Mariah Carey: #1 On The Music Whore List (Again)

First she caged a music exec to get her to where she’s now & now she’s wringing every last penny from her career as she cruises around trying to sell her new beats.

We Belong Together, Carey’s 16th No. 1, reached record-setting radio audiences and is atop Nielsen BDS’ national airplay chart for the eighth week. It’s driving sales of The Emancipation of Mimi, No. 4 in Billboard after selling 2.3 million copies since April 12. [USA TODAY Via Yahoo]

Let’s not bullshit ourselves, now. Mariah has done wonders for the music industry. Her skanky style on stage & off is the force behind today’s most scandalous popstars. Thanks to Mz struttin’ her plumpy goods like your typical Hollywood slut, us guys got to taste Britney, Christina & all the other hos in their most boobilicious state. Bottomline is simply that Mariah raised the skank bar & for that, we’re forever grateful.

On that skanky note, here are couple other photos of Mariah working her magic.

From Fox News:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,30848,00.html

We’re rooting for Mariah Carey since her hospitalization for exhaustion last week. It can’t help that this weird episode came on the heels of her single "Loverboy" pretty much tanking. You have to feel for Mariah — her whole image has been built on the myth of an unbroken string of chart hits.

But were they hits? For example, Billboard ranked "Loverboy" at number 2 this week, up from number 60. But according to Radio & Records, which actually measures the airplay for records, "Loverboy" is not in the top 30 on its pop chart, ranks dead last at number 30 on the rhythmic chart, and is number 19 on the Urban chart.

So why is it number 2 on Billboard? If it’s not being played, why did it sell so many copies last week?

Mariah, like a lot of other pop stars, owes the success of her singles not to her fans but to a few distributors who control the record business. Primary among them is Trans World Entertainment of Albany, the company that owns Coconuts Music & Movies, FYE (For Your Entertainment), Camelot, Planet Music, Record Town, Saturday Matinee, Spec’s Music, Strawberries, The Wall, and Waxie Maxie's. Trans World has been deep discounting Mariah’s singles for years, selling them for a quarter of the price of other records.

Trans World’s business with Carey goes both ways. They recently made a big donation to Carey’s Camp Mariah, which is part of the Fresh Air Fund. Mariah accepted the check from the Albany-based music retailer at her in-store signing at the Roosevelt Field Mall in Long Island. (Carey is one of the few celebrities who actually donates a lot of money to charity and is consistently generous with her earnings.)

In October 1999, when Carey’s "Heartbreaker" was released commercially and zoomed up the charts, this column spoke with Vinnie Berbeglia, the buyer for Trans World Entertainment, who conceded that this was a regular part of their marketing. They account for more than 1000 record stores. At the time a survey of Trans World stores showed that they were selling "Heartbreaker" for 49 cents, as well as other Columbia Records acts like Ricky Martin and Jennifer Lopez.

The average price of a single not deep discounted is $1.99.

As Joni Mitchell once observed, this is all about "stoking the star making machinery." With a single at the top of the charts as kind of a loss leader for sales, it’s also a teaser for a new album. And a self-fulfilling prophecy is created. Now that it’s a hit, phony or not, the record has to be played by radio stations — even if they previously rejected it or no one wanted to hear it.

Mariah is the biggest scam in the record industry. She calls herself the "greatest selling female artist ever" but that is pure b.s. In fact, anybody who works in the record industry knows that her record sales are incredibly inflated. SEVERAL OF HER NUMBER ONE SONGS were not even hits. They flopped so bad that Mariah's distributor decided to deeply discount the songs for 29 cents while other singles went for $1.99. This was during the 90s when singles sold well and Billboard charted mostly on sales. I don't think she can sing if her life depended on it. Dog Whistling is not singing. Mariah is over with. Her latest single, "Fly Like A Bird" didn't even make the top 100.

mariah dreamlover/hero era- Nice girl next door image, beautiful voice, respected.

mariah GLITTER/loverboy era- conked it trying the "sex sells" technique. Ended up in the kookoo nest.

mariah NOW - still dresses revealing, and i think she should cover up more, coz she looks much better when she wears more clothes.

Needless to say, her songs/voice are absolutely terrific, her job is to 'entertain' not to 'help the needy'.

Yes she may be a hypocrite for going to those charity places and not helping out, but those charity places appreciate mariah for just turning up. Why? they need people to be aware of their organisation so more people who are GENUINELY interested can actually help.

Mariah is a star. She wouldn't be so big if she was crap. (she was for a moment around the GLITTER era) She picked herself up from the rubble when she went crazy.

