UK vendetta against Mariah

LL Cool J's "Love U better", Mariah Carey's "Boy I need you", Whitney Houston's "Whatchulookinat", Toni Braxton's "Hit the Freeway", and TLC's "Girl Talk" would have all been big hits had national radio and more ILR stations supported them. All these tracks made reasonable chart positions with little or no love at national or commercial radio level.

I think that there is a vendetta against Maraiah Carey in the UK and, to be honest, I don't know why. That egotistic sad case from the Sun was intent on writing about what Mariah had got up to whilst in the country and the week of her release of her current single. She is persecuted by Mr Mohan because she brought her own chef to cook her a meal of chicken and vegetables. With what is going on in the world today, is that such a crime?

This piece was written by the same man that virtually hung, drew and quartered Mariah for that most ghastly of crimes "depression". Yep, because she was depressed, Mr Mohan decided it was his duty to kick her while she was down a couple of years ago and he has not given up in his relentless battle to try and wreck this stunning vocalist's career.

Mariah has been given a ride worse than that of Michael Jackson and R Kelly... and they have both been linked with child sex allegations. You know my thoughts on both of these cases: they have appeared in print on these pages and you know I think these guys will always remain innocent until proven guilty. But surely what they have been accused of should attract more bad press than "depression".

I also believe that radio has a hidden agenda against Mariah - had Jennifer Lopez recorded "Boy" with Cam'ron, radio would have been all over it like a rash. Which is rather sad because, although Ms Lopez is good at what she does, it is like comparing Division 1 with the Champions League... there really is no contest!

Many thanks to MariahCareyUK.
