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)

The challenge (52,788) by Warrior Butterfly from USA I've been digging the remixes she done over the years. "Someday", "Anytime you need a friend", "Fly away (Butterfly reprise)" to name a few. I love that Infinity itself has no guest or featured people, straight Mariah Carey. Makes me wonder if they will do remixes later. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 22:22)

Ethan (52,787) by NHYTG from nyc Your post on Mariah's lyrics was the best, it really made me grin. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 21:21)

Bravo to Lamb_O_Chop, B and Ethan: #1 To Infinity (52,786) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I love your posts because I love Infinity too. It's classic Mariah Carey. From the #1: Someday and Prisoner to Alone In Love, Can't Let go, If It's Over, And You Don't Remember, through Everything Fades Away, Long Ago, Breakdown to DIDT, Clown, YHYC through Obsessed, UOMF and Thirsty. Mariah even said as much when she told us she wrote it to fit the evolution of her as a songwriter and artist. It's familiar in theme but still innovative enough to show her enormous growth and flexibility as a songwriter over 25 uninterupted years of artistry. Mariah has managed to stay true to her core self and still give us fans new gems to cherish. Not all entertainers have the integrity, let alone talent, to pull that off. Even those lambs who don't like Infinity should be able to appreciate that and realise that Mariah can't please everybody all the time, not even herself. Otherwise it's like spending your last wish on getting the genie back in the bottle when the least you can do is wish her well. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 21:21)

4/27 (52,785) by B from USA When We Belong Together came out I was in and on/off relationship that began on 4/27/04. His sister contacted me before the title to Infinity leaked and before I had heard the single. I have to say I might love this song because it describes my feelings about him perfectly. I was the best thing that ever happened to him. The fact that the song was released on what would have been our 11th anniversary is the cherry on the cake. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 21:08)

I am back (52,784) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA After reading the comments like "aren't you glad the regulars left" and "its about time newbies are finally commenting", I have changed my mind and will be officially back. You ignorant people just couldn't be quiet and decided that you are the most happy without regulars. Last time I checked this is not a competition. Its a damn messageboard and your stupid comments is the reason I'm back. If you are looking for balance and new people, oh too bad. The more you all talk about wanting regulars gone, the more they will come back. [...] (Sunday 3 May 2015; 21:02)

Do you think we are going to get good videos of Mariah performing in Vegas? (52,783) by Nick from USA I just realized that at the Colosseum in Vegas they are very strict on recording videos, and other stuff like that, do you think that they are going to be strict with the Mariah show aswell? (Sunday 3 May 2015; 20:37)

Travon The Nostalgic (52,709) / Stockholm syndrome? (52,782) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End One aber: Most Europeans have a much more liberal approach to censorship of four letter words like lamb so I don't think it's the best indication of Eric's personal opinion that he allows colourful language. Other than that, I mostly agree with you Travon. It is very much a question of delivery, incidentally Mariah has always been brilliant in hers. Me? I am admitedly non-chill when that particular mood strikes, I make no false pretences that I'm unbiased in any way. I am very much partial, all lambs are. Meanwhile suspect figures are trying to make the argument that a lamb doing what lambs are inhetently supposed to do are the ones being disruptive on a Mariah Carey board. But it's also very much a matter of sheer volume. Occasional hate of a song, video, dress, live performance etc is natural, most fans have minor gripes about a lot of things Mariah does just like we do about the people and things in our own private lives daily. But when that's your default position I will cry foul, every time. When you never support or defend Mariah, let alone like her music, yet you insist on regularly posting on a Mariah message board? Well, that is beyond the pale and it's just blatantly disrespectful. I find it very interesting that some posters deny the very existence of Mariah haters. Like, why would the very mention of real Mariah haters possibly posting on this board irk you so much unless you're aligned with their agendas or worse, coerced into fighting their battles? (Sunday 3 May 2015; 20:29)

Female collabo? (52,781) by MIAM from United Kingdom Why hasn't MC collaborated with another female artist? It's A Wrap only had Mary added to the song. At this point she needs to venture out of the same ol' same ol', and try something different to what everyone is used to from her. What is she afraid of? A proper collaboration single with another female artist that is current would bring her back to normality in the public eye and do wonders for her reputation. Just saying. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 19:23)

Live in the studio vs live in concert (52,780) by Marcus from Brazil There must be something wrong with anybody who thinks that any artist who can sing their songs live in the studio will be able to easily replicate it live in concert, because according to that logic, it's their voice anyway. Well, when singing live on stage you don't have time to do perfect cut and paste or taking breaks of maybe weeks during sessions. Singing live is the ultimate challenge for any vocalist. Acting on stage is more challenging than acting in a movie where a scene can be re-shoot over and over until it comes out right. On stage, you only have one shot. So, it is ridiculous the analogy that if they can sing it live in the studio, they can definitely replicate it live, especially when a person has suffered evident damage in their vocal cords. You can be the biggest fan, but that doesn't mean you have to be so ignorant. If you own a computer, broadband Internet and a smart phone, you should know these things. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 19:00)

Re: Jon (52,779) by John from Italy Thank you so much Jon. I tried to develop the strength that was missing in the original version. When I played back the mix for the first time, I couldn't believe it sounded so powerful and so "Mariah-like", even more than the original version. I don't know why they did that way. Maybe Mariah and her team wanted something clean and have tried to avoid too many overlappings. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 18:37)

John / enhanced mix (52,778) by Marcus from Brazil I love your mix, but whatever happened to the second verse? You've left it out. If you find a way to incorporate it into your mix, in my opinion, Mariah should hire you. It is ridiculous the talent of some fans out there. How can some fans with some regular software can create mixes that sound more professionally done than the original? Kudos to those who have created these mixes, they definitely offer an alternative to those who don't like the official song. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 17:55)

Infinity positivity (52,777) by TheOne from Philippines I did not post something lately because of the bad vibes in this board. This is my first time to say something about this song. When I first heard this song, I suddenly liked it. This is what I expect from Mariah to release because of its title and the rumored review that it is all about Nick (which it isn't). This is the song that Mariah "needs" to release now to regain her throne at the charts because this is what she's "known" lately. Did you notice her last releases like Obsessed, UOMF, #Beautiful and her last #1 hit, TMB? If she released some songs ala EOM, most non-fans will find her "irrelevant" and "dated". 2005 music is really different from 2015 music guys. Infinity definitely looks "hot" from the non-fans. I honestly think that it will land to Hot 100 without any promotion because the song speaks for itself. Besides, MC looks hot lately. She looks like 34 or 35. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 16:17)

To infinity (52,776) by B from USA Mariah Carey released two back to back albums that are now considered classics and she wasn't and still isn't given the credit that she deserves. Not because of her antics but because the industry can't get past the fact that she married Tommy. I'll be seeing Mariah Carey in Las Vegas in six days. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 15:57)
