UpdatesHere are some sections I updated this morning:
Rainbow
Well, tomorrow is August 1st, which is the last day to buy Rainbow. I hope everyone helped out and bought one to help out MC. This Thursday, we will find out if we did any good or if nothing came out of it :( Here is a story I got:
Today I went to Wal*Mart to pick up my 2nd copy of Rainbow, and they were sold out! At Wal*Mart they usually have at least 15 copies of it, so I went to one of the workers and asked where they had all gone. He told me that there had been "Rainbow" mania in the store this past week, and they were all sold out! So I went to K*Mart and they had none as well, only two copies of #1's. As I was searching they played "Melt Away" so that cheered me up ;0)
Aussie Cosmo!
Loke sent me a scan of the Australian Cosmopolitan inside. Here it is!!!
Do You Hear What I Hear? It's Mariah!
Hey Regina! Since everyone is always telling you things they came across that has to do with Mariah I thought I would too. Well on Saturday night my husband took me to the Irvine Spectrum which is kinda like an outside mall, and we went into a store called the The Limbo Lounge, and as we walked through the store I saw Mariah pants! They were selling cargo pants that had the waist cut off like Mariah invented! I thought that was so cool how she has started a trend!!! Bye for now and keep up the good work with the newsletter.
Hey Reg!!! I just wanted totell ya that yesterday I heard "Hero" on B96 (96.3) which is an urban station and then today I heard "Always Be My Baby" on Windy 100 (100.3) which is a lite rock station. Also, I love the "Do You Hear What I Hear.." section!!! You've GOT to keep it, girl!!! =) Keep up the stellar work, lamby!
Hi Regina! Today I was at a park eating a rainbow Lick-A-Colour popsicle and this girl and a guy walk by. The girl had on a crocheted top basically like Mariah's, but in beige! It was knitted the same way on the upper area, but the part that's supposed to be under the chest was very similar, maybe even exact... I couldn't really remember Mariah's, sorry! The funny thing about how this top fit the girl is that, unlike when Mariah wears it, the part under the chest was loose on her, it was almost skirt-like. :) Still, it looked good on her. I should've asked her where she got it, but... Actually, never mind! :D
Hi Regina, I am watching MuchMusic and they are having a special called "Cabin Fever" and they just played played MC's "Honey" video. :)!!!
Hey Saturday night I was listenig to the radio and the popular radio station down here started this program called Saturday Night Fever. Well they played the Can't Take That Away cub mix. I was so happy to hear it,I wanted to crank my stereo up but everyone was asleep!!!!!! And then earlier today I heard Dreamlover and Honey on the radio.
I was watching "Two of a kind" last week and one of the twin sisters went with a friend or sister to a pet shop and there was this lovely parrot that could sing , but then her friend said like , no , not that one , if I want to hear someone sing I'd listen to Mariah Carey! I don't remember if it was exactly this what she said but it was really great. And then I saw "Sunset Beach" the other night and this guy said something about his yacht called "The Mariah"!!!

MC in Vogue
PreciozaPR told me that Mariah is in the July issue of the VOGUE Magazine. The article discusses tub tops and it has a small pic of MC in one!
More Magazine News
Well Daphne e-mailed me and told me that Mairah is NOT on the cover of Singapore's FHM magazine. Her sources that told her were not correct! Also, FantasyDiva02 found an article in the GLOBE August 1st issue:
Cash or Carey
Wonder if MARIAH CAREY knows this, but loverboy LUIS MIGUEL's $1.7 million Acapulco mansion was this close to being put into foreclosure unless he coughed up about $35,000. The hunky singer forked over the loot the day before authorities could repossess his love nest.
Loving Mariah is Luis's Pleasure
Okay this is an old article, but Janet sent it to me and I thought it was so sweet :) Read what Luis had to say about his relationship with Mariah!
According to Luis Miguel, his music must reflect the way he feels at a particular given time. "Like in this case... this record is called Amarte es un Placer (loving you is a pleasure) and if you read between the lines, I think that you know who I'm talking about," he said provocatively. Does this mean that he is seriously involved? As everybody knows, he has been seen lately with the also famous Mariah Carey. But when asked about it, he smiled, joked and gave a vague sort of answer. "¿Novia? Did you say novia? That's not in my vocabulary. I never use it; neither marriage nor children. But I hope to have the fortune of being able to keep the company that I like, that I need, that I long for. "
And how about a duet with Mariah, wouldn't that be a good combination? "It's a good combination," he said, after pausing awhile. "But I don't know, I avoid mixing my professional life with my personal life. It's beautiful to admire the talent of someone who does work well, far beyond your relationship. To admire someone you love... a father, a son, a friend, your girlfriend, it can also be beautiful. In this case, there's great mutual admiration and that's beautiful. That's all."

Do You Hear What I Hear? It's Mariah!!
Okay, is this section being overplayed too much? Is it getting boring to anyone or should I keep it going?!? People are still e-mailing me the stories, so please let me know whatcha want!
Hey Reg- Last week I went to Wet'N'Wild and they had a radio station there- and they played tons of songs, but about 5 they repeated like 6 times each- and one was Heartbreaker! Everytime it would come on we would go and jump in the Lazy River so we could listen to it!
Hey Regina! Well the other day my bestfriend and I were eating at Whataburger and they started playing MC's "Fantasy" over their speaker system. It was so cool and was happy that I was eating to good music! :)
Yeah thats the one I was talking about.. Also since people tell you about hearing Mariah I heard CTTA at Meijer's and Heartbreaker at Fridays today.. And when I bought Rainbow I picked up the last copy so maybe that's a good sign! :o)
hi...well i was in my mall on thursday and i was walking in and i heard CTTA over the speakers in the entire mall!! i also just came back from vacation and heard heartbreaker twice and hero and some foreign song that was her and another guy but she was singing spanish, at first i didnt think it was her but then the DJ said it was. i was in Saint Martin. in the Northern Antilles. well thats about it..
Hey reg! Thanks for sending this to me!I went to wal-mart to pick up those stickers and it was so cool i heard "dreamlover"! I was so happy!. But when i couldnt find the stickers i asked this one cashier and she was like"Eww mariah Carey is so overplayed" so i said to her "i happen to be one of mariah careys fans so watch what you say!" so then she shut up and told me wher they wer lol! I sure told her off ! lol talk to you soon!
Q102 & JayZ/Joe
Shanae214 e-mailed me and told me she called Q102 (my radio station too--wahoo) and told them about the "sony situation." They said they are all for helping out Mariah and will start playing "Heartbreaker" more often! Sadly they won't play CTTA but hey, Heartbreaker is better then nothing! Also, she told me she saw JayZ and Joe in NY? She asked them both what it was like working with Mariah and they both said she is very sweet and she has a lot of talent.
Macy on MC
Okay, a TON of people wrote me about this. So, I guess I should report about it, ha ha! There is a new show called, "Don't Quote Me" on VH1 and they played Macy Gray's "I Try!" They were asking who she thought was the best of the best and she kept saying herself (how typical). Then they asked who was the best bad girl of Rock N' Roll and Macy said, "Ummmm..Mariah Carey!" Thanks to Emma, Lauren and everyone else who sent this information in!
Rosie DISSES Mariah
Well this is an OLD show and Mariah has already talked to Rosie about this when she sang Petals on Rosie's show but here is something that Katie wrote me:
Hi Regina, I was watching the Rosie O'Donell show the other day and she did this special on the Grammy's and showed all this footage from her tapes and stuff she had....well Rosie was in some Cafe with Macy Gray and asked Macy what she was going to wear to the Grammy's that night and Macy said she hadn't fully thought about it yet but that she had just got this new Peach colored set, then Rosie rudly interrupted Macy and said " Oh well lets hope to God that you don't pic something like what Mariah wore to the last Grammy's " and they on the side of the screen they showed a picture of Mariah in this lil black short lil dress, and then Rosie said " HELLO can someone get that girl some band-aids! " I just wanted to fill u in on how rude and vulger Rosie was being.......
Mariah on MTV Asia
Hazel wrote me and told me that MTV Asia recently had a
Males Weekend and a Females Weekaend, where they featured shows about male and female artists for two hours and of course MC is included in the Females Weekend. Here is what I was told:
Well, they showed the males first and they showed 30-minute shows about certain artists so I thought that was how they're going to do it in the females weekend. Anyway, so I watched out for it. And VJ Donita came on and announced that it was the Females weekend and she said that for the first day the're going to show only Mariah Carey. I was so happy. Imagine they put the other females like Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson for the next day. MC had all the two hours to herself. Anyway, they showed this program called Mariah's No. 1's. And of course I sang along to all of her songs(old and new).
Trading Cards
AlwaysMariah@aol.com, who runs Daydreamin of Mariah Newsletter (e-mail her to join), told me that she had Mariah Carey Trading Cards and will scan them. Rose also said that 3 weeks ago, she picked up some from the Virgin Megastore in NYC. There wasn't too many though, I was told.

MARIAH 'GLITTERS' IN NEW MOVIE
British TV hunk Max Beesley, who has been closely associated with Spice Girl Mel B recently, will co-star in the film as the pop diva's lover.
A spokeswoman for Mariah said: "Mariah has been talking about making this film since last year, but until now the producers have been looking for a leading man.
"Max Beesley has signed up and will definitely be doing the movie as her love interest."
The movie is set in the early 80's and is directed by actor turned film-maker Vondie Curtis-Hall. The script for the film has been written by Kate Lanier, who also wrote the script for the movie based on Tina Turner's life story, 'What's Love Got To Do With It'.
Meanwhile, Carey releases a new single later this summer. The singer duets with Irish boy band Westlife on the forthcoming release, which is a cover of the Phil Collins' hit 'Against All Odds'.

Fox, Col duet on Carey 'Glitters'; Beesley in mix
In addition, British actor Max Beesley has been cast as the male lead and love interest opposite Carey. Director Vondie Curtis-Hall ("Gridlock'd") is slated to start shooting the project in Toronto today.
Written by Kate Lanier, "Glitters" is set against the background of the New York club scene and centers on a singer who overcomes a troubled childhood to rise to the top of her profession. Beesley will play the role of Deejay Dice, a hip, streetwise disc jockey with a solid reputation in the underground dance world. While helping Carey's character with her career, the two fall in love. Rap singer Da Brat and Tia Texada will also be featured as Carey's best friends.
Columbia-based producer Laurence Mark will produce "Glitters," which is budgeted in the $20-$25 million range.
No stranger to the music world, Beesley is the son of jazz drummer Maxton Beesley and jazz singer Chris Marlowe, a British jazz and rock musician who has toured with George Michael, George Benson, Take That and Jamiroquai.
Beesley recently starred opposite Selma Blair in Curb Entertainment's quirky indie heist project "Take My Life Please." The actor, repped by Propaganda's Beth Holden and ICM London's Jane Brand, next stars in Propaganda Films' feature "The Match."

Do You Hear What I Hear? It's Mariah
EW Article
Now sources say she's been schmoozing with Elektra head Sylvia Rhone, as well as former Arista chief Clive Davis who's expected to launch a new label in mid-August. This, of course, comes as no surprise, given that since 1997--when she seperated from Sony Music chairman Thomas D. Mottola and began morphing from a demure diva into a flesh-flashing homegirl--there's been speculation that her days with the company were numbered. But Carey's publicist Cindi Berger denies she's met with the other labels. "It's not true, she's not leaving." Tellingly, Berger does admit that Carey has one album left on her deal, a soundtrack to the film All That Glitters, in which she'll costar with rapper Da Brat.
Sony staffers are mystified by Carey's online carpings ("It always sounds like she just woke up," says one exec) and note that first-week sales of her last CD, Rainbow were her best ever. But Carey may be focusing on current stats. While her image is bustin' out all over, her chart positions are deflating--especially her latest single, "Crybaby," which, true to her Web prophecy, fell after peaking at no. 28 on the Hot 100.

