For the nostalgia (51,530) by Tiina from Finland I've been loving all of these nostalgic posts. I wish I could have been there with you but I was only born in 1990 and unfortunately Mariah has never been that big in Finland. I remember a lot of Michael and Janet, Madonna and Metallica but no Mariah. I only recall hearing WYB in radio once as a kid and was very taken by it but had no idea who the two beautiful voices were. Years later I saw the video for WBT on TV and liked it but couldn't have guessed I'd turn into a hardcore fan one day. By this time I was aware that Mariah was part of the so called vocal trinity. When YouTube came around I began binge watching her live performances daily. Singing has been my passion since I was a preteen and I'm quite the vocal technique nerd, so I grew very interested in Mariah's voice. I'd analyze it with my vocal teacher at the time and bought a beautiful Mariah song book and sang Hero during class. To be honest, at first I was a little embarrassed to like her music. I had previously only listened to classic rock and my favourite band was Queen (actually now it makes sense to me because Mariah is just as camp as, say, Freddie Mercury). The image I had of her was that of a ditzy diva however she was undeniable. Then I learned that she also wrote her songs, which was really impressive. Finally when TMB came out and I saw the video I realized that she was in on the joke and that she was in fact quite the jokester, willing to laugh at her diva image. Been a lamb ever since.

Infinity (51,529) by Stacey from USA I like the title. I always like the MC that emerges from tough times. She seems to be getting it together with LA Reid at the helm once again. April 27th is only a few weeks away. I can't wait to hear the new single. Now with a new single coming, let's get the promotion on point and get some TV appearances going.

Re: Warrior Butterfly / Mimi (51,528) by nikki from usa Magazines do this frequently and always have. "Mariah" has nothing to do with this. She didn't do an interview with these people. The article and magazine chronicled her life and added quotes she's said recently and over the years. There is no new information in this magazine. They simply starred her due to her residency starting next month. The information is old and so is the picture. There wasn't an interview so there's not going to be a photoshoot. This is a common practice that's been done on Mariah hundreds of times over the years. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 22:19)

See You Again might save OSD (51,527) by ktktkt from Philippines The song is so awesome, it has the same vibe as OSD so all lambs should unit and push this song and dethrone the Funk song off the #1 next week. OSD is too good be to dethroned. I hope only a MC record could dethrone OSD this year. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 21:49)

Photoshoots (51,526) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya well it's not only the cover but even the picture inside of the white dress that is from a shoot from Emancipation era. This bugs me. I don't get why Mariah is digging up old pictures for recent interviews. She did the same in last year's magazine spreads. All of the pictures were from older shoots. She looks fabulous, why not just go for new shoots? When I buy a magazine, I like a new shoot accompanied with it. The pictures are almost as important as the interview for me. As much as I love the black and white shot from the E=MC2 era that she is using for her #1's promo, I seriously hope the actual album cover will be different and from a recent shoot.

Uptown Funk (51,525) by R&B Junkie from Poland Records are to be broken. If the OSD record ever should be broken, there is no better song than UF. It's vibe and classic sound reminds me of thousands of good quality songs you can find everywhere but not in the mainstream. Also, the fact that it's been almost 20 years gives me chills that OSD really was worth it. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 20:46)

The Vegas Player cover (51,524) by Warrior Butterfly from USA It's sad I figured this out, I saw the cover and immediately though that looks really familiar. So I went to another one of my favorite places mariahcareynetwork.com and dug around the gallery a bit. The cover shot is from the The Emancipation of Mimi era 2005's Parade Magazine photo shoot. I knew it. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 19:50)

Fresh era (51,523) by Dove from USA I'm excited about all these new changes. It feels good, like fresh new things are coming. The new single comes out right before my birthday, and the Vegas show is soon after, so this is going to be a memorable birthday for me. They look so happy and excited in the picture with the Sony logo. I'm so excited. Go MC. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 18:23)

Infinity (51,522) by Mara from United States If indeed Infinity is the name of the new single, I love how Mariah gives us little hints. Could just be a coincidence, but in those photos of MC, the twins and Nick on Easter, Roc is wearing some part of Buzz Lightyear's gear. Buzz Lightyear is a character from Disney's Toy Story who always says "to infinity and beyond". Again, it could mean just that Roc loves him, which I'm sure he does. But it's just a cute observation. Infinity does have a nice ring to it and certainly lives up to what Mariah stands for in the music industry. Her music is timeless and will live on. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 17:39)

