Mariah Carey - She’s expecting a boy and a girl

Mariah Carey
and her partner Nick Cannon, who are due to welcome twins in April, have revealed they are expecting a boy and a girl.

The couple was surprised that nobody had guessed their happy secret. Mariah Carey and her singer husband Nick Cannon are not revealing too many details about the babies.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are having twins and a source confirms to People that they will be having one of each -- a boy and a girl! Cannon says the couple is preparing for the arrival of their twins by " decorating and designing" their nurseries. Just call them bi-coastal babies because they will have one in Los Angeles and one in New York.

Mariah Carey and her husband Nick Cannon, the couple has been cautious about revealing details about their pregnancy and their babies because they have had a "long journey" to parenthood, Cannon has said. Cannon reports that Mariah Carey has been staying active with daily swims and getting a workout in the kitchen by cooking up a storm.

Mariah Carey announced she was pregnant back in October of last year.

Mariah Carey - In fact going to have twins

Following allegations that Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey accidentally revealed that the couple were expecting twins during an radio interview by referring to the child as 'they', Nick stated that Carey is due one child, not twins. However, Nick refused to say how many babies his wife was expecting to E! News, but admitted that by saying 'they' Mariah 'wasn't wrong'. On December 16, 2010, Nick Cannon announced that he and Mariah were in fact going to have twins.

On December 12, 2010, Carey was also the featured performer on the annual television special Christmas in Washington, airing live on pay-per-view in select cities worldwide. The U.S. network television premiere was December 17 via the TNT network.

Recently, Mariah CArey is due to give birth to her babies in spring 2011 but she still intends to release an LP in 2011. Mariah Carey decided to release a new Christmas album because she was unhappy with her first effort. The "All I Want for Christmas Is You" Mariah Carey says she wanted to release "Merry Christmas II You" because she can't listen to her first festive release "Merry Christmas", which came out in 1994, without being critical of it.

" 'Merry Christmas II You' is like the sequel to my first Christmas album," she said. "Every Christmas, I listen to it and I love certain songs, but on some of them I'm like, 'I hate this vocal performance'. So I decided to do this album."

She told Britain's HELLO! magazine, "I'll start writing songs at some point soon, because that's a creative process and I think this is a creative time in my life."

BTW... Is Mariah Carey the New Idol Judge? Nice one!... It would be great if MC would be the new next judge and she deserves it... She would b a great additon. However, in the past Idol has tried2 get her2 actually be a guest judge and MC turned down describing she would feel horrible2 crush someones dreams if they didnt sing well, especially if they were a fellow "lamb". But I think she is the best candidate2 date. Shania Twain, Toni Braxton (never rumored), Celiene Dion, all would be otherwise great as well. Too bad they let Ellen go :( Bummer. Regardless of who fills this important role, I feel AI wont go on much longer... luv yah mimi!

Mariah Carey Philanthropy

2009-10-06T15:31:00.000-07:00

She is a philanthropist. Mariah Carey has donated time & money to organizations such as the Fresh Air Fund. Mariah Carey became associated w/ the Fund in the early 1990s, and is the co-founder of a camp located in Fishkill, NY, that enables inner-city youth to embrace the arts and introduces them to career opportunities.

Mariah Carey Themes and musical style

2009-09-09T15:02:00.000-07:00

majority of her lyrics subject is Love, although she has written about themes such as racism, social alienation, death, world hunger, and spirituality. Mariah Carey has said that much of her work is partly autobiographical, but TIME magazine wrote: "If only Mariah Carey's music had the drama of her life. Mariah Carey's songs are often sugary and artificial—NutraSweet soul. But her life has passion and conflict."

The Village Voice wrote in 2001 that, in that respect, Mariah Carey compared unfavorably with singers such as Mary J. Blige, saying "Carey's Strawberry Shortcake soul still provides the template with which teen-pop cuties draw curlicues around those centerless [Diane] Warren ballads [...] it's largely because of [Blige] that the new r&b demands a greater range of emotional expression, smarter poetry, more from-the-gut testifying, and less unnecessary notes than the squeaky-clean and just plain squeaky Mariah era. Nowadays it's the Christina Aguileras and Jessica Simpsons who awkwardly oversing, while the women with roof-raising lung power keep it in check when tune or lyric demands."

