I was satisfied when ABBA made it in.

She’s not rock and roll and shouldn’t be in it just like all the other rap artists. They should have individual Hall’s for each genre of music.

I understand who and what type of music the put in it, it just shouldn’t be like that. One genre for each hall.

It's hilarious that Ol Dirty Bastard (as part of Wu Tang Clan) is getting in before her.
-
She will get in. And it won’t matter that she didn’t make it all the previous times.
She should reject the honor to really take a stand.
-
Her titties alone should get her in the hall of fame.

She`s no Carlos Santana !! ;)

Mariah's Paternal Grandmother was African American and lived in the Bronx. Here Paternal Grandfather was Black and Venezuelan. Making her Father at the bottom 75 percent black and Mariah 37.5 percent black.
Her Paternal Grandfather's real name is Roberto Núñez, but he adopted the name Robert Carey when he moved to America.
Both of Mariah's parents were raised in single parent households. Mariah's Maternal Grandfather died before her mother was born.

Didn't she made a big loan, early in her career, to be on the cover of a important magazine? To get noticed.

Mariah was the youngest of three children with a brother ten years her senior and a sister nine years her senior.
When she was three years old, there was a physical altercation between her dad and her older brother which caused her mother to call the police. That incident resulted in a breakup of the family with Mariah and Morgan, her older brother, staying with their mother and Alison, her sister going to live with her father in New York City.
Mariah's Mother was an Opera singer who went to Juliard on a full scholarship. When Mariah was four her mother was practicing an Aria and got stuck and Mariah finished the end of it. She would also sing the giggles on TV commercials.
At six Mariah sang the song White rabbit for her sister, brother, and four of their friends in a dark room lit by candles. That same year Mariah was walking home from school singing a song with her friend and the friend stopped and said "when you sing it sounds like there's music with you with stings and pianos.
During Mariah's first year at summer camp, at ten years old, She landed the big role as Hodel.
Mariah:
“I loved Hodel because she fell in love with a revolutionary boy and went to the ends of the earth to follow her passion. My big number was in the second act, a song called “Far from the Home I Love.” It was a well-suited song for my breathy tone, and I remember I sang it in a purely emotional way.”

I agree with this entirely. ONE HALL PER GENRE

It's not about genre; the first female inductee was Aretha Franklin. With 34 Grammy nominations, 5 awards (including Best New Artist) and a $350 million net worth, Mariah is not losing sleep over the RRHOF. Bah! ::)

I’ve always thought she was hott good body, and a very nice camel toe with tits to match

Mariah tell a few stories about her brother.
One where he's supposed to be baby sitting her on a Friday night and goes out with his friends and leaves her alone. Apparently there was a scary episode of 20/20 on about child abduction and she got scared when some neighbor kids started to throw rocks at the window. It basically sounded like a nothing burger, but at six she was scared.
The second story was her brother wanted to use the car and their mom wouldn't let him, so he pushed their mom against the wall and took the car. Mariah ended up calling a neighbor for help and they called the police. Not a great move by her brother, but he made peace with their mom the next day. Again another nothing burger.
The last story has the three of them driving to the beach with a friend of her brother. The friend has a comb in his pocket and on the drive to the beach he uses it to comb Mariah's hair. They didn't say a word to each other while he was doing it. Mariah never felt her mom took proper care of her hair and for some odd reason that even was a pivotal moment and lead to a life long obsession with her hair. It's important to note that up until that point Mariah never felt pretty, she always felt like an ugly duckling.
After her hair was combed at the beach:
-
Mariah Carey titty tribute?
-
Mariah posing for some friends of her mom who were gay.
Growing up Marilyn Monroe was Mariah's idol and you see it in her work. She want to be like Marilyn where the look is as important as the sound.
I have no problem with a woman wanting to be attractive.
-
When Mariah was young, her Grandmother told her father Mariah wasn't his due to her light skin and hair. Her Grandmother demanded she dance to prove she was black. Mariah didn't dance that day or ever. That's the reason she won't and can't dance.
Honey was the first video she danced and it didn't look awkward. Usually in concerts she just marches around the stage with dancers around her.
-
Alison, Mariah's sister got pregnant at 15 and the father was a 19 year old black man in the Military. Alison's mother wanted her to get an abortion, but her father said she could keep the baby if they got married. Alison got married and moved to the Philippines where her husband was stationed. A few years later, she was divorced and back in New York state.
Mariah was twelve at the time and happy to see her sister.
On one visit, Alison offered twelve year old Mariah cocaine, which Mariah declined.
On anther visit, her sister brought over a sixty year old man and brought Mariah back to his house where she was given a Valium that put her in trance.
At the time her sister lived with a pimp named John and two other women, one 17 and the other 27. One day her sister calls up and says she and John will be over to pick up Mariah. When he shows up her sister isn't with him and John has a gun resting on his leg. John takes Mariah to a house where a group of men are gambling and then to a drive in movie. At the movie, John put his arm around Mariah and kisses her. Another car drives up and the driver stares at the situation, causing John to leave and take Mariah home to her mothers. Mariah never mentiones the incident to anyone.

