| Los Angeles' KIIS FM Interview with Mariah
This morning at about 7:45am, Mariah called in to KIIS FM to chat with Ryan Seacrest and Ellen K. about her Los Angeles shows in October. During the interview, Mariah also talked about the following topics: - Purple Food and Dieting. She denied the "Purple Food" rumor. "Does that sound realistic to you?" she asked Ryan. - Pepsi Smash Concert. That it was the first time they (with Randy Jackson) had rung the show from top to bottom and that it wasn't the actual show and had to make the set list shorter. That fans were great and thought the Pepsi Smash concert was a cute, little beginner/preparation for her tour. - Fearlessness. Ryan asked, "You can't just go out and do a normal show, how does Mariah rise in this performance?" She replied by saying Randy loves her "fearlessness." Mariah said that in "Vision of Love" she decided to do whatever she felt, like doing it in the upper register, and started doing ad-libs, that she doesn't care where she lands, "It'll be fine, we'll get to the end. When I get to the long a capella rift, it's having the freedom." - Janet Jackson and the Duet. She loves Janet. That they don't know each other well. That it wasn't the first time they met at Oprah's, they met a couple of times at clubs/parties. About the duet, Mariah said, "To me, it's a rumor because Jermaine [Dupri] hasn't called me." Mariah's waiting for Jermaine to call her so they could write the song, she said, "Ain't no song, ain't no duet." - Boyfriend. She told Ryan, "MYOB." (Mind Your Own Business) It's her way of "trying to be polite and don't want to answer the question." - The Vignettes. They fixed the audio so the audience could hear what's being said. She wants people to scream but she wants them to hear the dialogues. Source: KISS FM - Mariah Daily Posted on July the 31st. |

| More news from Tunis
Mariah's concert that was held in Menzeh stadium last 24th july got an imminent success thanks its mastery of the pop conventions, a back voicing gospel voices, a dancing band and heavy clothe changing (she wore so few things), and despite the hot climate, she did performed her songs well, the kids got the full package of the show that last less than one hour thirty starting at eleven (on hour later than scheduled). The concert was a set of lights and boosted bass, the voice of Mrs.Carey did superpass all the tension all around, and everybody danced like a fool, surrounded by kids (the average was about 20), I found myself dancing between photo shots. The Menzeh Stadium was overcrowded as in national Football championship and the heat was more than July's burning celcius, everybody got there and have already acquired the proequities for the fun, some come in groups, some were their relatives. Inside the Menzeh stadium who's access road were all barred, the police was surrounding all over around, there was orange security guys in the entry with steel detector, I was asked to leave the camera out as photos was prohibited, I did pay the guy 5 dinars and go ahead.... There was a VIP entry at 1 Million TND (850 $) offering a special entry to Mimi's dinner and a photo with her. Source: Karim Posted on July the 29th. |

| Mariah on The Game's new album
A few months ago, I told you Mariah would be featured on The Game's new album "The Doctor's Advocate", it's now confirmed by Game himself. The release date is scheduled for November 2006 and according to Game himself, on November the 7th.. Let's hope it will not be postponed or scrapped from the album like many other collabs we expected (see Busta's latest album), as it's rumored Game would have left Aftermath and has now a deal with Geffen. "The Doctor's Advocate" could be a very good album, as there will be production by Dre, Just Blaze, Kanye West, Timbaland, Scott Storch, 9th Wonder and Mike Elizondo and collabs with Snoop Dogg, Mary J Blige, Lauryn Hill, Damian Marley, Anthony Hamilton and Mariah. Wait and see... Posted on July the 28th. |

| UK journalist talks about Tunis
For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to experience a jazz festival in Africa. So, back in frosty February when I was invited by the Tunisian National Tourist Office in London to cover part of the Tabarka Jazz Festival (July 8th to 16th) for the UK press, I was understandably quite elated. Landing at the airport in Tunisia’s capital, Tunis, on July 11th, was a cultural revelation in itself. ‘Tunis-Carthage’ is as large and as predictable an international thoroughfare as you will find in any other part of the world: sullen-faced security guards armed to the eye-teeth standing sentry before long hallways and queues; multi-lingual signs just above your head to give directions (in this case mainly in Arabic and French). As with any such cosmopolitan port, it is also a no man’s land of sorts. What was immediately at odds with this picture, however, was the image of Mariah Carey, G.D.C.F.P - gravity defying cleavage fully prominent. Her mounted promotional photos were to be found on billboards throughout the airport arrival hall. I was later informed that she would be performing for local charities in and around Tunis on July 23 and 24. It didn’t take me too long to discover that many Tunisians enthusiastically soak up a huge variety of musical influences piped to them through the mass media – and that Mariah Carey is as popular among the country’s youthful population (comprising some seventy percent of the country’s 10m inhabitants) as Bob Marley and Fifty Cent.

| Deuxième concert de Mariah Carey
Véritable sanctuaire du live, le stade d’El-Menzah, a accueilli lundi 24 le deuxième concert de Mariah Carey, qui donne le coup d’envoi d’une tournée «MC» internationale après une éclipse qui a duré trois ans. Pour cette deuxième soirée, Mariah Carey a élaboré une programmation de haut vol, où la diva nous a offert une compilation de best of, en majorité des singles et des remix des meilleurs tubes issus de ses quinze albums. Une heure et demie de pur bonheur, où l’on a pu apprécier une étendue vocale rare, type soprano coloratura et sa parfaite maîtrise du registre du «sifflement». Mariah Carey pouvait-elle attirer encore la foule des grands jours malgré cette chaleur d’airain qui enveloppe le stade d’El Menzah ? Oh que oui à en juger par cette foule qui a bravé la canicule et les longues heures d’attente pour assister à ce dernier concert. Entendez-vous la clameur de la foule ? Le spectacle ne fait que commencer ! En attendant, d’aucuns laissent libre cours à leur imagination et se lancent sur le pas de leurs idoles, tandis que d’autres se sont laissé sans aucun doute séduire par la magie des lieux incontournables encore empreints d’émotion du concert de Michael Jackson ou de Sting. Ce fut aussi une occasion pour flâner le long du parcours et revivre les grands moments de la vie du stade d’El Menzah. On approche de l’heure fatidique, quand une voix confuse annonce le début du concert dans cinq minutes. Cette information, a été perçue comme un mot d’ordre au public éparpillé sur la pelouse, qui a subitement pris d’assaut le devant pour s’agglutiner les uns aux autres, brandissant des pancartes à l’effigie de la vedette où l’on peut lire «I love you Mimi». On éteint les lumières, pour permettre aux musiciens de prendre position sur scène en toute discrétion, mais les cris fusent de partout. On illumine les portables, briquets et le stade se transforme en une constellation d’étoiles. L’ouverture de la soirée commence par la diffusion sur écran géant des images d’une voiture de toboggan filant à toute allure sur les rails du grand huit. On l’avait immédiatement compris, le spectacle nous embarquera dans un voyage de haute voltige où le vertige sera de la partie. Mariah fait son apparition sous un déluge d’ovations. Elle entame avec «It’s like that», le premier single de l’album «The emancipation of Mimi», son quatorzième album qui a connu un très grand succès dans le monde, s’étant vendu à plus de 9 millions d’exemplaires jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Comme un rituel, un jeu de miroir, les paroles, les images vidéo et la musique se renvoient les uns aux autres comme dans un rêve. Le son et l’image se confondent alors, se livrent dans une même temporalité, un même désir. S’ensuit «Heartbreaker», dans sa version remix et où la diva laisse libre cours à sa voix aux octaves multiples, devant un public conquis. La soirée se veut une rencontre palpitante entre une artiste au label international qui tient à une rentrée fracassante avant de prendre la route pour aller défendre son spectacle devant un public cosmopolite. Elle enchaîne avec «Dreamlover» et «My All» avant de céder la place aux danseurs break qui se sont livrés pendant la pause de la vedette à une danse chorégraphique endiablée qui a mis le feu au public. Retour de l’artiste sur scène où le public lui a réservé un bon accueil sur les airs de «Honey», «Breakdown» et «Shake it off». Porté par un style d’une singulière hauteur, Mariah Carey a interprété, pendant cette soirée, toutes ses primeurs musiquées triées sur le volet pour un public privilégié. C’est ainsi que le public a eu droit, tour à tour, à des tubes qui ont caracolé sur les hit-parades, en l’occurrence «I’ll be there», «Fly like a bird», «Fantasy», «Don’t forget about us» et «I know what u want». Au fait, le conducteur de la deuxième soirée était pratiquement le même que pour la première. Le combat des décibels continue sur la scène d’El Menzah, après que Mariah a eu le temps de se changer et porter une robe noire décolletée. Elle entame la dernière partie du show, avec «Thank God I found you», un remix qui fait remonter la sauce et l’adrénaline. «One sweet day», «Hero», «Vision of love» et «Make it happen» ont meublé la dernière partie du spectacle. «Je suis heureuse d’être parmi vous, j’aime la Tunisie, j’aime ce merveilleux public», a lancé la diva aux 160 millions d’albums vendus de par le monde avant de quitter la scène. Le public, bon enfant, commence à quitter les lieux en transe. L’organisation, au fonctionnement bien rodé, a fait preuve d’un savoir-faire incontournable. Le succès entre autres de cette soirée résulte pour une bonne part des exigences élevées qui lui ont été appliquées.

