Ava Max is speaking out.
Since her smash-hit ‘Sweet But Psycho’ ruled the charts in 2018, she has drawn comparisons to one of pop’s most prolific artists, Lady Gaga. However, in a new interview with SiriusXM Volume, she thought that she would draw comparisons to music legend Mariah Carey instead.
Her words below…
“They only compare women first of all, but I get it. The blonde hair, the pop music, the theatrics, we are both 5’2. I could go on and on. I get it. She is incredible, so it is an honor.”
“Never in a million years would I thought they would compare me to Lady Gaga and then it just started all of a sudden, I was like ‘that’s so cool,’ I thought it was gonna be like, Mariah Carey.”
Max explained that she believed she would be compared to Carey because of the high-note that she hit at the end of ‘Sweet But Psycho.’ However, she feels that was not the comparison people drew and focused on her looks instead.
“They look at women with the look. They don’t hear what you sound like. They see your look, which is not cool. Stop comparing women’s looks.”

I don’t know her. Swear I’ve never even heard of this person..
Then you’re living a sad, pathetic life
Wow! EV, You deff belong to Stone Age. Now back to woods, cave man💅🏿
I don’t get the MARIAH comparison. That was totally out of left field.
Uuuhhh maybe you had a better shot at being compared to MOriah from Baldwin Hills but not 19 #1 singles MAriah. No, nah, girl uh uh.
There is a difference between hitting a note and asking it for permission to approach. You did the latter.
it’s the “you did the latter for me”!!!! #AyCant
Ava MaxiPad is out of her mind.
She sounds nothing like Mariah, vocally or musically.
But she is Karaoke Gaga. Imagine one of those animated Barbie movies with a Barbie version of Gaga. That’s her music.
Mariah Carey??? Girl more like Gwen stefani
Wow! Finally there’s a post about Ava Max 💅🏿💅🏿 I thought y’all pay her to dust coz she’s a white gurl. Anyways her album heaven & hell is full of pops🤳🏿🤳🏿🤳🏿
Girl come on… it’s cool that you dig Mariah but it’s not just about the looks, Sweet But Psycho sounds like early Gaga and she’s even singing in the quirky delivery Gaga would do during The Fame.
I don’t know her (Mariah voice)
Delusional, convince yourself – Jinx Monsoon
LMAO MARIAH?! HOW?! 😂🤣 oh boy, that made my day.
😂 Delusional
Can we stop with « they only compare women » ?! That’s OLD and not right.
Can we talk how about women get away with certain behaviors while men would get cancelled in a heartbeat ?!

I get that men always had it better but it doesn’t mean double standards against guys don’t exist.
And compared to Mariah ?! When and how ? She’s delusional. Nothing against her, I wish her the best, but I don’t see no MC there.
She puts all her effort into looking like Lady Gaga, or at least layering on tons of make up and wearing revealing clothing, then complains when people discuss her looks. What a fool.
