Re: I was loving Infamous (66,991) (67,000) by Will from England I thought I was the only one who noticed those tongue clicks. They're the only bit I don't like about the song. (Tuesday 4 October 2016; 12:22)

Solange - A Seat At The Table (66,999) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines I just listened to Solange's latest release and boy is it glorious. I have always preferred her voice over her sister Beyonce's, mostly because it's less brash and showboat-y (i.e. easier on the ears). You just gotta check it out, guys, while the link's still up. Once the first track hits you, you're gonna be convinced that this should be the new direction Mariah should be trying. The production is very interesting, utilizing and mixing sounds that are intriguing and rarely used in mainstream releases. So while most people are still celebrating Lemonade's imminent Grammy success this early, I'll be here listening to Solange's new outing. (Tuesday 4 October 2016; 12:00)

Empire outfits (66,998) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Although I still need to know why Mariah is wearing a bodysuit in the studio, I have to say the scene of her rehearsing in that fitted gown on stage, she looks fabulous. Beautiful woman, loved the hair and outfit. I laughed out when she needed 2 people to help her get down from the stage but she did look beautiful. I hope this shuts the fat shamers and photoshop rumors. Yes she does use photoshop but in most of her recent shoots (the Vegas shoot, the SSFT Europe promo poster, the Complex shoot and the Other one with the pink background) they might have airbrushed her skin but her body size was not shrunk down. That's exactly her real size. (Tuesday 4 October 2016; 11:24)

Re: Infamous/Dangerous sneak peak (66,992) (66,997) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I can't with Mariah plugging her own show in Empire. She knows Stella and the crew suck at promoting so she has taken it upon herself to get the word out there. Is Mariah taking Jussie to the Latin America leg though? (Tuesday 4 October 2016; 11:18)

Re: Mariah's Empire outfit is outrageous (66,985) (66,996) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines It kinda reminds me of Rebecca Romijn/Jennifer Lawrence's bodysuit as Mystique on X-Men. She looks great, although most will describe her get-up as Vegas trophy wife chic with not so subtle hints of hooker. The clip looks better than I expected. Hope she brings it in all her parts in the entire episode. (Tuesday 4 October 2016; 8:55)

Meteorite (66,995) by George Golden from UK Meteorite would have made number one with a classy video. It was like nothing she had ever released and it was very now. She keeps doing those mid tempos that are too predictable. (Tuesday 4 October 2016; 8:06)

Mariahs Brazil interview is amazing (66,994) by Ty from USA Clocks in at 11 mins, she talks about her lambs, kids, empire, songs she's recording and she's not guarded. She's the carefree, funny Mariah. I found it on Facebook on Mariahnow's page. (Tuesday 4 October 2016; 4:04)

Re: Infamous/Dangerous sneak peak (66,992) (66,993) by Mara from United States Yes. Makes sense now, especially when they said Mariah may be brought back before the season finale. She invites him on tour and out of the three Hawaii dates will get a decent Mariah approved performance of the song with Jussie that they can put on the show. Makes me very excited for Wednesday's show. "Kitty" is basically Mariah without all the over the top diva talk. People are saying she should have just played Mariah, but I think that's what makes it more interesting, almost. Mariah without all the "Dahhlings" and Divaisms almost makes a good change in her persona. Just to see Mariah be "Mariah" just toned down. (Tuesday 4 October 2016; 2:28)

Re: Infamous/Dangerous sneak peak (66,988) (66,992) by RibbonB from USA Here is another and longer snippet of the show. Kitty invites Jamaal on tour. I am loving what I am seeing so far. (Tuesday 4 October 2016; 0:25)

I was loving Infamous (66,991) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia I love me a slow jam, so I was loving Infamous. That is until I was playing it in my car and noticed "Drop it Like its Hot" style tongue clicks in the chorus. Now that's all I can hear. (Monday 3 October 2016; 21:41)

Years & Years (66,990) by Luke from United Kingdom So they've (or he if it's not a band lol) have just released a song called Meteorite. It might be a little influenced by Mariah but it's quite different so I can't tell but I just feel it's nothing compared to Mariah's Meteorite. Since that album came out I've consistantly played that song and it's never failed to please me. It makes me sad that they didn't release it and promote that song because I'm sure with a killer video she'd have another #1 at this point. Comparing the songs, this is Mariah's Meteorite and this is Years & Years' Meteorite. (Monday 3 October 2016; 21:37)

Re: Infamous (66,951) (66,989) by B from USA Guess who has egg on his face yet again. Those so called excuses were validated. (Monday 3 October 2016; 21:01)

