^^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
. I mean, Mariah was once
compared to Whitney and that was a huge compliment (that worked for her
).
They're not comparing her. Some articles have the nerve to say look out Mariah like she'll lose her spot to Leona. That's the tone of a lot of
it so how is Mariah supposed to feel about it. Why should she have to be nice about that.