Her output makes use of electronic instruments such as drum machines, keyboards and synthesizers. Many of her songs contain piano music, and Mariah Carey was given piano lessons when she was 5 years old. She said that she cannot read sheet music and prefers to collaborate with a pianist when composing her material, but feels that it is easier to experiment with faster and less conventional melodies and chord progressions using this technique. Some of Mariah Carey's arrangements have been inspired by the work of musicians such as Stevie Wonder, a soul pianist to whom Mariah Carey once referred as "the genius of the [twentieth] century", but Mariah Carey has said, "My voice is my instrument; it always has been."

She began commissioning remixes of her material early in her career and helped to spearhead the practice of recording entirely new vocals for remixes. Disc jockey David Morales has collaborated with her several times, starting with "Dreamlover" (1993), which popularized the tradition of remixing pop songs into house records, and which Slant magazine named one of the greatest dance songs of all time. From "Fantasy" (1995) onward, she enlisted both hip hop and house producers to re-imagine her album compositions. Entertainment Weekly included two remixes of "Fantasy" on a list of her greatest recordings compiled in 2005: a National Dance Music Award-winning remix produced by Morales, and a Sean Combs production featuring rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard. The latter has been credited with popularizing the pop/hip hop collaboration trend that has continued into the 2000s through artists such as Ashanti and Beyoncé. Combs said that Mariah Carey "knows the importance of mixes, so you feel like you're with an artist who appreciates your work—an artist who wants to come up with something with you". Mariah Carey continues to consult on remixes by producers such as Morales, Jermaine Dupri, Junior Vasquez and DJ Clue, and guest performers contribute frequently to them. The popularity in U.S. nightclubs of the dance remixes, which often sound radically different from their album counterparts, has been known to eclipse the mainstream chart success of the original songs.

Voice, Vocal

2009-08-24T20:30:00.000-07:00

"Mariah Carey Voice, Vocal"

Although Mariah Carey self-identifies as "an alto with a 5-octave range," she has "a range wide enough to cover all the octaves between an alto and a soprano and the agility to move between those roles with swiftness and aplomb", and Mariah Carey 's vocal trademark is her ability to sing in the whistle register.

Mariah Carey has cited Minnie Riperton as the greatest influence on her singing technique and from a very early age, Mariah Carey attempted to emulate Riperton's high notes, to increasing degrees of success as her vocal range expanded.

In 2003, Mariah Carey voice was ranked 1st in MTV and Blender magazine's countdown of the 22 Greatest Voices in Music, as voted by fans and readers in an online poll. She said of the poll, "What it really means is voice of the MTV generation. Of course, it's an enormous compliment, but I don't feel that way about myself."

Mariah Carey-Artistry

2009-08-17T03:49:00.000-07:00

"Mariah Carey-Artistry"

Mariah Carey has said that from childhood she was influenced by R&B and soul musicians such as Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan[citation needed], Gladys Knight, Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Stevie Wonder, and Whitney Houston Her music contains strong influences of gospel music, and her favorite gospel singers include The Clark Sisters, Shirley Caesar and Edwin Hawkins. When Mariah Carey incorporated hip hop into her sound, speculation arose that Mariah Carey was making an attempt to take advantage of the genre's popularity, but she told Newsweek, "People just don't understand. I grew up with this music". Mariah Carey has expressed appreciation for rappers such as The Sugarhill Gang, Eric B. & Rakim, the Wu-Tang Clan, The Notorious B.I.G. and Mobb Deep, with whom she collaborated on the single "The Roof (Back in Time)" (1998).

During MAriah Carey's career, her vocal and musical style, along with her level of success, has been compared to Whitney Houston and Celine Dion. Carey and her peers, according to Garry Mulholland, are "the princesses of wails [...] virtuoso vocalists who blend chart-oriented pop with mature MOR torch song". In She Bop II: The Definitive History of Women in Rock, Pop and Soul (2002), writer Lucy O'Brien attributed the comeback of Barbra Streisand's "old-fashioned showgirl" to Carey and Dion, and described them and Houston as "groomed, airbrushed and overblown to perfection". Mariah Carey's musical transition and use of more revealing clothing during the late 1990s were, in part, initiated to distance herself from this image, and she subsequently said that most of her early work was "schmaltzy MOR". Some have noted that unlike Houston and Dion, Carey co-writes her own songs, and the Guinness Rockopedia (1998) classified her as the "songbird supreme".

Despite the fact that "Mariah Carey" is often credited with co-writing her material, she has also been accused of plagiarism on several occasions. Many of these cases were eventually settled out of court.

