Shelly (52,158) by Abraham from USA Sorry, I skipped your message. I'm so pumped. I can't wait. I agree with the person who said that Mariah might have flimed it before or after her "Ellen" apperance. I think so too. I'm also glad on how much love her debut album is getting. I think Mariah has the best debut album out of any female artist. "There's got to be a way" is Mariah at her best. Amazing song. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 21:42)

Tevin / Kyle (52,157) by Abraham from USA No I don't think so. I doubt Mariah would include those tacky girls in one of her videos. Matter of fact I don't even think she'd talk to them. Much less include them in a video that's supposedly going to "blow our minds". Honestly who even listens to them? Bunch of autotune flops. Even Ariana slays all of them lol. Kyle your post got me more excited. I can't wait. I'm ready for Mimi to get her next hit. If not with "Infinity" then with a song from the next album. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 21:27)

Jake / You Need Me (52,156) by Bill from the UK I love You Need Me. I know for some it's the weakest track but I love it. I love how passionate her vocals are and her ad libs at the end are brilliant. I love how she sings "before you act so hastily" differently every time she approaches the line. I overused the word "love" in this post. But that's because I love You Need Me, and I love Mariah. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 21:16)

"Love Story" awkwardness (52,155) by Alejandro Cole from Colombia Watching the video for "Love Story" and its lyrics is quite awkward for me especially after the "and this aint gone end up like that Casablanca’s movie" phrase. And now, the fact that "Infinity" will be the total opposite makes me realize how much of a human Mariah is, sometimes we forget about it and ask for her nothing but perfection when in fact she is just like you and me. She was wrong and she is ready to admit it with this new song in front of the whole world. I applaude her for that. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 20:25)

Sorry guys (52,154) by pharaoh_shawn from New Zealand In my last message (52,134) I did all capitals so half of my subject got the chop, the subject was meant to read, "I love See You Again". (Thursday 23 April 2015; 19:40)

See ya later cuz (52,153) by Bill from the UK One of her best lyrics ever. Love me some Prisoner. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 19:11)

Album cover (52,152) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I wish MC would make a cover like this. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 18:52)

Debut album (52,151) by Jake from New Zealand I actually think it's really underrated and it's my favorite Mariah album. Every single song is great and none of the songs are fillers, maybe except for "You Need Me". (Thursday 23 April 2015; 18:50)

The anticipation of MiMi (52,150) by Kyle from USA I'm excited about the "Infinity" single and video premiere Monday. Currently, with Taylor Swift done dropping singles fo her album and Rhianna was a massive flop, there is nothing good on radio right now. Basically, Mariah could slay for a couple weeks before the next big hit is dropped by someone else. Epic and herself have something massive up their sleeve and this is going to be big. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 17:29)

All alone in love (52,149) by Ty from USA I love all the love this song is getting on here. [...] and [...] are so under appreciated. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 17:11)

Debut album fav list (52,148) by May from Denmark While I love all the songs in her debut album, the favorite ones I had in those days were: Prisoner, "Sent from up above", IDWC, Someday and "All in your mind" and "Alone in love". Amazingly VOL and LTT were the ones I heard the least in my repeat-play list. Then I learnt to love passionately LTT. SFUA to me was a gorgeous song at the time because she was the only one who used to sing with that breathy/whispery voice that sounded like an angel, hitting those low notes and suddenly then at mid song giving it all she got. It was dreamy to hear someone do so many gymnastics with the voice. Whitney was great but I never felt deeply in love with her voice, just her singing style. There were powerful beautiful voices with a lot of character when MC hit the stage like Taylor Dayne and Tina Turner but Mariah was so unique, she was at another level. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 16:55)

Up Out My Face Nick (52,147) by Mushaakiss from UAE I was listening to this song as I was driving home and the lyrics just got me thinking how odd that this song was years ago and yet with the news of Nick allegedly trying to get back with Mariah and that alleged statement made that Mariah likes him but she will never ever wanna get back with him it seems as if UOMF is on point with this rumor lol. It's also ironic that Nick directed that video. When she breaks, she breaks. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 16:33)

Favourite track from the debut album (52,146) by Anthony Basco from Cardiff, Wales This album is a masterpiece of a debut, and as such I love all the songs on the album. However, I do of course have personal favourites. Aside from the majestic Vision Of Love (which I consider the greatest debut single of all time) and the heartbreaking Love Takes Time, I have always had a real soft spot for Sent From Up Above. It moves me every time and makes me feel good when I feel down. It's a beautiful song and a real hidden gem in the Mariah catalogue. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 16:16)

