Why is Mariah Carey on the cover of everything?
In my celebrity gossip perusal, I read that Mariah Carey was so upset at having lost out to U2 at the Grammys, that she remained in her dressing room for a time, to pout and rant. At the end of it all, she walked away with (3) of those coveted awards, and I'm sure a goodie bag that was worth three times the salaries of most people I know.
I've had the unfortunate opportunity to listen to her album, The Emancipation of Mimi, and I must say that I was left unimpressed. Sure, the lady has a set of pipes (though said pipes seemed a little rusty on the awards' show). But I just feel that Mariah's talent has been grossly misdirected over the years. I'm not sure exactly how much control she has over the producers and artists that she works with. But it seems to me that in spite of her platinum comeback, she is desperately struggling to maintain an image that doesn't quite jive with the talents that she was blessed with. The Emancipation of Mimi is simply a series of popcorn beats with her vocals stuffed in between-- hardly Grammy-worthy material. Yet, she's gracing the covers of just about every rag--with titles claiming to divulge her deepest and darkest secrets. Sadly enough, there is nothing about Mariah Carey that I find deep or dark.
~yet another weary sigh~

Love Mariah Carey,...
Loved that album, loved seeing her in concert back in September, love her voice, and if she came to my door and told me she needed me then and there I'd tell my wife I was leaving but I'd be back later to tell her what happened.
Oooh, our Catfish! More leverage, more leverage!
I think I'll be printing this conversation! Heeheehee! >:)
You can print it, IOAW,...
but you should know that I told her that also, and she said she fully understood. So there!
Blast it, our Catfish!
Is there no leeway with you? Not that I am admitting defeat. It is just that...well, you are certainly a challenging opponent. (Pout, sulking)
I will not be repeatedly disgraced forever, our Catfish. One fine day, I shall get my leverage. Yes! I may be an old hag by the time I do, but I shall triumph, after all. Just you wait and see! >:D
Unfortunately, by that time, IOAW,...
I may not be around; we're talking your "hag" days. Then again, I think I need to stay around a long time just to see those days.
See, the problem you keep running into with me is that I almost always tell my wife everything that's going on in my life. I may not tell her the same day, but within a couple of days I'll tell her, because usually something funny has come from it.
So, you'll never find anything to tell her about; heck, I told her about you, right? lol
I suppose so, our Catfish!
Then I will just have to leave your wife out of it. Instead of seeking for something to tattle about, I shall find some other plan to outsmart you.
And just why would you want to see my "hag" days, our Catfish? What interest could you have in the hour I shrivel like a prune? >:o
Because, IOAW,...
I know that I'm always going to look like I do now, if I have to color my hair and go to a plastic surgeon (I stay in the house, though, so no sun damage on me), but someone as pretty as you are now can only go the other direction, though I pity that for you. :-P
Then again, Lena Horne still looks good, so maybe there's a chance.
Ugh! Fie, our Catfish, to predict my demise!
Well youth runs in my family, so I can only hope that my shrivelling days are a long ways off!
And if not, I'll simply drown my sorrows in ice cream. Hope you'll still want me to visit when I'm old and ugly ;)!
Who said,...
you'd be old and ugly? Oh yeah, you said hag. :-)
