My point is that it is not what she usually does. Especially now that she is totally into album concepts. Just pointing it out.
But now that you mention it, Mariah (or Bruno or Lana or Gaga if you want to name young artists) doesn´t really do features like this. She does a lot of things now that her career is totally out of the normal commercial run. But still, very rarely she has been featured in a song of a RELEVANT on charts artist to see if she can get a hit that way. The most successful artist she has done a collabo with in a decade must be Miguel, who is 20 times smaller than what Ed is on the charts. If Mariah were doing this type of features (Ed, Bruno, Abel, Knedrick, people who are currently very hot and respected) she would be definitely be getting the same shine as Beyonce or more. But she basically has he rown sound and style and does her albums by her own. She adds a lot of rappers if anything. But they are always irrelevant and they are the feautures, not the other way around. Xtina and Beyonce have been using this tactic way sooner than Mariah and Madonna :) I wish Mariah did some of these. She definitely deserves the shine.
