Mariah Carey: Official Topic

''Right To Dream'' finally leaked. It's one of her best written songs... the lyrics are just fantastic.

RIGHT TO DREAM

[Written by Mariah Carey, Willie Nelson]

 

I lay awake sometimes

Scared to close my eyes

And I wonder where I left myself

I lost the will to fly

 

And the night melts into morning

Still it's cold beneath the sun

'Cause the fire in me's languishing

And I'm too frozen to run

 

Every once in a while

There's a distant glimmer of hope

I find

Somewhere deep inside

Someone strong still resides

And I know she's gonna be fine

In time

'Cause you see

I've got a lot to dream

There's more than this for me

 

An angel lands with broken wings

Warms me with his eyes

And the ice that sheaths around my heart

Unravel as he smiles

 

See I grew up locked in sorrow

So I learned to block the pain

But I won't give up tomorrow

'Cause I've come to life again

 

Every once in a while

There's a distant glimmer of hope

I find

Somewhere deep inside

Someone strong still resides

And I know I'm gonna be fine

That's right

'Cause for real

I've got a right to dream

There's more than this for me

 

But I keep on going 'cause

 

Every once in a while

There's a distant glimmer of hope

I find

Somewhere deep inside

Someone strong still resides

And I know she's gonna be fine

In time

'Cause you see

I've got a right to dream

There's more than this for me

[Bradders]

I love the lyrics. One of the best songs she has ever wrote. I wonder... will they re-release E=MC² with...

Right To Dream

I'll Be Lovin U Long Time (feat. T.I.)

...and maybe the live Hero she'll be singing with the X Factor finalists

Mariah Carey is Barack Obama's new Hero

By 3am 6/11/2008

 

Mariah Carey has a very special fan - the new president of the United States.

 

Barack Obama's wife Michelle played the singer's 1993 hit Hero to him before the election results were announced.

 

A friend of Mariah's said: "She was blown away when she heard. She is so honoured to have played her part in such an occasion."

 

And Obama is not Mariah's only famous fan. The diva's arrival in London yesterday to promote her greatest hits album has caused quite a stir with the X Factor contestants.

 

Mariah will sing on the show this week while the rivals will each have to cover one of her songs.

 

We just hope they're not all too stagestruck to perform.

:clap:OMG Mariah Carey will be on the X-Factor Tonight. She will perform 2 songs Hero and I Stay In Love Mariah is my favorit singer with Celine both my number#1´s.

From the Sun.

Pop diva Mariah Carey will sing her hit Hero on the X Factor tonight in a show of support for The Sun-backed Help for Heroes campaign.

 

The singer, 38, was rehearsing with the remaining eight contestants yesterday as the cover version of the ballad looked set to top the charts for a second week.

 

Mariah co-wrote Hero and had a US No1 with the song in 1993. And as this week's celebrity mentor, the star -- known for her whopping vocal range -- also gave the finalists a singing masterclass.

 

An ITV1 insider said: "Mariah's really pleased that her song is helping do so much good, so she was keen to sing it on the show. It makes sense -- it is her song after all. The plan is for her to sing it with all 12 finalists so they'll get a first taste of singing with a musical legend. Not surprisingly there are a few nerves."

 

Meanwhile, the X Factor single had sold 140,000 copies in its second week by last night -- and is set to smash the 200,000 mark before tomorrow's chart show. It has outsold Beyonce's new single If I Were A Boy five to one. And it had record first-week sales of 313,244 -- pipping Girls Aloud in the race for chart domination. Experts reckon the track will get an extra boost with the video's first show on ITV1 at 6:10 tonight.

 

Hero has made hundreds of thousands of pounds for Help for Heroes and the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal, who help injured soldiers. PM Gordon Brown is scrapping VAT on each single sold while stores including Tesco, HMV and Woolworths are handing over their profits.

there is a Mariah thread Disa. Let's keep everything there.

[Nikosn17]

Mariah Interviews with UK's Mirror

Mariah Carey clearly knows how to test a man's resolve - just ask new husband Nick Cannon. The singer has confessed that she kept the rap star waiting until they were married before, well, you know...they got down to the intimate side of their relationship.

 

But Mariah says hanging on for that two months from when they met in February to when they tied the knot in the Bahamas in April was well worth it. She adds: "It's not that we had no intimacy, we just didn't have complete intimacy. It's just me, and my feelings. I definitely don't want to push it on anybody else. But we both have similar beliefs, and I just thought that it would be so much more special if we waited until after we were married. And it was, and it still is."

