^^But if people keep comparing someone to Mariah, isn't that good? I mean, it's a testament of her relevancy and influence. I mean, she could've said that she's tired of people being compared to her throughout these years - and she did - but since Christina Aguilera/Jessica Simpson, we haven't had many comparisons of that nature. If someone's labeled as the next Mariah, that's something really respectful. If Mariah is known for giving love and positivity, she "should" sound less bothered and give positive feedback to anyone with talent (whether the artist is compared to her or not).

And Mama, have you seen/heard Leona's interviews? She's very humble and shy (pretty much like Mariah was back in the day), so it's not that hard to be scared next time she sees Mariah image. I mean, Mariah was once compared to Whitney and that was a huge compliment (that worked for her image).

Yeah, but if that simple comment Mariah made terrifies Leona, then she (Leona) is in the wrong business. It wasn't even really a direct comment ABOUT Leona, so I still don't see the issue. I rather the comment Mariah made, than for her to automatically say, "I love Leona. Yada, yada....," just to sound politically correct. She didn't persoanlly attack Leona or say anything bad about her.

And, I think the annoyance is not comparing people to Mariah, but saying so and so is the next Mariah Carey. Next Mariah Carey in what way?

If you ain't never been to the ghetto, don't ever come to the ghetto....'Cause, you wouldn't understand the ghetto. So, stay the F*ck out of the ghetto.
