Um the fact that a black latina woman can be the sixth richest musician in the world , someone who writes her own music, and escaped an abusive marriage -(Tony Mottola made her break up with her boyfriend when she was 18, when he was 20+ years her senior to sign her, he then started having an affair while still married to his wife, then married Mariah, refused to let her make music he thought was too black, and literally kept her LOCKED IN THEIR MANSION WHEN HE’D GO OUT, and if you don’t think the beggining of their relationship was coercive “you have to date me and have sex with me, let me control your entire life to work” wasn’t rapey and fucked up, to a teenage woman of color no less, get out of here, he even controlled her image, didn’t let her appear to sexual or anything like that), had a nervous breakdown and came out with one of the most successful albums (The Emancipation of Mimi) , earning her an extra 3 grammy’s, is fucking inspiring as fuck.
Not even counting her five octave range and two notes (including working with nodules which is a hinderance to most singers actually) which yes, she may not be able to hit the notes she could at 20, but she started out with a wider range than Beyonce, Christina, and especially Ariana (who may attempt to do a whistle note, but she can’t enunciate or be understood during these notes).
People wanna give shit to Mariah for loving Christmas so much but she’s one of the most played Christmas artists of all time (tbh Christina’s and even Jessica Simpson- Tony Mottola’s post Mariah project who did release 2 Christmas albums) have never achieved the level hers are. And you wanna discredit the fact that yes, she has actually WROTE christmas classics.
You’re just jealous you’re ain’t as festive, admit it.
I’m so glad y'all flamed them for that dumb ass comment
Update: Erica Garner spoke out about the making of the ad on her personal website, saying that Sanders’ team allowed her full creative control of the video and message.
“They had a totally different idea of what should be done,“ Garner said, “but true to form with Senator Sanders, he listened to me [and] didn’t tell me he knew better and I was not practical; and this is what we produced.”
She elaborated on her backing of his campaign by saying that his willingness to let her speak on her own terms reinforced her support.
If i was American you can bet you bottom dollar I would vote for any presidential candidate who expressed this much compassion and drive to fight for the rights of people who so far have been denied them.
I’m just gonna put this here to remind y'all to fucking v o t e.
