| St. Petersburg Times published their "The
Year in Pop" review of 2002
Here's an extract of this article: "Mariah Carey actually seems sane now. Carey recovered from that emotional breakdown last year to release Charmbracelet, which she mostly wrote herself, and to do rounds of press and television interviews. To which we advise, Slow down. You move too fast. Don't do it again, sister."

| Carey Slams Lopez
Charmbracelet diva Mariah Carey has slammed fellow chart-star Jennifer Lopez - for not having "God-given talent". The Butterfly singer is dismissive of the Latino lovely for being an actress-turned singer, rather than a person who has dedicated their entire life to singing. Carey, who starred in the massive film flop Glitter, says of Lopez, "She's an actress, you know, while I've been doing this my whole life. "Singing is first and foremost a God-given talent. Her thing is something different. "She has nothing to do with competing with me." Source: TeenHollywood.com (All rights reserved) Heroes comment: Well said Mariah! Posted on December the 30th. |
| Busta gushes over Mariah
What is it with rappers and Mariah Carey? Yet another one has fallen under her spell -- Busta Rhymes, who claims he wrote a song for his new album, It Ain't Safe No More, with a Mariah collaboration specifically in mind! "The Mariah Carey song ["I Know What You Want"] is something that people ain't used to hearing me doing, [but] I definitely thought Mariah was the perfect person for it. That was the initial idea," he explained to Rolling Stone magazine, "I definitely thought Mariah was the perfect person for it. That was the initial idea. I just wanted her to add her sexiness to it. I didn't want nothing over the top or nothing elaborate. I just wanted the right vibe and the right voice tone, the right feel and the right breathing -- the right sexy overall feeling. She was perfect for that." Hmmm...does someone have a teeny crush on Mariah? "She's one of the greatest people I've met -- she's sweet," Busta added. "It ain't no bullshit with her. It's just real genuine love." Awww, shucks. Source: Alloy online (All rights reserved) - Twisterkeuh at FOMM. Heroes comment: Mariah's voice is AB-SO-LU-TE-LY great in this song. I bought Busta's album only for that duet. OMG Mariah  .

What runs faster than a rumor?..... 2 rumors
(don't search a meaning, I understand myself  )
First of all, what's a rumor? I always thought that a rumor was a little "thing" which happened and that people tells to each other, so this little "thing" becomes a big "thing". But, now I realize that when the press is aware of this little "thing" it becomes more than a big "thing", the flea becomes an elephant .
Since yesterday, 2 fleas became 2 elephants. And I'm gonna prove
it to you:
Flea 1: During an interview at the MOA in Minneapolis, Mariah had a little problem with her dress being a little short. Elephant 1: Mariah didn't have her underwear on during the interview, according to some people who saw that on TV. What I saw: I was able to watch that interview and there was indeed a little problem with her dress, but nothing more. Flea 2: Mariah had a little talk with Vin Diesel in Aspen. Elephant 2: Vin Diesel is Mariah's new guy and THE source knows they were together for 1 night in the house Mariah rent in Aspen. In conclusion: An elephant runs faster than a flea.

| Feeling like Julia Roberts woman wins shopping
spree, but not with Richard Gere (12.19.02)
By: Mary Field Whatever Bridget Albrecht decides to do this New Year's Eve, she won't have to worry about what she's going to wear. The 31-year-old City Hall accounting clerk already has her dress, her shoes, her coat and her jewelry thanks to a little shopping trip she took at the Mall of America last week with her new friend, Mariah Carey. Last week Monday Albrecht won a $5,000 shopping spree with the pop music diva by correctly answering a trivia question on radio station 101.3 KDWB. "I felt just like Julia Roberts in the movie, 'Pretty Woman,'" she said. "It was like a dream having personal shoppers bringing me things in the dressing room at Bloomingdales - and Mariah Carey pulling dresses off the rack like she was one of my girlfriends and telling me 'Here, try this one on. This will look great on you.'" Albrecht had been following clues in the contest for almost a week when her call to the radio station was connected last Monday morning. The contest, which was part of the station's "Morning Show," required listeners to answer yes or no questions and take one guess in an effort to locate a "Charm Bracelet" (the name of Carey's latest CD) that had been fictitiously hidden somewhere in the world. "I was just so excited to be caller 10," she said. "It never even crossed my mind that I could win." By the time Albrecht took her chance, the location of the bracelet had been narrowed down by previous callers to Elvis Presley's mansion, Graceland. Albrecht also knew from answering her first question that the bracelet was not in the kitchen of the mansion. When she asked the radio announcer if the bracelet was in the bathroom, he said he had some bad news for her. "He told me he was sorry but that I was going to have to take some time off from work on Wednesday because I was going shopping," she said. "I couldn't believe it. I just kept saying, 'Are you kidding? Are you kidding?'" Albrecht said once the shock wore off she started to get nervous about meeting Carey. She called the station back and got permission to bring her sister, Chelsei VanNurden, also of River Falls, along on the shopping trip. "I was so nervous," she said. "I know she's just another person, but I couldn't help thinking, 'Just what do you talk about with Mariah Carey?'" Albrecht said she discovered that her fears were unfounded when Carey asked to see pictures of her children, 11-month-old son Nicholas and eight-year-old daughter Taylor, and signed her daughter's autograph book. Albrecht said she was put even more at ease when Carey borrowed a ponytail holder out of the hair of one of the Bloomingdale's personal shoppers and gave Albrecht an "upsweep" hairdo to go with the evening gowns she was trying on. "She was very nice to everybody -- very genuine," she said. "It was very cool because I think she was having fun too. She said that she never gets to shop like that anymore and that people are always 'picking and poking' at her. She was pulling dresses off the racks and bringing me shoes and jewelry to go with them and saying, 'Here. How about this?' "As cool as it all was, it was kind of bizarre standing in the dressing room and realizing, that's Mariah Carey out there saying, 'Hey, Bridget. What do you think?'" When Albrecht told her supervisor, City Finance Director Julie Bergstrom, the reason she needed a day off, Bergstrom teased her saying, "Well, I don't know if we can give you time off just for that." "Everyone at the office was really excited and happy for me," Albrecht said. Although she did become comfortable shopping with the singer, Carey's two bodyguards, stylist and a couple of cameramen from E-TV and Access Hollywood, Albrecht said she wasn't comfortable spending $5,000 in one shopping trip. "I'm not a real frivolous person," she said. "It was really hard for me to think about spending that kind of money just for a pair of shoes." After buying things for herself, her sister and her children, Albrecht said she had only spent about one quarter of the $5,000 prize. "I had no concept of how to spend that kind of money," she said. "Now I just have to decide what to do with the rest of the money. "It was all really exciting, but I really would have been happy just to meet Mariah Carey."

Mariah Carey: 'I'm not wacko'
NEW YORK (CNN) -- In an hour-long interview on CNN's "Larry King Live" to be broadcast on Thursday, superstar singer Mariah Carey assured her fans that despite her well-publicized struggles with stress in recent years, she is not "wacko." "I'm not wacko. But my point is already made. I mean, we're all a little wacko sometimes, and if we think we're not, maybe we are more than we know," Carey said. "But my point was, these things are personal sort of messages to my fans, and they understand it. I don't expect, you know, whatever talk show host to understand my little lingo with my fans, you know what I mean?" The singer also denied rumors she attempted suicide. "That was the thing that really upset me the most. ... There are kids who are such fans that they emulate almost everything I do. So the last thing I would want them to think is, you go through something, or you're having a personal problem or whatever, and you go and try to commit suicide," she said. She described her marriage to Sony Music boss Tommy Mottola as full of highs and lows. "I have to say there were some very good times and there were some very, very, very difficult times. And that's what it is. And we both benefited a lot from the relationship," Carey said. "I don't want to go into it, because I respect him, and I want the best for him, and I hope he's happy in his life now. "But it's difficult. It's difficult to take somebody like me and try to make me be a different way than what I am," she said. "I allowed myself to be controlled, but every time I got a chance, and I let myself go and had some fun, it was almost like, you know, a dark cloud would come over and we'd all have to go, 'OK. Let's not have so much fun now.'" But while telling King that she considers herself a romantic -- "I think I have to be romantic to write the kind of songs that I write" -- she questions whether she has been in love. "I don't know that I've ever actually really been in love," she said. Carey also questions whether she can sustain another romantic relationship. "I think it would be nice, but you know, my problem is I can't really trust people, because you never know what their agenda is. ..." Carey's appearance came on the heels of the release of her new album, "Charmbracelet." Carey, 32, one of the best-selling female performers of all time, was bought out of her last recording contract by Virgin Records for $28 million after disappointing sales of her previous album, the soundtrack of her movie flop, "Glitter." The axing by Virgin came as another blow to Carey, whose professional and private life has been the target of tabloid gossip columns since the collapse of her marriage to Mottola, who discovered Carey as an 18-year-old waitress. The launch of "Glitter" had been delayed and downscaled after Carey suffered a painfully public breakdown. It was then launched on a day when world eyes were elsewhere -- September 11. In July 2001, Carey checked herself into a hospital for "extreme exhaustion." Her publicist cited the singer's recent work in completing two movies, "Glitter" and "Wise Girls," while simultaneously writing, recording and producing the "Glitter" soundtrack album. "Glitter" came after an almost uninterrupted decade of success for Carey who won Grammies for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1990. Carey released nine albums on the Columbia/Sony label and has sold more than 150 million singles and albums worldwide. Source: CNN.com (All rights reserved) Heroes comment: "I'm not wacko. But my point is already made. I mean, we're all a little wacko sometimes, and if we think we're not, maybe we are more than we know," I totally think like you Mariah, let's get a little wacko together.

