Mariah on radio
Here is a transcript of Mariah on capital radio last night:
Mariah Carey Exclusive
Mariah Carey chats about her amazing career to date and what she does with all those awards!
You've just been voted the best vocalist of the past two decades! How did that come about?
It was Blender Magazine and MTV 2 who did the contest. They told me I was in the top five and asked me to tape a 'Thank you' just incase I was number one - and it was! I was really happy, really proud and really excited. And it was voted on by the fans, so I have to thank them for that.
How do you feel about it?
I am very grateful for that type of statement, but I can't really say that I feel that I own that title by any means. I feel that I do what I do, and I'm blessed to have the gift of music. But there are some phenomenal singers out there that I have to always give it up to.
Who would you say is your favourite vocalist of all time?
It's really hard. Of course Stevie Wonder is always my favourite all around artist. But I'm also very inspired by somebody like Karen Clark, who's a gospel artist. I listen to her a lot, and I listen to a lot of Venessa Bell Armstrong. Mini Riberton, I've loved since I was little. There's so many - Aretha Franklin is another - but there's too many to name, I'd be leaving people out.
You have won so many awards over your career to date - what do you do with all of them?
I have these antique award cases that my decorator got me. They mean a lot to me because many of them represent fans voting, and that's what it's all about to me. The awards are for lots of different genres of music, and as a mixed-race person, to cross so many different boundaries really means a lot to me.
You've also just got your 100th certification. Just explain what that means?
When your record goes gold, which is a different number in each country, you get a certification - a gold certification. When it goes platinum, you get another certification, and so on and so forth. So, it means I've just got my 100th with 'Charm Bracelet'. The RIAA, the organisation monitors, gave me this blue diamond award, which I think is the first year they have given it out, and we had a fabulous party in LA, which was really fun. I was very grateful because 'Charm Bracelet' the album is very personal to me, and if it's not my best album, it's definitely in the top two because it's one of the most honest records I've ever made. That and 'Butterfly' epitomise who I am as an artist.
Your mother was an opera singer. What did you learn from her about music?
She taught me how to harmonise, and a lot about breathing control. But I think the main contribution that she made was teaching me to believe in myself.
Your voice stretches over an amazing five octaves. How do you go about hitting those notes?
It's just a feel thing. When I'm feeling it I know I can do it, if not I'll take it down low, but that's the beauty of singing.
What has been the high point for Mariah Carey so far?
There have been so many moments that were really high points, but I didn't get to soak them in and enjoy them. This year - particularly with the blue diamond award - has been incredible for me so far. I also just got a Soul Train lifetime achievement award, which was really cool. It did seem a little early to be getting that, but it was still amazing!
What's next for Mariah Carey?
I look at every day as a new creative moment. There's a lot of things that I'm doing that aren't necessarily music related, which I'm keeping to myself for the moment. As an artist there are a lot of contributions I can make that might make a difference - the charity work that I do is very important to me.
On September 11th you dedicated 'Never Too Far Away' and 'Hero' to the firemen in New York. Tell us about that?
I'm from New York and still live there, and my view used to be of the Twin Towers. And now I look out of my window and it's just void. I think all New Yorkers came together on that day, and I really felt that the firemen and the victims' families need a pick-me-up, so I went to Ground Zero and did that type of thing.
Let's talk about the Congretional Award of Honour that was handed to you for your contribution to youth work and non-profit organisations...
That was totally shocking to me. It's nice, but I don't do these charitable things to get accolades, I do it because it really means something to people. Particularly if you're working with young people and you can have a positive impact on their lives, it's really important to do.
Any plans for a UK tour in the near future?
I'm definitely coming back to the UK, probably in October. I haven't released any dates yet, but I do know that I will be here. The tour for the 'Charm Bracelet' album is going to be very different for me than the other things I've done because it is such a personal record.
You've collaborated with a host of top artists - how do you decide who's next?
It's usually inspired by the track or the record. I don't know who's next, it just sort of happens!