Who are we to judge her personal life? from her accomplishments professionally, i applaud her.

Let's all give each other one group hug !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

xoxoxox Crisa

ps Mariah if u ever read this site which i dont think u will with ur hectic schedule, please cover up because u are a beautiful woman and dressing provocatively doesn't equal style. You've got the talent you can wear trackies if you want :)

I disagree. As a former Mariah fan from the 90's, she has changed so much (it seems most of the ones on this forum who LOVE her now, were wayyy to young to remember her back in 1990) and she is not appealing to me at all anymore. It's a shame because she was so talented and her music was awesome and had feeling to it. Something raw and upbeat about it. And now, she is singing nasty ghetto hip hop crap, pretending to be something she is not. She is a Long Island chick who is whiter than anything (as mixed as she is) pretending to be black and trying to jump on the hip hop wagon. It is not her at all! Beyonce can sing that because it is her style. Mariah needs to stop following the trends and stick with what was working for her. Sure, she is still selling records, but I happen to believe it is the 20 something crowd who is buying her latest albums. Most of the people I know who loved her back in the 90's, does not like her now. And another thing. She used to be sexy and cute, girl next door. Now she truly looks like a porno slut! Same thing happened to Toni Braxton... another huge talent who's career went down the tubes once she started going out of her usual genre, to keep up with the trends. I predict the same for Mariah. Eventually she will have to keep attracting new fans because all her old ones are listening to REAL artists like Sade, who don't have to follow stupid teenybopper trends to sell records and make money. Sade sings because she can and her lyrics are deep and her style is timeless and so are her songs. She never sounds dated. and she stays out of the limelight and tabloids. Mariah should take a lesson from Sade. Sade does not have Mariah's range, but at least she sings great. Mariah, what a waste..... such a great voice, left to sing crappy Britney rip off songs. Mariah is just full of drama and always wants attention. Mental breakdowns, jilted lovers, failed marriages, etc....... who cares! I am sick of her!

And for the record, Mariah is such an idiot. She said in an interview, regarding the plight of Ethiopians that she would love to be that skinny, like them, but without all the flies and death. I am paraphrasing but find the quote. She really said that. She is a dumb fake blonde! LOL And anyone who buys her records is just as shallow as her.

Philomen

to ''Haters'',''Lucky'',and''Niki I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that has commond sense to not bash Mariah and know that these people that are hating on her are stupid.

Brad

Mariah is not latino. Her mother is Caucasian-Irish American and her father is African American-Venuzuelan. So there is no Mariah from the block, sorry.

Haters

ALL OF YALL ARE JUST HATING ON MARIAH SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, SHE HAS TALENT. EVERY DAMN ARTIST GETS SOMETHING DONE, FROM BOOBS, ASS, NOSE ECT. SO YA'LL JUST MAD CUZ YA'LL CANT LOOK LIKE HER. SO GET YO SHIT STR8. NOW TAMMY I BELEIVE YOU DO HAVE SOME APPEARANCE ISSUES SINCE YOU COME BACK AND COMMENT TO WHAT DEE HAS TO SAY. BY THE WAY ALL DAMN ARTIST DRESS HALF NAKED TO GET PEOPLE ATTENTION SO WHY DONT YOU JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP. SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL HISPANIC, BLACK, IRISH WOMAN. YES SHE IS MIXED WITH ALL THESE ETHNICITYS SO DONT THINK SHE ONLY BLACK AND WHITE SHE IS LATINA AS WELL. JUST STOP HATTING AND SHUT THE FUCK UP

Lucky

Man this is crazy...this is not technically a bash Mariah site, like one of the posts stated. The moderator obviously hates on her, and so he typically started the bashing. No one here truly knows Mariah. No one her knows if you slept her way to the top or not, no one here has mentioned if they've seen her in person to say if she is fat or not. The camera adds weight to you. If she slept to the top...so what, but just remember what could sleeping her way to the top do for her???? She has talent, she doesn't need to sleep her way up there. Some such as Britney Spears would need to do so, because she doesn't have the voice...play Mariah one time on one radio station, and there will be millions of people wanting more...you can't do that in the bed. Basically she's got the talent of writing, singing, the beauty, and the money. It seems odd for someone to say "I hate Mariah Carey." Well why do you hate her, someone you don't know? Some you have ony read bad things about and have been brain washed to believe other people's opinions. Do you not have a mind of your own to have you own feelings?? What the hell? She can't please everyone, and she definitely will always have "haters" out there, but she will still succeed, and carry on making her records, her millions, touching lives everyday. Yeah sure she may have her crazy moments, as we all have. If everyone was perfect then we wouldn't be living the way we all do, sinning every freaking day! (Thanks Adam & Eve)So bash her if you must, but be able to support your reason...Not one of you pathetic haters can. NOT ONE! Prove she's a slut, slept her way to the top..PROVE it all! I'm sure half the chicks here have worn skimpy clothing at one point(if you skinny enough) or the fat chicks who can't hating cuz they can't, or the "singing hopefuls" that wish they could be in Mariah's place, but don't have what it takes, or the guys, who wish their girlfriends look half as good, and could home to a Mariah after work, and just find her in a bed with silk sheets with nothing on but heels! Damn work is coming to and end, and this took up just enough time! Rock on to all the Mariah fans! Remember "No investigation, NO right to speak!" Peace out ya'll, the weekend is here, and it's time to party and we are gonna "Shake it off" to none other than the devine Ms. Mariah Carey!! :-)~ GONE

