About Lee from USA: I love mimi

I agree, Mara (57,161) by Lee from USA She should get in on the first ballot. I mean, how many artists could say they have more number 1 hits than Elvis? How many artists could boast about topping the singles charts for 10 years straight and winning Song of the Decade twice? Her antics aren't half as bad as making porn, sleeping with kids, and abusing drugs (and significant others). Artists who've done worst had gotten in without any protest.

Bet Awards (54,983) by Lee from USA I understand that we as black folks need our own awards shows. My gripe is that Mariah is not really that embraced by BET or any other black media outlets. How come that Whitney won a BET Honor and a Lifetime Achievement Awards, but Mimi just got a Bet Honor? How's that fair? They treat her like a mistress: loved in private, but ignored in public. It took Mariah 15 years to grace the cover of Essence whereas Mary J Blige was on the cover at least twice a year. The black media doesn't stick up for Mimi when she is in trouble as much as they do for MJ, Janet or Whitney. Two radio show hosts got suspended for poking fun at Whitney, but when it comes to Mimi being ridiculed, there's is no outrage, suspensions or terminations. Where's Al Sharpton? The NAACP? Jesse Jackson? (Tuesday 30 June 2015; 17:20)

Lucia (54,971) by Lee from USA She won the best smile award. Mariah has done more in the last 7 years than Janet and Whitney. She resurrected her acting career and built her (and Nick's) empire up. If that is not much, then I don't know what is. The woman put two platinum-selling singles without help from a label. You said that BET would not associate with her when things are going tough, but they had no problem giving Whitney hardware while she was abusing drugs. (Monday 29 June 2015; 17:04)

BET Awards (54,963) by Lee from USA Guys, isn't it odd that Janet is getting an Ultimate Icon Award at the BET Awards, whereas our girl hasn't gotten anything at the Bet Awards? Janet haven't put a hit in nearly 15 years whereas Mimi put out more top 20 hits than her, Madge, Whitney, and Celine combined in the last 15 years. Hell, Mimi is the only black artist in history that ever scored more #1s than Elvis. The only time Janet has been relevant in this millennium is when her boob was exposed at the Super Bowl. This proves if Mimi's skin was darker, she would probably dominate the BET awards. (Monday 29 June 2015; 2:41)

Licia (54,050) by Lee from USA I know you and me (as black folks) won't be protesting if B get slammed. But when was the last time somebody had the courage to bash her on camera? Never. That's all about the backlash. If MCA was found by the Beyhive, do you think they would take kindly to some of us calling her overrated? I doubt it. (Tuesday 2 June 2015; 16:10)

I agree with Trox and Mimi for different reasons (54,011) by Lee from USA Beyoncé is overrated. But it is easy to be loved with Jay-Z as your husband and Al Sharpton and the NAACP in your back pocket. Everybody is scared to death of Jay-Z due to the fact he stabbed a dude and gotten off. Nobody wants to have Al Sharpton and a group of black folks picketing outside your business. Remember how TMZ called to Beyoncé as a "robo-ho"? Al almost blew a gasket, and yet he is never around when Mimi gets bashed. (Monday 1 June 2015; 18:30)

I am not worried (53,594) by Lee from USA If most of the major media outlets said that she did good enough, why should we care what some little radio show thinks? The moon never answers the dog when he howls at it. (Wednesday 20 May 2015; 18:32)

Hall of Fame / Cindi (51,563) by Lee from USA I do believe that if the Rock and Roll omits Mimi, it would prove that the committee is a bunch of hypocrites. How could they stand for excellence in music and yet induct artists who hasn't had hit songs in over 30 years? They may bring up her diva antics but her "antics" are nothing compared to marrying your 13 year old cousin, sleeping with your employees, making porn, and abusing drugs. And yet artists that done those things (and worse) got inducted anyway. How is Cindi considered a power publicist if she rarely has any other clients other than Mimi? (Saturday 11 April 2015; 0:47)

Tidal (51,261) by Lee from USA I am glad that Mimi doesn't ride Jay-Z's coattails to succeed. I mean, I remember when he was a nobody in the 1990s that probably begged to be on "Heartbreaker". Besides, he hasn't done much for her lately. Where was he and his wife when the media were (and still is) tearing her down? Why the f*ck should she waste her time making him look better at the expense of her own? Mimi has shined without Jay-Z for most of her career, and she shouldn't need his ass now. (Tuesday 31 March 2015; 22:32)

Enough (49,560) by Lee from USA This is absurd. Calling her out for these "cash grab" performances is plain stupid. Michael Jackson charged people in Japan thousands of dollars to just to see him. Yet his legacy is not destroyed. The fashion critics always make me laugh. These idiots are the first to pay $300-700 to see Madonna whip out a breast and dry hump her dancers, yet be the first to complain about Mimi showing the "puppies". If Mimi covers up, then Heidi Klum, Marilyn Milian, and Kimora Lee Simmons should not sunbathe topless anymore. How is it that there isn't anyone on this site from Jamaica nor have went to Jamaica critiquing this performance? (Sunday 1 February 2015; 18:18)

It's good to back on the site (49,150) by Lee from USA My computer broke down, and I haven't had the chance to post. It must be torture for Wendell Williams to see our girl on Ellen. (Tuesday 13 January 2015; 22:22)

The media's at it again (47,911) by Lee from USA I mean, why would Mimi waste her time talking about Kim K's butt and frontal pics? When they met each other, they seemed to hit it off. I guess that since people can't talk about her voice fading, then they have to fabricate a beef or quote involving Mimi. (Friday 14 November 2014; 17:40)

