"What's up street team, I just want to thank you for all you've done to support me and the new album, it means so much to me and your efforts really really do make a difference."

WiseGirls DVD?
Zac was checking out Tower Records website and noticed that they had a WiseGirls DVD listed. When he clicked on it said...

TTR Cancelled
Chris works at Trans World Entertainment and heard that the single for Through The Rain has been cancelled. The singles rep in Albany NY confirmed this information and said the singles success will depend solely on radio airplay. Plus, Jenn works at FYE and got an e-mail yesterday saying the same thing. I have no idea why the single has been cancelled, especially since the fans always buy a ton of her singles and help her out majorly on the charts. I guess they know what they are doing though!

Meet & Greet Review From LA
Here is what MBeeHny sent me:
Wow, the meeting was great! I won the contest through the Mariah Online Team. You know Cindy, the girl who sends out the e-mails for the team? Well, I saw her there and she was saying hi to every1. That was the only Meet & Greet she was able to attend. OKay, so thank God we got there on time 'cause we were getting kinda lost, but we figured it out. My aunt went, my mom, my cousin as my guest, and my sister. You know what? They let every1 with me inside! I asked if my sis can come in with me and my cousin but they said no 'cause I could only bring in a guest, but after everybody on the list got in, I don't know why, but they let them in anyway. I was really excited. We waited there for so long and my legs and feet were starting to hurt but it was defenitely worth it! Okay, so they played some Mariah classics at first over and over again for like 2 hours. There was a camera man shooting us, but I don't know what channel we were gonna be on, or whatever. I overheard him say that it he was taking some footage, and of course I was showing my Mariah Rainbow Flat that I had taken to get signed. I gave my little sis my Greatest Hits booklet for her to get signed because she was going in to meet her as well, since they let her in as well. So then, yeah, Da Brat comes out and asks, who are we here to see and every1 screams, "Mariah!" so she introduces the first new song, and it was "Oh Boy" it was a real R&B song with a sample of another song that had come out from a rap artist I think, so that one was really a bouncin' kinda song, and Wow, the speakers were really loud, louder than when they played "Mariah Classics". Her voice sounds really "Rich" on these new songs. I'm sure Da Brat looked at me when she was talking to every1. Da Brat looks really pretty in person. After that, Da Brat comes out again and introduces the 2nd song around. The title is: "My Saving Grace" I think this has to be on of my favorites since I love Mariah gospel type songs. It is emotional, and beautiful. Da Brat said that, that one was produced by Randy Jackson, and she was saying, you know that big fat guy from American Idol.. something like that and every1 laughed, then she introduced the last song, "The One".. which was an emotional one as well, and I think it was a song towards Luis Miguel. I don't know, maybe there's others which make us think that it's towards him, but only Mariah knows for now.

OKay, so finally Mariah comes out, Da Brat introduced her, and she went out giving the audience her hand.. I unfortunately didn't touch her hand because people were pushing and you know how people get so out of control when the star comes out. So then, every1 went to get in line and I guess there were 2 lines to get into, I was at the right and was one of the first people to get an autograph since my mom was pushing me to get in line! LOL ....So then, I got to meet Mariah, but I was still in awe, or like I couldn't believe I was there, somebody had to pinch me or something, so Mariah said hi, and I gave her my Rainbow flat to sign. and I put my arm around her too, so I got my picture taken with her. I said thanks and left. OMG! and there was one important thing I forgot to do, give her my gift ...I couldn't believe I forgot. So, then I tried to go back, since people were still getting their stuff signed, and Mariah was busy with them. I told my sis to go with me, so she asked a lady that was like a security and she asked if she could take my gift to give to Mariah, and she took it and gave it to one of Mariah's guards, and he put it on Mariah's couch. My gift is a like stuffed lamb, holding a baby lamb.... with a prayer written on it. I thought it was really cute, and I've been saving it for so long to give to Mariah 'cause I knew I was gonna meet her someday. Mariah was wearing nice jean pants with a butterfly belt and a mid-sleeve black shirt. Some of her hair was tied back with twisties or braids. I couldn't really tell but it was long and curly. The weird thing is, I thought I was gonna be nervous, but I wasn't, I just felt happy. But I was shy to really say something to Mariah. Next time, I won't be! Since I was one of the first people I thought It would have to be really quick since her security people were around her, and yeah, the first people that went up were fast. Then I went back to look at Mariah singing stuff and she was singing her songs while signing. It was cute. She looked so generous, and loving. She really does look more beautiful in person. They gave out autographed Through The Rain pictures. Then Mariah had to leave. I was expecting the Q&A, but I guess she really had to leave. When she was leaving she was still siging autographs on her way and greeting fans, and this is my favorite part while she was leaving.......