EU plans major music and movie piracy confab 
BRUSSELS -- Measures to combat music and movie piracy will be discussed by ministers, officials, academics and executives at a conference April 7-8 in Athens. The Greek government, which currently holds the rotating six-month presidency of the European Union, said it wants to determine the instruments available to the EU to stamp out the rampant illegal copying that the cinema and music industries claim is decimating them. The Culture, Copyright and Information Society conference will be hosted by Greek Culture Minister Evangelos Venizelos and will feature officials from EU governments, the European Commission and the World Intellectual Property Organization as well as university professors, lawyers and representatives from the music and movie industries. The delegates will address whether the new file-sharing technologies make copyright protection irrelevant. (Leo Cendrowicz )

Da Brat teams up with Mariah
Here are some extracts from VH1's interview with Da Brat: "I've just been working hard," said Da Brat, who dropped her last LP, Unrestricted, in 2000. "Even though you ain't been seeing me, I've been getting money on the low. I have my own little label and I have artists. Me and Mariah [Carey] have a group coming out called Baby Girl, [and] it's two girls. I've been doing a whole lot of stuff." "I have a song with Mariah called 'Can't Let Go,' " she continued. "It's an automatic hit. It describes how I can't let go of the industry, I can't let go of the game. I'm always gonna be here." (VH1.com)

Mariah nieuws
Ik wou je gewoon ff laten weten dat er nieuws over Mariah op de site van JIM TV staat, en tis eens geen negatief nieuws, het is het volgende: Mariah Carey gaat deze zomer voor een tournee naar Japan. Het eerste concert is op 24 juni in Osaka. Daarna volgen er live-optredens in Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Tokyo en Nagoya. In totaal zijn er 10 live-data in Japan. De trournee is ter promotie van haar meest recente cd "Charmbracelet". Van het album wordt "Bringin' On The Hearbreak" de volgende single. Aan de begeleidende videoclip wordt meegewerkt door onder anderen dave Navarro, de gitarist, van Jane's Addiction. Het origineel van "Bringin' On the Heartbreak" is van Def Leppard. Hun uitvoering staat op de cd "High'n' Dry" uit 1981. De huidige single van Mariah Carey in Europa is "Boy (I Need You)", een bewerking van "Oh Boy" van de Newyorkse rapper Cam'ron. In de remake is hij ook zelf te horen.

Mariah to perform in UK club "G-A-Y"
G-A-Y NEWSFLASH 
I have just come back from a meeting with one of the world's biggest SUPERSTARS who wants to perform at G-A-Y this Sat (22nd March). She will be the biggest name ever to perform at G-A-Y. This is no exaggeration. Without giving too much away she is one of the best selling female artists of all time. If you want to know who it is, you need to be at G-A-Y this Saturday night. The reason that we are not saying who it is, because this is a one off never to be repeated event for G-A-Y fans only. LIBERTY X will also still be performing on Saturday night and then followed by our mystery surprise. All I'm going to say to you is that you have a choice, you can come on Saturday and be apart of what everyone will be talking about or you can miss out and just hear about what you have missed. A G-A-Y WORLD EXCLUSIVE - I KNOW WHO IT IS - CAN YOU GUESS?
G-A-Y staff confirms Mariah is performing tomorrow.

Mariah's antics in England!
Oh my god! This visit is going so well for Mariah and her UK fans! Early Wed morning she arrived at 4:00am and had photos taken with fans and signed autographs. The mariahcareyuk.com team took the opportunity to present Mariah with a book illustrating our recent reluanch with all the cartoons. Mariah said it sounded cool and she wanted to read it properly.
Wed afternoon we saw her leave her London hotel to go to the Graham Norton show. Her ensemble was very appropriate for Graham Norton's camp show! She posed for the many press members and then went on to sign autographs again. It was really cool because there were some fans who hadn't seen Mariah before and they were very excited. There should be some excellent fan photos from this time at the hotel. Mariah spotted two of our team members and they got to ask her if she had a chance to read the book we gave her in the early hours of the morning. She said "Yes! I love it, it's great!" so we we're all real happy Mariah had the chance to see the work we've done on the new design and that she commented on it! We spoke with a fan who went to the Graham Norton show and they said Mariah was the sole guest and performed Through The Rain and Boy (I Need You). At one point Graham presented Mariah with a music box and she said it was cute but then she opened to reveal an unexpected surprise! For another part of the show Mariah had to throw a dart at a board with fans' pictures on from all over Europe. The one the dart landed on Mariah phoned to say hi! Mariah impressed Graham immensley by recognising and naming several of the fans featured on the board! Graham had to assure the audience that it wasn't fixed. It just shows that Mariah truly loves her fans and remembers faces!
Thursday Mariah leaves Claridges at 1pm to pre-record an interview with Capital FM and then she will record a Top Of The Pops performance in the early evening. On Friday she will do more radio interviews and hold her launch party.