Rock & Roll Record Breakers
Host: "she's had 14 #1 singles, more than any other
female artist in history. With her 1999 single
Heartbreaker Marah reached a career total of 60 weeks
at the top of the charts, the record for a female
artist...we caught up with Mariah in New York City...
MARIAH: "I think what it takes to make a hit record is
a record that people can relate to, sing along with,
or maybe just moves you in a certain way for whatever
reason"
Then they started playing Vision of Love..
MARIAH: "Vision of Love was not a typical record to
have as your first single, it wasn't what was going on
with the radio, I mean it was a little different."
Now playing Emotions, now I'll be there, now
Dreamlover, now Hero.....
MARIAH: "To me the song Hero is a theme that I've
always kinda tried to integrate into a lot of songs
that I've done and the main thing is believing in
yourself."
Now playing Fantacy and one Sweet Day...
HOST: "After Hero came Fantacy and One Sweet Day, the
two songs made her the only artist to have 2
successive billboard #1 debuts."
MARIAH: "I was so happy to be working with Boys 2 Men
and that song was so special to me, it was really a
dream"
Geoff Mayfield(Billboard Mag): "One Sweet Day is a
huge accomplishment for both Mariah Carey and Boys 2
Men, not only did it debut at #1 but then it went on
to set a longevity record."
Now Playing Honey, now My All...
Host: "Mariah's broken an amazing number of records,
most consecutive weeks at #1, best selling female
artist of the 90's, And the first artist in history
whose first 5 singles all hit #1, all of this lead
many to refer to the 90's as the decade of Mariah.
Timothy White(Billboard Mag): "I like Mariah Carey's
single, there's something very up and kinda material
about them, and also in terms of her voice, she's got
that great facility where you think that anything that
she can think of singing she could sing in the next
instant and I think people can respond to that"
Now Playing Thank God I Found You...
Host: "And it's not over yet with her latest Mariah
achieved her 15th #1 single "Thank God I Found You"
MARIAH: "It's not really about breaking records cause
I would hope that even if someone came along tommorrow
and had a new record that my fans would still
apprectiate me for my music"

Do You Hear What I Hear? It's Mariah!
SONY PLANS TO LAY OFF 500 WORLDWIDE
The pink slips started rolling out Friday, as news of
the layoffs spread to the 13,500 worldwide employees
of the U.S.' third-largest record company.
It's the third time in about nine years Sony Music has
been forced to cut its payroll.
The mini-bloodbath pales in comparison to the more
than 2,000 staffers axed when PolyGram merged with
Universal Music, and the roughly 3,600 employees
Warner and EMI Music intend to let go once their
merger is approved.
But it follows word that one of Sony's biggest
money-makers, Mariah Carey, has been busy scouting out
a new label to call home once her final album with
Sony's Columbia Records is finished.
"As part of an ongoing effort to maximize
organizational effectiveness, Sony Music Entertainment
today confirmed it is redirecting its resources on a
worldwide basis to more effectively and efficiently
transition the company to meet the new challenges
brought about as the industry continues to evolve,"
Sony execs said in a statement.
Insiders familiar with the firings said the company
has fallen off after two winning years, with mega-hits
from Sony stars including Celine Dion and the
soundtrack from "Titanic," as well as Latin heartthrob
Ricky Martin.
The music giant has been in a bit of a rut, with
all-girl-group Destiny's Child topping Sony's
bestsellers' list at No. 14 on The Billboard 200
top-selling albums for the week ending July 22.
At the same time, Sony is making a big play to expand
its New Media divisions - looking to hire about 200 to
300 new people in the Internet and technology arenas
within a few years, company insiders say.
And the music giant headed by Tommy Mottola is also
looking to beef up its Latin American presence - after
watching sales of Martin, Jennifer Lopez and Marc
Anthony, all on the Sony roster, go through the roof.
"It's the normal course of business," said one
high-ranking music industry exec. "All music companies
must now rebuild their business models to evolve with
the trends."
Sources say some of the layoffs hit Sony's crown
jewel, Columbia Records, which is now completing its
integration with the promotional staff of C2, a
recently formed venture set up to work with Ricky
Martin, DJ Rap and PJ Olson.
In Columbia Records' L.A. office, VP of promotion
Steve Klein and colleague Rose Braunstein, as well as
A&R director Nancy Walker were let go. In the
company's N.Y. office, VP of A&R Rachel Felder,
daughter of Raoul Felder, and urban A&R executives
Rich Nice and Nigel Jello were also let go.

CAREY ON THE RAINBOW . . .
To all of the legitimate and dedicated fans, I ask for your help and participation with the petition I authored a few weeks back. There are a few more days before the expiration, and I plead for more support.
I am directing this petition to Sony Music Entertainment, Columbia Records, and Mariah’s management, Maroon Entertainment. It is an official grassroots request for the release of AFTER TONIGHT b-sided with Ex-Girlfriend. I think both songs make for great radio airplay and a video for Ex-Girlfriend could stage the return of the much-loved nemesis, Bianca.
I feel it is essential to CAREY ON the Rainbow, although it seems as if it is over. We should not be discouraged by Sony’s actions. Initiatives such as re-purchasing Rainbow during the week of July 25th and my petition cannot do anything but help.
I want Rainbow to be fully promoted so it can garner the attention it deserves from the National Academy of Radio Arts and Sciences when sending out prospect nominations later this fall. I think this album has a great chance of being nominated Album of the Year; but it might not happen without proper promotion.
We are so eager to just start focusing on the All That Glitters soundtrack, but it is a continuous cycle. Daydream was Mariah’s last album that received proper promotion. Since then, her new albums have been released with little attention, and not far from the release date, Mariah is recording again. This happened with Butterfly on to #1’s, from there to Rainbow, and now from Rainbow to All That Glitters. We need to stop shifting gears and continue to promote Rainbow!
I implore all who have not signed to sign, to have all of their friends and family to sign, and to spread the message to all other media that reach a mass number of Mariah fans or music fans in general. There are eleven days left before the petition expires. At which time I will be in Manhattan celebrating my 20th birthday, and during which I will make my way to Sony’s corporate campus @ 550 Madison Avenue and hand deliver my discourse and petition. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

All That Glitters Information!!!
Release Date: March, 2001
Distributor: Columbia Pictures
Cast: Mariah Carey, Da Brat (Louise); other cast not yet announced (though one possibility may be the director, Vondie Curtis-Hall, who is also well-known as an actor)
Director: Vondie Curtis-Hall (Gridlock'd)
Screenwriters: This one crucial detail is the thing that none of the articles about the film seem to mention (yet), but if they're going to start filming in just a few weeks, there must be a script, right? (2/1/00) Okay, well, as you can see below, there is a site that purports to have the script for this film, or at least a draft from July, 1999. If this is the draft, it is credited to three initials (K.L., M.C., and S.G.). "M.C." could of course be Mariah Carey. Or not. The only name credited is the K.L., Kate Lanier (cowriter of The Mod Squad, Set it Off, and What's Love Got to Do With It?). Please note that this script has not been confirmed as being valid, and that the screenwriting credits remain unconfirmed as well. (6/22/00) The online version of the script that I mention above has long since been pulled.
Based upon: A story idea conceived by Mariah Carey, though it is not intended to be perceived as autobiographical.
Premise: A young singer (Carey) who grew up in the projects after she was abandoned by her mother gets her big break when a DJ hears her demo tape (which also leads to a relationship). The film takes place in the New York club scene of the early 1980's, and the singer is a member of an all-girls group.
Music Note: Obviously, Ms. Carey will be providing the music for the film (to be produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who also produced her latest album, Rainbow), though there's no word yet on whether it will be entirely new material or some of her previous songs. What is known is that she intends to go on a big worldwide tour after the film is released in support of it (and the likely hit soundtrack).
Filming: Production is scheduled to start on this movie on July 24th, 2000, with locations to include Toronto and New York. Filming is expected to wrap around September 30th, 2000.

SUMar235 Opinion
This is the first major publication that has attempted to do some investigating concerning this story. And I think that what needs to be done is to get a hold of EW's address and mail the author concerning this story. They need to be made aware of how radio stations were told specifically not to play the song or they'd get sued and that contributed to its lack of success. I think that's the only way that we can pressure Sony and make our impression felt so that maybe some sort of investigation with Sony might take place...

I was visiting one of my old friends this week, there was one of those mini hard cover books sitting on her nightstand, and it was called "First Aid For A Teenager's Soul" compiled by Matt Anello. and i was flipping through it and read a quote, and i'm like "this is a great quote! i love it! it's so like me!" and then i flipped the page, but the name "carey" caught my eye, so i flipped back to see who the quote was from, and it was none other that ms Mariah Carey! it was:
"If there were difficult times when I was growing up, I got through them by being an optimist, praying and hoping, at the risk of sounding clichéd and corny, that through music I would rise above the whole thing..."
i'm not sure when she originally said that, but i thought it was cool

