Mariah Carey

By Dodai Mariah Carey is supposed to turn on the Christmas lights at a shopping mall in London, and has asked for 20 white kittens and 100 white doves as well as confetti shaped like butterflies to shower her after she emerges from a Rolls-Royce driven on a pink carpet to a podium where she will wave a w...

By Ash ‘Angel’ grows on you ANY follower of Mariah Carey’s 19-year career since her first album (Vision of Love, 1990) would tell you that Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel doesn’t warm up to the listeners immediately as much as her earlier albums. It is ambitiously fresh-sounding with no pop sensib...

By Ash Fans did not have to wait long, the new Mariah Carey album entitled Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel is NOW in stores. Her previous album E=MC2 was judged by many critics as an inferior copy of The Emancipation of Mimi, did include her No.1 hit “Touch My Body,” failed to raise any dust. For this new...

By Ash In the 90 Carey was hugely successful, but early this century, the diva’s creativity & commercial  appeal waned with the albums Glitter and Charmbracelet. A few years later she was on form again with the very solid The Emancipation Of Mimi and E=MC2.

By Ash Mariah Carey’s new album, “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel” has a main theme: love. Fans of Carey will not be surprised about this theme, because most of her albums are about love, whether it be about finding it or losing it. Sadly, fans would be right in saying that this album does not live up to t...

By Vicky Will the real MC please stand up? No, not that MC named Slim Shady, but Mariah Carey. The rest of the album lacks variety. Either the next song to be played is another break-up song or a typical cheerful “Mariah Carey” love song, but nothing new.

By Rolling Stone The influx of divas on the New Releases display not your thing? There’s also the Avett Brothers’ lush chamber folk major label debut I and Love and You, produced by Rick Rubin. For the dark and dramatic set, AFI’s Crash Love earned three stars from RS, while Alice in Chains’ Black Gives Way to...

By Sara Mariah Carey, comedian? Jokes have never been Carey’s forte, but on her 12th album, she gets in touch with her funny bone, adding a cheeky marching-band coda to the thumping club jam “Up Out My Face,” threatening to out a cheating lover on national television in “Betcha Gon’ Know” (”Oprah...

By Ash With fewer danceworthy beats than recent discs and the monotonous song-to-song similarity, this winds up being a tepid, R&B lite effort that falls short of Carey’s claim that “I’m the same Mimi/Butterfly flow like Muhammad Ali” (”Candy Bling”).

By Vicky Of late though, Ms. Carey has been whispering, as if newly scared of grand gestures. In 2005 it made for a surprise success with “The Emancipation of Mimi,” one of her best-selling albums, but also one of her most deceptive. Though the melodies were straightforward, Ms. Carey was working hard...

By Ash “I should crack you right in your forehead,” Mariah Carey sings on the breakup tune “It’s a Wrap.” CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: “It’s a Wrap” joins tracks like “Vision of Love,” “Always Be My Baby” and “We Belong Together” as a classic Mariah song. Source: Associated Press  | Mariah Connection

By Vicky Carey’s lyrics — she co-writes everything here, except for her fairly unremarkable cover of Foreigner’s “I Want to Know What Love Is” — make this point most obviously. Even when fully dressed in the armor of her glamour, as when she advises an ex (Eminem? More likely it’s Latin pop star Luis...

By Ash Who says being a pop diva is easy? There is the constant pressure to look great and sound all-conquering while staving off a legion of younger sisters nipping at your stiletto heels. Which brings us to Mariah Carey, she of the 175 million worldwide record sales and the multitude of comeback...

By Kerry Mariah Carey has always had a way with words. Despite unlikely pop-song vocabulary like “alienation” appearing in hits like “Vision of Love,” her lyrics started out relatively simple. Love takes time. You’ve got me feeling emotions. Dreamlover, come rescue me. But right around the time she...

