I came across an article about a ten year old blind girl who had tickets to a concert Mariah Carey cancelled. The little blind girls family sent an e-mail to Mariah Carey and got a really nasty response.

Well, it does say in the article that pretty much everyone agrees that it’s highly unlikely Mariah herself responded with that. She can’t really be blamed (unless she DID send it… In which case, let’s go kill her) however, whoever the jerk was who did send it really should be fired for it. ---

And Ms. Carey (who I must add, I can’t stand) should make it a point to visit the girl. Her PR is already in the shitter, she really can’t afford to let stuff like this go. ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Mariah Carey_ > “Miss with all due respect, I have my own problems. i have no time to accommodate everyone else’s. My sister is suffering HIV right now. Is anyone worried about my problems? Some people can be so damn selfish. Next time you email me with any requests, you will be reported. Have a great day!” m.c. Reported? For what? To who? I also like how Mariah’s sister dying from HIV is _Mariah_’s problem. Seems like it’s more sis’s problem than anyone else. Frankly, Ms. Carey isn’t nearly talented enough to have this much ego. Go say Hi to the blind girl, you cheerleading freak. ---

Mariah Carey didn’t seem to be having any problems (save her normal live performance inconsistency) when she was prancing around on the Today Show this morning. (Where’s the barfing smiley when you need it?) But the woman is a freakshow. We all know (and have seen footage which documents the fact well) that she’s one sandwich short of a picnic. I could certainly believe that she either wrote that e-mail herself or is too mental to realize that a staffer who would write something like that in her name is not someone who should be entrusted with answering fan e-mails. I could care less how many kids she sends to Fresh Air Camp, MC has been fairly low on my list of celebrs worth giving a damn about, and this just reinforces that opinion a little more. Overhyped nutcase. ---

To think Vin Diesel put his penis inside of her. It bothers me to no end. ---

Yep when asked this morning on the Today show if she had any advice to give to the 2 or 3 winners of american idol she replied and I paraphrase; “I don’t really have any as I started out by releasing several records before I had a hit whereas those people had a star platform to springboard on right from the beginning.” Thanks for the advice and encouragement for young talent sleezy. Poor thing had to release several bombs before getting a hit record. That’s some suffering ain’t it? What she should have said was " I had to bang several people before I got a hit record." Granted the winners of AI did have a quicker road to their 15 minutes of fame (which may or may not last) but look at the shit they went through to get it. I thought old Ruben was going to stroke out before he could win the contest. There are lots of MC fans out there but personally speaking she bores the shit out of me after the first 2 bars. ---

Well, according to _some_ TV news show I saw about an hour ago, it turns out that the response didn’t come from Miss Carey’s website. The girl’s grandmother tried to initiate contact with Miriah Carey by e-mail, got an incorrect site, and got the smartass response as a result. Miriah herself has called the girl and they have spoken on the phone. Miriah has promised her two tickets to another concert. The girl’s dad seemed quite satisfied the the whole thing was not the fault of M.C. or her staff. Not that I’m a fan or anything, but fair’s fair. ---

From the article: > [@](#): > > In fact, Carey, who Michelle’s never seen is always in her imagination, a constant companion, she holds her hand and talks to her telling the singer she loves her. It shouldn’t take me much brainpower to decipher the meaning of a sentence, but this one nearly overwhelmed me. It doesn’t help that I just woke up from a nap. ---

Well, while Mariah has a few entries on Snopes, there is nothing about this one. It does seem far fetched. ---

**Barrytown** , it confused me too but I took it as Michelle having sort of an imaginary friend and worshipping/having conversations with her in the way only little girls do. ---
