Mariah Carey is gearing up to flex her acting muscles on season 3 of FOX hit ‘Empire.’
The premium diva plays the role of Kitty, a glamorous singer who stops by the Lyon label to collaborate with middle son Jamal.
Carey’s guest stint, like most on the show, comes with an original song. ‘Infamous’ is the title of hers and is a collaboration with Jussie Smollett (who plays Jamal).
Produced by Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox, the track has arrived a day early.
Take a listen below…
Pleasant.
Clearly spun from the same cloth as ‘We Belong Together’ and pretty much most post-oo’s pairings of Mimi and JD, ‘Infamous’ makes for an enjoyable listen.
We’d have preferred to hear something sonically fresh from Mariah, but hopefully that’s coming with her new album.
It’s trash, complete crap. Next!!
You’re supposed to comment on the song not what you think of yourself.
These nasty G ays hate on anything that is not beyonce or rihanna, all the while being so stupid because in reality Beyonce and Rihanna Love Mariah.
Mariah is diluting her superstardom. Quite sad… ???
Top 20 material..just like Gaga’s new song..Perfect Delusion‼️
I like it a lot and refreshing
put a fork in it…zzz
this is actually quite sad..she is putting herself at Riri’s level..
Boring..go back to Vegas. Nobody is checking.
Miley is right! She’s 100% spot on. When Mariah first came on the scene in 1990 it was all about the music and I loved her songs. A few years later, after the Daydream album and going through her divorce she started buying into her own press and became an over-the-top narcissistic diva and I lost interest. ?
I am not a fan of either Miley or Mariah but I totally understand why Miley does not like Mariah. Mariah is a out of touch had-been?
Lower case JohnVidal (not to be confused with JOHNVIDAL), Mariah KNEW that after her high profile marital dispute, she HAD to be more real and honest…even Adele started showing her real personality and enduring potty mouth (lol) after the huge success of 21…Whitney KNEW she HAD to show her true personality after the black community (and to this day, it boggles my mind WHY) thought she was selling out somehow…you can only have so many big albums before the public wants to know more…I’m not knocking your opinion about favoring the mystery tho…and Moosey Citrus was wrong for what she said! Miley just mad she’s not THE BEST ‘MC’ lol
Enough Moorish…go back to Vegas. Nobody buys your music anymore.
NOW you’re taking your imposter act too far! The REAL JOHNVIDAL would NEVER talk about Mariah the way you just did…you SAD LITTLE TROLL!
Fancy BISH
LOL Thanks! It´s truly appalling to see a couple of people are taking so much time to create so many troll accounts lately in both Mariah Carey and Lady Gaga posts. Pathetic. What a sad life and waste of time. Also yes to everything you said in your comment.
Tragic! Why? Go back to Vegas. This is so amateurish. Leave it to Ariana or Rihanna!
Jessie’s voice is just hard to listen to. Borderline intolerable!
Mediocre!
Disgusting old lady. Bye!
Put on some clothes. U aint Bey honey.
You’re right she has 18#1s….Beyonce has 10 top ten singles
Bey has 16 top ten singles with her latest one being this year.
Payola in the 90 was rampant?
And Mariah has 200 million records sold and 2 Diamond albums. Beyonce does not.
Adele now joins Shania, Mariah, Madonna, Whitney, Celine & Britney as the ONLY female artists who have scored more than one diamond album!
Beyonce who?? ??
Beyonce sold her music using her a** hubby. Mariah sold her music using her voice ??
They actually sound cool together, I was surprised she held back and didn’t go ‘ FLY LIKE A BIRD’ on him, we know he’s not the greatest vocalist, but he manages to sound like a baby usher. Loving Mariah on this
Wait till she sings..live! ?
Mariah has lost it. This reminds me of a Ne-Yo duet.
RIP…
Seen her 3 times in Vegas and she sounds amazing, social media (and Sam) are quick to post when she doesn’t hit a note, she’s human everybody has off days…she’s not a robot. Nor does she rock the same boring hairdo and gogo boots licking doughnuts ??
Mariah Carey sounds good on this single. Shes not oversinging and its probably easy to sing live. She looks incredible and sounds incredible. Very 2016 sounding and she does not sound like she just stepped out of a gospel church for once at the end
Her voice cracks easily. Thats why..
i think i began to love this track it a cool & Chill R&B song she doesn’t have to show a lot of her climax with every song she made!We all know that she can and this song is only for empire so i think it a good soundtrack for that drama season. Kudos Mariah!
