Mariah > Elvis

By Brett Ratner

Bio & Blog

Hey brahs, how's it hangin'? Alright? That's good to hear. Me? Ah, ya know, same ol', same ol'. Just had a few cold ones, watched some tv, and, oh yeah, helped Mariah Carey get more number one hits than Elvis freakin' Presley! Elvis, that's right. Ever heard of him? Yeah, he was just one of the most popular singers EVER. And now with the release of "Touch My Body," Mariah's newest hit and the basis of the soon-to-be-MTV-Video-Music-Award-winning music video directed by The Rat-man himself, Ms. Carey has finally beaten that two-bit hip-shaker at his own game.

Let's just compare their two careers for a second here: Mariah is 38 years young and still kickin' out hits, lookin' foxy, and dating big shot record producers. At 38, "The King" (psh, more like "The...Not King"!) was already in his sweaty "Fatass Has-Been" career re-invention phase, had gone through a bitter divorce with his hag of a wife, and scoping out potential toilet seats to die on. Meanwhile, Mariah manages to both have a smaller, tighter butt and bigger breasts than Mr. Presley had in his disheveled state. Point: Mariah.

How about their film careers? Mariah had Glitter, which has been dubbed by many as one of the worst films of all time. Alright, well, Elvis made over 30 films, all of which have been pretty much universally panned and could all be summed up as "Elvis is a young hotshot soldier/singer/island-goer who falls for a young nurse/strangely-Caucasian island girl/Arabian princess and has to win the big dance contest/singing contest/World War II." At least Mariah only made ONE of those things. Another 30 points to Mariah.

Clearly, Mariah is the better singer/artist/actress/boob-haver. The only artist who has more number ones is the Beatles, and let me assure you all, right here, that those limey mopheads are goin' down.

Samuel L. Jackson:

Got'Damnit Brett, you know even less about music than you do film. I don't even like Elvis. I love Mariah but only because of that got'damn body I wanna touch. Maybe you know the answer to this, being her best friend and all; Is Mariah black? You'd think I'd know the answer to this, being the emmisary of the black man, but I've really got no idea.

Samuel L. Jackson:

For the second time, you motherfucking Sam Jack impostor, it's spelled 'got-damn,' not Got'Damn. It ain't no fucking Gaelic. You gonna pretend to be me, learn how to spell that shit right.

Samuel L. Jackson:

Who's pretending to be who here? Eh? Is it out of your respect for the Christian god Yaweh that you find it neccesary to us got instead of god for everything profane? Or is it simply because you need to perpetuate the horrible character you play in every movie? Let's be honest, we all love Pulp Fiction, but really Sam Jack? Really? You gotta do it like my boy Daniel-Day. Pick a movie every few years, do a bang up job in it. You can't pick every movie that comes down the line, I know you're not that broke.

Samuel L. Jackson:

Ain't no pretending about it: God's profane--I don't want to fuck up perfectly decent swearing by using that motherfucker's name.

And I'm perfectly got-damn content to be Mariah to Danny Day's Elvis.

Bono:

Does Mr Jackson have multiple personalities? Or am I seeing triple? I only usually see double when I'm this drunk, this is new to me.

Samuel L. Jackson:

Well I apologize real Sam Jack, you know, imitation is the highest form of flattery.

Dr. Phil:

Actually, as we all know, "flattery" is the highest form of flattery. Imitation just means you've got a l0w self-esteem problem.

I just got to ask: does anybody really LIKE Mariah Carey?
