"Calling you African Mariah Carey is a compliment. Don’t sound this way. Every Christmas Michael Buble and Mariah Carey recycles their Christmas hits and cash out real good, everyone now knows them and are always expectant every year. Take that as a compliment and don’t get annoyed, it’s a game of numbers, take them every new year."