Mariah buying a home in Ireland?
Is Mariah planning to buy a home in Ireland? "The singer has told estate agents in Co Wicklow that she wants to buy a huge house in the Emerald Isle. "She has Irish blood through her mother's side of the family so it makes sense she should move there. She'll fit in really well." Mariah, who releases her single Oh Boy (I Need You) on March 24, is very excited about the big move. And I'd imagine most of the male population of Wicklow can't wait either." (The Sun)

It looks as though there are no plans for BMG to release "I Know What You Want" as a commercial single in the USA. FMQB.COM writes "...haven't we learned anything from Island/Def Jam and RCA/J's combined effort on the Busta Rymes & Mariah Carey? Radio doesn't care about singles and record companies care only about moving albums, so the choice should be clear...you may or may not get worked on it but we're tipping you to it now." The song has already jumped to #30 with only 3 weeks on the Billboard charts. We'll see what happens!

Mariah in Metro
Metro is the newspaper that is free at all London train stations. Each morning every single copy is snatched up and people on their way to work read it. They're usually nice to Mariah when she's in there so it's great promo for her just before she is about to visit the UK! Boy, I Need You, Mariah Tells British Admirers Madonna is mad for them and Gwyneth is a convert. Now Mariah Carey has joined the bandwagon of American Female celebrities to fall under the spell of British men. The singer, in London next week to promote her latest single, said: 'England is a really cool place and I like the men over there. They have a dashing quality about them.' Carey, 32, also revealed plans for a world tour later in the year, with several concerts in Britain. The new single, Boy (I Need You), is the second track from her album Charmbracelet, which has sold more than 2.5 milion copies. Her success marks a stunning comeback after a disastrous 2002, when her £70 million, five album deal with EMI was pulled after her album Glitter flopped. Her film debut of the same name was also panned. EMI gave her a £20 million payoff then she suffered a breakdown. But Carey, the worlds best selling female performer, bounced back with a three-album, £14 million deal with Island Records.

Mariah Carey hits very high note on MTV2 list
By Edna Gundersen, USA TODAY
Mariah Carey is the greatest voice of the past two decades. So declares MTV2, which unveils its highly debatable list of the era's most unique and powerful voices at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT Saturday. On the two-hour 22 Greatest Voices- first in a series of countdowns that also will anoint rappers, bands and performers - celebrities, critics and fans weigh in on the roster, determined by votes cast at MTV2.com. Freddie Mercury was second, trailed by Whitney Houston, Bono, Christina Aguilera, Alanis Morissette, Kurt Cobain, Bjork, Celine Dion, Tupac Shakur, Michael Jackson, Chris Cornell, Eminem, David Bowie, Alicia Keys, Steven Tyler, Jewel, Thom Yorke, Mary J. Blige, Michael Stipe, Sade and Bruce Springsteen. Quibbles and quarrels are expected and welcome. The list's diversity results from broadly defined criteria that go beyond "range and style," says Tom Calderone, music and talent vice president at MTV2 and big sister MTV. "We considered how the voice complements the music and connects with listeners. It comes down to how compelling and influential that voice is to people's lives." Why no Billie Holiday or Roy Orbison? The list surveys only the past 20 years, a timeline familiar to MTV2 viewers and a period conveniently rife with readily available video footage.

