Mariah´s voice is so damn special even nowadays! Yes it was lipped (at least for the most part) but it´s her current voice and sounded amazing. How the hell did Sam have the nerve to write some advice for Mariah carey... AGAIN????? Like I said a couple of days ago: why doesn´t he do it for Janet Jackson? Cause Lord knows she´s in a way more complicated position than Mariah, if she has any position at all (commercially I mean). Let alone all the other artists who dominated charts when Mariah debuted (95% of them are nowhere to be seen), or let alone all the flops Sam stans for, but never writes essays about them. It´s truly pathetic! Mariah´s album is great btw!
