 Mariah Carey Bio  

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! 

Mariah,, might be the last person in the world to admit that her stardom was not inevitable. Mariah's father was black and Venezuelan. Her mother, the daughter of Irish immigrants, was an opera singer. Mariah took after her mother in the pursuit of developing her vocal talents.

Her seven-octave range is certainly, at moments, reminiscent of any number of divas. But her vocal styles are drawn from gospel and rhythm and blues. In fact, upon the release of her first couple of albums, Mariah faced charges that she was just 'another white girl' capitalizing on black music. She immediately confronted the issue in Ebony, telling them that her father was black. In addition, American music styles are themselves so much derived from black music that it might be hard not to record an album drawing upon those influences. Mariah says of herself, "My mother is Irish, my father is black and Venezuelan, and me- I'm tan, I guess."
