Someday / Fantasy (51,858) by Giselle #1 Mariah Critic from USA I really don't even understand why she would include the MTV unplugged version of Someday. Mariah needs to sit down and realize that yes "VOL", "LTT" were great hits but it was "Someday" sweetie that lit Rythmic radio on fire back in the day. I can't tell you how many times as a kid I used to hear that on the radio. Everyone would get their life on that song. I don't understand what she finds terrible about it, the beat is outdated but that soggy is pure early 90's realness. "Fantasy" ODB remix isn't really my favorite, I wish they could find a way to merge the original with ODB's verse from the remix. Every time I listen to the remix I have to listen to the original right after because you just feel something is missing in the remix version like it's not finished. I'm over the cover, Mariah needs to work on her insecurities and embrace her figure now. Her head looks like they stuck it right in a models body. Her album covers have always looked weird though if you study them. I don't like any of them. E=MC2 era of pics were great I admit, the color scheme and everything was on point.

April 27 (51,857) by Darryle from USA I don't think I've ever been this excited for a new single. Mariah's really hyping this song up so I have a feeling that it's a really good song. I hope we get a teaser soon. I don't think I can wait until the 27th. (Wednesday 15 April 2015; 4:00)

Uptown Funk vs Infinity (51,856) by supafly from I wish MC would bring the release of Infinity forward. How fitting and divalicious would it be if Mariah came to defend her title with her next #1 hit by stripping Uptown Funk from the top spot? A lamb can only dream. (Wednesday 15 April 2015; 3:47)

Lamb for life (51,855) by L4LTiD from UK I have been a fan of Mariah since day one, I'm old enough to remember hearing Vision of Love on the radio in 1990 and feeling it deep in my soul, with those thrilling highs, I felt like a bird having the cage door opened and soaring towards the great blue yonder and freedom. I have over the years come to this message board to get snippets of news and keep up with what's happening, it was always used to be a great forum for what was going on and lambs expressing their thoughts, hopes and feelings. Lately it feels like a really negative space, so much so that I wanted to write this post. Mariah is a diva, yes she is and that's why I love her, but she is also human and I have come to accept the way she looks, sounds and dresses. Who am I to judge? Am I a world famous singer with 18 number ones, a back catalogue of hits and more money than I could ever spend? No and I am at peace with that. I think it is fine to express disappointment and a wish for her to succeed when she fails, but do we have to be so negative within ourselves? We are lambs are we not? Let's try and act like a flock of fabulousness rather than a herd of hatred. (Wednesday 15 April 2015; 3:06)

Andrew (51,854) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA I was technically being nice to you but now you have officially p***** me off. I do not care to know what revered means because I already do and my message to you still applies. You are stupid in your approach and ignorant in your delivery when you message on this board. If you are going to bully someone and tell them what to buy and how to act, then maybe, you should go back to Elementary School and play with your friends in the playground. You seem to get too involved in others personals and really you should work on your self esteem. You seem insecure and love to hurt others. You're childish (rude) antics would get you more than a comment if I saw you in person. Next time you want to indirectly disrespect or shade me, realize this, I dont care about you. I care about your disrespect to others on this board. So please take several seats on the very top row of a 64,000 seat stadium, where you belong because I am enjoying the clear view in the very first row. Good day. (Wednesday 15 April 2015; 2:01)

Bruno Mars - One Sweet Day (51,853) by MC1989 from Spain Does it work now? [Webmaster: No.] (Wednesday 15 April 2015; 1:53)

#1 To Infinity (51,852) by NYHotShotta from USA I was actually hoping she'd have four new songs on there like the #1's album had. I'm also hoping she has some behind the scenes footage, interviews, live performances as well. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 22:23)

