Some people go 'mental' for Mariah Carey..?

Like artist. Like fans..

You are who your heroes are? hmmm.. sometimes.
You are what you eat. You are who (most of )
your friends are. You could be as your idol
is then. And clueless as the artist?

Just wonder sometimes about it.

I met some great people before. And they were
Amy Grant die-hards. lolz..

Jun :

Sarcasm. At my worst..
I had a close friend who was a Carey lookalike.
I thought it was cool. Especially when Belle (not
her real name) seemed to act like Carey does too.
Boy, talk about dressing the same as the celeb
you look like without even knowing it. hehe..

But the fun ended when my 'Carey pal' went south
for the border herself. And within the same close
time period after Carey had her 'mental' problem.

I think both of them gave themselves (and their pals)
problems that were mostly of their own making.

Everytime I read anything about Carey and her 'mental
breakdown she had before I remember Belle and her own
emotional circus I had to deal with at the unholiest
hours for a period.

Its an experience I wouldn't want my worst critic to
live through. Excuse my sarcasm. There may be that lesson
here- you might become what your friends (idols) are.

And if they are one big emotional and confused mess
you the one being just a good concern friend might
end up becoming your friend.

In Carey's case, I seen alot of her fans posts go
off a few deep ends when she first lost it and some
fans felt they kept some emotional mental bond with
her. Too many over-the-top defensiveness from Carey's
fans wasn't a good thing to see. We have our own
'fans' who are uh, interesting on the Regine lists.
But most of them have been sensible thinking people.
Not as many badly insecure fans with us.

mmJun ;-/

I'll erase this thread next time.
Sorry again. Happens only with M.C. sometimes.
