the woman is worth 250million dollars! Anything she's done since TEOM has been icing on the cake. Mariah Carey makes royalty money just for waking up
every day (afternoon)
Let me explain something...IDJ is a company (not a not-for-profit organization) that invests a great amount of money into their product (Mariah)
in the hopes of a good return. You really think they pay her a multi-million dollar contract and spend tons on the production and promotion costs of her
albums for their health? I assure you that anything Mariah's done since TEOM is not "icing on the cake". Now, of course Mariah is rich enough
to not have to record another album and still live a comfortable lifestyle. But if you think Mariah/IDJ don't care about how much she sells, you need
serious medical attention. DISCLAIMER- this post does not intend to portray Mariah Carey as a souless commercial machine with no artistry. But IDJ views her
primarily as not an artist, but a capitalist venture.
And also- not that there's really anyone here who falls under this description- why wouldn't people who don't like her music be interested in her
sales? Some people are just into the music industry/charts. Is something so wrong with that?