Re: Infamous/Dangerous sneak peak (66,987) (66,988) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter No I don't think Jussie is in the stage part. From what I've seen in the clips Cookie and Jussie visits Mariah while Mariah is rehearsing with her band. There Mariah tells him how she has an idea about a song perfect for them to sing, you can check it out here. I'd love for them to have Mariah sing a snippet of her own song while she's "rehearsing" and then turn around to see Cookie and Jamaal. (Monday 3 October 2016; 19:53)

Re: Infamous/Dangerous sneak peak (66,982) (66,987) by RibbonB from USA I think she will have a good amount of time. They seem to actually perform it on stage as well as the studio time. It looks really good. (Monday 3 October 2016; 19:25)

Re: Infamous (66,976) (66,986) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She said "a little more touch my body". As in "a little less conversation and a little more touch my body". Which is not incorrect. We don't even know if she referenced Mariah. We were just joking about it. It could just have been a coincidence. (Monday 3 October 2016; 19:12)

Mariah's Empire outfit is outrageous (66,985) by Sheila from United States I can't stop laughing. (Monday 3 October 2016; 18:52)

Re: Infamous (66,979) (66,984) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha true. Now that Ariana has stopped blatantly copying Mariah, I wouldn't mind them singing on stage or whatever. They can easily squash this "feud". Ariana has been a Mariah fan always and Mariah has apparently praised Ariana to Nick. (Monday 3 October 2016; 18:31)

Extended sneak peak (66,983) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This is an extended version of the sneak peak Mariah tweeted. Explains why they decided to auto tune the rap verse. Love the little flirtation between Andre and Mariah. Andre is one good looking dude. (Monday 3 October 2016; 17:27)

Re: Infamous/Dangerous sneak peak (66,981) (66,982) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Saw the clip, I was worried about the acting before but she did fine. So I'm relieved. I like that they included a "coaching moment" and didn't just dive straight into them singing the song. I hope they give her a good amount of screen time since they have been using her name to promote the show since even before the season aired. (Monday 3 October 2016; 17:18)

Infamous/Dangerous sneak peak (66,981) by RibbonB from USA Mariah tweeted a wonderful sneak peak of her performance on Empire and she is great. It explains a lot and of course they focus on "It's dangerous". Sounds really good and she is coaching Jamal back to singing confidence. (Monday 3 October 2016; 16:57)

Infamous would have made more sense (66,980) by Shezz from Pk Ok I'm not going down the whole "Glitter was a soundtrack not a Mariah album" route or defending Infamous - it's an average song nothing great - but if it were to be released after the Empire episode it would have been received a little better within the context. Yes it should have been good enough to stand on its own for sure but seeing the episode and understanding how its written to help Jussie's slump - hence Mariah doesn't stand out much and the whole Empire context it would have made a little more sense. Though this song wasn't nearly as hyped up as Infinity. The only person I can remember who hyped it was Terrance Howard. (Monday 3 October 2016; 16:17)

Re: Infamous (66,970) (66,979) by Malcolm from Asia Don't forget the "dangerous" reference of Mariah from Ariana's latest album Mimi L. Lol. I see nothing bad when these 2 ladies got to do a duet. With VH1 Divas coming back, hoping to see Mariah in there having a duet with one of these reigning pop stars, Maybe a "Emotions" performance together with Ariana? (Monday 3 October 2016; 15:39)

Re: Infamous vocals (66,966) (66,978) by darrian liu from taiwan I agree. Mariah put a bit too much restraint in Infamous but it's better than making a song with tons of high notes she can't consistently hit live. Plus, Infamous has that minimal sound that I've been wanting her to lean more on and although the results isn't very good for Mariah's standards, it's decent. And the more I listen to it, it actually grows on me pretty quickly. Mariah's harmonies are also more subdued and sounded so pretty. (Monday 3 October 2016; 15:23)

Re: Infamous vocals (66,973) (66,977) by Edouard from France Hi don't worry it doesn't. I think it's not necessarly preservation. [...] gave a lot live so in the studip it can't be a problem for an amazing singer like Mariah. I think she wants to present herself less like a vocal powerhouse and appeal to a younger generation that is not familiar with amazingly gifted vocalist. They really aren't. And no, [...] is not an amazing singer [...] good. [...] Mariah is just exeptionnal. Christina Aguilera is a great singer. I don't like her voice and what she does with it but it's undeniable. Mariah's just more of an artist with her instrument I believe. (Monday 3 October 2016; 14:08)

Re: Infamous (66,970) (66,976) by Edouard from France The only difference is that Mariah used the English vocabulary. Ariana used Mariah's vocabulary. When she sings "a little touch my body" it should be spelled as "a little: 'touch my body'". She even sings it the way MC does. Total plagia. (Monday 3 October 2016; 14:03)