She was on her way to leave, but then she stopped. She stopped right in front of me! That was my moment, heheh. So she stopped and told everyone that she's gotta hear all of us sing this song which was playing "Heartbreaker" before she leaves. So every1 started singing the chorus and she left saying goodbye to every1. I must mention, that before leaving somebody asked her to do a highnote. I was close to her, so I could here it clearly, and I was so happy to hear a high note live, 'cause I've never heard her do it before since I've never met her or gone to a concert. After she did it, she said that it wasn't one of her best ones. Overall, it was a great experience... and this won't be the last time I'll meet her. I met some nice fans too. You could tell that she appreciates all the love from her true fans, and I would just like to say Thanks Mariah for making my dream come true!

Not So Nice Review
Mariahtx01 sent me a review that was in the Washington Post that wasn't too nice to Mariah about last nights BET event. If you would like to send your personal opinion to the writer (please don't be rude) you can do so by clicking here.

He then introduced pop diva Carey, who chose a low-cut, ankle-length black dress for the occasion. Curiosity was high, given this was one of the first peeks at the "Glitter" star since she had a breakdown and received a reported $28 million contract buyout from Virgin Records. She's hard at work on her new album, but her voice was so hoarse during her rendition of "You and I" that it was impossible to gauge her comeback.

"Hi... hey lambs, I know it's been a long time since I left a nice message 'cause I've been working hard to finish the album and... it's done and my credits are done and I'm so happy and... hum... I wanted to say that... hum... everybody I have been meeting at all the fan events around the country, you guys are stellar, I love you... and you gave me the best books and... you know toys and Hello Kitty stuffs, lambs and everything has been really really great and I just enjoyed you much, alrighty? And I love you much and I can't wait for you guys to hear the whole album 'cause it's my favorite definitely since Butterfly and... hum... I just want to say thanks again to everybody for being here, for your support and for being here for... hum... Through The Rain and everything else, so... I... will talk to you soon and I hope you like the nice... video and... hum... I will be leaving you another message shortly, bah-byyye!"

IDJ'S NEW, IMPROVED MARIAH
How do you follow a public breakdown, a disastrous album and movie, then getting unceremoniously dropped by your record conglomerate? If you're Mariah Carey, you get right back out there and press the flesh.

After inking a reported three-album, $20 million deal with UMG's Island Def Jam Records last January for her own MonarC imprint—on the heels of EMI paying her $30 million to get out of its own $80 million, four-album contract—Carey isn't wasting any time mourning her Glitter meltdown.

IDJ's promotional/marketing campaign for the new album, Charmbracelet, which comes out Dec. 3, has centered on "humanizing" and creating sympathy for Carey. In a series of intimate meet-and-greets around the country, the label has encouraged her to get up close and personal with not only radio programmers and members of the media, but especially the superstar's devoted following.

The label is committed to being patient with the first single, "Through the Rain," willing to wait until the December blitz of TV appearances kicks in. IDJ's Lyor Cohen told the L.A. Times he wants to "methodically penetrate and gain traction"—in the marketplace, that is. With the record. We think.

IDJ Sr. VP Promotion Ken Lane says Carey's promo blitz has already helped the record with programmers: "When Lyor first mentioned to me we were going to sign Mariah, I immediately started thinking about ways to reintroduce her to radio. We organized dinners with radio programmers in small intimate settings of 40 to 50 people, where she could spend an hour, just be herself and get people feeling they made a new friend."

