Fav album / Mimi L (52,906) by Mara from United States Fav albums are Emotions and Butterfly. Mimi L I must say I am loving your posts right now. You are speaking what is on my mind. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 4:53)

Favorite album (52,905) by Stacey from USA Um hello? Daydream. Duh. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 4:28)

Lol Lee TS (52,904) by Marcel from Montréal, Canada I certainly think that you're kidding by saying Ariana and Christina should pay a visit to Mariah in Vegas. I mean, sure they both, among a lot others, have mentioned MC as one of their biggest influences (mostly Ariana) but I guess they have gotten the message quite clear: Mariah doesn't like any single female artist with a good voice. She actually hates them and have been pretty open about it always throwing shades on them (just saying shade because nobody likes to read visceral comments). The only one white female singer with a good voice that wasn't trashed by Mariah's comments was Jessica to whom she only said something on the likes of "she's like my mini-me" something that although not rude or bad, was still a bit egocentric. And lastly, Jessica was on Sony as well. I guess it must be quite sad for someone like Ariana and Christina when getting started mentioning Mariah as an inspiration and then realising that MC does not want to say anything positive about them, not even say "thanks for considering me as an influence on your singing" or something. That's why a lot of people tend to dislike her. It was like when MC was hanging phones on DJs just because she didn't want to be asked about the wedding rumour and such. You hang phones to radio DJs and they won't be playing you that much. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 4:15)

Billboard Awards (52,903) by Darryle from USA On twitter when asked about whether or not her performance will be live or pre-taped she simply said she's planning something special with Big Jim. I don't know what this means but I hope she's doing it live. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 4:03)

Mimi (52,902) by B from USA The Billboard Award should give Mariah an honorary trophy, in recognition of all of her Billboard chart records. Most weeks at #1, longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, most number ones by a solo artist, and back to back Billboard Songs of the Decade. Hopefully, they at least acknowledge her Billboard achievements before she preforms. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 3:48)

Re: Jono, radio ageism (52,838) / sexism in entertainment (52,900) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End Male entertainers can afford scandals left and right while their female counterparts have to work 5 times as hard to achieve the same status and respect as artists, let alone producers and songwriters. Madonna has been relatively protected until now, probably due to another ism, ironically. To be fair I don't follow her enough to know if she's always had a gripe with ageism. I just can't remember her ever claiming her predecessors or musical influences. Unlike Mariah, very unlike Mariah. Notice how the narrative when it comes to women of a certain age in the media at large is: "the perpetual comeback". Paul McCartney was just featured as a collaborato on Rihanna and Kanye's Four Five Seconds. He's as old as they get and still no one would dare suggest he made any sort of comeback. As a female on the other hand, your last "performance" determines everything about what will be the story they tell about you no matter how successful you become. Remember Rockefeller? See also Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson for reference. I don't know, but I could be right. My 2¢. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 3:32)

Infinity music video (52,899) by T from USA Mariah confirmed that she's shooting the video this week. That's exciting. I just had an idea that I think would be bring together past and present and tie right into her #1's project. She should bring back every "villian" or douche boyfriend from every video she's done. (The two bodyguards in Honey, the cheater in Heartbreaker, Eric Roberts, Wentworth Miller, compu-nerd, the obsessed stalker and Bianca). Out of all those only "Obsessed" isn't part of her #1's but I would still include him because it would be hilarious. Many of those people were in Bret directed videos as well. She could use Infinity to bring them all back and kick them all to the curb. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 2:59)

The Billboard Music Awards performances are gonna be LIVE (52,898) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End So said the queen herself just minutes ago on Twitter. She would have time to both open the festivities and accept the Award for most #1 Hot 100 songs by a solo artist. There better be a freaking stellar montage honouring that amazing achievement. without being late to the 8pm show. I'm hoping Fifth Harmony and Mariah finality meet backstage so they can finally fangurl in person and pitch their idea of having MC do a cameo in the Like Mariah video. I want M to sing VOL and Infinity. Anything else is a bonus. Also, can we talk about the continuously great synergy around Mariah right now? I mean, what were the chances of the Billboard Music Awards landing in Vegas this year and on a day Mariah isn't required to be on vocal rest? I still believe this is the year of the Butterfly. When is the official 25th anniversary date? Is it the Mariah Carey album release date or VOL's? (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 2:43)