Mariah Carey's New Video

Mariah Carey's latest CD is called "Charm Bracelet." And she has a lucky charm on her new song ­ "American Idol's" Randy Jackson. But he's not the only famous face we discovered for today's Extra Mix.
She's looking sexy and feeling flirty and "Extra" caught Mariah Carey flaunting some form fitting flower power. It was all sunflowers and butterflies, sixties concert style, for Mariah Carey as a crowd of adoring fans watched her "Bringing on the Heartbreak" during the making of her newest music video in Los Angeles. "Bringing on the Heartbreak" from Mariah's "Charm Bracelet" album, even brought out April Playboy cover girl Carmen Electra to watch her own lead guitar player, Dave Navarro, on stage. Carmen says, "We're kind of homebodies. So this is kind of a big night out, cause it's like an actual concert." And what's a concert without a limo driver? He's hunky Guess model Damon Willis who'll get behind the wheel in a cameo appearance. But who would have thought the pop diva would sing soul into Def Leppard's classic metal hit? She says, "I like a lot of things you wouldn't necessarily expect. I'm not a one dimensional person." No one knows that better than Mariah's record producer, none other than "American Idol's own Randy Jackson, who backs her up on stage too. He says, "She's happy. She's in great spirits. I think she is loving life. The record's doing amazing." And with the "Charm Bracelet" world tour set for May, it looks like the makings of a charmed comeback.

Mariah blasts the rise of technology in music
Superstar diva MARIAH CAREY has blasted the current state of pop music - because singers are being replaced by producers and technology. The GLITTER star, who recently signed to the ISLAND/DEF JAM record label, believes the need for talent in the music buisness is being usurped by computer programs. She says, "I feel that, because of technology, certain artists are disposable and yes - it is a producer's world in a lot of ways. "PROTOOLS might as well be on the cover of most people's albums today. They might as well not have their picture and show the computer and put the person's name next to it 'cos you really don't have to be able to sing anymore. Why bother?" (WENN)

Bringin' On The Heartbreak video synopsis
My friends Sabrina and Courtney went to the video shoot (like I said before) and they ended up getting some security passes from Michael.
Anyway, while they were backstage... Sabrina found a program for the video and asked if she could have it. Inside was a written synopsis (written by the director, Sanaa Hamri) of the entire video! Okay, I *DONT* have it word for word because she just read it to me over the phone, but let me put everyone's mind at ease and say it's not merely a live video!  Here's what I remember from the summary. Of course the video is based on the edgy, dark rock vibe of The Rose, and Sanaa wanted Mariah to command the stage with mature, sultry, sexy movements ala Bette Midler. The video starts out with Mariah and her lover lying on a bed in a dark room with candles lit, the sheets tangled around them. I think there's probably a little physical contact and then Mariah gets up and walks over to a grand piano which is placed in the corner of the room and starts to play. The scene is flash-forwarded to a dark, solemn hallway where Mariah is walking and singing to herself. (remember, this is brief and probably not 100% accurate) One of the main points of this video is to portray the INTENSE relationship that Mariah has with her fans. Sanaa had written about how the hysteria and connection Mariah's fans experience around her is very rare and almost comparable to Beatle-mania.  So Sanaa wanted to play up on that and try to capture the intensity and beauty of this relationship with real-life scenes of Mariah interacting with her true fans. These scenes are placed in the video in contrast to the intimate, personal scenes Mariah has with her lover... to try to make the point that he is probably the only one who REALLY knows and understands her... in a way entirely separate from her fame. The next scene is a phonebooth scene that is supposed to be reminiscant of an old Italian film scene. Mariah is in the booth and tries to make a call, probably to her lover who she has obviously parted ways with, but nobody answers. 
Flash forward and Mariah is landing by helicopter on top of the roof of the arena she will be performing at. The performance scene starts and once again the relationship between Mariah and her fans is portrayed as the camera zooms in on a young girl with a very sad expression. She stares off into space, somewhat lost until she realizes Mariah is making eye contact with her and upon realizing the connection, her face is lit in a bright smile. The entire time, the man from the first scene of the video is standing in the shadows of the stage watching her intently. Dave Navarro does a solo scene too! Okay, that's all I really remember... but from hearing this, I can't WAIT to see this video! It sounds like it's going to dark, edgy and artistic.... and that's exactly what the song needs. We haven't seen a video of this nature since "The Roof" or "My All"