| Summary and translation I made of the article
below
Mariah Carey, all was there, but still... Most of the people arrived around 17h00 at the El Menzah stadium. You could see Mimi look a likes and very young girls who came with their parents. But does these people really know their idol? There were of course Tunisians, Chinese, Belgians, French and Saoudi people. Some people came for Mariah's hotness (read body), some others were fans but couldn't give any song title. But they were all waiting for the concert. Around 21h30, one hour before the announced start, some people were already impatient and started hitting the iron surfaces which sounded like a chopper, and people became excited thinking Mariah arrived from the sky. The journalist writes the show was good but not great, he was awaiting for something more, like a real connection with the audience. Also he notices people couldn't see very well, except maybe some on the lawn. The giant screens sometimes didn't even gave the real concert, but parts of videos and made him wander if it was all live. People were a lil' disappointed 'cause they could only see a very "little" Mariah, the stage was too far to see something correctly. Some others thought they came to see Shakira. But a lot were pleased. Mimi was very happy, at least it's what she said. She also asked young people to quite smoking, only for that "bravo", quotes the journalist. Posted on July the 26th. |
| Mariah Carey
Tout y était, et pourtant Après plusieurs spéculations sur "viendra, viendra pas ", les prières des fans ont été exhaussées et Mariah Carey foula, enfin, le sol de la Tunisie. Matériel impressionnant, jeux de lumière délirants et danseurs sautillants : toutes les conditions étaient réunies pour que le spectacle du samedi, 22 juillet 2006 se transforme en événement qui donne le " la " en la matière. Et pourtant… L’attente Vers le coup de 17 heures, les avenues autours de la Cité Sportive d’El-Menzah étaient déjà noires de monde. Pour le grand bonheur des buvettes des alentours qui ont vu exploser leur chiffre d’affaire. Des sosies de Mimi, d’une vingtaine d’années ses cadettes, ont commencé à envahir gradins et pelouse. On voyait beaucoup de fillettes qui avaient ramené leurs parents pour leur faire partager leur passion. Mais, à propos de passion, a quel point le public connaît-il son idole ? Aussi surprenant que cela puisse paraître, qu’ils soient Tunisiens, Chinois, Belges, Français ou Saoudiens, l’art de la star ne semblait pas être leur principale motivation pour casser la tire-lire. Ainsi, un monsieur du plat pays s’est dit attiré surtout par les splendeurs morphologiques de la chanteuse. Mais ne sombrons pas dans le pessimisme – beaucoup de jeunes filles se sont déclarées fans, même si celles qui ont été capables de donner le titre d’une chanson de Mariah étaient plutôt rares. En tout cas, quelles que soient leurs raisons, tous les spectateurs partageaient au moins une chose : l’attente que la scène s’anime. Une attente qui commençait à s’éterniser. Vers 21h30, soit une demi-heure avant le début annoncé du show, ceux qui occupaient le haut des gradins ont commencé à taper sur les parois métalliques. Il en résultait un bruit qui rappelait celui de l’hélicoptère. Du coup, une partie de la foule a cru que Mimi allait atterrir au stade ce qui a suscité une vague d’acclamations. Mais il n’en était rien… Il a fallu attendre 22h45 pour que le rideau se lève, les six écrans s’allument et que Mariah Carey apparaisse enfin dans toute son émancipation. Un spectacle " un peu excellent " Deux escaliers en demi-cercle et un muret de projecteurs – tel était le décor principal servant de fond pour plusieurs tableaux, présentant une Mimi tantôt festive et dansante, tantôt pensive et sentimentale. Un spectacle, certes, très bien conçu mais qui, tel que nous l’avons vu, nous a paru un peu trop… distant. Quand on va à un concert, c’est surtout pour s’approcher des artistes, pour avoir un moment de communion avec les personnes que l’on vénère. Chose pratiquement impossible, du moins pour ceux qui n’avaient pas la chance d’être près de la scène. Car tous les autres, y compris ceux qui avaient payé le prix fort, ne voyaient que des personnages aux dimensions microscopiques gigoter sur scène. Le nombre des écrans n’améliorait pas la situation : souvent, on y voyait des clips et non pas ce qui se passait réellement sur la scène. C’est ainsi que certains passages, voir des morceaux entiers, avaient tout l’air d’être chantés en play-back. Mais, rassurez-vous, la plupart du public n’y a vu que du feu : il était trop impressionné par les effets spéciaux pour faire attention à ce genre de détails. Du moins au début… Vers minuit, angoissées par l’idée que la colère du paternel attendant au parking ne transforme la BM en citrouille, un tas de petites cendrillons ont commencé à déserter les lieux. Un papa qui avait ramené sa fillette de onze ans pour lui faire partager sa passion de jeunesse s’est dit déçu par le retard de la diva et les dimensions des écrans qui, selon lui, étaient plus petits que ceux du spectacle de Michael Jackson. Pour Hager, enseignante de français, l’émancipation de Mimi ne l’a pas " accrochée ". Trois dames saoudiennes, résidentes en Tunisie, ont trouvé que la scène était "trop loin " pour qu’elles puissent apprécier pleinement le spectacle. Il y en avait aussi celles qui s’attendaient à voir… Shakira. Ou, du moins, qui auraient préféré la voir. Comme Maroua et Malek qui ont trouvé le spectacle " un peu excellent " car sans surprise aucune. Malek a dit qu’elle voulait que Mariah Carey apparaisse sur scène "d’en bas ", comme l’aurait fait Shakira sur MTV. Mais il y avait aussi ceux qui étaient entièrement satisfaits. Ainsi, un monsieur qui a passé une partie de sa vie en Allemagne nous a dit que le show n’avait rien à envier à tous ceux auxquels il avait assisté en Europe. Il a également souligné qu’il fallait acheter le plus de billets possible car, selon lui, les bénéfices iraient pour des causes humanitaires, notamment en Palestine. Quant à Mimi, elle était ravie. Du moins, d’après ce qu’elle a dit. A un détail près : la fumée. Elle n’a pas raté la moindre occasion pour inviter ses fans à se débarrasser définitivement des cigarettes et autres engins fumants. Et, ne serait-ce que pour ça : chapeau, la diva. Source: Tunis Hebdo (All rights reserved) Posted on July the 26th. |

| Mariah Carey's two men
Mariah Carey has two men in her life - God and the pastor who helped her get through the toughest part of her life. The singer credits her faith with helping her bounce back from a breakdown in 2001/2002, following the failure of both the movie and album Glitter, which prompted label Virgin to buy out her record contract. Carey was particularly helped by Reverend Clarence Keaton , who performed with her at the Grammy Awards this year (06), and who she describes as the most important man in her life. She says, "I really give credit for everything to God. Everything I have is because He has given it to me. So if I've had to go through some times that were a little difficult, and where some people had some different opinions about me - they still do and always will - but as long as I have that unconditional love from God, and I realise that no matter what, He is the one who will always be here for me, regardless. "For this particular moment in my life, I've been able to go to church more and I've been able to have a really good relationship with my pastor Reverend Clarence Keaton of the True Worship Church. He's just a really great person. That is something that has really helped me." Carey insists she's not looking for any romantic attachment, because she is still hurt by the failure of her marriage to record boss Tommy Mottola. She adds, "I don't feel comfortable being in like 50,000 different relationships. I've never been that type of person. I was married and that didn't work out, and that is something that in a lot of ways shaped the way I approach relationships." But Carey knows what qualities her next partner will need: "He would be on the same page with me spiritually, have a sense of humour and is not concerned about being overshadowed by the fame thing."

| Summary and translation I made of the article
below
Golden voice and in great shape: Mariah Carey gave 2 successful concerts in Tunisia. Under the name "Mimi in Tunisia," Mariah gave two mega colored shows on July 22 and 24, attended by an estimated 60,000 people at the El Menzah stadium in Tunis. Showing her goddess legs, sometimes playing "cabaret", relax despite the heat, Mimi gave a tonic show with her biggest hits from "Butterfly" or "The Emancipation of Mimi" her last album which sold over 9 million copies. Showing off her legs lasciviously, reminiscent sometimes of a cabaret, very much at ease despite the heat, Mimi gave a great show of songs from her biggest hits "Butterfly" and "The Emancipation of Mimi," her last album which sold over nine million copies. "It's Like That", "My All", "Honey", "Don't Forget About Us", "Dreamlover", "We Belong Together", fans became crazy when she performed "Breakdown", "Shake It Off" and "Fly Like A Bird". With her strong and smooth voice, alternating between romantic ballads and bangin' songs, the mixed diva told the audience: "I love this crowd" ou "How do you feel", "I love you Tunisia". "She's fantastic...", "Complete happiness", said the audience, some people attended both concerts. "Mini shorts and great shape!" clamed francesco, 21 years old, who came especially from Italy. Monday night, the diva was wearing a short and a bikini top with a light black cape to the pleasure of the young Tunisians and fans from France, Italy and even Canada. "It's fantastic! I never thought I would see her in real", said Fatma, 17 years old. Mariah's return is a success commented a radio DJ. The star performed for the first time in Africa, it was the start of the tour which will go on in 30 US and canada, and later in Japan. Posted on July the 25th. |
| 'Come back' réussi pour Mariah Carey
acclamée à Tunis
Voix d'or et forme d'enfer: la chanteuse américaine Mariah Carey a offert deux concerts à succès en Tunisie, marquant son retour sur la scène musicale internationale après une absence de trois ans. Sous le slogan "Mimi in Tunisia", la star new-yorkaise aux 160 millions de disques vendus dans le monde a donné les 22 et 24 juillet deux méga-show colorés suivis par quelque 60.000 spectateurs au Stade olympique d'El Menzah à Tunis, brillant de mille feux. Exhibant lascivement ses jambes de déesse, jouant parfois au cabaret, très à l'aise malgré la chaleur, Mimi a offert un spectacle tonique, enchaînant ses grands succès de "Butterfly" ou de "The Emancipation of Mimi", son dernier album vendu à neuf millions d'exemplaires. "It's like that", "My All", "Honey" en passant par "Don't forget about us" "Dream Lover", "We Belong Together", faisant hurler ses fans avec "Breakdown", "shaket it off" ou "Fly like a bird". De sa voix forte et suave, alternant allégrement ballades romantiques et morceaux d'enfer, la diva métisse acclamée lançait entre deux chansons: "I love this crowd" ou "How do you feel", "I love you Tunisia". "Elle est fantastique...une bombe!", "pur bonheur!", fusaient les commentaires parmi les spectateurs, certains présents aux deux concerts. "Mini short et grande forme", lançait Francesco, 21 ans, venu spécialement d'Italie en allusion aux tenues minimalistes "trop sexy" de Mariah, en micro short et décolleté bretelle samedi. Lundi, la diva était en short boxer et haut de bikini sous une légère cape noire au plus grand bonheur de jeunes tunisiens et fans venus de France, d'Italie, voire Canada. "C'est fantastique! Je n'ai jamais imaginé que je pourrais la voir en chair et en os", répétait Fatma, 17 ans, se faufilant dans la foule dense sur la pelouse du stade. Mariah "a accompli son retour sur scène avec succès", commentait un animateur de radio musicale, rappelant que la diva a connu une période creuse ces dernières années avant de renouer avec le succès en raflant trois Grammy Awards en février dernier. La star se produisait, pour la première fois en Afrique, en prélude à une tournée, qui la conduira dans 30 villes des Etats-Unis et du Canada, puis au Japon sous le slogan "The adventures of Mimi".

| The release of Trey Lorenz's new CD with Mariah
Carey singing back-up
Skreem Entertainment Corporation (OTCBB:SKRM) issues a positive growth update statement reflecting the company's immediate and long-range plans by announcing a series of negotiations in progress. Included in these plans are: entering the Asian on-line video gaming industry through acquisition; the release of Trey Lorenz's new CD with Mariah Carey singing back-up. Charles Camorata, President, said, "Our music and video website, www.Skreem.TV, is on target to have over 400,000 hits in July, which shows the public market is reflecting our success. Releasing Trey Lorenz's new CD with Mariah Carey singing backup will be a real coup -- who can forget his duet with Mariah Carey on MTV's "Unplugged" of the Jackson 5 hit song, 'I'll Be There.'"

