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)

Infinity (52,764) by Otti from Belgium Some fans or lambs (call it what you want) are really hard on Mariah. "Infinity" is listed number 19 on the "number ones" album, not somewhere between "Love takes time" and "I don't wanna cry". What I want to say is that the game has changed, "hate the game not the player". "Infinity" comes after "Touch my body", which was a catchy fun number one. When had Celine or Janet their last number one? The fact that it has more appeal to "non-fans" is a good sign. More than 3 million views on YouTube. That's LA Reid stragery. I remember when "TEOM" got a huge success, LA Reid explained Mariah has a solid fanbase and she makes more new fans from all ages. The most hurting thing I hear on this board is that the song is not worth to be a number one, why this negative prediction from lambs? I hope Mariah never read this board, despite some really good post from Baby, Ethan and Jon. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 13:00)

Marissa / Stacey (52,763) by Licia from USA Both of you have made great points. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 12:49)

YouTube (52,762) by Jon from Netherlands The video has more than 3 million views. TAOLG has yet to reach 2 million. Very curious about where this single is going to peak. I think it will be very sucessful. Once it's in your system is difficult to shake it off. It's also a perfect song to finish a Vegas show. I can see her leaving while singing "ohh ahh". Epic stuff. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 11:45)

Lowered expectations fuel the fandom (52,761) by Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan from USA I can only speak for me, but I didn't really expect much from Infinity. I've had to learn with Mariah that she is, at best, unreliable. Why she is this way is a debate for another post. Infinity is cute, that's it. Will it be her 19th #1? No. Will it even be a top 20 hit? It's very unlikely. It is a cute song and nothing more. TBH I loved the lyric video and found it the most interesting thing she's done visually in a long time. Which means I expect the actual video to be terrible. I expect the Vegas show to be high camp and a hot mess holistically. I will find some fun in whatever she does with "I don't wanna cry" but other than that do your thing Mariah. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 4:47)

Bye bye regulars (52,760) by Kyle from USA Is it just me or are you guys glad the "regulars" are all taking a break? Thank God. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 4:45)

Negativity (52,759) by Connor Bethune from United States I have checked this board for a year now and have only posted a few times. I am honestly dumbfounded at how hateful some of you fans are concerning Infinity. To be honest I hated Your Mine Eternal, yet I still supported it, still requested it on the radio, and still bought it. Fortunately, I love this song, it's catchy, well sung (for the most part), and is classic Mariah. Just because you don't like the song doesn't mean your opinion is absolute. I'm really disappointed at this board. And frankly it is weighing me down. I'll check back in a few weeks. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 4:32)

Infinity (52,758) by ktktkt from Philippines I saw some snippets of the music video and she looks fab. This may be her 19th if everything goes well. I'm happy that even non-lambs seem to like it. She needs support not just from lambs and it being universal (plus a cool video to accompany it) she'll make another history. Yasss. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 4:16)

I don't get it (52,757) by Jon from Netherlands I don't understand why when someone doesn't include quotes when mentioning a song it gets censored but when someone uses violent imagery it doesn't. Clearly the person using this kind of speech doesn't know better so it would be pointless to argue with her. It's up to the webmaster to censor it. Maybe it went unchecked. I hope so. We can all have different opinions but violence is a bit too far. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 4:03)

Infinity / Edward (52,756) by Licia from USA This will be my last post about Infinity. I've been a fan since the beginning. I know that she us capable of songs better than Infinity. It's not the words that I don't like, it's just that the song seems like it's missing a lot and incomplete. I've supported her for 25 years and I will continue to support her as long as she puts out music I enjoy. If not liking one song makes me a bad fan then so be it (I'm still going to post my thoughts either way). I won't be bullied into liking or supporting anything I don't like. I respect anyone who likes the song. That's your choice. I won't bash anyone who likes the song, but some of you have went out of your way to bash people who've expressed that they don't like it. Edward I hate to see you go. I've enjoyed reading your posts. You tell it like it is whether it's good or bad and you do so respectfully. Hope you return sooner rather than later. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 3:59)

