Mariah Carey Finally Gets It
Posted in Mariah Carey on the November 13, 2009
Mariah Carey has released a new song. And with that release, I can unofficially say that her mediocre streak has finally come to an end. ‘100%’ was written for the singer’s Oscar-worthy new film ‘Precious’. And as much as I hate to say it, I like the song. No, scratch that. I absolutely love the song. It’s too bad that whoever chose this song to be sung by her and to be part of the film wasn’t the same person who was working on what songs to put on her album too. I’m sure whoever that guy was could have made a world of difference with the way her music career is going if he was.
Christian Audigier buys $30m house Michael Jackson died in
Posted in Madonna, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson on the September 4, 2009
French fashion mogul Christian Audigier is buying the house in which the singer died.
Audigier, who was a friend of the star, said he was not able to get permission to turn the house into a museum but would instead open it on every anniversary of Jackson’s death, staging exhibitions and shows.
“I can have the house in one month now. I get the keys two weeks from today,” Audigier said.
Jackson was renting the house, which is located in Holmby Hills and worth more than $30m, at the time of his death.
Jackson had been “in great shape” in the weeks before his death, Audigier said. “He was very skinny but he was a dancer, too. He was very involved with the London concert. What happened was very sad. The guy was very happy to come back on stage,” he added.

Mariah Carey Cancels
Posted in MTV, Mariah Carey on the August 17, 2009
Mariah Carey was willing enough to do her husband’s talent show but doesn’t do anything else. What’s up? So far, the singer has cancelled on the Today Show, VH1 Storytellers, the MTV Video Music Awards and receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The cancellation of the last one is just stupid. She doesn’t even have to sing to receive the honor. Mariah’s management continues to stay quiet about the cancelled events but some are saying that it may be due to the second postponement of her latest album ‘Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel’. Can she not handle the pressure after releasing a crappy single like ‘Obsessed’?
Mariah Carey’s Heavily Sponsored Album
Posted in Album Release, Mariah Carey on the August 11, 2009
If you haven’t picked up Mariah Carey’s new album, don’t worry because you’re not alone. But if you’re still contemplating on whether or not to buy it on September 15th, there might be a little more incentive for you as the album is going to be reproduced with a brand new 34-page booklet attached. But before you go and save money thinking it will be filled with the singer’s loveliness, it’s actually going to be filled with ads. ‘Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel’ will be the first CD released with this new brand integrated booklet and is also in conjunction with Elle magazine. As a consumer, it’s nonsense. As a business, it’s genius!
Mariah Carey in Las Vegas
Posted in Concert, Mariah Carey on the August 6, 2009
Mariah Carey seems to be heading down the path of irrelevancy as the days continue to pass. It has just been said that the singer is scheduled to perform a series of intimate concerts at the Pearl theater at the Palms Casino Resort in September and October. Tickets for her shows start at a cool $129 up to $254 each. That’s a lot to demand for something that is pretty well below mediocre. A short stint in Las Vegas may end up as a residency. And I think that it’s appropriately cheesy for Mariah. The only shining light in this is that she’s going to make bank – if she sells.
Mariah Carey Pays Tribute to Michael Jackson
Posted in Duet, Mariah Carey on the July 10, 2009
Mariah Carey had the proud honor to kick off the celebrity performance tributes at the Michael Jackson public memorial service which was held at the Staples Center this past Tuesday in Los Angeles. The 39-year old singer took to the stage with her rendition of the Jackson 5 hit ‘I’ll Be There’. She was choked up during her whole performance. Mariah was joined onstage by Trey Lorenz, who recorded a 1992 duet of the song, which became Mariah’s first worldwide number one. It just goes to show how adaptable Michael’s music really is. His contributions are simply timeless treasures to cherish.

