Diva supreme Mariah Carey has carved out a career that has shaped the success narratives of many of today’s top starlets. However, it appears (despite being being their inspiration), the 43-year-old isn’t averse to appreciating their output too.
During a press stop at iHeartRadio‘s Saturday Night Online to promote new single ‘You’re Mine (Eternal)’, the mother-of-two revealed that she is a fan of one of today’s top talents, Beyonce. A declaration that comes a week after she told The Breakfast Club she “hadn’t heard” the megastar’s latest chart-topper ‘Drunk In Love’.
The vocalist, whose new album arrives on May 6th via Island Def Jam, also revealed that she is also a fan of Instagram’s own Rihanna.
Check out the interview after the jump…
Sweet.
Putting the forest of shade Mimi often throws to one side, it’s clear she does have an appreciation for fellow divas rocking the industry at the moment. We just hope she’s paying attention to what’s making their ships sail to the top of the charts, as she’s clearly in need of a revised approach to promo.
Currently sitting outside of iTunes US’ top 400, ‘You’re Mine’ continues to tumble by the day. Sad, as it’s the most solid cut Ms. Carey-Cannon has served up in years.
We have an idea about Mimi could do to reconnect to the masses, what do you think she could do to actually compete with the Bey’s and Riri’s of the world?

I can never understand you stans who get happy over your faves liking each other.
You don’t know Beyonce, she doesn’t know you. I love Beyonce as an artist, but i don’t care who she personally likes/dislikes.
.
Um…ok. I see what you tried to do there Sam. Please just focus on artist’s music. Everything else is irrelevant.
BEYONCE*** HEARD*** Anyways good luck To Mariah she has nothing to prove regardless if her albums flop she already has the the hits and the sales our faves will kill for…nonetheless i feel she needs a wardrobe and attitude change….The Mariah from the 90’s was Tommy motolas work and not hers she made a very clear statement in her symbolic and iconic music video HONEY in the scene in the pool when shes shredding her old image that the early mariah wasn’t her but her image has overshadow her music nowadays
Well Sam was nice to Mariah in this article,I’ll give him that.
Sam you’re really trying it!!!
Well, its your blog, so whatever. This blog used to be the business in the old days, now its a shadow of its former self.
Where are the REAL news? Why is every second post a bait for stan-wars? Sam, you need to sit down and RE-EVALUATE your blog and the direction u want to take it!
I’m out
Messy blog
Well Samantha didn’t shade Mariah this time,I’ll give him that
“fan of Instagram’s own Rihanna” was that needed tho? sometimes i wonder if Sam can go through a day without shading an artist
the constant shade Sam throws at artists makes this blog less credible by the day. no wonder he has to resort to baiting for stan wars to get hits now
Damage control. She’s obviously caught wind of what people have been saying about her.
Sam throws more shade than a cloudy day
You say you hate the blog but read it every damn day. If you don’t like it then leave. That’s the best way to hurt them. Don’t come on and say you don’t like it, because that’s how they make their money.
2 Girls 1 Cup is the same person posting as different people.
Really? How can this blog be even taken seriously? One day it’s bashing Mariah because she said she hadn’t heard the song of Beyonce’s? Who cares? So What she hadn’t heard it? Some people’s life does not revolve around her, unlike this blog. The other day, this blog is praising Mariah for liking Beyonce. Come on. This blog is all about Beyonce. I am not a hater, nor a stan. But if I want to do my reasearch on Beyonce, I can do it on my own, without this blog’s forcing of that girl.
Mariah is trying hard to stay relevant. 🙁
This blog is so petty. Let join Paws Down Little Monsters….
😆
I have an idea, if you don’t TGJ why don’t we all leave together right now! Oh you won’t? Ok then, shut the f*** up because nobody forced you to click on the link and read it.
Smh….Sam is so unprofessional and pitiful. But it’s his blog so he’ll do what he wants. No matter how immature or low.
and you know how? what other person im i according to you? lol funny stuff
Exactly what I am going to do, thanks for the suggestion. It won’t make a difference, but in the future it might. Send me an e-mail Sam, when you have reconsidered your blog strategy.