Singin' in the shower (52,755) by Ardis Logic from Earth "If there’s any confusion, they’re welcome to come to my house and sing in the shower with me. It’s not a problem." - Mariah Carey Here is a little video I found of MC singing in the shower as a gift to B. Scott on her birthday. Sounds lovely. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 3:44)

Say it aint so? / Marissa (52,754) by Stacey from USA First Stephen, now you Edward? Noooooo. Us level-headed fans have to stick together. Don't stay away to long. Marissa, your post (52,749) is one of the most well written posts of what I've also tried to explain for years. Maybe i'ts an age thing being 37. I just don't get bothered if someone disagrees with me. I don't take it personally if someone loves a song I can't stand. I don't call them out with a post. I don't get bothered when a faceless person says crap to me. It ain't that deep. Anyways, always enjoy your posts. Some will never "get it". (Sunday 3 May 2015; 3:42)

Mayweather and Pacquiao fight (52,753) by 123 from USA I hope Mariah goes to the fight. She said she wanted to attend. It would be nice press and cool to see her ringside. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 3:03)

Infinity and Vegas residency (52,752) by Emmanuel from Canada Overall, I am happy with the song. Is it among her best work? No. Is it the worst song ever? No. There are moments in Infinity that I love such as the "Ouh ahh, ouh ahh"s and the "Infinity, loving me more and more" chant. However, her voice sounds tired and strained in some areas. Also, I feel like the verses are poorly written. In any event, I will support the song because Mariah needs the lambily. I give her A for effort. In terms of the residency, I believe she is going to kill it. She really knows what the people want and I think she is smart to do the setlist in chronological order. Mariah season is coming people. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 2:59)

Question (52,750) by B from USA On Mariah's acclaimed album TEOM she was singing her house in Capri, owning a G4, and that Benz with the doors that lift up from the floor. Mariah Carey has always had fun with her lyrics. It's not that deep. It's a catchy song with a strong chorus and clever verses. Either you love it or you hate but I think our efforts would be put to better use promoting Mariah's single and residency than infighting. Just a suggestion. Mariah's smart, this song has received rave reviews from critics and the lyric video is nearing three million views in less than a week. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 2:41)

Why are people acting shocked by the same old, same old? (52,749) by Marissa from USA I don't understand why people act shocked at how the board divides the minute Mariah releases something new. That's what happens when you're dealing with hundreds/thousands of different people. Some people like it, some don't. Scolding and bullying people out of the fanbase is useless. We need to learn how to coexist, because this board is never going to be the utopia that some of you are hoping for. If your mood or happiness depends on a "negative" lamb fleeing the board then you are giving your power away. The world doesn't change to accomodate what you want. You have to make a change within yourself and consciously choose to be happy regardless of what someone else is posting. Also, just because you don't like a damn song doesn't mean that you don't support Mariah and you need to hightail it out of the fanbase. It really ain't that deep. If people can get over "Boy, I Need You" than this song will eventually be a distant memory to those who don't like it as well. Next. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 0:56)

Message to all (52,748) by Travon..SweetSweetFantasy from USA I love people and have had a difficult life than most people in their entire lifetime. I appreciate my knowledge and understand the meaning of respect and love by faith. This board is completely off my text radar for now. Like I said yesterday, the balance is completely off. Its always one sided on both sides and it's just a waste of energy posting on here. I just feel tired of staying the positive one and also understanding the truth, while everyone else acts like children. I am an adult who is a lot younger than most of you here. I am 23 years old. I might not have known or understood Mariah Carey until mid 2000 unlike most of you 90s folks, but I am a true lamb. I will accept change needed for her and I will agree to disagree. However, I will not subject my character nor positive attitude to the trolls on this messageboard anymore. Abraham you know I agree with you on everything and will not judge what you say or argue like you and Bill are currently doing. The same goes for you as well Bill. You make excellent points as well. You both should realize your views are different and move on as the lambs I know you both are. Everyone else I hope you all enjoyed my posts and I really enjoy most of you. Try not to argue with each other as much and maybe I might come back. Shelly stay positive sweety and I love all people regardless of what happens. It's a trait I feel you and I, Shelly, have as well. I will check back every 2 to 3 weeks but now I must leave. (Sunday 3 May 2015; 0:14)

