Sure Mariah’s career isn’t like in the 90s. But look at how many of her peers from that decade are still around and active...
Jeez, younger artists don’t even manage to stay relevant for more than 5 years or so.
Nobody can take away her accomplishments nor her talent. And don’t forget she wrote/co-wrote 18 of those 19 #1s.
Sure it’s easy to criticize but once you accomplish even a quarter of what she’s done, maybe you can start talking.

As far as I’m concerned, I wish she had never created that diva persona because it totally killed her career. Especially on a international scale, on top of the fact her sounds became more urban. Which I don’t mind on that part.
I also which she wouldn’t overproduce her vocals on every song and sometimes just sing for real with one layer and a few adlibs.