Glitter was a box office failure, and Mariah Carey earned a Razzie Award for her role. She later said that the film "started out as a concept with substance, but it ended up being geared to 10-year-olds. It lost a lot of grit [...] I kind of got in over my head."

Mariah Carey and The-Dream...

In early 2009, singer-songwriter The-Dream stated that he (The-Dream) and Mariah Carey had already begun working on her next studio album:

“

I (The-Dream) think it’s about just writing an album that includes the focus of all the hits that she’s had. She (Mariah Carey) can’t take a loss; she (Mariah Carey) has to do everything to the T. So it’s basically like we’re trying to make a greatest hits album without using the greatest hits.

2009-03-08T16:24:00.000-07:00

Mariah Carey... following a well-received supporting role in the 2002 film WiseGirls, she released the album Charmbracelet, which Mariah Carey said marked "a new lease on life" for her.

Sales of this Mariah Carey album, Charmbracelet were moderate, and the quality of her vocals came under severe criticism.

The Boston Globe declared the album "the worst of her career, revealing a voice no longer capable of either gravity-defying gymnastics or soft coos", and Rolling Stone commented, "Carey needs bold songs that help her use the power and range for which she is famous. Charmbracelet is like a stream of watercolors that bleed into a puddle of brown."

The Mariah Carey's album, Charmbracelet 's only charting single in America, "Through the Rain", was a failure on pop radio, which had become less open to maturing "diva" stylists such as Celine Dion, or Carey herself in favor of younger singers such as Kelly Clarkson or Christina Aguilera, who had vocal styles very similar to Carey's.

Then, Mariah Carey signed a contract with Island Records, valued at more than 22 million. and launched the record label MonarC. To add further to Carey's emotional burdens, her father, with whom Carey had little contact since childhood, died of cancer that year (2002).

Mariah Carey - Glitter

2009-02-18T19:21:00.000-08:00

Mariah Carey and Critics panned "Glitter"... Carey's much delayed semi-autobiographical film, and it was a box office failure. The accompanying soundtrack album, Glitter, was inspired by the music of the 1980s and featured collaborations with Rick James and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis; it generated Carey's worst showing on the U.S. chart.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch dismissed it as "an absolute mess that'll go down as an annoying blemish on a career that, while not always critically heralded, was at least nearly consistently successful", while Blender magazine opined, "After years of trading her signature flourishes for a radio-ready purr, Carey's left with almost no presence at all." The lead single, "Loverboy" (featuring Cameo), reached number two on the Hot 100 due to the release of the physical single, but the album's follow-up singles failed to chart; however, a live rendition/medley of the single, "Never Too Far" made its way to number eighty-one.

Mariah Carey - Struggle Personal

2009-02-13T22:52:00.000-08:00

Mariah Carey After receiving Billboard's Artist of the Decade Award and the World Music Award for Best-Selling Female Artist of the Millennium, Carey parted from Columbia and signed a contract with EMI's Virgin Records worth a reported US$80 million.

Mariah Carey often stated that Columbia had regarded her as a commodity, with her separation from Mottola exacerbating her relations with label executives. Just a few months later, in July 2001, it was widely reported that Carey had suffered a physical and emotional breakdown. She had left messages on her website complaining of being overworked, and her relationship with Luis Miguel was ending. In an interview the following year, she said, "I was with people who didn't really know me, and I had no personal assistant. I'd be doing interviews all day long, getting two hours of sleep a night, if that." During an appearance on MTV's Total Request Live, Carey handed out popsicles to the audience and began what was later described as a "strip tease". By the month's end, she had checked into a hospital, and her publicist announced that Carey was taking a break from public appearances.

Mariah Carey - Rainbow

2009-02-08T19:52:00.000-08:00

Mariah Carey's 7th studio album, Rainbow , was released in 1999 and comprised more R&B/hip hop–oriented songs, many of them co-created with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. "Heartbreaker" and "Thank God I Found You" (the former featuring Jay-Z, the latter featuring Joe and boy band 98 Degrees) reached number one in the U.S., and the success of the former made Carey the only act to have a number-one single in each year of the 1990s.

A cover of Phil Collins's "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)" went to number one in the UK after Carey re-recorded it with boy band Westlife. Media reception of Rainbow was generally enthusiastic, with the Sunday Herald saying the album "sees her impressively tottering between soul ballads and collaborations with R&B heavyweights like Snoop Doggy Dogg, Usher [...] It's a polished collection of pop-soul." VIBE magazine expressed similar sentiments, writing, "She pulls out all stops [...] Rainbow will garner even more adoration" but it became Carey's lowest-selling album up to that point, and there was a recurring criticism that the tracks were too alike.

