Mariah is black you tried it!!! and Mariah has a BMI award for songwriting and she's one of the FIRST FEMALE to get it along with Carol king...these stans!! mariahs writes songs that actually go together and tell a story beyonce has songs that just rhyme together and make no sense!!! if Mariah can't do anything else she sure can write one hell of a song!! and on top of that she had her own label during 98 and produced for groups she signed!! Mariah did everything when it comes to recorded music....she didn't need tour because she actually sold more than an average person who did tour. Isn't that the point of touring anyway to promote your album so people can go out and buy it?
