In reply to Steph.

Doesn't staying true to yourself mean anything tho, especially in the mess that is the music industry ?? I mean, ppl have always accused Mariah of being a fake, yet she's stayed the truest, been through hell and public hate, back to love, then to 'whatever', yet she's still doing what she loves, writing and singing. I think getting compared to Madonna and Whitney is the problem, Mariah is more of a Paul Mccartney or a Paul Simon, and farther from performers like Madge, or Whitney/Celine who sing material they've been given. She's rocking out her own style and sound, if some people don't like it, and wish she'd do a RiRi type song to "stay current" that's not where she's at or what her goals seem to be. besides. what are hater's hating, she sings like a rapper, dresses like an old hollywood starlet and acts like your best friend. It's her being her.

Mariah needs to be in HQ:
