Yes, she should have turned it down on moral grounds and just for her safety in general.

Why bother now. Anyone prepared to suck up to James Packer for his money is likely to do anything. Besides, who really cares what Maria Carey does other than her mum!

Generally speaking I couldn't give a monkey's but this Saudi guy clearly doesn't hate women, who gives $1 million dollars to someone or something they hate?

It's easy to turn down 1, 000, 000 dollars on moral grounds ... until you are offered a 1, 000, 000 dollars ?

She should do it at the White House instead, but she may be grabbed!...

Yes, but does she care what we think? Maybe if she knows it will cost her American fans.

She's free to do whatever she pleases. She won't be the first to perform for
a rich scumbag, and she won't be the last.
This kind of thing is not unusual, and it's a waste of time to get worked up
over someone else's ethics, or lack of them.

If you don't like how she conducts herself, don't pay for her music, and don't
pay to see her perform. That's about all you really get to do about it.

Would you perform for a murderer, when money is NOT a problem for you? She is not in the poor house by any means. I would say, absolutely NOT, no matter how much they offer. Someone suggests that she take the money and donate it . . . . No, wrong answer. That is still giving the impression that it is OK to murder someone for their political views. What do you suppose the girlfriend of the journalist who was murdered would say? One compromise leads to more, and, this soils the reputation of anyone who does it.

If she takes it, she should donate the money to women empowerment organizations.

Apparently he doesn’t hate Mariah Carey to the bones.

I feel that is Mariah Carey's decision to make.