Quote of the Week Pic? Bye Bye Bye...
Well I used to change the picture next to the quote of the week everyday but it's just getting to be too much. So I will change it every couple weeks or something and keep to the "Pic O' The Week!" Sorry if this upsets anyone, but I don't think it will!
What ever happened to that Singapore FHM Magazine? What that story made up? Does anyone have a scan of the pics? Anyhow though, Mariah IS on the cover of the STAR Tabloid for August 8th. It's a pic of her from the AMA's 2000 and inside it says:
The award for most provocative goes to pop princess Mariah! Her eye-popping halter number turned heads and dropped jaws at the AMA show in January. Nothing like sleazing the moment, girl!
Smack in the kisser,
Courtney Love was browsing at the Too Faced makeup counter at Bloomingdales when she pounced on a lipstick color called "Heartbreaker". As the grunge rocker turned actress was trying it on, the clerk mentioned that the shade was created for Mariah Carey to wear in her Heartbreaker video. Apparently, Courtney isn't to fond of her singing rival. She snarled and said, "Oh, I don't like it after all" and wiped it off her lips. Courtney picked up a shade called "Hoochie" and sniffed, "This one must have been made for me!"
Thanks to Maria, Mariahlamby (aka Danielle), Art and Jimmy!
Jimmy told me the following:
Last night Mariah was on 2020....they didnt say n e thing
about her but they showed a pic of her on the rolling
stones cover while doing a interview with carson
daily.
Jimmy also told me you can check out Mariah in the special issue of J-14 Magazine featuring Christina A. Mariah has a small pic in it and it mentions her in the magazine a lot.
hey regina, yesterday i went to Toys R Us to get some Mariah stickers and i was having such a hard time finding them. Then they started playing "Thank God I Found You" over the loud speaker and then i found the stickers, THANK GOD! it took my breath away and ironically immediatly after TGIFY they played "Take My Breath Away"
Mark Barry, the cutie from BBmak, said that he likes Mariah's music.
Ok, today I went to the do nails with my cousin. [ I was just there waiting for her ]. And I was bored to death there, just sitting there, reading magazines and listening to music. So anyway, like about an hour there, they started to play the original version of "One Sweet Day". And my cousin smiled at me, because she knows how much I love Mariah. And after the original version, it was followed by the acapella version, after the accapella version, it was the accapella version again, and after the acapella version, it was the accapella version with music.
Howdy Regina , I went ice-skating last night and you know what , they played "Heartbreaker Remix" . It's great ! Thanks !
I was at work this this morning and I heard "My All" at 7:42 am! Of course, I had to sing along with it!
Okay, this might sound funny, but we were just having fun. Anyway, me and a few friends were at Deja Vu last night (a strip club, yeah haha). Anyway, the DJ played 2 Mariah songs right off (Always Be My Baby and Fantasy). And so we told the DJ that we were fans (especially one friend in particular. . .a female :) ). And so then he played the Heartbreaker Remix. So the night was winding down, and we asked him to play another song, and liked my friend (HUUUGE Mariah Fan) and he played her "Looking In" (her favorite)!!! LOL. A strip club playing a ballad! But Mariah's music seemed to liven the crowd of guys, and it seemed to make the girls dance livelier as well! They seemed to like Fantasy! Too funny. Anyway, it was just for fun, and that made it funner! Thought I'd share.
I don't think so boo! Nini said she was watching El Gordo Y La Flaca' yesterday and they said there was a rumor that said that Mariah and Luis broke up. El Gordo said that this rumor is false. He spoke to someone very close to Mariah and he told them that Mariah was filming her first major movie in Toronto, Canada. This is why they
haven't been seen together lately. He also said
Mariah & Luis speak on the phone all the time and that
they will see each other real soon.
I don't know if this is true at all cause I havn't heard anything else about this. Tommy told me that his cousin went to the Virgin Megastore and saw MC trading cards?!? Can anyone confirm this? Anyone have them?
Okay Dan sent me the following story...
Hey Lamb (Reg)-My friend Jeff that is going into 7th Grade was in Boston General 2 weeks ago, and he was in the room right under Mariah's when she was there and he had the nurse Mariah had and the nurse said she was really sick so SHE WASN'T IN A GOOD MOOD LOL! thats how everyone is though when we are sick! and When Mariah was better and when she left she signed everything there were like tons of people waiting out of the Hospital and so on and Mariah sent them all gifts (A Few Nurses and One Doctor) not sure what.. the nurse didn't say but she said Mariah is the most best and caring person she ever met! So IM guessing it was a nice and expensive gift there Reg! And also When she was there the nurse said she couldn't stop complaining about how small the TV is Lmao! so then she had someone (Not sure who) went out to buy a Bigger tv! for her LOL, and the Nurse also told Jeff that she was watching Total Request Live and The Tonight Show With Jay Leno & Bambi when she walked in well thought you would like to know (Jeff just told me today) . lol talk to you Later Reg!
Ben told me that he lives in Australia and you can get the Mariah stickers there too for $1.20 a pack!
Okay Mariahlamby (aka Danielle) told me that her boyfriend was watching BET Tonight last night and the editor of Sister 2 Sister was mentioning Mariah at the end. Here is what she said: (Sorry about the caps!)
SHE SAID THAT BESIDES BEING IN CAPRI TO RECORD THE SOUNDTRACK TO ATG, MARIAH WAS ALSO THERE 'CAUSE L.A. REID AND PEBBLES (GOOD FRIENDS OF MARIAH AND BABYFACE) WERE THERE TO RENEW THEIR WEDDING VOWS. L.A. REID IS BABYFACE'S PARTNER FOR "LAFACE" RECORDS, AND PEBBLES (PERRI REID) WAS A SINGER IN THE 80'S, AND THE FORMER MANAGER FOR TLC.
SHE SAID THAT MARIAH'S STUDIO WAS ON A HUGE HILL WITH LIKE 1,000 STEPS (EXAGGERATED O'COURSE LOL), AND IT TOOK HER LIKE 30 MINUTES TO GET UP THERE TO SEE MARIAH. SHE SAID MARIAH STAYED IN A DUMPY LITTLE APARTMENT FOR LIKE A MONTH, WHILE RECORDING HER SOUNDTRACK IN CAPRI.
Okay everyone, hopefully everyone will buy their copy of Rainbow before August 1st and we can help Mariah back on Billboard 200. Here are two replys I got today:
I was just wondering if you knew about the Rainbow sheet music because I bought it and a copy of Rainbow..
Wanted to let you know that I bought two copies of Rainbow to help out Mariah. I gave one to my friend, Eddy. I will give the other away as well. Let me know if I can do anything else for Mariah.
July 28, 2000...Buy Rainbow Now
Thanks...
Well, before I add today's news, I want to say thank you to everyone who sent me animated greeting card and everyone who sent me e-mails wishing for me to get better. I had a pretty bad virus and was in bed all day yesterday. I don't know where it came from, or what happened but I feel a little better today and hopefully it will go away soon! If I didn't get a chance to e-mail you back then I am doing it here, so THANKS EVERYONE! Much love to all of you!
Thanks to everyone who is picking up another copy of Rainbow to support Mariah! Hopefully this will help her get back on the charts! If you havn't picked up yours, please do so before August 1st! Thanks and here are some responses I got:
Hey Reg!I just bought 4 more copies of rainbow!! and while i was at the musci store i heard "All ive ever wanted" and"Anythime you need a friend"! and also i found out CTTA is #1 in Sacramento, CA and #1 on trl in brazil!!!!! Talk to you soon!
Hey, Reg, I have good MC news for ya!!! Today, I went to this record store in the mall in my city and I was seeing how many copies of "Rainbow" they have left and they only had 3 CD's and 2 cassettes left of it. Cool, huh?
Regina, Well, my friend and I went out today and bought "Rainbow." Believe me that was not and easy task. We went to 2 Wherehouse's, 2 Wallmart's, and Sam Goody. We bought the only 2 copies left at Wallmart. I live in Bakersfield, CA and it's impossible to find "Rainbow" here. Hopefully, Sony will ship out more albums soon. I just wanted to let you know that is hard to find Mariah's cd. Also, Bakersfield is a pretty big city so I can't imagine how hard it would be to find it in a small town.
Reg-I Just turned on the radio 5 minutes ago and "Bliss" was on! omg! and I listen 2 see if the guy said anything and he said "There you go new music by Mariah right there its called Bliss and you can look for that single in stores twards the end of August Early Sept" then he started playing BBMACK, Reg I dont know if he is making this up? or anything!! but this is great news!! I am just so happy because its one of my favorite songs on Rainbow!! :) anyways reg it would be so cool if Mariah did a Making the video huh? well ttyl im so happy bye:) and the radio station was Kiss 95.7
Hi, Regina! Yesterday and today were fully MC days. Yesterday at night (here in Miami) I heard "I'll Be There" on 104.3, then "Fantasy" on 96.9. Today I heard "Hero" on 106.7 which was a surprise because that's a Spanish radio station. Then later on I saw "CTTA" on The Box. I've been extremely happy ever since!
Ok, Hi reg... Anyway, i'm Rohai, and i hope you still remember me! So guess what.. i was watching cable yesterday and i was watching his movie Rush Hour... for the first time.. and guess what i heard?? MARIAH CAREY'S.."Fantasy".. the little Chinese girl was singing to the song... and they also played that song as background music... COOL huh?
Hello Regina,
I wanted to say how much I enjoy your site. No wonder Mariah approves. I wanted to let you know what I heard. I live in Houston and I went to First Colony Mall in Sugar Land, Texas. I was walking out of Dillard's and I heard the song. The mall was playing "Can't Take That Away!" It was amazing. I have never heard this song ever on the radio or anywhere else. The only place I hear it is on my stereo. No matter how much I request it, the stations here never played it. So you can see the excitement when I finally heard it in the Mall. It was beautiful and moving. The song is so incredible. I wanted to let you know that I heard "CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY."
Later that day I went to Wal-Mart Supercenter and heard "Hero." It really was my day. Mariah is an amazing singer, songwriter and I enjoy everyone of her songs and take it to heart. I appreciate a great web site such as your and all the hard work you put into it. Keep up the great work. Your job is never gone unrecognized. I truly appreciate everything. Thank you. From a fan of Mariah, to you, Thank you..
Hi Regina ! I'm from Tananarive. I heard on the radio 97.6 AOO, After Tonight and for once in my country.... CTTA !! I also saw for once in my life "Love Takes Time" video ! It was the only old video i had never seen. Hmm... What else ? A guy who works in my school will perform tonight songs by Whitney, Celine and our Queen Mariah in a cabaret. He has ever performed lots of Mariah songs for the Ball of our school.
Laura sent me some more information about the stickers. It seems that they are in the GAMES section of Wal-Mart! I guess where kids can ride cars and stuff! Also, Michelle told me that at one point, you could get Mariah stickers at Cub Foods, but they no longer have her stickers sadly. They only had 3 stickers but she said they were very nice!
Ramsey told me that CTTA has dropped from #6 to #8 sadly and 10 years ago, the album Mariah Carey rose from #13 to #10. Thanks to everyone who e-mailed me this information too. There were quite a few of you, in fact!
Well, it seems you can't vote for Mariah episode on The View because she isn't one of the 10 choices or so. Thanks to Robert and everyone who sent me this information!
Gabby told me that CTTA is #1 in Sacramento CA! Great news :)
Gary just received his Soft Rock/Dance Edition of the Columbia House Magazine and Rainbow is #20 on their Top 30 Countdown. Also, they had this to say about Rainbow:
"For her latest A-list affair, the talented diva co-wrote two songs with Diane Warren, including "Can't Take That Away" and the sweetly caressing "After Tonight". User escorts Mariah on the woofer-bumpin' seduction "How Much"; her famous four-octave voice sends Phil Collins' "Against All Odds" soaring into new heights, and she brings the soul-baring set to an uplifting close with "Thank God I Found You" (w/Joe & 98 Degrees). Also Heartbreaker (w/Jay-Z, plus remix w/Da Brat & Missy Elliott), Snoop Dogg, etc. (Columbia) 1999"
I think I reported this a while back but I am not sure. Gary told me that Mariah's "My All" song is featured on a new CD called "Loaded with Hits!" It's a double cd which features other artists like
'N Sync, Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion, Backstreet Boys, Tori Amos, and tons more.
Denise recently redid her website called "Diva Of All Time" and would like you all to check out the new design! Please click the link below:
Click Here to Check It Out!
Mark sent me a magazine update from Holland and here are two magazines to check Mariah out in:
- Star Club (France)...The August Issue...with a few little pictures.
- OK (UK)...The July 28th Issue...with a small article at the Hollywood Gossip section.
Here is what Michelle told me:
Hi Regina- Kelly Price was on Jay Leno Last night and talked about Mariah! She said she sang backup for her and Loved it! cause she got to see the world and shop unlike MC who had to do interviews. Kelly has lost 100 lbs she looks and sounds amazing.
Gogi said that Toni mentioned Mariah in her live chat yesterday and here is what she said!
UnexpectedRaj Asks: hi toni. This is raj from india, whom would you consider your greatest idols?
Toni_Braxton_Live : Propably Ella Fitzgerald, that's past, but if you're talking currently, I really like Mariah Carey, she's wonderful, she's a writer and producer and I don't think people give her as much credit as they should.
Okay the founder of Crybaby Mariah found this on the Mariah 2000 Messageboard. Tears came to my eyes when I read this and my heart goes out to this little boy! Please keep him in your prayers! Here it is:
BryMariahFan1 writes:
"Ok I don't normaly do this because I'm not a christain but I feel this is important. Please pray for this 8 year old boy. I was volunteering at a local hospital and I met him. He was in a serious car accident and both his parents were killed. The nurse was playing Hero in his room and I asked him if he liked Mariah, just for conversation. He told me that Mariah's music is the only thing that brings him hope. I feel so bad that he has to go through this at such a young age. He has such a desire to live. So please pray or whatever your religion has, for this brave soul."
Earlier this week I said I didn't have a pic of Tia Texada, one of Mariah's friends in ATG, but Ryan checked out his tapes and found Tia in a show called "Malibu Shores!" Here is a tiny collage of pics of Tia! Enjoy..
I am too sick today to work on InfoMC and I am sorry it hasn't been sent out this week! I am hoping to be able to get it out tomorrow and again, I am sorry for the delay of InfoMC and the lack o' updates on the site this week. IF I didn't get your news up in the last 3 days, please send it to me again. I am trying my best to bring Mariah news to you! Thanks :)
July 26, 2000...Buy Rainbow Now
Buy Rainbow
Well hopefully, a lot of you have picked up your copy of Rainbow. We are still going until August 1st, so if you havn't picked one up, you still have time. We are asking all of MC fans, to PLEASE pick up a copy of Rainbow to help Mariah get back on the Billboard 200 charts! Here are some responses I got:
I bought 3 more copies of Rainbow yesterday, anything for MC.
Just to let you know i told all of my friends to buy rainbow and i hope they will! Im going to get it tomrrow! If there is anything i can do to help with your website or anything else tell me il be more than happy to help!
hey regina, this is sherwin again..remember?? well, just to let you know that i bought 6 rainbow cd's today and i gave them to my friends that don't have the cd. the good part was, the cashier at best buy is one of my buds so she got me hooked up. i only paid $30 for all of 'em..cool huh?
what up
i was at coconuts today buying 3 copies of rainbow and when i went to ring them up i found out my friend was working there so i had him ring them up and he was asking me why all these people were buying rainbow today!!! i really didnt think many people were going to buy it but i guess i was wrong, some lady behind me was overhearing our conversation and she was said "i'm so glad mariah fans are pulling for her, i just grabbed the last 2 copies in the store." i really hope we can get her back on the charts again.
Hey Reigna. The other day when I was at K-Mart they had already sold
out of Can't Take That Away. Well today when I was there they had like
30 more copies. And I thought it was a Limited single. Who knows!! I
also bought another copy of Rainbow,and another copy of Can't Take That Away!
Well, I bought mine yesterday before going to work! So I chipped in my $14 for another copy of Rainbow too!!! That's only fair since this whole thing started on this webpage originally from Mark's idea!
So tell me, have you picked up your copy of Rainbow? Hopefully these amazing fans will inspire you to fork up $13.
I am so bad when it comes to the Billboard charts so as soon as anyone knows where Rainbow peaked again on Billboard 200, please e-mail me ASAP so I can let the fellow MC fans know :)
Well I just watched Later Today review on Camp Mariah. Mariah herself was barely in the little 5 minute coverage, but I think it was pretty cool segment on the Camp itself. They showed what the kids did and how it was more then just a camp, it was a place where kids could realize their dreams can become reality. Towards the end, there were three girls who were singing Hero! That was pretty coolio :)
I heard Hero today...on the Dutch Radio station Skyradio....they play Mariah every day but mosly
AAO...but Hero means more to me...It's special because Mariah sang it in front of me...when I was
at the London concert....for the Rainbow tour...so that's one reason....It also has an inspiring story...
I just got back from college orientation and we had karoke one night and these 2 girls got up there and sang "when you believe." One girl was Whitney and the other was Mariah! It was so cool!
reggie,
today i started my first day at work. and where i work is a pottery store. it was REALLY slow and all i did was stand around. but i heard "emotions" on the speakers and i was really surprised. i wanted to sing it so bad but i didn't. i thought it was cool cause i never hear any of her old stuff on the radio.
Laura told me you can find Mariah stickers at Wal-Mart. There are 12 of them, but not all of them are Mariah. Some are Janet Jackson and some are Madonna. They are $.50 a piece but Mariah had the most in there. She said you can't choose which ones you want, either. So what does that mean? Where can you find them? I don't know and neither do you. I work at Wal-Mart as a technician in Pharmacy and I checked it out, but couldn't find any stickers. I checked the gumball machines in the front but no stickers sadly :( Anyone got more information on this or the scans of the stickers? E-mail me!
vision.of.love@home.com said she saw a commerical for the show The View saying they are putting repeats of shows on while the girls on are on vacation. So you can go to their site, abc.com/theview and vote for your favorite shows. So why not vote for Mariah when she was on singing CTTA/AAO. Maybe that will help with sales and plus we can all watch Mariah again! Go vote!
Okay Mariah is loosing REALLY badly to Christina and Britney. If we all go and only vote once, we can help Mariah get back up there. Here is what Dan told me:
Mariah is losing to Britney Spears & Christina Aguilera in the best Female solo Artist of the year Britney is in the lead with 41. 1%, Then Christina is in 2nd with 40%, then in 3rd we have the Queen Mariah with 5.6%....and then in the Best Love Song of the year we have BSB in the lead with 40.3, Then *N sync in 2nd with 32.7%, then in 3rd we have Britney Spears with 18.8%, Then our Queen lol, is in 4th place with 2.5%......anyways I just thought I would tell you how Mariah is doing on The Teen Choice Awards and here is the address to vote... 2000 Teen Choice Awards
Afraid not Mariah, MTV has shut her out again! On the making of the video last year, Mariah asked if she could get a freakin MTV Video Award, but once again MTV said no :( Mariah didn't get any nominations this year, even though she deserved many for her outstanding Rainbow album. Sorry Mariah :( Thanks to Dan and everyone who sent this to me. There were quite a few of you, in fact!
Well I probably could help Pauline out, because I just finished a summer course on Public Speaking, in fact! I also just did a Persuasive Speech too but anyhow, I don't have much time sadly :( Read below:
Hey guys!!!
I need your help on something...in fact, I need as much help from as many Mariah fans as possible!!! Well, I'm taking these summer courses right now, and one of them is Public Speaking. Right now, we are suppose to be doing 'Persuative Speeches'. I am being Mariah's manager/promoter, and I am
suppose to try to convince people, especially the local radio station
manager, to play Mariah's new single, which is CTTA. I have an audience with
characters of something like: Sony president, Columbia Records manager,
inspired MC fan, Columbine High School Student(inspired also), close
friends, radio stationn manager, Mariah herself, Arista Records(threatens
Sony that is MC is on THEIR label, they would definitely release CTTA),
etc., etc.
Now, I need GOOD, STRONG arguments or points, ALOT OF THEM!!! I need to convince my whole entire class, including my teacher.
I also need ideas of another 2 characters which I can give to the last two people. PLEASE help me out on this, I am being VIDEOTAPED too, so I can probably do something with the tape to help out Mariah.
I need the help AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!! I'm doing the speech in 2 days!!!!! Thanks!!! ~Pauline~

I got this next article from Mariah's Crybaby Website!
Mariah Carey is set to make her movie debut in, 'All That Glitters Is Gold', which sees her cast in the role of an upcoming singer.
Mark told me that Mariah dropped on the Dutch Mega Top 100 Chart. She is now at #23 from #22!
Thanks to Isa for this following ATG article:
LOS ANGELES (The Hollywood Reporter) --- 20th Century Fox will partner with Columbia Pictures to finance the Mariah Carey starrer "All That Glitters," which Fox will distribute domestically, and Columbia will handle internationally.
Antonio let me know that the following website has been up for sometime now, I reported about it earlier this year, and it continues to be updated. So everyone check it out and make sure you bookmark it:
Upcoming Movies=All That Glitters
VH1.com is doing a poll of the 25 Sexiest Articles which will be turned into a show in September. It's really important that we go vote for Mariah in the "Sexiest Diva" category. Check it out at Vh1.com Thanks to Kevin for this information!
Shooting starts in Toronto today on Mariah Carey's first starring role in a movie, "All That Glitters." Frankly, the plotline sounds a lot like Barbra Streisand's first starring vehicle, "Funny Girl."
Chistina and Michelle both told me that yesterday Madonna's new music video, "Music" was shown on The Daily One. They got people on the streets opinions on the video and they last person they showed said that Madonna looked like MC
NEW YORK (Billboard) - According to sources, Fox TV plans to remake
"The Wizard of Oz" with a cast of top R&B and hip-hop stars. The role
of Dorothy has yet to be cast. Visitors to The Voting Booth were
asked who would best fill those ruby red slippers, and young R&B
vocalist Monica was the victor, garnering 37.9% of 29,254 votes.
Mariah Carey came in a close second, totaling 34.4%. Next in the
running were "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps" co-star Janet Jackson
(7.7%), Monica's duet mate Brandy (5.8%), Aaliyah (5.4%), and
Jennifer Lopez (3.8%). Rounding out the voting were Lauryn Hill
(2.4%), Toni Braxton (1.9%), and Mary J. Blige, who finished dead
last with just 0.6% of the responses. A new poll regarding Sony and
EMI's paid download programs is currently underway.
Thanks to Christina for yesterdays pic of Tia. You can check it out in yesterdays news. Also, tomorrow I will have three more pics of Tia for you!
Well I still have more news to add, but I am really sick and need to go to bed! I don't know what's going on but I can't stop shaking and I think it has to do with exhaustion and stress from this year o' problems. So, what does that mean? I will add the rest of today's news tomorrow morning and again, I am sorry for today's delay! If your news, that you sent me, wasn't added today, it will be added tomorrow!