Okay. First of all Mariah Carey has nothing more to prove. She is a legend now and forever. With that being said Mariah Carey does not need to compete with the Rihanna’s and Beyonce’s because she is a legend past her prime. While the other 2 are icons entering into their prime. If this album of Mariahs flops it does absolutely nothing for it, it doesn’t detract from records set and sold it just adds on to her total. An also let’s not act like Mariah Carey is the only old school artist who isn’t that commercially successful today. There is no one from back in the day that is slaying so I think people are unfair n making it seem as if its a Mariah issue, well boo its. Now is the time of the Rihannas, gaga’s, perrys, miley n dare I say it Beyonce of the worlds. And another thing this one is specially dedicated to lovebird and molly, it is clear that you get your life from beyonce as yall are always the first to comment on a beyonce post, yall post the most comments on a beyonce post and even when its not a beyonce related post somehow yall mention her name. Obsessed much as much as u may dislike her u can’t deny that she got yall seriously pressed and keeps u checking her out. Its ridiculous. And to everyone else these stan wars are ridicoulous. Read the damn article and make a constructive comment. Stop commenting as young school girls on their periods geez with names such flopriah, rhiflop, s***, beywance … They so old n tired. N yall stop dragging Ciara she’s awesome. Peace.
@cicistanfinnabegrowtchy
Like Sam we have the right to say what we want. There is a comment section below every post. Am I wrong?
LMFAOOO DEAD AT SAME ONCE AGAIN DELETING MY COMMENT!! SO I GUESS NOW IM NOT ALLOWED TO EXPRESS MY OPINION SAD
As long as no stories about Gaga, Im good. I hate blogs that promoting Gaga while everyone knows…Gaga is a done deal.
Kudos to TGJ…..!!!!!
SAM*
Grandariah needs to do that because she is loosing fanbase. Thats why…
I think the reason a lot of people complains about this blog is because, Sams shades a lot of people who works their azzes off to get where they are
and praises those basic broad who steals, lies, and praises them for doing something that has been done before..
for example he will praise Kelly Rowland for selling 85k but bash Mariah, Britney, rihanna for selling 200k
.

And lana del slay said all too well. If u don’t like this site then don’t fucken come to this site if an artist pisses u off n u can’t care for them then why are u reading their articles why “torture” urselves like that. Its like me continuously shooting myself in the leg even though I know its painful. Do yourselves a favour, n I’m genuine about it before yall become demented with all this hatred. Don’t click on those articles, over come temptation and move on.
Peace.
It’s so silly how you TGJ got upset at her just Because she said she hadn’t heard Drunk In Love when in the same breath she said “I Love Beyonce”. This is a women that worked ALL through Christmas as she always does promoting her Chrstimas album for 24 days non stop, then goes to do her annual family Holiday in Aspen, then has to come back and finish her new album and prepare a marketing plan and shoot a video for her current single plus be a mother to 2 Kids and a wife, in what time on earth does she have to listen to anyone else’s music?
Plenty of artist don’t get a chance to listen to each other whilst working, there work load is to heavy, you guys went a I Hate Mariah Campaign just cos she hadn’t heard a damn song, it’s just pathetic!
@ratedxxx
Thats another reason. Bad enough anyone who doesn’t stan for beyonce but for a different artist is constantly getting shade thrown at their fave. Not to mention Sam just sits and writes pointless bitter filled posts all day long. Hating on hard working entertainers and promotes flop, basic nobodies (cough cough rita). Plus the artists he’s throwing shade to works MUCH more than he’ll probably ever will.
@RatedXXX Stop trying to always starts s*** you immature b****. Smh your no better than Sam,always shading people in your comments no matter HOW unnecessary.
They get paid every time you refresh the page to leave a comment, so keep commenting.
It’s so funny to me that the Lambs expect everyone to play nice but think it’s funny when Mariah shades people. Do you think Nicki or Ariana was happy when she shaded them on the Breakfast club?
And lana del slay said all too well.

Ciara and Lana are awesome BTW
Peace.
this blog was really good but ever since “BEYONCE” the album came out the blog has gone down hill shading every other artist and its true i dont see on story without sam shading rihanna or mariah theyre great artist on there own right…its more than obvious that mariah is not as popular and beyonce is on top we get it but this blog has become too biased i hope it gets fix and goes back the way it used to be….this blog its becoming no different than perez hilton when he shaded the hell out of christina “BIONIC” for lady gaga and now he hates her so yea…dont make this blog like perez hilton.
now and days it’s all about the stan wars…fugg talent, it’s all about let me attack this person because he/she hates my favs…
stans wars are becoming so pathetic hence why whenever I post a comment I don’t even bother to see who responds…
you have these stans who are so delusional and mental that their whole life revolves around defending basic brood who doesn’t even give two shizz about them
sometimes I love to fugg with them…they make it to darn easy

Thank God for my grammar.
