087 - Mariah Carey - Glitter (with Scott Kurland)

  • Summary

  • R&B singer/songwriter Mariah Carey enjoyed a prolonged period of critical and commercial success throughout the 90s, during which she enjoyed multiple Billboard Hot 100 hits and sold millions upon millions of records. The 00s on the other hand were a brief stumbling point for the legendary performer; her involvement in the 2001 box office bomb Glitter and its subsequent soundtrack made her a polarizing and controversial figure, and coupled with the media's reaction to a public mental breakdown she had been going through, it nearly destroyed her career if not for 2005's mega-comeback The Emancipation of Mimi. Though she would recover her reputation, the failure of Glitter continued to be a yoke around her neck years later.

    On a new season of Jukebox Zeroes, Lilz and Patrick welcome Scott Kurland back to the podcast to talk about the soundtrack to Glitter, and Mariah Carey in general. Join them for some frank discussion about retrospective guilt, mental health awareness, reckoning with behaviors back during the 00s, and Mystikal's weird pride in soiling his under-drawers.