| Lucky Charms
By Tim Jaramillo MARIAH CAREY has had a truly exceptional career. The pop diva has the notable honor of being the best-selling female performer of all time, with over 125 million records sold and counting. She's a versatile artist, easily flowing from sweeping ballads to rugged hip-hop tunes. Twelve years after her self-titled debut, Mariah is releasing her ninth studio album, with the whimsical title, Charmbracelet! Mariah explains the concept of her new record: "Charm bracelets have always had a personal and sentimental significance for me. Charms are like pieces of yourself that you pass on to other people...items that tell your story, and that can be shared...like a song. The bracelet represents the foundation of this album, a body of work that encompasses many feelings." The touching single, "Through The Rain," kicks off the album. Mariah's breathy voice delicately leads the tune from a somber intro to the uplifting ending. She earnestly sings, "And every time I feel afraid/ I hold tighter to my faith/ and I live one more day/ and I make it through the rain." "Boy (I Need You)" is a remake of Harlem-rapper CAM'RON's song, from his 2002 Come Home With Me. Mariah's version is a light-hearted love song that's sure to make your head bob. "The One" is a more conventional R&B tune, co-written by music-maestro JERMAINE DUPRI. Things slow down as Mariah settles into the groove on the smooth track, "Yours." It's a magical song that conjures up images of butterflies and fairy dust. Master rapper JAY-Z stops by to spin a few rhymes on the bumpin' number, "You Got Me." Mariah is the proud owner of a five-octave vocal range, which she explores on the soothing ballad "I Only Wanted." It's quite apparent that the sultry songbird's voice is a truly stunning musical instrument. Mariah poured her heart into this record. She says, "Writing this album was cathartic for me. I've been through a lot personally and professionally. I lost my father this year. It was very hard for me, and a lot of that emotion is on the album."

EXCLUSIVE: By Herald Sun'sCameron Adams CONTRARY to popular belief, Mariah Carey does do stairs. The rumour surfaced a few years ago when Carey reportedly said "I don't do stairs" when faced with a flight of them. The 'diva' rumours about me are ridiculous but they're very inventive," Carey says. "Apparently not only do I not do stairs but I won't walk on carpet and I refuse to walk on grass. What do I do to get around? Hover? "I mean, you live and exist under a microscope and at a certain point the rumours become amusing." While she's got a sharp sense of humour, Carey wasn't laughing much last year. Indeed, most jokes were directed at her. For the first time in what had been a stellar career (125 million records sold), things weren't going quite so well in Mariahland. She left Sony, the record label she loved so much she married the boss, Tommy Mottola, and lived the fairytale life that had eluded her as a child in a poor, dysfunctional household. "I had a very intense childhood," she says. "I saw a lot of things before the age of 12 that a lot of people never see in their whole life . . . there were people in my family who were involved in a lot of things not appropriate for a child to see. Because of that, I developed this really intense work ethic because I never wanted to end up back in the position where I started. "But then I went through a lot of struggles in my personal life which I had to keep quiet, and that was so difficult, with my personal life so attached to my professional life. That was the biggest obstacle I had to overcome." After four years she and Mottola divorced (Carey never even uses his name any more) and her relationship with Sony started to falter. She released an album called Butterfly and made videos with none-too-subtle metaphors about finally being free. And after years of sensible dresses, out came the plunging necklines, short skirts and collaborations with rappers, which confused some of her more mainstream audience. When her contract with Sony expired, she signed a $140 million deal with Virgin. The new partnership was christened by Glitter, her first movie and a resulting soundtrack. Glitter was far from a shining success. Ruthlessly panned by critics (one of the kindest called it a good showcase for her breasts), the movie was a major failure and the accompanying soundtrack the lowest-selling album of her career. However Carey, 32, feels the music, at least, was unfairly judged. "It was a soundtrack album; it wasn't a Mariah Carey studio album. So many other artists have been able to go off and do a soundtrack and it was never judged the same way their studio albums were judged." The sharpest knives were reserved for the film, where Carey admits she "stepped outside" her comfort zone. It started as her idea for "a gritty, edgy, cool" movie partially based on her life. But things changed. A lot. "It was watered down so much by the time we started filming," Carey says. "By the time we finished I was so disappointed. They changed writers in the middle of the movie because it was getting too edgy, which is what I wanted - something with substance to it. It was a good concept that was put through a washing machine." Does she cringe watching it now? "Some scenes I'm, like, 'Why?' But I also know there's footage they cut. I don't think it was the worst thing under the sun, but it was a PG-13 movie geared towards young, young kids, and that's not what I brought to the table. "I didn't realise that if you're going to venture into something like that, you need an amazing producer and director and everybody to be on your team and protective of your idea. I didn't have that. It's all about the power people behind the scenes. I had a lot of political weirdness because of the whole Sony situation. I'd left Sony, I had four weeks to set up the record with Virgin: it was all a big mess." The biggest mess of all was happening in Carey's life. Around the time Glitter was rusting, Carey was keeping up the work ethic ingrained in her from a young age. "I was working literally 23 hours a day . . . I'm not exaggerating. I was assuming I could make it better, fix it all myself. But I ended up hurting myself in the process. I overworked myself." She says her insomnia dates back to that dysfunctional childhood and divorce. "Those things tend to keep you up at night," she says. "And then when you're on a schedule like I was . . . well, I only learned how to say 'No' this year. The record company would say 'Jump' and I would say 'How high?' " Carey posted odd messages on her website detailing her inability to sleep, then made a cryptic remark about wanting "to go where the rainbows are". The next anyone knew she'd had a mini-nervous breakdown and had been admitted to hospital by her mother. Paparazzi stalked her mother's house, while jokes were made about Osama Bin Laden hiding in cinemas where Glitter was screening. Carey now believes that the media took their chance, for the first time in her career, to kick her while she was down. "Because of the success I've had in my career and the circumstances that occurred prior to that of me being exhausted and ending up in hospital and all the rumours, there was a steamroller effect of people gunning for me," she says. However it was the rumours that she'd tried to slash her wrists that hit the hardest. "All the other stuff I could handle. At one point, after reading so much garbage, I thought, 'You know what, now they're making me laugh.' It was my entertainment. "But the suicide story was something I thought was very important to clear up. If you have a 13-year-old fan who emulates everything you do or looks at you as a role model and it turns out they believe what they read in the paper and emulate your behaviour, that would be the most devastating thing that could happen. "So writing a song like (new single) Through the Rain was very important because I wanted to instil hope in people, that you can get through anything with faith and perseverance and hope. "But the suicide story was so disturbing. I'm such a spiritual person, it's not my place to take my own life. I have too much faith for that." Then Carey made one of the most public exits ever from a company. Glitter became her lowest-selling but most profitable album ever when Virgin paid her $50 million to leave. Hundreds of people worldwide lost their jobs soon after. She's now started her own label, MonarC, distributed by Def Jam (who paid her a reported $70 million), and has bounced back the only way she knows how: through music. Her new album Charmbracelet was, she says, her most therapeutic to date. She not only addresses her pain in Through the Rain, but also the death of her father. "With this album there was no record company saying, 'How about you write this kind of song,' nobody dictating what I was doing," Carey says. "Not that that's been the case for the past few years anyway, but with this album it was much more about me needing to write more than worrying, 'How should I present myself to the world after all this nonsense and lies?' "All my life was put out there and the stories were 99 per cent inaccurate, and while going through that storm was intense, it inspired me to dig deep and I wrote 21 songs. I just felt like having an album out this year." It also continues her mixture of big ballads with streetwise urban collaborations, something Sony reportedly had trouble with Carey doing five years ago, but which is now almost the blueprint for modern R&B albums. Carey talks fondly of her 1996 collaboration with Ol'Dirty Bastard from the Wu Tang Clan; groundbreaking at the time. "I sort of sneaked that past the record company. They didn't know who he was or what he was saying on his album. But he was my favourite rapper. The Wu Tang's 36 Chambers is one of my favourite albums. I grew up on hip-hop in New York, I experienced the birth of hip-hop, it's organic for me. But a lot of people don't understand that." Especially those who'd be happy to see her belting it out a la Celine Dion. "Society likes to put things in boxes because it makes us feel comfortable. Many people feel comfortable with me in the box of 'the diva who stands on stage in a gown and sings'. That is one box I can be put in, but my situation is that I'm not a one-dimensional artist or human. "I'll always do that, and I love doing that, but it wouldn't be fulfilling to just do that. I love ballads, they're therapy. But doing songs with Cam'ron or Jay-Z, that's part of me too. Being a multi-racial person, I don't think the masses fully understand what that is. It is somewhat new for a celebrity to be as ambiguous looking as I am and to be part black and part white." There is another rumour that hounded Carey. After she signed to Def Jam, a quote surfaced that they'd asked her to "tone down" her clothes, and cover up to be taken more seriously. Carey laughs. "Nobody's controlling me at this point in my life. Trust me." Source: News.com.au, Popdirt.com (All rights reserved) Heroes comment: Oh dear, Mariah you always make me laugh.