It's borderline creepy posting these pics.
What she called her Guncles (gay uncles) took these pictures. These are pictures of the young Diva in training.
She's fully clothed in both of these pictures and posing in a playful manner. What do do you find offensive?
Let me un-creepy this thread:
Each time I see a little girl
Of five or six or seven
I can't resist a joyous urge
To smile and say
Thank heaven for little girls
For little girls get bigger every day
Thank heaven for little girls
They grow up in the most delightful way
Those little eyes so helpless and appealing
One day will flash and send you crashing through the ceiling
Thank heaven for little girls
Thank heaven for them all
No matter where, no matter who
Without them what would little boys do?
Thank heaven, thank heaven
Thank heaven for little girls

She's constantly fighting the yo-yo effect
Craves Black cock too ::)
Been irrelevant for years now..only time she's heard of is at Christmas :: ::)

Great artist, shitty personality
R&R Music Hall of Fame makes no sense no way you can take seriously, and because music has changed so much, genres wise ...
is no longer relevant
WooooSSSHHHHHHHH

Are you a dancing queen..

The reason Christmas is special to her is her brother and sister lived in New York city and would seldom come out to Long Island to visit her and her mother except at Christmas. Her mother was very festive a Christmas time with Carols and Advent Calendars. There would usually be a blow up between her brother, sister, and their mom. Mariah vowed every year she wouldn't let her brother and sister ruin Christmas. As a result Christmas and Christmas Carols became very important to her. In addition, she makes a shit ton of money every year from that song that's the number one Christmas song every year. In addition to being the number one song of any type in December last year.
O Holy night is a must a Christmas as well.
-

WooooSSSHHHHHHHH
I feel this post. Part of the reason I'm trying to understand her better is just to not dislike her personality. Her public relations are terrible and she hasn't gotten any better at it. Maybe it's because she already has so many fans. Her interviews are usually terrible even with all the practice she's had.

Probably should have said these are kind of creepy pictures to begin with. If it were me, I would not post them.

She'll get in next year or so. They are teaching her a little humility. She needs it.

Richard Branson served her a $100 million dollar piece of humble pie in 2001 when Virgin Records dropped her from her four album record deal after only the first album.

What was the reason she was dropped?
-
What was the reason she was dropped?
The Glitter movie was a flop and unfortunately her first album with Virgin was a soundtrack to the movie. They were paying her $25 million per album for four albums and the Glitter album only sold 3 million copies. The first single Lover Boy only made it to number 2, which is respectable, but the expected multiple number one singles from this album. The female executive who signed the deal with Mariah was fired and two other male executives replaced her. When they met with Mariah, they wanted to renegotiate and she's said no dice, so they just canceled the whole contract.
Mariah had no problem signing another contract with Universal Records, but it was no where near as lucrative and she only stayed with them for one album. After that she signed with Island Def Jams. Def Jams was started in Rick Ruben's dorm room and launched Run DMC. She really didn't understand the tiers of record labels. Sony is like Mercedes compared to Island Def Jams which is like Kia.

In her early teens Mariah would go with her mother to restaurants with live music and sing with professional musicians. Often on week nights until late at night.
On the weekend professional musicans would come over to the house and Mariah would sing Jazz songs by Ella Fitzgreald and Billie Holiday. The musicians would treat her as an equal because musically see was.
She found paid gigs with what she called Waynes world types on Long Island and her brother found gigs for her with aspiring Hip Hop artists in NYC. Her Junior and Senior year she would drive into NYC until late at night recording often missing the first couple of classes the next day. Giving her the nickname Mirage because she missed so much school.

