The wait is over!
Just three weeks before Mariah Carey unveils her newest greatest hits package ‘#1 To Infinity’ (May 18), she shows off its sole new cut – ‘Infinity.’
If you’re as excited as we are, tuck in below to hear the latest offering from the pop icon…
An infinite number of “no” from us.
An almost parodic, unorganized musical misstep that sounded more like someone trying to give their best MC impression, the song foully reeks of ‘Chanteuse’-leftover. A disheartening truth when you listen to the greatest hits album as a whole and get your life to the assembly of some of the best pop/R&B songs over the past 20 years…and then you get to this.
It just doesn’t fit a bill that features hits like ‘My All,’ ‘Vision of Love,’ or even ‘We Belong Together’ and ‘Touch My Body.’ Another miss for Mimi.

YESSSSS MARIAH! Slay me. I love this song so much.
Oh ok… Anyway, tgj will read a bish for filth right. I swany.
Urghhh…..sit down. Nobody is checking.
Vegas is the only good option for her at this point. She has lost it. Sorry, Mimi. You are stuck.
No you don’t…don’t front this is garbage.
This will flop so hard. 🙁
CLOSE THE DOOR, MAMA!
THIS SONG IS A MESS AND THE PRODUCTION IS KIND OF CHEAP.
2 OUT OF 5*
She lost it a long, long, long time ago when she began to refer to herself as a diva. She looked pretty with her natural dark hair, had a voice, but it is all about her now and has been for a long time. I personally can’t stand her due to her “all about me” diva attitude. Perhaps she and Ciara need to ride slowly, but surely, into the sunset and hand up the saddle.
Ain’t none of business, it’s tea though.
This song is joke…like Riri’s B*tch…(whatever Money She Desperate To Earns ) …so annoying.
Too self absorbed, snooty acting and immature. Still singing music for teenagers instead of for her own age demographic. And the album cover is clearly extremely photo shopped and airbrushed. She has enough money between her and her husband. She needs to stay home and take care of those funny looking kids. Her 1st album ( when she was hungry and trying harder ) was her best and I still play it. Now she’s lazy and boring. Perhaps she should try gospel next.
Ciara’s lessor is still trying while nobody is checking.
Goodluck in Vegas. You are done and forgotten, MooMoo.
The ONLY lessor Ciara has in the ENTIRE music industry is herself, and you must deal. Now, back to the Ms. Billboard Hot 100 Carey.
Mess
This song is Triumphant Mess pt 2 !!!!!!
Chanteuse
TGJ is a damn liar. This song is hot. I agree with you, Kemar
No, No & NO.
Mariah You Sound A Damn Fool.
Damn Mariah Had I Known This Would Be What You Were Releasing In 2015 I Wouldve Spent A Little More Time Singing Your Classics (To Myself, In The Mirror) When I Was A Child.
;-( It’s always a rollercoaster ride with mariah carey. i was on the edge of my sit excited for the first 15 seconds but as soon as she started singing it just went downhill.the flow,the lyrics all just dimsal. Really Mariah “Y U MAD” couldn’t you come up with better lyrics, concept.I mean the instrumental has so much potential.
For me the song started and ended at 27 seconds. i will not be checking for her again
FLOPinity…
I stop listening after first chorus.
She needs to stop trying to be a s** kitten at her age. It’s like her music was more mature at the beginning of her career, and has been regressing into pandering to the kids for the last 15 years. C’mon, Mariah, grow up again!
Both Madonna and Barbra Streisand have sold more than her, but they started way before soundscan (1990), but they have received certifications so its not very hard to figured out who has sold the most. This whole thing Mariah does to self-proclaim as the highest selling female of all time is a lie that she perpetuates by forcing all shows to announce her like this, otherwise she won’t show up…the last time she was announced as the highest selling SOLO artist! LOL so apparently she has sold more than Elvis, LIES!
thanks for sharing… 😀
:snickers:
Who was actually waiting on this sh!t? Another mediocre song from this dated hasbeen. Add it to the stockpile and start a bonfire.
Clearly you cyber sissy considering you came here and listened to the song before some of the Lambs…
I know right?! Even I haven’t yet downloaded it yet..
Her Generation has moved on most becoming Grand Ma’s Baby Ma-moms when she switched to a more Hip Hop Style. A big factor also is technology and how divided we get our music sources from today. She also does not have her first husband “Tommy” Mottola to pull the strings.
Meh. It’s ok, but the lyrics are too juvenile.
