What Bible do you people read?

Amen ❣️

Wow.........what planet are you living on???!!!!!!

And I'll bet God loves getting a looksie at those fake jugs hanging out ALL THE TIME!!!

Simon5005 God loves Mariah that’s why she’s successful and happy and you’re under an interview about her hating LOL

But... if she didn't met Tommy... She might have discovered by someone who truly appreciated her... And she would have risen above every else. Sadly... She didn't met too many good people. Even till today, she still being given a hard time with her lip sync despite that everybody else is Lip Sync. She is truly an underrated human being.

Austin Thov Mariah was never a underrated person.

@@bryan11981 She is... Because lots of people comparing her to her old days. And those that don't compare to old days, they compare her to Celine Dion... despite Mariah have nodules. Having sold most album, having most #1 single, she still only worth 500 millions while Celine worth 800 millions... and Celine always have sold out shows while Mariah's shows had to cancelled sometime cuz not enough ticket sells. So yes, she is underrated... because alot of people couldn't see beyond the surface. She such a legend, and she deserve so much more... Despite being a sweetheart and a very humble person, many new artist didn't respect like Demi Lovato and Nicky Minaj, so that's all already said just how underrated she is.

Amen to that! Tommy was just the lucky one who discovered her first. That's all.

I can't say for sure but being his wife helped her a lot, he gave her the best producers, paid huge sums of money to market her aggressively, protected her massively too. He negotiated for the best of every thing for her because of his power and clout in the industry. I think she was his muse, he more or less opened the Sony music vault for her and got the best in the business to build her. Yes she has the talent but not too many fantastic singers will ever reach the height she did. After she left Tommy he withdrew his support and her career started gradually slowing down, even her reputation started taking a hit, her meltdown, her nonsense relationship with Eminem who had a drug problem, they threw insults at each other with songs, her marriage with Nick Cannon then the divorce, then the convoluted romance with the Australian billionaire and eventual court case that followed, the tacky disastrous reality show,then another court case with her manager, then the toy boy back ground dancer boyfriend ppllllzzz too many tabloid trash stories. Why Celine is much more successful than her, Celine's husband knows the business inside out like Tommy and they were a formidable team till he died of throat cancer. Truth be told, there would not have been any Mariah Carey without Tommy Mottola, yes she had the talent but there is a lot more that goes on behind the scenes we don't know about. Talent is one thing but if she didn't that have that massive machinery behind her she would have lasted.

melani mcready agree!

You nailed it!!

Mariah may in fact be the world's last true diva, and she seems proud of it, too. As she told Oprah, she defines the word based on its historical and musical origins from the opera world. It may be a theme in her memoir, and I am all about checking it out. 🦋

Beyond that, she not only has an "amazing" career, she is an unparalleled force.

@@barbalicious.310 I wish people didn't have a negative idea of the word diva because in the opera realm it's not negative at all. It actually means the top singer/ the soprano voice

girl hush...you don't know her. I hate when these people be talking like they know these stars personally

@@egyptian_thoth i couldn't care less if you don't agree! Don't like my comment? Just move on with your unnecessary comment!

Yes she wrote them all. Even songs she wrote when she was a teenager are now Billboard number ones. She also wrote a lot for other artists. She really doesn't get enough credit for that. As a HUGE Mariah fan, I loved reading your comment!

this is why i feel so all alone especially now because there's never discussion regarding her songwriting in an academic setting the way the other great songwriters have. it's always her incredible voice or her outrageous showbiz life.

Well, most of the time - generally speaking - it is very much a collaborative effort. If you consider lyrics aswell as music and production, then for sure! But even if it's only about the lyrics, most of the time there is at least one other person that helps them complete the lyrics when they are stuck, writes whole verses, bridges, and/ or choruses, helps them leave stuff out or remodel the song completely. It depends on what you call "writing a song (on your own)". I get annoyed be people in her position claiming all the praise and recognition for themselves. Gaga, has at times done the same. Proclaiming loudly:"I have written all the songs on this album". You find out later that at least a few songs were "given to her". And that she did have co-authors, as can be seen in the song credits. And I hate when they fail to address the group effort that goes into it or don't acknowledge the contributions of others, the help they have gotten. I believe it is part of an image of power, talent, ability, skill, amd independence, that they need to create to be recieved better and sell better. Or tat they want to create People want to admire someone who has it all and can do it all. Being able to "do it all" is also part of the justification for their fame, fortune and status. And it is somehow the job requirement of a pop star, the societal role of an international superstar, if you will, to embody this image.

Songwriters Hall of Fame Honoree 2020. There are conducted studies that say Mariah's songwriting has the smartest lyrics and has a unique way with words that allows her not to fall in repetition to actually make a simple song.

@@johanneshalberstadt3663 yeah. mostly with walter afanasief or jermaine dupri. but most of the time, it's her with the lyrics and melody. she guides walter with the chords actually. it's just how she was marketed. as a singing diva. and now she's turning it back to her as a songwriter and a musician. which i personally been waiting for a long time.

Was looking for this comment! Agreed 1000%!!!

Better than Oprah imo. No disrespect to Oprah.

I thought the same!!. And those were very personal questions but asked in a sensitive manner, didn't feel out of place.

Planned ahead questions lol

She's a diva because she's the furthest thing from a diva 💜

Thank you Jennifer! Well put! Mariah = 🔥

Nikki Law maybe you’re just broke lol and also filled with hatred as I can see..

Nikki Law lol yeah ok 😂

book is soooooo good

Imo, this was an example of how parents sometimes say things that stick to their child's soul without realizing it...

