Petition To Get Mariah Single Played

https://www.change.org/p/c...riah-carey

I am glad fans are dedicated to her and personally, I like "Infinity." But what does it have to do with racism? It's ageism that singers over 40 normally experience on the radio. Calling Mariah's lack of airplay "racist" is an insult to those who have truly been discriminated against.

If you're an artist (especially a female artist) and over 40 years old,good luck getting radio stations to play your new singles.They only care about young artists.

Right. Mariah is just experiencing what 99% of female R&B singers over the age of 40 have to go thru. It's really a combination of racism and ageism. She will probably never be able to depend on radio much any more.

Or maybe it's just the lifespan of a normal career? SIA is 39 but she is certainly hitting her stride on POP radio.

Gwen Stefani was also caught flopping on pop radio. Maybe rock radio is not as harsh?

The reason her single isn't getting played
is not racism or ageism.
Its a blah song.

Radio and the Billboard charts are FULL of blah songs so that can't be the reason.

Racism?? Everyone thinks Mariah is white only. Why would you want to hear a song on the radio anyway? Such shit quality.

They should start a petition for Mariah to make passable music. I'm not even saying inspired because I know thats reaching. Otherwise she needs to dip into her piggy bank and pay to play like the rest of the morons on the radio or stfu and go back to her casino.

I adore that her fans are desperate enough to resort to this. Pure comedy.

That she devil is worse than lucifer. Fuck her music being played lol this chick has already like 18 number 1 hits. There comes a time in EVERY ARTISTS life when they don't make hits anymore. That's normal and mariahs crazy ass goats or lambs or sheep whatever. Need to seriously do thing's with their life. There's so many important issues happening out there on the streets right now. And you're petitioning for mariah careys song on the radio? what are your goals? ambitions? dreams? do you workout? are you gay (of course you are. Lets not pretend here)

Do her fans learn? I mean really, a petition? is it 1969 and kids are trying to get Star Trek back on the air? I mean come on now, its a song, she hasnt been on the radio in eons from what i have been hearing in other articles about bad singles, so why would this be any different, your 44 years old or something like that, act it, oh my god already.
