| Anastacia On Mariah
Evasen sent me a piece from an interview Anastacia did with People magazine recently where she mentions Mariah... Do you sometimes feel a little annoyed that people treat you like a goddess? No, not at all, I think that there are certainly advantages that come with fame. I'm still shocked when people assume that I want them to bow down to me and treat me like royalty. I can still open my own door and pour my own drink. I'm not a diva, that's just not me. So we should never compare you to Mariah Carey? No, Mariah Carey is definetly what I would consider somebody who deserves to get a tremendous amount of respect. She has been in this business for a very long time. She has been an incredible writer, an incredible singer and a beautiful lady and whatever these artists go through in their lives is sometimes sad. Mariah has gone through hard times and was at the mercy of the press. I commend her for holding her head up through it all. You know, the public really doesn't make it easy for people like us to go through a difficult thing.. Source: MariahDaily. Posted on March the 28th. (Day +1) |

| I'm feeling blue for you guys
Here's an extract of an interview that we read: "D: We're going to play a diva's song next. I watched the film 'Glitter' last night and I thought it was absolutely appalling. Bless Mariah Carey! I'm sorry, but if you're listening, you can't act darling! I'm not being nasty but it wasn't the greatest I've seen! But you do have a great voice. A: I liked the ending. Best part of the film wasn't it! D: Anyway, I'm going to choose a song from Mariah because I think she's absolutely wicked and I think she should stick to singing. One of my favourites is called 'Hero'. L: 'Hero' is one of my most favourite songs that she's ever done. I love the emotion in her voice when she's singing it. I don't know if she had a sore throat or anything that day, but it's great! She either had a sore throat or she was actually crying in that booth! S: I think she does too much twiddling in her songs these days, too many scales." Source: Abstracts. Comments: Hey guys, I know that everyone has his own tastes and thank to A, he liked the end of Glitter. Thank to you all you like Hero. But, you are brand new in the music world and there's maybe a thing you need to learn, it's to not give a false image of yourselves. I'm not an artist, but I can tell you that you have maybe a promising career as actors, 'cause when I met you by accident in the V offices, you are really not what you show to the fans and the public. No charm, no smile. So, my conclusion is that you are really good actors. I thought that blue was a beautifull color, but this color is only beautifull on paper, 'cause in real it's absolutely not the same color. Posted on March the 26th. (Day -1) |

"Pearls of wisdom on beauty shots "You can get everything else in a music video right but if the beauty shot of the singer isn't perfect, chances are it is not going to work," says Daniel Pearl. He has compiled some 500 music video credits and earned countless awards along the way. "The beauty shot is a close-up where the diva connects and reaffirms her relationship with the audience." Following are excerpts of a conversation about beauty shots: You have filmed a lot of beautiful women? Pearl: I've been fortunate to photograph many beautiful divas including Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton, Shania Twain, Janet Jackson and others. They are all beautiful to start with, but it's still a precise science. I model and sculpt everything else with light, but that doesn't apply to beauty shots. Film is a two-dimensional medium and a shadow implies depth. There are only a few shadows tolerated in beauty shots and they've got to be in the right places. Are there basic rules for great beauty shots? Pearl: It's important for your subject to know you really care about them and you can't fake that. The great divas all have an inner beauty. We have to earn their trust so they show us their inner beauty. They have to feel comfortable and relaxed and know that you are going to make them look great. Are there new tools that you find useful? Pearl: There are new, bigger lights and faster films with finer grain structures, but it also comes down to the individual. I designed a special lightbox to shoot Mariah Carey for MTV Unplugged and often came up with a different lighting rig. Denis Reggie He has photographed the wedding of Mariah Carey. Credit: Kodak."

