HOW COME MARIAH DOESN'T BUST OUT THE POWER BALLAD'S ANYMORE?

For some reason when I woke up this morning I felt like listening to some old school Mariah Carey. Just a few days ago I'd decided to add an old song of hers I used to love to ipod. It was called Music Box.

Listening to music box reminded me that Mariah actually used to have talent and that I actually liked her at one point. Before I knew it I was digging through my ancient cd collection looking for my Mariah Carey Greatest Hits album.

I poppin in the first disk and started playing Vision of Love, I Don't Wanna Cry and Anytime You Need a Friend. All I could think was geez she just doesn't bust those notes like she used to.

I know she just had a successful power ballad in 05 with We Belong Together. It was a cute song but honestly if you compare her vocals on that one to the old Mariah it doesn't even compare. It kinda pissed me off.

It's like God gave her this amazing talent and she's just sitting on it. She reminds me of the smart kid that dumbs themself down because they're trying to be cool. Now Mariah would much rather be cute and flaunt her "street cred" than show us that she has some bangin pipes.

Wow Mariah. I used to look up to you man. What happened?