I looked over the whole internet and cannot find one pic of this girl, what I did find out is that she can sing, she was in the movie, Paulie, and the show Malibu Shores
Okay Dennis sent me 4 pics from the Fantasy shoot and those are up in the NEW Gallery 33. Along with that, I added 2 new artworks that I did to the first artwork page and then Michele sent me a really cool drawing and I added that to artwork2. Plus, I rearranged the Pics Galleries so the "special" galleries were in alphabetical order! Here is one of the drawings I did last night. It's the Crybaby cover, enjoy..
Scott sent me in his opinion on the article I posted 2 days ago and you can see what he had to say on this pages Messageboard! Feel free to express your opinion!
Heather told me that she went to the Official BoyZIIMen website and they have a 13 minute tribute video which includes MC. She is in there a few times and she says her favorite song is "End of the Road!" She also, congrats them on their new album and all of this was taped at the Blockbuster Awards this year! Check it out for yourself:
http://www.boyziimen.net/index.html
Yesterday I was in Camelot Music and they played the Crybaby video on the monitors they have throughout the store... That was awesome! And then today at work, on my break, they played Always Be My Baby over the loud speaker... once again, Awesome!
Skip Dillard, the program director at WBLK, e-mailed me back and said he'd play CTTA & Crybaby. WBLK is still the only station here playing MC's new songs. Kiss 98.5 still hasn't even written back to me. So, I have a crazy idea. Do you think that if we made a petition to send out to radio stations throughout the country, asking them to play CTTA & Crybaby, that it would work?? Probably not, well we'll never know if we don't try. So do you think we should make a petiton to send to stations or have I lost my mind?? :-)
Also was going threw Mc Donald's drive threw with my Mom and we heard "Heartbreaker" inside while we were waiting in the window and when the girl was bring us the meal she was singing it, it was really cool and I Was singing along to! hehe and then we had to go pick up dog food at Big Y well my Mom ran in while i ate in the car and she said they where playing "Vision Of Love" I was so happy! well any ways ill try to keep in touch with you if I here her again or if I have any news bye :)
On Sunday, they played "Forever" at Ted's Hot Dogs
I went to the theater on sunday and while i was waiting for the movie to start they were showing ads and trivia on the screen. i was reading the trivia and then a pic of a dog showed up and it reminded me of Jack ,mariahs dog. Underneath the pic it said "Can you guess which Celebrity this Pooch belongs to?" So a couple of slides passed and then the answer showed up and it said "This little dog, Jack, belongs to international pop star Mariah Carey"
I was so happy to see Jack at the movies! LOL bye
Ok how weird this was! Maybe not...you hear this stuff all the time...I was listeniing to the radio tonight chatting or whatever, and In the period of about 15-20 minutes, I heard a bunch of Mairah-RELATED songs. First, it was the original "Make It Last", then once that was over, I went to the next station I have programmed, and it was the original "Against All Odds", and then after that was over, 3 stations up, "Aint No Fun" was on. Then a few minutes after that was over, "Everytime I Close My Eyes" was on. And that's it. =)
Hi Regina , I just arrived back in Australia and I got lucky again . Last night I went to McDonalds with some friends for supper and they played "Fantasy"
Regina, Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I heard "Sweetheart," "Someday," and "Vision of Love" on the radio and I also heard "Forever" at Rite Aid.
Last night I went to the theatre and in the hall they were listening
Butterfly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rod told me that MC made it to #1 today in MTV Disk, a program similiar to the US TRL. So, CTTA was the most voted video of the day, awesome news huh :)
Kym would like you to mail her all your stories of how Mariah has inspired them or helped them out. You can mail her by sending your entrees to the e-mail address below:
Wskcool@aol.com
Danielle told me that Mariah is featured in the Teen Beauty Handbook from Walgreen's. It just mentions her name once ("If you'd love to have the glamours looks like Mariah, try these styles...") so on and so forth. And it shows the picture of Mariah from the Glamour magazine. (The one where she's laying down, and its black and white, not the cover picture). It's only $0.99, and its a cute little mini pic of Mariah.
Kruggins J reminded me of something I never reported here. They showed Rock of Ages on VH1 yesterday and one of the videos was Mariah's CTTA. They got the kids and elderly people their opinions on the video and the song. One of the older men said that the song was very inspirational and that her outfit was really nice, while one of the kids said he wished her clothes were longer. Overall though, the comments were nice and a lot of the other kids were saying how they really liked her song and how she was bi-racial!
Thanks to Michelle for some of the Important Dates, which I updated yesterday!
Have you checked it out today? If not, go now :)
July 24, 2000...1 days till everyone starts buying Rainbow Again/Mariah starts ATG
All That Glitters...
Today, Mariah starts shooting All That Glitters in Toronto. We wish her all the luck with filming it and want to let her know that we support her in everyway possible! We Love Ya, MC!
Okay, I am updating the webpage a little later then normal today because I was scanning pics for the last 30-60 minutes. I added a new section to the Pics Page today and it's called, "Tommy's Miami Pics!" He took some LOVELY pics of Mariah at her Miami concert and I LOVE the Petal ones because they are beautiful pics! Also, if you went to the Miami concert, there is one pic where it shows the audience. Tommy said if you are in the audience, he is willing to send you the pics, since you are the big screen behind MC. Also, today I scanned a new drawing I did last night. I think the body is fine but something about the face I don't like. For anyone who draws, the Rainbow cover is HARD to do, I think! Anyhow, you can see it, by clicking below!
Daphne told me that Mariah is on the COVER of Singapore's FHM magazine. IF ANYONE has the scans, PLEASE send them to me ASAP! Thanks!!
Pppooofffz told me that there is a Top 25 Selling Tour list and Luis is #9 with 20 million dollars made and Mariah is #25 with 7.1 million dollars made.
I updated "Your Mariah Story, in Fact" and also, there is a new background pic to the webpage. Enjoy..
Having a hard time finding the stickes at Toys R Us? Out of the country and can't find them anywhere? Well then good news for you. Alan wrote me and told me that mariahdirect.com has been selling them for a while. So go order your MC stickers today!!
Lori told me that she went to her Towers on Saturday and they had their own top 10 Singles list and CTTA was #5. She said she was so happy because the radio stations won't play the song but the single is still doing well there!
Bryan was so nice and he made a realvideo of the VH1 special segment of Mariah. However, I couldn't get it to work and plus I don't put realvideo on this site, so I sent it to Elin, my Mariah4 bud! She has a great collection of clips of Mariah, so hopefully she can get it up on her site today! Once again though, thanks to Bryan for sending me it!
Melissa reminded me that we REALLY need to vote for Mariah on the Teen Choice Awards 2000. We want MC to beat Britney and them, so PLEASE go vote for her!
http://www.fox.com/specials/teenchoice/polls/tc_music.htm
Okay tomorrow it starts; that's the day we all start buying Rainbow again. You can buy it anwhere between the week of July 25th-August1st. By doing this, hopefully we will get Rainbow back on the Billboard 200. We need everyone's support on this, so PLEASE, everyone help out, if you can! Spread the world...
Okay this is what Melissa told me:
Hello. I wanted to let you know that Mariah is on "Today's" credits. At the very end it shows a clip of performers and Mariah is one of them. She's wearing a black halter top, with a black jacket and black pants. Unsure if this is old news. It's right in the middle almost the end so you would need to pay attention carefully.
Okay I got a couple of Responses about that article that I posted yesterday about the vocal chords. If you would like to chat about this, go to the messageboard and post your opinion on it!
Hi, ok in the newsletter, you had an article that someone found on a messageboard for singers that had mentioned mariah and it said that because she had used her chest voice and strained her voice so much that now she has a whispy tone, Well, ok that is so not why she does that. Mariah wants to be flexible in her tones and have a unique way of singing. Just because she's famous and successful does not mean she doesnt need a challenge. That person who wrote that is stupid, cuz she says if she overuses her chest voice herself, she loses her voice! I am a trained singer and you are never supposed to lose your voice in anything you do! Sorry, that just annoyed me, and Mariah sings wispy for a reason, and not because she "over-used" her chest voice. It's just as easy as long as you have the training and the breath support!
Mike told me you can get some cool posters of Mariah, like the Rainbow Poster, Around the World and Sweetheart Poster, for only $7 at drwax.com So go check it out, I know I will :)
My buddy Brianne told me she got the jcrew.com newsletter yesterday and they were selling Mariah's jeans for $78 a pair. Kind of expensive but you get a $10 gift card if you buy them!
I didn't actually hear mariah,
but I was in Delaware last nite and went to Rainbow
records. I bought 2 mariah promo flats they had in a
box of flats they were selling for $1 and the girl
before me in line was buying Music Box. It was neat! 2
mariah purchases in a row!!
hi my name is Liz and i recently went on vacation, the day b 4 i did i wuz doing some last-minute shopping. I wuz in a drugstore and they play all this "easy listening" crap. well n e way i heard the familair words "lying beside you, here in the dark" but it wasn't Mariah! it wuz the original version that MC redid and no offense but i can c y Mariah redid it and i m glad she did cuz the original sucked, who ever said that sequels never live up 2 the originals?
On Destiny's Child All Access show, the girl with the short hair cut was sporting the Mariah jean look. Also i know this is kinda old but in 90210 Beverly Hills. Where David was still in High school and he was working as a mc for their radio station. Theres a Mariah Carey pic of her first album in the room.
July 23, 2000...2 days till everyone starts buying Rainbow Again!
New Pic...
First off, sorry for the update yesterday. I had to do it fast cause I had lack o' time, as I mentioned yesterday. Uwe was SO NICE and sent me another CUTE pic of Mariah with the kitty! I added it to Gallery 32 and I also put it as the new Quote of the Week pic for today! So check it out, in Gallery 32! ALSO, tomorrow, I will be adding scans from the Miami concert which Tom sent me in the mail! Stay tune for that!
There is a new Quote of the Week and Pic of the Week since it's Sunday! Enjoy!
Do you love watching Mariah on TV? Love punching in that video and sitting back and watching the #1 Diva of all time? Well, then Imelda has an offer for you. She is selling a lot of RARE Mariah footage from around the world in PAL and NTSC formats. Cool huh? Well you can find out more information by checking out her post on the messageboard and e-mailing Imelda about it! Better hurry..great offer!
Chris sent me this tiny article he found from Hollwood Reporter:
Tia Texada (``The Thirteenth Floor'') is set to join Mariah Carey in Columbia Pictures' ``All That Glitters'' for director Vondie Curtis-Hall. Texada will play one of Carey's two best friends in the rags-to-riches story, with rap star Da Brat playing the other.
We are now TWO DAYS away from July 25th. During the week of July 25th-August 1st, we are asking all Mariah fans to buy another copy of Rainbow since it just flew off of the Billboard 200. It's extremely important that we have your support on this because remember, we are doing this FOR MARIAH! Let's show Sony that the fans still have the power! I will be buying mine, so I hope you will too. Here is what Scott wrote me:
Hey lambs! I just wanted to let you know that I will be going out and buying at least three different copies. I already have the Cd, so I'm gonna get the LP, the cassette, and mini disc. I also have been playing the Rainbow CD in my car non stop, so all of my friends have been getting hooked on X-Girlfriend and Crybaby, so I'v egot some of them who are gonna buy a copy too! Let's get Mariah back up there in the charts!
Mark told me you can see MC in the July 17th issue of Voici! Also, Alan told me that MC is in the latest issue of BOP Magazine. There is a pic of her with sunglasses (anyone got the scan. Sorry don't know the date of the magazine!) And finally, Mariah is in a magazine called, Ocean Drive West End. It's a british magazine and it's it the Spring 2000 issue. "TheGirlFromIpanema" told me that MC is on page 27, with a pic of her from the AMA's. Madonna is on the cover also!
CAT told me you can check out a quiz on Mariah today at MSN. It's called "Big Voice vs. Ego!"
http://cagle.slate.msn.com/news/mcgarry/
Well I know a couple of people already bought tickets to Later Today but sadly MC won't be there! It will be a taped special about Camp Mariah, so Mariah will still be on the show. Thanks to my Mariah4 buddy Elin for this information!
Lisa, aka Maz, is starting up her own messaegboard and here is what she told me:
I have a new message board but now I need people to come visit and post messages! It's for all my friends to visit. Just go to
http://pub20.ezboard.com/fmazsboardgeneraltalk and under where it says "new
topic" just click on "Register Your Free Account." You can talk about
whatever you want at this board. Please come. Let me know if you need help.
Sarah told me that MC is LOOSING at the Teen Choice website meaning we have to vote for MC!
http://www.fox.com/specials/teenchoice/polls/tc_music.htm
A couple of people wrote to me and told me some tidbits of seeing MC on tv and here they are:
Wassup Regina? I was watching the WB hit show "Charmed" and one of the sisters who plays a witch (Alissa Milono) Sported Mariah's cut off jeans. I see a lot of people now sporting those jeans. Amazing how Mariah could make people wear those jeans.
I just thought you might want to know that in the video for "Just Be a Man About it," singer Toni Braxton is wearing Mariah Carey pants + on MTV's Say What Kareoke finals, the third finalist was a female who sported those same jeans during her performance b4 the finals.
Hey Regina, I was watching MTV earlier and the talented Destiny's
Child(from right here in Tx!) had an hour special and
at the beginning of the show Kelly was sporting MC's
cut-off jeans and then at the end of the show Beyonce
was sporting some too! Looks like MC's cut-off idea is
becoming really popular! Then, I was just watching VH1 and they were having
another Rock and Roll special and they were talking
about Whitney and then they started playing Mariah's
"Ill Be There" and so I again hit record quickly to
record the short segment.... and the host said,
"Whitney's roll would be challenged by another dynamic
Diva Mariah Carey, her polished up rendition of a
classic pop ballad was among 3 top ten singles she
scored in 92. And then they played a little more of
I'll Be There
hi! I saw mc 2 times on TV last night!
the first was on 'inside edition' and they were talking about how dangerous high heeled shoes were and the host said that celbs like mc wear high heels a lot and then they showed a clip of 'honey' were she dives into the pool!
the second was on pop-up video on vh1 and this old queen video came on they were talking about this high note part in the song and they said that this one member of that band could easily hit a high e and they popped up a thingy that said that Mariah Carey could also hit a high e very easily-she has a 7-octave range and they showed a clip of fantasy~
Kate sent me an interesting post she saw on a messageboard about singers vocal chords and Mariah is mentioned in it. Read below:
Referring to the type of singing you would hear from Whitney, Mariah, Christina,and Celine? If this is what you are talking about, This is a very powerful way of singing and not everyone can do it. It is called using your chest voice, and depending on what voice type you are you may not have aquired the ability to do it. using your chest voice is just as it sounds, you
have to have a great amount of breath support to be able to do it right. It is also very straining on the vocal chords, as you are not using correct vocal technique. I know this for a fact. I have been singing for over 20 years since I was 5 to be exact ,and my best singing is done in my chest voice. It is very wearing on my voice and I can only do it for so long before I lose my voice. A great example of the strain, is by taking a listen to
Mariah Careys first albums and comparing them to her most recent recordings . her tone has become "Whisper like" and not as full as it used to be. This is from over using her chest voice and whistle tones. if she keeps mis-using her voice, she'll lose it.
July 22, 2000...3 days till everyone starts buying Rainbow Again!
Updated...
Okay, because I have lack o' time, I am only adding a little bit more information here tonight. A lot of you sent in your news, it's just I don't have much time to add it today. Big update coming tomorrow though and again I apologize for slacking today!
Michelle told me:
Hey Regina! I was watching Spy Groove on MTV and this girl on there was a waitress at a bar and she said that it was a weird night and that she thought she saw Shania Twain and Mariah Carey doing jello shots out of Cher's bellybutton! It's a re-run so this might be old news!
Michelle also told me that you can find some cool wallpapers/screensavers/ICQ Skins & more at the address below:
http://www.celebritydesktop.com/musicians/mariah_carey/
Kloewe sent me a nice artwork of Mariah and instead of uploading it to Xoom, which a lot of people have problems in, I thought I would just add it here. It's pretty small, so click on the thumbnail below if you would like to check it out, in fact!
Hi, my name is Sabrina. I luv your newsletter and i think u r great for dedicating so much time to share Mariah stuff wit HUGE fans like me. I saw the new section about where we see or hear MC. I was watchin LTV a latin network and they showed some latino singers, after they showed Mickey they
showed her. I'm glad that ppl r recognizing that's she's part latin. I mean ppl are ppl and that's what matters but i just remember the days when ppl used to say "who's this white girl tryin to sound black or sumthin?" Gosh don't the haters annoy u?!
I think it's so cool that u talk to MC on the phone and stuff. U go girl! Thanx for the site and keep up the good work cuz we all LUV Mariah. buh bye
Hey Reggie girl!!!! =) Well, this is cool, I thought.
Last night I was at this restaurant where I live
(which is northwestern Indiana) called Dino's (I go
there almost every night). I was there with my
boyfriend and we were kind of having an argument. I
was really sad and everything but THEN... "Without
You" by our one and only Mariah comes on! It
definitely made me feel better! (by the way, me and my
boyfriend made up =)
This is what I call my "Mariah Week" . Every single day for this week , I listened to Mariah on Radio and in shopping malls . Yesterday , I heard Whenever You Call ( With Brian McKnight ) and Always Be My Baby in a shopping mall . Today , she was featured on MTV Asia . It was called "MTV Mariah #1's" . Thanks !
Well, anyway, I have a small thing for Do You
Hear What I Hear? as well. I heard "Hero" on Windy100 (100.3) today. It's a lite rock radio station out of Chicago. Cool, huh? I then proceeded to listen to my entire "Daydream" CD. =)
In dance class today the teacher put on "Honey" for warm-ups & I whispered loudly, "Mariah!!!" and looked to the girl beside me. Then I showed her my "MC" necklace I was wearing and said, "MC! - Mariah Carey!" Her eyes got really big and she was like, "Whoa!!!"
Zach and RainbowPetalz told me that there is an article of MC in the July 28th issue of Entertainment Weekly with a not so nice looking cartoon. RainbowPetalz typed it out for me and here it is:
BUTTERFLY...AND BE FREE
Is Mariah Carey's career in trouble? Judging from the rambling audio messages she's been leaving in recent months on her new website of choice, Mariah2000 (mariahcarey.com), she seems to think so. (There's considerly less candor on her official Sony Site at mcarey.com) "The political situation in my career is not stellar... I am getting a lot of negative feedback from certain corporate people.. It's a complete mess", she said in a May missive, imploring fans to really behind the single, "Can't Take That Away," because "if there are not thousands of requests to radio stations and TRL constantly, it is just going to quietly fade away." In a June follow-up, she cryptically added, "I do it for you, and I don't want to have to stop because I'm afraid"
Tahiana, from Brazilian Mariah Carey Fan Club, gave me some more information on CTTA standings in Brazil:
I'm writing to one Brazilian New about Mariah: her video clipe Can't Take That Away has appearead for the first time on MTV Brazil on July 19th, in July 20th the video clipe was in the 4th position of "Disk MTV" (the daily chart of MTV Brazil) and today (July 21th) the video has occupied the second position! Passing Backstreet Boy's (The One wich is in the 2nd position for many weeks) and Hanson with This Time Around (in 1st position for many weeks). That's wonderfull!!!! We have to continue requesting MC! The phone to request her on MTV Brazil is: (0xx11) 5180 33 33. The e-mail is: disk@mtv.com.br but they only accept votes by phone.
Chris wrote me and told me some not so good news. It seems that Sony bought out a club called, "Rainbow" and refuses to allow any Mariah Music or Gloria Music to be played now. Read what Chris told me :(
Hey Reg...
I wanted to write you and let you know a little something that is going on in Knoxville, TN.
I am a HUGE MC fan and regularly go to the "Rainbow Club" in downtown Knoxville. This is a primarily gay club, that has live entertainment (drag queens) on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. On very many occasions in the past, they tend to do MC songs in their entertainment.
Well... recently the club was bought, by none other than SONY MUSIC itself!!! And instead of promoting MC's music, they have issued a statement to the club which basically said that they are no longer allowing any of the drag queens to include songs by Mariah Carey or Gloria Estefan in their acts. They may feel free to continue with any songs by any other act in Sony music, including Jennifer Lopez.
And subsequently, they no longer play any MC or Gloria Estefan music at all - even when people are dancing. I asked the DJ one night to play the Heartbreaker Remix, and he replied that they no longer had it. I then asked him to play the remix to CTTA, and he said that he never heard of it before. Kind of odd don't you think? Why would a club that is owned by Sony not be allowed to promote two of its biggest artists??
Thought you would just like to know...CHRIS
ILUVJETER1 works at this store and tells me that they are selling Mariah jeans by DKNY!
July 21, 2000...4 days till everyone starts buying Rainbow Again!
Exclusive New Pics-MC & Jill!
Yesterday I got a package from Minerva and inside were 4 pics of Jill and Mariah onstage at the Paris concert, in fact! This is where Mariah and the gang started to sing Jill's Theme Song! Anyhow though, you can check out those 4 pics of MC/Jill in Gallery 32. Plus, CAT sent some of her drawings, so they are up in Artwork Page 2 and Kristen sent me a scan from her newspaper. It's from the Oscars and the article talks about the people that Joan dissed at the Oscars. Half of the article is missing though cause it was so big!
So make sure you check out Gallery 32 and the Artwork #2 pages!
HoneyBFly posted this on the messaegboard yesterday and I saved it upload it. She talks about Mariah a lot in it but not in a good way but in a bad way. Check it out for yourself by clicking the article below:
Meg and Kristen both told me about this show. It's a show that aired on VH1 yesterday, and basically it talks about all the record breakers including Elvis and MARIAH CAREY!! I tried finding when it would reair but there was no mention of it on the VH1 website. So if anyone can find it out, please let me know! Kristen was NICE ENOUGH to type out the WHOLE segment of Mariah..isn't she great?!? Here it is and thanks again Kristen!
If you missed the World Music Awards, VH1 is reairing them tomorrow night at 10 pm. VH1's website says:
Compare Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey's use of dry ice in this special recorded before Monaco's Eurotrash.
Jill neither denied nor confirmed that Mariah was doing this for the ATG Soundtrack but DJ CLUE 727 hunted down the lyrics to Madonna's song, Burning Up and here they are:
BURNING UP (MADONNA)
Don´t put me off´cause I´m on fire, and I can´t quench my desire.
Don´t you know that I´m burning up for your love?
You´re not convinced that that is enough.
I put myself in this position, and I deserve the imposition.
But you don´t even know I´m alive,
and this pounding in my heart just won´t die,
I´m burning up...for your love...
...You´re always closing your door,
well, that only makes me want you more,
and day and night I cry for your love, but you´re still...
...To justify my wanting you.
Now, tell me what you want me to do, I´m not blind and I know
that you want to want me but you can´t let go
Come on, let go!...Do you wanna see me down on my knees?
Or bending over backwards now? would you be pleased?
Unlike the others I´d do anything,
I´m not the same, I have no shame...Ooo, yeah...
...You know you got me burning up´ baby...
Moneira told me the following:
Hi Regina, On one of my local radio stations has a website http://www.chumfm.com and there's a little short bit about Mariah on the main page today. It says "When Mariah Carey released her eponymous debut album in 1990, she launched an unbroken string of successes unparalleled in the music history. Mariah Carey has sold more than 12 million albums worldwide and yielded a record-setting four consecutive #1 singles on Billboard's Top Pop Singles chart: "Vision of Love," "Love Takes Time," "Someday," and "I Don't Wanna Cry." All four appear on #1's." Underneath it, they have some album covers of hers that link to a CD retailer.
A few days ago, my sister and my mom went to get haircuts and I went with them. There was a lady there who was whistling to the radio that was playing in the salon. Then "Dreamlover" came on and she was whistling to the intro tune and the "doo-doo-dos" and I was amusing. I was singing out loud to it and my mom was sorta moving to the beat. My sister told me after she got her haircut that the lady cutting her hair was singing to it quietly as well. :)
Regina, I just wanted to let you know that I was at the Polo Jeans Co. store in Beverly Hills today and they played the "Thank God I Found You" video on the TVs throughout the entire store. Just thought I'd pass this along.
This week must be my lucky week . Just now , while I was at a shopping centre in Kuching , Malaysia , the department store I was going played "Did I Do That ?" Isn't it great ?!!
Allen sent me this little article that he found at the Variety Website! Allen said she will most likely be one of the other members of the girl group in the movie (suppose to be three he says!)
... Valerie Pettiford, who earned a Tony nomination for ``Fosse,'' has landed a leading role in the Mariah Carey starrer ``All That Glitters.'' Pic is slated to begin lensing next week in Toronto.
Minerva, one of my VERY best friends, e-mailed me and was having a problem. If anyone ever dealt with mariahdirect.com, do you know what you put in for the "Coupon ID?" She wants to buy a tourbook and a jersey, but she can't get past that section on the website. So if anyone knows the answer, please e-mail her at:
mcarey2000@ole.com
Well at least at the moment she is. We don't want Monica to win the poll on who should play Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, so PLEASE everyone go there and vote for her at least once. Thanks to Matt, Gary and Tmbaland98. Monica has 41% and MC has 28%. ECK, please vote by clicking below!
http://www.billboard.com/poll/poll.asp
Ramsey told me that CTTA Remix moved from #7 to #6 on the Billboard Dance Charts this week and Mariah's first album, Mariah Carey, ten years ago rose from #15 to #13 this week! Awesome huh?
Manú from Brazil told me that CTTA was shown for the first time in Brazil and yesterday it was #4 in their version of TRL! Manú says that hopefully next week it will be #1!!!
Julie told me the following:
Hi1 I don't know if you saw this or not, but last night (real late) on VH1's Rock n Roll Jepordy they asked about MAriah. They wanted to know which album featured Dreamlover. It was celb. jepordy with Brian McKnight and 2 other people I have never heard of before. The sad thing is that nobody got it. They didn't even try!=( I got it right though! Oh well just thought I'd tell you about it.
Oh yeah and one other thing, BET had Mariah's Honey video (the original) on today on their show called Video Link.
Kristen told me that she was watching "All My Children" and Haley, was sporting Mariah's cut off jeans!
Maureen said that a couple weeks ago, I put this link up and it helped MC get up to #2. Maureen would like all of our help again in getting MC into the #1 spot so please vote for her on this poll by clicking below:

July 20, 2000...5 days till everyone starts buying Rainbow Again!
Update #2
Special Announcement
"Rainbow" has been removed from the Billboard 200 now at 35 weeks on the charts, Mariah's lowest! I hope you all support buying another copy of "Rainbow" during the week of July 25th-August 1st now, so we can get it back on the charts! It's all about helping Mariah!!!
New Pics
Okay last night, I went through my directories and updated both Artwork galleries. I add the Rainbow Drawing to my section on the first Artwork Page and then I added a BUNCH of new drawings from Isa, Rae and another one, which I forget who the author was. Check them out if you like. Then I updated Gallery 32 with 3 news pics. Steve told me that Mc is in the July 25th issue of Star and he sent me a scan of it, which is up now in Gallery 32. Also, Sam sent me the scan from the InStyle magazine with MC in Capri. Finally, the last pic I got from Uwes fab German Site. It's one of the CUTEST pics I have seen of MC for a long time. Got to see it!
A lot of you are continuing to send in your e-mails saying that you will support Mariah and help her out on the Billboard Charts. We are asking all Mariah fans to buy at least one more copy of Rainbow in the week of July 25th-August 1st to help with her sales of Rainbow, so it doesn't fly off Billboard with the lowest weeks on the charts ever for a MC album. Please help out! Here are some fan responses I got about this:
Hey there Regina, this André a big Mariah fan from Canada. I love your website, and I visit everyday. I would like to let you know that I will buy another copy of Rainbow (probably on cassette, for my car). I know I live in Canada, so my purchase won't affect the Billboard chart position in the U.S., but, I would still like to do my part. Perhaps you could publish other countries' charts so people like me could see if our support makes difference. In any case I will support Mariah any way I can.

