Mariah is a no-talent human dog whistle. I ll just say this much at least she s not sprouting out kids that she doesn t have the maturity or mental capacity to properly care for! As part of the sports media, I have to say, it s things like this that make me understand why the famous don t trust journalists.

I just read the article and thought how meaningful it is that someone is opening their home in that way. And here you are, not long after, trying to read something into it that mainly makes you sound bored. I d guess if she reads your rude comments she won t soon open her doors again.

And that s a shame. Because when people let us journalists in (be it home or heart) it s a privilege we should have some respect for. I blog.

Since Mariah is a person in the public eye, when she gives interviews destined to be read by the populous at large, I can then form an opinion and also offer said opinion. I never said everyone had to agree with me. And I should feel privileged that someone in her position deigned to grant me a chance to breathe her rarefied air?

I call it like I see it if someone does well, I will say so; if someone is acting like a diva, I will say so as well. Again my opinions feel free to disagree, but don t try to tell me how privileged I should feel. She is no better than you or I or anyone else in this world, she just has more money.

Mariah Carey is clearly very overpaid for what she does, as shown by the absurdly overdone extravagance of her home. She grants an interview to a magazine, and we plebes comment on what we see. K had some unusual insight into the big picture, that I haven t heard anyone else comment on.

I hope Mariah s happy but I suspect that under that dazzling smile, she is not. It strikes me that she opened up her home primarily to show off. K should be able to say whatever she wants about it - at least her commentary is less rude and trivial than what I see on other websites.

I live in a small, run down, one-bedroom apartment, so here s my take on it: Where s Karl Marx when you need him! As said in the article, Mariah worked hard to get all the things that she has. She is a very talented singer, and unless you can hit the notes that she can I really don t think that you can argue with that.

Maybe if you trash talkers worked as hard as she did, you would have a lot of money to spend on the things that you like. Don t trash talk her because she made a lot of money and bought a nice home and filled it with things she likes and wants. You don t have to like her or her music, but jealousy and envy don t really get you anywhere in life.

Those of you trashing my article are missing the entire point! You say I m envious and jealous, but you re missing what I really said. If it weren t so ironic it would be funny.

(BTW, I am perfectly happy with my home and what I have in it I ve been through a lot for my home and I have no desire for more. I certainly don t desire more than I ll ever need that s just gluttonous.) My point was this .

Mariah has a lot of money. Mariah has a huge, expensive house filled with lavish furnishings. Mariah has a beautiful voice.

Mariah has a lot of things. But .is Mariah happy?

THINGS are not the measure of our success. THINGS do not make us happy. THINGS do not love us back.

THINGS can be gone in a nanosecond. What does she have .besides things?

What is in her life to make her happy besides stuff? When she is on her deathbed, and she looks back on her life, will she say, I m really glad I had a lot of stuff! ?

She seems to need to prove to everyone, but probably herself most of all, that she is a success, and that she s no longer that little gawky girl that people made fun of. And she uses her stuff and her divaness to do that. But it s all so temporal .

it can be gone in a second. It isn t important. Her voice, her money, her diva attitude all completely unimportant.