It is amazing how much photo shopping they do with her photos. They make her look taller than she actually is and take off about 30-40 pounds. I think she should start dressing like an adult woman in her 40’s instead of like a 19 year old girl.
That’s my Queen! #MimiForever
delusional…
Doesn’t help that she is annoying. 🙁
damn this go hard
u mean…on Bubbling Under chart on Billboard like JLo???
Ciara;s lesson is back, y’all. Lets the meltdown begins……
Not only is this song BOOTY, it’s obviously gonna flop! ROFLMAO. Poor MC. She just doesn’t know when to let it go.
Lol! ‘Everything you own, boy you still owe’!
I like it. Just doesn’t sound like a single to me.
Maybe after a few listens.
It’s still better than most of the trash released this year…
Good job Empress M!
Slay b**** slay
WERK MIMI
My girl said, Everything you own, you still owe. No wonder Nick trying to get 30 mil out the divorce.
That caught me too! She is reading Nicki his rights! LMAO!!
I love that she’s showcasing she is here to stay no matter what any one says. 8/10
Love it. It looks like she was shading the hell out of Nick her. Lol go mimi
SHE DID THAT
Legendary
The song really sucks.
your fave will be 30 this year and she still make abc 123 nursery rhymes and not to mention their basic and generic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-TTNdyIMAE
and 711 from Beyonce? Sounds like a midlife crises to me. She kicking 40 in the ass and she needs to face it. “Wave hands from to side to side” Lmao. Smh pathetic.
I am not a Mariah hater by any means. I genuinely want her to come back with a song/album/performances that compliment her legacy. Why on earth would she think this was a good song? The lyrics are fine, fairly juvenile… but is this a CLASSIC song? She is putting a #1’s album out and this is the best song they could come up with? This song has no chance of being a radio hit, I would like someone to explain to me how it possibly could be? Her voice sounded good on some parts, but not great on others. The quality of this song is terrible. If Mariah acts so “Diva” then come out swinging like one and don’t settle for this garbage that Jermaine or whoever is feeding her. This song is not current and is just not a good song.
I love the sound she used. It reminds me of the old mimi. I love and respect her a lot.
POP CULTURE ICON!
That was terrible.
This is so hilariously terrible. She’s singing about food now??
i love how this site try’s to play like it supports mariah before the shade
#queenmc #1toinfinity
I’m in love with chorus! Mariah is music. <3
She better hope those pitiful Vegas casino dates break even, because this song is not a hit…
Yes, yes, and yes!! Only part I don’t like is the “Infinity” part of the chorus; it sounds off.
This is just bad. She’s completely lost it. I remember when “Loverboy” was her humiliation. This song wishes it was that.
Lmao this song is so bad it’s funny
YAS MIMI YASSSSSS
200 million ALBUMS sold. Enough said.
Lies. 170-175 million albums, half of them overcertified.
i like it ,it’s a grower
I love Mariah, I don’t like this song. Good luck
Wack.
Tommy laughs…Celine laughs…Nick laughs…Nicki laughs…Eminem laughs…Katy laughs…Madonna laughs….JLo laughs…Christina laughs…Ariana laughs…the spirit of pre-“When You Believe” Whitney laughs. They all laugh at this.
She has more money than, and a more successful career than all of them though. Lol
Definitely not more than Madonna…
With the big flop Madonna just had and she’s sucking the life outta people’s mouths…that old lady has NO ROOM AT ALL to laugh
Tommy is still on love with Mariah and the two have a mutual respect for each other. Céline is her BFF. Nick is posting and supporting the song. Nicki can’t laugh at anyone, but herself. How is it possible for a pack of M&M candy to laugh? Katy laughing at Mimi, yet she dedicates songs to her? Madonna isn’t laughing at anyone. She is probably congratulating Mimi like she has since 08. JLO listens and admires Mariah. She “wants to be Mariah’s friend.” Ariana would never be mean to her idol. Xtina career has been over since Back to Being A Basic, so please. _/ Why would pre spirit Whitney laugh when she has never had a problem with Mariah? I can definitely tell that you’re one of those extremely old bitter queens who has been stalking MC since made her debut when you were in your 30’s. Get over it.
I going through the shame s*** on one of my faves pages. You right, pure queens Lmao.
I love Mariah but this isn’t for me. I wish her all the best tho… she is a legend.