| Mariah Carey Continues Comeback At MOA
Since the Mall of America opened its doors more than a decade ago it has staked out a national and international presence through a variety of means. Wednesday, the mall further cemented its brand on two fronts, drawing the co-host of the most-watched morning news show in the country and hosting a performance by a pop diva on a comeback tour. Mariah Carey, who re-emerged in the public spotlight in the last week by giving a string of interviews, sang at the mall with the performance broadcast live on NBC's "Today Show" in her highest-profile appearance since re-emerging on the music scene with her new album earlier this month. Her performance, and having it on the "Today Show," brought Matt Lauer -- a co-host to the most popular morning news show -- to the mall along with weather sidekick Al Roker to host half of the show live from the Bloomington megamall. The show gave viewers a visual tour of the mall and Camp Snoopy, and Carey was interviewed as thousands of fans watched live at the mall. She then performed "Through The Rain," and again showed off what's described as the amazing multioctave range of her voice. She also made appearances in the last week on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," "Dateline" and MTV. Carey had a high-profile breakdown 18 months ago which she said was sparked by her inability to say "no" to commitments and working herself into exhaustion in a decade that began with her first album at age 19 and included an album a year. She spent nearly a month under the care of doctors while she rested and recuperated last summer. Some of the songs on Carey's new album were produced by Jimmy Jam Harris, a Twin Cities-based Grammy Award-winning record producer. Carey is scheduled to return to the mall in the evening to sign autographs at Sam Goody Central. Source: Channel4000.com, Yahoo! News (All right reserved) Posted on December the 12th. |
| Mariah Returns to the Top of the Charts!
Mariah Carey's highly anticipated new album, Charmbracelet (MonarC Music/Island Records), has ratcheted up sales of more than 241,000 copies its first week in stores, giving the award-winning superstar songwriter/producer/recording artist one of the biggest opening weeks of her career. Despite the highly competitive and gridlocked holiday season, Charmbracelet earned a #3 debut on the album chart and a #1 debut on the R&B album chart. The album's stunning performance was buttressed by the power ballad, "Through The Rain," which has made its way up the charts around the world in such countries as England, Spain, Japan and Brazil, among many others. The album itself has also topped the charts overseas, currently ranking as the #1 album in Japan for the second consecutive week. Her second single, "The One," is set for release in early January. "We're obviously thrilled and it's only the beginning," stated Lyor Cohen, Chairman and CEO of The Island Def Jam Music Group. "Mariah's album for us fulfills all our expectations; it's pure and simply electrifying and it's Mariah at her best." Mariah Carey's emergence as a musical superstar whose style continues to influence many of today's artists has been cultivated over a career of consistent hit-making. She is the top selling female artist in history with a record 15 #1 singles, two Grammy Awards, eight American Music Awards, Billboard Magazine's Artist of the Decade Award and the World Music Award for World's Best Selling Female Artist of the Millennium. She is the only artist to have topped the charts in each year of the 1990's, and with her single "Heartbreaker," she pushed ahead of the Beatles as the artist with the most weeks in a row at the top of the Billboard's Hot 100 Singles chart. Mariah Carey not only possesses a five-octave range voice, but composes all of her own material. In addition to holding an exclusive recording contract with the Universal Music Group's Island Records, Mariah Carey has also formed her own label, MonarC Music for which Charmbracelet is the debut release.

Mariah Visits Minneapolis to Spread Some Holiday
Cheer!
   
During her visit to Minneapolis where Mariah performed live on the Today Show from the Mall of America, she also made sure to set aside some time to spread some holiday cheer. Mariah was granted the opportunity to meet with an extraordinary young man, Caleb Boulter and his family; Al, Christina, Ben and Aaron for an extra special visit thanks to the Make-A-Wish foundation. Mariah then hit the mall running as she set out on a shopping spree for "Sharing & Caring Hands" a charity that benefits families in need. She also managed to sneak in some time to ride the Mall's rollercoaster with some of her amazing fans! Photo Credit: Bill Boatman (All rights reserved) Source: mariahcarey.com.

