wohhaaaaaa, I said the exact same thing yesterday to Danny!! Danny, tell them!!!! I'll repeat:

Mariah can't be expected to just shower any of the newcoming female singer who is compared to her with love. It's not because she's catty or because she's intimidated. Just imagine what she must feel like, having been in the business for almost 20 years, having written all of her songs (and barely getting recognized for it), having won less Grammys than newbies like Beyonce, Alicia Keys and Norah Jones. And now she's getting people comparing Leona to her all the damn time? It's annoying. Leona could be an amazing singer, but she has a LONG way to go before she can be called "the next Mariah Carey". For starters, she has to have more than one hit song. Why should Mariah give props to any newbie whose marketing vehicle has to drop her name in it? There have been too many singers compared to Mariah over the years, and guess what - NONE of them have managed to be half of who she is (at least probably in her opinion, and mine image ), so why does she have to feel the need to jump on the new bandwagon that is Leona Lewis? Good for you Mariah, you don't owe anyone anything.

I love this post. I'm gonna 'borrow' it.image