By Vicky Live in a critical cocoon long enough and it’s easy to forget the extent of Mariah Carey’s influence. Out there though, in the world of rough karaoke boozers, where the annual X Factor audition can bring a city centre to a standstill, it’s not Radiohead or David Bowie that they’re singing. Ou...

Mariah Carey blames 9/11, director for failure of ‘Glitter’ Mariah Carey says her infamously bad movie debut Glitter failed because of 9/11. Carey, 39, recently played down her reputation as a diva — insisting she is simply misunderstood.

After the demise of her marriage, many assumed that Carey's career would be on shaky ground. After all, divorcing your boss isn't exactly Rule Number One In The Book Of Career Advancement. But in the immediate period after the split, Mariah managed to have another successful album in 'Butt...

By Ash Even for someone like me who has mainly been exposed to Mariah Carey while listening to the radio in my car, the songs are instantly recognizable and I have to say enjoyable. “Hero,” “I’ll Be There,” “I Still Believe,” “Endless Love” with Luther Vandross, and “Vision Of Love” cover familia...

Thank you! I was so pleased with her work and her work ethic and our friendship has blossomed and our trust has blossomed. I went against the grain and cast her in something that was completely different for her with Push. That was like departure of the century for Mariah Carey.

The strongest performances here are from Mariah Carey and Ethan Peck (Ellis). Once we are rolling along, there is no more Mariah on film; her celebrity is replaced by Krystal. Mariah genuinely submerges herself into the character. While the laugh is the same, everything else we know or assu...

The American Music Awards honors Mariah Carey for surpassing two of the longest standing records in music history, formerly held by Elvis Presley. In 2008, Mariah Carey became the solo artist with the most number one hits of all time. In addition, Mariah has now spent more weeks at number on...

By Ash Since her career rebirth with 2005’s “The Emancipation of Mimi,” Carey has abandoned the wild vocal wailing that gave rise to “American Idol” and has emerged a thinner-voiced, but far more efficient, singer. Check “I’m That Chick,” where the lyrics are embarrassing drivel (Carey compa...

Back in 2001, soul superstar Mariah Carey had a bit of a funny turn in the wake of releasing her box office flop Glitter - a film which put the word corny into, erm... popcorny. Amazingly, Mariah is the best thing in it. Her understated, downbeat performance is so natural that pretty soon you stop w...

By Ash Source: IGN Entertainment UK Rating: 7.6/10 At precisely the time that contemporary soul is going through a fairly radical reboot thanks to the likes of Amy Winehouse, Estelle and others, Mariah Carey returns with a follow-up to her hugely successful The Emancipation of Mimi that offer...

The song "Right To Dream"] is not really country and it's very Mariah. She said she wrote it on the telephone with Willie, so it's unclear how much he contributed (at the end of the movie, it's credited as written by Mariah Carey, produced by Mariah Carey) but I think that was an oversight.

How did you feel about Mariah Carey getting cast in the film? I felt great about it. I knew she would kick ass. Was Mariah's character Krystal originally written as a singer? Yes. From the very first draft. What was your impression of Mariah as a person? Warm. Professional. Focused. Funny. And tall.

By Vicky Admit it- you were nervous. What if Mariah’s triumphant return to form with The Emancipation of Mimi was a flash in the pan, a one-off, a swan song, a fluke? What if the follow-up album E=MC2 was embarrassing, lacklustre, a Leona Lewis kind of record that you really wanted to like but somehow...

By Vicky The 411: Mariah Carey does best when she’s not trying so hard. E=MC2 does everything The Emancipation of Mimi did, only The Emancipation of Mimi did it better. You won’t turn E=MC2 off, but you won’t be captivated by it, as you were by its predecessor.

By Felipe Source: Lower Hudson Journal news Mariah Carey clearly is searching for alternatives to the glass-shattering flamboyance of her early ’90s youth. But the new album also carries the operative message: Don’t mess with success. “E(equal)MC2″ is nearly a clone of “The Emancipation of Mimi...