| Nelly: "Mariah Carey, she's possibly the best
singer I've heard,"
As you might guess, enjoying the distinction of working with both Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson in less than a year has been "a dream come true" for Nelly. Mariah Carey, she's possibly the best singer I've heard," he said. "And you watch someone such as Mariah, who went from the highest of the high to the lowest of the low, and come back like she never missed a beat, and stand up and smack everybody in the face like, 'I'm still here; matter of fact I'm better' — that gives you inspiration. That keeps me going. The King of St. Louis said he made it a point to do true collaborations with Mariah and Janet, rather than make the track the way artists typically do — where the singer records 90 percent of the record and sends the Pro Tools file to another studio for the MC to lay his verse and ad libs. "I wanted to do something different," he explained. "I just don't want to be, 'You do the song and I put the 16 [bars] on the end, or eight bars on the front.' With Mariah, I went in, me and Mariah sat down and wrote the song out. With Janet, we went in, wrote the song out. It's not like they had the song done and said, 'Nelly, put your thing on it.' I'm happy it went that way because I feel more of a part of it. You can't take me off and still have a song." Although Nelly loved recording with Janet, he deemed the Mariah sessions the most fun he's ever had in two days in a studio. "When me and Mariah did the joint, we had the studio locked down," he recalled. "I was working on Sweatsuit, Snoop was working on his album and Mariah was working on her album. We had all the studio's doors open because we're all family. "Snoop's room was little more smoky than everybody else's," he joked. "Matter of fact, I was in with Christina Aguilera in my studio and was going back and forth with Mariah. We had the basketball goal in there, we was hooping — me, Ali and one of our partners [against] Snoop, Nate Dogg and somebody else. Everybody was chilling. We in the studio, hooping like we outdoors." So is Nelly going to call on Janet or Mariah, or maybe both superstars to return the favor and sing on his next LP? Maybe — he isn't sure about any collaborations just yet. His next record won't drop until next year, he said. He wants to concentrate on releasing albums by the artists on his Derrty Entertainment imprint. Source: MTV (All rights reserved) (extract) Posted on July the 25th. |
| Summary and translation I made of the article
below
European leg of "The Adventures of Mimi"?????? Tunisians will not forget THE summer 2006 event, Mimi. To avoid the congestion, we choose like thousands of fans to go to the stadium by the "La Charguia" road. There was a lot of security on the way to the stadium and you could only access the roads if you had a concert ticket or the MC decorated badge. We still don't know how people who live near the stadium were able to access their homes. We were controlled 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 times and then stopped counting the control stops. About 3000 security people stayed every 10 or 20 meters on the little distance to the stadium. Some are in uniform, some others in civilian clothes, some with their horse, others by car, moto or busses. Fans from outside the city of Tunis payed half the price to travel by bus or train to come to the concert. We finally reached the doors of the stadium. It was like a flashback, we remembered when Michael Jackson and Sting also came to Tunis. The sun was slowly fading and everyone was happy. Inside you could find fresh drinks, sandwiches, dry fruits and jasmin "mechmoum" (little typical flower bouquet). At 19h40 more people were taking place in the stadium, young and less young, we even saw old veiled ladies. Italian technicians took care to cover the lawn with a special white carpet to avoid the destruction of the stadium's grass. The whole stuff with the lightening and the works on the stage costed a lot. It's 20h00, then 21h00, on stage we can barely see a few girls dancing to Mariah songs, it was now 22h00 and there was still nothing happening, even the music stopped. The audience became agitated and impatient, they began to stamp with their feet, they screamed, they booed. Suddenly the lights went out and we saw the stage. It was 22h40, Mariah was there, it was really her, for real!!! It was like a dream, the concert started with "It's Like That", and went on with Mariah's old and new songs. "My All", "Hero", "We Belong Together", "I Know What You Want" and the charmed public sang along to "Without You", they couldn't see Mariah very well but there was still the big screens. Among the represented TV channels which wanted to cover the event were MTV and M6. They talked of around 30.000 or 40.000 people attending, no one know exactly. Mariah was very happy and said: " I'm very happy to be in Tunisia and thankful to the President Ben Ali and his wife Leila Ben Ali and I give you a big kiss. All my gratitude goes on to the Tunisian people, for their warm welcome and hospitality". After the 2 concerts in Tunis, the diva will travel with her "Adventures of Mimi" across Europe and North America to continue this wonderful moments. Heroes comment: Please note there was no reason to be so impatient they needed to boo as Mariah was not too late, the concert was announced for 22h30. But more interesting, they talk about a European Tour  .

| Mariah Carey à El Menzah : Spectaculaire
!
Les Tunisiens et Tunisiennes n’oublieront pas de sitôt la coqueluche de l’été 2006, Mimi à la voix estimée entre 5 et sept octaves, au look de minois et de tous les caprices des dieux. Et surtout cette mobilisation de tout le monde. Il était une fois en Tunisie ... Pour éviter les embouteillages et les bouchons attendus, les chemins ordinaires et autres raccourcis ne sont pas à conseiller. Dans l’espoir d’une circulation fluide, nous avons donc opté, comme les milliers de fans de la diva du soir, d’aller du côté de La Charguia. Dès le premier rond point, des barrages et des agents de police. L’accès n’est toléré que pour ceux qui ont un billet (ou un badge, joliment paraphé par le joli sceau argenté de Mariah Carey). Pour les autres, notamment les habitants de la zone, du genre casanier et imperturbable, désirant rentrer chez eux, nous ne savons pas grand-chose sur le type de leur visa du jour. Une fois, deux fois, trois, quatre et cinq et six... puis le nombre de fois qu’on a été contrôlé de nous échapper. Les agents de sécurité (estimés à plus de 3000) jalonnent tous les dix ou vingt mètres tout au plus la petite distance qui nous sépare du Stade d’El Menzah. Les uns sont dans leur uniforme bleu ciel d’été, beige, bleu foncé ... Les autres sont en tenue de civil ou tirés à quatre épingles. D’autres sont à cheval, à moto, en quatre roues ou en bus. Des bus partout. Ils ont ramené des régions des mordus de Mariah Carey et ils n’ont payé qu’à moitié-prix leur billet de voyage. Nous sommes devant la grande porte d’entrée du stade olympique. L’ambiance nous a fait remonter le temps. C’était comme hier, quand Michael Jackson, le roi de la pop-music est venu chez nous. C’était en 1996 dans les années de gloire. C’était aussi avec l’ex-leader du groupe Police, Sting et tout son poids. Des portes indiquant des numéros. Chaque numéro a son public. De 35 dinars à un million de millimes. Devant chaque porte une longue file d’attente. Des têtes noires. Sauf quelques une balayant le foncé avec des mèches. Une minorité au naturel. Euphorie Nous sommes devant la porte une. Le soleil qui a grillé la foule toute l’après-midi a commencé à s’évanouir au bonheur de ce beau monde dont la tête est déjà branchée au concert du soir. Ici, il y a de tout. Des boissons rafraîchissantes, des sandwiches, des fruits secs en sachets en miniature et des “mechmoum” de jasmin. Des tentes sont piquées à cet égard. Mais aussi, de l’autre côté, une pour les secours. On ne sait jamais ! Il est 19h40. Au fil des secondes, le stade qui a abrité en 1967 les Jeux Olympiques s’est métamorphosé pour ce méga-concert en une aire fourmillante. Des vagues humaines noircissent les gradins. Puis la pelouse. Les plus jeunes se tiennent encore debout. Les moins jeunes, dans des tenues moins légères- nous avons vu même des dames d’un certain âge et voilées - ont investi la pelouse, que des techniciens italiens ont couvert avec un tapis blanc de matière spéciale pour que le gazon ne soit pas piétiné et continue à respirer. Ces mêmes Italiens, spécialistes dans ce genre de méga-concert, ont travesti la scène de madame à un prix dépassant le milliard. La scène est géante avec ses 70 mètres de long, 40 autres de haut et 28 pour la profondeur. Puis on a fixé des écrans géants. On parle aussi de 200 projecteurs et sans précision pour le nombre d’amplificateurs. Il est 20 heures. Puis l’horloge du stade indique 20 heures trente. Puis 21 heures ... Sur scène on voit à peine trois silhouettes de femmes qui dansaient sous le rythme des tubes de Mariah. Ça résonnait de partout. Dans les airs, il y a comme un air frais. Pas encore l’euphorie. Il est dix heures du soir passées. Du côté de la scène, on ne voit rien venir. Même la musique s’est arrêtée et le vide a réellement régné. Du côté du public, on se demande la raison de ce retard et de ce black out total. 22h20. Les gens s’agitent sur les gradins et la pelouse. D’autres en masse, investissaient par centaines et milliers les quelques gradins encore vides. Le public commence à s’impatienter et à afficher son “n’en peut plus” en tapant des pieds. Pour apaiser l’ambiance, une voix a calmé les bruits. Une speakerine louait le tout le monde avec des noms et des chiffres baignés dans la bassine hyperbolique à la tunisienne. Les minutes s’étirent tout doucement et le public n’en peut vraiment plus se tenir sagement. On crie. On siffle. On tape des mains et des pieds. Soudain, on était les lumières et on exhibe la scène. Il est 22 heures quarante. Mariah Carey, en chair et en os. On décrasse les yeux. C’est bien elle et en personne. Comme dans un rêve Avec son staff, on donne le ton. Plus de temps à perdre. Chez elle, tout est calculé. C’est avec “It’s like that” qu’elle a démarré son premier concert tunisien. Puis d’égrener les perles nouvelles et anciennes. Avec les “My all “Hero”, “We belong together”, “I know what you want” et surtout “With you” dont le public a répété en chœur quelques refrains ... Un public envoûté jusqu’à son âme qui voyait à peine Mariah Carey. Elle était en minuscule. Heureusement, les écrans nous transmettent Mariah en grand. C’est comme à la télé. Sur M.T.V. (qui a envoyé une caravane de ses journalistes sur place pour couvrir l’événement) ou même sur M6. Tous les regards étaient donc braqués sur les écrans. On parle de 30 ou 40 mille spectateurs, qui ont choisi de veiller avec la diva aux 160 millions de disques vendus de par le monde. Ils avaient leur portables allumés ou autres bracelets fluorescents en jaune, rouge ou vert. Ça scintillait de partout. Comme si on était dans un rêve. Au point de ne plus dissocier le flash back de son contraire. Madame doit être comblée. Après son désespoir des années 2000, c’est la véritable résurrection, et elle peut dire adieu à la dépression. “Je suis heureuse de me trouver en Tunisie et je suis reconnaissante au Président Ben Ali et à son épouse Mme Leila Ben Ali et je vous faits un bisou. Toute ma gratitude à ce peuple tunisien, chaleureux et hospitalier”, a dit Mariah Carey (with her american accent). A peine qu’on annonce la fin du concert, les spectateurs ont commencé à sortir, comme délivrés. Pourtant, de loin, on attendait encore Mariah chanter et danser avec ses compagnons de route. Avec des mélodies douces et veloutées, des chants célèbres (et d’autres moins) coupés avec du soul, club music et du rythmes and blues, Mariah Carey s’est fringuée d’un petit haut foncé et un short pour le début, puis une robe moulante blanchâtre a fait entorse à son habitude et évité le trop sexy. Après Tunis et les deux concerts du 22 et 24 juillet, la diva basanée de 36 ans va se “trimbaler” avec son “Aventure de Mimi” de par l’Europe et l’Amérique du Nord, et de continuer son parcours en beauté. Source: Le Quotidien (Tous droits réservés) Heroes comment: L'article est intéressant malgré quelques erreurs, le "madame"et le fait que Mariah n'était pas en retard car le concert avait bien été annoncé pour 22h30. Ce qui est plus intéressant c'est que l'on y parle d'une tournée Européenne .

