Mariah Carey: Official Topic

[celinefanonline]

First it was Vinny, now Ronny's browsing through here, too Guess all the secret Mariah fans are coming out of the closet :mdr:

 

Now what would it take to have Vic and Bellamy admit that they like her as well??

Sorry to disappoint you. I read her news sometimes, and listen to her songs, only because I want to know more bad things to say about her. I only do that so I can bash her. Yes, I'm a Whoriah hater. So what?

 

And hello to the lambs.

how well Mariah is doing as compared to Celine.

 

Mariah is doing well only in Usa as u can see she is doing not so well in the rest of the world as u can see from french chart and other countries

 

and according to billboard she sold 462,971 and not 475 as hits daily reported

 

Well, how much did Celine sell in her first week in the USA? What are her worldwide sales of Taking Chances as of now? Period.

 

 

u cannot compare a 0 hit songs pop album with a n1 hit song R&B album they are different worlds! we all know in Usa they all love R&B. BTW I didnt say 462k is bad no, not at all but it is just less than expected according to Hits daily which reported 500-600k . So if you wanna compare those 2 artists: Celine sold 214k in her first week in Usa BUT 79k in her first week in Canada where mariah is n1 but with only 19k. Like in UK celine sold 54k and Mariah 34k in the first week! I think they are different singers we should not compare them but if you want me to tell you more:

 

France: Celine #2 with 30k Mariah #6 with 11k

Italy: Celine #5 Mariah #9 (I live in Italy and I know who had more promotion,of course Mariah!)

Netherlands: Celine #4 Mariah #11

Germany: Celine #5 Mariah #7

 

These are just few examples but there are more

 

and BTW R&B singers as Alicia Keys and Mary j Blige, came out few months ago, debuted with more copies than mariah :

 

Alicia: 742k

 

Mary j.:629k

 

This is mariah highest n1 debut with 462k Celine's one is 558k with a new day has come

 

I'm wondering why did you skip the UK and when it comes to Celine you are not saying that she is from Canada and that is the biggest reason she sold so much there and in France... but when it comes to Mariah... it's another thing. She has never had big opening weeks and this prove it.

Ready carefully i did not skip UK at all! i didnt write the position coz celine's figures were already higher than mariah's in the first week in UK!

but if wanna be happy: Celine 5 with 54k mariah 3 but with ONLY 34k...so according to your theory mariah is american that's why she sold more in Usa, you may be right but also Avril Lavigne(she is a "good seller")and many others are from Canada but was TCH the highest debut album(talking about sales) of 2007 in Canada. But about mariah you are right she hasnt been never so strong in Europe if you talk about sales and if I'm right I think Celine has more platinums of any other female singer in Europe like Barbra Streisand in Usa

No I didn't mean that. According to my theory Celine sold many in France and in Canada because she is singing in french and is born in Canada.

Anyway...

[VinnyT.]

oh the same coz mariah sold more in Usa cause she is born in Usa,i see Edited April 24, 2008 at 12:39 PM by VinnyT.

[Nikosn17]

oh the same coz mariah sold more in Usa cause she is born in Usa,i see

 

exactly. That's what I said before. Since people said she sold more in USA because she is born there, I said that Celine sold more in Canada in France because she is singing in french and is born in Canada.

[Davey84]

May I add that Mariah gets a lot of airplay here in the Netherlands, and Céline really doesn't so comparing these numbers: Netherlands: Celine #4 Mariah #11 makes me going :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: for Céline

And Luis, I just wanna know where you and I stand with Mariah?? In the REAL or the REAL REAL MC fans category??

[Nikosn17]

All six of Carey's #1 albums have spawned at least #1 single on the Hot 100. In fact, her five previous #1 albums all spun off at least two #1 hits. In addition, Carey is the #1 female album seller of the Nielsen/SoundScan era (which began in May 1991). She and Celine Dion are the only women with five albums listed among Nielsen/SoundScan's all-time top 200.

Finally I can be happy for both of them at the same time

[corr_azy]

I don't think it's fair to compare Taking Chances and E=MC2 just based on chart positions. Chart positions depend on who you are competing with at the time, so there's no comparison there. Wait and see a few months down the road, and we'll see which album sold better. I don't think there's any doubt that Mariah is a much more bankable artist right now

I love her hairstyle in the video I hate her straight hair, it just doesn't accentuate her round face that well but with curls, she looks so cute

TENESSEE (Mariah's new movie) premiers tomorrow at Tribeca film festival.

 

A MariahDailyJournal Exclusive

 

Mariah Daily Journal is pleased to bring you an exclusive interview with Russell Schaumburg, the screenwriter for Mariah's upcoming film Tennessee which premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival on Saturday. A project several years in the making, Schaumburg tells MariahDaily.com about how Tennessee came to life, his work with Mariah Carey on the film, and some of the ins and outs of being a screenwriter.

