Just pre-ordered #1 To Infinity (51,720) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End The only thing that really annoyed me was the shipping cost. Does Live Nation not have the ability to print CDs over here in Europe? I don't have the original #1's anymore because a friend of a friend "borrowed it" without permission and never gave it back. I wish it had been a double disc effort with her debut demos though. Maybe that's coming too if this release is successful enough? (Monday 13 April 2015; 17:22)

One song / photoshop / peterpaul /B (51,719) by Dove from USA I'm glad there is only one new song, that way when Infinity hits #1 they will all be number 1's. Not everyone still has all of her CD's like we do, guys, and 19 hits is still pretty generous. If MC is marketed right, then all the kids will want to know her music, and this is a good place to start them. I'm sure there will be another album with all new music soon. I don't think she looks that different on the cover than how she looked on Ellen. You can tell it's retouched and airbrushed but I don't think it's drastic. Thanks for the love B. peterpaul people usually talk to me because I talk to them first. And probably because I'm on here every day. (Monday 13 April 2015; 17:21)

Ok last rant (51,718) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah's entire fanbase was there all day and night (in my case) helping her unlock a darn album cover. There was a two day countdown just for an album cover. I love the cover but was a two day countdown necessary? Even if it was, I think her fans should have been rewarded with snippets or a single or whatever. All this publicity for just one new track? I hope I have to bite my words and that there are new surprises, but as of now I feel betrayed. I would love nothing more than to be proven wrong by Mariah regarding my opinion now, but I think that after all the support we show her, she should have had done something more. Even if those were left overs from MIAM. (Monday 13 April 2015; 17:19)

New fans (51,717) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway Mariah has gotten a lot of new fans since she last released #1's, I hope they will buy the new album. I will buy it, even though I have every album she has released. But in the worst scenario the new album will sell less then MIAMTEC, and that I'm afraid will destroy her career, and all this while she is performing her hits in Vegas. I do have hopes though, can she show the world she is the greatest again? I do miss a good era, I love to read updates when she has a Billboard hit. (Monday 13 April 2015; 17:19)

#1 to infinity (51,716) by David from Australia I think this is just a release to compliment the Vegas residency so I'm not that fussed that there's only one new song. I'm glad it's being released on vinyl as well. (Monday 13 April 2015; 17:11)

The album (51,715) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I really hope MC announces that all the tracks are updated versions or something. I really wasn't a big fan of the idea of another #1's album. I mean people make their own playlists now and everyone already has these songs. So the only reason I eventually warmed up to the idea was because I thought that's how she wanted to celebrate her 25 years and also since there were rumors that there a lot of surprises in the album like new tracks (plural) and surprise duet versions of the #1's. Then there was also the buzz of the demo being included. But seriously, no I just can't accept that there is only one new song. Only the real fans would buy this album and even then some real fans will pass (and I can't blame) them. This album is not going to be bought by the general public. Compilation albums generally don't even sell much and on top of that if its an album that only has songs that people have listened to a million times what's the incentive to buy it? Two consecutive flop albums, Mariah can't afford to have another one. Compilation album or not, people won't get into details, they'll just blow up failure. (Monday 13 April 2015; 17:08)

Mariah's gonna lose even the lambily (51,714) by Nina from USA I am more than disappointed in this "new" CD release, I am offended. Does Mariah actually think I'm going to buy a CD of songs I already own for just one song I don't? I'm not going to do that just to put more money into her bank account. If the Infinity song is good I will buy the single but that's it. I feel like she's scamming us now and it saddens me to write that because I am such a fan. (Monday 13 April 2015; 17:04)

#1 to infinity (51,713) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I do like the cover, but I don't understand why they photoshop her that much. She is gorgeous just the way she is, I think she should be proud of her curves. I'm so excited about her new song, and even though I have lost some faith in how successfull she has the potential to be these days, I actually believe she has a hit in store with this song. How wonderful would it be if she got her 19th number one with that song. She would make headlines again, and I miss that. So, just two weeks and we can enjoy some fresh Mariah sound again, I can't wait. (Monday 13 April 2015; 17:02)

Speechless (51,712) by Gilles from Malta Ok there is nothing to be excited about the album except the new single. I really hoped that some tracks were going to be re-sung. Regarding the cover it is just another picture but for me the time that I used to have posters are over. I m not going to order the album but just the single. I have #1 at home, I do not need to have another brand new copy with just one new cover and a new single, such a waste of money. Anyway I hope that the single will be good.