| Carey Forming Her Own Record Label
by Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith It's confirmed: Mariah Carey is forming her own record company. This is the word we get from her attorney, Don Passman, who informs us that the new entity will not only feature Mariah's talents, but other artists', too. According to Passman, they still do not have a launch date or a title for the label. In January, after her initial album for EMI proved to be her first flop since she burst upon the scene in 1990, the firm paid the songstress $28 million to avoid fulfilling the $80 million, four record contract she signed last April. She has been expected to link up with hip-hop label Def Jam or one of many other labels rumored to be courting her -- and this news of her forming a label will come as a major surprise to many. Some are bound to question the wisdom of the 31-year-old singer taking on the stress of her own company such a short time after suffering an emotional and physical breakdown -- with many citing Mariah's workaholic ways as a probable contributing factor. She was hospitalized twice just prior to the release of "Glitter" Sept. 21. She has seemed to be bounding back. She took part in the "America: A Tribute to Heroes" telethon in September, entertained our troops overseas and made an appearance at the Sundance Film Festival in January. But taking on the load of a record company? Is it wise? We'll see. Credit: Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith for TeenHollywood. Posted on March the 12th at 8h30am CET (Day -15) |
| Mariah Carey continues to grow as a musical
artist
By Mary Ann A. Bautista, Inquirer News Service HER voice soars no matter what song she sings. Mariah Carey stamps each song with pain, joy, passion, sincerity and honesty. She practically bares her soul. So when she came out with a compilation album, she had a tough time selecting her songs. She has compiled an extraordinary amount of hits yet she humbly admits that she still has a lot to learn. “I feel like I’m still growing as an artist. I feel that I wrote some of my best songs even before I had a record deal. I have a song, ‘Reflections on Glitter’ which I feel is in the caliber of my best songs. “Because of my songs, I understand myself better as an artist and as a person. I was so young when I started making music. I was just a kid with a demo tape, then the first albums came one after another. I didn’t take a break. “But I like being a workaholic. Though now I can sometimes sit back and appreciate and enjoy the process of making the music. Performing out there can be fun, instead of being on a treadmill that doesn’t stop,” Mariah sighs. Q&A: Is your album reflective of who you are as a person? Yes, it’s a portrait of how I’ve grown as an artist. Some of the big hits were not my favorites, but I’ll always love my song “One Sweet Day” because fans are always requesting it. There’s also “Hero.” I think the most important thing is that the fans get something that they like and that they want to listen to. Some fans say, they’ve never heard the song, “So Blessed” before, or that they want to check out “Daydream.” It’s an emotional journey to have this album. It started with a song that was written in a studio at the back of a woodshed. Thank God, I’m still having fun with my music. Music is what gets me through everything in life. For a songwriter, some songs trigger special memories. Can you share some of your good memories. I remember that I wanted to come together with BoyzIIMen to do “One Sweet Day.” We clicked and we had a similar idea about the melody. I remember writing “Love Takes Time” because we needed a pop song for the album. When I listen to it now I understand why people like it, because it is so simple yet it is also emotional. It’s hard for me to talk about different tracks because they all evoke a different memory. Can you pick a favorite song? “Fantasy” is a definite favorite among the up-tempo records. But there are favorites that I haven’t heard for a long time, songs like “Can’t Let Go” and “Any Time You Need A Friend.” I don’t listen to my own music everyday, especially the older stuff, so it’s nice to do back and hear those songs. It’s hard to pick a favorite because I’m also a songwriter. Are you more comfortable with ballads or upbeat tunes? I like both. People ask me to sing upbeat tunes. People love the regular version as well as the techno-house version of “Dream Lover.” I also like singing ballads because they’re so emotional. You have a knack for turning your ballads into club anthems. What’s your secret? I just watch and listen to my audience. I can redo ballads and turn them into dance records because I collaborate with David Morales. I give him free rein with the track and I re-arrange the vocals and re-write the song. I don’t know, we just get inspired just sitting there, listening to the beat, and singing whatever comes to mind. She also doesn’t mind collaborating with other artists. She did “I’ll Be There” with Trey Lorenz; “Endless Love” with Luther; “One Sweet Day” with BoyzIIMen; “When You Believe” with Whitney Houston and “Thank God I Found You” with Joe and 98 Degrees. What is it about your music that your fans connect with? Each song should lift you out of a bad mood. It should touch you emotionally. A song can do that. Credit: Mary Ann A.

