EXCLUSIVE!
[Blind Gossip] These two famous singers teamed up for a project… but she is blaming him for their lack of success!
They stopped speaking to each other. She blames him for the tepid ticket sales. She thinks that he and his fans are just too old. She says, “I’m contemporary. He’s ancient.” The irony is that she didn’t want to pair up with anyone hotter or younger than her on the tour, so this is what she got!
Sounds like they are really not enjoying life on the road together. However, contractual obligations mean that they are stuck with each other for the time being!

Mariah Carey (Ugh) and Lionel Richie
I am a fan of both of their music but Mariah is so lost in fantasy. She truly has no idea how she is perceived and nothing is EVER her fault in her own blown up mind. Touring with her would be a nightmare. I think she lost a lot of fans after her reality show and her NYE performance. It was the final straw.
mpizzle says
I agree.
I know soooooo many people who aren’t ‘fans’ of hers but would still pay to see her. The problem is, they’ve done so and her shows are RUBBISH. Cheap graphics, boring dancers, crappy costumes. urgh.
I’m a huge lamb and always have been. Probably always will be. But her concerts aren’t worth the money. I only ever go to see her tangents – where she gets cross at the production team for their mistakes (*eye roll*) etc.

I would agree it’s Lady Gags and Tony Bennett cheek to cheek tour. People who loves Tony Bennett is unlikely to want to hear Lady Gaga , and people are who are into Lady Gaga’s music are unlikely to want to hear Tony Bennett.

Tony Bennett
Their target audiences were too different.
yo1774 says
Curiously that pair worked really well together. Maybe because she really admires him.
This is about Mariah and Lionel. Mariah was the ultimate diva of her time (in a good sense) but she needs to understand she is not at her prime anymore.
People like The rolling stones or Bruce Springsteen, or Elton John did their transition to not so in fashion but with a lot of fans gracefully. Others like Madonna are having a tough time adjusting to the new reality

FiyahHotFlashy says
Mariah Carey and Lionel Richie
Mimi is the ISSUE! I wouldn’t mind spending $$ to see Lionel but that woman is a turn off. Lionel attracts a diverse, older crowd. Friends that have seen him in the past had a great time and he delivered. I have friends going to the show this weekend and its because the tickets were cheap and they are die hard Lionel fans …practically giving them away. Lionel DESERVES BETTER!

MaryQuiteContrary says
Mariah Carey
Lionel Richie
I’d love to hear him but I cringe at the thought of listening to her. He’s a legend and she’s a diva who thinks too much of herself. Lionel is one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time, what’s she done???
ILoveNutella says
Just cos you don’t like mariah doesn’t mean she hasn’t done anything for music.
Unlike whitney, celine and beyonce, Mariah has actually written her songs and she’s written 16 out of her 18 number 1s. she’s the only diva that writes her own songs. she originally wrote Hero for Gloria Estafan. she is a real songwriter. Vision of love, someday etc where on her demo tape and written when she was 16 before she got signed which is proof that she actually writes her own songs.
mpeggers says
ILoveNutellam- She like most other singers has writing partners. They tend to do the heavy lifting while the singers change a few things and then add their names to the credits. Also many singers who like to say they write their own songs tend to have ghost writers.
Ben Margulies wrote every hit on her debut album including Vision of Love. Not Mariah.
sabrina325 says
Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie?
angelbratt says
Clue: they were stuck together; they did a song called dancing cheek to. cheek. Also, the fact that he is ancient, is a clue
spaceship says
Lionel Richie has a song called “Stuck On You”……the words in the blind says they’re “stuck” with each other.
jj the great says
The only thing I can think of is Mariah Carey and Lionel Ritchie, (plus the “similar” is a blind about Mariah as well) but I thought that tour wrapped a few months back, before Summer began.

jojo5282 says
Obviously Lionel Richie and Mariah Carey. I am not a MC fan. I actually like Lionel Richie more but I have no interest in seeing her. Their music is very different and I never saw them as a good combo.
super sleuth says
Female Singer: Mariah Carey
Ancient Male Singer: Lionel Richie (his song “Stuck on You” is one of the clues)
[Optional] What do you think is the problem? Obviously, Mariah Carey. Also, Lionel did an “all the hits” tour on his own a few years back, which was really well received. For me personally, that tour was recent enough that it doesn’t make sense to see Lionel again and I have no desire to see Mariah Carey. She should have quit showbiz before she became the laughing stock she…

Mariah Carey and Lionel Ritchie.
What’s the problem? Pfft… I’m betting Mariah is?! Still thinks she is 20 years old, her mirror must be a fairground one
NativeAtlantaGirl says
Mariah & Lionel Richie
Their tickets for the Atlanta show were on Groupon for $17.
I actually would have paid $17 to see Lionel. Mariah would have to pay me $170 to endure her “performance”