I LOVE YOU MARIAH WITH MY ALL BUT THIS SONG IS JUST NOT GOOD I WAS EXPECTING WE BELONG TOGETHER PART 2 OR DONT FORGET ABOUT US PART 2 #BEAUTIFUL AND YOU’RE MINE (ETERNAL) WERE BETTER THAN THIS THEY SHOULDVE BEEN YOUR 19TH AND 20TH NUMBER ONES I WILL LISTEN TO IT A COUPLE MORE TIMES MAYBE IT WILL GROW ON ME IM STILL GETTING THE ALBUM THO ALL YOUR CLASSIC #1S TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE????? HELL YEA!
POOR GIRL… this is not worthy of this collection of #1s.. and that last note….NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This song is terrific. It’s a great original mix in the vein of “Touch my Body” and “We Belong Together.” The violins, the horns, the coo’s, the ooo’s, the aah’s, the cheeky lyrics, the heartfelt words – if you don’t like it, you don’t get it. Fall in love, break up and then revisit this song.
The lyrics are pure READ. READ EM HUN! #outthedoor
She’s so corny ewww
Not in love but a decent track. If this is the sole song and sole single from this, it could have, and should have, been much stronger!
That was all kinds of awful. I’m sorry, but this woman needs to quit. This song just about exhausts what was left of the borrowed time she was on.
Chanteuse
Now I’m the first one to shade Mariah but I don’t see anything wrong with this song. Besides doesn’t she have like 13 albums? You can’t get every song right…
No sorry. I was expecting her to SANG! It’s just meh.
I like it it’s cute!!!!
I’m not a hater so it will say that it actually was a good song. The production overrides her voice and that’s my only problem. I hope that she sees success with this song
Those metaphors in the beginning are so cheap. “…Fritos”?? Really?
I like it. That’s the only thing I can say. 7 out of 10.
I consider myself a devoted long term “Lamb” (Since Music Box FYI. And own everything Mariah, why I even went to Best Buy and bought Glitter when I was in the 8th grade and yes I still own it. Now that’s loyalty lol.) So I took a chance and blindly bought this song off iTunes without previewing, without reading the lyrics, nor even reading the reviews; nothing, just bought it because I love Mariah.
However, I must regret to inform you, the reader, that I do not like the song. In my opinion a song should not take multiple plays to determine whether or not if you will actually like the song. Generally you know right away. While the production isn’t bad (vaguely reminds me of the track “I Feel It”), the lyrics and her vocals are less than stellar. I understand Mariah is not vocally youthful anymore and that the voice does deteriorate with age, but her vocals on the …Elusive Chanteuse was far more superior then this.
Idk I’m just lost when it comes to Mariah, I miss the artistry of her older martial (The Butterfly album and back) I just need that old classic Mariah back for one more go…
It seems that she has completely lost it. And the last album was… Mediocre… They way they chopped up her vocals on “Can’t Give Up Now”… Its all a joke now. Everything from Butterfly and before was Mariah Carey at her best. Whom ever is approving this s*** needs to be fired. Mariah lose you longing of fitting in with today’s market and go back to the basics minus the night gowns and dramatics.
Just sit down Grandmariah…. and stay in Vegas for good.
Ciara’s lessor is back … 🙁
IDK what everyone else is talking about but this song is awesome the whole chill laid back vibe of it I love it this is like classic Mariah right here she read nick to filth and still served us a classic song it bopped wit me instantly it is a lil over produced but the whole songs vibe is so chill the best song to get over someone with so this is a hit in my eyes
…..a leftover from her flopped K=FC2 ?????
“Answer the phone like who is this”, yes Mariah, I love it!!
Yass Tisha you better troll like your life dependent on it????????
Honestly i was really looking forward for this . But sorry this is trash . Sorry but u tried
The GP and haters are so backwards I tell ya you guys would trash a good song like this to filth but would bop and make songs Rihanna BBHMM, Beyoncé 7/11, and other songs like those hits I don’t get it especially when it comes to Mariah people give her the harshest criticisms and idk why she’s always brought good music to the table *sighs* oh well
Cheesy overload…
… even her photoshopped cover couldn’t cover up the fact that this song is a tragic mess.
A tired and washed up old h**. Give it up, Mariah. You are a done deal.
I don’t know why a truly talented singer like Mariah has to play the s** appeal game. I know the demographic they are going for, but 40 year olds and older, like her, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna and Jennifer Anniston, need to act their age. (When I saw Jennifer Lopez in that Miley Cyrus twerking pose with PitBull, I had to laugh.) They can still be s***, but should try being more demure and mature. Maybe they’ll be taken more seriously and not be looked at like some kind of a joke. Then again, I guess older people don’t buy as much music as kids so I guess they’re trying to hold on as long as they can.