Man (47,450) by Lee from USA Hollywood Take needs do more research on Mimi's net worth. She is worth over $500 million. (Thursday 16 October 2014; 1:01)

Nathan (47,340) by Lee from USA So she should go to award shows that snubbed her for 20+ years to save her reputation? Many people did not like her when she was full throttle in promotion or when she sounded great anyways. Why the hell she should kiss their asses when their opinions wouldn't change either way? You pointed out the reasons why her voice deteriorated. If she used her vocals in an unusual way to get hit songs, then she did it for her fans, not for the critics. As far as her singing, I know Mimi will do the best thing for herself, not for anyone else. (Friday 10 October 2014; 19:10)

I agree with a lot of you (47,334) by Lee from USA You shouldn't believe everything some critic says. Michael Bay doesn't and his movies make billions. It should matter what the fans say. I would like to see footage of fans walking out instead of reading about it. For all we know, the critics could have walked out by themselves and said that fans walked out. On another topic, I saw the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees, and thought WTF? How the hell that MC is not for induction but artists who haven't had a hit in decades are ushered in? Easy-E, a dope dealer, could get in as a part of NWA. I'm sorry but I think that an artist that scored more #1s than Elvis and spent more weeks at #1 than the Beatles should be considered at least. People may refer to Mariah's antics but compared to other inductees that used (and sold) drugs, made porn, slept with teenagers, worshipped Satan, and mutilated animals, the woman is pretty much a nun. (Friday 10 October 2014; 15:07)

Funny (47,293) by Lee from USA I knew it. As soon as our girl rebounds, these vultures are nowhere to be seen. (Wednesday 8 October 2014; 19:15)

I would like to know about Yokohama (47,224) by Lee from USA I mean, people on this site said that she improved her voice in this concert. On Wendell, he/she is not an example of honesty. This drag queen said that Beyoncé had an abortion and Will Smith was gay. And Wendell never mentions anything when her favorite artists or celebs fall short. I don't see how no one talks about the show that she sounded great in yet ramble about the one that she misses the high notes. (Tuesday 7 October 2014; 0:44)

Sources, sources, sources (46,323) by Lee from USA I am not sure about this fiasco. I mean, getting our facts from TMZ or any other gossip site is like buying a pizza from a burger joint and expecting the staff to get it right. It is funny we never heard them say anything themselves, but we read quotes from TMZ, the same folks that didn't give a rat's ass about him when he was in the hospital 2 years ago. I need more proof than some vague quotes from her in-law and quotes from gossipmongers to make me worry. And what "loved one" is the website Hollywoodlife.com is talking about? If you love Mimi like that, you would not be talking about her private life to the tabloids. (Sunday 24 August 2014; 1:09)

About Nick (45,953) by Lee from USA Maybe all of the criticism about his career getting a boost via his marriage to Mimi finally got to him. I mean, what man wouldn't get sick of people saying that he married a woman for her fame and fortune? I still think that he still loves her, but he wants to prove that he could stay in the spotlight without her there. These projects could be about him sending a clear message that he could boss up without a big time diva backing him up. (Friday 8 August 2014; 23:31)

We shouldn't doubt Mimi and Nick (45,685) by Lee from USA I mean, what are we doing? We are giving the media what those selective vultures want. The press wanted to break up her marriage for the last 6 years because their darlings' love-lives has been in the toilet for so long. I don't know why that we are debating articles from gossip websites which had an ax to grind against Mimi for 20 years. If Nick was at home all of the time, then he would be a mooch. If the opposite was true, he would be considered as running from his family and creeping around. To me, Mimi is a target of an on-and off-again media witch hunt. (Wednesday 30 July 2014; 15:42)

Edward, Truth (45,485) by Lee from USA If Madonna was so relevant, then why hasn't she had a #1 hit on the Hot 100 since the late 1990s but had the number 1 grossing tour of 2012? It surely isn't the music that drawing her fans in. I thank the heavens that Mimi don't need to resort to that nonsense to make her legacy. But I agree with you that Mimi needs some new people around her to help preserve it. (Tuesday 22 July 2014; 0:53)

One question (45,360) by Lee from USA What would you all have said if Mimi went hard on the promotion and MIAM ended up selling up 40k anyways? If she sits on her ass, then she is lazy. If she goes ham, then she is seen as desperate and over-the-hill. It's kind of pointless to go hard on Mimi about her album sales when virtually everyone else is doing worse. (Sunday 13 July 2014; 1:48)

Thank you, Anthony (45,162) by Lee from USA I agree with you. The media will always find a way to hate on her when she fails or succeeds. Did the author of the last article actually did any research or made it up? The author did not read any reviews of MIAM from Donatella Versace, Timbaland, and George Michael, or watched the TeeNick Top 10 Countdown. (Monday 30 June 2014; 2:02)

Elena (45,149) by Lee from USA I don't know if this article is true. I mean, why is only one website reporting this and no other website is talking about this video. If it is true, then it is pointless to bash Mariah after five years of following her game plan somewhat poorly. If not, the article is not good enough to wrap fish in. (Saturday 28 June 2014; 21:48)

Thanks, Bill (45,121) by Lee from USA I was making the point if other artists are doing worse than Mimi was, we can't be losing our minds about a damn photo. I just stated the obvious, and if you are going to get mad at me for doing so, then you all should get mad at the Reelz Channel for putting their business out there. Lately, she has been talking about her kids and she put the album together. Every time she is in a magazine, they list her accolades. In other news, did Nick actually said that stuff or did the media made it up like they did with the MJ fiasco. (Thursday 26 June 2014; 21:56)
