About Lee from USA: I love mimi

CDC (36,635) by Lee from USA So, Mimi should have stayed single, childless and miserable until 2012, right? She shouldn't have to hit #1 all of the time to please us or any pundits. There have been artists that went decades without a hit and no pundits screamed about them yet. I personally like Nick Cannon because he's loyal to her, unlike Derek Jeter who dumped her as soon as he got on a hitting slump. People may bitch about his videos, but I liked them over anything that Hype Williams did for her lately. And last time I checked, Nick didn't choose the singles. I think all the griping about his videos is really about Mimi marrying Nick in the first place. (Wednesday 31 October 2012; 15:22)

One problem, TJ (36,446) by Lee from USA Madonna pretty much threw her goodies to anyone in the 1990s. She slept with any man (and woman) in order to keep her name in the tabloids and made porn. In 1997, Madonna was not a legend, but an established star. It's hypocritical to condemn Mimi for saying Madge needing controversy when the press and public said the same thing for years. Meanwhile, Mimi kicked ass in the 1990s without sleeping with God-knows-who. To compare Mimi's honest criticism to Nicki's disrespect is asinine. (Sunday 7 October 2012; 23:01)

Other legends aren't nice, so why should Mimi be? (36,428) by Lee from USA Didn't Mimi earned the respect of other musicians and the public already? Aretha looks down upon younger artists all of the time and people still gives her respect. Madonna bullied Lady Gaga for years, and people respect her as a legend. KRS-One rips into other rappers at times yet nobody posted anything about it. But Mimi has to be nice? Really? (Friday 5 October 2012; 21:15)

Another thing (36,419) by Lee from USA So Nicki is crying about Mimi's "lying" about death threats. Why would she lie to anyone? First, Nicki has a track record of disrespect and tirades. If you all don't believe me, ask Mo'Nique (and a whole lot of DJs and other rappers) and watch that "My Time Is Now" documentary. Then, she goes on Twitter ranting and raving about it. RIP Nicki Minaj's career 2009-2013. (Thursday 4 October 2012; 22:09)

I see it this way (36,402) by Lee from USA How did a female rapper with little competition became a judge anyways? I am tired of being spoon-fed this bullmess about Minaj being the "queen of hip-hop" when she is the only female rapper in the game. All of her "rivals" are either going to jail, getting out of jail, or just irrelevant. (Wednesday 3 October 2012; 16:45)

All I said was that (36,304) by Lee from USA Clive Davis did not do that great of a job handling Whitney Houston's addiction. He pushed her into doing a world tour that she wasn't ready for and she ended up relapsing. Clive didn't have her back two years ago when she was getting blasted by concertgoers and the press. My point was that we cannot bitch about the people around Mimi and endorse managers that love artists only when they succeed. We should give Randy a shot before screaming for his head.

Tommy would be great but... (36,297) by Lee from USA He didn't do much without Mimi. I mean, she won more Grammys without Tommy than she did with him. How come he did nothing with Thalia or Lindsey Lohan? Hell, Sony practically threw him out! As for Clive Davis, why would she need someone like the man who destroyed Phyllis Hyman and Whitney Houston? Whitney still had drugs in her system when she died, so clearly Clive Davis did not get her off of drugs. (Friday 7 September 2012; 1:21)

Bad song is death sentence? Really? (36,277) by Lee from USA All of these other old-school artists (and hall of famers) put out worse songs than that and nobody is writing or saying anything. Yet one bad song from Mimi is an automatic death sentence. Really? Compared to all of the drug addictions, cheating scandals, and criminal acts, our girl is in good shape. I have no respect for Twitter comments because they change from negative to positive on a drop of a hat. (Thursday 6 September 2012; 16:34)

She should sing whatever she deems best (36,260) by Lee from USA If she sound great, then that's all that matters. And another thing, why are the tabloids trying to break up her happy marriage? (Monday 3 September 2012; 16:28)

Here comes Perez Hilton (36,106) by Lee from USA I mean, this guy is an idiot. When things are going wrong for Mimi, he would not hesitate to trash her. When things are going right, either he makes snarky comments or does not care. Another thing that irks me is this notion that Mimi has to be #1 all of the time. There are tons of artists that are her age or older who struggled to break into the Top 40, and they don't catch hell over it. Hell, MDNA is struggling on the album charts, but he won't write about that. (Friday 24 August 2012; 21:51)
