Mariah will always be at ease in the presence of other REAL SINGERS. She knows and respects Hudson's talent.

[@kirstieb8025]

i don’t know about that… perhaps only ones she feels comfortable with?

[@twize4916]

​@@kirstieb8025 she's definitely comfortable when around whitney houston. So stop with pushing people like madonna and jlo as singers

[@trinjuwan4422]

I agree. They are kindred spirits❤

[@bemdanlif]

When they acknowledged each other’s gentleness in the beginning of the video, I got teary eyed. It felt so genuine and emotional. Both of them are raw when they talk to each other. You can tell they truly respect each other.

[@Littlething41]

I noticed that too. Very special not just taking a compliment but giving it back in a genuine way.

[@jotjotzzz5357]

Mariah is aging so beautifully. Love her always.

[@ddjr6673]

I am not even sure she *is* aging at all! (I'm joking of course, because she looks so good - so yes, of course I agree lol!)

[@ziudra91]

@@ddjr6673 Age is just a number. People get born with good genes and can stay young for longer. We don't age and we will never age the same. Sure lifestyle plays a part but genes is your bread and butter.

[@ddjr6673]

@@ziudra91 I agree - my 92 year old mother looks tremedous still!

[@WhitePrivilegeDoesntExistButVi]

Her sister and brother didn't age so well or maybe they didn't have money like her.

[@iamheatheranne]

I like how Mariah is one of the few female celebrities who haven't filled her lips with fillers. Her lips looks natural and it's so refreshing.

[@guilhermegamer]

I loved the interview and all, but keep thinking what EPIC moment it would be with Whitney there too. 😢😂❤

[@marquesbell4178]

Don't make us Whitney fans start crying. We've suffered enough.😢

[@bobbytrevino2066]

Mariah is the greatest she is just so down to earth and relatable

[@sidardtayenjam7222]

Love how everyone in your version of earth, everyone is filthy rich and acts like a diva 😊😊😊😊

[@bluedragon4]

Down to earth?!!!! I like Mariah but she is not down to earth.

[@rishthefish7781]

You sound like a big a*s fool talking about Mariah being down to earth

[@nvwcj22]

One of the best interviews I've seen of Mariah. She likes Jennifer & Jennifer is very respectful of her guests.

Mariah is a humble queen!!!

[@virginbrain_]

Are you sure about that?😂

[@Eddy6159]

@@virginbrain_are you sure she’s not? You know how worse most people would be if they had half of her talent?

[@DrivingAway1]

and TALENTED

[@ThanurshanRajarajan]

@@Eddy6159 exactly She is a Diva but a humble one at that , cause you can clearly see how her aura exudes with positivity and love when she’s around her people and she is lovely to her fans unlike these half baked Biebers acting a fool when they have fame but with zero talent. Mariah is a legend!!! She is the one of the most humble among her cohorts.

[@videorgios_7495]

Mariah seems so peaceful and happy…. Love Jennifer tooo and can’t wait for a collab ❤❤❤

[@carlotta8891]

That!!!

[@adrianmedina6174]

Love them! Mariah is such a down to earth person and people don’t see that! Her look has been on point, her voice has been great but I see nothing but sadness in her face. I hope she pulls through whatever she’s going through. Lambs see it, I’m not the only one.

[@flamesniper126]

She does look sad. Eyes truly don’t lie

[@rabt5926]

Yes, even at her opening night of the Xmas Tour she looks like she is not here.

[@flamesniper126]

@@rabt5926 yeah I saw that

[@rebypebscarol6521]

Lambily here-- forever.Mariah's not sad, she's just an insomniac.She sleeps during mornings and afternoons.On talk shows she might look like this as she has to get up to fly or travel to these shows, get ready for make up and all that.

[@rebypebscarol6521]

Actually, if you look more , she has the most joyful look out of all other stars. She also is an expert on makeup.She likes to use the "sleepy effect" for seductive results just like her idol,Marilyn Monroe so it looks like she is not being joyful to a handful of people who do not know that much about her.