Alex's awesome night in LA
damn i had so much fun last night, it was awesome, well....i had to wait in a line outside the auditorium for about 3hrs until they let us in, and then after they let us in...we sat down in a concert like set...i was about 8 rows away from the stage, and then we waited for another 2-3hrs, and then finally mc came out!, she came out and was being interviewed by abuncha people, but we couldn't hear anything, and then she grabbed the mic and then said "hey thanks for coming out...im gonna go change into another ensemble alright"?, and then...we had to wait for like 2hrs, and then finally the stage was being set up, the background of the stage was a giant butterfly made up of neon lights..and a giant sunflower under it, and then she was gettin ready...., she sang both like 4 times, and she was wearing a burgundy-ish dress that was super duper low cut and super duper short, the video is supposed to look like a concert, and in between every take..she would talk to the fans and sing a few bits of acapellas, it was awesome, she gave the mic to a girl in the audience..and that girl started singing Vision of Love...and she was sooooo good, as she was singing it..the band started to join in and give her som music, she told everyon that she had signed arecord deal in august, she was sooo good, everyone screamed, my ears were pierced by the people around me screaming, it was soo cool...because i went there not even expecting mc to be there, and they gave out a bucnha sunflowers to the audience to hold, the fireworks are when the song builds up and gets louder, when she's screaming "you got the best of me", she walks up next to the guitarist and waves her lttle scarf thing around, and she kinda acts sexy, oh yea....and she sang part of a song that goes "some say love...it is a river".

Just got back from the BOTH video shoot 
I'll tell yall more details tomorrow cuz I'm sooooo tired but I'll just say that Mariah is VERY beautiful. She's wearing a red dress with this long, thin gray scarf with this zebra print, sheer jacket over it. In the middle of the performance she throws the jacket into the audience and some guy walked away with it it  Lucky guy but also that really screwed up the video people cuz they needed everything to be consistent. Anyway, there was a lot of down time where Mariah just talked with the audience. Some girl sang VOL BEAUTIFULLY and Mariah was really feelin it. Another girl said her prom is coming up and that she really likes Mariah's dress and she wants it then Mariah goes "What size are you?" "Size 0" "Then honey, you ain't gonna fit into it"  Then someone else said they were a size 3 then she said the dress only comes in size 2 or 4 and it ain't either of those either! But then later she said if you really want it, she can have it. LUCKY GIRL. MC also sang parts of CTTA, MIH, Lullaby, and some other song. She hit a couple of high notes too and the crowd went wild. Dave Navarro was there in the video and him and Mariah were vibing a lot. Very hot. And Randy Jackson was of course there, in the video. Carmen Electra was there but not in the video, just to support her fiance probably. Like I said I'll write more tomorrow and some other people can fill in some other cool details. BTW, it's 3 AM right now and I left early. They were setting up for another camera angle and people were saying they'd stay till probably 4 or 5. Crazy. Anyway, good night!!!!!!!! I gotta get me some sleep!
One other thing... 
Oh yeah wanted to add that the whole thing is NOT live. They said something about a phonebooth scene? I don't know what that's about but that obviously answers our question. Also, her hair is very curly. More curly than TTR video. She just let it go, there was the fake wind blowing in her hair. Very sexy lady.

Just got back from the shoot
Okay, so it's 5AM and I still can't sleep. I just got back from the "Bringin' On The Heartbreak" video shoot and I'm still spiraling. Lawrence and I got to the location at about 5PM, waited two and a half hours to actually get into the building, and Mariah didn't even come on stage until 11PM to finally start the shoot. It was well worth it, though. While we were waiting, E! came into the crowd and got people on camera (including myself -- so look for me!), Dave Navarro stopped by to greet the crowd, as well as his amazingly beautiful fiancé, Carmen Electra, and Mariah herself came out to say hi before leaving to change into her "ensemble." When Mariah got back, she was dressed in the most breathtaking dark red dress that looked like second skin on her (I admired the enthusiasm with which it clinged on to her for dear life). She's alot skinnier in person (not to mention, drop-dead gorgeous). TV really does add weight -- and the naysayers who claim that her album and magazine covers are airbrushed obviously haven't seen her in real life. The concept of the video is fairly simple -- concert footage of her performing the song and crowd reaction to her performance. But it's not typical Mariah. Unlike "Hero" and "Thank God I Found You," in this she exhibits far more sexual prowess with a certain aggressiveness we don't usually see from her. She
manipulated the mic stand like the second coming of Elvis; her interaction with Dave Navarro created fireworks that put the pyrotechnics to shame; and her entire performance said 'fierce untamed lioness' rather than 'sultry sex kitten' -- a welcome attitude adjustment from the girly campiness Mariah seems to embrace lately. Mariah's stage presence is nothing short of awesome. She exists at a level of celebrity that makes other famous subjects pale in comparison. When she walked onto stage, it was like time took backseat and she took the wheel; by the time they finished four takes, three hours had already gone by and it was already almost 2AM. Now, it's almost 5AM. Maybe this is why I can't sleep, cause I don't want to -- I just don't want this night to end.