I dunno what planet you’re from, but no one should be limited by their age. Stop discriminating and find you an old school radio station if you can’t change with the times. Don’t use your inhibitions and expectations to try and cripple other people. #SitDown
In the words of Mariah “Why You Mad?” Cos your f***** fav could NEVER! I cannot believe thatgrapjuice tried to turn the masses against this instant CLASSIC!!!!! I’m in love with this song and i will go as far as to say that i have not heard a song as good as this this year FANTASTIC!!! She went hard! 10/10
Seriously, it’s unbelievable! This is the best song I’ve heard all year!
Agreed!
This is definitely a left over from the Chanteuse era . The tragic thing is it sounds very early Mariah and very demo(ish). It sounds like something good Ariana Grande would sing at a Mariah tribute concert. It reminds me a lot of Triumphant – flop.
All star’s burn out eventually. 🙁
Mariah Carey is a meteorite!
Predictions Top 80
More like 19th #1!!
LOL…not even Top 20. This song…sucks.
😆
Close the door, mama.. and wait for Ariana.
Mariah sings for the grown ups.
She is ovahhh. People aren’t buying the packaging anymore. Overly photoshopped cover pics, ridiculous self given nick-name (The Elusive Chanteuse) and that stupid picture they released of the back cover and tried to say that Mariah drew when she was three. People want some honesty in their music. Nice try, thou…
She had that drawing framed on her episode of Cribs way back.
This is the same site that praised Beyoncé’s 7/11 so it’s no wonder they’ll trash a good Mariah song! Foh
Okay Mimi i just need a killer video to go with this song before i land up in ICU
her vocals still yet to Be Emancipated, although Mimi’s been Emancipated years ago….
I love Infinity! It’s empowering! No more crying for a boy who’s not worth it. Better than anything else out there right now!
Her song-writing ability is much better than your journalism. Rather than writing your critiques, you need to be taking notes. At the end of the day, she’s going to look at your review like “Who is this?”.
Yaaaasss!
There are plenty of older singers who are “demure” if that’s your preference. Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion, etc. Why is it a problem if people want to dress s***? If it’s not for you don’t do it. We don’t all have a stick up our ass.
Okay… like I am a hardcore lamb. And I was waiting in excitement for sooo long. I was really curious how she would incorporate the word Infinity in a song. And I don’t want to jump the gun so fast (although I do)… but I think I out growed her for a a while. I mean like serious wtf is this for a mediocre mess. I just don’t get it. But on the other hand I do get it. Her state of mind at this particular ‘moment’ is just transcending to her music. BLEAK. I do believe that she is really kind of over. Like I don’t know how… ughh I just can’t any more with her. And I’m sorry (not sorry) for my fellow lamb but I need to be honest. And I do get maybe it’s your taste of music but like pleas. I don’t know in what kind of planet they live to think that this is a radio hit… which young or adult would listen to this wack/ childish song? It really do bothers me and still don’t get it. But I wish her all the best. She is a sweet person. And I need… guess need to let her go and just focus on her older stuff. Because I’m just really ashamed of this thing called a new mariah ‘classic’. Like what kind of standards has the new mariah musically. And that lyrical video. It’s like a cheap episode of Winxclub. It just saddens me that she still can make jams as cry, camouflage, you don’t know what to do, dedicated, Make it look good, faded, meteorite, one more try, heavenly even the art of letting go and even Thirsty. That song sounded somehow even current. If she still can make music like that why release a song like this then? It’s like you’re mine 2 wack. Hated that song. But anyways. I have discovered her for exactly 10 years ago from now. And to ended like this is. Is sad. But she had a good run. And I can’t explain what her music has meant and still means to me. But I think the problem is that I don’t connect with Mariah the artist anymore. And person. And therfore I don’t connect with her current artistry (even if you can call this artistry) anymore. It’s just sad. I am trully sorry. And I wish you well (yes it’s a reference to her song because thats (was) a lamb thing. And yeah maybe one day you will fly like a bird again. And I can say you are mine again. You have touched mine heart so many times but you also broke it like a true heartbreaker. I will never ever forget about us but my dreamlover I must say we don’t belong together anymore. Once I had a clear vision of our lover but this love takes just so much time. And I don’t want to cry but this was kind of our love story. But I do believe someday in you and me. I am feeling the emotions and I’m slipping away. When I lay underneath the stars I will ask my self where is she going to (cover Dianna Rose). It was a one sweet day when I met you. But it’s time for us to say It’s a wrap for us. You will always be my baby but my by lOkay… like I am a hardcore lamb. And I was waiting in excitement for sooo long. I was really curious how she would make a song with the word Infinity.