UNKNOWN

Oh my gosh. I am so happy that I changed someone elses life again! I truly AM making a change in the world! I am sorry I made all those bad things! Your welcome so much!!!

Niki

well well, so your right. Gee whiz, I guess I better go make some serious changes in my life like join weight watchers, and go to a shrink for being such a slutty whore... thank you so much for changing my life

UNKNOWN

No Niki, I have never seen you. You ARE the loser. Mariah Carey never chose to make her life a public spectacle, it was not her choice. I am never surprised at criticism. You cannot make a decision. I have all the fucking basis I need. You are the only one here throwing shit around and yes, I am very intelligent, you stupid fat slutty whore, you are fake as hell! Loser.

Niki

Wow- there you go- just proved my point......I'm sure I am all those things you say because you've seen me right???? Good grief....and I'M the loser. You can make opinions about MC because she has chosen to make her life a public spectacle. That was her choice. Therefore why should anyone be suprised at criticism. Me on the other hand did not make that desicion so once again you have no basis... your just throwing shit around. good job... very intelligent response

UNKNOWN

Shu tup Niki, you stupid fat slutty whore, you ar efake as hell! Loser.

Niki

YOU PEOPLE HAVE GOT TO SHITTING ME!!! Let me get this straight..... Mariah Carey is fat........ my my how society has got their priorities fucked up. Fat is 20lbs overweight. Fat is rolls. Fat is your thighs rubbing together for fucks sake. If you weigh 130lbs you are NOT FAT. She is a slut and is fake as hell, but fat she is not. Seriously maybe she gained some weight, but fat is a strong word. Especially in America where obesity reigns predominatly in our culture. If you want to shit on someone, find something that actually holds water or keep your mouth shut. ( but I do hate her) ha ha ( that fat bitch) hahahaha

Cierra

you haters don't kow what the hell your talkin about she is not a slut or fat or anything u guys dont even know her and if u did then u wouldnt be saying anything and besides her voice is great just cause u dont sing like her dont take it out on her u guys are pathetic get a life if u dont like her dont even bother to look at her why talk about her why try to find ugly pictures of her u really need to get a life and until u meet her face to face u cant say anything about her cause u dont know what it is like to be her so step off and grow up

UNKNOWN

Bob Macdonald, you are such a loser! Bottymouth, you are the only fucking cow here.

Pottymouth

I forgot! I have a new nickname for her - Mooriah Carey and her new album should be called "The Emancipation of Moo Moo"! It's definately more realistic!

Pottymouth
Pottymouth

This is too funny! I thought I was the only one that hated Mariah Carey; I guess I was wrong though. She is fat and well hated by many. LOL! I love this!

Bob Macdonald

Remember: Mariah is very damaged and has lost the plot. She is a bubble butted, big titted chick, but she is a lousy musical talent. She is also the worst example of a women fucking and sucking her way into the business. She kind of makes other women artisits look bad. You know, people like Courtney Love, Gwen Stefani, Madonna - they would never fuck for a hit? Would they?

UNKNOWN

Renee, I understand, but Trinis are different. And you are saying stupid things about Mariah, which are all lies and you should stop.

Philomen Greigg

Renee you see all that crap you writing (yeah I might of spelled some words wrong )if you were really smarter than me you wouldn't to my level and to put you on the spot if your so bright and intelligent you would of seen that I spelled more than ''cunt,''no'', and ''gal'' you ignoramous fool and yes it is a word look it up in the Dictionary ok.OK.