Biggest flop in Mariah's career? (51,711) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands I'm afraid this will be the biggest flop in Mariah's career. Who will buy a greatest hits album when the most recent number 1 is seven years old? Only the fans will. But if you only give us one new song, why won't we buy just the song and not the album? This is not 1999 when you had to buy the album to get the 4 (!) new songs. I'm very, very disappointed. (Monday 13 April 2015; 16:52)

One new song? (51,710) by G.G. from USA No demos, duets or new material? I'll pass. (Monday 13 April 2015; 16:50)

Sad (51,708) by peterpaul from Ireland I just joined Twitter to follow Mariah. Sad I know, but hey may aswell. (Monday 13 April 2015; 16:41)

Another small rant (51,707) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So wasn't there a rumor that MC is re-recording her #1's as duets? Her tracklist is not showing any duet apart from the originals. So what happened to that? If she was re-recording them, then I'd probably be fine with just one new song (even though I'd prefer at least 4 new tracks) because at least the songs would be updated versions. Now I am just confused. What's going on? (Monday 13 April 2015; 16:32)

Album cover (51,706) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I never understand why people make such a big deal out of a CD/magazine cover being heavily photoshopped. I agree with the person who said that if I was on a CD/magazine cover, I'd make them photoshop it until I look flawless and enviable. I'm sorry but it's an artwork, nobody claimed it's a candid shot. So no one is lying. It's not a deception. And what would MC really get by putting on her real body on the cover? She'll be made fun of eitherways. People fat shame her on a daily basis. People are photoshop-shaming her now. I'd rather look fabulous (even if it is with the help of photoshop) and be made fun of rather than have a bad photo circulated. I don't think anyone in this day and age is naive enough to not know that every photoshoot is heavily photoshopped. My two cents. I don't care about the photoshop, what pissed me off is that she included only one new song on this album. (Monday 13 April 2015; 16:28)

New album (51,705) by Mara from United States Well we got the track listing and it's pretty much a no brainer, but no other surprises other than Infinity? No demos, duets, or even AIWFCIY? Well, she knows what she's doing, maybe there is more in the works. I just had to vent that I was a little disappointed. All in all I can't wait to hear the new song. Bring on April 27th. (Monday 13 April 2015; 16:24)

Disappointing tracklisting (51,704) by Martyn from England, UK So we're basically getting the #1's and one new track. Seems a bit silly to me, there's no incentive for long-time fans to buy what is essentially another lazy compilation album. There was a small, deluded part of me that thought we may get a second CD with a few demos or unreleased tracks, but of course we're not. (Monday 13 April 2015; 16:22)

April 27 (51,703) by MC1989 from Spain Infinity single out next Monday. (Monday 13 April 2015; 16:20)

Mimi L. Abraham and the long play of: We Love Everybody (51,702) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End I wanna say it's from April 29th 2014. The interviewer is Brazilian. I love how Mariah goes out of her way to not mention the the ones that shall remain nameless and ironically sans any #1's to their names. (Monday 13 April 2015; 16:19)

Album (51,701) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter What? Just one new song? Why is Mariah being such a miser? (Monday 13 April 2015; 16:18)

"Re-touch-my-body" (51,700) by Ardis Logic from Earth This cover looks good, but it's not "real". I am not a fan of Photoshop. Mariah is beautiful and stunning with her natural curves, to edit that into this unrealistic image is not something that I personally agree with. I don't think it sends a good message out there. It's almost like "the message" is "Mariah is too thick in real life to take real photos of her, so we have to edit her body to make it acceptable". That is really sad to me. Just as an example look at some of these albums before Photoshop. Etta James looks totally natural here and beautiful. Aretha Franklin looks stunning in this one. There are many ways to take pictures in a natural way that will compliment the body and make the subjects look stunning. (Monday 13 April 2015; 16:15)

1998 All Star Kmel Jam performance (51,699) by MC1989 from Spain Does anyone know where can I find the complete performance? She sang at least Fantasy and Sweetheart. On YouTube there's only this snippet. She looks increadible, so gorgeous and beautiful. (Monday 13 April 2015; 16:07)

Album cover (51,698) by peterpaul from Ireland If I was an artist and putting out an album, I won't allow an awful picture to dawn it, I'd be photoshopped to dear life. People will judge regardless. (Monday 13 April 2015; 16:06)

(51,696) by Bill from the UK The new album is available on vinyl (exclamation mark). This is too much. (Monday 13 April 2015; 16:01)

Photoshop (51,695) by peterpaul from Ireland I agree with [...] post andrew, [...] she's not the only female star out there touching up their photos, everyone [...] see on an album cover or in a magazine has been touched up. (Monday 13 April 2015; 16:01)

Andrew / coverart (51,694) by MC1989 from Spain I agree with Andrew. I like to see that they didn't overphotoshopped her face but they did with her body. Though it is very iconic and simple, I agree with you that it will (sorry, it is) generating bad press. The press from my country when it comes to Mariah sucks. They rarely talk about her music or her proffesional achievements, they focus on gossip (false affair with Brett Ratner, if she's fat, or Jamaica's playback). Only a few websites treat her as a living legend. Look at this article of one of the most important newspapers in Spain, they took the worst picture from one of her last appearences. Have you guys seen Mariah's latest picture in her Twitter? She looks like she has lost a lot of weight, looking very similar to the album cover. (Monday 13 April 2015; 15:51)
