Carey demands more respect
Mariah Carey is sick of her bad reputation, insisting she deserves more respect for her achievements in music.
The singer claims the media unfairly allows men to be creative songwriters, but portrays women as divas. Carey - the biggest selling female solo artist in the 1990s - says: "It's kind of difficult for people to see me as this diva and then to also realise that I do write my own songs and produce the records. "Quite frankly, it's much easier for men to get credit than women, particularly since I am not sitting behind a piano or a guitar. "My voice is my instrument." |

Personally, I hate her. And the only other persons I've hated without meeting them personally would be Pol Pot, Hitler, Saddam Hussein and that fat one out of Mcfly. Exalted company indeed...

Erm... I'll respect her as a songwriter as soon as she writes a decent song.
Seriously, pleading "respect me" isn't going to win anyone any respect. |

Maybe she'd get more respect if she didnt feel the need to dress like a 2 bit hooker all the time.

I always think back to Live8 and have a little chuckle every time Carey complains of being called a diva

![]() What were Goldsmith and Geldof thinking of when they got her to share a stage with that African Kid's choir? The woman can't interact with adults without coming over all superior so what was she going to do with a bunch of African kids? It was embarrassing to watch and I felt sorry for the kids. I wasn't keen on her before Live8, but have to admit my dislike of her grew to hatred that day.

I think what your saying is stupid (not calling you stupid) You dont no mariah.... I no i am trying to defend her and really i dont no here either. But as a fan (crazy fan) your hooked watching out for public apprearances TV RADIO. Im a fan that gose to Signings, hotels ect.. I recently met Mariah she was the nicest person you could meet. I no for a fact even before i was a fan. She has always put her fans first, They mean a hell of alot to her. She even leaves them Voice messages a few times a month. I dont no any other artist to do that. The reason i think so many people dislike her is because of the storys the media make up yes MAKE UP. The red carpet/driving round the hotle whilst they prepaired the redcarpet with rose petals and shit was complete rubbish. The Diva image is really not her at all. She plays on it alot actully. She thinks its funny to take the piss out of her diva image. |

Mariah "the pariah" Carey is quite frankly the most boring and repetative singer i have ever heard.
Funny thing is she seems to attract the same kind of fans as that other nutter Michael Jackson. You know the sort, they leap on anyone that dares to suggest their idol isnt the second coming!! |

Back on topic: In my opinion, respect is not somthing you demand that people give you, its not somthing that you get to decide how much you get to receive either. Its somthing given freely, by others. Last edited by DillholeMcGinty : 30-12-2005 at 10:44. |

She thinks its funny to take the piss out of her diva image. My goodness, does this mean you are calling that National Treasure Lorraine Kelly a liar?? Pop queen MARIAH CAREY's demanding behaviour has reached new heights - she's employed a servant whose job is to dispose of her used chewing gum. The MY ALL beauty shocked onlookers on the set of British television breakfast show GM:TV when she took her chewing gum out of her mouth and promptly planted it into the hand of a member of her entourage - which Scottish presenter LORRAINE KELLY jokingly described as "a cast of thousands". An incredulous Kelly says, "When Mariah wanted to get rid of her chewing gum, somebody put their hand out to take it - and that appeared to be their only job." http://www.contactmusic.com/new/xmlf...reys%20gumchum |

That "Appeared" to be the only thing they did.
Out of context. What would you say if mariah had taken it out of her mounth and stuck it under the GMTV Sofa she cant win. Ok ok she may well have done that but its hardly Diva'ish is it. That GMTV thing got to me abit. She pissed me off with the lighting issue (for those that saw it will no) But when i asked her she said she was tired but she was tring to be funny. She also said the red carpet shit is a pile of crap. She said " It was 3am in the morning, I couldnt and didnt care less if i was walking or dragged through mud" Behind closed doors and with her close friend mariah plays on the Diva title she has. She makes silly demands to her friends but no one dose the demands becuase they no Mariah is messing. |

A bit of a cheap shot which does you no favours (but appears to be entirely in character from the posts I've seen so far). musicmadnessash , for all you know, may be dyslexic. |

I find her lyrics corny as hell, she is too cheesy and the formula she applies is outdated, her album sales are not too hot as a result. She has not as far as I am aware written for anybody else. Next she will be asking that we respect her as an actress. |