One of our wishes as children, is that we hope that our parents are proud of our own happiness. But instead, we get projections of their insecurities passed on to us. I hope Mariah and her mom give grace and allow room to heal and grow closer together 💕

Like she said that was a singular comment - not a common practice and we don't know what brought it about. If she was trying to train Mariah to take care of her voice and Mariah didn't want to hear it - I can see how that would happen. It's not to say Mariah sucks, but she's going to eventually hurt her voice.

Her mother was an alcoholic growing up it probably happened then

That's our Mariah

Same! It’s like watching the 90s Mariah. I’m not really a fan of her doing the “diva acts”. I love her like this.

Lowkey I feel like the diva persona is almost like an armor for her.

y’all annoy me 🙄

She got rid off that toxic Russian manager. She was a bad influence.

I hated the docuseries she did with Stella. It made her look new in the music industry that was just trying to figure out life.

Preach

You wanted know who's Truly Grounded and Mature.......those families of people who Died of COVID 19.

@@Fourwindsofsuccess 💕💕

I will be buying both, I just have to wait until the 9th when I get paid.

I definitely will be buying. Mariah is a queen.

I’m buying multiple copies of each

Both on pre-order. I’m so looking forward to both ❤️

Mariah doesn’t need anymore money.

The idol of all the greats? Hm, what? More like her idols are the greats. Saying she's *the* greatest of all time is such a stretch, too. You sound like a deluded fanatic.

@@drewgab3172 Or he can read this history books or awards she's received. Artist of the Millennium. She was so ahead of her competition she got the best selling artist of the 90's award a year early. She created Hip - POP which everyone and their brother uses to get hits now and the singers of the past 20 years try to sing like her which are all things we've never seen in music history. Whether you like it or not.

coz they cant wait to mourn for their mothers' death

@Tony Montana ? Are you trying to say that doesn't matter?

Well said

Both of my sisters are half Mexican and half White. One of my sisters doesn't speak Spanish yet looks a little Hispanic. My other sister speaks Spanish yet looks European White. Both were accepted by White peers but rejected by Hispanic peers. My daughter looks Hispanic yet speaks no Spanish. She was picked on by her White peers AND Hispanic peers. Interestingly, all 3 had the toughest time in junior high and high school. Before and after, no issues.

@@cosettelaplante699 Being Mexican isn't incongruous with being White... The fatherland of Hispanic people is also in Western Europe, so how does one look Hispanic but not European White?

@@briannab4037 obviously you're a part of the problem. Why can't you be encouraging? Signed a multi racial woman. P.S. unless you live it, because you are biracial or multi racial, you really don't know!

@@jessicazimmerman9627 Be encouraging about what? I don't really know what you're referring to, sorry.

Brianna B you sound ignorant and stupid. Sorry

Maybe there will be an ad in the book for it.

@Raimundo91 yeah but I want her album to be successful just like her memoir. I hope she will promote it after her memoir because that album is also a gem, an underrated one

She apprated in Colbert just to talk about her album and not really the book. The book was like a side mention. It's true that the album isn't being promoted but what album is now at days!!. It's all about promoting singles anyway.

It may not be considered an 'album' by the label since this stuff has all be pre-recorded. She's just releasing old material so it's not seen as new work. Therefore, there wouldn't be a budget for it. It's just being released. News of her book is spreading news of the album to the fans who want it.

It's through so much. You are welcome.

Rachel Zol your life must suck very bad. This is so sad smh.

I don’t know why some kids are like that, for them it was probably a joke and they were probably laughing at her. I was bullied at school and I don’t why some kids were so mean to me, I was always short, I remember this one day when these bullies held me in their arms and start running around with me, then they threw me on the floor, I bruised my arm on the wall when I fell, and they were there laughing. People say kids are pure, but some are evil.

My daughter was called the n word. And she's part Native American.

Those kids were taught to hate. It starts at home.

I feel like her mom should have homeschooled her so she didn’t have to be bullied as often

Yeah, kids can really be vicious... Most of the viciousness stems from unresolved emotional issues, I think.

Wdym you can't?

I knew those lyrics weren’t just written for the movie,it makes sense now

God’s love conquers All!

Precious Peach42 Amen🙏🏽

@@perrip2355 it all makes sense now.

I was just about to type that!! So rude!

MC responded brilliantly (6:00). And Tommy isn't doing such a bad job with his statements to the press (7:25) as coming through as sincere, if not only professional.

It sounded super sexist but I think she did it for the greater good: she wanted to have that on record so Tommy himself and anyone else would hear that Mariah Carey is Mariah Carey because of Mariah Carey lol Tommy it's just being the phony that he is. Had been the ultra powerful man that he once was at Sony, deep down there I still think he thinks she wouldn't have made without him 🙄

Answer is yes...

And she had record companies after her when she signed with Tommy!

Me too, just by their performance together I really thought she was a different person, but oh well

I didn’t know these things about her mom either . I just knew she was supportive or seemed to be

Just because she said one hurtful thing doesn’t change they had and a still do have a great relationship. Think bigger people

She knew it. She Did it on purpose to let the whole world know about it. That's what you called an interview

She didn’t know but Oprah did. They’re best friends, so that’s puzzling🤨

@@ciarrajohnson3849 do you know everything your best friend knows? I'm certain you don't.

However, you can also act like you didn’t know to see what that person divulges, which I do often

Record the song baby, show the song to the world jaja

Same!!

Same💯🦋👏🏽‼️❤️

Wanting to know this too

I think she doesn't mentioned him because he's not worthy enough. He mentioned that he wanted to get married and have kids of his own and Mariah is done done with that. So maybe, she aware that he is not gonna stay with her forever.

Am guessing they're aren't together anymore.

sony so they are