| Wishing upon a star - A teen facing life-threatening
illness gets ready to meet Mariah Carey
By Bart Bachman for the Conway Daily Sun On Caleb Boulter's bedroom walls are posters of tornadoes and Mariah Carey. They are windows to his world. The tornado posters speak to his interest in weather and meteorology. The 17-year-old home-schooled senior has his own weather station at his North Conway home, and the data he collects can be found on his web site,www.northconwayweather.com. He also interns for Mount Washington Observatory and writes a weekly weather column that appears in The Conway Daily Sun on Saturdays. And Mariah Carey? Not only is she is favorite singer, but her music has been a source of sustenance and inspiration in his struggle against two life-threatening illnesses. Next week, Boulter will have an opportunity to meet the pop star. The Make-A-Wish Foundation, which grants wishes to young people between the ages of 2 and 18 who have terminal or life-threatening illnesses, is fulfilling Boulter's wish by arranging a meeting with Carey. He and his parents, Al and Christina, and older brothers, Ben and Aaron, will be flying to Minneapolis, where Carey will be performing a concert at the Mall of America for the Today Show on Wednesday. It's been a long wait while representatives for Make-A-Wish and Carey have tried to work out the scheduling and logistics, but Boulter has been patient. "I know that whenever it happens, it's going to be perfect," he said last week, before the arrangements had been finalized. "It's going to be perfect timing." Boulter suffers from tuberous sclerosis and polycystic kidney disease. The tuberous sclerosis was diagnosed when he was 6 months old. Growths on the brain can cause seizures, body scars,rashes and bone decay. Doctors told Boulter's parents that he would likely be in an institution by the age of 3 or 4, and not survive to the age of 10. He obviously has defied both of those predictions, but he does suffer from debilitating seizures, including one of the worst of his life just three weeks ago. Two summers ago, Boulter started experiencing severe stomach pains, and that's when he was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease, a growth on the kidney that he says was produced by the tuberous sclerosis. Despite his serious medical condition, Boulter says he's still "planning as if I'm going to live a long life." He plans to attend Lyndon State College in Lyndonville, Vt., and study meteorology. "My goal is to get a master's degree in meteorology and go into research," he says. Mariah Carey entered his life about five years ago, when he was at a low point. In desperation, he says, "I prayed out to God. I told Him, "If you can see me suffering, bring somebody to pick me up." About a week later, he heard Mariah Carey's "My All," on the radio. The song's theme of loneliness and separation hit home. "Everything she talked about was something that I felt," he says. Boulter now has all 12 of Mariah Carey's albums, and not a day goes by that he doesn't listen to her. In a letter to Make-A-Wish Foundation, he expressed what her music means to him. "As I listened to Mariah's music, I finally believed that I am important and that I do not have to be afraid to be myself," he wrote. "I finally heard songs that portrayed the times in my life that were hurtful. I had built up so many emotions inside of me and yet was afraid to show them. Finally, I learned that it was okay to cry and that it was okay to feel what I was feeling. Mariah and her music helped me get through the suffering of feeling alone while being gravely ill. She has helped me feel like I can be my own hero and stand up for what I believe. Now I've been able to create my own identity in the world. Along with God, she has helped me build my self-confidence and finally enjoy life to its fullest." And now, in this season of miracles, he will meet the woman whom he believes God has used as an "angel" to help him through some of his darkest periods. "Make-A-Wish isn't for me to say I've met a celebrity," Boulter says. "It's to thank her." For more information on how you can help a child, visit the Make-A-Wish website. Source: mariahcarey.com.

| Here's what I received from Leo:
Open Letter to Mariah Carey Fans Across the Globe You may choose to post this or to delete it! This is an Open Letter to Mariah Carey Fans Across the Globe. The way the Fan Community has been headed in the past few months has gotten completely insane and sad, Resulting into Many hurt lambs and possibly the closure of a few fan sites. To Begin, I would like to clear up a few rumors about myself and Ms. Janel Spiegel. Their has been many, many rumors circulating that I am someway rude to some fans and that I am not a "real" Mariah fan, and I do things with a hidden agenda. That rumor is the one that hurt the most because I have dedicated most of my life to Mariah's Music and the message she sends to all of us through her music. I have been running fan site's in honor of Mariah for quite a few years (Critic, Mariah Critic, Mariah's Lambs, Mariah Info) never asking for anything in return. I have paid out of my own pocket for domain's, hosting ect. Not getting anykind of monies from anywhere not affiliate banners nothing; I chose not to have pop UP's ect to make site's more enjoyable. I have done countless Projects to help connect the fans with Mariah on many level's including a Get Well Fan Book, Chats, Contests, 2 Birthday Fan Book/Package, many regular Fan Books and some with themes. That's besides the point im not asking for anyone to understand because of what I've done. Next, Rumor's of Jane Spiegel. Janel Met Mariah on numerous occasions which I won't go into detail about except one of them was through Make-a-Wish. Rumors are now going around that Mariah paid for Janel's Car and her Collage Education which are comepltly untrue even if they were true it is noones business but the people involved!!! Everyone must understand that spreading rumor's is not cool and you will end up ruining something good! Realize that you might be having fun watching others hurt but one day you will be alone and cold and be asking yourself why you don't have any friends cause the truth will eventually come out. Make it "Through The Rain" together instead of staying devided! Thank You, Leo Porter MariahInfo.Com Mariah FAN since 1990 Source: Leo from MariahInfo.Com by e-mail.

