A letter to Mimi

I have heard a lot about the rumors that Mariah Carey will be dropped by Epic Records and I must say that is a silly thing. She is a legend, a talented artist, she sings the longest running #1 song in Hot 100 history, she has sold more than 250 million records, and she has the most #1 singles by solo artist more than anyone in the earth. It must be very silly if Epic Records want to drop her all of the sudden.

I know that "I Don't", her new single has not been doing very well on the chart nor the radio. Well, I must say it is a flop. I mean, she is Mariah Carey and she was famous back then in 1990s which means, most of her devoted fans were about her age or even older. Idk what about you guys but my parents and my grandparents hates Mariah's new genre, and they really have a point. People at her age (if they are not a singer) or even older would choose to listen to Adele's or Ed Sheeran's songs, they love ballads, pop and souls, not an R&B songs. If you want to get attention from the youth, let me tell you that teenagers love to listen to dance songs, pop songs and modern R&B such as Beyonce's. Idk which one you want to get attention from, but sadly I don't think people are liking your "I Don't". Admit it, only devoted and die hard fans would love em.

I think you should sing another ballads such as "Hero", "Without You", "I Still Believe" if you want to get your old fans back. They are always there waiting for you to release such incredible songs like you used to do. You keep on disappointing them by releasing what you are not expected to release. To be honest, "I Don't" is a total mess and music-less for both youth and your old fans. If people love it, the chart won't lie Mariah, I mean look at Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, The Chainsmokers. You could hit #1 in 2008, when there were Lady Gaga and Rihanna in that year also, hitting #1. You can if you just listen and see the real world. Try to blend with the present, with your fans all over the world. We still want to hear a lot like "Love Takes Time" and "Emotions" or "Fantasy". 

You are a professional it would be a shame if your true self is hidden because of your manager forces you to do something that you are not. Reality show is not your thing and never will be. It was Stella's, not Mariah's. The media been saying that she is your closest friend, well I see her as a parasit. I just hope you are not being used as her poppet. You are an independent woman Mariah, you still can achieve what you should be achieving, only if you want to change and adapt the present, get out of your comfort zone, change your genre or if you want to stay, make a music such as "We Belong Together" or "I Stay in Love", songs that people would love, not what you would love. However music industry is your career after all, and by career I mean you are working with and for the records and the fans not with your own self. 

Remember, people nowadays do not care about the past of a singer. If they love the music, they just love it and will keep on listening to it over and over again. Choice is yours. We've been waiting for the old music of yours, we hope to see you back. Well if you want to back where you were. If not, then........well.......stay where you are, don't move, stay in your comfort zone, stay blinded, and forget your old fans.
