NaughtyVegan I wonder how many millions $ was she given for this performance?

Your American golfer Dustin Johnson just claimed the title at Saudi International! Hypocrisy?

I’m so filled with joy the KarenAttiah has been ignored like sh*t

mikealbeland Does anyone seriously think these folk give a hoot? Money is everything, because they are not 'artists,' but rather products who sing standardized stuff, like little music boxes.

The money and royal treatment are too good.

Yeah, seriously... what is your major malfunction?

Tell that to your government!

Opinion: Mind your own business and stop trying to politicise our reforms in the entertainment, Mariah Carey is a singer who came for her fans and for people to enjoy, she is no politician.

Your govts roll out the red carpet for its leaders, let Mariah make something to eat!!! Sing on shorty... ....

The lure of money.

... I'm surprised they haven't executed her for the way she dresses there yet

Dear Clinton, stop taking $ from there.

Me saying for years: The ChopChop Wahabbits have to be sidelined by decent nations.

But $

Dear : Instead of worrying about irrelevant celebs, maybe you should talk about our politicians that openly take campaign contributions from the Saudis.

縦書き英語

Despite of the “opinion” she will perform and she said”it’s a step forward” .

You know how much they charge for singing at private parties?

Will they allow her to be half naked?

MariahCarey shame you can’t stand up for what is right & are willing to sell yourself to mbs

And what's with Mila Kunis voicing Meg Griffin milakunis

How about you focus on your own countries SEVERE issues before you point out issues with another country?SA could also easily list 10 things wrong with America and tell everyone not to perform there. The hypocrisy of the US is funny af. Mariah is performing music to fans thats it

WaPo is a propagandists & dictator! Our leaders in SaudiArabia are bringing for us opportunities for education, entertainment, investments and jobs While the crazy Washingtonpost is fighting against Saudi people as a forign dictator!! BoycottAmazon

Before you fall off that high horse, pen a letter to Uncle Sam and the SUV loving American public. Arms sales and oil consumption are the reasons they can say f*ck you to the world.

Of they pay you,they will come

Pays well

Thank you MariahCarey for the lovely night 🇸🇦❤️ A great song should lift your heart, warm the soul and make you feel good. Colbie Caillat

😂😂😂

It's the pleasure of all Muslims to stop performing near Holy Cities.

Money’s waaay too good. Greed is a mutha. Especially to limousine liberals.

Yeah, perform in Virginia instead. What’s a little Infanticide and kkk minstrel shows between friends?

Here’s an idea, why don’t you worry about the politics and leaders of your own country first before you impose moralistic political obligations on an artist. Because Mariah performed there, women were able to attend a concert without segregation but with unity. Lay off of her.

No streeeess, no fights I'm leavin' it all behind No (teeeeears😢)😂, no time to [cry😭]😂 Just makin' the most of life.. Mariah Carey 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Look to all those fans of MariahCarey in Saudi Arabia amazing

From the videos I watched of her show there, she actually rocked! I hope she got to sing Hero or Always Be My Baby no wait Love Takes Time? Bye.. Got some karaoke to do!

They perform there for the same reason bank robbers rob banks, that's where the money is.

Its a sad story, in human history since long, there had been innumerable artisans, who perform for materials. But when they perform in jungles ( in perspective to Civil Culture ) they hide the actual purpose in the name of humanity etc., !

Amen

Nobody cares about this WaPo...except you.

Are you trying to convince me that she sings free in America and goes looking for money in Saudi Arabia? she is a wealthy woman before she goes to Saudi Arabia

Not gonna happen. Greed tops patriotism and loyalty every day in America.

It’s all about the big $$$$$$$

jlo is the Dubai queen. Sickening.

How can anyone disagree with blaming an artist for sharing her craft and not the politicians who support our pseudo, desperately-deniable proxy war in Yemen? Unless, of course, Mariah isn't selling arms.

You sound like your papa owns that shit

she looks different

Let's get down to brass tacks. When you get paid to perform and someone will pay your price. YOUR price, then it's a great opportunity to increase your bank account. Just like when Beyoncé had a $50,000 suite for sale at her Dallas concert. You buying?

Perhaps celebs from other countries should follow suit and stop performing in the Trumpist, racist, and xenophobic USA.

MariahCarey's opening cameo in that Pop Star movie with AndySamberg tells this story

Why would they believe in only themselves and Money

Why do you hate people of color (POC)? SJWlogic

What about asking your government to atop doing deals with KSA instead? What a way to be irrelevant.

It’s not entertainers’ obligation to make a political stance against tyranny... it should be our government’s.

Also stop performing in Manila, it makes you support the murderous govt of Duterte.

Don't you see what's going on here? GTFOH

$$$elling out 🇺🇸! MariahCarey!👆🏼

WaPo still has not explained why the frightened, now martyred, Khashoggi did not go to the consulate in the United States. He had residency status.

it's all about the green and being the diva. Its all about Mariah Carey
