Mariah Hangs Up on the BBC!

Filed under: Anglophilia > Mariah Carey

Mimi, doing her best Madonna "I'm a Brit" impression, was on Radio One on Sunday….and she got her knickers in a bunch when the radio host inadvertently said she's only sold 80 million records. Only!

She countered the number is closer to 160 million and then the call was mysteriously DROPPED.

Diva!

She was not rude. That dj was just stupid. Everybody knows she's sold waaaay over 100million records.

It's the UK. So, what do you expect. Horrible journalism, teeth and they don't wear deodorant. The land of Jade Goody.

Stupid. A second after this, the DJ said the line got cut off on their end.

Why is she "Mimi" now? >:l

I shall call her the artist formally known as Mariah Carey.
Danja says – reply to this

The interviewer should have done a little research. Was he reading a paper from 1998 or something??

Uh, duh . . . that was so obviously either a dropped call or faked. Perhaps Mariah needs to discuss it with Ashley Simpson's publicist.

Re: Bathog – # 9 is a fake. You are stalking me and you will be in big trouble when my mom calls a lawyer and you find out I am 14 and we get you for internet bullying because you used MY name!!!
mish says – reply to this

48

i think he said over not only. and i didnt catch the very last thing she said. something about is that the right quote and then i dont know what she said. anyway, pretty divalicious!
lol says – reply to this

49

I HIGHLY DOUBT she hung up on the guy…she's dealed with plenty of rude interviewers who ask her obnoxious questions. im sure the line just went dead.
Jason says – reply to this

50

I think it's pretty obvious that she didn't disconnect intentionally. I think you're trying to create unnecessary drama to fill some need to make Madonna seem superior. I'm sorry, but I don't see how there's this big rivalry between Madonna and Mariah Carey. They are two completely different artists. And if you look at Madonna's airplay figures for her new single, you'll see that there really is no comparison. Mariah is still relevant while Madonna has to create controversy to get attention (or beg successful contemporary artists to be on her lead single).

Re: …… –
hey dickhead not all us brits are like that..
and the DJ?His Name is Reggie Yates…all you know him as is "that DJ" he's legend over here, people can love mariah or hate her she doesn't care just get over it! and not all of us have bad teeth thankyou very much! and please do not lump me in the same category as Jade Goody, i'm ashamed to say i come from the same country as her
alex says – reply to this

52

I'm pretty sure he said "over" not "only". If you love the UK so much, Perez, why don't you learn to understand their accent better.
amelon says – reply to this

53

I can't stand the bitch but she clearly didn't do it on purpose…
amelon says – reply to this

54

what the hell you talking about Hannah? Reggie Yates a legend? Please don't talk bullshit. He's barely known.
English rose says – reply to this

55

Just to reiterate to the dumb american public who cant understand english, well it is your second language, behind ignorant Reggie said OVER, and i dont really like Mariah, but it did sound like she hung up by accident, however, in typical american style she was rude not to call back and apologise, stupid freak boobed slag that she is!
James says – reply to this

56

It was an accident. That's not like her at all to do something like that, I'm sure it was just a dropped call or something.

Bitch!! Dont mess with the Brits!!!
GAYS THAT HATE GASH says – reply to this

PEREZZY–

Honey–if I wrote copy for you… this is how I would do it for you. JUST TO LET YOU KNOW..I HATE THIS CUNT!!!!!!!!!!!

MANGY MUFF GETS MIFFED

This SLIT was on a phone interview with "Radio One." The DJ said albums sold by the SNATCH was 60 million. The GASH got all pissy and retorted that the number was more like 160 million. Then, the call was dropped.

WHO CARES ABOUTH THIS TRAILER TRASH ROTTEN CHEESE SMELLING TWAT.

And, MACY's won't be getting any of my dough while they have this CLIT in their stores!!!!!!!

Ms. says – reply to this

73

Re: …… –

I'm going to have to agree with that. The UK is really a country full of Jade Goody's. They love her over there. So, the fact that this DJ was clueless and ignorant isn't shocking. Ignorance and stupidity is the norm now. Just wish they'd work on their teeth and hygiene. You can be stupid and still brush your teeth and take a bath. The rest of the world can only hope……

What's wrong with Jade Goody? She's got one of the most popular fragrances, best selling books and she speaks her mind. Yes, a lot of Brits love her because she's one of us just like the DJ. We don't smell and we have ok teeth.

tellall says – reply to this

At least Mariah is not moving to the UK only to get a title from the Queen, like Madonna. Madonna is a whoring out. Big time. Totally transparent.
J L M says – reply to this

89

Well shit 160 mill is a huge accomplishment! If someone said Perez gets 3 million hits a day you would correct the person to the 10 million a day you claim! She worked hard and if she let that slide people would be running around saying she sold 80 mill. It's not a big deal Perez! Mad because you aint her!

94

Such a NON story. There is no animosity there at all. She didn't get annoyed she was like I'm not sure if that's right.

Plus it sounded pre-recorded, the way it ended, so it's probably completely fake anyway.