Mimi L. (52,897) by Jon from Netherlands Do you have any link for WBT at Las Vegas? (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 2:16)

Justin (52,896) by B from USA Justin is attending the Billboard Awards. I just said that I think he'll be among the celebrities present for the opening night of Mariah's residency. Preforming Infinity at the Billboard Awards would be excellent cross promotion for the single, album, and residency. Mariah wisely scheduled dates at least three days apart. She is indeed taking care of her voice, which sounded amazing from the leaked showcase (dress rehearsal). I think she spent the past few months working on her voice. (Wednesday 6 May 2015; 1:26)

Billboard Awards held in Vegas (52,895) by Rene from US From what I read, her appearance at the Billboard awards is official. There is an article posted here on MCArchives. It says that "Carey will appear on the May 17 show in Las Vegas". Mariah just needs to walk from the Colloseum to the awards. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 23:40)

Justin Bieber (52,894) by Lee TS from USA Umm no he's not in Vegas. He was last seen in NY for the Met Gala for the fierce and fabulous. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 23:29)

Favorite album (52,893) by Jake from New Zealand I'd have to say Daydream, although I really love her debut too. It contains my all time favourite song (Fantasy) and some of my other favorites (Forever and ABMB). (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 23:22)

B / rumors (52,892) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I found some bleak tweets on Twitter. I don't really believe them of course, but just saying, they better not do that. I know she's in Vegas, but I think the rumor started because she has a residency show on the same day. So yeah. Anyways, I am not paying it much heed. I would love her performance at the BBMAs to include her previous hits. I was getting frustrated that none of the major awards shows are celebrating the 25th anniversary of one of the most influential artists of all time and a living legend. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 23:12)

Celebrity guests (52,891) by Lee TS from USA I think Ariana and Christina should also pay M a visit as they cited her as musical inspiration. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 23:12)

Music Box (52,890) by Ardis Logic from Earth "Music Box" is my all time favorite Mariah Carey album. It is very near and dear to my heart. When it first came out, I didn't have enough money to buy the album, so a friend of mine let me borrow his. When I went to return it to him he said I could have it. I was so happy and grateful that he let me have it. I have listened to this album so many times, probably more than any other album I own. When I first heard "Dreamlover" and saw the video I was so in love with Mariah. The songs "Hero" and "Anytime You Need a Friend" pretty much saved my life. The title track was so beautiful. I love the feel of the whole album and never have gotten tired of it. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 23:04)

Mimi (52,889) by B from USA I'm assuming that Justin will be in attendance since he's in Vegas and he's worked with her and sung her praises. I also think Miguel with be there. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 23:00)

Infinity performance / favorite album (52,888) by Abraham from USA I really can't say anything about it other than that whistle which was flawless. It almost sounded too good. "Music box" is my favorite album. Great music, songs and voice. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 22:54)

BBMA and mini concert (52,887) by Licia from USA Are the Billboard Awards live or pretaped? I haven't watched in years. I am asking because by looking at her supposed appearances, she has the Billboard Awards on the 17th and then she tapes the mini concert for Jimmy Kimmel on the 18th in Los Angeles. I'm just wondering how that's going to work out. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 22:49)

Favorite album (52,885) by Jono from USA That's a tough one, but I think it comes down to a tie between Butterfly and The Emancipation Of Mimi. In my opinion the two career defining works of Mariah. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 22:11)

B (52,884) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Is Justin's attendance confirmed? You are right about Britney and Mayweather too. I haven't heard any other singer being named an "inspiration" for the current lot of A list singers than the number of people who cite MC as their musical inspiration. So they better go and give the queen a visit. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 22:11)

Marissa (52,883) by B from USA I agree with you. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 22:09)

Rumors (52,881) by B from USA She'll be performing live in person at the Billboard Awards. The show might include some kind of retrospective of her Billboard accomplishments. A hologram? She's in Vegas. Where did you read that or hear that because it's hilarious. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 22:08)

Favorite album (52,880) by Marissa from USA The unparalleled vocal slayage that is Daydream . (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 22:05)

Mimi (52,879) by B from USA Justin Beiber will be front row opening since he's already in Vegas. If Britney isn't preforming I'd say she'll be there. Mayweather will likely be there as well. (Tuesday 5 May 2015; 22:00)
