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)

New member promoting #1 To Infinity (51,820) by Lara from Middle East Did you see Nick Cannon 's latest instagram? Nothing else but the new album cover and a hashtag "family first". Analyze that. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 12:14)

MC (51,819) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't consider the 10 years a failure. I may complain about a lot of things, but one thing I have never had complaints about (regarding Mariah) is her ability to deliver musically. Her songs are always great. I don't think Emancipation was her last good album. Emancipation was great, it had set the bar really high but the albums that came after that were definitely not disappointing. I love E=MC2 as well as Memoirs. I never skip a track in these two albums. People may not like these albums and some fans may complain these songs are not good enough, but they are great and I have always enjoyed them. MIAM was a really good album although I do skip some songs but if I had to give an overall verdict, it was a great album. She put in a little something for everyone there. I just feel bad that these albums basically received little to no love because of bad promotions and lack of dedication to put the word out about these from both the label and Mariah's part. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 12:07)

If I could recapture (51,818) by Norman from USA Has no one else seen the two new pics Mariah's tweeted? Particularly the one of herself in a wetsuit of sorts and looking gorgeous? I think trying to update the iconic #1's album cover was a mistake. Not to say she looks bad, because she doesn't, but because the comparisons were inevitable. It's bad enough the media and society love bashing women about their weight, no matter what that may be. Also, the artwork seems rushed. The harsh shading and contouring make her seem even thinner than your average PS job. As for disappointment, that's because of the headlines. The headlines that always read something about how "fans" are complaining or calling her out. We're always fanning the flames of their shite. The single hasn't dropped. She hasn't promoted yet. She hasn't opened in Vegas yet. The album has been released. The woman is anything but stupid. I'm not betting against her. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 11:48)

May / MC1989 (51,817) by Bill from the UK May, the album hasn't launched just yet so there may be more surprises. So far since the announcement we've had the brilliant cover reveal, news of a new single, the opportunity to get a Mariah print with the pre-order and, the best thing for me, the chance to own all her #1's on a vinyl compilation. The original #1's vinyl is very rare and expensive when it shows up for purchase. Who knows what else may come about nearer the release date - maybe the videos, or corresponding DVD of the Vegas show etc. MC1989, I agree about Fantasy. I know Mariah sees the remix as the real version of the song, but I do love the original version just as much, and it would have been nice to see it included. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 11:36)

The diary of Mariah Carey - Make It Happen (51,816) by MC1989 from Spain Please guys take a look at this amazing compilation of Make It Happen. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 11:33)

Skip / Someday (51,815) by Bill from the UK I agree Skip. As much as I love the Unplugged version of Someday, the 7" Jackswing Mix would have been a better incentive. I've always preferred it to the album version, and it was the main radio version in the UK and the version included on all the single releases. I also agree it's probably truer to the original demo of the song rather than the over produced album version. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 11:30)

MC1989 (51,814) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I agree with you about Someday. I do not really like the version used in the video. I wish they had used the album version for it. The video is so cute. I also like the MTV Unplugged version of the performance. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 11:24)

To jaker20 (51,813) by May from Denmark All I can say if "bye bye" and "wish you well" if you don't like Mariah any longer. But saying she is entering the "has been" is horrible. Paul McCartney has never been an amazing singer but he is an amazing composer and musician. Mariah is also an amazing composer. Paul is older than her and he is still putting oil into the machine all the time. He even dared to sing with the garbage of Rihanna (who can't blow a note straight) and the douche (I hope I can say the word douche lol) of Kanye. A lot of young people didn't know who Paul McCartney was (exclamations). So should we guide ourselves for what hormonal crazy teens consume or "not know"? Definitely not. So why is Mariah going to be considered a has-been when definitely Paul is not considered as such? It sounds incredibly unfair. She also gave a lot to music and did changes to it, changes which the likes of Katy Perry still milk out a lot (hip hop in her songs, hello). Without Mariah there wouldn't be all these wanna-be singers that we got today. Her album cover is not just another cover, it is a reminiscent of her #1, an inspiration from it. One has a light cover, the other has a dark cover, one is looking to the left, this new one is all looking to the right and even the title is turned the other way, the covers are like mirrors, which I think it is very cleverly done, don't know if people noticed this small details. Don't like Mariah, fine, but her 10 years were not fails but trials, her last album had gems. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 11:00)

Deedre aka MiTodoChop yesh (51,812) by May from Denmark It's true about the professionalism from her team. I'm also noticing the same details, from her website, her re-tweets, casual pics, presence events (the charity for example). She is moving, which is a very positive thing. I see positive and negative things all the time, I am generally critical but I can't deny also staying positive when I see the wheel running. Thanks for bringing this up as it is a good reminder. Personally, as I'm already focusing less in the idea of the whole album and more in the single, I'm happy she is now going to Vegas and preparing everything. It's not missing long. This is just me, but I would love it if Sony produced a DVD out of this upcoming event. Vegas can put really beautiful shows. It could be wonderful to have another video of great stage performances. It's been a good while since that. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 10:28)

Someday (51,811) by MC1989 from Spain As for many fans, this is one of my favourite songs from Mariah. One of her best and most powerful recordings. I have the 7" vinyl single. I love the guitar solo from Vernon Black. But I have to disagree, I love the Unplugged version because it turns a lot more soul with the black female vocals, the strings an everything. Also, I think it's a good idea to use it instead of the original version which was featured in the original #1's album, in the Greatest Hits album and in The Essential. However, I was never a fan of the Jackswing version used for the video (what a pity that there's not a video for the album version). What I don't like is that they chose the remix version of Fantasy again. I need a live compilation album, they could have released the #1's with more live versions of the songs.

Morning (51,810) by peterpaul from Ireland Another day for yapping and complaining I see. Nno luck of any rejoicing in here. (Tuesday 14 April 2015; 10:22)