The sweeping, epic ballad focuses on Carey's patented vocal prowess rather than the hip-hop street cred she's sought in the past. The Dave Meyers-directed video, which features a cameo by The Sopranos' Jamie Lynn-Sigler and The Wire's JD Williams, has already hit #2 on MTV's TRL.

But it's the personal approach that seems to have been most effective in "reintroducing" Carey to the public.

Added Lane: "I really feel that a lot of these individuals who had preconceived notions about Mariah didn't get a chance to delve as deeply in conservation, and that meant all the difference in the world. People were hugging and kissing her, clamoring to take pictures."

The gatherings, held in Boston, New York, Miami, Dallas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Minneapolis and Atlanta, energized the radio community. Since the single's Oct. 1 impact date, it's been added to more than 100 Pop stations, with Top Five phones from Z100 N.Y., KIIS L.A., Y100 Miami, KISS 108 Boston, KRBE Houston and 92 PRO Providence, among others.

Among the promotion/marketing/publicity initiatives are:
A VIP listening party at New York's Hayden Planetarium.
TV appearances on Oprah (12/3), The Today Show (12/10-11), an MTV special (12/3), BET's Stevie Wonder tribute and Turnstyle (TBA).
Coverage of video shoot on Access Hollywood, Extra!, MTV News
Covers of Blender (Dec.), Allure (Dec.), Us Weekly, Latina magazine
Features in USA Today, N.Y. Times.
Single made available simultaneously on 25 websites, including all of MTV's online brands and BET.com (9/25).

About: (#023) Celebrity Oops: What Were They Thinking
Host Brooke Burke takes a look at a few of the misjudged moments by today's famous faces and dares to ask the question "What were they thinking?!" From Mariah Carey and Anne Heche's "breakdown" performances, to Hugh Grant's late night trick-or-treating on Hollywood Boulevard to Michael Jackson's journey from Neverland to la-la land, we're talking about the celebs that have sometimes made a mark by missing their mark.

OK, so I know it's 12:37 am in the morning (10-16-02), but my dad and I just got back from chicago I got in my dorm room around 11 pm and showed people my stuff and..so I'm just now typing this out

We arrived at Fulton Lounge about 8:30 and I got too meet some wonderful lambs, Tessa, Vijay, and Julie . Anyway we chatted a little and then they let us in around 9:05 or so and we were like one of the first fans in there, and surprisingly security wasn't too bad They do tell you to NOT bring cameras in, and you could either go back to your car OR leave them in a box by the door at your own risk !! And Julie said "Oh..camera day" When we walked in the lounge there was mariah promo stuff everywhere. In the back was a table of snacks, finger-foods, and drinks

Since no one was hardly in there yet, we had a pretty good selection of where to sit and I told my dad "Let's sit over here" (by M's couch)...and so we were REALLY close to her when she came in !! Anyway, they didn't play any mariah music till about 30 minutes before she got there Tessa and I were getting upset I told Tessa that someone needed to morph into Bianca and rasie hell.

And I believe once they started playing her music it was the Greatest Hits CD They started with "Vision Of Love" and around "Endless Love" they stopped it and started playing "Through the Rain".....

Surprisingly they did not pass out "Through The Rain" postcards or the autographed 8x10 pictures....but I ended up getting TWO postcards from Liz I'll get to that later though..... Another shock was the fact that there was absolutely NO MEDIA there at all !! This was a good thing in my opinion because she got to spend it all with her fans

I am not trying to sound gripey in ANY way cause this night was AWESOME, but unfortunately the Chicago meet n greet was VERY rushed ...ok on with the story (you Dallas and Miami fans were sooooooo lucky that she did a Q&A )

there was this guy there who was flirting with all the girls..ESPECIALLY Tessa and Julie I was sitting in between them the WHOLE time, so he asked me if I was Julie's boyfriend And I told him no...so he said "get the hell outta the way then" Anyway I believe he was like the "announcer" and just getting people pumped up He was a bit drunk though I do believe and was cusssing like a sailor

So they had waiters come around and take our "drink orders" and I had a sprite ..come to think of it we ALL had sprite's I told Tessa that I did not want to drink too much and then have to go to the bathroom Oh, Tessa told us we should go to the bathrooms because they were cute and the sinks made a bowl and you had your own little room It was too cute the way she described it. My dad and I were laughing

Oh, and THEN we met Liz who works for MonarC--she is the SWEETEST!! I felt like a dumby and said "ohh you work for Def Jam?" and she was like "umm no MonarC, mariah's label" Then she told us about mariah's plane having trouble in Atlanta , and that was the main reason she was late !!

