yeah, but like the orpheum's a lot smaller than the xcel...but still, sad nonetheless... I heard that Prince had moved fewer then 300 tickets for the shows. I guess given the fact that the his hardcore fans already had tickets to the Celebration and also that the concerts were so expensive it just meant that nobody cared to go. Plus he had played Minnesota so many times in the last few years. | |

lovemachine said: Ummm...Mariah wrote some of her music and she does have a great voice. I know she wrote or "co-wrote" some of her music, but she's still a product of others. "Oh baby baby, you're the one for me. I wish we could all be beautiful and free." Is easy enough to do. That doesn't make her talented. And, her voice is fine, but she's still a goddamn product of others. I re-iterate... no sympathy! NONE! She doesn't deserve the fame she got. I cry when I think of so many of the truly talented artists and musicians out there who live in shitty one bedroom apartments because they don't match the image of the week, and instead choose to actually do something new with their music.

ChickenLittle said: Mariah's managers overestimated her popularity and booked her into venues that she can't fill. I don't know about Mariah's popularity overseas, but in the U.S., she should probably be booked into venues that have capacity of 3,000 to 5,000 seats.
Aside from Japan, the US is her biggest market. Charmbracelet debuted and peaked in the UK at #52, and general sales are down too. Vaguely better than Whitney at #76, thus missing the official album chart altogteher by one place. [This message was edited Fri May 30 12:05:15 PDT 2003 by Ellie] | |

DId you know she is RERELEASING Charmbracelet with the BUsta RHymes song??? Her album is doing so bad that she had to yank a #3 Busta Hit she appears on to boost sales--how pathetic!!
Mariah Carey To Include Busta Rhymes Duet On 'Charmbracelet' Re-Issue Wed May 28, 5:00 AM ET LAUNCH Radio Networks Mariah Carey will be re-issuing her latest release, Charmbracelet, on July 29 with four new tracks.

DID YOU KNOW that right now in Music Zone, Charmbracelet is selling for £3, 99p cheaper than her singles (although I'm one to talk, MJ's Invincible is £2  ) | |

I agree with you about how many talented artists there are out there, but don't fit into a certain image or type that is apparently necessary to be successful these days in the music biz. But I don't agree with you when you say that she doesn't deserve the fame she got, because if she didn't deserve to be sucessful, than THE MAJORITY of "artists" that are huge today sure as HELL don't deserve it either. It's not just Mariah. At least she CAN sing, which is more than I can say for many others that are selling out stadiums today.

I feel the majority of artists that are huge don't deserve it, and I include Mariah in that category. I suppose, she "doesn't deserve to be succesful" less than others don't deserve it (  ), but I still have no pity."Knowledge is preferable to ignorance.

a2grafix said: FOX 2 Detroit morning news picked up a story about Mariah Carey from the fiasco in St. Paul. Seems that a grandmother emailed Mariah's web site to ask if the star can meet up with her granddaughter, who is blind.
You know what? Fuck that! And not Mariah either, the grandmother! What makes people think they can demand these things from stars they do not even know AND EXPECT them to just drop everything for their whim???  Actually she wouldn't even be able to "drop" anything. It would be added to her full list of things to do. And family comes first, not some delusionary fans. That grandmother is rude for burdening someone with this expectation then getting it on the news  Why can't people understand that!
Like fuck, it's Mariah Carey not Mother Theresa. She's a fucking pop singer who makes records for a living. And she DOES have her own fucken problems right now, and one of the reasons for her treatment for exhaustion is because 3 years ago SHE WOULD HAVE added it to her list of things to do. Like, to whoever is reading this, I want you to come see my blind relative, and if u don't, you will violate my expectation and I will bitch about it on the org.

I really like Mariah though.The other day,I watched 'Glitter' on DVD and I was thinking,it's not all THAT bad.It's a cool little musical/movie,can't see why the critics slaughtered it the way they did. it's cause they only give props 2 the stuff people are payin 4 or what they see as the next big thing | |

Phunk all the bullshit. Mariah has been around for years and released what? 7 + albums? She DESERVES to be where she is because she has a GREAT voice. People who like her will go see her, people who don't won't, but make no mistake - she has paid her dues as an artist. All the chit chat and gossip is really trivial and beside the point. Like her = going to her shows, etc. No? = not going. She IS a good vocalist and has had a good run as a singer. | |
