The Business…On Mariah Carey’s Comeback

Published: Monday 17th Feb 2014 by Sam

Following a host of false starts, Mariah Carey made her chart return this week with new single ‘You’re Mine (Eternal)’.

As always with Mimi, the track’s arrival brought with it a multitude of different opinions – even more than usual as the diva unwrapped the cut’s accompanying video on the same day.

Off to a respectable start on iTunes, attention has now turned to how the song will fare in such a competitive climate, with some critics wondering aloud if the singer’s outlandish diva-isms (see: bizarre Breakfast Club interview) will count against her this go round.

That Grape Juice weighs in on the debate in the latest episode of The Business. Hit ‘PLAY’ to watch and be sure to let is us know what you think of new Mimi below…

  3. Shade February 16, 2014

  4. LOL February 16, 2014

  5. beyonce f***** barak obama February 16, 2014

  6. Ariana’sGrand February 16, 2014

    Truth tea everywhere. Patrick said the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

  7. London February 16, 2014

    I dont really like him or the way he does business, but u gotta admit the man spoke the truth. Her time is up!

  8. Vega February 16, 2014

    People are so pressed..
    I’ll never understand, if you don’t like what a blog is saying go to another one and stop complaining.
    Mariah is the queen of the 90’s..it’s 2014
    The lambs can dish it out but can’t take it.
    This is one of the many reasons You’re Mine(last porkchop) is flopping now.

  9. London February 16, 2014

    @VEGA, rotfl!!!!!

    Mariah deserves ALL the shade that she gets and will be getting. She has some really nice and iconic songs and truth be told she is (was) a great singer who puts (put) lots of soul and emotions in her singing. BUT THAT’S THE END OF HER LIKEABLE SIDE. She is extremely conceited and self-centered. Her childish antics aint helping her either. I bet if someone asked her if she knew any celine dion song she would say no. yup that’s how f***** up the old broad is. It’s s*** like this that turns people off. Her soul is in need of some serious surgery.

  11. Naomi February 16, 2014

    Mariah throws so much shade, she deserves to get shaded back. All i hear is truth tea anyway.

  12. Basura Caliente February 16, 2014

    No one is pressed you r*****. People are just stating their opinions after observing Mariah Carey and her rotten attitude.

  13. BritneyGalore February 16, 2014

    Yes yes and yes again, the truth has been said today. Mariah’s attitude is disgusting and I am not here for it.

  14. DOSSOME February 16, 2014

    Toni Braxton’s last platinum hit-1999

    Whitney’s last platinum hit-1999

    Janet’s last platinum hit-2001

    Madonna’s last platinum hit-2008

    Celine Dion’s last platinum hit-1999

    Mariah’s last platinum hit-2013

    ^considering those are her peers,she’s not doing badly at all.If 24yrs after first topping the hot 100 she’s still expected to hit top 10 or otherwise be labelled that overused word FLOP,then i must say the bar is set unfairly high for her.She proved she’ll forever be relevant in 2005 and people want her to do it again,smh…come on,this b**** had her first no.1 when rihanna was 2 and her last no.1 when rihanna was 20,Is that not good enough?HER diva attitude is nothing to hinder chart success,it’s got plenty to do with AGEISM!!!let’s see how your faves will fare 20 years,and sadly it seems Beyonce is the only one of her generation going to reach THAT status,you kids will wish to have your faves flop like mariah few years from now.BOOKMARK THIS

  15. Ninafly February 16, 2014

    This generation could care less about Mariah and the older generation ignores her because she tries so hard to fit in with this generation lmao. It’s a lose-lose with her.

  16. I’m that chick you like!!! February 16, 2014

    Sam give it up mariahs queen DEAL! whether she has another underperforming album or not…she’s still going to be the most relevant artist that started in the EARLY 90S not the late 90S. if Mariah wasn’t still hot stuff you wouldn’t have made a VIDEO about clearly you’re interested and going to check for the album. Mariah wins because her music always catches peoples attention hater or not.

  17. S****** Blonde February 16, 2014

    @Basura Caliente
    I agree with u in everything, her attitude is irritating, i also love your avi and nickname, creo que estoy enamorado!

  18. Super Cisus February 16, 2014

    F*** this crazy b****

    Mariah Carey is THE best….hands down! Who the hell wants a “relatable” Mariah Carey? That actually makes no sense. Is Madonna relatable? Is Beyonce relatable? Is Rihanna relatable? Hellllll nah, none of them are! They lead an extravagant lifestyle and it would be hella dumb if Mariah Carey just all of a sudden just switched up and changed who she was. If you don’t like her personality than that’s your own business, but I respect her because she doesn’t change who she is for anyone….she’s her own person and does what makes her happy in life. What DOES make Mariah Carey relatable is her music and the lyrics that she pens. Any human being in any walk of life can listen to a Mariah Carey song and relate to it in some form or fashion. That should be the main focus…..not the fact that she’s a diva (which she has been for the last 2 decades, not really sure why everyone has an issue with it now).