Dan (51,521) by Bill from the UK I agree. I'm hoping for a disc of the 18 #1s and another disc with new songs. Not an album's worth, but maybe 5 or so plus the demo tape from the debut would be enough for me. I also really hope the album includes AIWFCIY so it is the ultimate hits compilation. It's arguably her most well known song across the globe and is clearly her most popular. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 17:34)

New single (51,520) by Abraham from USA I'm so excited for new music. "Infinity" sounds interesting and promising. I hope it's a song everyone will like. Ironically April 27th is my birthday. And regardless if I like the new song or not I'm still going to support Mariah and purchase the new number ones album. I hope the video will be good and up to part with the song. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 17:16)

#1's album (51,519) by SM from Citizen of the World I just hope this album will be targeted to sell more in a Target, Walmart, Starbucks so in some retail place because if the new album has 18 #1's and just 1 new song it will be very tough selling the entire album online because "most" people who love M have these songs already so they will not purchase the whole album and only the one new song online. So basically I think it should have special pricing for the album in order to help the sales online and in the store but I hope the lead single is a pow wow in your face jam lol. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 16:17)

Infinity (51,518) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia I really hope Infinity would be an uptempo song in the same group as Dreamlover, Fantasy, Honey and Heartbreaker. The song needs a big budget video, maybe in Las Vegas. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 16:16)

Cindi, Infinity (51,517) by QueenLambassador from Portugal I don't think it's a drama just because Cindy is gone. Never liked her and she didn't dump Mariah Carey. The contract just ended and it wasn't renewed, it's business. Infinity the new single? Maybe but if it's coming out in April we won't need to wait much longer. Regarding the Uptown Funk, I never liked the song. But I love Bruno a lot. If it breaks the record whatever. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 16:09)

Cleaning house (51,516) by Terna from Nigeria Did someone say new single? I'm so exited. Mariah is cleaning house. I feel like she indeed has been reading our conversations here and making mental notes, remember when we hinted bout her team being too relaxed and not doing their jobs? Cindi would be at the top of that list and I'm glad she's been replaced. Lol. Mariah is giving this another go, a true fighter. She's going to come back on top where she belongs. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 15:58)

Infinity (51,515) by B from USA Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't We Belong Together described as a hybrid of One Sweet Day and Breakdown and the new single is being described as a hybrid of Migrate and Faded. If this is true I think it's an uptempo love song with a huge chorus and an earworm hook. Looks like Mariah is ready to silence her critics and get her throne back. Cindi obviously leaked that story to try to spin it in her favor. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 15:16)

Happy "New" Year (51,514) by Ardis Logic from Earth Ha ha yeah, a little late but that's what it seems like. "New life, new relationships, new label, new management, new publicist, new residency, new, well, everything." I have a good feeling about all these changes. It's great to make changes. Good things can come from all this. New folks, new ideas, new #1's, who knows? The future is looking good for the golden goddess, I love it. *Cheers* (Thursday 9 April 2015; 15:06)

#1s (51,513) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So according to the press release, Mariah will be singing her 18 #1's "like she's never sung before". I wonder what that means? Is she changing up the keys? Will she be singing the 2015 remixed versions? Will there be guest performers? They are really keeping this era under wraps, which is frustrating but I won't complain. It's good that they are building up mystery around this project, dropping just enough hints to get the public intrigued. I hope everything plays out according to plan. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 14:36)

Torture (51,512) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ugh, I don't think I can survive till April 27th to hear the single. This is torture. All this while I was whining about when we'll get the new single, but now that we have the date, I just can't wait. I need to hear it, I need to see the video. MC you are killing me here woman. I am getting a feeling that this song will be awesome (although Mariah has rarely, if ever disappointed me with her music) and that this might really be the comeback MC needs. All the recent changes being made in her camp is making me feel positive. Now I just hope they get the publicity right and most importantly, I hope MC nails the vocals at Vegas right. That's all she needs to get her throne back. She doesn't need to get on stage and be half naked like all the others. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 14:30)

