About Nikki from usa:

Opulence vs. extravagance (59,437) by Nikki from usa It was funny when MC and Nick broke up how Wendy was claiming Mariah was old and no one would want her. Then, she broke the news of her dating Packer and claimed Packer was using her for fame. She said MC was "fragile" and hoped she didn't fall in love because James is a playboy and not interested in the long term. They get engaged and Wendy won't even report it. Mariah's concerts and tours have always been bare-boned. It's always centered around her voice with limited bells and whistles. It would be nice if MC would up her game in the visual areas for a show's entertainment quality, but I wouldn't hold my breath. It took Celine 3 years before critics agreed the show no longer overshadowed her singing. Either you sing live with magnificent vocals or you rely on performance. Take a look at J.Lo hosting the AMA's and MC's dress at the Billboard Awards. She threw shade at Mariah's residency with her Spears comment too and now she's naming her own after the music video that had LL Cool J throwing a butterfly into a fire. J.Lo's first attempt at a residency was rejected for asking too much money. The fact is her only world tour didn't sell well. She held a concert with 25,000 free tickets in her home town and less than half showed up. They thought she was fake and a sell out. She's going to Vegas to cash in on tourists which is her best bet. I wouldn't worry about it. (Saturday 30 January 2016; 5:52)

Loverboy unremembered (59,218) by Nikki from usa Kay, we got to get a few things straight with this track. Mariah received the Most Requested Song of the year award for Loverboy from Radio Music Hall. The track was the most requested song of the year in the US. It was the best selling track of the year. Loverboy was never discounted. The original sold for 99 cents due to the fact Mariah's maxi single had 13 tracks and sold for a whopping $13 a pop. It was nearly the price of an actual album which is why the original and its remix was sold for so cheap. The maxi and original were released the same day as the Bootylicious original and their $8 maxi single. They, too, sold their track for 99 cents debuting on the same day Mariah's did. Mariah still outsold them 2/1 and every other single of 2001. I'm Real flopped real quickly which was the whole reason why Mariah's If We concept along with Ja Rule were stolen to get a #1 track. Things look a bit weird when every journalist is omitting an expensive maxi single from existing or the fact her competition is selling singles the same day with the same deals. However, the fact Wendy Williams admitted she was offered payment for trash talking makes things a bit clear. Mark my words, if Mottola were still ruling Sony in 2005, Mariah would've never been emancipated either. (Thursday 21 January 2016; 2:00)