  20. DOSSOME February 16, 2014

    madonna fans shouldn’t be coming for mariah’s personality tbh…i’m 100% sure she would NEVER trade the life she’s living now for chart success of any measure

  21. ThatBeach February 16, 2014

    I luv Mariah!

    fukk all these low-lives bitsches and kids.

  22. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) February 16, 2014

    Lmfao.. MADONNASAUR fans have no room to talk. Madonna has feuded with Gaga, Mariah, Janet, Whitney, Cher, etc. & she is very conceited herself so I don’t know why her fans feel the need to come for others. Even Whtiney was cocky as well… She literally thought she’s the best to ever do it. Celine is the only diva that could be called humble. Aretha and all of them have shown attitude and threw a lot of shade. But for some reason it’s always Mariah that gets called out for being a bitchh when there are many just like her or even worse. Mariah has bitchess bothered for over 24 years and I like it… Lol.

  23. QUEEN MARIAH > YOU H** February 16, 2014

    Mariah has MORE Facebook likes, Twitter & Instagram followers, Wikipedia searches, Google searches, Youtube views THAN Madonna, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, Kylie Minogue, Celine Dion!

    She is MORE RELEVANT than all of her PEERS !!

    Her new ALBUM will slay. All the hot producers are on it! I have no doubt in the QUEEN!

  24. TGJ Is Out Of Order February 16, 2014

    Always Tryin’ To Shade Mimi. The Overweight Comment Is Unfounded, Rude and Uncalled For…Yet You Pen Her As The Shady One? I’m Glad Everyone Is Catching On To TGJ’s Unessacary Mean Mentality.

  25. Theman February 16, 2014

    Lol she’s shady because she said she didn’t hear a beyonce song? If she didn’t hear it, she didn’t hear it dayum, If Beyonce had said that she didn’t hear a song, this bootleg a** site would not be tripping.. But this is Beyonce. net.. She said nothing shady, when asked about Ariana, she simply said she wishes people longevity if this is what she wants to do.. Ariana did a billboard piece where she didn’t mention MC, when she clearly copies her. So acknowledging her isn’t important..

  26. JER February 16, 2014

    Miss Patricia looking like a damn wax figure. Madame Tussauds REALNESS!!!! Put the makeup and powder down boo boo if you don’t know how to make it work. That’s all.

  27. AJ February 16, 2014

    Sam is a f*****. Looks like he takes d*** in his ass. Sad attempt at journalism.

  28. YourMineEternal Mariahs 19th #1 February 16, 2014

    I agree with the video mimi can be shady but its expected its who she is but i dont think she meant any harm when she said she hasnt heard #DrunkInLove she has said in many occasions she loves Beyonce!! NOW THE ARIANA GRANDE COMMENT WAS UMMMMMM YEAH #CLASSICMIMI

  29. gurlbye February 16, 2014

    Gurl bye! Mariah can be shady as hell but where’s all the shade in her recent press junket? She said she hasn’t heard Drunk In Love yet she has stated numerous times how much she loves Beyonce as a person and as an artist. Cut it out.

  30. GRUMP February 16, 2014

    The guy in this video is beyond ugly doe..

  31. TheOne February 16, 2014

    Lmao, how the heck does this queen think she can give MC some business advice
    When she owns her life. MC ain’t hurting hunty, but you evidently are so….

  32. Common Sense February 16, 2014

    Considering Mariah is still relevant despite being a legend from the 90s I’d say she’s doing fine. She may not be selling like the CURRENT poptarts, but she’s still doing far better than most of her peers and even many of the current generation.
    I’m sick and tired of people bitching about Mariah’s attitude. Every single thing said about her is almost ALWAYS a misquote or taken of out context. She DOES NOT take herself serious, so it’s hilarious that people refuse to see her as anything but a serious person and take everything she says at face value.
    People just WANT to hate Mariah for no reason.

  33. Judge judy stan February 17, 2014

    Who?

  34. Music Stan ( ya’ll know who I stan 4) February 17, 2014

    personally I don’t Mariah is shady at all, I think her along with other artists are getting tired of being ask what is their opinion on so and so…. sometimes that can be annoying especially when you are they trying to promote your OWN project… Mariah is a Living Legend and has prove herself( yes I’m not feeling this Mariah but I give credit where it is due) Mariah, Janet, Whitney, and all the legendary divas see the new generation and some are quite please with them just cause they don’t say their name doesn’t mean that they don’t see them… Mariah is at a point in her career where she feels she doesn’t have to answer the comparsion question and I understand cause she is Mariah and the others are them… Let’s just enjoy the music and be happy… Now everyone isn’t always going to sell like they use to… and this is fine but that doesn’t mean they are a flop or they time is up…. WHEN their first and second albums debuts in high chart postions and sells a certain amount of records worldwide and they recieved a platinum status on their albums they already have proven their point of their staying power… record labels are more concern with the debut and sophomore studio efforts cause it prove to them whether this artist is hot or not… once by their third and fourth album it is pretty much where the artist get all the creative control and etc… That is why it is call a sophomore jinx…. but many of our faves that we defend on here has proven thier staying power…. Mariah has diamonds records to her name so whether this album doesn’t do well or does she is always be good cause she has proven that she can stand with the best….