Carlicakes says
Mariah Carey and Lionel Richie!
I don’t think her fans care to see her perform live anymore because they know that putting on a good show for them isn’t a priority anymore. Lazy is right… and her voice isn’t what it once was
ILoveNutella says
@Carlicakes, you are wrong. her fans me included had planned on booking plane tickets and all that to see her but we ain’t going to do all that, spend all that money and effort to see mariah for 30 minutes. the problem is her fanbase isn’t into lionel and lionels fanbase isn’t into mariah so at the moment a bunch of us mariah fans are waiting for her to announce a tour just herself where she performs for 2 hours. her fans aren’t going to travel and spend money to see her for 30 minutes.
missluv60 says
The problem is, not enough fanfare or promotion for the tour. Also, we are just TIRED of Mariah!! Hell she looks like she’s tired of Mariah!! LOL!!! And Lionel he ain’t been hot since Brenda whooped that ass!!!

with a twist says
To expand on my comment, I was always very impressed with her talent in her earlier career. But she is so desperate for attention and over-the-top with her diva persona in the last several years that she has really tarnished entire legacy with that. It’s a shame.
zappy2050 says
This sounds like Mariah Carey and Lionel Richie. I must admit I thought this was an odd pairing. Bruno Mars and Mariah Carey makes more sense but Mariah is a nut.
TwistedSweetness says

PrettyOffal says
Female Singer: Kacey Musgraves
Ancient Male Singer: Willie Nelson
Clue: “enjoying life on the road” = On The Road Again by Willie Nelson
Kacey has a smaller fan base who are the younger stoner type of country fans. They aren’t big money spenders. Blaming it on Willie, who has more fans and whose main demographic is (now)middle class 40+ who are spenders is ridiculous. If this is them, it’s a shame. Ironically, Kacey is one of the only contemporary acts I’d paid to see. Not now.

Not surprised. some tea from mariah fans.
when it was first announced. mariah fans knew it was a bad idea because the fanbases of both lionel and mariah are different. Mariah fans are not interested in lionel and lionels fans aren’t interested in mariah. Fans have been confused on why mariah would agree to do a tour with someone who has a different fanbase. some fans have sent hate messages to mariah’s manager about it and got blocked by her manager. lol

Maybe if she could actually sing like she did back in the day, and actually performed the choreography she was given instead of half assing her performances, more people would be motivated to see her? Take some responsibility Mariah.
thisisannoying says
To add on, I’m surprised so many people even pay to her in concert as it is. She hasn’t sung well for years.
thisisannoying says
Pay to see her*..
ILoveNutella says
@thisisannoying. you think she hasn’t sung well in years cos you only know this by the few bad performances you’ve seen that’s gone viral? mariah’s an inconsistent performer. when she is having a good day. she is almost as good as her prime. 2 years ago, i went to 6 mariah shows in the space of 3 weeks. 1/6 was unbelievable fantastic. 1/6 of the shows was completely horrible. this was over the space of 3 weeks so it’s a very short space of time but very different experiences
KCeagle says
Mariah Carey
Lionel Richie
Mariah is delusional. Mimi hasn’t been relevant for almost a decade now. Her latest releases and projects have all crashed and burned. She should have known better than to partner herself with a performer who was obsolete even before the 80’s were over.
Mariah’s ego and insecurity have inflicted further deterioration, her failing pipes notwithstanding. She should’ve paired up with someone closer in age and modernity.

Totally Mariah’s fault. She’s lazy when she performs. She can’t hit her high notes like she used to. She’s a waste of money to buy on ticket sales. The girl doesn’t know how to put on a show. I’d rather listen to her old albums from the 80’s/90’s.

Mimi and Lionel Ritchie. He is s total professional and she is anything but. I’d rather see him tour with his bestie Kenny Rodgers. They are pure magic together.
jrgius says
Lionel would’ve done fine without her, just play smaller venues. I blame the promoter #1, and Ritchie for going along with the idea. Mariah is a mess and hooking your star to her wobbly-wagon is a recipe for disaster.
Asai84 says
Mariah and Lionel. Truth is she’s a train wreck! And no one wants to see her moving like a paraplegic on stage.

Young(?): Mariah Carey
Ancient: Lionel Richie
I saw them in concert at the Hollywood Bowl. They couldn’t have been more different. She lurched embarrassingly around the stage on stripper heels that she couldn’t walk (much less dance) in, in one of the most self-consciously awkward performances that I have EVER seen. He, on the other hand, was a consumate showman that got the audience up on their feet dancing, and singing along. No wonder she doesn’t want to be there…..too much contrast.