Infinity sound (51,851) by Jono from USA I'm dying to know what kind of sound Infinity will be. Mariah is the queen of ballads, but it would be nice to hear something more uptempo. I mean she knows how to do bangers as well (Migrate, YDKWTD). Unfortunately those two songs never got the attention they deserved. Speaking of YDKWTD, don't underestimate Mariah's knack of being ahead of the curve. Someone who has been producing for 25 years and is pretty much an expert. When #Beautiful was released, she was already using old school Motown vibes. Guess which song similar in that sound is a huge hit right now (Uptown Funk). In fact many artists are now doing the old school funk sound - the cute "Somebody" song that samples Whitney, Jason's "Want to Want Me", etc. Mariah knew this already back in 2013, and had it not been for personal matters she would have been leading the throwback movement. Heck, Glitter in retrospect has been acknowledged as being ahead of its time. A YDKWTD kind of energy is the summer song that can crossover and make it a universal hit. Something that doesn't sacrifice her vocals, and although a dance beat, doesn't sound like a rehash of a generic Calvin Harris / David Guetta / Stargate beat. If Mariah is confident enough to include only one song, and have it be listed at #19 on an album specifically titled #1s To Infinity, I'm confident. She knows what's up. Add in Brett Ratner as the director and this could be huge. Onwards. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 22:14)

Infinity / new album (51,850) by 123 from USA I believe they are putting all their energy on this new song. It is smart to just release one song if it's good. I also like the fact that they are dropping the song and video on the same day since video streams now count towards chart position. If it is a halfway decent video, she may get a good amount of video streams and if the song is available to purchase it could have a great start charting. Since this is the only new song on an album full of number ones, it would be great that they focus all their attention promoting it. No wonder she rushed back into the studio to record a new album, if this song catches steam and goes number one, they will need to drop another single/album 3 to 4 months from now to strike while the iron is hot.

Bruno Mars - One Sweet Day (51,849) by MC1989 from Spain Have you seen this video from Bruno Mars singing One Sweet Day? How appropiate now that he's about to beat Mariah's 16 weeks-at-number-one record. [Webmaster: Why do you always post YouTube links that don't work?] (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 20:28)

Favoriet ballads (51,848) by Warrior Butterfly from USA "And You Don't Remember" and "Music Box", I always have had a special soft spot for those. I believe it's the way that she's using her whole voice. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 20:21)

My all / 1997 (51,847) by Abraham from USA I love "My all". The lyrics along with Mariah's vocals are amazing. I don't understand why many say her voice in '97 was shot or the beginning of its deterioration, I don't think that at all. I actually perfer Mariah's voice in '97 than in '95. My all time favorite performance is "Make it happen" from "Divas live". Her singing was on point, along with those vocals and the way she worked that stage. I really would like to see Mariah like that again. Energized with life wanting to sing. I'm pretty I'm not the only one who feels this way. That's exactly how she should be in Vegas. No gowns or tight dresses where she can't move. Why not something comfortable and loose? Hell rock a damn pant suit. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 20:02)

Shelly (51,846) by Andrew from UK Shelly, people are allowed to disagree with you. Where did all that personal stuff come from? Chill out. So I disagree with your position. I'm allowed to say it. I think I may speak for some other Mariah fans also. And some people should look the word "revered" up. And comprehend sentences before they try to silence people. Yes I'm very critical at the moment. There's much to be critical/analytical about. When there is positive stuff I will shout it aloud. Like "Infinity". Great title and if it's a killer upbeat summer track Mariah may just pull something off. And I'll shout it from the rooftops. Yet people should not be intimidated into not being critical because some attack dogs want to prevent them from being so. We each get to decide if we are fans are not, nobody else. Even the Lilly-white ones and the racists that label them so. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 19:58)

My All / Stay Awhile (51,845) by B from USA Mariah is the queen of the remix. I have a hard time picking my favorite but My All/Stay Awhile is in my Top 5. Sampling and interpolating Stay Awhile, Little Child was a stroke of genius. She's a musical genius. That's why I'm not worried about Mariah Carey becoming a has-been like some of you seem to think she has become. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 19:21)