Pleasantly surprised, thought she would go the rap route with him and we all know this boys singing voice is hella annoying – but – it bumps along, won’t change the world but pleasant and inoffensive.
Surprise, Surprise Mariah singing with restraint and no runs and sounding good. I was doubting her skills until I saw her in vegas and she killed it not sure why on award shows she sounds just ok but in her own element she kills it. Remove Jussie off the song and its a Yes Yes Yes for me
She actually gets really nervous when singing at award shows. But when she knows she’s surrounded by fans she is comfortable and gives a stronger performance. She’s human at the end of the day.
She was on Xanax in Vegas. Thats why..
“Yeah, I said it, has-been
Hang it up, flatscreen
(Ha ha) Plasma”
Your negative at 7:10am, sad life huh? Have you tried prayer?
Lol Nicki said it not me…….
.
Either way it’s a FACT bih
.
FYI it’s 13:20 where I am, @ 07:30 Am on my way to school….. something you’re clearly not doing or haven’t don
It’s not bad but I don’t like it.
When was the last time you liked anything By Mariah post Emancipation era?
E=MC2
Touch my Body
Bye Bye Bye
I Wish U Well
For The Record
Love Story
I’m listening to this like, “something’s missing?” and waiting for the song to go somewhere. Then I realized Mariah didn’t belt and go all Mariah lol. Which is a surprise, in a good way. I haven’t heard her this soft since, I think, Music Box (the song). I like it!
Its a good song for Empire but i hope its not a reflection on the content of the album as i feel musically she needs to move on from the same producers and the same sound for her next project.
I think she should work with Robert Gasper, The Roots, Harmony Samuels, Emile Sande, Baby face
Yess those are the right people she needs to hit up immediately.
She worked w/ Babyface on Melt Away from Daydream – Gr8 song!
Corny.
I think u mean cierror’s entire discography.. Ki
She sounds great. Could do without Jussie and his overproduced vibrato though.
This song is pretty good. The lyrics suck but I would definitely download this to replay again. Jussie sounds great on this track too. One of his strongest vocal showings to date.
Love Mariah not really into this song but it’s for Empire and actually fits the show.
This song is NO way shape or form spun from We Belong Together….
I really had my fingers crossed. This song would’ve worked with Maxwell..Jussie vocals just aren’t mature enough.
When he goes transitions into T-Pain mode I paused the track
Mariah we needs stronger vocals to counterpunch to.
Luther
Boyz II Men
Sisqo
Trey (Lorenz) yes SHADE!
And she appears on the show….half naked. Miley was right.
eej eej nie zo onbeskoft flappie, ga je tanden poetsen want je stinkt naar rotte eitjes juuu
What’s new, she’s always half naked since 97. That’s why mariah is the BREAST singe
Elusive Flopteuse.
There’s parts that I like (Mariah’s) and parts that I don’t (Jussie’s dryness)…but I’m just happy Mariah’s sounding great, she’s focused and she’s snatched for the new album! I’ll take this song over anything from Moosey Citrus tho lol…shout out to Yellow Diamonds for giving Miley her new name!
I think it’s true about Mariah BUT there’s a way to speak about someone without being direspectful. Later on in her career, Mariah just became so extra for all the wrong reasons. Yes Mariah is a legend but her voice is not the same. And I can’t stand Miley Cyrus but she can actually sing.
Urghh, I’m not a fan of her “diva” gimmick .I’m sure she respects her craft but the whole high schiol prom gown dress, flippin and attitude is over the top ?
It’ has gotten old and makes herself seem arrogant, stupid and ungrateful.
#TheFactsOfShade
Mariah Carey has 2 fxcking Diamond albums (Music Box 33M & Daydream 26M).
Beyonce could never!
Must yall bring up Bey constantly? It shows that Mariah’s fans are as insecure as she seems. Coming up with old ass 90’s stats. That s*** is over and has been since 2006 MIMI IS GOOD FOR A THROWBACK AND THAT’S ABOUT IT. BEYONCE IS NOW. WHEN Mariah decides to sell out a stadium tour WW and atleast go gold,then we can have this discusion.
Gaga’s Perfect Illusion …R&b version ?
Both ladies super talentd, unlike your faves (whoever a troll like you stans for). So stay mad.
Sounds like American Idol-ish…
Cant believe Mariah agrees to this. Leave it to Ciara or Rihanna!
I think I’d like this more as an Usher/Mariah duet.
Garbage..this woman is getting sad day by day. Look at her fugly bf? Im so done with this ?
