Andrew. You wrote the book that needed to be written. You gave Mariah the intellectual rigour she deserves. You did not write a hagiographical sycophantic book that wouldn't critique Mariah properly. The fact that there wasn't much in the way of negative critique was not because you are a blinded lamb, it was because on a fair assessment, which you gave, there isn't a great deal negative to day about Mariah. You captured her artistry, giving equal weight to her songwriting and production abilities ad to her voice. I get how Mariah feels annoyed, and we do too, that she doesn't get the recognition as a holistic musician she deserves. This however, is not because she's a woman, or because she's black, or because she doesn't present as a musician so much as a diva. Well, those things are likely to play a role. But the chief reason is because her voice is so staggering in ots virtuosity, so rich, so mellifluous, so powerful, so changeable, so melodic, so instrumental, so able to carry narrative, that it blows nearly all other aspects of her out of the water. There is something Godly about it, and let's think. Where are the stars today who can sing rhe say she could in her prime? Where are the Mariah's and Whitneys? You'd think a few would show up. But noone, not even Grande, whose music is so influenced by Mimi and who had a terrific voice, comes close to matching Mariah's mastery of the vocal. She understands voice aswell as being able to sing. You wrote beautifully about the phenomenon of her vocals. You analysed some of her best work. Which brings me to my key point. There was something uncanny and otherwordly about this book. I kept, over and over again thinking oh my god this is exactly what i think...this is sooo true...wow i could have written this myself...is this man reading my mind? The reason it feels like you get her get it and get us so well is because you wrote the truth, of which there is only one version. Masterful work. If I had to point out a negative, I would say that you did not need to keep it relatively short. I feel like ypur experience as a journalist, writing essays, put you in a mindframe where you thought you couldnt go on and on because you'd lose the audience. However, its the fans buying it and loving it. You could have doubled the amount written and we would read it. Concision is good but the main element of the book that suffered from it not being longer was the analysis of her songs parts. Each that you did was briliant, but her repertoire is huge and you had to miss out so many songs. You did pick out the ones that illustrated a particular point you were making, which is a very good and smart editorial decision. But i get the feeling you have more to say. What I truly think you should do is another book, focusing on each of Mariah's albums, going in depth to talk ablut the best tracks on each album with some research, your views, what they illustrate, what you think they are about, how they biographise her, the evolution. I accept that more music analysis would have changed the book into something else though. You also gave a great amount of time explaining what she means to the fans, to the lgbt community, to the music industry on a psychological and sociological level, which was great. You expounded upon her personality. All in all one of the best books I have ever read and I have read thousands too many to count. Finally someone who gets Mariah but who also has the deep intelligence required to really deconstruct why Mariah matters. I recommend it. It is a serious piece of work which takes seriously a seriously important woman. Well done. One thing I am desperate to know (I haven't yet watched this video, I shall now but had to gwt that off my chest first) is whether Mariah is aware of the book, whether she has read it, whether she had reached out to you at all. If she hadn't been made aware of it someone needs to do something about that. And she should fire her publicist. I haven't seen her do anything to help promote it, by for examole tweeting about it. I imagine it's because she's humble and doesn't want people to think SHE thinks she matters. But Mariah needs to read this to claim it, and be happy that however misunderstood she had been in life, there are people who get her intimately. Bravo! Ps that im the only watcher or commenter here is appalling.

I hope Mariah sees this.

First time I get a glimpse of Gina A. Her name was very familiar. I was an addict of the national broadsheet the PDI ( with the blue masthead ). Language and literature can always be wieghed with right and wrong things in the word. Kudos to AA organizers.

Would the US and UK governments allow a person of a different nationality and their nationality to run the US and UK governments? Because I am a Russian girl with dual citizenship. I want to run the US and British governments. Who knows the answer? Please give me an answer. Thank you I am a Vietnamese Communist. But I also have US citizenship. Can I run the United States government in Congress. I am a Russian politician. Can I run the US government and the British government?

I'm reading this book giving voice to the italian version for the Blind Union in Modena (UICI) and I'm loving it....wow. Never thought I could find myself inside a story such this one. Congratulations for your creation ❤

Sahar was my introduction to Islam and Bollywood and seven layer burritos. I’m glad to see she’s still a passionate, beautiful soul ❤

his "yoooo" (you knw) sounds really cool!

I really like how Mira interviews Deepti.

He has never defended any black cause during his 8 years of administration.

anyone know why does ted keep saying "yo" ? is it a taiwanese in between word like "uh" or "umm" ?? i've never heard it from my taiwanese friends.

Wonderful conversation. Ghinwa asked thoughtful and thought provoking questions. I am currently reading If an Egyptian Cannot Speak English and will now be adding An Unlasting Home to my tbr list. Thank you for this GREAT dialogue.

First of all I want to say that I really felt a crazy identification, and now I will say what country I am from Israel, and it doesn't seem like there will be another nation in all the nations of the world that feels more alike than the same feeling of racism, but I personally laugh at the same racism and ignorance of people, it seems so low to me, it's screwed up and not normal, I'll just let Give one example, the Jewish people went through a holocaust (not just one) we were always persecuted,In short, we went through a horrifying and world-shaking holocaust, something unimaginable by reason and logic, there is evidence that it happened more than that, those who did the holocaust are aware of the fact that they did, massacred, murdered, destroyed almost an entire people, look how sad what I want(There are people and countries still They deny that there was a holocaust, they say it was an invention of the Jewish people)!It's funny, it's sad, but I'm very, very proud to be an Israeli Jew, and I wouldn't change it, neither in this world nor in any incarnation, on the contrary, I say thank you to the Creator of the world that I was privileged to be of the Jewish people, to show everyone that here is anyone who wants to destroy Us did not succeed We and the South Korean people are here and we will stay as well, and I really hope that something will change for the better and there will really be real peace between people, peoples, and countries⁦❣️⁩⁦🇮🇱🤝⁦🇰🇷⁩🌺⁦♥️⁩