 

Born in St. Louis, MO but raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, it's no surprise that Russell Schaumburg decided to set the film in the quiet simplicity of his home state.

 

Schaumburg majored in anthropology/ pre-med at Northwestern University, but nurtured a passion for theater and entertainment and headed to Los Angeles after graduation. While attending law school in LA, he spent many classes sketching out ideas for screenplays, including what he says was "a large chunk" of Tennessee. Knowing his passions lied elsewhere and after being voted "Least Likely to Practice Law", Schaumburg skipped the bar exam to become a full time writer.

 

He has worked on a variety of projects for both the big and small screen, picking up several writing accolades along the way like being placed in the Top 50 Finalists in the Chesterfield Writer's Film Project for his screenplay The Man In the Woods and being a Semi-Finalist in the AMPAS Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting for Noah's Light.

 

Tennessee is Schaumburg's first produced screenplay. What may have been luck at first - Producer Lee Daniels (Monster's Ball, The Woodsman) received the screenplay from their mutual manager, Brad Kaplan - has turned into a full feature film with a promising young director, Aaron Woodley (Winner of the 2003 Discovery Award at the Toronto Film Festival for Rhinoceros Eyes), and a prestigious premiere at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival.

 

What is it about your home state that inspired you to write a movie script about it?

The people. The landscape. The spirit and pride of the place. To me, the south has this beautiful mystery surrounding it, which makes it an interesting character unto itself.

 

Was there a specific incident or experience that led to you writing this script?

Nothing too specific. In a general sense, I was heavily influenced by my many road trips between Knoxville and Los Angeles along Interstate 40. I was also interested in writing about a relationship between brothers--and not just any relationship--but something more real and tender and vulnerable. My dad was an amazing man and surgeon, so a lot of my stuff has shades of medicine in it. There are some specific scenes in the movie drawn from my life experiences but the overall story and character and situations are complete fiction.

 

Like many independent film projects, Tennessee took time to get the right mix of cast, crew, and funding (not to mention trying to fit a schedule around Mariah's North American tour) before it even got off the ground. Announced in early 2006 and scheduled to begin shooting that spring, the project didn't begin filming until mid-2007 after several delays, a few rumored actors (James D'Arcy, Bernie Mac), and a promised September '07 premiere. September came and went, but Schaumburg tells us he never doubted the film would be released.

 

Did you ever worry that it wouldn't see the light of day?

Never. The first time Lee called and told me he wanted to option the script and make the movie, I don't think there was ever any backwards momentum. He put his money where his mouth is every time. Lee is a straight shooter, and every step of the way I just had a gut feeling he was going to make this happen come hell or high water.

 

Were any of the filming delays script related?

No. But I'm not sure the film was ever "officially delayed." There were various "start dates" thrown out. But I think, as with any film (especially an independent film), those dates are always a moving target. It seems like you are always waiting for a perfect storm of casting, money, locations, etc. And you never know exactly when that will brew.

 

During the production, were you required to make any changes to the script?

As with every film ever made, whether on a big budget or miniscule one, we lost some scenes during production due to time constraints, etc. But there weren't any big changes, per se, to the script otherwise. Lee is a very instinctual, creative person (and producer) and he didn't really have me change much in pre-production or afterwards.

 

How involved were you in the making of the film?

I was on-set almost every day but I wouldn't say I had much to do with the actual making of the film. I tried to stay in the wings and observe more than anything. If my input was requested, I gave it. Otherwise, I tried to keep my mouth shut. Aaron (the director) and Lee were pretty great about including me in the process at every turn.

 

The decision to cast Mariah in the film was made by the casting directors, Lee Daniels and Aaron Woodley. Mariah’s involvement with the film became public in February 27, 2006 when Variety reported Daniels got the idea to cast her after being impressed with her work in 2002's WiseGirls.

 

How did you feel about Mariah Carey getting cast in the film?

I felt great about it. I knew she would kick #ss.

 

Was Mariah's character Krystal originally written as a singer?

Yes. From the very first draft.

 

How important was it for you to have an actual singer play the role?

I always imagined a singer playing the role. Apparently Aaron and Lee did too.

 

Did Mariah bring any new facets to the character?

Every facet she brought was new to me. She (like the other actors) had a very strong sense of character before they arrived in New Mexico, and I think her identification with "Krystal" (her character) only deepened as we got into the shoot. When I write a script, I purposely leave lots of room for interpretation. In my opinion, that allows the actors to bring a totally unique perspective to the role and have the confidence to explore the character to see what rings true.

 

What was your impression of Mariah as a person?

Warm. Professional. Focused. Funny. And tall.

 

Tell us about Mariah on the movie set. Any funny stories or interesting experiences?