| Exclusive: Mariah is a human being!!!!!!!
Coming from websites which have the bad habit to critisize Mariah in everything she does, what she wears, how she sings, her look, etc... we can eventually understand, let's call it "hate" towards Mariah, we can understand it 'cause they are not fans. But since a few days, especially since the first Tunis concert, a trash campaign seems to reach some fans .
Mariah sweats, then what, don't you? For your information, the temperature inside the El Menzah stadium at the beginning of the concert was still 34 degree Celcius (93.2 degree Fahrenheit), add the heat of the lights for the stage and Mariah stayed in a room temperature reaching 45 degree Celcius (113 degree Fahrenheit). So tell me if it's not normal to look tired if we know Mariah sang live and putted a lot of energy into it. Not only they critisize Mariah as a person, they also critisize the setlist. God, how far will go the stupidity? Just enjoy the fact Mariah is touring, that's all. Sometimes I wonder if some people shouldn't look for another person they can be fan of, instead of staying glued to a person they want perfect and who should do all what they want. Sorry, it's not that way it works. When you love a person, you accept her like she is, period. The best is that most of the ones who give out their critics are the first ones screaming and becoming almost hysterical when they see Mariah. Listen people, next time you see her, tell her you don't like her voice, her look, that you don't like the way she is, let you go, spit it all in her face and then go at her side to have your damn picture with your fake smile. But be carefull for Michael or Darryl, they could know it .
With that said, I'm gonna enjoy this beautiful summer day and trying to have some distraction with some "real" people. Oh, I forgot, in case you didn't know, I'll make an exclusive announcement, Mariah is a human being, this means she also goes to the ladies room like everyone else, dang, you didn't know that huh?

| Exclusif: Mariah est un être humain!!!!!!!
De la part de sites sur le web qui ont la sale habitude de critiquer tout ce que Mariah fait, ce qu'elle porte, comment elle chante, son look, etc... on peut à la limite comprendre l'acharnement à, appelons cela "la haine" envers Mariah, on peut le comprendre car ce ne sont pas des fans. Mais depuis quelques jours, plus précisément depuis le premier concert à Tunis, une campagne poubelle semble atteindre certains fans .
Mariah transpire et alors vous pas? Sachez que la température à l'intérieur de la cuvette du stade El Menzah au début du concert atteignait encore 34 degrés, ajoutez-y la chaleur des projecteurs dirigés sur la scène et Mariah se retrouve dans une température ambiante approchant les 45 degrés. Normal qu'elle ait l'air fatiguée sachant qu'en plus l'effort vocal du live a dû lui demander beaucoup d'énergie. Non contents de critiquer Mariah en tant que personne, on s'en prend aussi au choix des chansons. Seigneur, jusqu'où va aller la bêtise humaine? Au lieu d'être contents que Mariah donne des concerts, non, il faut encore et encore critiquer. Parfois je me demande si certains ne feraient pas mieux de devenir fan de quelqu'un d'autre plutôt que de s'accrocher à une personne qu'ils veulent parfaite et qui ferait tout ce qu'eux désirent. Désolé, ce n'est pas comme cela que ça marche. Une personne que l'on aime on l'accepte telle qu'elle est, basta. La meilleure, c'est que la plupart de ces critiqueurs sont les premiers à hurler et à devenir presque hystériques quand ils voient Mariah, dites donc les gars, la prochaine fois que vous la rencontrez, claquez-lui que vous n'aimez pas sa voix, que vous n'aimez pas son look, que vous n'aimez pas ce qu'elle représente, enfin tout ça quoi, lâchez-vous et puis faites-vous tirer le portrait à côté d'elle avec un sourire faux. Mais gare à Michael ou Darryl, ils pourraient bien être au courrant
Sur ce, je vais profiter de cette superbe journée d'été et tâcher de me distraire avec des gens "vrais". Oh, j'oubliais, au cas où vous ne le sauriez pas, je vous annonce en exclusivité que Mariah est un humain, ça veut dire qu'elle se rend aussi aux toilettes comme chacun d'entre nous, paf, vous ne le saviez pas ça hein?

| "Tennessee"- Lee Daniels
Daniels suffered a heart attack last fall, weeks into preproduction on a film with Mariah Carey. He blames his lousy health on a combination of stress, around-the-clock work, and the residue of a couple of decades' worth of drug use. And then going cold turkey. "I'm stopping the insanity," he says. "For the first time in my life, I'm taking two months off. I'm taking my kids to Argentina as soon as the film opens, and then I'm going to stay in Spain for a little bit when they go back to school." And then Daniels says he'll start work on a new film. At least, that's the plan. Source: Philadelphia Inquirer (All rights reserved) (extract) Posted on July the 23rd. |
| Fan story
The first "The Adventures of Mimi" show is just over, about 25.000 people attended the concert, among them was the Tunisian Président with his wife and Mariah said she was honoured. Setlist: - It's Like That - Heartbreaker - Dreamlover - Honey - My All - Breakdown (with a fire choreography) - Shake It Off - I'll be There (with Trey) - Fly Like A bird, Fantasy - Don't Forget About Us - Always Be My Baby - I know What You Want - Friend Of Mine (Trey Lorenz, his album will drop in September) - Thank God I found You (with Trey) - One Sweet Day (with Trey) - Hero - Vision Of Love - Make It Happen - Without You ( the entire audience sang along) - We Belong Together Mariah sang live and gave us about 10 high notes. Mariah only changed herself 1 time and came back with a yellow dress, it seems there was a problem with her stylist. Mariah asked people to stop smoking 'cause it's bad for the health and the also said that the ones who stop smoking and encourage their friends to stop will be her best friends.

| Histoire de fan
Mimi est venue parmi nous et nous a enchanté avec sa voix puissante et ses chansons tubesques! En effet, le tout premier concert du "Adventures of Mimi tour" vient d'avoir lieu au Stade El-Menzah à Tunis avec la présence d'environ 25.000 personnes! C'était tout simplement génial : It's like that, Heartbreaker, Dreamlover, My all, Honey, Breakdown (avec une chorégraphie d'enfer), Shake it off, I'll be there (en duo avec Trey), Fly like a bird, Fantasy, Don't forget about us, Always be my baby, I know what you want, Friend of Mine (interprétée par Trey Lorenz), Thank God I Found You (en duo avec Trey), One Sweet Day (en duo avec Trey), Hero, Vision of love, Make it happen, Without You (chantée en choeur par tout le stade) et We Belong Together! Rien que ça!!! Et cerise sur le gateau, c'était du 100% live. Sa voix était trop puissante et elle nous a envouté avec ses "high notes" une bonne dizaine de fois! Malheureusement, elle n'a changé de vêtements qu'une seule fois : au début, elle portait un mini short bleu-jean et un top noir. Ensuite, elle a porté une jolie robe jaune (je crois) plutot simple mais classe. Elle a dit qu'elle n'a pas pu se changer plusieurs fois, parce que son styliste n'a pas pu les lui apporter (ou un truc du genre! En meme temps, mon anglais est loin d'etre parfait). Elle a dit aussi (à deux reprises je crois) que les fumeurs présents au stade, devaient arréter de fumer car c'était nocif et que ceux qui arrétaient de fumer ou qui encourageraient des amis fumeurs à arréter, seraient ses meilleurs amis! (trop mimi quoi!!!) Elle semblait trés sincère en chantant avec Trey : leurs gestes, leurs regards ... étaient trés émouvants! Et la nouvelle chanson de Trey "Friend of mine" (son album sortira en septembre) était trés jolie et a plu au public présent. Que vous dire d'autre, à part que c'était gé-nial!!! Sa voix était trop top et son programme, superbe (meme si "Emotions" et "Get your number" manquaient à l'appel). Le président de la République et son épouse étaient présents et Mimi s'est dite "honorée" de leur présence! Source: Jad Posted on July the 23rd. |
| Translation of the article below
First concert of Mariah Carey at the Olympic stadium El Menzah Tunisia can do it to welcome the biggest showbiz stars. Mariah gave last night her concert at El Menzah, the sono was 85 decibel, music in the ears, de eyes and the hearts. And not whatever sound, it was the hypersensual voice of the diva. It was a magic moment like Tunisians can enjoy them, one of the biggest worldwide stars sang for them! She invited them to a fabolous travel, and people came from the entire country to attend the megashow. The doors opened at 5pm and at 9pm the stadium was half packed and people were still in queue outside. In the audience you could see teens, young couples but also families, there were even seniors. About 100 press people attended the concert. 10:40 pm: lights went out. The show began with a big ovation and Mariah entered saying "Hello Tunisia". Mariah was there in real and the audience went crazy. Sensual and very confortable, Mariah sang for the audience which sang along. Posted on July the 23rd. |
| Premier gala de Mariah Carey au Stade Olympique
d’El Menzah
Oui, la Tunisie sait mettre les petits plats dans les grands quand il s’agit d’accueillir les plus grosses pointures du showbiz mondial sur sa modeste superficie faite pour des pas de géants. Mariah Carey, la superstar américaine, a signé hier soir son come-back au Stade Olympique d’El Menzah. Un show de haute facture. Qu’est devenu le Stade olympique d’El Menzah avec 100 tonnes de matériel plus tard, une semaine de grands moyens déployés pour une scène de 70 mètres de long, 200 projecteurs et 6 écrans géants? Tout simplement un endroit digne des plus grands shows de ce monde avec des sonos qui bombent un torse si puissant qu’il est prêt à lâcher 85 heureux décibels. De la musique plein les oreilles, plein les yeux et plein le cœur. Et pas n’importe quels décibels s’il vous plaît ! Il s’agit de la voix hypersensuelle d’une diva à cinq octaves. Avec 160 millions de disques vendus dans le monde, on se passera du CV. On se passera de tout pour vivre des moments magiques comme savent les vivre les Tunisiens ! Et pour cause ! L’une des plus grandes stars du monde chantait pour eux ! Les invitait à un fabuleux voyage ! Et le voyage, le public l’a effectué de toute la République afin d’assister à ce mégashow organisé par Interval Events. Dès le début de l’après-midi, à l’ouverture des portes (à 17h00 exactement), le public était là. A 21h00, les gradins et les parterres devant la scène étaient à moitié pleins et la foule faisait encore la file dehors ! Il y avait du monde au balcon avec une distribution intelligente des agents de sécurité. Un public bourré de bonne humeur, prêt à faire la fête. Un public composé essentiellement de jeunes, de jeunes couples, mais aussi de familles entières. On a même vu quelques seniors dans les gradins. On comptait également une centaine de journalistes étrangers pour couvrir ce spectacle dont les recettes seront reversées à des associations de bienfaisance. 22h40 : extinction des feux. Le Stade olympique d’El Menzah baignait dans une nuit de fête, il n’y avait plus que les flashes qui crépitaient et les écrans de portables. Le grand show a commencé dans une immense ovation et la voix de la superstar entonnait, emportant sur son passage les cris les plus fous. «Hello Tunisia !», cria-t-elle et le public frémit d’une seule onde. Mariah Carey est là en chair et en os dans une sulfureuse tenue d’été. Plus personne ne tenait plus sur les gradins dès l’entrée fracassante de la chanteuse à 5 octaves qu’elle servait généreusement aux Tunisiens. Sensuelle, extraordinairement à l’aise sur scène, Mariah Carey semble avoir retrouvé sa forme au Stade Olympique d’El Menzah. Et puis quel punch ! Une artiste qui a du don, de la voix et du «gabarit», avec un public qui fredonnait les plus beaux tubes de la star. Un moment historique pour un public qui «le vaut bien». Un public qu’on verra aussi bien applaudir un spectacle de «Tarab». Car c’est cela qu’on a constaté hier soir au Stade Olympique d’El Menzah : un public tunisien qui porte toujours ses 3.000 ans d’ouverture sur le monde. «I Love You», lui dit Mariah Carey.