By Ash Source: The Kane County Chronicle Rating: 2 stars It doesn’t take Einstein to figure out that “E=MC2” suggests “Emancipation equals Mariah Carey to the second power.” From title to execution, it appears that Carey’s 10th album is a sequel to 2005’s “The Emancipation of Mimi,” which retu...

By Ash Mariah Carey is famous for many things, but until now, being depressing wasn’t one of them. Of course, she’s always had a certain weepy sentimentality about her. Cut through the sass and hip hop ambitions and ultimately, she’s a hopeless romantic singing about love conquering all and hear...

By Ash On Mariah Carey’s last studio release, the phenomenally successful The Emancipation of Mimi, it seemed the production tricks were often utilized to mask any potential weaknesses in Carey’s voice. Questions were left about whether she could really hit the high notes like in the past. E=M...

By Ash Source: The Houston Chronicle BEING Mariah Carey may not be a science of Einsteinian proportions. But the dynamic diva has re-created an engaging musical mix on new disc E=MC². The formula — first perfected on 2005’s slick, sassy The Emancipation of Mimi — goes something like this: equal p...

Mariah Carey E=MC² For everyone who thought 2005's "The Emancipation of Mimi," Carey's uneven "comeback" album after "Glitter," was the bee's knees, they'll love what amounts to its sequel. (I'm no Einstein, but the title could work with that theory.) Mariah Carey E=MC²

By Sara Source: Entertainment Weekly Rating: A - Daydream. Butterfly. Rainbow. Glitter. No, those aren’t the names of Barbie’s pet ponies, they’re the ridiculously saccharine titles of Mariah Carey’s albums from 1995 to 2001. So when she called her 10th studio CD The Emancipation of Mimi three yea...

By Ash What advice do you suppose Mariah Carey will have for the “American Idol” contestants Wednesday when she appears on the show as a mentor, part of the media blitz launching the follow-up to her big comeback album, 2005’s “The Emancipation of Mimi”?

By Ash Source: The Guardian Rating: 4 Stars It is worth pondering what the title of Mariah Carey’s 11th studio album could refer to. Emancipation, maybe, in a nod to her 2005 comeback album, The Emancipation of Mimi; or perhaps the energy of the original equation, a statement that Carey still has...

By Ash Mariah Carey’s last album, 2005’s The Emancipation Of Mimi was a career high. It showed the girl from Long Island who had the world at her feet, then lost it, was back. Mariah made history with single Touch My Body last week, overtaking Elvis Presley’s total of No1 singles on the Billboard Hot...

By Ash Even more than “Emancipation,” “E=Mc2” sounds like a jukebox full of singles for the best summer party ever. “I Stay in Love” is a killer ballad, and “Wish You Well” is a gospel-tinged ode to Aretha Franklin’s “Natural Woman” that shows off the best of her range. Another track, “Bye Bye” is al...

A year after "Glitter," Carey co-starred with Mira Sorvino in "Wise Girls," a Mafia comedy that debuted on Showtime. That film showed Mariah could do comedy, was actually funny when not saddled with having to be Mariah Carey in a film.

Three years ago Mariah Carey made a surprising comeback with The Emancipation of Mimi and had one of the year's biggest hits with "We Belong Together." Mariah even led the Grammys the next year with 8 nominations. The Long Island native left no doubt in anyone's mind that she was back and bett...

Q: And after the success of "We Belong Together," "Don't Forget About Us" -- co-produced by Bryan-Michael Cox -- and "Shake It Off" on "Mimi," you've teamed up with Jermaine Dupri again for several songs on "E=MC2." Q: The "Touch My Body" video is hilarious.

Mariah sounded better than she has in some time. Mariah told the crowd she had a cold, and even started coughing at the end of "We Belong Together," yet somehow sounded incredible. Mariah not only belted out of it when she had to, but it seemed a lot more effortless and easy for her. Her voice soun...
