Mariah Carey's has got the
looks and the vocal talent, pretty rare when sex appeal means everything
in today's MTV generation. This hottie's talented voice and stunning looks
have made her the most successful female singer of the 90's in terms of
record sales.
While
talent has propelled the singer to these levels, a bit of luck helped to
get herself initially discovered. By innocently dropping a demo tape with
Sony Entertainment President Tommy Mottola, she obtained both a highly
influential record executive's musical and sexual interest. Carey later
went on to marry the cradle robber in June of 1993, in a marriage
that ended in March of 1998. After that, somehow the Hugh Hefner of the
record business landed Jennifer Lopez.
The first Carey album after
Tommy's discovery was in 1990 where her self titled CD sold over 6 million
copies and got her a bunch of Grammy Award. Then she came out with Emotions
in 1991 and MTV Unplugged in 1992 before her marriage to the man
twice her age. After her unfortunate marriage, Carey released Music
Box in 1993 and Merry Christmas in 1994, keeping busy while
single with yearly releases again with Daydream in 1995. Daydream
brought several more Grammy nominations and got her career sales figure
to 80 million (damn, after that kind of success we're suspecting she'll
be
the one cradle robbing in the future!). Carey finally took a year off and
released Butterfly in 1997, which was a musical turn from her past
work.
Carey shared her talents
with an legends in her music genre in the release of Divas Live,
a VH-1 special which later was released as an album featuring Celine Dion,
Gloria Estefan, Aretha Franklin, and Shania Twain. Carey later did a much
anticipated duet with the other vocal charm Whitney Houston with the single
When
You Believe, which was the theme song for DreamWorks The Prince
of Egypt. In 1998, Mariah wrapped all her hits together in the album
#1's,
a compilation of Carey's numerous chart topping singles. The final year
of the millennium has brought her newest album Rainbow which has
blazed the charts and includes the most successful selling single with
Heartbreaker,
and it continues a string of #1 hits for Carey for every year of the 90's
which hasn't been done since Paul Whiteman & His Orchestra in the 1920s!
Her latest video even has her getting in a fight with herself! Now abstracts.net
is sure us and a million other men are thinkin' when they see this video
'why can't she be getting naked with herself instead'?
So what's the latest gossip
on Mariah? Well she almost had a cat fight in a New York restaurant with
none other than Cameron Diaz, who had insulted her music in an earlier
interview. While Carey may have been slightly drunk which helped give her
courage to confront the Something About Mary star, it shows this
sexy songstress is more than a fluffy pop artist, in fact she claims to
have been a bully in school! Mariah's also getting sued by an ex bodyguard
which appears to be nothing more than an attempt by a nobody loser to win
fame and fortune, unfortunately for Mariah, even after the case was thrown
out and Christopher Selletti was fined 5 grand, because the bozo didn't
have the money, some district judge is ordering the judge who threw out
the case to hear it!
So who's the latest in Mariah's
love life? She's no longer an item with Derek Jeter of the Yankee's, as
apparently she is hooked up with the Latin heartthrob Luis Miguel. The
two have been sharing time on Miguel's boat in Europe, in fact she was
photographed in the nude by photographers of the tabloids thinking the
two were secluded. So far the pictures haven't surfaced. It should be added
that Mariah has been having trouble finding a home to call her own because
of her reported 'wild' lifestyle, being turned down twice for New York
condos, one being owned by Barbara Streisand, nonetheless. |
