I\'ve heard it all now. Mature pop,eh? I call it brainless commecialized music, but that is just my opinion. It is like Britney Spears trying to sell sexuality, when she is suppose to be a virgin. She is just selling a commercialized product that is void of any true meaning.
Madonna and Mariah are in two different catergories here. Madonna pushed a female sexuality revolution and media boundries. Madonna was the one to come out and say , "hey girls, its okay to be sexual and in charge". Madonna was not afraid of negative press, infact she welcomed it. Mariah has never done that. I am not saying she is bad or what not. She just has not pushed boundries like Madonna , so you can\'t compare the two. Mariah has always did what was popular at the moment. Nothing more. The woman can sing, she\'s a great singer, but still, she has done nothing very noticable. If you want to compare her to someone, you would need to compare her to Britney Spears, J-Lo or even Christina Augliera.
There is nothing wrong with Mariah selling sexulity, hey thats fine. At least she is probably expirenced in it (ha) unlike Britney Spears. Still, I can\'t say her current crop of songs are up to par with actual emotional music. Mature pop? Nah, more like bubble-gum pop.
Just my opinion though.
