Quote of the Day: Miley Cyrus v. Mariah Carey

miley-cyrus-elle-magazine

“I’ve never really been a fan, because it’s so much about Mariah Carey. That’s part of her shtick; I can see through that. It’s about what she’s wearing, and it’s about her. What I make isn’t about me. It’s about sharing my story; it’s about someone being connected to what I’m saying.” Miley Cyrus on Mariah Carey during an interview with Elle Magazine where she once again proved that she’s most interesting when critiquing other artists.

Mariah’s World Trailer — WATCH NOW

Is it wise for Mariah Carey to take fans inside her world, especially when that world is rife with diva demands, an abnormally large staff, and a leotard while sprawled across pillows? Perhaps the trailer below is a soft representation of a more down-to-earth woman that we’ll see when the show airs, but I certainly cannot help but wonder if this is a terrible move. At least she gives you a glimpse of her controversial new rep, who’s to blame for this “docu-series.”

Mariah Carey Addresses Jennifer Lopez Feud With Andy Cohen

MARIAH_CAREY

 

Andy Cohen has cornered the market on fun interviews, and he officially wins the award for best talk show host after having asked both Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez for their individual takes on what’s become a hilarious feud. For those that are not aware, Carey made headlines when asked about Lopez, who she passively aggressively dismissed by saying she “did not know her.” Though Carey brushed off the reaction while talking to Cohen, the real truth is there is in fact a feud and it’s based on a complicated history between the dueling divas. Having said that, her response is very funny and worth a watch.

Mariah Carey v. Jennifer Lopez: Timeline of a Feud

JLO MARIAH

Despite my consistent digs at Mariah Carey, I’m a longtime fan, and I remember the original Mariah as a down-to-earth girl from New York that was in over her head in an unhealthy marriage, which simultaneously shackled her creativity. As soon as it ended, her real personality came through, and she became ever-the-more likable. Then . . . something changed. My guess is that the superstar could not adjust to the changing tide of social media, and she might also have thin skin. Her fashion choices stayed stagnant in over-the-top, glamorous gowns and her attempt to brush-off controversial questions resulted in an out-of-touch hand waves with excessive “Dah-Lings.” And for some time, that was Jennifer Lopez’s problem too. Anyone who has been in this business for over a decade is well aware of the drama that surrounded Lopez’s original team and their untouchable diva demands, which were often unknown by Lopez herself. She admits to making serious adjustments, and the impressive about-face was shockingly effective. After all, if her career can survive that Bennifer debacle, it can survive just about anything. So why did Lopez change and Mariah didn’t? Again, my guess is she cannot accept criticism, and in a recent on-the-street interview, she once again took aim at Lopez. As it turns out, Mariah might have reason to resent Lopez, but you’d never know it from her limited explanations, and as far as the public’s concerned, she just seems mean spirited. Here’s a timeline of their feud, and the reasons behind it.

2001: Jennifer Lopez allegedly stole Mariah Carey’s idea to sample Yellow Magic Orchestra’s “Firecracker” for JLO’s hit song “I’m Real.” Mariah had planned to use the song for “Loverboy,” but Lopez beat her to the punch. Rumor has it Carey’s ex-husband Tommy Mottola got wind of Mariah’s plan and orchestrated the theft for Lopez, who was his artist at the time.

 

2002: When asked about the stolen sample, Mariah said, “Let’s just say they did me a favor. And they know who they are. And thank you, sweetie. And your friend who did it with you!” Sources suggest that the “sweetie” in question is Jennifer Lopez, and the shady business gave Carey leverage to make an early exit from her Sony contract, which resulted in a huge new contract with EMI/Virgin.

2008: In an interview with a German television show, Mariah sang the praises of Beyonce, but when asked about Jennifer, she infamously said, “I don’t know her.”

2015: Mariah explains she was “just being honest,” and really doesn’t know Jennifer Lopez

2016: Mariah “Still doesn’t know Jennifer Lopez”

2016: Jennifer Lopez visits Watch What Happens Live and won’t take Andy Cohen’s bait. She continued to deny any ill-feelings toward Mariah.

Mariah Carey’s New ‘Infinity’ Video: Tit’s Out, High Notes Abound

The tits-out, glitter-fested image is tired, and instead of replacing her idea-men in favor of a fresh, younger focus, Mariah Carey will continue the untouchable diva routine into eternity. And while the melody is mildly satisfying, ‘Infinity’ won’t chart the way a Carey single should.

As a devoted Mariah Carey fan through every phase of her career, my advice is a serious PR, management overhaul with insiders accustomed to the music industry’s new model. Carey recently denounced ‘American Idol,’ in a funny move bringing her closer to a more authentic image, but that’s just the start, and her new video takes many steps back. Joining Match.com inside your new release is an embarrassing, dated move. Couldn’t she at least join Hinge? If you’re going to insert a bad idea, at least make it current. Watch the ‘Infinity’ video below.
