Singer Mariah Carey has passed Elvis Presley for the most Number One US singles and is now second only to The Beatles. But, while the diva was in full celebration mode after learning of her latest milestone with her eighteenth chart-topper, “Touch My Body”, she was also quick to place her accomplishment in perspective. Sincerely spoken, and with more modesty than her dress sense, she opined, “I really can never put myself in the category of people who have not only revolutionised music but also changed the world”! You’re damn right, love… but, what exactly is it that this insidiously vacuous phenomenon wants to be known for, the quality of her tonsils or the size of her tits? I think the answer is neither. I don’t think she gives a toss about music and the only reason she flaunts her, admittedly, oversized breasts is to get young boys to part with their cash. I don’t feel remotely sorry that she has to do this to earn a crust. It’s all a question of who’s exploiting who? I wish punters, who get their mitts on her hits, would realise that all they’re getting for their hard earned is another, totally forgettable, trashy little ditty. You don’t get to tweak Mariah’s nipples by purchasing a copy of her latest compact disc, even though the title is inviting you to!
Carey’s actually playing a rather dangerous game through the manner in which she, continually, flaunts herself. The woman suggests, in both body language and lyric, that she’s available for molestation. Asking for trouble if you ask me! No wonder she calls for security at the end of her video. She, obviously, has many deep-rooted insecurities and I’m not sure it’s the computer geek that really needs to be shown off her premises. She wouldn’t need security if she didn’t keep flashing her matching bra and knicker sets at every peeping Tom, Dick or Harry. How, exactly, and I’m talking precisely, did she ever get a recording contract? I know the answer and I’m sure you all do, too! Don’t forget, at the start of her career, she married the boss of Sony records!! She doesn’t have a vocal range of five octaves. The mere suggestion is completely ludicrous as it is a physical impossibility, whatever the size of your cup! While I’m laughing my ass off, she’s too busy showing hers!! She may have made plenty of money in “the business” but, in actuality, has precious little musicianship. I really hope she doesn’t supersede The Beatles’ record of twenty.

I just cannot see the attraction with Mariah. She's bland in every sense of the world. Ability but no real talent or genius. Maybe that's why she's so easy to market?
Sorry. Sense of the word that should have been!
It's clear why photographers like taking her picture but I don't understand why she feels the need to muddy the melody of every song she sings!
Elvis must be turning in his grave.
Still, put it in perspective - to get a number one these days you have to sell about 5 copies. When it comes down to actual record sales, Elvis - and many others - will never been beaten.
If he's really dead!
There are many different ways of measuring success, of course. David Bowie's a terrific artist, save for a slightly dull patch mid-80s, but you wouldn't know it if the number of number ones was the be all and end all of a singer-songwriter's career!
