You have to love this bit from a few weeks ago, in which someone from MC’s agency tries to explain why they scaled the tour back to smaller venues: > [@](#): > > “Mariah had been speaking to people, monitoring her Web site, and listening to her fans, and the resounding note she heard was her fans wanted to see her in a more intimate environment and were less concerned about the big production aspects of an arena tour,” says John Marx, senior VP of contemporary music at the William Morris Agency. In other words, her appeal is becoming more selective. Dr. J ---

Mariah’s worst habit, IMO, is that which I call “singing with the dolphins.” Make that fucking noise STOP. I remember reading a bit last year that she was sitting in the smoking section of a restaurant, and someone _gasp_ had the nerve to _light a cigarette_ at a nearby table, and she sent someone over to that person’s table telling them to please extinguish it, as it was “harmful to her vocal chords.” Silly bitch. Sounds to me the guy/gal with the cig was just trying to do his/her civic duty. Where’s the harm in harming Mariah? I ask you. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by World Eater \* > \*\*IIRC, Tommy Mottola (head of Sony records), met her in a restaurant where she was slinging hash. \*\* I thought she met him after or during the recording of her first album, as he was an executive at her label. ---

Well, if it’s any consolation, she was villified at the MTV Movie Awards. There were so many nasty cracks made about her, and a really mean joke by MTV. It almost made me feel sorry for her. Almost. ---