WTF! Come on Mooriah! When that bell rings you suppose to bring the cows home honey….obviously your voice wasn’t strong enough let alone your infamous Whistle note! So sad she doesn’t have it anymore….people making up excuses for this trash! Mooriah was suppose to GO INN…this is Empire darling….you suppose to be trying to convince the gurls your back with crips vocals, runs, & high notes. SMH! Lawd bless her voice box!!
Mother and son duet???
????????????
Would you rather it be an old fossil(Madonna) and son duet
Where is Mariah Carey on Forbes list for wealthiest self-made women? Better call ex sugar grandpa Tommy Mottola…
Lol why is that pathetic Madonna Stan wasting his energy by creating multiple troll accounts when he should be creating multiple iTunes accounts so he can purchase Cardiac Flop so it can finally go gold
Pot calling kettle….Mariah Carey is yet to have a single that can outpeak Give Me All Your Luvin’ or outsell Rebel Heart this decade… ?
WRONG: Mariah has had a single that outsells Give Me All Your Luvin that same year (2012) it was released…
“All I Want For Christimas Is You”sells 1million copies every year. It hit #11 last December. Its the 11th best single of all time
SORRY try again!
TheNavy
Pot calling kettle… nothing! that comment was a response to a sad troll. That´s the thing you should be mad about, that someone spends its days creating accounts to hate on Mariah Carey and Lady Gaga. I´m starting to think it is just the same person.
What about the 1863682 singles the old h** released from Rebel heart that failed to chart lol stay pressed you butter fàg you’d swear you get paid for all this trolling????
Mariah last gold album was memoirs when was the last time Madonna received a plaque for her albums?????
Even if you combine “Me I Am Mariah” and “Unbreakable” first week sales it wouldn’t outsell Rebel Heart’s 1st week!
????
Mariah Carey’s last two studio albums from the 90’s failed to outsell Madge’s Ray of Light.
Bye Cows!
MADONNA HAS DIAMONDS IN A HER JEWERLY BOX
MARIAH HAS DIAMONDS IN A JEWERLY BOX AND ON THE WALL
That ol’ $lut image needs to go… ☝?️
You should try changing your email when trolling you bitter fàg????
Yes Sa m.. You are fool!
Sa m and Da ve created multiple account for a clickbait!
Desperate!!!! ????
Damn! The haters came outta the woodwork didn’t they? Mariah’s got y’all shook hasn’t she… Ki #DestroyedGeneration
Thank you! lol
Lol.. Hey boo?..
Lol. Right? Calling these bushes Queens when they barely debutants.
I agree! I thought these people actually had comments on the song itself but its merely them hating mariah because they are stans of lesser artists lol
The song sucks – it is that simple!
Nightclub chanteuse now doing a sitcom music????????
Her voice sounds good. This is cool for that show. The vibe is nice..
Mariah used to be able to craft and recognize a hit. This song percolates, but it doesn’t boil. When it started off, I thought it might go in a Closer (Chainsmokers) direction, but not really, though that actually would have been a good direction for a new single from her.
No insults here.The song is NOT good. She sounds as if she isn’t even trying. The auto tune is terrible (him)…over all the song doesn’t go anywhere, its boring and sounds generic. It sucks this kind of stuff is green-lit. If I were her label head, id say “NO”.
Love her! This is just an “irrelevant” song for this show. I hope she creates something a little bit new for her next album. She could still be doing amazing music if she changed the people she works with from time to time. Like when she did it for her Xmas album from 2010, which yes, was amazing. If she doesn´t do it we´ll be ok too cause she has earned it, she can keep doing whatever she wants to. I would prefer a change though.
I agree. But her last album was amazing yet it got little promotion. I think what they are doing is getting pre-promotion before her album comes out so people can actually hear it. I didnt think it was bad but I felt like they shouldve focused on Jussie’s and Mariah’s voices, meaning without the autotune lol.
Also, do you guys think this troll creating so many hating accounts is the same one who does it in Gaga´s posts? 🙂 Interesting…
Nice song
Lol I knew it…. just another empire soundtrack. Thats all… can’t wait to hear what’s coming from her new album.
It sounds like dated RnB….. Nothing fresh about it, however, for a show that i dont watch, I guess it’ll do….
How do you manage to dislike every artist with actual talent? lol
Love this song and it is now available to download and stream on iTunes
Another flop to add to her neverending flops. There will be many more flops to come LOL – what garbage.
I am convinced that all of the hatred on this is just jealous stans of other irrelevant artists. Regardless, I love the song. Its not her best but it shows her potential for the new album!