I’m reading these comments and I have to laugh. This website is damn near almost 10 years old and you b****** think it’s been around so long because it shades people? Girl stop, even I can admit that Sam is a good writer and aside from the shade they all throw this site is professional.
I just left a website I didn’t like because they were trying hard to be like TGJ so my advice to you is this. If you hate this place so much JUST LEAVE.
If you can’t see how this works by now you are simple. Last week I decided to see how many comments they get per day and it came to over 1,000. If you don’t believe me just add up the number of comments they get on every post at the end of each day and you will see what I mean.
If the only reason they get traffic is because they shade wouldn’t we all have our own web pages too. Take my advice, if you don’t like what see, be on your merry way and THEN they’ll be forced to change, because I’ve heard from multiple people that they get 70,000 clicks per day so if you wanna make a change stop clicking.
Why do I have a feeling all the people saying “just leave the site” work for TGJ? Getting a little to defensive there Hun.
JEDK, why would they tell people to leave their site? You think they want to lose money?
Sam shade no one Just reporting the the news as it is as Mm she hate on young aitist she did that to jlo nick m and bey I have no live for her thanks Sam for posting
LOL
MADAMEBEY, wouldn’t they have already left? Why would someone change their mind over what some other user thinks? Plus TGJ is known for being sneaky and sketchy.
Ok…and?
Lets be real. We’re aware Mimi n Bey are friends. I’m sure she thinks Rihanna is interesting as most people do. But…eh. Mariah maybe you should refrain from speaking on others and just deliver good music.
And this is not shade but…what’s up with Mariahs face lately? She looks different from even being on American idol to now…she’s giving me drag queen Neanderthal in the face In that picture anyway …totally not shade I just don’t agree with her facial weirdness
and as for the people saying leave the site so you’re basically saying people don’t have the right to there opinion clearly at the end of every story they ask for “YOUR THOUGHTS?” on the matter obviously the immature 3rd graders would start a “STAN WAR” but other people leave there feedback and constructive criticism to help the site become better where they take it into consideration that’s up to them..nonetheless i seen worse website my whole point of my first comment (before it got deleted) was there’s no need on shading an artist every time they write a story only because of a certain comment they said…
Aww, next week she’ll love Ariana too! Damage control week (thanks to manager Jermaine).
Nothing new, she said this time and time again.
SOme of yall LITERALLY RETARDED and stupid!!
So gullible, so easy to manipulate
Dear Samanthah! Please keep in mind one thing: the positioning of your blog is in a much worse situation than Mariah’s current chart positions. Simply keep on digging you own grave, some J-listed blog owner. xoxo
If you don’t like the way the blog shade and stan for certain artists why your presses asses continue to come here thats what i wanna know. Time is not that precious to some of you huh?
Pressed
it’s called good blogging skills!!!!
tgj knows how to write up story’s to make u fans bitter against each other! every blog site has their own favs & ones they cant stand, and its clear, with no sugarcoating!
they do a shady great job tho with updates!!!!
The blog will continue to shade, its their perogative. I love TGJ for their shady asses. Not every blog is PC. But if it was about my fav, I wouldn’t continue to come and give a site hits i am always complaining about and don’t enjoy reading. What is the logic. If you don’t like it, go elsewhere because you should have learned by now they aint gonna change. So there is no point crying and getting worked up over it.
Sam shade no one is a good writer report what is writernand sight is the best I have bean to many sight this is the only sight I come to every day to get my news that say a lot of Sam a good writer as for Mm every know she have hate for young artist she hate on halo nick m and bey thanks Sam for posting
Congrats to Beyoncé on her NAACP award!
As I sit back and read all the comments I will say this Sam and all of you threw shade at everyone… When he post an article about a new artist I see the “who” shade… When it is someone mainstream I see the theifonce hagriah citranny and etc so stop acting like y’all are sooooo freakin offended by why Sam does cause y’all do it in the comments like Someone say earlie before if u don’t like some why torture yourself by viewing
They finally break her. on the other Hand mimi will do anything to help her record sales.
Mariah is old news nobody cares about her anymore lol we’ll you could have fooled me in fact Mariah should be getting a check for how much attention this blog gets and Sam beyonce is not God she don’t even know you all day every day you write articles about her and not onces had she giving you a interview your a lame and local you enjoy to see bloggers fight it’s sick while you hide behind your computer lol and do you know who you work for get a real job and stop being so hateful
Wow, now she’s trying to kiss up to Yonce & Rhi for support for that flop single. Girl Bye!