The announcer guy who was drunk kept saying Mariah's gonna be here in TWO minutes and he said this probably for a good 40 minutes at least And it was soooooooo funny because Tessa and I were like "ohh there's mariah's limo" , for some reason limos kept circling the building, I guess they were just trying to hype us up

THEN IT HAPPENED: at around 11:30 MARIAH CAME IN surrounded by her bodyguards !! We were all pretty much speechless The lambs formed a big line and then she started taking pictures and signing stuff In my opinion her bodyguards we not bad at all and were rather reserved To the ones that said they were rough ...you must have been doing something ..... ...j/k She was absolutely breath-taking--she had on blue jeans and a long sleeve sweartshirt that zipped midway down the front It was SEXY....but VERY CLASSY...she looked AMAZING!! SHE IS SOOO BEAUTIFUL IN PERSON--her pictures do not do her justice

And there was a SURPRISE GUEST: DA BRAT!! I knew she would be there cause Chicago is her home town And she was sooooo funny...acting like a tough chick and all Some fans were screaming "we love U Mariah" and Brat was like: "I LOVE U TOO" !! She even signed some stuff for Viajy and Julie!! I almost asked her too sign some of my stuff, but I wanted to save my it for Mariah Brat also introduced all the new song titles from the album At one point Brat ran RIGHT by me and I YELLED "BRAT" and she said "what's up baby?" It was cute, and Brat looked very pretty even with her BAGGY clothes ..too cute

On the subject of the new songs: I belive Brat introduced each of them as "I Only Wanted", "Oh Boy", "Clouds", "My Saving Grace", and of course "Through The Rain" Sorry I cannot remember the sixth song title The speakers were SO LOUD it was hard to understand anything mariah was singing in the songs

BUT "My Saving Grace" truely is amazing It has very POWERFUL vocals towards the end and has a gospel feel to it "I Only Wanted" is a latin love ballad (ie My All/After Tonight)

sorry I can't remember much It's hard to comment on the uptempos because it was so loud and the sound was somewhat distorted but the beats all sound BANGIN, as Jasmine would say

Julie, Tessa, Vijay, my dad, and I decided to wait till the very end to get our pictures taken---so we saw it ALL If we would have went 1st then we wouldn't have saw much, b/c her bodyguards sent you to the back of the line. My dad was the one who came up w/ the idea to wait...and I said "This is the 1st time in 19 yrs I'm taking your advice" !!

Then came our turns, we were the LAST 5-6 people to get our pics taken...and my dad kept saying "GET UP THERE NOW" b/c Mariah's bodyguards were getting ready to whisk her away !!

Ok this is something I don't like to talk about on the net b/c I don't want people to get the wrong impession ..like I'm trying to get sympathy or whatever. But I just want to make it clear that I don't feel sorry for myself--so please don't feel sorry for me...I am trying to make a point ...the question is, am I getting to it Ok I was born with a disabilty known as Cerebral Palsy and have to walk w/ crutches b/c I have no balance. It basically just affects my lower body......ok now you'll see where I'm gong w/ this......

I went before Tessa/Vijay/Julie..that was very nice of them... So it was my turn (this was around 12:15 am when I got my picture taken and met her) and the bodyguards were like freaking cause they didnt know what to do.... ....HECK I didn't know what to do. My dad was walking up behind me to let them know he was helping me.....

Ok, so I am walking up to Mariah and for some reason the first thing outta my mouth was: "Mariah, do you know who I am...I'm Shiloh." ... ...I shoulda NEVER listened to my dad ...he was like "she'll know who you are" cause I've been a fan for a decade and have written her MANY TIMES...