En als het is zoals toen Butterfly uitkwam (en kdenk dat het ook zo was bij de release van Rainbow en Glitter) dan laten ze waarschijnlijk ook stukjes interview horen en geven ze de CD ook weg, ik ben het natuurlijk niet zeker, verder heb ik er niets van gevonden op de site. (Als je het zelf ook ns wil zien, moet je gaan naar www.donna.be, dan klikken op het derde icoontje van die vijf "grote", dan verschijnt er een keuzelijst, kies je Playlist, en dan kies je zoek je iets en typ je bij artiest "Mariah Carey" in, en voila, daar heb je het :)) Source: Elise by e-mail.

| New interview
Hi lambs! The new issue of the German magazine FOCUS features a new 2 pages long Mariah interview. Since it's quite nice we translated it and you can read part of it below. You can find the whole article as well as scans of the article on our site www.butterfliesarefree.de So baah-bye & (M)C ya! She's back with a great voice and a loud laugh. She's too late for the interview. We know that. Miss C. was tired. In a bathrobe and looking tired she's entering the dressing room of the Bavaria Filmstudios. She's taller than I expected and very polite. Very tight jeans and a lil black sweater showing a lot of cleavage. She's got the deep voice and the shilouette of a diva. Behind that you can see the girl from the streets: defiant, a fighter, rollicking. FOCUS: Miss Carey, could you tell me 3 adjectives that describe your character the best? Mariah Carey: First there's my sense of humor, secnd I'm very loyal and third I'm very spiritual. F: What is humor for you? MC: Humor is a way of surviving for me. I learned that very early. In school I was always the one who had trouble. Untill I finally started fleeing to joke. That kind of saved me from my instabilty. I realized that life is just too short to be too serious. I'm an eternal child and laughing is one of the greatest gifts. F: Do you succeed in living such short life to the best? MC: Since I'm a very spiritual person, I believe that God has a very special plan for each of us and he'd never confront us with problems we can't get through. I learned to accept that things don't happen by accident. In fact it's really easy: I've been through hard times but without that I'd never had done a new album like that and I think that it's the best I've done so far. It was just like that earlier, too: I'd never have released a record called "Butterfly" if I wouldn't have been in some kind of captivity before. F: Do you feel threatened by a possible war between the USA and Iraq? MC: You have to understand that I'm not that good with politicial things. I personally think that a war is never justified ....

Mariah is the lead singer on the demo if that's what you mean. The song was cut by Judy Torres on Profile Records. I was working with a producer at the time who was producing Brenda K. Star. He knew of Mariah thru Brenda and always used Mariah to record his presentation demos for the label because she could do such a good impression of Brenda. When he heard WEAKNESS OF THE BODY he thought it would be great for Brenda's project so he got Mariah to sing the demo for me. Source: Webby28 at FOMM. Posted on December the 8th. |

| 'I Was Totally Exhausted'
Mariah Carey Says Breakdown Reports Were Overblown Mariah Carey, who made headlines a year and a half ago when she was hospitalized after apparently suffering an emotional meltdown, is back with a new album, and says she wants to put speculation about her mental state behind her. In a new interview, the 32-year-old pop diva insists she did not have a nervous breakdown. She says she was simply exhausted from working around the clock. The problem, she says, was that she hated to say no when her career placed demands on her. "I was totally exhausted and I needed to go to sleep and I needed rest and I needed people to leave me alone and stop banging on my freaking door to get up and do a freaking video," Carey told MTV correspondent John Norris in an interview that was shown in part on ABCNEWS' Good Morning America. The interview airs in its entirety tonight at 9 p.m. on an MTV special called Mariah Carey: Shining Through the Rain. "There has been so much written and reported about me over the past year ... and I've been pretty quiet up until now," Carey said. "It wasn't like I went schizo and needed to be put in a straitjacket or tried to kill myself, what they were saying. I just think it's time to set the record straight." Since the episode, Carey has been working again and making public appearances. Last winter, Carey went overseas to entertain American troops in Kosovo, and she sang the national anthem at the Super Bowl. Her new album, Charmbracelet, is set for release today. Glitter Wasn't Gold In the summer of 2001, the singer suffered what was described as an emotional breakdown after a two-week whirlwind tour to promote her first movie, Glitter. The movie, autobiographical in some ways, bombed at the box office. Even more disastrous for Carey, the soundtrack album - her first under a milestone $80 million contract with Virgin Records - did poorly in stores. The record company bought its way out of the contract, and things looked bleak. Carey was taken to a hospital on July 26, 2001, in suburban Westchester County, N.Y., after she reportedly became so violently upset that she smashed plates. She was later moved to a facility in Connecticut, and was placed under her doctor's care after being released Aug. 27. Before the apparent meltdown, Carey was Billboard's one-time "Artist of the Decade, " with 15 No. 1 singles behind her. But the toll of her 1998 divorce from Sony Music head Tommy Mottola, slipping record sales and bad reviews for her film debut in Glitter piled up. 'Not a Nervous Breakdown' It was her work ethic that hurt her, Carey said. "Basically, I exhausted myself, because I was working 21-hour days for at least two or three months straight," she said. Although people - even some from her own camp - referred to what happened as a "physical and emotional breakdown," Carey classifies it differently. "No, it was not a nervous breakdown," she said. "There were a lot of different things. It was emotional and physical. More than anything, it was [my] body saying, 'Stop.' Your body can only take so much. Sleep deprivation is real." So why didn't she take time out for a nap? "Right ... go take a nap," Carey said. "I'm not blaming anybody. I'm saying it's my fault for not putting my foot down and saying 'No, I need a lunch break,' or 'No, I need a half-hour dinner break,' and 'Yes, I need at least six hours of sleep a night.'" 'I Know Better Now' Carey says that her drive started when she was a child, growing up on New York's Long Island. She is of mixed race, and she grew up feeling that no group accepted her. Her family moved around from place to place. "I grew up poor ... interracial family, afraid the rug would be pulled out," she said. "I had an incredible work ethic where I was afraid if I didn't work twice as hard I'd be back in a room in a shack." Even when her stardom was firmly established, her work ethic remained. "So if I had an in-store [appearance] and I hadn't slept in 20 hours, I would never blow off an in-store or not go because I might disappoint one fan," Carey said. "What I needed was some boundaries in my life, to take care of myself, to say no, because I never wanted to let the fans down." She says she has learned to give herself a break and to take care of herself. "I know better now," Carey said. "I never knew how to draw the line."

