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)

Norman (51,828) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hey, so basically there is just one line about it saying "Included as the final track on the collection is Mariah’s breathtaking new single, “Infinity” (co-written and produced by Mariah)." I don't know if the "breathtaking" comment is from Billboard though because the article I found was on Mariah's website and there are no sources mentioned. The article is also included in this site (MCA) and it also cites Mariah's website as the source. The article I found on Billboard does not use that word. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 15:08)

And you don't remember (51,827) by Norman from USA Nervermind. I learned how to read just now. D'oh (exclamation). My apologies. That's what I get for staying up until all hours of the night. "Well, it's 5am and I still can't sleep." (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 14:26)

Mimi L / Billboard (51,826) by Norman from USA Where did you find it? Would you mind sharing the link, please? Thank you. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 14:14)

We belong together (51,825) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Was there ever a "making of the video" or "behind the scenes" of We Belong Together? I remember watching the ones for all the other singles from TEOM apart from WBT back when the album came out. So I recently searched for the WBT one but could not find one. It's one of my favourite Mariah videos and I always wanted to see a "behind the scenes" for it. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 14:12)

Infinity (51,823) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok never mind, I found it. Anyways they really seem to be keeping information about the single very hush hush. They didn't even mention who else co-wrote the song with Mariah. If this turns out to be her 19th #1, I will be really happy for her. The fact that she is so confident about this single and like someone else mentioned, her label must be confident about it to for making it the only new track on the album, all these makes me hopeful. I don't know about the album as a whole, but I have a feeling the single has great potential. MC must know what is at risk here. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 13:55)

Billboard (51,822) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Can someone give me a link where billboard called the new single breath taking? I can't seem to find it. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 13:15)

(51,821) by Ty from USA Take aside the tacky [...] music and Someday is a powerful piece of music. I know Mariah dislikes the song but just wait until she sings it now. Those lyrics are fire and powerful. The song if remixed would be a huge hit today. Also looking forward to the Latin-flavored live version [...]. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 12:31)
