I hear what ya’ll are saying about parts of Europe and their perception of her… but it’s like she said herself… if she was to buy into people’s negativity about her… where would she be?!
Mariah has devoted lambs all over the world so that’s one thing not a lot of people have. Secondly, I bet you people in Germany and Belgium sing AIWFC as loud as anywhere else on the planet. It’s true Mariah could put more effort into Europe and get some puff pieces written to turn around any existing negativity about her there.. and Mabye she would and Mabye she will. But if she doesn’t… her legend is complete. So don’t sweat it.
it’s weird in the UK she definitely had a critical resurgence since 2018 and then the tides turned a bit with the whole Roc Nation story recently but… it’s her teams job to handle that, not ours.
she IS revered the world over but she’s also a controversial character and guess what, that makes her super relevant which quite honestly has always been one of her goals. No-one including Beyoncé and Riri (their downturns will come believe me!) had maintained their relevancy and still shifts PRODUCT like she does. The proof is in the pudding. Her 19th No. 1 hit. Her sold out concerts across Europe at Xmas. Her No.1 best selling auto biography. I think she’s doing just fine and I don’t think she has any sleepless nights about what some hack in Germany or Belgium is saying about her in a newspaper column (not that anyone reads newspapers anymore anyway) They will be ones like you said RAVING about her when she’s gone. But she has plenty more across the globe who rave about her now when she’s very much still with us so pay them fools no mind. And let’s lookout for how many more opinions she can sway this Xmas with what she has planned!
