| Mariah Carey ready to fight for role in movie
Reports that Mariah Carey will be playing a boxing manager in her next big-screen project, "The Sweet Science," turn out to be premature -- and wrong, according to the film's producer, Anthony Esposito. The multiple Grammy-winning singer will instead be playing a boxer herself -- one who steps into the ring with real-life lady boxing champion Laila Ali, daughter of none other than boxing legend Muhammad Ali. "Mariah was really keen on playing this role. At first, she was going to play the part of the boxing manager, Gloria, but she insisted on playing the boxer. She's been taking boxing lessons as part of her training," says Esposito, who is producing the film with Andrea Kreuzhage, through their Leading Pictures production company. Esposito also produced the Mariah Carey/Mira Sorvino starrer "Wisegirls," which ended up going from Sundance Festival kudos to cable television release. Mariah will also record a soundtrack for "The Sweet Science" romantic comedy, which will begin production in New Jersey and Canada on Nov. 10, once she finishes her current "Charmbracelet" tour. Real estate tycoon Donald Trump has also attached himself to "The Sweet Science." Declares Esposito, "Donald is investing in the film, and he'll make a cameo as well." And so much for the view that remarkably resilient Mariah's film career was dead on the arrival of her 2001 debut, the critically panned box-office bomb "Glitter."

| Mariah Carey back in the saddle
Mariah Carey makes no secret that she's tired of talking about her much-discussed emotional collapse of 2001. "Well, I feel like I've gone over this on 'Oprah,' on 'Dateline,' on this one and that, so I'd rather not talk about it yet again because it was two years ago," Carey said. Yet, there's no getting around the topic because it relates strongly to where Carey is in her life today. As even she points out, some songs (most notably "Through The Rain") on her current CD, "Charmbracelet," reflect on the changes that have occurred in her life since that time. "That's why 'Charmbracelet' is so important to me because it marks a place in my life where I learned to take the initiative, to take care of myself more as a human being, not just as a product," said Carey, 33, who'll play Chicago's United Center tonight. Throughout the 1990s, Carey's career had seemed charmed, to say the least. Signed at age 18 to Columbia Records, the Long Island native blasted onto the scene with a 1990 self-titled CD that sold more than 9 million copies in the United States alone. Overall, she scored four chart-topping albums, had 15 No. 1 singles and worldwide record sales of 150 million — enough to make her pop's diva of the decade. Plus, she married her boss, Columbia Records president Tommy Mottola in 1993. But by the late 1990s, Carey was heading into choppier career waters. First came her breakup with Mottola in 1997. Her relationship with Columbia eroded from there. "It felt really hard and really impossible to stay there and still thrive," Carey said. So Carey moved on, signing with great fanfare an $80 million deal with Virgin Records in 2001. For that label, she recorded "Glitter," a soundtrack album to the movie of the same title. The film flopped, and the soundtrack album suffered as well, selling just 557,000 copies in the United States (Carey said worldwide sales were 2 million). Some started questioning Carey's future in music. Then things went from bad to ugly. In 2001, as she was promoting "Glitter" and dealing with the much-publicized failures of the project, Carey began to show signs of emotional overload. She exhibited odd behavior during appearances on MTV's "Total Request Live" and at a record store signing in Garden City, New York. Then on July 25 came the real meltdown. That day, Carey trashed her room at the Tribeca Grand Hotel in Manhattan. She was taken from the hotel to her mother's home in Westchester County, where she literally collapsed. Her mother called for an ambulance for her daughter, who then checked herself in to Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan, Conn. Several news outlets reported that Carey had attempted suicide, something Carey has vigorously denied. In Carey's view, her breakdown was simply a product of overwork, as she sought to establish herself apart from Columbia and Mottola. She said the relentless pace of public appearances and travel left her getting only three hours of sleep a night. The exhaustion and frustration, she said, finally caused her to break. "At that point in my life, I was really spiraling trying to keep everything together," Carey said. "I didn't have the right team around me. I was just neglecting myself. It was just like not treating myself as a human being with the proper respect that one would treat another human being." Carey emerged from her very public crash determined to put her life and her career back on track. And in many respects, she has come out smelling like a rose. Virgin Records, stung by the disappointing performance of "Glitter," bought out Carey's contract, reportedly paying her $28 million. Then Carey signed with Island Def Jam, netting what's been reported as a $20 million deal for three albums. "Charmbracelet," her first release under the Island/Def Jam deal, however, has delivered mixed results. Released in December, its first two singles, "Through The Rain" and "Boy (I Need You)" fizzled. Sales of the CD, however, have topped 1 million. And now "Charmbracelet" is getting a second life. Carey released a new version of the CD today, adding four tracks, including her recent Top 5 hit duet with Busta Rhymes, "I Know What You Want." The song initially appeared only on Rhymes' CD, "It Ain't Safe No More." Still Carey's level of popularity remains under question, especially in light of her decision this spring to downsize a United States tour of arenas and instead play theaters. The singer, though, said her decision to play smaller venues was not based on slow ticket sales. Instead, it's a sign of her independence as an artist, as she chose to play venues where she could interact with her audience. "I feel like at this point in my life, I'm in control," Carey said. "I'm in the driver's seat, and I can dictate what I want to do. So if I want to do something that showcases my talent as a singer and songwriter, yet also lets me have my personality, fun moments and the more theatrical stuff and the audience interaction, it's just the perfect thing for me to do."