Immediately after graduating high school Mariah moved into New York City and shared an apartment with three other young women including the women standing behind her in this picture. The women behind her was her brothers girl friend at the time. He was 27 years old.
Mariah was so poor when she moved to the city, she only had one pair of shoes with a hole in them. She would live off a dollar a day and would decide if she wanted to eat or ride the subway.
Her brother bought her a pair of high tops to replace the shoes with the hole in the sole. He also got her connected to Ben Margulies who was in a band with him. Ben had a small studio and recorded her demo tape, which her brother paid for. Ben had Mariah sign a contract affecting her first four albums and she didn't fight it.
The Lyrics to the song make it happen are in reference to this time in her life.
Not more than three short years ago
I was abandoned and alone
Without a penny to my name
So very young and so afraid
No proper shoes upon my feet
Sometimes I couldn't even eat
I often cried myself to sleep
But still I had to keep on going
Never knowing if I could take it
If I would make it through the night
I held on to my faith, I struggled and I prayed
And now I've found my way
If you believe in yourself enough
And know what you want
You're gonna make it happen
Make it happen
And if you get down on your knees at night
And pray to the Lord
He's gonna make it happen
Make it happen
You're gonna make it happen, oh, ye

Her first major singing job was as backup singer to Brenda K Starr who had a hit "I Still Believe".
She's in the back left.

Brenda invited Mariah to an industry party and gave her demo tape to Tommy Mottola the head of Columbia records. Tommy immediately went downstairs to his car a listened to it and within a week he had Mariah signed to a six album record deal. She was just 19 years old at the time.
Brenda tells the story of the incident.

Here's what Tommy heard on that demo tape:

she should play the race card
That won't work. Salt-N-Pepa got inducted last year. And they're not even mixed like Mariah. ;D
She’s not rock and roll and shouldn’t be in it just like all the other rap artists. They should have individual Hall’s for each genre of music.
Rapper and R&B singers going into the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame is like getting Thanksgiving turkeys at Honey Baked Ham.
Even if you don't eat swine, there's something there that you'll like to eat. ;D

Love that song

Narada Michael Walden produced the two biggest hits on her freshman album "Mariah Carey" in 1990. He also worked with Whiney and George Michael.
The "Mariah Carey" album had four number one hits which is very rare particularly for a new artist.
Mariah didn't tour at all after the first album, but went right back into the studio.

This statement is the reason for this thread. I and many other do not understand why this woman does not get the credit she deserves. Yes, he's a great producer, but he was blown away by her talent from the very start. Did she have the best team in the business behind her, yes, but she still had to do the work. The demo tape was done in a wood shop. There was literally no production value behind it and it sounded good to the ear of a top producer. He just took it to a higher level.

She's in the back left.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Brenda K several times when she was making the transition from freestyle to Salsa (she later had some hits in Latin charts as salsa singer)
The first two times she will proudly mention Mariah was her backup singer (this while Mariah was on top of the world) one felt like asking what happened then' ...
Third time around she told me off air not to mention that Mariah once was her backup singer.
No plastic surgeries no Botox, Brenda was an absolute milf .
WooooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHh BEYEKE

Oh, I misunderstood what you meant by "behind her". To be fair, Tommy was "behind her" in all meanings of the words.
In my opinion, Mariah would not have reached the heights she did without Tommy. Her best work was with Tommy and Sony.
Here's a brief interview Tommy did we he talks about his relationship with Mariah. Apparently, the first album took over a year and a half, almost two years. He also talks about how the industry has changed and gives some great insights. Starts at 8:50 asking about Mariah.

Sometimes those award bullies decide to mess with someone. For example Bjork with 16 grammy nominations and zero wins.

Mariah met Ben Margulies when she was only 16 years old. She would drive into the city after school her junior year and record in the small studio he had until late at night. Sometimes not getting home until 3:00 am in the morning. They were producing the demo tape that would eventually get her signed with Sony music.
Her first Album titled Mariah Carey had four number one singles on it:
Vision of Love
Love Takes Time
Someday
I Don't Wanna Cry
Her first public appearance was on The Arsenio Hall Show where she sang Vision of Love in 1990.
Vision of Love performed on Good Morning America in 1990. Just a Piano and two backup singers.
-
The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame hated Johnny Winter also,but you tell me who was playing guitar like this in 1970 ???
Wait,I`ll tell you..........nobody was !! 8)
-
One of her best live performances ever, flawless. - Without You at the Tokyo Dome in 1996.
I believe she was the best singer in the world at this point.
-
Mariah's second album was title Emotions.
She famously did not tour at all for her first two albums and there were rumors she was a studio creation and couldn't actually sing.
The reality is the songs on the first two albums are so challenging they don't allow for more than a couple of songs to be sung at a time meaning a full concert was not possible. To squash the rumors she did an MTV Unplugged.
Emotions on MTV Unplugged 1992. She is only 22 years old here and will continue to improve.