[@daniterry4922]

This makes me love Mariah so much more❤❤❤✨✨✨

[@willienelson412]

Not sure if that's a compliment 🤔

[@zlamelie]

You can tell immediately that Mariah let down her usual guard and is super real cause she loves and respects Jennifer.

[@nikkomerriweather4165]

I just love their energy of kindness and love along with their friendship ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-is7ey9of5z]

She acts like she's on something

[@AshleyS60]

Quite literally the most legendary, ethereal and gorgeous woman in the industry. Mariah's so insanely iconic I don't think proper words exist to describe her....we're truly blessed to have to be living in her time 💖💖💖

[@bperez8656]

She’s no longer ethereal. Her voice doesn’t deliver the same But fly like a bird Omg ETHEREAL!

[@alterbria]

As much as people try to diminish her by calling her a Diva (which she is, in the best meaning of the word!), it has always stood out to me how Mariah has always referred to other great singers like Aretha, Patti or Whitney with so much respect. As great as she unquestionably is, she has always been humble enough to acknowledge and praise other artists that she's either worked with or inspired her. I trust her judgement, which is why J-Lo has always felt suspicious to me and all the recent news about her horrific behavior made Mimi's resentment toward her make sense to me. I love Mariah, love her discography and love to see her with another kind, humble and gentle soul such as Jennifer Hudson ♡

[@Jawannalewis]

I love to see black women supporting each other! They gave such good compliments to each other awwww 🥰🥰

[@jordansthoughts54]

Love you MC ❤️ !!! Black girls rock ❤️

[@abigailemory4895]

I think so too! I'm not black, but I've actually wished that I could be temporarily, lol

[@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024]

[@crystalsherman8896]

I'm such a fan of both these incredible and talented women. I'm so happy for them especially Jennifer Hudson

[@SueChef100]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@riritheedon8967]

Mariah is one the best to ever do it 🥰🥰🥰

[@coyo5854]

She should do a reality show: Mariah Gets her License

[@AUDACITY4Uphotographer]

I love that idea. I’d like to see her do a road trip with Jennifer. Imagine the car karaoke 🎤

[@faithoffaith]

Yes I'd love Mariah to have her own talk show. It would be good coz she could have full creative control and make it hers. Might even help with her confidence a bit.

[@candyKane117i]

@@AUDACITY4Uphotographer that's such a brilliant idea 😂

[@jamaulezra5049]

And Cardi B should be a guest

[@Henry-cf4oo]

I'm with Mariah on the driving. If I can be driven around, I'll take it over driving myself places.

[@dann-elsmith2402]

I can’t lie, I’ve been w/o my license for a while now & it was pretty easy to adjust to being driven. That said, it’s the waiting & there are a couple restrictions when needing to make multiple stops & stuff due to local taxis and of course, costs. Although, I’m sure having a private car & driver is more so what you meant..LoL

[@karinec.2131]

Imagine being chummy with your singing idol. Jennifer deserves her flowers as well !

[@trieagustiyo4924]

I love how the conversation is like 2 friends talking ❤

[@popland1977]

She looks stunning, glowing skin, great hair, honestly she looks late 30s but she’s mid 50s. However, I’m not sure if she’s sad or unwell? Something seems off

[@Tlb008]

Something is definitely off

Except Jennifer Lopez she dont lnow her😂

[@plaintalk186]

Oh please. She is a whole facade and Jennifer was def over embellishing with be kind and gentle. She is haughty. Someone could be quiet but passive aggressive; and she strikes me as a passive aggressive person.

I remember when the fan went on Mariah’s stage. She was shading her security for letting that happen and then she actually hugged the fan and blocked the security from getting to him. it was hilarious. It was in Monaco in 2012 I think during the song Hero. 😂 Edit: it was right after she performed Hero. The concert was over and she was thanking the audience and was about to get off the stage.