| Mariah goes p.i.n.k.
Everybody and their mother wants to start a vodka line. But in the end, flavorless vodkas are very hard to distinguish from one another. So to set themselves apart, the founders of p.i.n.k. vodka decided they wouldn't just try to make drinkers tipsy - they'd get them to go bananas. "There is nothing else like this product in the world right now," says creator David Mandell. "Because it is flavorless, 80 proof and caffeine- and guarana-infused." What does that mean, exactly? It means that instead of getting tired as an evening of partying wears on, fans of the beverage get more and more amped. If you're not careful, it can even end in a "pinkout," a term enthusiasts have coined for the wreckage that occurs instead of a traditional "blackout." The strategy, as it turns out, has been a huge success. In the two months since it's been released, p.i.n.k. has already found its way into the hands of celebrities like Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Mariah Carey and even rapper DMX, who pulled a bottle on camera with him on BET's "106 and Park," and who later insisted that p.i.n.k be provided backstage at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill, where he is performing tomorrow. Source: New York Daily News (All rights reserved) posted on July the 21st. |

Compilation and translation of the articles below Mariah was scheduled to arrive in Tunis at 3am, then it was said it would be around 5pm, finally it was confirmed it would be 10:30pm. People who were waiting outside the airport were very nervous and excited. There was a lot of security. The promotors had scheduled a little traditional music show to welcome the Diva. Finally 3 black cars were waiting near the honour room and people went more and more stressed. At 10:30 the dream comes true and the private jet is landing. The diva appeared with all lights on her. They offer her the traditional jasmin necklace, people outside went crazy and Mariah stayed next to the traditional music group to pose for photographers. Then, escorted by her bodyguards, she approached the fans who were screeming "Mimi, we love you". It went very fast, and when she left for Hammamet, she opened the window of the car and waived. Even a long time after she left, you could still hear Mariah's name and fans discussing this excited moment which just happened. It was not a dream, "I’m so excited to be in Tunisia", the spot seen on Tunisian TV became reality. Litle info: There will be facilities for people travelling to Tunis, train tickets will be half of the price for people with a concert ticket. Transportation in the "Grand-Tunis" (in the city) will be scheduled before and after the concerts. An important point in these concerts is that a part of the benefits will go to charities.

| Mariah carey est chez nous ...en chair et
en os
" Je suis contente d'être à Tunis et impatiente de retrouver mes fans " Elle s'est fait attendre...un suspense incroyable et hallucinant. Au début, elle devait arriver à 3h du matin puis on nous a informés qu'elle est attendue à partir de 17h puis c'était confirmé, elle sera parmi nous à 22h25. Ce soir là, l'aéroport Tunis-Carthage a vécu un mouvement inhabituel, une ébullition inaccoutumée. Tous mobilisés pour l'arrivée de la Diva, police routière, sécurité civile, mais surtout les fans. Un nombre impressionnant de personnes étaient venues l'accueillir. Et, à cet effet, les organisateurs ont prévus, justement, une cérémonie folklorique, typiquement tunisienne...une troupe de majorette était aussi au rendez-vous. Les répétitions de dernières minutes de ces deux troupes musicales sur les lieux ne pouvaient que stresser davantage les personnes présentes, impatientes de voir leur chanteuse favorite pour de vrai. Une vision réelle et regard non virtuel, de leurs propres prunelles pouvaient rendre l'imaginaire une réalité. Un moment, un laps de temps et l'espoir devient réalité. Les trois voitures noires garées devant la salle d'honneur étaient un supplice cruel pour tous ceux qui se sont déplacés et passés des heures debout à attendre ce moment tant espéré...Car ces voitures auront vite fait de démarrer. Outre ce décor et cette ambiance, le bruit des réacteurs des avions derrière le lieu où on se trouvait avait un effet double sur les présents, et à chaque fois, on croyait que c'était son avion qui atterrit. De l'autre côté, autre décor, piste d'atterrissage et salle d'honneur, où nous nous trouvons . 22h30, le rêve devient réalité, le jet privé de Mariah Carey se pose et touche le sol tunisien. Elle se fait encore attendre et ce sont ses agents de sécurité qui la précèdent. Et tout d'un coup, les souffles se retiennent et la diva colombo-irlandaise apparaît du haut de l'appareil... La blonde vêtue d'une robe noire et moulante descend les escaliers de l'avion... et les lumières sont toutes braquées sur elle... On lui offre des colliers de jasmin, qui cachaient un généreux décolleté... elle marche et marche et s'arrête altière, une posture orgueilleuse pour nous saluer vivement dans sa langue maternelle " hiiiiiii ! ". Et lorsqu'on lui a demandé " comment vous vous sentez ? ", elle répond en toute vivacité " je suis très contente de venir en Tunisie et je suis très impatiente de rencontrer mes fans ici... ". En dépit de la longue attente, ces quelques mots courts et concis avaient un drôle d'effet sur les présents... Dehors, devant la foule en délire qui n'en pouvait plus... elle s'est prise un plaisir immense en se tenant près de la troupe folklorique et les majorettes. Une posture gracieuse se tenait face aux photographes qui l'ont submergée de flashs et d'éclats. Puis, et malgré la crainte de ses body gardes, elle s'est approchée des barrières métalliques où se bousculaient des centaines de jeunes, tous avides de la toucher, de lui communiquer leur admiration...criant tous " Mariah ", " Mimi ", " we love you ! "... Une frénésie, une hystérie et un émoi qui bat son comble lorsqu'elle s'est éloignée et pris place dans le somptueux véhicule. Nous l'avons suivie jusque là...et quand le cortège allait démarrer pour conduire la star dans son hôtel à Hammamet, elle a baissé la vitre fumée et avec sa main, elle faisait signe " à bientôt ". Après le départ du cortège, la foule s'est éparpillée mais on entendait encore la clameur de son nom, quelques uns encore, sous l'effet ensorceleur de leur chanteuse favorite, d'autres qui n'arrivaient pas à croire qu'ils l'ont vue de leurs yeux où ceux qui ont pu la prendre en photos...

Mariah Carey à Tunis : Un accueil chaleureux en attendant le spectacle 
«I’m so excited to be in Tunisia» déclarait Mariah Carey avec un sourire désarmant dans le spot publicitaire diffusé sur notre chaîne satellitaire T7 et sur d’autres antennes. Le mercredi soir, la belle diva est arrivée à l’aéroport Tunis-Carthage et défilé sous les yeux éblouis de ses nombreux fans. C’est vers 22h30 que l’avion privé de la belle Mariah a atterri après deux escales à Francfort et à Saint Tropez. Comme à l’accoutumée et comme le veut la tradition d’accueil chez nous, Mariah Carey a été accueillie avec de magnifiques bouquets de «jasmin» et des colliers de «fell». Sur les rythmes d’une troupe musicale folklorique et avec sa petite robe noire qui laisse apparaître des jambes longilignes, Mariah Carey a quitté le salon d’honneur. Les mots qu’elle a prononcés dans le spot sont devenus, aujourd’hui, une réalité... La diva n’a pu cacher son bonheur d’être sur la terre de Carthage. En arrivant à l’aéroport Tunis-Carthage, Mariah était accompagnée et bien entourée par son équipe composée de maquilleur, coiffeur, masseur personnel, bodygards... et musiciens. Les fans de Mariah Carey n’ont pas loupé cette occasion pour contempler la beauté de cette vedette même de loin. Organisés par «Intervalle events», les deux concerts sont prévus pour demain et pour le 24 de ce mois pour annoncer «Les aventures de Mimi» dans le monde entier.

Demain au Stade olympique d’El Menzah 
• Facilités de transport et réduction de 50% sur les billets de train • Bénéfices au profit d’associations humanitaires Mariah Carey est enfin parmi nous. Arrivée mercredi soir, elle donnera son premier concert en Tunisie demain au Stade olympique d’El Menzah. Le second grand rendez-vous avec la star aura lieu lundi 24 juillet. A peine débarquée de son avion privé la star a fait connaissance avec un public qu’elle rencontre pour la première fois, celui des Tunisiens et dont elle dit être contente de découvrir. Un staff énorme dont 38 musiciens accompagne la chanteuse. La scène du Stade olympique d’El Menzah a subi de grands changements. Une large scène a été installée à l’occasion et un effort particulier a été fait au niveau de l’éclairage. Des indices édifiants qui promettent un spectacle de haut niveau et très divertissant. Outre les préparatifs techniques, les organisateurs de l’événement, ont veillé à offrir aux spectateurs un maximum de confort en pensant, notamment, à leur faciliter le transport. Des réductions de 50% seront, ainsi, consenties sur le prix des billets de train les 22 et 24 de ce mois pour tous ceux qui seront munis de leurs billets pour le spectacle. D’autre part, le transport à l’intérieur du Grand-Tunis sera assuré avant et après le spectacle. L’événement est de taille. Il permettra à des milliers de fans de voir enfin leur star et à des milliers de jeunes Tunisiens de découvrir un spectacle particulier et de haute qualité. Cependant, c’est surtout l’aspect humanitaire de l’événement qui lui donne encore plus de valeur. Les bénéfices des deux spectacles seront, en effet, reversés au profit d’associations à finalité humanitaire dont, notamment, l’association locale de protection des handicapés au Snad (Gafsa), l’Association tunisienne de promotion des enfants et des jeunes handicapés d’El Mallassine (Tunis), l’Association «Rahma» des handicapés de Sejnane (Bizerte), l’Association locale de soutien aux handicapés d’El Oueslatia (Kairouan) et l’Association locale «El Baraka» de promotion des handicapés à Majel Belabbès (Kasserine).

