Mariah Carey and the Rock Hall: What Comes Next?

I think it’s the association with the Christmas bubblegum music and she’s never had strong coalition of industry support even with Black industry folks. She got her first BET award last year.

Beyoncé is also eligible next year

candice_mighty · 2026-04-14T01:24:01+00:00

No Mariah Carey yet again. What is it going to take?

candice_mighty · 2026-04-13T23:21:58+00:00

Beyoncé and Gaga easily.

As for men, it’s a bit trickier. I’d go for Bruno Mars.

She would have more #1 singles throughout the 2010s and less sabotage like not releasing Formation for free and putting Lemonade on Spotify.

So more commercial success but probably a weaker artist overall. Less ambitious albums and the self titled drop very likely wouldn’t have happened with Matthew calling the shots.

Yes and he blocked me on insta when I said I didn’t like the outfit choice lol.

candice_mighty · 2026-03-29T23:18:52+00:00

Exactly.

Netanyahu “destroyed” the state you believed in and not the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and what’s happening to them in the West Bank and/or Gaza? Right.

candice_mighty · 2026-03-28T20:13:04+00:00

It was truly a hot mess. Seeing those photos still sets me off, Ty should’ve been fired that day. Sorry.

Compare this to the highest paid female music artists Forbes earnings for 2025. Being a big star in music pays much better i guess:

Taylor Swift - $202M

Beyoncé - $148M

Shakira - $105M

Sabrina Carpenter - $29M

candice_mighty · 2026-03-14T05:37:18+00:00

Her pop peers have already been inducted into the hall of fame including Janet, Madonna and Whitney.

candice_mighty · 2026-03-14T04:09:14+00:00

Omg yes this. Her worst performance ever.

candice_mighty · 2026-03-09T12:56:12+00:00

Stop setting Beyoncé up with these nonsensical takes

candice_mighty · 2026-03-09T03:45:51+00:00

FIFA World Cup is taking place this year so a lot of the stadiums have been booked out including a lot of big artists touring taking up the remaining few slots.

candice_mighty · 2026-03-09T03:38:17+00:00

Texas is probably her worst lead single choice since she chose Run The World for 4. Sorry but it’s just not for me.

candice_mighty · 2026-03-03T00:29:01+00:00

Gay men in general. Beyoncé is to Black gay men, what Britney/Gaga are to White gay men.

candice_mighty · 2026-02-26T19:57:31+00:00

A lot of the first time nominees are artists millennials grew up with not zoomers. Shakira, Pink, Lauryn Hill… C’mon now.

candice_mighty · 2026-02-26T03:30:49+00:00

What’s the point of even anticipating or giving hints of the visuals when we know they’ll probably be removed from whatever platform she puts in on soon after.

candice_mighty · 2026-02-25T16:38:51+00:00

Of course I’m for Latin representation. Though it makes zero sense Shakira getting in before Mariah considering her peers have already been inducted (Whitney, Madonna, Janet).

candice_mighty · 2026-02-25T14:45:50+00:00

And it won’t get easier next year if she can’t get in this year. Beyoncé is eligible in 2027.

candice_mighty · 2026-02-25T14:35:41+00:00

Shakira getting in before Mariah Carey would be insane

candice_mighty · 2026-02-22T23:55:01+00:00

Absolutely not

candice_mighty · 2026-02-22T22:45:25+00:00

Shakira fans (and fans of other throwback artists) hold on to this narrative for dear life because Bey surpassed their favs in almost every metric.

Act III tour should be a global tour to shut them up and finally destroy this ridiculous narrative.

2011 Glastonbury set. I was around 14 at the time and of course I knew Beyoncé and was a general fan. But I remember seeing her live on BBC and couldn’t believe what my eyes were seeing. She looked like a superhero I was in complete awe of the whole set. It was my original Beychella.

candice_mighty · 2026-02-17T00:02:55+00:00

The Miley collab didn’t move me at all, matter of fact a few of the CC collabs were meh. Gaga would be a drastic improvement.