| BOTH news from France
We've got sad news from France where BOTH as just been canceled as a commercial release according to Universal, due to bad radio airplay. We did a request page for BOTH in France: http://www.mariahfanclub.com/reception/evenements/request/ Also Sylvain sent us the official video press release: For Immediate Release Mariah Carey shoots video for "Bringin' On The Heartbreak", with scores of adoring fans on set to support her remake of the Def Leppard classic Video's live performance gives fans a glimpse of what is to come as her upcoming Charmbracelet World Tour approaches. Mariah Carey has shown her fans many sides to her diverse personality over the course of her illustrious career. She's a Pop Princess, a Ballad-Belting Diva, a Hip Hop Queen, to name a few. In her latest video, "Bringin' On The Heartbreak", Mariah adds 'Rock Star' to that list with a new look that will catch her fans by surprise. Donning sheer, flowing fabrics in her new video, Mariah's portrayal of a legendary rock star is reminiscent of the 1979 film, "The Rose" starring Bette Midler. A jam-packed Grand Olympic Arena in Los Angeles provides a dramatic backdrop for her spine-tingling performance of the Def Leppard cover. Always one to keep a close relationship with her fans, Mariah reached out via her website, www.mariahcarey.com, to recruit over 3,000 fans to be extras in the video, adding the authentic energy of a screaming, adoring crowd. "I was really excited with the concept of this video as it allowed me to involve my fans", comments Ms. Carey. Throughout the video shoot, Mariah interacted with the 'extras'. At one point, during a break in filming, Mariah passed the microphone around the crowd. One lucky fan, in a dream come true, took that moment to sing a Mariah classic, "Vision Of Love", to her idol! “Bringin’ on the Heartbreak” was directed by Sanaa Hamri, who has directed several videos for Mariah including “Cry Baby” and “Don’t Stop” as well as videos for Prince, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, and Destiny’s Child. Sanaa wanted to create an “original and timeless” video for Mariah’s latest single. The shoot features many cameos including Jane’s Addiction/Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Dave Navarro, who performs with Mariah during the video's electrifying live performance. Superproducer Randy Jackson, who has worked with Mariah throughout her career and has now gained notoriety as a judge on American Idol, is also a member of her band. Model Damon Willis portrays her lover. Even Joe Millionaire's Evan Marriot makes an appearance helping Mariah off the helicopter! The video is being released as Mariah prepares for her recently announced world tour, which will take her to Asia, North America, and Europe over the next 4 1/2 months. "Bringin' On The Heartbreak" is the third single from her latest album, Charmbracelet, her debut release for her newly formed label, MonarC Entertainment, released in conjunction with the Island Def Jam Music Group.

| You won't see them here soon
By Sandra Leong Singapore promoters lost $6 million when the recent Sars outbreak led to concerts being cancelled or postponed. And they are not likely to recoup some of that money this year because the international acts are unlikely to return any time soon. The $6 million figure is the estimate of Dr Robert Liew, president of the Association of Concerts and Events Managers Singapore and a promoter. Shows from the likes of Mariah Carey, Santana, Moby, David Gray and Blue were affected by the Sars outbreak from March to May. Sars has been tamed, but it is difficult for international performers to quickly reschedule their plans to fit in a postponed gig, says Midas Promotions. 'Most concerts take three to six months to plan,' says director Michael Hoskings. 'These artists usually plan their schedules one year in advance. They cannot suddenly come back,' he adds, noting that Midas is still uncertain if Carey and Blue will return to Singapore. Lushington Entertainment, whose plans to stage concerts by Santana, Moby and Gray were derailed, says these artists will not be back this year. Its director, Mr Michael Roche, says their shows were 'not rescheduled but cancelled'. He says the company is being cautious for now, because any further or sudden cancellations can severely damage its credibility. None of the promoters Life! spoke to was willing to say if they are covered by insurance to help offset the costs of the no-shows. But the show will go on, for some artists, in Singapore. Hong Kong singers Alan Tam and Hacken Lee, who were scheduled to arrive next month, will now be appearing at a doublebill concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Nov 27, says promoter Abba Film And Entertainment. It adds that Cantopop king Andy Lau will come next year instead of December as scheduled. Arts Management Associates has also secured French mime Marcel Marceau for a rescheduled performance in October after his April date was cancelled. Its director, Dr Liew, says: 'To get a free date requires an extraordinary amount of work, but we managed to get a promoter in another country to give one date up for us.' Over at LAMC Productions, director Laurrietta Alaabons says talks are underway to reschedule Dionne Warwick's and Joe Satriani's shows till some time next year.

