Each generation has a voice that convincingly conveys past tribulations, contemporary triumphs and future aspirations; throughout the 1990's the voice of Jamaica has been Mark Anthony Myrie, better known to Reggae fans as Buju Banton. Buju has dominated Jamaican music with a rough gravel yet keenly melodic deejay (the Jamaican equivalent of a rapper) delivery, transcending the parameters of Dancehall Reggae and servicing as a globally embraced artistic paradigm for the 21st century. The wide ranging musical styles and sophisticated lyrical concerns Buju embraces throughout UNCHAINED SPIRIT (his debut release for Epitaph subsidiary Anti Inc.) will certainly resonate with fans regardless of racial, cultural and socio economic backgrounds.

 Mariah Carey’s Stats

Age 42
Net Worth $500 million USD

There is no doubt that Mariah Carey has paid her dues in the ever-so-changing music industry. Selling over 144 million records worldwide, Carey has done and seen it all. She is credited with signing the largest recording contract in history worth a reported $100 million. She also was the first to break a record that Elvis Presley held for the highest amount of number one singles on the Billboard Charts. Mariah Carey’s first album was platinum-certified nine times by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). What’s considered a commercial flop for Mariah Carey? Her Glitter Soundtrack, which went platinum only once. Most artists are lucky to receive a gold certification. Her single “We Belong Together” from her eighth studio album The Emancipation of Mimi stayed atop the Billboard charts Hot 100 for 14 weeks. Surprisingly, Carey has been nominated 6 times at the BET Awards and 7 times at the MTV Video Music Awards, but never won an actual award from any of these entities. On a tangent, would an artist deserving of a Grammy Award certainly qualify for a MTV Award? Despite this, Carey has been nominated a total of 442 times in her career and has won 249 awards. Source

 By now, the world can’t seem to get away from the drama developing on the set ofFox’s American Idol. Earlier in the week, footage of the 12th season Idol judges Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey was released via gossip blog TMZ showing a highly upset Minaj addressing Carey with all sorts of profanity and threats.

Apparently, Minaj began ranting when she felt she was being disrespected by Carey during a routine contestant audition. Upon leaving the set, Minaj allegedly said that she would shoot Carey if she had a gun.

In the following days, Idol executives would release statements denying the allegations saying, "This is one of the best, most passionate, dynamic and invested judging panels we've ever had. We love and support all of the judges and the fantastic work they are doing, and we can't imagine a better group to find the next American Idol. Despite all the accusations and media speculation - much of which is inaccurate - production is going extremely well today and the judges are focused on finding the best talent here in Baton Rouge."

However, Carey would contradict the statements when she was photo’d with bulked up security after an Idol photo shoot that took place in Baton Rouge, LA. Then, The View host Barbara Walters read a statement that insisted Carey was indeed concerned, “She said she is very concerned, she's with her twins, she doesn't feel that anything would happen, but Nicki is unpredictable and Mariah says she can't take a chance and has hired extra security.”

To top it off, Minaj responded to the hoopla with several tweets:

‘I don't call tmz n Barbara Walters cuz I stand on my own two feet. Never needed an army. God is good. Insecurity is as cruel as the grave. I guess it hurts 2 have the producers tell u to ur face that nicki is the best judge we've had since simon. Awww, poor u. Keep them lies cmn.’

Ceelo Green, Steven Tyler, and Keith Urban have all publicly expressed their opinions about the ongoing spat, with both Green and Tyler suggesting that it was all part of a publicity stunt in an effort for the show to garner more ratings.

Whether it’s a PR stunt or the two accomplished divas truly dislike each other, one thing is for certain that it’s working! While critics question the authenticity of the fight between Minaj and Carey, legions of fans are waging a war of words online on who is the better entertainer between the two music divas.

Some fans feel that Minaj is not qualified to be on Idol because she hasn’t been in the spotlight for as long as Carey. However, others feel that Minaj is just what Idol needs to pull in new viewers and revive the show. Simultaneously, fans have expressed that Carey is a legend and highly qualified for the role. While others have expressed that there is a possibility that Carey’s ego may have gotten the best of her. That leaves some to question, who is the better artist for American Idol? Let’s leave it to the statistics to determine that. Source