Excited (51,511) by Luke from United Kingdom This definitely has a different feeling than last year when she was releasing MIAM. Although I was excited the whole process felt tense, this is completely the opposite. Everything seems to be running smoothly, she's hiring a new team (out with the old, in with the new) and she seems detirmined. I do think Island Def kinda lost hope with her. Luckily she didn't lose hope in herself. I think a cameo of Wentworth would be good but not the whole video, I think that might look like they're recycling old ideas. Regardless, I'm sure this year is going to be better the last year. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 12:50)

Infinity: WBT part 2 and the Chamber Group is now on team Mariah (51,510) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End It's official, Mariah just tweeted: "Work hard, play hard. We belong together. Infinity. LA Reid." Yay. Infinity is the new single slated for an April 27th release and it's an uptempo bop. Obviously it's a love song. Throw in JD and Brett and it's the same recipe that made WBT song of the decade. Are you guys so excited? I'm excited. I wonder if it's literally the musical sequel? Wouldn't it be awesome if Wentworth Miller was playing her love interest in the video again? Also, Welcome aboard Chris Chambers, your resume in music speaks to me. Now, hustle. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 10:17)

OK now I'm convinced (51,509) by nikki from usa This is going to be a rant, so sensitive souls might want to skip. J.Lo sang live on AI without a hiccup. A fan uploaded her first and second take, proving that singers really do sing multiple times before a performance is shown. Only AI didn't screw it up this time. Sure, 90% was chorus drowning her voice out in playback, but she got great reviews. She did a good job with the imagery. I'll give props there. But, guess what? There's no "live feed" on YouTube or anywhere. Due to what happened with MC in '12 right down to the media saying AI was going to kick MC off mid season and replace her with J.Lo, and trying to pin the poor ratings on her, I think it was staged. She was set up. In Mottola's book he was asked about MC yet turned it into praise for J.Lo. In 2013, Jen brought up how MC was mean to her in 2001. Then, made that sour grapes remark about the residency this year. I do think Mottola pulled some behind the scenes garbage due to the deja vu the first time this happened with Glitter. But, again deja vu, the only reason this was able to be pulled off was because MC didn't have a proper team in place to avoid it. I'm glad Mariah's getting rid of the old and ushering in the new. Now, lets deja vu TEOM. I may be the only one, but I would love for MC to sing If We and Lead The Way live. There's a lot of good music that should be heard. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 9:57)

The Chamber Group (51,508) by nikki from usa You know, I thought Cindi was dead. She hasn't made any publicity, spun stories, cleared the air, or even made simple statements on Mariah's behalf in 3 years. Thank goodness she was able to contact Page Six, a gossip column, to let everyone know she dropped Mariah. Interestingly enough, Mariah already has new representation. This is a first. In the past when a manager went bye bye Mariah was left to fend for herself for awhile until she had a replacement. Someone other than Cindi has been making statements for MC over the past couple of months and recently started making headlines on local media. Officially, Mariah is now represented by The Chambers Group. They are all over social media and describe themselves as: ideas and insight across media, film, music and brands. A boutique PR/branding and digital agency. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 9:25)

New single, new management? (51,507) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So Infinity is the new single? I think I read somewhere that it's Faded meets Migrate. Not sure if that's authentic news. But anyways, we have a date. April 27th. Oh gosh, I can't wait. But I read she's heading over to Vegas next week for rehearsals so I don't know when she'll promote it. As for Cindi Berger's departure, I wouldn't be too worried about it. In fact I am glad that things are being shaken up a bit in the Carey camp because she had the same people around her for a very long time and it's apparent that none of them knew how to handle Mariah anymore. I think L A Reid is pushing Mariah to start over with a new team and it's a good thing. She's already hired a new management team. Anyways, I can't wait for the new single. (Thursday 9 April 2015; 8:52)

Infinity (51,506) by Emma from United States A bit over a week ago in the Mariah base on UKMix someone claimed the title of the single that was going to be released to promote the #1s re-release was titled "Infinity", they also said they were a music industry executive and that was how they knew. Fast forward and today Mariah included "Infinity" in one of her tweets although it had nothing to do with the rest of the tweet. It's no confirmation or anything but maybe that really is the title of the song? (Thursday 9 April 2015; 8:20)
