Listening again and again and picking up all these subtle little ad-libs and trademarked Mariah Carey Coos throughout. This is the first single or song I have heard from her in a while without a single whistle note, which is cool. Meanwhile, Pitchfork has called attention to the song. Hipster Queen! Her not doing a whistle note per usual could be used to her advantage since it won't be expected when she does this hopefully for a future performance. People are always waiting for the backtrack to start once we know the big climax is coming but with this more subtle outro she should be able to nail this whole track live.

Mariah hasn't met a car she didn't want caress herself on.

The only part of this I like is the first half of the hook.
"Infinity" was miles better.

I really like this! I could do without the rap parts, but the beat works and she sounds great!

It actually is not that much of departure from "We Belong Together", midtempo, classic Mariah.

I actually love this, don't know how people compared it to Triumphant or 100%, this one actually sounds like a proper first single. Somehow the MV didn't make me cringe like "Beautiful" did, despite the extra sensual scenes
Did "Infinity" ever get to the top 10 on iTunes?

It sure hit dead stop after having a promising trajectory. Guess that not a as surprising as reaching the Top 10. I'm just glad she's recording. I looking forward to TRe-EOM

Just listened to this. Wow what a mess. This could fit in about 20 yrs ago. It's so sad such a brilliant artist of the 90s still trying. You mean a brilliant artist who began her incredible career in the 90's and then wrote the billboard song of the next decade that was #1 for 14 weeks in 2005? And had three #1's throughout that decade? And released a brilliant album in 2014? And slays every other artist's entire careers every December? And currently has a new single sitting pretty in the iTunes top 10 worldwide? Cause for a second there I thought you were talking about living legend Mariah Carey! Phew, that was close :sip2:

Phew, that was close :sip2: I still think it's a mess.. Her last brilliant album was over a decade ago. Yes she may still have a Christmas hit every year but so does Brenda Lee. Mariah is no longer relevant in this day and age. All the old divas keep trying and once in awhile they make a breakthrough with one song. This isn't the song! I'm not hating on her I'm just saying sinkhole the hits and realize your star has burnt out. Like Janet, Madonna and Cher. Even Britney Spears at her young age is over. Minor hits that stick around for a day or a week don't make you a top star anymore and actually never did. Enjoy yours riches and let the new stars shine.

This is okay, it would be a lot better if the production wasn't so awful. That instrumental is all over the place and it doesn't mesh with the melody at all. And I like YG on this, haha.
That video though, she is so awkward/clumsy/clunky, I wish she would stop this "laying/standing around rubbing myself" thing. It just always looks so sad.

This pretty much. My biggest surprise is actually how much I like YG lol. The record as a whole is so-so, mainly because of how it's put together. There's a clunkiness to the chorus that's directly a result of the track and melody not going well together. I think my favorite part is the second verse.

This may come off harsh, but I don't think you realize what an a**hole you sound like. You wanna tell a 46 year old woman that she should stop doing what she loves because maybe she's not as good at it or as successful as she used to be? Here's a solution: if you think she's so "irrelevant," "old," and "burnt out" how about you stop listening to her and posting in her threads? Not to mention selfish, as there are thousands of us who are incredibly grateful she's still out there making music.

I'm glad she made sure to have music once the reality show ended. She can teach more than a few about doing so when the reality show is done. That smart thinking results in this nice showing on iTunes. This woman is a definition of smart in regards of marketing when your face is being shown weekly for a few weeks.
As for the song, it's cute and I definitely love the sample. I could do without YG, honestly don't know him and don't want to get to know him. He is honestly an embarrassment to the song, but I understand his inclusion, I guess. It does feel a little overproduced, but due to the times, it is understandable. I'm shocked that there is not a climax, but once again, these children cannot appreciate the art of music anymore.
But anyway, go ahead Mariah, show them that talent will always prevail over nonsense.
