Tommy Mottola also tried to end Mariah’s career by using Jennifer Lopez…Goes to show that even if H tried to use his popularity to get his way, it wouldn’t work. These business men see artists like Harry & Mariah as products to sell. If the product “malfunctions”, they will find another product to sell……& they’ll make sure the original product is too “tainted” to be sold elsewhere….Business men only respect other business men, not the products they sell.
Yes, exactly. I forgot about the stuff with Jennifer Lopez. Yes, absolutely, the minute the product is giving them trouble, they find a new product. But it's that same "if I can't have you, no one will" mentality. They'd rather destroy the product than let it go. Look at how Michael Jackson's legacy was destroyed. George Michael's career was never the same. Prince's career was never the same. They were HUGE stars. The labels don't care. They don't even need people with actual talent to replace them. Look at how successful AI artists are right now. It's all just fucking depressing.
