In reply to JOHNVIDAL.

Her previous team basically consisted of long time friends and assistants. I'm sure she still loves them but this is BUSINESS.., if the friendships are real then they can still hang out, they just don't need to get paid for the privilege. Mimi hates change but she recognises that the fans of Mariah Carey™ buy into the story of rags to riches success, self belief and talent triumphing over obstacles. She'd have to be delusional not to see the many mishaps over the last few years have changed the story somewhat into 'Hit and Miss Diva who can't sing anymore' but she seems to have finally looked in the mirror and been honest with herself.., as a Lamb I'm super happy because no one likes to see their fave bloated, tired and out of shape vocally, least of all an artist as gifted as Mariah. The changes are paying dividends.