Shelly (51,844) by Bill from the UK Shelly, you're loved by many on this board, as Annie Wilkes in Misery said "I'm your number one fan" lol. Don't take heed to anyone targeting you for daring to post positive and excited thoughts on a fan site dedicated to your favourite artist (which is supposed to bring like minded people together). We love you, appreciate you, and adore you. They can say anything they want to say, try to bring you down, but you won't face the ground, you will run steadfastly sailing out of their reach. Pay no attention to those cock-a-doo-dee dirty birds. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 19:11)

My All (51,839) by Raphael from Brazil I think My All is her best ballad. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 18:46)

Re: (51,836) by G.G. from USA (51,838) by MIAM from United Kingdom You are absolutely right. Lol never mind eh. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 17:18)

My All is a masterpiece (51,837) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada My favorite ballad. So many layers in the arrangement. Her vocals are stunning and the lyrics are breathtaking. To this day My All/Stay Awhile and the club mix are two of my fave remixes ever. So good. That song is amazing along with ATYNAF and the incredibly awesome "Joy To the World" remix video. And I was listening to "Melt Away" last night, her lower register is like velvet. Such a great track. Life is short, guys. There's always something to be upset about. Happiness is a choice.

Re: post 51,785 by Timariah (51,836) by G.G. from USA Someone on the internet is looking for attention. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 16:37)

Ciara (51,835) by Lee TS from USA She gets legendarily dragged on this one ratchet blog I like to visit for her floppage, but I think she's a cute girl with some cool tracks. She's also on Epic and guided by LA Reid and is gearing up for an album release. I'm kinda looking at it with a side eye just to see what LA and Epic can really do for their artists. I know M is on a different caliber as a supreme diva but I need LA to bank his life and kids on M's return to the top. Lol a bit dramatic but you get what I mean. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 16:29)

Bill (51,834) by May from Denmark Those are nice points you bring, I just simply hyperventilated myself with ideas haha but like Edward mentioned got to keep perspectives grounded and not have ridiculous expectatives. I am still at the edge of my chair for the upcoming new song and the video, I like her cover reveal idea to run the voice and all the pics she is sharing lately. I'm really rooting for her to have success in this upcoming Vegas. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 16:19)

Mariah in Vegas (51,833) by Joe from United Kingdom Onto [...]. I honestly feel like this is her last chance as a live performer if she can pull it off from the first night and improve as it goes on then great. On that first night that is when all eyes are gonna be on her and she needs to deliver, she can't start off terribly then improve while nobody is watching because the media will most definitely pounce. I can deal with some lip synching in small doses as long as it is convincing and new pre-recorded parts and not the same vocals from the 90's versions because that is highly unrealistic. I'm rooting for her to do well but if it don't happen then maybe it's time to call it a day as a live performer and just release music only as I'll never stop want to hear new music but I don't know how much more vocal media scandals I can take. I sound slightly negative but I'm looking forward to [...] and hope it all goes well. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 15:39)

Infinity and 1's (51,832) by Joe from United Kingdom People I know personally say I'm very critical but when I come here I feel tame in comparison. Onto my point, am I upset about Photoshop? Not really, this is Mariah we're talking about, lets be real. I'm not crazy about the title but overall I'm happy that her team seems to be doing what needs to be done to get people talking. It's off to a good start so far. The cover reveal was a genius idea. It's a greatest hits with one extra song. If you want to buy it, go ahead, if you want the one song, buy that. I don't see what there is to cry about. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 15:32)

European lambs (51,831) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Are you all excited about Mariah including her European number 1s on the European version of the album. From what I read TGIFY, Someday and IDWTC have been replaced by Endless Love, Against All Odds and Without You. Is it a yay or nay for you all? (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 15:11)

Timariah (51,830) by Dove from USA I changed my mind. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 15:09)