Hey Regina, I work in a music store and we have 5 copies of Rainbow... I plan to buy all of them so the company can send us more :)
Okay a lot of you e-mailed me about more information about this. I searched the Toy R Us near me and no luck :( But then I went to the one an hour away and I found them. They are in a weird section. They do not come in little packs but longer ones. You can find the MC stickers in the BIRTHDAY SECTION! Like where you get the streamers, little presents, cards, table cloths, etc. They have Britney Spears, Madonna and MC. Go get yours today. They are $1.99. Thanks again to Art for informing me about this!
My Mariah4 partnet Eric informed me that the AAO will not be released on July 24th but on October 23rd. This news was confirmed by HMV and it isn't even listed as Mariah's single but as Westlife's.
Paul Jackson has some really bad news. Against All Odds, the duet with Westlife, will not be released on July 24. It has been postponed until October 23, 2000. This news was confirmed by HMV. Also, the single was also listed as a Westlife single and not a Mariah Carey single. It is still uncertain when this duet will be released in Australia.
Carmela e-mailed VH1 asking them to play Crybaby and CTTA more and here was the response she got:
Thanks for writing to VH1. Although VH1 does not have a video request
format, we appreciate your feedback and will share your request with our music programming group. We appreciate your interest and enthusiasm. Hopefully you'll see Mariah Carey on our video playlist sometime soon. Thanks for watching VH1.
Yesterday i heard/saw mariah about a million times!!! First, I woke up to my alarm and "someday" was on the radio. Then later on i was listening to the radio and "Hero" came on the air. Then after "Hero" was over the DJ said something like "if that wasn't enough Mariah for you, here is one more.." and the played "Mariah's Theme" back to back with "Hero," it was awsome. Then right after "Mariah's Theme" was over, i heard the introduction to "Open Arms," and thought that they were playing nothing but mariah. But sadly it was Journey's version, not Mariah's. Then later on at work, one of my friends that i work with kept singing "Thank God I Found You," and we had a duet!! Then while we were cleaning up at work, we turned on the radio to an R&B staion and "Crybaby" was playing, which was weird, cuz it was the first time i'd heard it on the radio. Then, if that wasn't enough, after i got home i was watching a local tv staion and they were playing "inspirational music videos" and they played "Mariah's Theme."
First time i was in the waiting room at the doctor and Can't Let Come came on, then when I got in my car and turned my radio on Can't Take That Away was on! I was excited! Then on monday I was at the theater watching X-Men and during the pre-show entertainment when they have advertisments and stuff like that they played Heartbreaker. What a week!
Hi my name is Lupe and im from Sanger,California and last night about 10:15pm i happened to search through some of my favorite stations and i came across Soft Rock (98.9) and it was during "Detications" hour and i heard "Anytime You Need A Friend" by Mariah. I was so excited since i haven't heard it on the radio in a long time. Then later that night i switched to B95 (94.9) and they played "Always Be My Baby" it was so cool!!
On Mon I went for training for my new job at Molly's Hallmark in the mall by me and I was being shown around to all the things in the store than I had to watch a video on ornaments stuff like that. Well than they gave me a project to do with the ornaments and it was driving me crazy there were soooooo many ornaments, just as i was about to scream guess what comes on in the central part of the mall? He He He "CTTA" I was sooooo happy, I was singing the song like an ass and people were coming in and out of the store. Oh well I was happy.
The other day I was in Bloomingdales in NYC and I heard Butterfly playing on the speaker. I was like, ok, this is cool, but then My All came on and I realized they were playing the whole Butterfly cd.
I heard the DJ on the radio saying how MC was starting to film All That Glitters soon and how she's glad that MC is getting her first role and that everything works out well for her. Also, If you go to streambox.com you can look under MC and they have audio interviews of her, remixes of songs, and live preformances. They have like 500 different songs/version. It's really neat and I thought you'd like to know.
Thanks to Nini for this article:
Sony Music confirmed yesterday the company will lay
off about 500 employees - roughly 4 percent of its
work force. One hundred of those music staffers are in
New York.
RnbowCandy told me that there is a pic of MC from the Diva's 2000 show, where she is wearing her famous jeans and butterfly top in the August 2000 issue of Cosmopolitan. Also, Julia told me that MC is in the Truth or Tabloid section of the InStyle Magazine, on page 132. There is a small pic of her and it's the August 2000 issue:
Nailing it
the report:
The Globe (April 25) also reports that Mariah Carey insisted on having a manicure and pedicure before being rushed to Massachusettes General Hospital for a bad case of food poisoning.
the truth:
Carey's publicist says that Carey had hoped to perform that night
despite her illness, and so a manicurist was called up to the hotel room to help her pull herself together. Only later in the evening did the singer decide to cancel her performance and head to the hospital for treatment.
The fanbook is a place to leave messages directly to MC and Jill, you
can send in your Mariah artwork and have it displayed for everone to see (hopefully, including Mariah) Not only that but soon you'll be able to send in your pics of your total Mariah collection, wallpapered room, or anything else that shows how much of a fan you are. Then you'll be
awarded prizes accordingly. Eventually I hope to have the Review page
upin which you can choose a Mariah song, interview, video, or Concerts. So that Mariah will know how much we all care about her.
Then visit Mariahville. It's a fun collection of the best "little"
Mariah sites on the web. You can even become a town board member at the town hall. It's all placed on a cute little map to make it fun.
Of course don't forget the monthly awards ceremony. Where you could win a printable certificate for Fan of the month, or best new website.
This is only a small part of whats to come and what you can do at Fly
Forever Free Mariah. Don't forget to sign up to be on the site
"team"!!! :)

All That Glitters
Kristen tells me:
Hi Regina,
I was just watching VH1's "The List" and the subject
was best song lyrics, well it was the beginning of the
show and they were just showing clips of songs and
they showed MC's MY ALL for a pretty good while, she
wasn't picked on the List, but the people on there
always pick old people anyways!! lol! Oh yeah, this
might be a repeat and this might be old news, oh well,
I tried!
Mariahlamby (aka Danielle) told me the following:
Oh yeah, and the reason i sent this e-mail-- he he. (the subject matter); It was like the end of last month, but i remember seeing a beautiful Rainbow when i was on the way to buy Jaylan Boo(Mariah's youngest fan, in fact!) diapers at the store. What's weird about it is the fact that it hadn't even rained that day! Well, I saw it before I went into the store, but when i came back out, it was gone! It's almost like it was only meant for a true Mariah fan to see that day :))
"D" told me you can see both formats of Mariah's Theme, Dreamlover in Hawaii, AAO and more at the following link:

Marc told me that MC is mentioned in the latest JET Magazine. It says that TGIFY was #1 in the Top Singles Page. Bizarre, huh? Also, Marc told me he has some REALLY rare pics in his pics page on his sites. They are mainly through galleries 1-8. If you are a picture freak like me, check it out :)
Mariah Dreams of Butterflies
July 19, 2000...
New Pics
I updated Gallery 32 today. Art sent me the scans of the 8 stickers that he got from Toys R Us. He told me that they come in a pack of 4 and there are two packs. Each pack cost $1.99. asterick_1@yahoo.com (D L) sent me some nice pics from the Today Show a while back and also, a classic nice pic of MC. She sent me two more from the Today Show, which I didn't add cause I couldn't get them to open in Paint Shop Pro. I'll try and have the other two for you tomorrow! Also, there is a picture that I got from my Mariah4 buddy Anderz, which is a picture of MC in Toronto walking on the streets! It's nice, so please check it out if you like! Finally, Dennis sent me a CLASSIC pic of MC getting her hair done from the Fantasy shoot. Check all pics out in Gallery 32! Thanks to everyone for sending them in!
Lisa told me the following:
I've been out of town for a few days, so I'm not sure if anyone sent this to you, but here it is anyways.
In Soap Opera Digest they have a question section and the question was, "I recently saw Mariah carey's Honey for the 100th time. But the last time I thought I saw David Fumero (Cristian, One Life To Live) frolicking with her on the beach. Was that him?"
The answer, "It sure was! As Fumero told Digest in September 1998," Mariah wasn't what I expected...I thought there was going to be a little arrogance. But she was really great, really normal."
Okay, I got this next information from Sarah's Mariah Carey Newsletter, which you can all join by sending hre an e-mail to:
MaRiAhC2oo2@aol.com
She asks the makers of the nailpolish Satin Doll, where she can get it since her idol, Mariah Carey, loves this color. Their response was:
Dear Ms. Brown,
Thank you very much for your email. I will pass it on to Deborah.
One of the colors that Deborah has created for Mariah is called SATIN DOLL. Mariah first wore that when she sang on the 1999 Oscars Ceremony. Mariah even asked us to sell SATIN DOLL on her last tour. SATIN DOLL is available on our web site now.
Other colors Deborah has designed will be added to the web site each season. Keep checking back with us.