| De nombreux fans accueillent Mariah Carey
à Tunis, où elle doit faire son retour sur scène
Des centaines de fans ont réservé un accueil débordant de chaleur à la chanteuse américaine Mariah Carey à son arrivée mercredi tard dans la soirée à Tunis, où elle doit donner deux concerts, pour son retour sur scène après une éclipse de trois ans. Vêtue d'une courte robe noire courte mettant en relief ses désormais célèbres jambes, la star a été ravie de rencontrer au bas de la passerelle de l'avion spécial à bord duquel elle a fait le voyage avec son équipe, le "ballet des anges", un groupe de danse de la chorégraphe tunisienne Sihem Belkhodja. Selon les organisateurs, Mariah Carey désirait être accueillie par des enfants. Les représentants des associations caritatives auxquelles sera versée une partie des recettes des concerts étaient également venus saluer la vedette américaine. "Je suis très contente d'être en Tunisie et de rencontrer ces gens gentils et accueillants", a-t-elle déclaré à la presse. A sa sortie du salon d'honneur de l'aéroport international de Tunis-Carthage, la diva new-yorkaise a tenu à se mêler à la foule qui attendait de la voir depuis plusieurs heures. Collier de jasmin autour du cou, elle a bravé le cordon de sécurité pour serrer la main à ses fans et poser avec les troupes de musique populaire en tenue traditionnelle. "Mariah, Mariah", criaient, enthousiastes, ses jeunes fans en brandissant des portraits de la vedette et des pancartes colorées avec l'inscription "welcome Mimi in Tunisia". "Je suis une inconditionnelle de Mariah Carey, j'adore ses chansons et je la trouve très belle", a confié Najla Mhamedi. "Je vais la voir samedi avec ma soeur, c'est une occasion rêvée pour moi", s'est réjouie cette lycéenne de 13 ans. Safia, étudiante, était quant à elle exténuée par la longue attente aux alentours de l'aéroport. "Enfin, je lui ai serrée la main et je l'ai vue en chair et en os, elle est ravissante", s'est-elle exclamée. Pour sa première apparition en terre africaine, la chanteuse aux 160 millions de disques vendus dans le monde chantera exclusivement à Tunis, avant d'entamer une tournée estivale aux Etats-Unis et au Canada. Elle se produira samedi et lundi prochains au stade d'El Menzah de la capitale tunisienne, dont la capacité est d'environ 40.000 personnes. Auparavant, elle fera du tourisme dans la station balnéaire huppée de Yasmine-Hammamet, à 70 km de Tunis et dans le village pittoresque de Sidi Bousaïd qui surplombe la cité antique de Carthage avec ses célèbres vestiges romains.

| Lee Daniels Morphs From Iconoclastic Producer
Into an Iconoclastic Director
The first film Lee Daniels produced, “Monster’s Ball,” told the story of a young black woman, who unwittingly falls in love with the white middle-aged prison guard who executed her husband. The second, “The Woodsman,” follows a pedophile who tries to assimilate into society after a 12-year jail term. “Shadowboxer,” his directorial debut, which opens Friday, is no less twisted and controversial than his previous work. It tells the story of two contract killers, Rose and Mikey (Helen Mirren and Cuba Gooding Jr.), a stepmother and stepson, who happen to be lovers. And, if that weren’t enough, Rose is dying of cancer. He decided to direct because he wanted to exert more control over his projects. His filmmaking style, he said, is more European than American. “Here we like everything wrapped in a neat bow: boy meets girl, boy gets girl, explosion, explosion, clap, clap, clap.” He returns to producing with his next film, “Tennessee,” about two brothers who escape an abusive father, only to find out that one is dying of cancer. Mariah Carey stars as an aspiring country singer who loves Dolly Parton. “It’s messy,” Mr. Daniels said, “and I’ll leave it at that.” Source: New York Times (All rights reserved) (extract) Heroes note: You can read the full article on this link, it's very interesting.

| The rumor of Mariah being featured on a new
2 Pac album surfaces again
As previously reported (see May the 29th. news about the collabs), a poster on a HipHop forum claims since April to have inside infos about an upcoming 2 Pac album featuring a lot of artists including Mariah. Of course it's still a rumor as since then, nothing has changed or been confirmed... oh, I almost forgot, something has changed, DJ Quick is in jail. Posted on July the 19th. |
| Rumors, rumors, rumors...
On a lot of Tunisian forums and even in the streets of Tunis, they spread rumors the concerts at "El Menzah" are soldout. Until now, none of the concerts are soldout. Some people are spreading rumors to sell tickets on the black market. Proof it's not selling that well (at the moment) is that they now added at few ticket sale points in Tunis City. Two bars and even a supermarket (Carrefour) are now selling tickets. But after all, it could sell very well, as Tunisians are known to buy concert tickets at the very last minute.

At least 5 hotels are rumored, one in the city center where Michael Jackson stayed 10 years ago (but it's not that luxurious anymore), a few others outside Tunis where it's better to enjoy some privacy and better for security (which is a very important point of this trip).

| Boyz II Men singer Shawn Stockman about Mariah
For a recent telephone interview, Stockman was reached in Toledo, Ohio, where he was working with Swagga Boyz -- an emerging hip-hop group signed to his Soul Chemistry Projects production company. Q: Mariah Carey posted a strong comeback with her last album. Do you look at that and say, "We could do it as big again"? A: Of course. Mariah is talented, and you can't denounce her talent. Yeah, she's gone through a couple of personal things, but that didn't change the quality and the texture of her voice. It was only a matter of time before she would rise again and be on top. We feel the same way about ourselves. We're just waiting for our moment. Source: IndyStar (All rights reserved) (extract) Posted on July the 15th. |
| I made a lil' summary and translation of
an article in today's Tunisian newspaper
Mariah wasn't the first choice
they choose her 'cause Shakira was too capricious and Aznavour not interested......
then tell me why the worldwide media is always on Mariah's back?????
"One main goal: To succeed the concert" It's now known that Mariah wasn't the first choice for the concerts which will help to promote tourism in Tunisia. The promotor told his first choice was Shakira but the the capricious demands of the star convinced him to look for someone else. He then contacted French singer Charles Aznavour but the singer refused 'cause he prefered more intimate venues. Then whith the success of "The Emancipation of Mimi" and the announcement of a Tour, he choose Mariah. He then needed to convince the star's tour manager, Michael Richardson. "Michael Richardson is the typical American businessman" tells the promotor. "He first took a lot of infos about Tunisia, then he visited us 2 times before he gave us a big file regarding the organization of the concert. He was finally convinced we were able to organize such a concert and told me: "Everything's ok, you're up to date in Tunisia". They choose the "El Menzah" stadium for security reasons. Talking of security, kids under 12 aren't allowed inside the stadium. Most part of the audience will be standing, drink stands and toilets will be planned to make the long wait of the crowd nicer. The show which is about 1h30 is expected to start around 22h30 (10h30pm). The sales of the tickets is very slow to start, but the promotors have good faith and are hoping for a big touristic repercussion.

| Résumé très intéressant
d'un article de la presse tunisienne
Mariah n'était pas le premier choix ,
on l'a choisie parce que Shakira est trop capricieuse et Aznavour pas intéressé....
alors dites-moi pourquoi la presse mondiale s'en prend toujours à
Mariah????
"Un seul objectif: Réussir ce concert" Il est connu maintenant que Mariah n'était pas le premier choix pour les concerts aidant à promouvoir le tourisme en Tunisie. Le promoteur a dévoilé que son premier choix s'était porté sur Shakira mais les caprices de star de cette dernière l'ont convaincu de chercher ailleurs. Il a ensuite contacté Charles Aznavour mais celui-ci a décliné parce qu'il préfère des salles plus intimes à des stades. C'est ainsi qu'après le succès de "The Emancipation of Mimi" et l'annonce de la préparation d'un Tour, son choix s'est tourné vers Mariah. Il a dû convaincre le Tour manager de la star, Michael Richardson. "Richardson est le businessman américain typique. Il s'est d'abord longuement renseigné sur la Tunisie, puis il nous a rendu deux fois visite avant de nous remettre un épais dossier concernant l'organisation de ce concert. Finalement il a été convaincu que nous étions capables d'organiser un tel concert et il m'a lâché cette phrase lourde de sens: "Everything's ok, you're up to date in Tunisia". Le choix du stade d'El Menzah s'est fait pour des questions de proximité et de sécurité. Parlant de sécurité, les enfants de moins de 12 ans ne seront pas admis dans le stade. La plus grande partie du public sera debout dans le gazon et des buvettes et toilettes seront prévues afin de rendre la longue attente du public plus agréable. Le spectacle d'une durée d'1h30 devrait démarrer vers 22h30. Les ventes de tickets sont très lentes à démarrer, mais les organisateurs ont bon espoir et espèrent une importante retombée touristique.

| "What More Can I Give" to be released after
all???
In a split decision, a civil court jury Friday awarded former Michael Jackson adviser F. Marc Schaffel $900,000 -- far less than he claimed in a complicated dispute over money he said the pop star owed him -- and awarded Jackson $200,000 in his cross-complaint against Schaffel. Schaffel sued for $3.8 million in unpaid commissions, fees and loans, but his claims were later reduced to $1.6 million, and his attorney ultimately asked for $1.4 million before deliberations began Thursday. The trial delved into claims involving work Schaffel did to produce two videos aired on Fox that were intended to rehabilitate Jackson's image in the aftermath of a damaging documentary, and claims involving ``What More Can I Give,'' an ill-fated Jackson song intended to raise funds for victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Several jurors asked after the verdict to see a video of ``What More Can I Give,'' which wasn't played during the trial. Schaffel's attorney obliged, showing a multi-artist production with Jackson leading the singing, and stars such as Mariah Carey, Usher and Beyonce taking turns singing. ``It's so great,'' said juror Cathleen Yancey, 20. ``I think it should be out. There's a lot that would have to happen for it to be released. But I think it should be out.'' L. Londell McMillan, a New York lawyer recently hired by Jackson to restructure his business affairs, said the recording will be released.

| Mariah Looking To Tour For Musical Inspiration
When not onstage during her fast-approaching Adventures of Mimi: The Voice, the Hits, the Tour, Mariah Carey says she'll be laying down the groundwork for her next album. "I'm doing something I've never done before," the singer tells Billboard. "I'm doing the tour bus this time around. There will be much time for writing songs." Carey says she's looking forward to the cross-country drive. "It's an experience I've never had," she says. "It will reconnect me, in a deeper way, to what's going on in the world -- to what people are doing and thinking." The artist says she is looking to the road trip for lyrical and creative inspiration. "I fall back in love with the recording process and the studio when I've been away from it," she offers. As previously reported, Carey's outing begins Aug. 5 in Miami. Three U.S. shows on the itinerary were pulled and substituted with dates in Canada, a move attributed by tour promoter Live Nation more to heat north of the border than softness in the United States. "She sold out Toronto, she sold out Vancouver, she did over 10,000 tickets in Montreal, and she did well in Edmonton," Live Nation VP Brad Wavra says. "Why not gog into Winnipeg and Calgary and add another show in Toronto? The Canadian market is very hot now, and the exchange rate makes it very affordable to go up there and not feel like we're playing for short money." Source: Billboard (All rights reserved) Heroes note: It seems it's an old article they published only now, as we know a second show is added in Toronto and Calgary is on the list.