 

As the couple celebrate their six-month anniversary, the US star has declared she has never been happier. And no doubt X Factor fans are over the moon that she has agreed to appear on the show tonight to mentor the wannabe stars and belting out her new single I Stay in Love.

 

One of her most famous songs, Hero, is currently at number one in the British charts and the X Factor finalists have recorded a version of the rousing ballad to raise funds for Help For Heroes, a charity helping British troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. It is already the biggest-selling single of 2008. Mariah has flown in from New York to help the aspiring singers, and perform alongside them on tonight's show. She says: "I think they've done a really good version. I'm a songwriter first and foremost, and it's always a big compliment when someone wants to cover one of my tracks. I've been to the Middle East myself, to visit the troops, and I know what amazing work they do out there."

 

So who is her favourite to win X Factor? She replies: "It's hard to say. There are a lot of talented people this year. But I have really been looking forward to working with them, and getting to know them all individually."

 

Mariah met Nick, who is also a DJ and actor, on the set of her video Bye Bye. After a whirlwind romance she was whisked down the aisle in the Caribbean. And the singer says life has been a blissful since they she and Nick got hitched. Sitting in the Dorchester Hotel in London, she tells the Mirror: "We celebrated our anniversary with a huge Halloween party. I went in a cookies costume, and Nick dressed as milk. We had the most amazing day." Lovingly caressing one of her huge heart-shaped diamond earrings, she went on: "He bought me these, and the biggest bunch of flowers you've ever seen. He's incredibly romantic."

 

The surprise wedding made headlines around the world. But no one was more stunned to be taking a second trip up the aisle than 38-year-old Mariah. Her first marriage to former Sony Records boss Tommy Mottola ended acrimoniously a decade ago, and she admitted she was reluctant to take the plunge a second time. She adds: "I was hesitant for a long time to get into a relationship and lose control of my heart and myself as a human being. I was very protective of myself. But this was something different. I was hesitant after having a bad experience, but this was something bigger than both of us. There was no question of not being ready when I met Nick. It felt 100 per cent right."

 

The couple are so certain their love will last they have both had tattoos of each other's names etched on their bodies. Mariah says: "We really do feel we are soulmates. We actually first met each other in 2005, and we definitely had chemistry then, but we were both with other people and it wasn't the right time. But whenever he was asked on TV who his celebrity crush was he would always say me, and friends would tell me, 'Nick Cannon really likes you.' I would just say. 'Oh, he's probably just saying that'. I didn't know what to believe. Then we met again on my video shoot and it all just clicked. It was pretty whirlwind, amazing."

 

Speaking about the time Nick, who is 10 years her junior, proposed, she adds: "It was the day that they lit the Empire State Building in New York in pink and lavender, my signature colours, because it had just been announced that I'd had my 18th number one hit, beating Elvis Presley's record. Nick handed me a sweet wrapper. I got to the candy ring, he's always giving me those as he has a very sweet tooth, and I said to him: 'Mine's broken, there's no sweet inside.' He told me to open it anyway and there was this beautiful diamond ring inside." The very 17-carat sparkler she toyed with throughout our interview.

 

There was also a hint of broodiness. Two years ago she appeared to rule out becoming a mum, but now admits to being "ready for a family". Mariah says: "I've changed my mind because I am with The One. I think we would make good parents, and that we'd be able to figure everything out together. People are constantly asking me if I'm pregnant, but I don't like to talk about it too much. I just think about it as the next phase. We'll see."

 

Apart from her personal life, it seems Mariah has plenty to be happy about professionally, too. She currently has two albums - E=MC2 and Ballads - in the UK charts, and has sold more than 200 million records worldwide.

The pop star also exclusively revealed to the Mirror she has a mammoth world tour planned for next year, showcasing her huge back catalogue of hits. She adds: "I love going on the road, it's the best way to connect with the fans. I still get nervous before performing. I get through it by saying a prayer before I sing, and trying to keep focused."

With that, Mariah's manager comes to collect her to meet the X Factor stars. He tells her they are beside themselves with excitement at the prospect of meeting their idol. She replies: "Well it's my honour. I'm just as excited myself."

Mimeah Carey looked just as spooked as celine did last year on Xfactor, didnt move a muscle, but at least celine sang live! makes me feel better about her not so great performance! haha -

 

They gave her the same massive intro as celine last year but instead of 'the worlds best selling female artist' mariah had "the worlds most successful female artist"

 

 

a subjective title really - celines was an actual fact

[amyja89]

She was awful! Disgusting dress too!