L4L
i absolutely love this song! AMAZING MARIAH!
soooooo disappointing. She used to have such an incredible voice with beautiful songs. I feel like she may have damaged ger vocal chords or her voice has changed with age. This song is a train wreck IMO. Fritos? Come on!
She SHOULD sing songs that appeal to the age demographic that is most likely listening to her–the 30-something’s crowd, the ones who grew up with her. But I guess when you have as much money as she does and are a self proclaimed diva you can do what you want. I miss old Mariah. Like pre-divorce Tommy Matolla Mariah. She started getting away from her real talent after that.
Some of the lyrics were funny and witty (as usual). Although this single is a little better than ‘Triumphant’ and ‘You’re Mine’, it just misses the mark. Something about this is so dry! The last song she did in this style that I liked was ‘Obsessed’ and ‘Up Out My Face’ (and those aren’t anywhere near my favorite Mariah songs). This is just not what she needs to deliver these days. I think she’s over-thinking! I bet she doesn’t realized that she’s better off writing the heart break songs similar to what she did in the 90’s. No tricks, no sing-song lyrics needed! She should write something in the vein of a ‘Love Takes Time’, ‘Can’t Let Go’, ‘Without You'(something that Mariah was able to write in her sleep back in the days). I see she’s trying to blend styles of her early days while keeping it modern and quite frankly, that’s not working! So just go back Mariah, you may lose some of today’s audience, but who cares! I truly believe she has more to gain by pleasing those willing to support her, that’s been there since day one!
*no speedy sing-songy lyrics needed!
Stfu, but yet you stan for Brandy’s UGLY FAKE ASS, who tries to be everything but herself. Sit f**.
Ooooh “facebook” is coming at me (under their troll username of course)! Stay mad and deal!
I’m far from mad f**, but you sure are with those exclamation points. Seeth on that with your UGLY fav, bye.
Why are you so hard on Mariah hun? She´s a legend and her voice and style is so damn unique and can be found in almost any male out there since 1995. She still sounds that unique. I bet you are not as hard with Janet Jackson´s last releases? Oh wait, she doesn´t care or hasn´t had the guts to release anything in 7 years. Please give more credit to the people who actually always fight against all odds. This song is better than 70-80% of the songs out there now, only because t represents an style created by he artist itself: Mariah Carey, one of the last true icons. Do you want her to deliver monster classics as if it were nothing? Why aren´t other artists her age or older (Janet) delivering them then? Really, you´re too biased. Nice, but too biased.
Johnvidal Mariah’s voice is good or shall I say once was great but not unique when she came out everybody compared her to Minnie Ripleton, and I see alot of similarities with Mariah and Minnie you can even tell the similarities but you have to say the same for Shanice Wilson and Chante Moore,whom did the same thing even with the same octave range as Mariah and Minnie. Now back to Minnie and Mariah the difference between Mariah and Minnie is Minnie never overused or abused her voice like Mariah (Mariah drinking Etc.) So she didn’t take care of her voice like she use to when she first entered the music scene when it comes to vocals Mariah’s good. But Minnie Ripleton is more better and way more superior vocally then Mariah even when Minnie was stricken with cancer she still was able to belt out a great song until she couldn’t do it anymore even after her death she’s still remembered as a vocal great also she was able to hold a note for long periods of time and had a much more h I higher range than Mariah so my dear Mariah’s just not that unique when she’s actually Minnie Ripletons understudy.
@”facebook”
You can be seated with all your emotional stanning, Mariah doesn’t get me in my feelings about anything. I use exclamation points all the time because I speak with a lot of excitement / passion/ animation (sometimes). Your the pressed stan upset over someone not liking a song! Again…DEAL!