When the double A-side "Crybaby" (featuring Snoop Dogg)/"Can't Take That Away (Mariah Carey's Theme)" became her first single to peak outside the U.S. top twenty, Carey accused Sony of under promoting it: "The political situation in my professional career is not positive [...] I'm getting a lot of negative feedback from certain corporate people," Mariah Carey wrote on her official website.

Mariah Carey - Toward the turn the Millennium

2009-02-02T19:41:00.000-08:00

Mariah Carey toward the turn of the millennium, she was developing the film project Glitter and wrote songs for the films Men in Black (1997) and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000). During the production of Butterfly, Mariah became romantically involved w/ NY Yankees baseball star Derek Jeter. Their relationship ended in 1998, with both parties citing media interference as the main reason for the split.

In the same year, Columbia released the album number 1's, a collection of Mariah Carey's U.S. #1 singles alongside new material, which Carey said was a way of rewarding her fans.

The song "When You Believe," a duet Mariah Carey with Whitney Houston, was recorded for the soundtrack of The Prince of Egypt (1998) and won an Academy Award. Number one's sold above expectations, but a review in NME labeled Mariah Carey "a purveyor of saccharine bilge like 'Hero', whose message seems wholesome enough: that if you vacate your mind of all intelligent thought, flutter your eyelashes and wish hard, sweet babies and honey will follow."

Also that year, Mariah Carey appeared on the 1st televised VH1 Divas benefit concert program, although Carey' alleged prima donna behavior had already led many to consider Carey a diva. By the following year, Carey had entered a relationship with singer Luis Miguel.

Mariah Carey's - Butterfly

2009-01-29T19:53:00.000-08:00

Mariah Carey's album, Butterfly (1997), yielded the #1 single "Honey," the lyrics & music video for which presented a more overtly s_xual image of Carey than had been previously seen.

Mariah Carey stated that Butterfly marked the point when Carey attained full creative control over her music. However, Carey added, "I don't think it's that much of a departure from what I've done in the past [...] It's not like I went psycho and thought I was going to be a rapper. Personally, this album is about doing whatever the hell I wanted to do."

Many Reviews were generally positive: LAUNCHcast said Butterfly "pushes the envelope," a move its critic thought "may prove disconcerting to more conservative fans" but praised as "a welcome change." The LA Times wrote, "[Butterfly] is easily the most personal, confessional-sounding record she's ever done [...] Carey-bashing just might become a thing of the past." The album was a commercial success—although not to the degree of her previous three albums—and "My All" (Mariah CArey 13th Hot 100 #1) gave Carey the record for the most United State #1 by a female artist.

Mariah Carey - New image and independence

2009-01-26T05:54:00.000-08:00

Mariah Carey & Mottola officially separated in 1997. Although the public image of the marriage was a happy one, Carey said that in reality Carey had felt trapped by her relationship with Mottola, whom she often described as controlling.

Mariah continued to write and produce for other artists during this period, contributing to the debut albums of Allure and 7 Mile through her short-lived imprint Crave Records.

Mariah Carey's fifth album, Daydream

2009-01-22T02:59:00.000-08:00

Mariah Carey's fifth album, Daydream, is released in 1995 by Columbia. Daydream which combined the pop sensibilities of Music Box with downbeat R&B and hip hop influences. A remix of "Fantasy," its 1st single, featured rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard. Mariah said that Columbia reacted negatively to her intentions for the album: "Everybody was like 'What, are you crazy?'.

They're very nervous about breaking the formula." It became Carey' biggest-selling album in the U.S., and its singles achieved similar success—"Fantasy" became the 2nd single to debut at number one in the U.S. and topped the Canadian Singles Chart for twelve weeks; "One Sweet Day" (a duet with Boyz II Men) spent a record-holding sixteen weeks at number one in the U.S.; and "Always Be My Baby" (co-produced by Jermaine Dupri) was the most successful record on U.S. radio in 1996, according to Billboard magazine.

Mariah Carey Album, Daydream generated career-best reviews for Carey, and publications such as The New York Times named it one of 1995's best albums; the Times wrote that its "best cuts bring pop candy-making to a new peak of textural refinement [...] Carey's songwriting has taken a leap forward, becoming more relaxed, s_xier and less reliant on thudding clichés." The short but profitable Daydream World Tour augmented sales of the album, which received six Grammy Award nominations.