Mariah Carey Gets Obsessed
Posted in Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey on the June 22, 2009
Mariah Carey has a new single out called ‘Obsessed’. It is being reported that the song was written about Eminem. I don’t hate it but I don’t like it either. The lyrics are good but the music is pretty boring and nothing to get excited about. The song also has that urban feel. Mariah Carey needs to go back to making pop music and stop trying so hard with the hip hop R&B genre. If she really wants to try something new, maybe she could go for dance music. Lady Gaga and Katy Perry do have some of the hottest music on radio right now and look what their genre is. Mariah should take some notes.
Mariah Carey Shoots Back
Posted in Music on the April 15, 2009
This blog, along with others, has reported that Mariah Carey recently visited a fertility clinic and was most likely pregnant. However, the 39-year old singer has shot back via her Twitter saying “I don’t know what was worse, the bleak angles and bright peach dress just to be festive(we had fun!) Or the b.s. commentary/blogs. B.S story and some pics I couldve definitely lived w/out(Nick looked cute tho: ) Just so the fans who care know..those pics were taken outside Nick’s Aunts house after a really nice day,just “for the record” And also..that dress and hair were not “red carpet” attire!”
Mariah Carey Gives Back
Posted in Mariah Carey on the December 4, 2008
Mariah Carey isn’t as selfish as many people would think. The possible mom to be seems to have a heart of gold. It turns out that the diva has a great-aunt who lives in Venezuela. Unfortunately though, her aunt has been having some money troubles paying the rent on her house which is a bit under $240 a month. Te 67-year old had missed payments and had fallen into a $1500 debt on the rent. When she got in contact with Mariah, the singer bought her aunt the two-bedroom house in San Miguel. It’s nice to see her helping her family out.
Mariah Carey Needs Support
Posted in Mariah Carey on the November 17, 2008
Just like the sales for her new album, Mariah’s boobs are in definite need of some support. The diva let it all hang out at the World Music Awards which were held in Monte Carlo last Sunday. Mariah was presented with the ‘Special Achievement Award’ for showing up. Gee, what was the great achievement in that? Her hubby Nick Cannon was there to support her as he’s been putting his lack of a career on hold to accompany his wife on the road. The World Music Awards were hosted by Jesse Metcalfe. For the sake of people with weak stomachs, I hope they never air it anywhere else.
Mariah Carey reveals the source of her inspiration
Posted in Hit Song, Mariah Carey on the November 14, 2008
Mariah Carey has recently revealed in an interview how she came up with the idea for her song “Hero”: “Or with ‘Hero,’ I was in the studio and someone was telling me about this film ‘Hero’ with Dustin Hoffman in it. I took a walk to the loo and when I came back I had this idea for a song, and that was what then became ‘Hero.’” Amazing! That must be why the music is so good. Also, the star made this statement on the subject: “”Sometimes I wake up and in the middle of the night and have an idea and have to get up and record it straight away before I forget it.” I don’t know about you, but I just can’t help myself from putting this out of context… I never thought that the “ideas” you can have in the middle of the night can be that profitable.
Mariah Carey Cancelled
Posted in Concert, Mariah Carey, Music Review on the September 25, 2008
Mariah Carey as apparently squeezed all the juice out of her most recent album ‘E=MC2’. The album only sold about a million copies as opposed to the multiple millions that her previous album ‘The Emancipation of Mimi’ sold. Her latest effort has already released 3 of its singles but I can’t even name anything besides ‘Touch My Body’. The next single was supposed to be ‘Migrate’ but according to reports, the release of the song, which was supposed to be on September 30, has been cancelled. Luckily for everyone, it seems that there won’t be any further singles. It’s time for her to work on some new material.

Musicians Stand Up to Cancer
Posted in Beyonce Knowles, Leona Lewis, Miley Cyrus Hannah Montana, Rihanna on the September 19, 2008
13 of the world’s most famous female singers of this day pose with song creators/producers LA Reid and Kenny ‘Babyface’ Edmonds at Fashion Rocks to sing the song ‘Just Stand Up’, the worldwide charity single which benefits Stand Up 2 Cancer. Keyshia Cole, Leona Lewis, Fergie, Ciara, Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Mary J Blige, Rihanna, Carrie Underwood, Miley Cyrus, Ashanti, Nicole Scherzinger and Natasha Bedingfield are all decked out in their black Stand Up To Cancer t-shirts. The group said in its mission statement that “For the first time we can envision the possibility of stopping cancer in its tracks. But just when science is on the verge of giving us the breakthroughs that can end cancer, the will and the funding to do so are disappearing from the national agenda and from our collective consciousness.”