Who?
Sam, posted it!
I sent the link to Sam on Twitter telling him Mariah Carey did a nice interview talkin about Rih & Bey & he posted about it.
Thank You Sam. You could’ve given me a shout out tho..
Bey just doesn´t give 0 f**** about flopriah sorry
and Sam is pressed with flopriah damn
As if this is news? Mariah and Beyonce have been friends since what, 2002-03? And there’s various interviews where Mariah has stated she’s a fan of both Beyonce and Rihanna throughout the years. She’s always answered as such when people asked her.
@Ariana’s Grand Mariah never shaded Ariana. Stop being an oversensitive little girl. What Mariah said was that she didn’t want Ariana to be the “new Mariah” while she the “old Mariah” because she doesn’t consider herself old.
As always people are just desperate to hate on Mariah. As for giving a site hits, I’ll take off my ad/script blocker the day Sam decides to make this a professional blog without biases.
Sam is only shading others because Beyoncé has an album out now and can go in full force on the others because of it’s current accomplishments. Also a lot of us(myself included) would shade, drag or just insult Beyoncé on the regular and called her flop so would you honestly be surprised if Sam would repay us back with Mariah, gaga, and Rihanna shade? I was wrong about Beyoncé and she finally did something a little different at least album wise. So I commend her on that, though it doesn’t take away that most of her Stan’s are really pressed..
All we could do is just Give credit where it’s due and just move on, Sams opinion is just that… An opinion, so let him have it.
Why do rihanna fans get so upset when sam says stuff like “model with a mic” “instagram singer” does she not live on instagram??????? she did a f****** GQ photoshoot based on the selfies she takes, f**** sake not everyone is gonna kiss her ass bc she has some #1 singles.. FOH ITS SO ANNOYING! & I’M TIRED OF PPL GROUPING RIHANNA AND BEYONCE THEY ARE NOT ON THE SAME LEVEL!!!
Girl listen Mariah is a LEGEND, she nor any other Legend has anything else to prove. They did thier time and open the doors for your very own fave to be able.
I like Ariana Grande but at the same time I feel as though shes a 2.0 or a clone Mariah. What she stated may have been heard as shade but also true. I mean so many singers have been labeled loosely as THE NEW MARIAH (Christina Aguilera, Leona Lewis, JoJo, Tamia Hill ect) but WHERE THE F*** ARE THEY NOW??. Mind you they all had better campaigns and debuts than Ariana’s Yours Truly. Fact is Ariana’s The Way, Baby I, and Right Here sound like Mariah’ reject tracks of the 90s. Where Mariah’s had hits off her first debut and Vision of Love, Love Takes Time, Someday are CLASSICS while Yours Truly isn’t remembered for years to come.
When Mariahs album flops i wounder if some of the uneducated idiots on here will try to blame Sam?
I want everyone to remember that all these artists today are trying to get where Mariah and countless of other “legendary flops” have been so continue on shading them and saying they are going to flop because at the end of the day Mariah has over 200 million records sold while your fave has only 75+ And mine 100+, so keep the b*******. Both Beyoncé and Rihanna know where they stand compared to Mariah Carey. That’s just the truth, both of them are lessers in album sales, in song writing and respect/impact. I dislike delusional stans and trolls… They are not living in reality
Mariah is wildly popular.. She earns standing ovations everywhere.. Her single was out for one damn wk folks.. Relax.. She is in her own league. She’s accomplished far more than both Rihanna & Beyonce.. They are no competition for her.. Also Sam y does what people say about Beyonce bother u so much? U aren’t her.. U be in your feelings hard..
I detected a little shade. I DID. “…and is having success” LOL you know Mimi loves and hates a successful b****. It’s like be successful but don’t be TOO successful and snatch my wigs. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I love you Mariah
Dead @ “Instagrams own” LMAO this TGJ shade. I can’t.
I love her speaking voice! True legend.
The fact that Sam wants Mariah to compete with Beyonce and rihanna shows how much power and revelancy this woman has over the younger generation. Go MIMI!! And don’t worry may 6 he will be checking for her album like always #noworries
I swear some of you all STAY throwing shade at King Bey. I am very aware that Bey gets lots of love from this particular blog but damn…can a B**** be LIKED? Rusell Simmons posts things about her daily and sometimes hourly and I see the same lame ass complaints and you all are wearing that ‘Beyawnce’ s*** out. She can’t be that much of a bore because if that’s the case she’d have long been forgotten like the other girls who can’t even BUY a hit record. LOL.