| British alt-poppers Keane impressed by Mariah's.....
bus
In June, pop group Keane premiered its new single "Is It Any Wonder?" on "The Tonight Show" following headlining guest Mariah Carey — who, as Rice-Oxley recollects it, barely noticed her co-stars, who all are well over 6 feet tall. "Mariah is one of those people who doesn't mix with the hoi-polloi too much," he laughs. "She arrived in this enormous bus ... her entire bus is like an ad, covered in artwork with a huge picture of her on the side, with one of the door handles located on her nipple. It was ... errrr ... impressive." Source: Inside Bay Area (All rights reserved) (extract) Posted on July the 14th. |
| James LeBron likes Mariah
James LeBron, basketball player seemed veeeeeery interested by Mariah at the ESPY Awards. Bill Simmons from ESPN reports: "I happened to be sitting a couple of rows behind LeBron [James], which was funny because every time a female celebrity walked on stage (Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Ashley Judd, etc.), he looked more intense than he did during Game 4 of the Pistons series. If they ever do an ESPN Full Circle for the ESPYS, there needs to be a channel devoted just to LeBron's reactions to everyone who walks out." "A well-known executive (not from ESPN) fell sound asleep during the middle of the show. That was my single favorite moment of the night other than LeBron staring Mariah Carey down like she was an Aston Martin. Hopefully there's videotape."

talking about a possible duet with Janet
Click here to watch it on ET Online. Mariah talks about a duet with Janet on Access Hollywood Mariah Carey tells "Access Hollywood" in an exclusive interview that she's ready to warble withwith Janet Jackson. Mariah's exclusive Janet tip came during an "Access" interview that will air Thursday. Jermaine Dupri, record producer and incidentally, Janet's boyfriend, had earlier revealed that he was hoping to record a duet with Janet and Mariah. When asked about the possibility of a duet with Janet, Mariah told "Access Hollywood's" Nancy O'Dell, "Jermaine (Dupri) keeps saying this, but Jermaine has to call me and tell me about it. I love Janet. Janet is wonderful. I'm a fan. I'll totally do it, but he's got to let me know so we can write the song." When Janet was asked if there was truth to the two multi-Grammy winners teaming up, she played coy with "Access'" Shaun Robinson on the ESPY Awards red carpet Wednesday night saying, "There may be truth to that." Ladies, we look forward to it! Source: Access Hollywood (All rights reserved) Posted on July the 13th. |

to be Mariah Carey"
Dolls star Melody plans solo career Pussycat Dolls stunner Melody Thornton has hinted she'll be the first to quit the sexy group after confessing her first band mates initially hated her and she was far from happy when she wasn't chosen to front the band. The Don't Cha singer insists the girls' happy family image isn't exactly what it seems, and she is only interested in using the group as a stepping stone to become the next Mariah Carey. Thornton tells Blender magazine, "When I first met all of the girls, some of them - not the girls who are in the group now - were not as welcoming. "I was like, 'What? I'm a kid. Leave me alone." The sexy singer admits she has big solo plans: "I'm biding my time... We all see this as a springboard for something else. "Some girls have said, 'It's my dream to be in a pop group,'and I'm like, 'OK, because I want to be Mariah Carey.'" Source: Starpulse Posted on July the 12th. |

| Mariah featured on Sam Moore's upcoming album,
"Overnight Sensational."
Superstars such as Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Mariah Carey and Eric Clapton are among the contributors to soul legend Sam Moore's upcoming album, "Overnight Sensational." The Rhino set was originally expected this spring but was bumped to Aug. 29 to accommodate Moore's performances at several recent festivals. As previously reported, the album was produced by "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson. It will be Moore's first contemporary solo project, following 2002's "Plenty Good Lovin'," which was originally intended for release in 1970 but was shelved for more than three decades. Springsteen joins Moore on "Better To Have and Not Need," while Bad Company/Free's Paul Rodgers guests on the Garth Brooks-penned "We Shall Be Free." Carey and Vince Gill both appear with Moore on "It's Only Make Believe," while Sting and Sheila E enliven "None of Us Are Free." "Overnight Sensational" also features the final recordings from keyboardist Billy Preston, who died last month after a long illness. Preston plays Hammond B-3 organ on "I Can't Stand the Rain" featuring Wynonna, Bekka Bramlett and Bebe Winans and "You Are So Beautiful," which boasts Clapton, Zucchero and Robert Randolph. Here is the track list for "Overnight Sensational": - "I Can't Stand the Rain" featuring Wynonna, Bekka Bramlett, Billy Preston and Bebe Winans - "Better To Have and Not Need" featuring Bruce Springsteen - "Blame It on the Rain" featuring Fantasia - "Lookin' for a Love" featuring Jon Bon Jovi - "Ain't No Love" featuring Steve Winwood - "None of Us Are Free" featuring Sting and Sheila E. - "It's Only Make Believe" featuring Mariah Carey and Vince Gill - "Don't Play That Song (You Lied)" featuring Bekka Bramlett - "If I Had No Loot" featuring Van Hunt, Nikka Costa and Billy F. Gibbons - "Riding Thumb" featuring Travis Tritt and Robert Randolph - "We Shall Be Free" featuring Paul Rodgers - "You Are So Beautiful" featuring Billy Preson, Zucchero, Eric Clapton and Robert Randolph Source: Billboard (All rights reserved) Posted on July the 7th. |
| Mariah's "We Belong Together" wins best lyrics
of the past 13 years
Best lyrics of this generation What are the best song lyrics of the past 13 years? The answer came from more than 5,000 music fans who voted in a lyrics poll by Billboard and USA WEEKEND at Billboard.com. Although all the lyrics of the songs listed below translated into hits, it was no surprise that the most votes, 33%, went to Mariah Carey's We Belong Together. Carey knows how to create lyrical magic by writing incredible songs that really speak to the masses. The proof: "We Belong Together" was the "Hot 100 Song of the Year" at "Billboard's 2005 Music Awards," and it was far and away the biggest hit of last year. Here, your poll results: 1. "We Belong Together," Mariah Carey (2005) 2. "Smooth," Santana, featuring Rob Thomas (1999) 3. "Fallin'," Alicia Keys (2001) 4. "Lose Yourself," Eminem (2002) 5. "Hey Ya!," Outkast (2003) 6. "Stay," Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories (1994) 7. "Gangsta's Paradise," Coolio (1995) 8. "Missing," Everything but the Girl (1994) 9. "No Scrubs," TLC (1999) 10. "Family Affair," Mary J.

| Mariah Carey may be in ET for film shoot
Because mountains will play a siginificant role in the movie "Tennessee," the movie's star Mariah Carey, might pay visit to this area in the fall. MIMI IN EAST TENNESSEE? Look cool, y'all. Sultry Top 40 siren Mariah Carey could be in the house -- and by "house," I mean the Knoxville area -- in a few months to film her new movie, titled, appropriately enough, "Tennessee." What? How can this be? Why is she doing this? Enough with your questions already. Am I not a mere mortal? OK, here's the scoopage. Former Knoxville resident Russell Schaumburg wrote the screenplay for "Tennessee," an independent film going into production in November. It's about two brothers who hit the road to Tennessee to reunite with their estranged father. Russell is a 1989 Webb High School graduate, and "Tennessee" is the first major screenplay he has sold. Part of the movie plays out in New Mexico, another part in Texas, and the last part in Nashville and the East Tennessee area, near the mountains. "I think there is a really good chance they will shoot something in East Tennessee," Russell told the Insider recently. "Mountains play a significant thematic role in the movie." If it happens, the filming probably would happen either at the end of the year or early 2007. And, of course, Mariah would be part of it along with co-stars James D'Arcy and Ethan Peck. Mariah, or "Mimi," as the peeps in the biz call her, will play Krystal (yes, named after the restaurant), an aspiring country music singer who gets caught up in a road trip to Tennessee. "She plays an important role in helping the boys go home," Schaumburg says. Schaumburg has not met Mariah yet, but he's already daydreamed about what he would show her of his hometown. "You know about the fireflies up in the mountains that do their dance? I would love to take her there to see it," Schaumburg says. "I think she'd dig that. And I'd probably take her to eat at the Tomato Head." Later he e-mailed the Insider to amend his dream: "I would take Mariah on a boat down the Tennessee River to a big UT football game. I mean, that's a no-brainer! "It's true East Tennessee at its best: A big boat, a big game, a big time at Neyland Stadium in the fall -- that's the ticket." After that? "Well, I'd like for her to do a private concert at the Tennessee Theatre for me and 1,000 of my closest friends," he says with a laugh. Ah, that boy dreams big.

| Mariah restera plus d'une semaine à
Tunis
Le mégaspectacle se met en place Pour confirmer la bonne marche des préparatifs pour les deux concerts de la célèbre chanteuse Mariah Carey, M. Issam Allani, l’organisateur de spectacles et responsable d’«Intervalle Events», et ses partenaires ont tenu un nouveau point de presse au centre de conférences de l’Atce. M. Allani a rassuré la nombreuse assistance sur la préparation et les préparatifs des concerts des 22 et 24 juillet. «80 000 billets sont en vente pour les deux spectacles et les bureaux de vente sont indiqués sur tous les journaux et les autres médias. Toutes les dispositions ont été prises pour garantir la réussite des spectacles. D’autre part, pour parer à toute éventualité de falsification, nous avons imprimé les billets sur un support avec méthode holographique en Allemagne et les avons testés en France», a-t-il ajouté. Il a ensuite rappelé que la médiatisation est assez large à l’étranger, particulièrement en Europe à travers les bureaux de l’Ontt, et que les billets, dont les prix sont fixés selon les zones à 35, 40, 50 et 200 dinars, sont en vente dans les box de Tunisair. «Ceci est de nature à promouvoir la destination et principalement le produit de l’industrie du spectacle, un volet fort méconnu encore». Quant au transport des citoyens, munis de leur billet et habitant les régions de l’intérieur du pays, «il sera gratuit et assuré par nos soins», a tenu à préciser M. Allani. Et concernant la vedette ? «Elle avait l’intention d’arriver chez nous juste la veille du premier spectacle, mais après avoir pris connaissance des paysages tunisiens, elle a décidé de venir plus tôt. Elle donnera, ainsi, une conférence de presse le 18 juillet». Sur le plan technique, les préparatifs vont bon train : 23 camions, une centaine de tonnes de petits et gros matériels qui subiront des essais suffisamment à l’avance, une cinquantaine de personnes, entre musiciens, assistants et gardes de corps se déplaceront avec la chanteuse et la scène sera testée et prête plusieurs jours à l’avance. Et, comme coup de pouce supplémentaire pour renforcer la promo, M. Allani a rappelé que la star est placée troisième en vente de disques après les Beatles et Elvis Presley.