She was, like all the actors (and crew), ready, willing and able to get down and dirty to shoot a low-budget indie film in 23 days during one of the harshest winters in New Mexico history. Given the circumstances, she (and everyone else) was a rock star.

 

In a July 2006 interview, Schaumburg described his Mariah-related dream: "Well, I'd like for her to do a private concert at the Tennessee Theatre for me and 1,000 of my closest friends," he says with a laugh. Less than a year later, the dream became a reality and Russell found himself on stage with Mariah.

 

You are credited with a cameo appearance in the film. What can you tell us about it?

A few days before principal photography was slated to begin, Lee called me up and told me he wanted me to play a role in the movie. I was totally flattered. He mentioned several parts he thought I would be right for and then he made me audition! Literally, I stayed up late that night learning lines for five different roles--even though I wrote those lines. It was pretty surreal. Our New Mexico casting director put me on tape for each role and Lee cast me as he saw fit. I play the host of the open mic night in which Mariah plays and sings the song she co-wrote with Willie Nelson. Needless to say, it was pretty cool to share the stage (quite literally) with MC. That probably won't ever happen again.

 

What is it like seeing a scene you wrote come to life through the actors? Did any of them change significantly?

Completely addictive. The whole shoot was an out-of-body experience for me. Just a freakin' blast from beginning to end.

 

Incredibly, there weren't that many significant changes. Like I said before, we didn't shoot every scene; but if we did, the scenes stayed fairly true. The biggest exception would be when Aaron had to make an adjustment here or there due to normal movie-making constraints or due to his own creative interpretation, of course.

 

What was your reaction when you found out the film's world premiere would take place in the Tribeca Film Festival?

I was completely honored. Even though the film is a rural road movie about two brothers from Tennessee and a waitress from Texas, I feel like Tribeca is a homecoming of sorts. Lee, Mariah, Adam Rothenberg ("Carter") and Ethan Peck ("Ellis") all have strong connections to Lower Manhattan. And the first time Lee called me regarding the script, he was sitting in his office in Harlem. In a way, the whole process has come full circle, and I can't think of a better spot to premiere the film than where it all began.

 

What's next for Russell? "In general, I lean toward dramas. But I have dabbled in romantic comedy." He says there are plenty of other actors and directors he'd like to work with in the future: Billy Bob Thornton, Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Walter Salles, Catherine Hardwicke, Niki Caro, Clint Eastwood, Peter Hedges, Gus Van Sant, Thandie Newton and Jodie Foster, just to name a few. "Of course," he adds, "the Tennessee gang: Mariah, Adam Rothenberg, Ethan Peck, and Lance Reddick."

 

With Tennessee, Russell Schaumburg promises to bring the subtle mystery of the south to life alongside an emotional journey. Early reviews have already praised his "touching story" (Liz Smith, The NY Post) and we wish him and the film the best of luck at the Tribeca Film Festival.

 

Thank you again to Russell for the interview and his manager Chris Ridenhour for the arrangements.

 

 

 

Mariah: Number One on the Charts and Great in 'Tennessee'

Below is an advanced copy of Liz Smith's column in tomorrow's edition of the New York Post. Your first look right here on Mariah Daily Journal!

 

 

"ANYBODY WHO has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last the rest of his days," said Flannery O' Connor.

 

MARIAH CAREY survived her childhood, but it wasn't easy. A miraculous singing talent saved her from humdrum obscurity and possibly much worse.

 

Today, Mariah is at the pinnacle of a career that has seen some amazing pinnacles already. Her new album, "E=MC2" has rocketed to no. 1 on the charts. This is her sixth no. 1 album. She now ties with Madonna and Janet Jackson. (The grand diva deluxe, Barbra Streisand, has eight no. 1 albums.) And Carey has racked up more no. 1 singles than Elvis -- 18!

 

Mariah is 38, though you'd never guess it to look at her. She could be in her 20s, still lush and juicy. The statuesque stunner loves her sky-high heels her miniskirts, her bosom-baring blouses, her beaded and feathered gowns; all the accoutrements of her long-ago, little-girl idea of what being a big star is all about. (Once she dumped her discoverer, Tommy Mottola, Mariah "got down" with her sex appeal and funk factor. He preferred her more demure.) Still, she insists her hot displays disguise a "buttoned-up girl. I'm a freaking prude. I've never had a one-night stand!"

 

And for all the flash, Mariah is a private person. After the gilded cage Tommy provided, she hasn't married again. She dates, one assumes, but rarely speaks of that side of her life. A few years ago, she had some career problems and what the press described as a "crackup." But Miss Carey overcame a weak album, a flop movie (the unintentionally hilarious "Glitter") and put herself back together again. In the end, all the sensational headlines and doomsaying amounted to a barely discernible blip on her radar.

 

I KNOW Mariah. She is sweet and funny. She used to be the girl next door, before fame came knocking, but now she doesn't try to pretend she's not, as she puts it, "the diva next door." She enjoys her perks and privileges, and she adores her fans. For her, making those millions of people happy is the goal of her life. Love on a mass scale means more to her than one person's ardor.