But like I said everyone has there opinion.I just going to leave this alone.Let's just squash the beaf now cause there's no need to get over some body don't even know to give an opinion about then.Oh yeah and I never said my aunt and uncle was an attorney, I said there lawyers and I'm not lying.But as I was saying I care anymore if you don't want to squash the beaf you don't have to but at least I'll know I made an attempt to leave it alone.

Oh and oyah is a word people use in my country to like many people.

Philomen Greigg

First of all Renee or what ever your name is I'm a girl .Second of all your head to far up your ass to be talking about how my English is poor.Third of all not even from this country so kill me if I can't speak prapor english ok.Cause I was born in T&T; if you don't know what I mean figure it out and I speak Spanish or Chinese puta.So get it through your think ass mine.But you know what I'm not even going to critise you on what you say about Mariah anymore cause you know what everybody have there own opinion about people,but as for MariahImight not know her but anyone who actually looks pass the way she looks and listen to the way she sings.All pain and love you hear you will be able to say oh yeah her appearances might make look like a slut or what ever you all call her but she's really not.So just keep talking and have your smart comments to say about her or me I don't even care anymore.

Renee

P.s.s...

This site is supposed to be a site to make fun of (and tell true feelings about) Mariah Carey. I have no idea why there are so many nasty mouthed people in here trying to defend her. She sucks, we all know she USED to have talent but blew that when she decided that she couldn't sing without wearing dresses down to her navel and skirts showing her butt cheeks. WE all know that she didn't have to do that be a successful singer. Now she's just like everybody else shaking her ass. Nothing special about her anymore.

Renee

Hi Unknown,

The last two comments posted by me were directed to "Philomen Greigg." He'll know it when he reads it. His English is so poor that you feel two distinct feelings when you read his posts...you laugh outloud because he can't write one sentence that makes any sense and secondly, you feel sort of sorry for him because he's obviously so ignorant. So, unknown, there's the answer to your question. Scroll up a bit and read the comments posted by Philomen Greigg and you'll understand.

UNKNOWN

Renee, who are you talking about???

Renee

P.s...

What is "oyah?" and by the way, I actually feel sorry for you because you are so obviously uneducated. If you need a tutor, I'll do it for free because you need help. OYAH.

Renee

To the illiterate bastard that wrote his aunt and uncle are attorneys...

First, I will write in proper English for those who can read and write. No one on this site has defamed that whore. This is SUPPOSED to be a forum for people who hate her to say that they hate her. Period. Secondly, you really should get an education, you have totally (if you have enough sense) embarrassed yourself.

Now, for you, I will write in a way that you will understand. You talk out yo ass. You stupid. You be really weally stupid. CUz you Don't not no how to spake englush. The only words you got right where "gal" "no" and "cunt." Very nice. At least, you got cunt right because I know you no who's a cunt. Hop yo got it. I tried to speell in away that you could understand. Take care.

UNKNOWN

Marriah, you need the truth! Everyone should just leave Mariah alone!

Marriah

Tammy you really helped me see Marriah in a whole different way. I dont like her as much as I used to, now that I know the truth, too bad I was named after her...Yuck. Thanks for the truth Tammy

P.S. I hope I used correct grammar

Marriah

Philomen Greigg

ok Renee

you just wrote oh how people are just trying to scare people in to getting their way or something .well listen what are you do?you saying don't do stuff when your doing it idiot.instead of talking through yur mouth your talking through you cunt whole so just shout yah ass.cause in that case if you really are an attorney and you think if someone try to sue the case will get thrown out will here goes my uncle is a lawyer and so is my aunt who both know what there doin so if you want to bring this to court lets do it.because you all has no right to judge other people when yall probably look worst than that person. so don't say a thing and just shut yah asswhole.because someone was to interagate oyah about oyah selve someone things you didn't think people knew bother you about your selves is probably the things cause you to react towards things that way.and maybe n day oyah would stop thinking from yah ass and more fromyah god damn head.AND YES THIS IS TO ALL D HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Philomen Greigg

Yes yah dah wah no trini gal tah put a few cus or two in yah ass

Renee

TO "George Orwin":

You have NO clue about the First Amendment and freedom of speech. I am an attorney. First, if I, and everyone else on this page HATES the slut that is Mariah Carey (who brought this rep on herself) then we are allowed to do and say so. Also, FYI, it's not "DEFORMATION" there is NO such word. It's called defamation which is slander (spoken slander) and it's not slander if a person speaks the TRUTH (which she clearly is a slut, so the truth is a defense). So, stop attempting to threaten people by trying to scare them about what they write. You sue on those grounds: A) it will get thrown out of court as having no merit; but B) I'll represent anyone on this site that you think you can sue over simply saying what they think. Good luck.