@John
You guys are hilarious. On TGJ you’ll find lambs on hundreds of post shading JLO, Ariana, Nicki, Madonna, Beyonce, Whitney and just about any female making strides in the industry these days. They always bring other women into the mix to make an argument on Mariah’s behalf (over nothing hardly that serious). I have nothing against Mariah, I simply don’t care for some of her latest singles. It’s an opinion, ya’ll have opinions on everyone!!! I’m not going to praise someone’s music because I don’t want to offend their overzealous stans. I’m not a fan of Madonna’s and I recently said I liked ‘Ghost Town’. Same with Rih (with ‘AO’)! It’s nothing personal. I didn’t call Mariah a flop, or say she’s a crazy b**** or any of the things people say when their bashing her (matter of fact I sympathized with her on a post regarding her separation months ago). I always referred to Mariah as a legend. That’s not even a question… Do I like some of her latest music? Yes, I like some songs on the last album (Dedicated, Thirsty)…but I don’t care for her latest string of singles. You always throw jabs at Janet, I don’t attack you for having your opinion (because your usually “nice” as well). It is what it is, if I ever start talk greasy about Mariah, then that may be an invitation for some of the conflict.
Btw, I stated that Mariah should write something in the vein of a ‘Love Takes Time’, ‘Can’t Let Go’, ‘Without You’ … Not replicate them. That kind of pressure would be ridiculous!
Sweetheart, I would love to see a post where Dossom, Stephon, myself, and other Lambs that aren’t John, The Man, or Slayriah shades other women for no reason. You can never come for any fan base bc you’re the same one with the butthurt comment in the B-Rocka post love. Don’t generalize Lambs, bc even at your old age, you clearly have no idea WTF you’re talking about.
Blah blah blah, whatever makes you feel better, keep seething f**.
@”facebook”
You are bothered … Bye!
@TheElusiveLamb
Here we go with a random mention of another artist again (Brandy). I usually say my piece when I feel my favs are wrongfully disrespected or ganged up on, NOT over someone who don’t appreciate a song by them. Dossome don’t spend hours attacking people on this blog. I would mention the times you do it, but your a little more reserved under this new persona. Your other one (you know, that switches up their avi every other day and stans/dislikes the same artists that you do (as “Exclusive lamb”) does all the dirty work! You can miss me with all these games you want to play hun!
And you are pressed, as is evident with these long as novels, bye.
My dear, where did I mention Brandy’s artistry? Furthermore, i will always change my Gravatar. But I find it funny how you’re talking about new personas when a simple TGJ time warp revealed everything that I needed to know about you honey bun. Sweetheart, should I bring up the blog that has constant subtle shade towards MC which was brought up by the I Stan For Talent troll (who is now Ciara the Flop- Yes sweetheart, I know)? How about the Mariah had to release 7653733235 albums to keep up Whitney shade? Or maybe the Mariah’s One Sweet Day & WBT climax can’t compete with Céline or Whitney’s climaxes to IWALY & MHWGO? Chile STOP trying to play a victim, bc the only time I “attack” stans is when they are being pressed ie Marshmallow’s bitterness over MC has me dragging Rihanna & Aaliyah as of lately, but i still have made it no secret that i adore Riri and used to love Aaliyah. WHY YOU MAD?
Im reading all these back and forths and find them amusing. But when the words throw shade came out I totally lost it. How can anyone take anyone serious in their “debate” when they have to use filler garbage words instead of proper literate english language.
Throw shade. BAHAHAHA
I know i’m gonna get crapped all over for this-so in advance, I don’t care. ???? be as negative as you need to be.
I won’t take that seriously either.
@TheElusiveLamb
Ok, so you’re holding the few negative mentions I’ve made about Mariah against me (although I was retaliating against lambs anytime I went in on Mariah) and decided to bypass all the positive things I’ve said about her on that blog.
I guess you didn’t run across a post where I ranked 2 eras by Mariah (Music Box, Day Dream) top 10 on a greatest of all time list(for women)? … You also didn’t see where I went on and on about ‘Always Be My Baby’ being a timeless classic… Nor did you see when I compared Mariah’s catalog to Madonna’s and stated that ABMB (along with WBT) was better than any song from Madonna’s entire collection. I don’t target your fav hunnybun, I just always keep it honest (like I did today).
Still not 100% with it, but I am here for the shady lyrics and nick cannon reads.
Love the beat, who produced the song?
Produce by autotune genius …. :0
recycling garbage…..lucky if she earns her top 40.
No replay button is needed.
Nothing special.
Leave those butterflies for good, Mimi. It is so boring and over-used. Grow up!
Yesssssss Mariah carey…..we needed this..thank God I have an open mind for music
Wow I love it!
