In a recent video, Mariah Carey has unveiled her candid assessment of the Grammys. The legendary singer behind hits like "Always Be My Baby" made a guest appearance on Pitchfork's YouTube series "Over/Under," where she delved into various pop culture icons, encompassing Labubu dolls, Crocs footwear, and the festive season of Christmas.
Throughout the video, Mariah, who has garnered only five Grammy Awards despite her illustrious career, with her last nomination dating back 16 years, expressed her unwavering stance on the prestigious award ceremony. When prompted about the apex music award show, the vocal powerhouse behind "Obsessed" bluntly remarked, "I believe the Grammys are overhyped."
Mariah further elaborated, clarifying that her critique encompassed both the event and the accolade itself. Intriguingly, the American singer-songwriter added a touch of diplomacy by saying, "But we hold dear affection for everyone involved."
Elsewhere in the episode, Mariah accentuated that Billboard charts are "underappreciated." With passion in her voice, the "Emotions" chanteuse stated, "They hold immense significance for me. Hence, I assert that they are underappreciated, as not everyone navigates through that realm."
Moreover, Mariah shared her perspective on world records, which she deemed "underrecognized." The songstress also touched upon social media, labeling it as "somewhat overhyped." However, she generously conceded, "We all partake in its allure, albeit it is an overwhelmingly colossal entity."
Meanwhile, the "Fantasy" songbird highlighted the universal adoration for Labubu dolls and revealed her nascent fondness for Crocs. She even bestowed the title of "so underappreciated" upon Christmas.