In the 07/25/2003 issue of the Belgian newspaper "Het Nieuwsblad", an interview of Max Beesley was published, as he was in Belgium at that time. Here's the extract which interest us: Question: How was Mariah Carey as a person? Answer: A fantastic girl. All the rumors that you can read about her are ridiculous. We talk by phone regularly and we talk about a lot of things, except music. In fact she's a so much better actress than what Glitter show. The director totally messed up the movie, he cuted out the main ideas of the movie and he made it a tasteless child movie. Mariah couldn't do anything about it. Above all this movie was released on September the 13th. 2001. More bad luck was impossible. English translation: Gilles from Heroes of Mariah. Dans un article du journal néérlandophone

| Mariah's Vegas Gamble Pays Off
By Roger Friedman I had a feeling this was going to be something special. I was right. Mariah Carey kicked off her American tour Saturday night at the Colosseum in Caesar’s Palace, the same place where Celine Dion is installed as the regular performer, and she hit a grand-slam home run. With a controlled, powerful belting instrument of a voice, Carey put to rest all past intimations of stage fright or uncertainty. Her one-hour, forty-five minute performance of her hit songs — in front of a sold out to the last seat room — was so confident I almost couldn’t believe she was the same person. Carey’s choice of this "intimate" — all terms being relative, the Colosseum seats about 4,000 — setting, reflects (besides a tough summer for selling tickets) a real sensibility about her spectacular voice. She is front and center for most of the show, with about a dozen dancers and backup singers discreetly interwoven into the action. But unlike some other young divettes who cover their lack of singing ability with stage traffic, Carey is out there by herself. She rarely uses one of those new-fangled headset microphones. Instead she grips her hand mike as if it were a baseball bat while she commandingly sings every one of her hits — from "Dreamlover" to "Vision of Love" to the Jackson 5’s "I’ll Be There" — with heretofore unknown authority. Who knew she could do it? And who knew she could do it wearing a series of skimpy micro-miniskirts that show off hard-as-rock thighs worthy of the Valkyries? Carey’s Vegas show marked her return to the U.S. after a month in Asia preparing the show and fine-tuning it. The plan worked. She made her entrance on a set that’s designed like a sunken living room in a hip Paris apartment or a very cool Starbucks. There are couches and easy chairs scattered about, and the sensibility is intimate, fairly unglitzy elegance. The singers and dancers are scattered about as if they were Mariah’s pals who’d dropped by to hang out with her. In fact, there were times — even when Carey wears a Marilyn Monroe-inspired gold lame gown or a feathery full-length Roberto Cavalli number — that you feel you’ve wandered either into Loretta Young’s old TV show or a Broadway offering by a new, undiscovered talent. The other good news is that Carey — whose voice was in top condition thanks to a two-day rest — has dropped about 95 percent of the melismatic yodeling that afflicted many of her records in the late 1990s. Her voice — again which many thought might have lost its power or tone — is strong and she’s using it with much more control. She’s hitting the notes dead-on and letting them blossom. The result is you feel like you’re listening to her great debut album, before the gimmickry set in. A few times during the show she sips some herbal tea, which has some kind of soothing effect on her instrument. Now, if you don’t believe me, I can tell you that Carey had two guests in the audience who are much harsher judges. Her sometime producer, Randy Jackson (search), the American Idol judge who is newly slimmed down after gastric bypass surgery, was one. But OK, he’s a judge, but he also works for Carey so he can’t be considered totally objective about his raving over the show. The other guest, though, was unknown to everyone until she visited Carey backstage afterwards: Nancy Wilson, the legendary jazz and blues singer, who’s seen it all, nearly pushed an entire room of waiting fans aside to meet Mariah. She gushed, and when she left, Carey — wearing a butterfly print dress — called to everyone in the room: "Uh Hello? That was Nancy Wilson!" And so to the show: Many of the songs from her so-so selling album Charmbracelet are included, and they work better than you might think. The ballad "Through the Rain" gains a lot of energy in this minimal setting because Carey doesn’t push it. The gospel number "My Saving Grace," which others might have done with a fully costumed, over-the-top choir, is performed with amazing restraint. Carey also has to deal with the audience, which was very mixed in age and race but also included a number of her devoted, shall we say "extreme," fans. There were even a few Carey imitators, and they were not women. (Mariah, who is tall, inspires this, I guess.) Because there is no orchestra pit at the Colosseum, a group of these hardy fanatics was able to stand very near the stage during the show. They sang along with every song, having memorized all the lyrics (and that’s no small feat considering a preponderance of them are no moon-June-spoon but missives about "self-empowerment"). During a terrific duet with Trey Lorenz on the old Jackson 5 hit, "I’ll Be There," one of this group — a young Asian man from San Francisco named Sam — took Carey’s offer to sing along too seriously and jumped on stage. The surprise of it didn’t faze her — Mariah played along with amazing aplomb — although Lorenz looked a little shocked. He said into the open mike, "I don’t know about this, fans coming on stage." Luckily Sam was harmless but something tells me this won’t be happening again anytime soon. Two numbers in the show refer vaguely to Carey’s problems with her ex-husband, former Sony chief Tommy Mottola. One, a new song called "Clown," is positioned in a circus setting, with calliope music as the introduction. While Carey sings from the side, business-suited actors on stilts with sinister "Nixon" masks perform a tug-of-war with a female puppet on strings. This is actually called "The Marionette Show" and is as subtle as a flying mallet. Carey also shows, on a screen during a costume change, the video for her song "Honey." This is the "James Bond" video in which she’s held hostage by a Mottola look-alike and his thugs, then breaks free and is rescued by a hunk on a jet ski. Only the first part, with the Mottola imitator, is shown, but you get the message. After the show, a member of Carey’s entourage told me an enlightening story from Mariah’s "TM" days, which is how she refers to her ex. "He took her to Rao’s [the famous and exclusive Italian bistro in East Harlem where you can’t get a table]. Paul Anka was there. TM said, 'It’s Paul Anka!' He’d never met him. And Mariah, who was pretty young, had never heard of him. Tommy couldn’t believe it. He got up, went over to Anka, and said: ‘This is Mariah Carey! She’s never heard of you! Can you believe it?’ It was humiliating." When the show is finally over, and Mariah’s sung her signature song "Vision of Love" and the fan favorite "Hero," the work is not over. I watched while she posed for pictures with countless numbers of fans, including members of her "Honey Bear" fan club, with not only incredible patience but also enthusiasm. She is not cynical about these lines of supporters who come with scrapbooks they bring to her as gifts. To be provocative I asked her during a two-second break: "Why don’t you just kick them out and say good night? You just sang for two hours. I can’t believe you’re not throwing a diva fit." Mariah (who in platform shoes trains her head slightly down toward me, and I’m five foot ten) narrowed her eyes. "I know," she sighed, "it’s so boring. Why don’t you say that I ran around and pulled all these pictures off the wall? It’s terrible being normal." Carey heads next to Chicago for a Tuesday night show and then on through the U.S. She winds up at Radio City Music Hall on Sept. 26, where the long knives of New York's entertainment writers (me included) will no doubt be sharpened and out for blood. But what a disappointment Mariah's arrival will be for them! Whoever thought she'd get the last laugh? Certainly not me. Source: Foxnews.com (All rights reserved) Posted on July the 28th. |