Fav track from debut album (52,145) by R&B Junkie from Poland I always considered "All in Your Mind" and "Vanishing" to be the best tracks of this 1990 effort. This year "I Don't Wanna Cry" joined it due to the fact it's the best song that I can listen to when I am sad and have that feeling that no one's help is needed (it's weird but it happens ). I put much less love into "Vision of Love" and "Someday" (however MTV Unplugged version is one of my favorite MC's tracks ever). Honestly, it's my least favourite album. The next one sits still at my personal top 5 though. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 15:53)

Excited (52,144) by B from USA I'm excited that Mariah is not only performing her 18 #1's but fan favorites as well. I hope she sings Breakdown, The Roof, Butterfly, Looking In, and Outside. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 15:39)

Re: RJJ12 / enwar00 (52,143) by Billy from Greece Thank you both for your responses. RJJ12, I love the Stevie J. remix of ISB too as you noticed and I second what you said about the late 1990s being her peak period in terms of reinventing a song. Enwar00, it is so interesting to read about you "watching your memory" years later. Endless, nostalgic melancholy. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 15:16)

I love every track on her debut (52,142) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada Yes, the album is dated in that in some ways you can tell it was made in 1990, but seriously when you really think about it, don't tracks like "Prisoner" blow your mind? In my opinion it's so ahead of its time. I will join Bill and freak out if she does that live. Lol I prefer the jackswing remix to Someday, but I like the album version too. Sometimes I can't help wishing she would do "Love Takes Time" and "Can't Let Go" more often. I love "Can't Let Go" (I have noticed the whisper vocal too, Bill). Vanishing will always be one of my favorite songs to sing, and "All Alone In Love" and "There's Got To Be A Way" are just do representative of that era in time. Sigh just so good. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 15:01)

Apart from #1's, will Sony promote/celebrate her 25 years in music? (52,141) by MC1989 from Spain I hope Sony will do something related to the first album's 25 anniversary. Daydream turns 20 this year, they have tons of audiovisual material to re-release special editions from this albums (with pictures, comments, rarities and remixes not included in the origonal ones) and release concerts, live performances, etc from these albums/eras. Morover, it's the appropiate time to release a CD+DVD collection with her greatest live performances from TV shows, awards, etc. like they did with Whitney last year. By the way I agree with all of you, Sent From Up Above and Alone In Love are masterpieces. Mariah could do a great rendition of these and many other songs that would fit her current voice. It's a pity that throughout her career she never sang live gems from her albums, like There's Got To Be A Way, To Be Around You, The Wind, I've Been Thinking About You or Long Ago. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 14:57)

The debut (52,140) by Bill from the UK Glad to see the album get a lot of love in its 25th year. The debut is one of my most favourite Mariah albums ever. It was so classy and every song is a complete winner. There is not a single track I skip. I agree about everybody's comments on Alone In Love, it is a beautiful track and I love its arrangement as well. Prisoner is fantastic and I would "give my all" to hear her do the song and the rap live. It's just a beautiful album and I play it probably ten times a week. Always on the record player and my iPod to and from work. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 14:56)

Alone In Love (52,139) by Tiina from Finland I'm glad to see this song being praised because it's one of those hidden gems nobody seems to talk about. I'm amazed that she was still in high school when she wrote this song because it's very tasteful and sophisticated. I love the vocals to death on that record. The song has also stood the test of time beautifully. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 14:32)

Infinity video (52,138) by Tevin from USA Does anyone think Fifth Harmony might make a cameo appearance in Mariah's new video? That would be cool. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 13:53)

Favorite songs (52,137) by B from USA My favorite songs from the debut album are All In Your Mind, You Need Me, and Prisoner. I also love all four of the #1 singles. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 13:28)

My fav track of her first album (52,136) by Gilles from Malta It is funny because at her beginning I didn't really like "Vision of love" but it was "There's got to be away" that kept my attention. I used to listen at this time to Michael Jackson a lot and I love singers that sing in the interest of the planet and human kind like "Heal the world", "Earth song", "What about us". So "There's got to be a way" than "Sent up above" than "Vanishing", "Love takes time" was my "Highlight" on this album. It is very rare that I like MC's #1 at the first listening except for "Hero", "We belong together", "One sweet Day". We are all different lol. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 11:39)

Alone In Love (52,135) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines For some reason I feel like its the most elegant song off the debut album. I often listen to it back-to-back with Sent From Up Above. So classy. Those two are my favorite non-singles from it. Alone In Love had serious hit potential. Had it been released, it could have topped the charts, or at least peak within the top 3. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 8:04)

I love (52,134) by pharaoh_shawn from New Zealand If it wasn't for this great song, Uptown Funk would be the longest running number one single on the Billboard hot 100 along side One Sweet Day. I can't wait to see if UTF holds at number two next week. (Thursday 23 April 2015; 7:52)
