regardless what y’all think, facts are facts. all the other R&B hits took months to catch on, whereas burning blue was one of the very FEW songs to be a commercial hit straight out of the gate. y’all just wanna move the goalpost because y’all don’t like mariah.
Mariah the Scientist on “Burning Blue” being shut out of the Grammys:
“I don’t want to say I expected a nomination, but when I wasn’t included, I was like, ‘Well damn, what do you need?’ It went gold [in three months]. It debuted on the [Hot 100] at #25 — ain’t nobody doing that these days, especially not Black artists. It was kind of a slap in the face, but they don’t owe me anything. I don’t know those people.”