| Another review from the Las Vegas concert
I am very critical when evaluating Mariah's voice and I just came back from the concert and she was magnificent. Her voice was in perfect form. She sang better than her t.v. performances. She hit a lot of high notes in full voice and held her notes long like she used to in mostly all her songs. She sounded like when she did the MSG concert in 1995. I was very impressed that I am going to see her again in LA. Her voice was had a good tune, it was sounded kind of high she really couldn't hit her low notes. She sounded fabolous when she was introducing her band mates by singing and displaying her talents in singing jazz style. She did lipsync a little bit in certain songs--all in when she performed fantasy, last part of honey, and few parts in subtle invitation mostly in the end, b.o.t.h, ending in Clown, and I think that was about it. She sang really good with Trey in I'll Be There with a lot of soul. The ballad that was chosen for the night through the internet deal was Cant Take Away.. where she was excellent no lipsinging...she recieved an outstanding ovation. She wore a really beautiful white dress when she performed SI and I'll Be There. Busta Rhymes did not show up. On the whole, her voice was superb....the old Mariah was back. She did not sing You Got Me and she did not have an opening act. What was odd for me as well was that there were a lot of older conservative people that attended. Not many people were dancing when the fast songs were on. Her voice sounded really sweet on Hero the last song. She did amazing with ABMB, hitting those high notes at the end... she really didn't hold back with her songs she really hit those high note that she usually changes to a lower note when she performs most of the time. She was very humble and sweet...a fan ran up to the stage during her I'll be there" performance and started singing. The security didn't even stop him...Trey lorenz was tripping outby Mariah was cool with it and gave him a hug and let him sing a line (which was horrible) ...he was wearing a honey b fly shirt. AFter the concert, fans were yelling out her name on our way out. Can't wait to see her in LA. GO MARIAH!!! Source: zondee at FOMM. Posted on July the 27th. |