The Automatic Princess mystery

We all saw that Mariah wore a necklace and a kind of logo on her skirt in the sneak peak of ET and on the pictures from Mariah at the Los Angeles Lakers' game.  Also Mariah said "My stylist BLAIR and I went for a Harley-Davidson-inspired ensemble plus the Automatic Princess, which you will be seeing more of later on,".  I made a few research and Automatic Princess is part of MonarC.
Note: Where's the link, what is it, I wanna know!

Hollywood club closed for fire code violations 
LOS ANGELES - Fire inspectors closed a Hollywood nightclub early Thursday after finding it was overcrowded and one of the emergency exits chained, authorities said. Fire officials visited The Belmont Club just after midnight and found that there were too many people inside. The bar is permitted to have 149 patrons, but when investigators arrived they found 211 people, said fire Inspector Kendall McCarthy. "The exiting was not proper either and so we had to close it down," McCarthy said. Television and radio station reports said that there was a special event at the club and was attended by such celebrities as singer Mariah Carey, actor Leonardo DiCaprio and Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. The Belmont is the second club to be closed by fire inspectors this week. Club Soho was shut down Sunday for overcrowding and a chained exit. Angry bar patrons pelted police with rocks and bottles after being forced to leave.

The Secrets of Mariah's New Video!
March 05, 2003

MARIAH CAREY and BUSTA RHYMES are making beautiful music together. No, they are not a hot new couple. Rather, the two friends hooked up to work together for the second time on Busta's upcoming video for his new single, "I Know What You Want," from his Take It Off album. "Busta came up with the concept which is a hybrid," CHRIS ROBINSON, the video's director, tells ET's MARK STEINES. "It's an homage to a JET LI movie 'The Defender,' where he has to protect his friend's girlfriend and there is an attraction between them." The shoot takes place over three days in Malibu, CA, in as surreal a glass-and-steel-architectured house as Robinson could find. The set was designed to match Mariah's outfit. "My stylist BLAIR and I went for a Harley-Davidson-inspired ensemble plus the Automatic Princess, which you will be seeing more of later on," Mariah tells ET. "It is Harley-Davidson meets hip-hop." For a sneak peek at the upcoming video, tune in to tonight's ET!

Ving Rhames Joins Busta Rhymes, Mariah Carey, & Flipmode Squad For New Video
Rapper Busta Rhymes, the Flipmode Squad, and Mariah Carey were joined by actor Ving Rhames in Los Angeles earlier this week to shoot the video for Rhymes's latest single, "I Know What You Want." The clip, which was directed by Chris Robinson and Rhymes, was inspired by comic-book artist Frank Miller and his most extensive work, Sin City. In the video, Busta Rhymes and the Flipmode Squad are called upon to protect Rhames's wife, Eva, while Rhames is away on a dangerous mission, and sparks fly between Rhymes and Eva. The end of the clip turns into an action adventure complete with assassins on motorcycles as the music changes to Busta Rhymes's "Call An Ambulance."

Here's what my friend Shino just sent:
Mariah Carey / Charmbracelet - Special Edition release date is 02 May 2003
Source : Yahoo!JapanHMV / Towerrecords
I don't know the details about this CD yet. I think that several music remix virsion is recorded or I think that DVD of "Boy"&"TTR" is probably attached. The reason this CD is released is that the visit to Japan of Mariah was decided:) A concert is held in Osaka and Tokyo. The radio station in Japan announced her concert decision formally several days ago. Precedence reservation of a ticket is started from March 15 in the radio station in Osaka. http://www.funky802.com/sp_program/ But we cannot know a concert schedule and concert hall yet. but I think that it is announced soon. May 7 , 9  Osaka. May 19, 21,23  Tokyo This schedule is expected. but this is rumor...