| What will be the future of Atlantic City?
Atlantic City Casinos Are Shuttered by N.J. Budget Impasse Atlantic City has been experiencing a bit of a rebound in classiness of late. A street of rundown tenements has made way for the Walk, a warren of upscale outlets such as those of Coach and Mikasa. The Tropicana Hotel and Casino built a three-story structure with about a dozen restaurants and clubs. And last week, Caesars Atlantic City resort hotel and casino opened the Pier at Caesars, the latest renovation of the old Steeplechase amusement pier, which will eventually have 90 stores such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Burberry, as well as 10 more restaurants. Miss America and her datedness have left, but Jay-Z and his first hip nightclub outside of New York have come. "I am just hoping Atlantic City will have no tarnished image after this," said Linda M. Kassekert, chairman of the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, whose 190 inspectors were furloughed after they had counted the casinos' winnings and made sure the chips, keys and cash were secure. The casinos average $16.3 million in winnings each day, of which 8 percent, or approximately $1.3 million, goes to a state fund earmarked to help the elderly and the disabled. Kassekert said that after the budget is passed, or if the governor relents on the furloughs, her inspectors can get the casinos rolling again in "two or three hours." "We just feel caught in the middle," said Joseph A. Corpo Jr., vice president and general counsel of the Borgata, and also president of the Casino Association of New Jersey, the industry's trade group. "It is senior citizens who benefit from this. We understand the impasse, but we are certain that keeping us open would generate more money than the state is saving." Despite its attempt to go upscale, though, Atlantic City still has its grimness. Much of the Boardwalk is seedy, and streets farther back from the casinos are poor and crime-infested. The city of 40,000, for instance, has no movie theater or even a supermarket. Madonna, Mariah Carey and Barbra Streisand grace billboards announcing that they are coming to Atlantic City soon, but on-the-Boardwalk "entertainment" includes an off-key trumpeter with a tattered case open for tips, and an awkward tap-dancing woman spouting lines from the Bible just a few feet away.

After the official launch in mid-June and a parade down Main Street on the 4th of July, each "star" dog will be auctioned off, with the help of Donna Anderson www.fundraisingauctioneer.com, at a singular benefit event on August 1st-the proceeds of which will support Aspen Filmfest's extensive year-round youth education programs. For those not able to join in on the benefit auction, additional celebrity dogs will be auctioned off online through Charity Folks www.charityfolks.com September 1-15, 2006.

| Packages for Tunis
After the 2 French tour operators I found last week, Italian fan site MariahLivelet me know that an Italian tour operator is now offering packages for a trip to Tunis (apparently even to non Italian fans too). Go take a look at Ranalli Travel. Heroes note: Just like the French tour operators last week, apparently the prices are not that great, as for exemple, a departure from Rome (which will be the cheapest one), is minimum 410 Euros with the lowest category of ticket for 1 concert. Fans were expecting a very good deal, which's not really the case. A lot of them already booked their flight and hotel in Tunis on their own. However if you're interested you can contact the tour operator for complete infos. Posted on July the 6th. |

| Mariah was the only other woman to finish
among the top 17 artists
Tupac Shakur, Jay-Z and Notorious B.I.G. were crowned the top three artists in a poll conducted by Remy Martin as part of the company's second Black Music Month initiative. Part of the June initiative included a poll on Remy Martin's website where the popular cognac maker invited visitors to vote for their favorite songs and artists in hip-hop soul history. The site maintained a regularly updated leaderboard displaying the top 17 artists and 38 songs until the polls closed last week on June 30th. Over 10,000 votes were cast in the poll, which was limited to visitors age 21 or older who were allowed to vote for as many as five artists and/or songs each. The late Tupac Shakur scored both top-artist and top-song honors, leaving his mark with his hit song "Hail Mary." R&B chanteuse Mariah Carey was the only other woman to finish among the top 17 artists, although Keyshia Cole and Lauryn Hill made appearances on the top song list.

| CD format gets a "reboot" from Universal Music
The world's biggest record company is not ready to give the compact disc up for dead just yet, and is giving the venerable music format a revamp. Universal Music Group, home to artists such as U2 and Mariah Carey, is rolling out three new tiers of CD packaging in Europe, ranging from lush deluxe editions down to bare-bones cardboard sleeves that are designed to compete with albums sold online. Despite the hype about online music stores like iTunes, the huge majority of music is still sold on CDs, usually inside the "jewel boxes" that have been around for decades. "We thought we should reboot the consumer's experience of buying CDs," said Max Hole, executive vice president for marketing and A&R at Universal Music Group International. "Ninety percent of what we sell is physical goods, and the CD hasn't had much of a revamp in the last 20 years." The middle tier of Universal's CDs will be sold in a new "super jewel box" designed to be stronger and more durable than the standard jewel box. Universal Music plans to absorb the extra manufacturing costs, estimated to be about 3 to 5 euro cents per unit. Although it does not set retail prices, Universal Music expects the deluxe CDs to sell for an average of 19.99 euros (14 pounds), the standard for 14.99 euros and the basic for 9.99 euros. The group is part of France's Vivendi. The basic package will be used to stimulate sales for catalogue albums that have been on sale for a while, "similar to a paperback book," Hole said. Universal Music expects digital sales to double to about 10 percent of its sales this year, with digital making up 25 percent of revenues by 2010.

| Mariah featured in " Essence Cares" campaign
video
Jakes implores black community to support children Bishop T.D. Jakes isn't giving up on the nation's black youth, and on Saturday he implored members of the black community to adopt the same mind-set. The three-day Essence Fest, featuring daylong seminars and nights filled with top-name musical acts, began its 12th installment Saturday. This is the first year it's been held outside New Orleans. Essence is using this weekend to launch its Essence Cares program, designed to promote involvement in organizations that help children affected by substandard education, poverty, gang violence and natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, which swamped New Orleans last year. The Essence Cares campaign is being promoted in a short video featuring celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Danny Glover, Mariah Carey and Harry Belafonte.

| I made a lil' summary and translation of
the article below
She's so "Mimi" (as in French mimi means cute) Finally the tickets for the concerts in Tunis went on sale this week and according to the boss of Intervalle Events (promoting the event), 30.000 posters and 1.000 huge posters are displayed through the country. Commercials are also broadcasted on radios and TV channels. As Mariah is the artist of 2006, it's a big event for Tunisia and it's her first concert in Africa. She loved Africa back in 2000 when she visited Morocco with then boyfriend Luis Miguel and she even wore a traditional dress during her stay. Tunis will be the start of the Tour. These 2 concerts in Tunis will be the start of the star's Tour: «The Adventures Of Mimi… The Voice … The Hits… The Tour». The singer will perform songs of her latest album and remixed songs of her classics in order to make them sound more actual. "My All", "One Sweet Day", "Hero", "Close My Eyes" will be part of the setlist along with more festive and explosive RnB/HipHop tracks such as "Fantasy" and "It's Like That". Two concerts but not the same ones. Every concert will be a unique and exclusive moment even more as Mariah will debut her Tour in Tunis, she will probably test a maximum of songs to our biggest pleasure.

| Mariah Carey à Tunis, un coup de cœur
«Mimi» comme tout ! Les sceptiques sont enfin rassurés. La confirmation de la venue en Tunisie de Mariah Carey, «Mimi» pour les intimes, s’est concrétisée cette semaine, par la mise en vente des billets du concert en Tunisie et en Europe, selon M. Issam Allani, directeur général de la société Intervalle Events, organisateur de l’événement, elle s’est également matérialisée par la mise en place sur l’ensemble de la République tunisienne de 30.000 affiches d’un mètre 20 sur 80 cm ainsi que 1.000 affiches géantes de plus de deux mètres de haut. D’autre part, précise-t-il, «la campagne publicitaire télévisuelle et radiophonique a également démarré, donnant un avant-goût des spectacles exceptionnels auxquels les spectateurs tunisiens et européens auront le plaisir d’assister au milieu de ce mois». Artiste de tous les records Pour cette société, spécialisée depuis maintenant 10 ans dans l’événementiel, il aura fallu un an de travail pour aboutir à la venue de Mimi. L’artiste de tous les records de l’année 2006, avec notamment ces trois Grammy Awards raflés lors de la dernière édition de la plus prestigieuse compétition musicale du monde, chantera donc les 22 et 24 juillet 2006 au Stade olympique d’El Menzah, à Tunis ! Un premier live en Afrique et plutôt deux fois qu’une !! Son coup de cœur pour l’Afrique du Nord avait commencé en 2000, alors qu’elle visitait le Maroc avec son fiancé de l’époque Luis Miguel et qu’elle apprenait à apprécier la cuisine marocaine. On avait même vu la star porter un habit marocain traditionnel lors de son séjour ! C’est pourtant la Tunisie que l’artiste aux 9 millions d’albums vendus pour son dernier opus, «The Emancipation Of Mimi», a choisi pour se produire dans le cadre du démarrage de sa tournée très attendue par ses milliers de fans ! Des soirées pleines de surprises Ces deux dates constitueront le coup d’envoi de sa tournée exclusivement américaine intitulée «The Adventures Of Mimi… The Voice … The Hits… The Tour». Mariah a déjà communiqué lors de précédentes interviews quelques éléments concernant la programmation de sa tournée… La belle interprétera des titres de son dernier album ainsi que ses chansons classiques dans de nouvelles versions remixées inédites «pour qu’elles sonnent plus modernes», a-t-elle avancé. Une chose est sûre, tout le monde trouvera son compte : les romantiques savoureront les belles ballades qui ont fait la renommée de la diva, «My All», «One Sweet Day», «Hero», «Close My Eyes», les fêtards se déhancheront sur les titres R’n’B/hip-hop explosifs de la chanteuse tels que «Fantasy» ou encore «It’s Like That»… Deux concerts, mais pas les mêmes D’autre part, il est hors de question pour elle de dupliquer le même concert pour les deux dates. En effet, Mariah, qui s’est déjà exprimée sur le sujet, a assuré que le planning des concerts et la liste des chansons seront en permanence revus et qu’aucune date ne ressemblera à une autre lors de sa tournée. Chaque concert sera donc un moment unique et exclusif. D’autant que, dans la mesure où Mariah débutera sa tournée en Tunisie, elle testera probablement le maximum de chansons sur les deux dates pour notre plus grand plaisir. Un beau prétexte pour ses fans qui ont d’ores et déjà réservé leur places pour les deux concerts!!! Source: La Presse de Tunisie (Tous droits réservés) Posted on July the 2nd. |