| Her Own Woman - Mariah Carey dismisses criticism
while gearing up for new tour
By Doug Elfman - Review-Journal An MTV2 poll just named Mariah Carey's voice the best in pop music history. But ever since Carey debuted as an overnight star in 1990, her parallel career has rocketed, too, as a media punching bag. If her placement on the Web site, AmIAnnoying.com, is any indication, naysayers sum up Carey as a poor dresser (according to fashion cop Mr. Blackwell) and a bad actress (winning a worst actress Golden Raspberry Award for her role in "Glitter") who "calls her fans lambs (like they are a bunch of sheep)." If that's not negative enough, she was ridiculed by Howard Stern and a host of other pop-culture carrion crows for having an emotional breakdown a few years ago. But even AmIAnnoying.com recognizes that Carey does more charity work than most celebrities, and she has criticized other musicians for using computer-enhanced images on their album covers. Carey, 32, considers these outside views of herself while sitting her tall, fair-haired, iconic body in the steam room of her New York home, while drinking lots of water and letting a portable humidifier strengthen her throat. She'll need to be hydrated this well on Saturday, when she begins her first U.S. tour in three years at Celine Dion's Colosseum at Caesars Palace. "This is going to sound bizarre -- it's a steam room in which you can sleep. Luther Vandross taught me about this. Humidity is key for singers. That's why in some ways Vegas is not great for me, because of the dryness," Carey says. Carey answers a small barrage of questions about her reputation while in a seemingly pleasant mood, and in a deep vocal tone unlocked from the bottom of her five-octave diaphragm. Carey thinks journalists gain respect for the singer once they get better access to her and know her better. "Then, I think they have a totally different take on me than they do just watching the antics on TV ... watching the rumor mill and stuff like that," Carey says. "We all like to feel respected. But the media is what it is. It's all about sensationalism, and selling papers, and TV time, and ratings. So once you come to terms with that, you don't hate the media. I don't hate the media. I get it." Carey dismisses the notion that plenty of American women are jealous of her. But she says she understands that some women look down on her because of the skimpy clothes she wears: "It's hard when people don't really know you, because, of course, they're going to have judgments about how you look in a video, or maybe some women might feel offended: 'Why is she dressing like this?' You know. Stuff like that." She is asked if she feels like an optimist in a cynical world. "I am. Somebody told me I was the most tortured optimist that they've ever met. Like, I get tortured, and I'm still an optimist," she says. She is also not a pushover, she says. When she is told that Vegas concerts are known to be stacked up front with VIPs holding free tickets, she sends out a shot: "We may have to change it up a little bit," Carey says. "I don't want it to become a corporate thing where we give away too many tickets to corporate people and stuff like that. This is for the fans." Carey says the tour is kicking off in Vegas mostly because it was just a convenient spot on the West Coast to start from. "The decision for that was made when they were figuring out the whole schedule. But I think it's going to be a good place to play. I think people love a show in Vegas, don't they?" Carey's tour was initially supposed to go into bigger venues than the theaters and amphitheaters it has ended up in. Carey says she scaled down the tour because a single fan expressed interest in seeing her play in a smaller spot. Carey says she'd rather sing in smaller venues. "I wanted to do clubs, actually. But that wasn't realistic with the way I wanted to put the show on, in terms of musically. I still want to do maybe a surprise date in a club. It's gotta be in a city where they can't smoke in the club, because of my voice," she says. Carey did a club date early in her career. It was captured for MTV Unplugged. But that was before Carey felt comfortable in front of crowds and cameras. "It was really the first time I'd really ever performed. So people enjoyed it because it was intimate. But for me, it wasn't quite so intimate, because there were cameras in my face. Plus, I was so young and just starting out that I wasn't really that confident yet. "So now I also have a personality we can showcase, and I can relate to my fans, as opposed to being 55 feet away from row No. 1." Carey says she's not consumed by having hit songs. The singer (and often co-writer of her hits) of "Vision of Love," "Dreamlover," "Hero" and "Emotions" returned to the sales and radio charts this year with "I Know What You Want," a duet with Busta Rhymes. "You know what? I just feel blessed to be able to do what I do for a living." " `I Know What You Want,' " she says, "was just a fluke that we did it. And it was at the 11th hour, as always with stuff with me." The surprise hit convinced Carey to rerelease last year's "Charmbracelet" album, with the hit tracked on, along with other new songs. She's also heading a new music label, Monarch, and when asked about it, she immediately launches into executive mode, which goes like this: "There's another artist called Sadie, and she is my friend's daughter. She's personality-plus. She's only 7 years old, right. She is very the African-American Shirley Temple for 2003. She raps. She sings. And both her parents are choreographers. She is just adorable, and she has a song called ..." It's an ambitious pitch, especially for a star. Why does she do it? Because she wants to keep enterprising, to run a label, sing and act in more movies. She sees no limits. "Yeah, I want to do the whole thing. I'm an entertainer, but I'm also a very creative person," she says. "I've got a lot of outside projects."

| Craig on Mariah
Craig David has explained his reasons for pulling out of a US tour with Mariah Carey, revealing that he turned down the offer in order to keep his loyal UK fans happy. Speaking exclusively to dotmusic last week, Craig said travelling the States with Carey would have been "a massive step up" for him but said the proposed dates had clashed with his busy touring schedule. "The Mariah thing clashed with what I was planning for my tour," he said. "It would have been very cool to go on a tour with her and an experience. "I grew up listening to her stuff thinking 'wow this girl is amazing' so to be on the same tour would have been a massive step up for someone like me, coming from a council estate in Southampton. He added: "It was one of those things - a UK tour being cancelled or the Mariah dates in America. For me it was more important to do the UK shows." Mariah's tour - which kicks off in Las Vegas on July 26 - had originally been promoted as an arena tour but was downscaled to 'intimate' theatre venues amidst rumours of poor ticket sales. R&B star Ashanti recently pulled her scheduled support slot on the jaunt, claiming that the new tour route clashed with her own promotional schedule.

