Sam always contradicts himself with Mariah. He can very well call her legendary and say her projects are still anticipated despite her age and some other times mock her and say "rip her voice" and stupid things like that.

Anyway, I´ve been waiting for Mariah to embrace new sounds for a long while. I don´t mind if she stays true to herself and keeps releasing the same type of music, she delivers anyway. But a big change would be great and the songs needed to connect with the masses and critics today would be very easy to sing live for her ("Royals" and those type of songs for example).
