She Thinks Ancient Is The Problem

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!

    Ultimate diva – Mariah and Lionel Richie.
    I’m a huge fan of Mariah but she’s got some bad press from her lacklustre, can’t be assed performances. Buck up your ideas Mariah!

    Lionel Richie and Mariah Carey.
    She’s the problem. Always is the problem. Retire already.

    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.

    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!

    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???

  25. 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

  26. 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.

  28. 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.

  29. 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

  31. 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”

  33. MissELace says

    Female Singer : Mariah Carey
    Ancient Male Singer : Lionel Richie

    Optional : People can’t trust her performances to be stage ready. She’s been lip syncing without the showmanship and mother of the time people wonder if she’ll even perform.

  34. charlottenc says

    Mariah Carey
    Lionel Richie

    Lionel does skew older but Mariah is incapable of putting on a dynamic, exciting show. Maybe they should have booked smaller venues.

  36. sassyjayhawk says

    Mariah
    Ancient:Lionel

    The problem is everyone is over Mariah and her diva behavior. They dropped ticket prices for their show in my town because no one is buying.

  43. 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

  44. 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!!!

  48. 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.

  49. TwistedSweetness says

    Ancient Male Singer: Lionel Richie. Ancient???? The man had knee surgery and went on tour! Ancient, he is not.

    What she needs to understand is, most people won’t pay for her lip syncing, they want the real thing.

  51. BadBadJan says

    Lionel Richie and Mariah Carey. That one was a head scratcher for me when it was first announced.

  52. 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.

  53. january13 says

    Mariah Carey & Lionel Richie

    Optional: I don’t know if Lionel has the fan base big enough to draw large numbers. I think the blind sums it up for Mariah. The clips of her more recent performances seem like she is just barely going through the motions.

  54. Pierre Latin says

    LADY GAGA AND THAT OLD MAN.

    optional: LADY GAGA LOOKS OLDER THAN HER AGE. SHE LOOKS BAD AND IN HER 40S.

  55. javelina says

    Kaycee Musgraves and Willie Nelson

    I didn’t even know they were doing a tour together until days after the concert was held in my city. Maybe they should lay off the bongs for a bit and do some publicity?

  57. caela94 says

    singer- Mariah
    Ancient- Lionel Ritchie

    Mimi you are pushing 50
    Tickets for New Jersey venue are on groupon

  60. colfaxcarol says

    Mariah Carey and Lionel Richie.

    They are both past their peak. I think they should try playing smaller venues and lowering ticket prices.

    Mariah blaming Lionel is a joke. At least he is professional and doesn’t embarrass himself in public.

  61. traherne says

    Mariah Carey and poor Lionel Ritchie.

    She’s delusional if she thinks she’s contemporary.

  67. pajuxy says

    Mariah and Lionel. If I went to that concert, it would be to see Lionel…and I’m younger than Mariah…so there’s my 2 cents.

  71. ariadne223 says

    Personally, I would rather see Lionel than Mariah. She’s been hemorrhaging fans and who knows if she’ll even do any actual live singing.

  72. DuncanCh says

    Female Singer: Mariah Carey

    Ancient Male Singer: Lionel Ritchie

    [Optional] What do you think is the problem?: Mariah obviously.

  73. 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.

  74. Peps66 says

    Mariah Carey

    Lionel Richie

    She’s the problem. She clearly doesn’t care about performing while Richie is an energetic and hardworking entertainer who actually appreciates the fans. Her ego is so off the charts it’s pathetic.

  76. Lea214 says

    Female Singer: Mariah Carey

    Ancient Male Singer: Lionel Richie

    [Optional] What do you think is the problem? She is delusional.

  80. sublimeLime says

    Mariah Carey
    Lionel Richie

    She’s the problem. He is still doing will on tour which is why HE is headliner.

  87. Blkgoddess says

    Mariah Carey and Lionel Richie

    The problems are her dwindling work ethic, lack of proper management on her end, her increasingly ridiculed public image, and lack of promotion of their tour.

  90. gailpow says

    Female Singer: Mariah Carey
    Ancient Male Singer: Lionel Richie
    Their joint tour together is not exactly setting the box office on fire.

  93. Laughing1 says

    This would be Mariah Carey and Lionel Richie. Tickets are apparently selling for as low as $10 bucks! LOL……..

  98. Mooseknuckle says

    Lionel and Mariah.

    Mariah needs to get over herself, or she’ll quickly turn into a has-been.