That style that has influenced several generations after her already. Here you have the original displaying that way of singing and style. No copycats needed.
ps: R&B is not a top genre. So if people want her to be #1 (the fact that there are people still waiting for that says it all about the high expectations those people always have, which means how good she is) I agree this is not the way. She would need to do pure pop or some indie-new style thing. She could easily sing that too. But she loves her music and always stays true to herself. We´ll see in the future. But for now, just for a song in a Greatest Hits, you weren´t expecting to change her whole artistry, were you? 🙂
The song is really good.
I laughed when Rashad said it doesn’t fit a bill that features Vision of love and my all as if Touch my body and Heartbreaker do (which i love because its fun and childish) Im so in love with the production though she really cane thru this time
“Almost Home” was pure pop (and was attached to a hit movie starring James Franco) and flopped. She also put out a “pure pop” remix of “Triumphant” that flopped. Stop pretending that she’s failing due to genre instead of the cold reality that the GP is over her.
Retarded argument. Almost Home? From a kids movie? You wanted that to become #1? Why did all of the mediocre songs from Rihanna and JLo for that recent movie Home “flopped” too?
Mariah has not released pop since the late 90s. Not the way pop is understood worldwide.
Plus I didn´t say she wouldn´t flop if she did pop. I only said that the way to try and have a huge success and a complete change os direction and do pop or indie, but I didn´t say it is guaranteed.
Many say they want classic Mariah but yet when she gave us some classic moments radio nor the general public was there to listen. It funny to me that when artists like Madonna and Jlo do song beneath them everyone applauds and celebrates them, but when MC goes that top 40 radio friendly route rather than A/C people say she needs to grow up. Give this woman a break JayZ is over and still rapping about much of nothing and no ones complaining double standard much. As for the song is a cool bop that will get enough radio play and people will be eating it up mark my words.
Man I don’t know what y’all talking about but I see this song doing good. The radio will eat this up I see a top 20 or her 19th #1
Sarcasm?
^^ LOL They mad. The song is a single for a COMPILATION album, not the official 15th album that is supposed to drop later this year. I don’t think this song is phenomenal, but it definitely is cute. I don’t get the ‘we want the adult contemporary Mariah thing’bc she gave you plenty of R&B/adult contemporary tracks on MIAMTEC and most of you probably haven’t even listened to the album. It’s so funny how everyone becomes a critic to MC, but if someone gave their fav this criticism, the tears would be flowing. 😆 SN Rebecca, stop trolling. You’re so pathetic.
That troll is fuming mad lol
You swear most of the critics on here are record execs the way they are going on
Lol O.K.! I can’t at some of these ppl ‘criticism.’ I didn’t know TGJ hired some of Rolling Stones critics to comment. 😆 😆 😆
Now THIS is what we want from Mariah. THIS IS GOOD QUALITY MUSIC. Lyrics have meaning, other than rhyming words together and beat is good. Love it
Horrible song. And the sad/funny part is that I pretty much expected that it would be and was right.
I can’t say I’m not disappointed because I am. This song seems like it would be a perfect fit on Memoirs which makes it dated from the get go. The chorus is cut though.
so yall praise that basic Beyoncé song 9/11 but you trash this? ok
I actually like it!
Lol this traffic ass song makes me hope that this won’t be Bey in 10 years releasing flop after flop trying to regain relevance. ylol
Well it was a nice 25 years. Go to Vegas and wrap it up with a bow. It’s gone lAMEs, she’s in her 40s and singing these crappy lil Jordan Sparks songs. The studio vocalist even sounds bad with recorded music. I said a while back that she should write for Grande, but never mind that, go raise your babies.
Ashes ashes we all FALL down!
We all go sooner or later. Maybe then the GP will love Mariah again, but until than, #1’s to Flops.
I’m not going to say much but I will say, I’m glad my fave is still making music. I don’t care if it flops or goes to the top. I only care that I still get music from Mariah Carey (since 1990)
The song is cute, not her best, but it’s cute. Haters will find anything to hate on especially from the woman they love to hate.
“Why ya Mad”? Talkn bout ya mad? Lol. I like it. She def spitn like she’s known to do and the beat is cold, I love it. It gives me that symphony sound.
Also the comments ask for classic mariah, well, go listen to MIAM…. Make it look good ft Stevie wonder, you don’t know what to do, dedicated, and faded. All these songs are amazing
Who couldn’t see this train wreck of a song coming from two miles away? Mariah’s music stopped being decent forever ago. The hilarious part in all this is watching her desperate stans come in here pretending that this BS is better than it is in an attempt to do damage control for her.
she fired her whole squad and still released this stale ass mess? lmao!