"When I say that I'm okay, well, they look at me kinda strange" (52,747) by Dove from USA Most people are afraid to show their uniqueness. They try to be popular or likable, to fit in with everyone else. It's a fact that it is impossible to have everyone like you, there are always people who will find a flaw in you or something to comment about. It's better to embrace yourself than pretend to be someone you aren't to please others. MC, just do you. On a side-note: I also need to take a break. (Saturday 2 May 2015; 23:14)

To Vegas and Infinity (52,746) by May from Denmark I love you Edward, you're such a grounded person. I will be taking a break from the board, because while it is my guilty pleasure to read it, the vibe and tone hasn't been great lately. I have a happy life and I much rather enjoy my art, my garden, my daughter and husband in this vacations of hims than coming here to read unpleasent posts. My husband yesterday gave me the surprise that we will be going to Las Vegas, after we visit part of his family in the US, which was a trip planned last year. I won't let anything spoil this amazing feeling. I will probably be checking the board in a week or so to see how people are enjoying in the early stages of MC's show. While I was going to take the break before the trip (which is scheduled slightly end of this month) I will be taking an early one. I'm hoping for Mariah to do nice, just like in her last Vegas show. But I feel this one will be a special one. (Saturday 2 May 2015; 22:38)

Abraham (52,745) by Bill from the UK Again, that's your opinion. What can't you comprehend about somebody having an opposing view to you? Newsflash, you're not always right. I think Infinity is better than several of her songs, and one of the freshest compositions she's put out in a while. It's my opinion, and liking a song is subjective. You can't claim it to be a bad song as a "fact" just because you don't happen to like it. I couldn't stand Uptown Funk, yet I appreciate thousands and thousands of people loved it. I'd never claim any song is bad or awful as a fact. Except Boy (I Need You) of course. (Saturday 2 May 2015; 21:39)

No thanks (52,744) by Abraham from USA I'm more of a potato chip, Doritos type of guy. Sorry. (Saturday 2 May 2015; 21:37)

Lovers & Haters (52,743) by Ardis Logic from Earth Remember this one? (Saturday 2 May 2015; 21:35)

Time for break (52,742) by Edward from USA I've been posting here for many years now, but now I'm also taking a break. For those going to Vegas, I hope you all have a great time. For those who aren't afraid to state your opinion (positive or not so positive), don't let anybody bully you anonymously behind a computer screen. It is very easy being "Super Heroes" wannabe's when nobody sees you and when the "Save the World" superpowers are just schizophrenic voices inside their heads. Have a great summer. (Saturday 2 May 2015; 21:33)

The hype (52,741) by Edward from USA One of the reasons I think some fans are disappointed about "Infinity" is because it didn't live up to the much hyped up publicity behind it. Since it was going to be only one new song, many fans thought it would be pure brilliance, not just an OK track. Mariah hyped up "Infinity" as she did "Obsessed" back then, both tracks are dissing tracks, but "Obsessed" had a better beat/hook and structure. The difference is that had "Obsessed" tanked, we still had a whole album to look forward to. It isn't the case with "Infinity". Now we have to wait for another two years before Mariah comes out with a decent album. Taking a risk with a track like "Infinity" without a great video to compensate wasn't a good idea. Obviously Mariah hasn't shed the pounds for a Honey-like type of video, so let's not expect that magically she's going to come with a Hearbreaker/Honey type of production, but rather something rushed like "H.A.T.E.U.", "Bye Bye" or "You're Mine (Eternal)". I'm just disappointed that such a potential title went to waste like that. I hope the laryngitis, lack of sleep, earpiece, divorce won't turn out to be an excuse once again should her Vegas debut don't go right. (Saturday 2 May 2015; 21:19)
