  1. Thomas/ London/ UK Says:

    I could not agree more. While Mariah has proven over and over again her great approach and attitude towards work, Whitney disappoints with no-shows and rehab tours. Mariah has learnt from her flops while Whitney seems to curse them and dwell on them. WHITNEY WAKE UP! You need a speedy come-back and it better be P.H.I.E.R.C.E.!
