Infinity although I'm not sure what time it'll be out here in my country. It's past midnight here. I'm just devastated that I can't watch that live stream thing because I don't have an iPhone, so I can't use the Periscope app. How cruel to do that to me. Why can't they just stream it live on the internet or something, not everyone has an iPhone. I hope to God someone will upload all the clips on YouTube. I don't want to miss these moments. This is only my fourth Mariah album release that I get to enjoy unfold on real time after all. I hope the single is going to slay. I have a good feeling about this. (Sunday 26 April 2015; 23:06)

So excited (52,270) by May from Denmark I will be at bed and won't be able to listen it as soon as it hits. I have to take my daughter tomorrow to school pretty early, so at least I will be able to listen to it before I drop her off. Mega happy. I also wanted the video to come with the song as announced but since they are making it up with a surprise I will just eagerly wait for that video. Clearly Mariah wants everything to be perfect and I don't believe they will take a whole month to release the video anyway. I'm so anxious to hear the song I probably won't close my eyes tonight. On a side note, when I listened to Mariah's new message: "It's about loving yourself first before anybody or anything else in the most positive way," my husband said after it "Who said that, what a f* selfish jerk." Lol. Can't be denied that it can be misunderstood, I also cringed a bit at the idea. Love Mariah but to be honest, in my world, my child comes first every time. Unless she is specifically talking about a relationship, which perhaps, the phrase will have a whole new meaning recently when the song is out. (Sunday 26 April 2015; 22:57)

Waiting for Infinity (52,269) by MC1989 from Spain Fans from all over the world, tonight and tomorrow we're celebrating Mariah Carey. Let's support Mariah more than ever, maybe we'll get her 19 #1. Let's make it. Yes we can haha. (Sunday 26 April 2015; 22:22)

Giselle #1 Mariah critic / newcomer lamb (52,268) by Malcolm from Asia Ow. Now I see, I certainly know only a little bit about our Mimi haha. But when I'm reading on this messageboard my knowledge about her is growing and I'm fascinated by you all. I will call myself a newcomer lamb because I only admire her early last year and I'm somewhat irritated when I think that I wasn't able to see her shine in the 90s and appreciates her music before. I'm so jealous for those who witness the historic, iconic 90s Mariah until this day. But now when I hear her music, she touches me and introducing those "moments" whom I miss. Wendy Williams topic should be done because what we must doing by now is sit back, relax and hear this fabulous MC comeback. (Sunday 26 April 2015; 22:10)

Infinity (52,267) by LC from USA I honestly cannot wait until Infinity's release tonight because it seems like Mariah is excited for us to hear it, which means, hit or not, it's a song that she loves and is connected to. And the positive reviews so far definitely add fuel to my excitement. Anyway, to the fans concerned that there is no radio deal or that the official music video will not be released tomorrow, here's my opinion on the matter: I think this is a good thing. As seen with #Beautiful, a radio deal doesn't mean longevity. The song peaked at 15 and, although it went platinum, it was definitely not the hit it could have been. Also, I'm happy the official music video will not be released tomorrow. What she needs is a creative lyric video, not just the audio on Vevo, to stimulate interest in the fans and the public. Once the momentum has started, assuming Sony has a plan for Mariah and Infinity, then they can drop the music video. Also, if the music video dropped tomorrow, there would be nothing else to look forward to. Waiting for the video adds more excitement. As seen with their promotional campaign so far, Mariah wants to be "hot" and "cool" again with the young crowd, and to, ultimately, achieve another historic number 1 hit. To do that, she needs to get creative again. She needs to be ready to fight for her position. But, above all, she needs to deliver with her music. That's what she's known for. And, judging from Mariah's newfound confidence, I doubt we'll be disappointed. Until midnight lambs. (Sunday 26 April 2015; 21:53)

Mariah posted that Infinity is out tonight (52,266) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Who else will be immediately downloading? I have to say too, I think the dance routines for the #1's Infinity show are looking well put together. The Honey dance rehearsal is very cute with the clapping. Lol. (Sunday 26 April 2015; 21:43)

Infinity is coming out tonight at midnight on iTunes (52,265) by Nick from USA I am so excited. iTunes usually updates an hour before 12:00 aswell so that means we are probably getting the song at 11 PM EST. Who else is ready for the slayage? (Sunday 26 April 2015; 20:55)