| The Pop Diva Sees Visions of Love in the Future
for Her Summer Tour
by Aidin Vaziri 
You saw the Cribs episode--if you had that many shoes to choose from, you'd go off the deep end, too. But say what you will about Mariah Carey's recent behavior, she's still the number-one-selling female artist of all time and is getting on track with her latest disc, Charmbracelet. Now, instead of leaving questionable messages for fans on her Website, she's getting up close and personal with them during an intimate late-summer theater tour. That way, they'll be better able to hear new singles like her cover of Def Leppard's "Bringin' on the Heartbreak." Mariah took time from resting her throat to fill us in on how she keeps from going crazy on the road. What's on your tour bus that you can't live without? Anytime there's music involved, I feel like I'm at home. The cool thing is, Lionel Cole--who I wrote "Through the Rain" and a couple other songs on the Charmbracelet album with--is going to be there with me. So, we're going to knock out some songs while we're on the road. It should be fun. Do you have a pre-show ritual? I go on vocal rest in between each show, which is completely boring as hell. Trust me, you don't want to do it. What song always gets the crowd going? Well, sometimes I'm like, "Are people sick of hearing 'Hero,' or do they want to hear it again?" So, we did this poll, and "Hero" is the number-one song, and "Through the Rain" is the second. So, I guess they're not sick of "Hero" yet. Partying is a necessity while on the road. Do you indulge? When I get two days off, I could. But it depends on the city, because if it's anywhere where they don't have that smoking ban passed then I can't go out. All my singers and dancers are like, "Woo, we're having a great time! We're going out! Blah, blah, blah..." And I'll be like, "Yay, I'll be back in my room with all my humidifiers." Close quarters can lead to tension. What was the last fight or argument you got in with a bandmember? I'm always around so many people. But it requires more discipline on their part because hair, makeup and stylist people are always fighting. We love them, but there's always bickering going on. The singers usually don't fight. We're all like a big extended family anyway. Whom do you always call from the road? Yet again, I can't call people because I'm on vocal rest. That's why I use my little two-way pager when I'm in America. But when I'm all over the world, I'll just have to lose touch with most people and write postcards. Source: E! Online (All rights reserved) Heroes comment: Mariah, you say: "Yay, I'll be back in my room with all my humidifiers.", Yay, yay, yay, I'm an humidifier ,
so I will be with you .

| I Only Wanted (DJ Meme Mix), a master piece!
DJ Meme was so kind to send me the I Only Wanted remix he made and here's a short review: How can I find the words to describe you this master piece? I Only Wanted is a beautiful song and DJ Meme succeeded once again and made an absolutely fabulous remix. This remix "I Only Wanted (Meme Mix - Long Mix)" - "Masterkeys Productions, inc., Brasil", is 6 minutes 22 seconds long. During about 1 minute, the intro is a great beat tempo, followed by about 15 seconds of an electric guitar sound. At about 1 minute 25 seconds, we hear Mariah's voice like what we can hear in the I Only Wanted (album version) at the end. Then the beat starts again with Mariah's voice. At about 5 minutes 15 seconds, Mariah's voice stops and until 6 minutes 22 seconds, it's a slow uptempo and a lower beat with basses. I know that you all want to hear it, but I search a totally legal solution to share it with you, I'm in touch with MonarC to find the best legal way, so, please be patient, thanks .

| DJ Meme, a really nice and talented guy
By Gilles Ollevier I was able to interview DJ Meme and he was so kind to answer to a few questions. DJ Meme is a world famous Brazilian DJ. His hits started to be known internationally in 1996 with the production of the hit single "Estoy Aqui" from Shakira, followed by remixes for Los Del Rio, Des'ree, Enrique Iglesias, Alexia, Mariah Carey, Soraya, Gloria Estefan, Ricky Martin, Toni Braxton, Julio Iglesias, Duran Duran, Lisa Stansfield and Dido, to name the most famous. Here's an idea of what DJ Meme already made: 126 remixes for several artists - 12 medleys (mega mixes) - 21 single production - 22 album production - 19 single production as musician/arranger. About the I Only Wanted remix, DJ Meme told me this: "The remix is ready and have been recently approved by herself... it have to be like this. I had good results with BUTTERFLY in '98 , so... back on the studio." Here's the Q&A that DJ Meme kindly answered for Heroes of Mariah: What is your best memory with Mariah? I have met her at a party in Rio de Janeiro last year. She came to promote the new album "Charmbracelet". We didn't talk too much 'cause, you know, there always a thousend people from the magazines, record companies and blah,blah,blah , and I'm not into this crowdy situation...I left fast. But she was very nice to me ... she was really tired. Not too much time too sleep , I think... But, when you make a remix , usually we don't have contact with the artist. The record company makes the deal and everything flows like this. When you do a remix, are you inspired by the lyrics of the song? It depends...If the message is too strong, you should not avoid it...Got to have some respect , 'cause if you not, the vocal/song goes to one side and the music to the opposite. I've made a remix for Dido recently , where she was singin' a sad lyric , and I had to make people dance to that , so I thought : "Oh my god...I'm f**** up..." The solution was: To make a strong groove and a drama keys for the harmony. She loved and worked very well for the dancefloors. How did you start your DJ career? I started at 11 years old, like every DJ: Making parties at people's homes ;Going to the clubs ; makin' friends with the same musical taste that I have . When my friends where playing soccer , I was listening/buying records...I hate soccer!! At 15 I was DJing at an important club here , THE GEMINIS CLUB , when the resident DJ became my friend because of my knowledge about music , and because of my records. At 20 I was working as a DJ/remixer for a local radio station (no payment at that time) . At 21 , I made my first remix...then I never stopped. If you were not become a DJ, what would you have like to do? A surfer!!! Yes , I would...I love the beach, even not havin' too much time to go. Source: Gilles from Heroes of Mariah. Message to Marcello aka DJ Meme: Thanks so much mate, you're the best .

