The world tough on her? You mean haters like you??? LMAO It´s hilarious having to read some articles by Sam.

Anyway, Mariah, reigning in a period when every single big name and talented artist was out. Ariana Grande, Rihanna, Taylor Swift and all this crap are absolute jokes. Mariah still outsinging them in 2016 and being a better artist overall than them.
Mariah is truly the last one of her breed. Monstrous and blockbuster are perfect words to describe what some Mariah or some other true greats eras and albums were. Only Adele can compare to that in that front.
About the album itself: I´m tempted to consider it her very best ever. Too much greatness musically and too much unique vocal style. True legend.