Music video (52,264) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So Mariah confirmed that the video won't be out tomorrow but there is a surprise. I don't know whether I should be upset that they didn't stick to the promise of the video and audio release on the same day (because I have been super excited about it) or should I be thankful that atleast the song will be out tomorrow and a surprise. When I heard she just shot the video 3 days before the release, I was worried that a rushed video is probably not a good idea. So maybe it's good that they are taking time. But on the other hand they did make an announcement about it so long ago, they could have shot the video earlier. Either ways, I want to be positive and start this era with positivity so I'll be happy that we are getting the song tomorrow and excited about the surprise and other events unfolding as the day goes on. Best of luck Team MC. (Sunday 26 April 2015; 20:49)

Shelly (52,263) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was thinking the same about "Wendell". After posting that, I thought that ok no I'll not call her that anymore. I disagree with a lot of things she says about MC but just because a person is bad doesn't mean we should be bad to them as well. Either ignore them or just be polite, that should be the motto I guess. As for Kelly, I don't think it's necessary for everyone to fan girl over MC all the time. I mean Kelly is established on her own rights and she is a mom and it's her day (her birthday) so I wouldn't be too upset about her not being uber enthusiastic. The fact that she is a major Mariah fan is quite obvious. She has always named her as an inspiration and she completely fan girl-ed over Mariah on AI. And MC also was very sweet with her. In her defense she did reply to only Mariah and no other celeb whom I'm sure did wish her on her birthday. For everyone else she just left a general message. It's Kelly's day, it should be about her not about her fangirling. (Sunday 26 April 2015; 20:41)

Wendy Williams (52,262) by Marissa from USA My issue with Wendy is that she always talks about Mariah as if she is so much better and more stable than she is. At least Mariah wasn't hooked on crack and coke for years like Wendy. Wendy needs to humble herself and remember her lowest points in life which were much worse than Mariah wearing an evening gown in a subway. Overall Mariah is fine. She just retreats into this eccentric state of mind to protect herself from facing some harsh realities, but she isn't crazy and Wendy knows that. Wendy's a mean-spirited witch who thinks her childish comments will bring down a legend, and they never will. (Sunday 26 April 2015; 20:31)

Midnight / 5am release time (52,261) by Will from England Well, the release time has been set (confirmed just now by Mariah), let the excitement begin. (Sunday 26 April 2015; 20:19)

Wendy, then done (52,260) by Ardis Logic from Earth This woman is a gossip pusher. I think she can be cool when she wants to. I also think she says what she is told to say, by her bosses, for ratings and such. I truly think she does like MC but just like "sex sells", "gossip sells" so she's gotta do what she does to get those ratings. Anyway it doesn't matter what "anybody' says. MC is gonna do what she does best and that is make hits you all. Woot woot. (Sunday 26 April 2015; 19:58)

MC back on radio (52,259) by Ardis Logic from Earth It's so awesome when you're doing your daily routine and you hear a Mariah song on the radio. They must be playing the hell out of MC songs right now. I listened to the radio on the way to work this morning and heard "Hero" on an adult contempo station. Then on the way to lunch break I hear "Heartbreaker (remix)" on an old school hip-hop station. So awesome. I love it. This new song is gonna blow up the air waves. Get ready. It's gonna be a big one. (Sunday 26 April 2015; 19:54)

Don't Play That Song and random thoughts (52,257) by Dove from USA I've been playing DPTS on repeat all morning. (Thanks for the DL Edward.) I still have The First Vision on VHS but I don't have a VCR and YouTube quality is hit or miss. Did you guys watch the first season of American Idol? Kelly Clarkson was a huge lamb, but she wasn't allowed to sing Mariah songs, so she would cover songs that Mariah had covered. When she sang DPTS, I remember thinking, "I know this one." Kelly is my second favorite vocalist after MC. The other day Mariah wished Kelly a happy birthday on Twitter. I was super excited but then super disappointed KC didn't fangirl more. She didn't even retweet it. I want them to sing together so much. Back to DPTS, I wonder if MC had TM in mind when she was singing that song. Usually we like songs that fit our current situation. MC has said that she and TM had a good relationship up until they got married. I believe she did love him in the beginning. I like listening to Now That I Know because it makes me think that there were at least some happy moments with TM. (Sunday 26 April 2015; 19:39)
