I will admit that I was not a huge fan of Mariah Carey for quite some time. That is, until Cindy and I got into a heated discussion one day about the talents of one of her favorite singers. For the purpose of this blog post, I won't delve into my very important reasons as to why I'm a Beyonce guy instead of Mariah.
If I remember correctly, Cindy and I were driving back to her apartment when a song by Mariah came on the radio. I moved to change the station and was quickly told to back away from the dial. I explained that I was not a fan, and Cyn gave me quite a tongue lashing. It lasted for the whole trip home, up the stairs of her building, and into the apartment as well.
Cindy felt she was not only a great singer, but a great songwriter as well. Our talk eventually led to a nice conversation about creativity and individualism. While I wouldn't say I was absolutely convinced that day, I did feel that anyone who could impress Cindy so much was worth giving a chance. Eventually I think I conceded the win to her.
So now whenever Mariah Carey comes on the radio, I don't even dare think about changing the station. I make sure to listen to the whole song and imagine that Cindy is singing right next to me. I usually laugh a bit as it reminds me of that fiery debate and how passionate she got. You win, Cyn! =)
