Mariah Carey Denied Induction To Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Three Years In A Row

[Dave D]

I'm not sure what you're talking about.  Her original contract with Columbia was for five albums for which she got $3 million.

1990: Mariah Carey — 15,000,000 copies
1991: Emotions — 8,000,000 copies
1993: Music Box — 30,000,000 copies
1994: Merry Christmas — 15,000,000 copies
1995: Daydream — 25,000,000 copies

The first five albums sold 93 million copies.

The Virgin Record deal was five albums for $100 million dollars.

All record labels are not created the same.  What's hard to understand about that?  Def Jams was started in Rick Rubens dorm room.  Columbia Records invented the LP record which still used today.

It’s not a Ben remotely hard to understand and I have never worked in the music industry, so it’s mind blowing that Mariah Carey didn’t know that as a seasoned veteran with multiple contracts under her belt.

Why does it make that Rick Rubin started a record label in his dorm room? Was he still living there when he signed Mariah? Should you mention he is white with a stupid beard and he funded Smokey Mountain Wrestling with Jim Cornette?  What about his relationship with Russell Simmons?

Mariah didn’t know what Def Jam was? She just signed a contract with them?

I'd do anything and everything to her from here to eternity.

Her problem is not really with the record labels.  She's had a different manager every two years from 2001 until today.  This is due to poor judgement on her part.  At one point she had a producer of the Real Housewives of New Jersey as her manager, which ended badly.

It's borderline creepy posting these pics.

I don't think this picture is creepy because she modeled the cover of the Emancipation of Mimi album cover after it.  It's an important picture to her. 

Exactly the same pose.