Mariah Carey - The holiday album Merry Christmas

2009-01-19T02:42:00.000-08:00

In late 1994, after Mariah Carey' duet w/ Luther Vandross on a cover of Lionel Richie and Diana Ross's "Endless Love" became a hit, she released the holiday album Merry Christmas.

Critical reception of Merry Christmas was mixed, w/ Allmusic calling it an "otherwise vanilla set [...] pretensions to high opera on 'O Holy Night' & a horrid danceclub take on 'Joy to the World'."

Holiday album Merry Christmas became the most successful Christmas album of all time.

Mariah Carey - Worldwide popularity

2009-01-14T03:20:00.000-08:00

Mariah Carey and Tommy Mottola had become involved romantically during the making of her debut album, and in June 1993, they were married.

Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds consulted on the album Music Box, which was released later that year and became Mariah Carey's most successful worldwide. It yielded her 1st UK Singles Chart number-one, a cover of Badfinger's "Without You", and the U.S. number-ones "Dreamlover" and "Hero".

Billboard magazine proclaimed it "heart-piercing [...] easily the most elemental of Mariah Carey's releases, her vocal eurythmics in natural sync with the songs", but TIME magazine lamented Mariah Carey's attempt at a mellower work, "[Music Box] seems perfunctory and almost passionless [...] Mariah could be a pop-soul great; instead she has once again settled for Salieri-like mediocrity."

In response to such comments, Mariah said, "As soon as you have a big success, a lot of people don't like that. There's nothing I can do about it. All I can do is make music I believe in." Most critics slighted the opening of her subsequent U.S. Music Box Tour.

Mariah Carey - Show MTV Unplugged

2009-01-07T16:51:00.000-08:00

Although Mariah Carey performed live occasionally, stage fright prevented her from embarking on a major tour.Carey' first widely seen appearance was featured on the television show MTV Unplugged in 1992, and Mariah Carey remarked that she felt her performance that night proved her vocal abilities were not, as some had previously speculated, simulated with studio equipment.

Alongside acoustic versions of some of her earlier songs, Mariah Carey premiered a cover of The Jackson 5's "I'll Be There" with her back-up singer Trey Lorenz. The duet was released as a single, reached number one in the U.S., and led to a record deal for Lorenz, whose debut album Carey later co-produced.

Because of high ratings for the Unplugged television special, the concert's set list was released on the EP MTV Unplugged, which Entertainment Weekly called "the strongest, most genuinely musical record Carey has ever made [...] Did this live performance help Carey take her 1st steps toward growing up?".

Mariah Carey - Conceived Emotions

2009-01-03T04:33:00.000-08:00

Mariah Carey conceived Emotions, Carey' second album, as an homage to Motown soul music (see Motown Sound), and she worked with Walter Afanasieff and Clivillés & Cole (from the dance group C&C Music Factory) on the record. It was released soon after her debut album—in late 1991—but was neither critically nor commercially as successful; Rolling Stone described it as "more of the same, with less interesting material [...] pop-psych love songs played with airless, intimidating expertise."

The title track "Emotions" made Mariah Carey the only recording act to have their 1st five singles reach number one on the U.S. Hot 100 chart, although the album's follow-up singles failed to match this feat.

Mariah had been lobbying to produce her own songs, and beginning with Emotions, Mariah has co-produced most of her material. "I didn't want [Emotions] to be somebody else's vision of me," she said. "There's more of me on this album."

Mariah Carey - Early Commercial Success

2009-01-01T04:16:00.001-08:00

Mariah Carey co-wrote the tracks on Carey' 1990 debut album Mariah Carey, and she has continued to co-write the majority of her material since. During the recording, Carey expressed dissatisfaction with the contributions of producers such as Ric Wake and Rhett Lawrence, whom the executives at Columbia had enlisted to help make the album more commercially viable.

Mariah Carey... Backed by a substantial promotional budget, the album reached number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, where it remained for several weeks. It yielded four number-one singles, and made her a star in the US, but it was less successful in other countries. Critics rated the album highly, and Carey won Grammys for Best New Artist, and—for her debut single, "Vision of Love"—Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Album title Before the confirmation of the official title, the album was planned to be named That Chick, a reference to one of the album tracks. The album name means "(E) Emancipation (=) of (MC) Mariah Carey to the second power". It is a word play on Albert Einstein's famous mass–energy equivalence formula and is the sequel to her 2005 album, The Emancipation of Mimi.
