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?

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.

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)

Infinty (52,775) by B from USA Mariah, Reid, and Sony/Epic are throwing all their might behind this single. I think it's a hit. I think it's the perfect song for her to reintroduce herself. She's not taking herself too seriously and it's catchy as the flu, even those witty verses. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 15:37)

Infinity video (52,774) by Billy from England, UK When is the video for Infinity going to be released? Does anyone know? (Sunday 3 May 2015; 15:16)

Jon (52,773) by Musti from UK Thanks for sharing that link. That was hilarious. A very entertaining read. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 15:02)

Hey you, yes you / the challenge (52,772) by Ardis Logic from Earth I have noticed a few people have said "I've been visiting this board for years but this is my first post." It's a good time to get some new people posting here. Since some of the "regulars" have decided to "take a break" I challenge those of you who rarely or have never posted before to finally "say something" today. Let make it totally random. Anything Mariah related, whatever it is. We need to lighten the mood around here and have a little fun. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 14:58)

Thoughts (52,771) by clueey23 from USA I love "Infinity". I don't understand how people judge a song. It's art not a science fair project. Here we have something totally new from our favorite and all people can do is complain. I think everything about this era has been done very well so far. I hear a hit when I hear "Infinity". I know a lot of you don't like r&b but as I've stated several times on this board, MC can sing anything, but she will always be an r&b artist, that's where her heart is. Never before has MC expressed herself like in this song before. It's very raw. Everything, the vocals, the production, seem very raw and honest. And I appreciate that she didn't put out a club banger right now because that's not where her head is at. I honestly think we will hear this song on the radio, the first since "#Beautiful". MC deserves this. Her past efforts went unnoticed not because of the material but because of the lack of simple promotion she is getting now. I can't wait to see her 5/20/15. I'm not one to judge. I honestly think we will see MC come full circle from where she was this time last year, "it's nothing that you don't already know". This song will be a hit because people will connect with this song. I'm happy that she is reintroducing her #1s because it's time. And I think we should have a new EP out before or after this Christmas project this year. Not a full album, just like 5-8 cuts, mixtape style, straight to iTunes. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 14:36)

Mariah, pervert and genious (52,770) by Jon from Netherlands Here is a great discussion on Mariah. A lot of fun to read. The part they call her pervert is funny. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 13:46)

John (52,769) by Jon from Netherlands Thank you so much for the remix. From 1:14 is almost exactly what I wanted. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 13:42)

Infinity enhanced mix (52,768) by John from Italy When I listened to the song, I liked it but felt that something was missing, so I made a raw mix to obtain a product closer to my taste. It was not intended for public release, but after reading many negative comments I decided to share it with you because I think it shows the true potential of the vocals and the melodies. The repositioning of the chorus at the beginning and other things have been inspired by the great re-edit of Awodaly that some of you published here some days ago, but I was mainly interested in enhancing the last part with many countermelodies a la Mariah, long note and so on (you could skip to 0:51 to hear the part with major changes). If you don’t like the original song, give it a chance in this version. I hope you will find the beauty and the pathos that the song inherently possessed, only it was not quite explicit. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 13:31)

Everyone calm down (52,767) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Can we all please calm down? Guys it's just a song. It's fine if someone loves it or someone hates it. Whatever we post should only be our opinions (and people should also take it as opinions) and not be portrayed as facts. Let's not try to force our opinions down each others throat and call out people for their opinions. It's hard when we all feel so passionately about MC but we should try. And please no more of the "fair weather fans versus true lamb" bull crap. That topic has been milked dry by now. We all are here because at some level we feel connected to Mariah and we love her. Let everyone voice their opinions and if you don't agree just state why your opinions differ but don't try to make others agree with you. Let's all just be respectful to each other and towards Mariah and try to engage in a healthy discussion or debate. No need to bring on the abuse. I don't think anyone who doesn't love Mariah atleast on some level has the time or need to post on this board so from that I'll assume everyone here is a fan whether they like something she puts out or not. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 13:28)

RJJ12 (52,766) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Seems like your wish has been granted. MC tweeted a picture getting read to go to the MayPac fight. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 13:21)

New pic (52,765) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Umm how gorgeous is this woman? Seriously, does she even age? (Sunday 3 May 2015; 13:19)