| TV's Lorraine slates Indiana Jones star
Fiona Cummings Breakfast TV queen Lorraine Kelly has branded Harrison Ford "the most boring person I've met in my life". And she claimed her nightmare was interviewing a celebrity who "really hasn't got much to say". Despite interviewing some of the world's most famous people, Lorraine revealed it is not all glitz and glamour. Yesterday, the GMTV presenter rated Indiana Jones star Ford as the dullest interview candidate. She failed to coax anything interesting out of him when she "grilled" him. She also criticised singer Mariah Carey for bringing a massive entourage with her to the studio. She added: "So many of the actors I meet have nothing to say. It's like getting blood from a stone. "But what's worse are those stars who have ridiculous entourages. Take Mariah Carey, she insisted on all her people coming to the interview. It was ridiculous. What was she like?" But not all the Hollywood stars Lorraine has met have been prima donnas. She said: "I interviewed Kate Winslet on the show just after she started seeing Sam Mendes. "We had a little chat before the show and she was fine to talk about the breakdown of her marriage but not her new man. "I respected that request and we still had a good in-depth chat." One of Lorraine's first interviews for GMTV was with screen legend Kirk Douglas and still ranks as one of her career highlights. She said: "I'd barely been with the show for five minutes and I was told I was going to meet Kirk Douglas. "I just remember being so incredibly nervous. "He was such a charmer, a real true star, and there's not many of them. He just worked his magic and left you with a real glow." Lorraine also revealed she felt sorry for the current crop of manufactured pop bands. She said: "I really felt for those kids from Hear'Say. When I first met them, they'd got their dream and they were all so happy. "But after just three months they were totally burnt out, virtually worked to death by a very cynical industry. It's very sad." Source: Daily Record (All rights reserved) Posted on July the 11th. |
| Carey "Clown"-ing around
Australia's No.1 radio program last night showed Mariah more love and support than they have in a long time. In Eminem's current single, "Superman" he disses Mariah and it has been a massive hit on the Hot30.com Countdown. Last week they played 50 Cent's explicit remake of "I Know What You Want", which supposedly also disses Mariah. In response, Mariah's Australian fans felt it was only fair that she should get her chance to reply, and in what better form that "Charmbracelet" track, "Clown" where Mariah allegedly blasts Eminem for being "a puppet show" who "often sits at home alone and cries, cries, cries, cries." After contacting the producers of the show, they agreed and last night they played "Clown" in its entirety. Once it was finished the hosts of the show, Kyle and Jacki, said that in the last few years everyone has been bagging out Mariah, but that's over now. She's got great people surrounding her and this is her year. She's back better than ever. They even agreed that "Glitter" wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be. Kyle even said he loved it.

| Mottola's New Deal Could Upset Mariah
By Roger Friedman I told you several weeks ago, months ago even, that Tommy Mottola had a new deal at Universal Music Group. It was back in April that Mottola managed to get a magazine article about Universal's Doug Morris spiked. His reward was a record deal with Morris. The article at fledgling Radar never materialized. Score one for Mottola. Today, Morris announced that Mottola will run a revived version of the old Casablanca Records for him. Casablaca's big acts were Donna Summer and Kiss. Of course there are bigger ramifications for Mottola at UMG than just getting a new label. For one thing, Mottola's ex, Mariah Carey, escaped his clutches by signing with Universal herself. Mariah has a label there, Monarch Records, run by Mottola's former promotions man, Jerry Blair. Carey and Blair would prefer to never be in the same room again with Mottola. And Morris may have some other tricks up his sleeve regarding Mottola. Lyor Cohen, head of UMG's Def Jam Records, is currently renegotiating his contract. He's also got a bunch of legal problems. Could Morris be thinking that Mottola's new deal will eventually include Def Jam? If so, Carey and Blair would be in the strange position of reporting to Mottola! Last on the Mottola front is the question of Michael Jackson. Jacko has pursued going to the Universal Group for a while. But last year when he and Mottola were at Sony, he labelled the exec "devilish." Well, this could be Mottola's most devilish move of all.