 

And she is honest. Recently she spoke about the possibility of having children, and said that even the idea of giving birth, would leave her "feeling violated." She cites her upbringing, her parents constant fighting. And she added, "I don't think I could properly educate a child right now. Maybe in the future, but I actually haven't thought about it."

 

Lots of people -- including celebrities -- have children for the wrong reasons. And one of them is societal pressure -- "what's the matter with you, that you don't want kids?!" So Mariah Carey has the money to raise children who wouldn't want for material things. But Mariah, having grown up insecure, unsure, watching the adults around her mess it up, won't bring a child into the world without some surety that she'll do better. You should put ego and a lot of your own life aside, to have children.

 

Mariah, still immature in certain ways, knows children shouldn't have children.

 

TOMORROW, at the Tribeca Film Festival in Manhattan, Mariah's new movie, "Tennessee" bows. Produced by the "Monster's Ball" maestro Lee Daniels and directed by Aaron Woodley, this is a touching tale of two young brothers -- Adam Rothenberg and Ethan Peck -- trying to re-connect with their father. (Ethan is the grandson of film legend Gregory Peck.) And this indie puts Mariah back where she was before "Glitter" pulled her down. Carey had displayed considerable promise in her first film, "WiseGirls" with Mira Sorvino, but the big-budget, overwrought "Glitter" shoehorned her in a typical high-camp showbiz rise and fall story.

 

In "Tennessee," Mariah plays against type as a drab waitress with musical aspirations who joins up with the boys on their road trip. She is also escaping an abusive marriage. This is a natural, effortless performance, nothing grand or showy. She makes her effects quietly. It is completely believable. And not until she sings, in a ratty bar, toward the end of the movie, are you reminded -- and with a jolt -- that this actress is indeed the famous, sexy and glamorous Mariah Carey. That's how well she inhabits her role. (And the song is quiet; she strums a guitar. Mariah doesn't go all five octaves on us!)

 

This is character study, modest, yet totally assured. I don't know if Mariah wants to be a "big movie star." Probably not. She has a successful day job! I think she just wants to be a good little actress who can connect emotionally with an audience; to make people love her in a different way.

 

When pressed about marrying again, Carey says: "It would have to be somebody who would take care of me emotionally and make the effort to understand me deep down. To know who I am, not what I am."

 

I suggest prospective suitors for Mariah's affections go see "Tennessee" when it opens. You'll find more than the pop queen who wears high-heels in the snow. You'll see a real woman.

 

 

 

Chart Preview: Mariah To Stay at #1

One thing we can say with certainty is that Mariah Carey will stay at #1 in week two. The Island/IDJ release is projecting 185-190k as we head into the weekend. Another thing we're sure about is that Leona Lewis has legs. We're putting the J/RMG album from Clive's latest diva at 90-95k, contingent on a bump from Wednesday night's Idol performance, which is already moving the needle on the digital side. Geffen's Ashlee Simpson is looking like next week's top debut with 50-55k, followed by the widely adored Kiwi duo Flight of the Conchords, whose first full-length will likely give Sub Pop its first Top 5 debut since The Shins last year with an estimated 40-45k, but it could go higher.

Actually 3 new movies with her are coming (Tenessee, Push and Don't Mess With The Zohan). I hope at least the music in Tenessee is good cause I'm not bringing my hopes up for her acting. Actually the film she did after Glitter was pretty good. (Wise Girls)

[dj4celine]

I won't be so sure about that, Bellamy. Critics are liking it and some say that it may be a huge hit in mainstream cinemas.

 

Besides, Glitter flopped but Wise Girls didnt. She did quite well in it.

So, according to HITS, there will be a more than 60% drop in her second week. Lately it's hard for everyone to sell albums, unless you don't do promotion 24h/24h on TV.

Yeah, I'm actually happy with these numbers cause CD's are not selling like before so we can't expect albums with more than 20-30 million coppies anymore.

and lmao at the playback think during TMB Can't stop laughing but I have to give her a credit. She did a great job trying to hide it

Are you kidding??? I'm thrilled!

 

Mariah Carey's E=MC2 Album Enters at #1, on Career-High First Week Soundscan Sales of 463,000!!!

 

'Bye Bye' is next - impacts at Pop, Rhythmic and Urban radio formats and is #1 most added across the board

 

E=MC2 also debuts #1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop albums chart and #1 on the Top Digital albums chart (Mariah's first-ever #1 digital album debut with over 50,000 scanned!). E=MC2 represents the biggest first week debut of Mariah's career!!!

I agree with you, Ray. And "Bye Bye" is gaining a lot on Mediabase CHR/Pop stations, so it'll do great on the Billboard Hot 100.