| Mariah Carey On 'Sunflowers For Alfred Roy'
WENN reports Mariah Carey has explained the tribute to her late father Alfred Roy on her new album 'Charmbracelet'. "At the end he couldn't have flowers because he would have an allergic reaction and the sunflowers had become his thing," said in regards to the 'Sunflowers for Alfred Roy' track. "My mother told me that they used to grow sunflowers when I was little, so it became this thing. We had sunflowers at his memorial and that's kind of why there are the sunflowers in the video and on the album." Source: Popdirt.com Posted on December the 6th. |

| Breakdown? Give it a rest, Mariah says
By Bill Hutchinson Daily News staff writer Singer Mariah Carey may get the blues every now and then, but she insists she has never wanted to be a dead diva. The sultry songbird hits the small screen tonight to clear up the picture on her highly publicized mental meltdown. Carey says it's "absolutely not" true that she tried to kill herself July 25, 2001, when her mother made a frantic 911 call and had her rushed to a Westchester County hospital. "I'm far too much of a spiritual person to do that," the 32-year-old entertainer tells tonight's "Dateline NBC." "I would never get to that point. That's God's choice when it's time for me to go." But the Long Island-raised pop princess admits life has hit a few sour notes in the past year. "No, a nervous breakdown is not accurate," she tells NBC's Matt Lauer. "Because a nervous breakdown, you know, you don't recover from so quickly. All I needed was, like, five hours' sleep." Carey, who has sold more records than any woman in history, suffered a double whammy last year, when her movie "Glitter" bombed and her album of the same name flopped. Instead of seeing her debut film sparking an avalanche of Hollywood deals, the best she got was a guest spot on "Ally McBeal (news - Y! TV)." Her appearance at Northern Westchester Hospital Center in Mount Kisco, sporting bandages on her wrists and hands, made front-page news and fueled suicide rumors. That was followed by a two-week stay at Silver Hill, an exclusive Connecticut hospital that specializes in mental illness and addiction. Then came another stint in a Los Angeles psychiatric unit before her record label, EMI's Virgin Records, dropped her. 'Overly tired' "At a certain point I said: 'You know what? Forget this. Forget this whole career at this moment, because it's too much for me. ... I'm overly tired. I can't do it as a human being,'" she tells Lauer. "Nobody was hearing those last two words, 'human being.' They were used to the Mariah that always gets up and goes. ... And I was, like, 'You know what, it's time for me to deal with myself as a regular person.'" Now Carey is trying to bounce back. Her new record label, Universal's Island Def Jam, has booked her on a whirlwind publicity tour to promote her latest album, "Charmbracelet." But although her life is a little rosier, she's still seeing red over bad boy rapper Eminem (news - web sites)'s comments about their dating. She says he's no Derek Jeter. "Did we go anywhere on a date? No," Carey says. "It certainly wasn't a physical one, that I'll tell you flat out." Originally published on December 3, 2002. Source: Yahoo!
