"One, I think is being bought by a rich man. Crying in the back or a limo or straining against his shackles in pursuit of something creative Ala Mariah Carrey under that record producer."
"Everyone from Mariah Carey to Lil Kim gets a high-brow, poptimist "critical re-evaluation" these days but nothing was more "pop" in the late 90s than my boys Smashmouth, Barenaked Ladies, Sugar Ray, Matchbox 20, etc."
"I don't even blame Mariah Carey, she just loves money. But people really need to stop entertaining this. It also feels like a recent thing, probably post pandemic."
"Tbf that Aaliyah song is really good but Mariah Carey absolutely did not drop the best track of 1990-1999."
"I went to the VMAs earlier tonight (my friend was nominated) and the whole thing felt fully invested in hitting every branch on the 90s nostalgia tree. Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz were there."
"Popular music in the US has a long history of 'divas' or female superstar vocalists whose music, style and personality has elevated them to royalty status. From Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Etta James to Dolly Parton, Cher, Donna Summer, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey to modern day divas Lad"
"Millenneals here might remember that in like 2004 this was one of the most popular music genres. It was constantly on the radio, right there with 50 cent and Mariah Carey."
"They used to listen to Mariah Carey and now they listen to Taylor Swift and it's all so shocking. None of them even compliment my outfits in a sassy yet cheerful manner and they all have jobs instead of painting and 'deep house'."
