Printableroundables said: VoicesCarry said: The 8-year-old comment was NOT a cheap shot. If you went to a Mariah concert around 1995, you would know that a MASSIVE portion of her fanbase was, at the time, young tween and teenage girls. [Edited 12/22/06 19:35pm] Massive portion of her fanbase was teenage girls and their MOMS. She had a sizable adult audience. Hell, you can still spot them at her concerts now they stay for Hero and exit stage left when the chairs are put on stage for Fantasy. Roundables, Mariah's music generic pop/r&B drivel. Period. She's fluff. A non-artist artist. Admit the truth to yourself. Her shit sells bigtime at Wal Mart. There isnt an original bone in her body and her live performances make Celine Dion look like Tina Turner. She blows. Of course...just my HUMBLE opinion. [Edited 12/23/06 17:40pm] I'll leave it alone babe...just be me | |

[Edited 12/23/06 17:40pm] Every artist in the top 10 of bilboard is there beacuse they sell heaps at places like wall mart. Even a group like the scissor sister were noted as selling less records than they would have beacuse they were banned from a major retail chain, that argument has no merit or point. | |

[Edited 12/23/06 17:40pm] No. I won't co-sign you hating on Mariah. There was nothing generic about Vision of Love, Vanishing, Breakdown, Close My Eyes, Reflections, Fly Like A Bird, and I could go on. Her shit sells big at WalMart, and? That doesn't take away from the fact that she has made some good songs. If that's your HUMBLE opinon that's fine just be aware that it's your OPINION, and not others. | |

roundables said: VoicesCarry said: I don't think she has popularized these people....they were all successful, sometimes on a massive scale, before she got to them. Take Cam'ron - she sampled a huge hit that was only a few years old. Now I know Boy (I Need You) was a total flop so it's not like the average pop listener's awareness of Cam'ron was increased by anything but his original track. Jadakiss, too, was on a Mariah track that nobody heard (Miss You), and he was already popular. [Edited 12/22/06 7:41am]  Sorry, but when Mariah hooked up w/ ODB he wasn't successful on a massive scale. Wutang was huge but the face of Wu was Method Man.Then how the hell was I a ten year old, suburban, white girl and I was already familiar with him? | |

 Besides, the credit for adding O.D.B. to the remix goes to its producer...
...Sean "Puffy" Combs, bitches!  | |

And specifically it was the remix that was well-known. I couldn't even tell ya how Heavy D's rap on "Alright" goes. "Now be it thick as a milkshake or thin as a corn flake..."  [Edited 12/27/06 13:35pm] "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

She went from doing Shitney Houston type music to doing shit hop. I'll tell ya, the girl has absolutely no taste whatsoever. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Mariah certainly knows how to hand out ice cream cones to willing teens, tho. That's a fact.  | |

Yes, because that's what I do with my time, "lie" and then prove myself to some loser over the Internet who has nothing better to do than accuse complete strangers over making up something so friggin' stupid and insignificant. Get a fucking grip. | |