| Tommy snags 50M deal
Mottola, ousted at Sony, signs with Universal By Phyllis Furman Daily News Business Writer He's baaaack. Tommy Mottola, ousted as head honcho at Sony Music seven months ago, has soared to the top of the charts again - snagging a $50 million payday at arch rival Universal Music Group. Diva-maker Mottola, the ex-husband of superstar Mariah Carey, will launch a new label called Casablanca, to be distributed by Universal. The Vivendi-owned unit will hold a stake in Casablanca - a name that harks back to the 1970s and 1980s when it sold millions of records from acts like Kiss and Donna Summer. The music giant has agreed to fund the label over five years and will take a cut of its profits. The deal underscores the unrelenting demand for music execs with ears who can spot talent and fashion hitmakers. And it signifies an impressive comeback for a music honcho who looked like he was finished just months ago. Back in January, Sony-chief Howard Stringer forced out Mottola and replaced him with ex-NBC boss Andy Lack. Stringer further slammed Mottola by declining to give him his own label under the Sony banner. Sources said Stringer had lost patience with Mottola in part because the music honcho failed to treat the Sony CEO with respect. It didn't help that Sony Music's profits evaporated last year as the music business faltered in the face of declining sales and rampant piracy. But Universal Music chairman Doug Morris, a good friend of Mottola, saw an opportunity to latch on to a music man who has had a nearly unparalleled track record in spawning stars - from Celine Dion, to Carey, to Shakira. Mottola's latest creation is his current wife, Latin artist Thalia, who is about to have a big hit this week with her first English-language album. "This guy is an excellent music executive," Morris told the Daily News. "In my mind he was the creative heart and soul of Sony. They replaced him with someone who is not really a music guy." A Universal insider said the company is hedging its bets on Mottola. The five year deal will give the former Sony Music boss tens of millions of dollars, but only "if he produces and reaches certain targets," the source said. Morris recently signed a comparable, though much smaller deal with Sean (Puffy) Combs. Universal stepped in after several music majors targeted by Mottola refused to give him the big bucks he wanted. "I could not ask for a better partner than Doug," Mottola said. "Our close friendship began over 20 years ago, and I am thrilled to be working with him now." With Mottola, Universal now adds another hard-charging, ego driven mogul to a group that already includes Island Def Jam chief Lyor Cohen and Interscope Records boss Jimmy Iovine. "Tommy's the consummate music man," said manager David Sonenberg. "He's a winner and the best minds in the business want to invest in great record people," said prominent music attorney Fred Davis.

Hi (very high ), calling everybody from Tokyo just want to say hello with you got the first show here had a quite a nice time, and all the fans we just want to let you know that the showcase we´ve been talking about on stage, with mister Trey Lorenz is going to be at, in Japanese here we go we didn´t know I could speak it but I can (we hear some noise, and we suppose Mariah gives the phone to someone, a woman voice which sounds like Mariah's voice, says something in Japanese). So basically that´s what you need to do is just come down there (Mariah laughs) hold on Big Nasty wants to say you something. Big Nasty: This is Big Nasty and the follow up to nasty as I wanna be is nastier than ever before (laughs) baby (lower), baby (louder) he don't worked (Mariah laughs). Bah-byye.

| Small Venues Just Won't Do
Glenn Gamboa Ashanti, who is in the running for a No. 1 debut with her sophomore CD, "Chapter II," has stepped off the upcoming Mariah Carey "Charmbracelet" tour. The Glen Cove singer's camp says that after the Carey extravaganza was transformed from an arena jaunt to a downsized theater tour, the new routing caused too many schedule conflicts for Ashanti's own publicity tour. However, concert industry insiders say that the smaller tour may have been a little too small for Ashanti, who could likely fill theaters with her own star power. Ashanti's spokeswoman says the singer is now evaluating other possible tours for the late summer/early fall. Source: Newsday.com (All rights reserved) (extract) Heroes comment: 
Coooooooooooooooool, I hope Ashanti will not be the opening act for Europe
either. I hope we will have Nae

| Mariah Carey Says She Loves Def Leppard Cover
LAUNCH Radio Networks For the latest single from her 2002 album Charmbracelet, Mariah Carey decided to rock the pop world with her version of Def Leppard's "Bringin' On The Heartache." Carey tells LAUNCH that a chance encounter with the song, from a Def Leppard greatest-hits collection she travels around with, led to the decision to record it. "I'm not really a big rock person, but I happened to stumble upon the Def Leppard Vault album, and 'Bringin' On The Heartache' was always one of my favorite songs growing up," says Carey. "I was doing the photo shoot for Charmbracelet, for the album cover, in Capri, and I just put on the music and started listening to it, and I said, 'You know what? I could do this my own way.'" Carey will re-release Charmbracelet on July 29 with four new songs, including "I Know What You Want," her hit collaboration with Busta Rhymes and the Flipmode Squad. Carey is currently touring in Japan. She kicks off her North American dates July 26 in Las Vegas. Source: Yahoo! News (All rights reserved) Posted on July the 1st. |
