Very well put. Mariah did her thing, like Madonna & Whitney wer doing at the time, putting out albums on a regular and predictable basis, following the same genre, she built up a fan base, and did not disappoint. Then she started doing her own thing once she divorced, but at that point she COULD do what she wanted. She had millions of fans behind her, because of her talent. She had already proven herself. Now, there's no grey area. People either love her or hate her. But she did write all of her own stuff, and that voice of hers' is legendary. Without a doubt.