Let’s not, bc Nicki did a two year promo campaign and new team for this fake natural look and etc and only did 600k. Don’t even mention those singles success, bc most of those sales are streams. This is a single for a compilation album, not the new album will slay lives later this year.
What does any of this have to do with Nicki? Stop trying to divert attention away from how your favorite just put out ANOTHER floptastic song. At this point she has enough of them to put out a greatest flops album, which this “new” song would fit in perfectly with. This ain’t about Nicki dear, it’s about how Mariah has become a self parody.
kii and it stalled at 600k with all that single success you would think she would atleast be platinum by now? lol and she’s local Af so she isn’t even close to 1mil WW
A self parody of herself… Ok I’ll pretend this doesn’t exist, but unfortunately those ass implants, the D-List rapper relationship for PR, grey contacts, lip syncing, Safaree written verses, and etc still exist. #SelfDrag

Mariah… old woman you’re just embarrassing yourself at this point.
I love this song, but I’m not sure it’s become a huge success…
Love u mimi but this song sucks uggggh i was like huh?? oh well i will be buying the album next month though
I LIKE IT CHILDISH AND ALL … which has always been the core of Mariah songs and lyrics .. definitely a grower
Juvenile lyrics aside, this actually has the makings of a hit.
I like it!! Video concept is creative as well.
I love Mariah but why she bashin her baby father like that lol
Nothing like a woman scorn. Girl please Nick Cannon is not hardly broke. Mariah is such a evil, vindictive individual.
What happened to her???
With the exception of the emancipation of Mimi, ALL of her music after Rainbow has been pure garbage. Where is the Mariah that had huge songs???
she lost me at fritos..grow up mariah,,this is embarrassing
🙁
To InfiiiiNiTyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
She Sounds A Old / OutDated Mess.
Giving Me Mary At Some Points And Stacey Francis In Others.
What in vocal hell is this? Why wont she teleport from the 90’s already
I love Mariah Carey, but this is just not cutting it. It seems like a decent song but there are things that make it less than. For one there is something musically that just seems off. Secondly the lyrics are written very juvenile and as if a t*** should be singing it. Like she is trying too hard to appeal to the youth. Mariah with your voice you don’t need to do that. Then the “infinity-eeeeeee” part is so annoying too. The song sounded like it had potential, but in the end sounds like a week Nick Cannon diss rather than a song many could easily connect with like “We Belong Together” or “Don’t Forget About Us.” Such a damn shame.
1.5 / 5 Stars Mimi (from a HUGE fan)
Who wrote this song? A fifth grader?
I just wish she would settle things with him maturely and not drag this out – for the kids sakes
@MusicMatters201 I agree with you completely. I feel like Mariah’s songs have become incredibly juvenile when compared to her more classic songs. I understand that she wants to still be “cool” but there are ways to do that without stooping to a teenager’s level (Heartbreaker, WBT & DFAB are great examples of this). And unlike many stars who attempt to dig deeper with their lyrics as they get further into their careers, Mariah is doing the opposite. She needs to go back to whatever mindset she was in during the Butterfly era. She can be s***, cool and mature all at the same time like she was back then.
New, it’s fresh. Talent is back but unfortunately no one wants to be grown. love it!!!
That song is straight to jukebox. It’s awful
Oh Goody MIMI the screeching Cow dropped an new classic… Now if she could drop some attitude maybe it wouldnt need to photo shop every picture so she fits into the frame
Don’t get the mixed reactions to this song. I loved it instantly. Beautiful was a good song but this one is far more catchy and exciting to the ears. Love it so mucg more than Obsessed, It’s Like That and Touch My Body(on first listen) Seriously, people just have a problem because it’s Mariah. Just accept that this woman is a true legend able to continually release amazing music to the world.
Its a yes from me…..
The song sucks.
That’s the biggest problem I have with stans and fans,if this was anyone else the conversation would be different.If there’s one stanbase that’s delusional it’s most definitely the lambs,they still are going around saying her last album went gold! This song sucks! The vocals suck!
Yeah we know she is Mariah Carey and she used to be one of the best singers ever and yes we know about those 18#1’s she got by payola and airplay only besides we belong together! It’s just her albums since the emancipation have all sounded dated,forced, and just below her. The song will be lucky to hit top 40!