| Mariah Faked Herself For A Movie
During the filming of Mariah Carey's flop movie, "Glitter", the diva tried hard to ensure that her songs were not leaked out prematurely. The filming concluded almost a year before the movie was released to theaters - so this aspect, as you can see, was very important to control. Carey asked her somewhat-sound-alike and background singer Mary Ann Tatum, who portrays the voice of young Mariah in "Glitter", to record renditions of the songs scheduled to be in the film. Those versions were used during filming and the real songs were later laid into the actual movie. Mariah said she could finally rest easy after months of trying to throw potential song scammers off her trail. To ensure this, she even went as far as having Tatum record a song titled "Every Time" and had it leaked out onto the Internet - on purpose. "The whole thing was me saying, 'OK, how can this not get ripped off?' Let me come up with a fake title and not put my voice on this yet," she said. Though her plan worked for the most part, several of Carey's ideas for samples supposedly hit the streets before the "Glitter" soundtrack was available on store shelves. "That's the result of the thievery. But it's OK," she said. Credit: found without copyrights. Source: mariahdaily.com. Posted on March the 6th. (Day -21) |

| Mariah's fans are her guests
Mariah Carey turned glitter into gold for four of her most devoted fans. The pop diva was shocked to learn that four young fans from Spain had arrived at her doorstep Wednesday morning expecting to stay in the "guest" room they had seen on the popular MTV show "Cribs." She had boasted during the show that the room was for her "fans" - and the foursome believed that fans were allowed to actually spend the night. When Carey learned of her crestfallen admirers, she put them up at a four-star TriBeCa hotel. "Speaking in broken English, the kids explained that they saw the guest room on MTV and they came to stay with Mariah," Cindy Berger, Carey's publicist, told The Post. "But the room is actually where Mariah keeps all of her fan mail and gifts." "They follow her everywhere, they've been to all of her European concerts and are really devoted to her," Berger said.

| Pop Diva Carey Talking with Other Labels
By Sue Zeidler Los Angeles - Pop diva Mariah Carey got $28 million to walk away from her gig at music giant EMI Group Plc last month, but now the suitors are lining up for her hand. According to record industry sources, Carey has been discussing potential deals with several major labels, including Island Def Jam, RCA and Elektra, who are interested in capitalizing on her star power despite her flameout with EMI. "Mariah is talking with several companies," a spokeswoman for the star said, refusing to elaborate further. Officials for Vivendi Universal, the parent of Island Def Jam, and AOL Time Warner Inc's Warner Music Group, parent to Elektra, declined comment. Officials from Bertelsmann AG's RCA were unavailable. Carey's lawyer, Donald Passman, told Reuters in January that recording companies had shown interest in the star ever since speculation of her breakup with EMI began circulating weeks late in 2000. Industry sources speculate her next deal will be valued at far below the estimated $80 million to $100 million EMI originally agreed to pay her only to see the singer's new album, "Glitter" and a film by the same name bomb. Under the buyout pact, Carey got $28 million to walk away and retains another $21 million previously paid to her when the EMI contract was first signed in April 2001. "She doesn't need a lot of money at this point. She just needs someone to distribute her music. People still think she's a very marketable brand," said one record label executive. Carey's fallout with EMI has come to symbolize the dysfunctional state of the music industry, which has paid huge sums of money to a few acts that have failed to live up to their value in a year when sales have slid, online piracy has increased and pop stars railed against industry accounting practices. The news also topped a turbulent year for the singer who suffered an emotional and physical breakdown and has figured prominently in gossip columns since the end of her marriage to Sony Corp Sony Music Entertainment chief Tommy Mottola, who discovered her as an 18-year-old waitress. Other artists have recently gone on to bigger and better things after being let go by EMI's Virgin. After recording two albums for Virgin, reggae star Shaggy signed to MCA Records, where his 2000 album, "Hotshot," was one of the best-selling releases last year. And the Wallflowers recorded one little-noticed album for Virgin in 1992 before being let go and landing at Interscope, where their 1996 album, "Bringing Down the Horse," sold 6 million copies worldwide. MCA and Interscope are units of Vivendi Universal. Source: Yahoo news. Posted on March the 1st. (Day -26) |