Carey Situation
Mariah Carey's chart flop may signal big changes for
her career. EW.com tells you what went wrong, and what her next move could be
by Craig Seymour
It's no fantasy: Mariah Carey's current single, ''Can't Take That Away (Mariah's
Theme)'' -- now clinging to
the No. 77 spot on Billboard's
pop chart -- is the lowest-charting commercial single of her
decade-long career. The
ballad's poor performance
comes at a time of increased
tension between Carey and
her record label Columbia,
which is overseen by her ex-husband, Sony Music CEO
Tommy Mottola. What's more, Carey, who owes
Columbia only one more album on her contract, is
rumored to be in talks with the new and still unnamed
label helmed by ousted Arista Records president Clive
Davis.
Though Carey's publicist didn't return phone calls by press time, the singer herself has been airing her complaints (via her Columbia-sponsored website) about the label's lack of support for the single, which peaked five weeks ago at No. 28. ''The politicalsituation in my professional career is not stellar,'' she said in a May audio post. ''I'm getting a lot of negative feedback from certain corporate people.''
Mariah didn't name names, but her dissatisfaction may
be what's leading her to shop her talents elsewhere.
And Davis, who discovered Whitney Houston and
recently masterminded her comeback hit ''My Love Is
Your Love,'' could be just the person Carey needs to
help her regroup after ''Can't'''s flop.
So what happened? Unlike most of her other hits,
''Can't'' received almost no play on Top 40 radio. Even
''Can't'''s B side, ''Crybaby,'' which features a rap cameo by Snoop Dogg, got more on-air spins.
'''Crybaby' was getting some airplay at R&B stations,''
says Silvio Pietroluongo, chart manager at Billboard
magazine. ''But 'Mariah's Theme' wasn't getting played
much anywhere.''
Part of the problem is that with jangly rock (Vertical
Horizon, Nine Days) and spunky teen pop ('N Sync,
Britney Spears) ruling the top 40 terrain, radio
programmers are cutting back on slow tunes -- no
matter who the artist is. ''Even Christina Aguilera's
ballad [''I Turn to You''] wasn't a big radio record,''
explains John Ivey, music director at Boston's KISS 108.
But some industry observers say that Carey's
continued forays into hip hop and R&B may be
alienating Top 40 listeners. ''This album [''Rainbow'']
hasn't yielded any big pop hits in terms of airplay,''
says Ivey. ''[That's] Because she's working with a lot of
urban producers and rappers.'' Adds Harry Legg, music
director of Chicago's pop station KISS FM: ''We don't
see our audience begging for Mariah.''
This resistance from radio comes at a pivotal point in Carey's career -- just as she's about to branch out into
movies with a starring role in ''All That Glitters,'' which
begins filming July 24 in New York City. Carey has
already recorded songs for this semiautobiographical
tale, and once she delivers the soundtrack, she'll be
free to sign with a new label. If anyone can help her
combine a future film career with a return to the pop
charts, it's Davis, who has navigated the same waters
with Houston. So will he be Mariah's new hero? An
announcement is expected within the next two weeks.
When she sent me the above e-mail about the EW article, I also got her opinion on it and here it is:
I agree that a big part of the problem is due to radio's current obsession with anything upbeat (esp. from any boy/girl band or teen female singer). I mean, even Celine Dion released an uptemo song for the first time in who knows how long rather than one of her standard ballads. But I disagree somewhat with Mariah's demand going down. I'm sure it has a little bit since she's been out for 10 years, but I think it's more that the demand for artists like the Britneys or the 'N Syncs are a lot higher than veterans like Mariah (unless you stage a Santana-like comeback). As for the "alienating listeners" theory, it may have some merit, but it's the fault of formatted radio, not Mariah's. It used to be that when you've reached a certain level of success, radio just played anything with the artist's name on it because it was almost certain that it would do well. Now, formatted radio has reached the point where it has to be CLEARLY pop or CLEARLY R&B for the respective stations to play it and, for the most part, Mariah's stuff isn't clearly one or the other.
A lot of you are continuing to send in your e-mails saying that you will support Mariah and help her out on the Billboard Charts. We are asking all Mariah fans to buy at least one more copy of Rainbow in the week of July 25th-August 1st to help with her sales of Rainbow, so it doesn't fly off Billboard with the lowest weeks on the charts ever for a MC album. Please help out! Thanks to Diana and Ramsey, who wrote in a said they would buy it!
Justin has a new site opening in about a week or two and there will be updated news, pics, polls and much more.

My VERY good buddy Nini e-mailed me the article from TV Guide! Thanks Nini :)
Mariah to Glitter On- and Off-screen
She’s not only starring in the film, Mariah Carey is
also composing the music for the upcoming All That
Glitters — even before a single frame has been shot.
"The reason we started working on the soundtrack first
is because certain scenes are going to be based around
these songs," says Carey, who actually penned last
year’s hit single "Heartbreaker" for the movie before
jetting off to Capri, Italy, to record the rest of the
tracks. In the film, directed by Vondie Curtis-Hall
(formerly Dr. Dennis Hancock on Chicago Hope), Carey
plays a young singer striving to make it in show
business. No release date has been set yet for the
film.
My other GOOD buddy Mark sent me some information from Holland. Here are some magazines that you can find the lovely Mariah in:
- Star Club (France)....The July Issue.....They have a Poster on Mariah...the Jet cover from last year.
- Salut (France)....The July Issue....They have a piece with Joe and he talks a bit about Mariah as well.
- National Enquirer (US)....The July 25th Issue....The story about this seabird.
- Semana (Spain)...The July 19th Issue....It contains just a little picture in a sort of puzzle.
Well not exactly! CryBaby4uMC2000 told me that Carson Daly, from TRL, was a guest yesterday. He brought Kathy Lee some Popular Female Artists that he deals with on TRL and Mariah's CD was the 2nd from the bottom.
Today (early in the mornign), my dad drove me to the college I'm gonna be in this year (I had this meeting) and I turned on the car radio and the woman says Rainbow... I was like 'what???' and then comes AAO, it was so cool!!!! I just turned on the radio and there it was =) it was the end of a special or something... I missed like all of it but it was cool anyway! Too bad I have to go there again tomorrow coz they changed the meeting. btw, Crybaby is the video of the week in Puma TV (music channel) in my country, Venezuela, ain't that cool?
Hello i heard mariah on my 2nd favorite radio station Hoosier Hot 96.3 it was the fantasy remix and i was like ya baby!
Hey Regina! Well, I guess you'd classify this under do
you hear what I hear. Well, I just wanted to tell
everyone what happened to me. Last night I had this
dream and I don't remember at all what the dream was
about. The only thing I can remember was that, in the
dream, I could hear "Hero" playing! Isn't that cool?
And then right before the dream ended some other
Mariah song started playing. It might have been
"X-Girlfriend" but I'm not sure. Also, today I was at
the county fair by where I live and there was this
booth where they were selling t-shirts with all
different singers on them and they were selling Mariah
shirts! It was white and had the picture of her that's
on the back of the "Butterfly" album on the front and
it said Mariah Carey on it. Cool, huh? =)
Hi Regina ,
Another good news , just about two hours ago , I heard Thank God I Found You was played on Radio 4 again , a Malaysian radio station . YES !!! Thanks !
I was at work yesterday from 1-9 pm and I heard One Sweet Day, I Still Believe and Can't Let Go. Made working a lot easier and more enjoyable and I got a lot of looks from customers who saw me singing to it. Ha ha!
Hi, Regina! Yesterday I was @
K-Mart and I was going to buy this beautiful poster of a unicorn in front of a waterfall and a rainbow in the background that immediately reminded me of CTTA!
At that moment, they started playing "Fantasy" on the radio. It was so cool.
I was in Sam Goody in the mall and my friend and I got there before it opened and the first song they played was "Heartbreaker" and right after that they played "CTTA". I was so happy they played them both right after eachother!
Hi this is Laura from Charlotte,Nc.I just wanted to say I was up spiraling myself about 4am and believe it or not I saw Cant Take That Away.It was on MTV and it was very inspirational.If only children could watch this stuff more than say Kid Rock?
Well, as I said yesterday I would be e-mailing Jill, Marah's Personal Assistance, asking her if it was true about Mariah covering "Burning Up," by Madonna. She wrote me back saying that she couldn't give any information about the soundtrack out but I should know how rumors fly. So what does that mean? I don't know and neither do you! Ha ha, guess we will just have to wait and see what happens!!! But, I think if it was completly untrue, she would of said, "NO!"
Tom reminded me of something, the MTV Video Awards nominees should be announces in July right? Tom told me that so far nothing has been announced but he should be soon. Mariah better get a few nominations cause she deserves it. She even asked for one in the Making the Video of Heartbreaker! If anyone find out more information, please let me know ASAP!
Gary told me this a while back and I was a fool and forgot to add it to the website. He was watching the San Jose Bootleg Video, which is stellar, and he looked outside and a Rainbow started with Petals and ended after Rainbow/Hero. He ran and got his camera and took a LOVELY picture of it! You can see the 2nd rainbow right above the
tallest tree on the right of the photo. He told me it was beautiful, and surely it couldn't be a coincidence, right? It was an amazing moment for Gary!! I wish I could see a Rainbow! Oh well, check out his stellar picture below:
Brittany entered the contest where you can descrive what you would do with MC if you could hang with her for one day and she got a reply saying that she is one of the finalist! Did anyone else get one? I didn't :( Oh pooh! Here's hoping Brittany wins!
Kristen told me she was listening to some of the Hollywoods Hamilton's countdown and Joe was on the phone from Japam. He said it was cool working with Mariah.
Well Kristen refuses to give up and continues to e-mails the DJ's. Here is what she told me:
I received some more replies from djs. Joe Chille from 96.1 WJYE said that he's working on getting the song CTTA played. I guess that's good news. This other station I e-mailed (I forgot what station it was) replied and they said they never even heard of the songs CTTA or Crybaby, but they'd ask the label for a copy. Ask Sony for a copy? Hmmm...I wonder if they'll give it to them.
My good buddy Mark also told me that there was a Tina concert that was broadcasted in Holland yesterday. There were parts where famous people could say something about Tina and then they showed Mariah saying:
Tina was a big example for