Anyway..she had the sweetest, yet dazed and confused look on her face like umm "not really" She never said that but I could tell she had no clue--which was FINE by me cause she has millions of fans--I didn't expect her to know me ...I just felt silly for listening to my dad.....but he didn't know, we love him My dad told me today that when I was going up to her I was SHAKING (in a good way), and that mariah said "aww come here" !! I did not remember that ...its all such a blur now

So I quickly scurried off that subject...THEN I DUNNO WHAT HAPPENED....but I became COMPLETELY AWESTRUCK.....I just basically started to tear up and then that made Mariah sad which was not my intention.... And Mariah is soooooo real with her fans, if they start to tear up she just looses it She REALLY appreciates and loves us, which makes it that much more fullfilling to be a lamb

But I think all I could say was "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH" AND "THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING"..and when I got misty eyed just for a second, that's when Mariah rushed over and just gently touched my hands !! And I aksed her to sign My Butterfly/Glitter CD's and a picture When she signed my picture we had her use a different color pen cause the picture was mostly a black background, and she WAS SO FUNNY She didnt like the pen and said "these things dont write well, but I'll do my best" IF I had been thinking w/ a level head I woulda asked her to sign them: "To Shiloh, Love Mariah" but I was sooo speechless..I just handed them to her, and she drew a heart symbol and then signed "Mariah" ...she signed bfly /Glitter like this!! Then I told her Butterfly was my fave and she said "thanks, that's mine too"...and I handed her a manilla envelope addressed from me to her and it had a letter, and a pic of me, PLUS A GIFT I asked her if she would open the gft, but she didn't have time but she said "I PROMISE I WILL OPEN IT LATER...I've got all the gifts back here" (I bought her a 14 Karot Gold butterfly charm and 14 Karot Gold neclace to go w/ the cham...I blieve I showed them to Tessa earlier in the evening!!).

All I could keep saying was I LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU and she said "I LOVE U TOO!!" Then came time for the picture !! SHE PUT HER ARM ON MY SHOULDER AND WE TOOK THE PIC !! I was sooooooooooo afraid I would blink b/c I am a blinker but I didn't!! And then I was about ready to walk away after I said I love you once more and the camera man was like "WAIT...we have to take it again..it didnt come out"....so I GOT TO RESHOOT the pic w/ mariah!! And it was soo hilarious b/c the second time she was trying to re-position her foot and she barely tapped my crutch...and she freaked out ...she said "I am soooo sorry" !! and I said "it's OK..." .....she coulda knocked me down and I woulda been like "Do it again" ...she is the BEST!!

So then I walked off and it was my dad's turn and OMG!! ! My dad told me what he said to her!! He was like "you're an amazingly special person...thank you, you just made his dream come true!!" !! Then he asked her to sign a couple pics of he and I together and one of them was for our Uncle Johnny, and he explained how it was b/c of him letting us borrow his van that we were up here, and mariah said "WOW!! WE have to thank him then!!" so she signed a pic to uncle johnny Then my dad had her sign a pic of he and I together and she wrote: "To Tim & Shiloh, love Mariah" And she asked my dad how to spell my name--awwww!!! Then my dad asked her to PLEEASE take the time to read my letter and open her gift from me and she promised she would!! As he was walking away--she REACHED OUT and SHOOK MY DAD'S HAND !!!!

then Vijay and the others were up next and after that it was over and mariah was bieng whisked away and I yelled "MARIAH!! WILL U SIGN THIS???!"--it was my Glitter movie poster and she was sooooooo kind--she looked right at me and said "I'll do my best--but these pens are not the greatest" and then they took her though the crowd and she left ...or so we thought!! We later found out that she was downstairs getting ready to leave but no one knew it!!

Most of the fans thought she was gone (including myself) so we never went outside. BUT @ the end we talked to Liz again and I asked her to pleeeease remind mariah about me and the gift I had gotten her and she said she would ...then she gave us two autographed mariah TTR post cards.

I wanted to stay a bit longer to keep listening to the new material so we did and we walked over to the snacks and then while we were eating, we saw this guy just walk out w/ TWO HUGE promo boards (the one pic of M in the dress by the tress, and the other board had TTR written on it).....so that like ticked my dad off and he said "ok, follow my lead" and he also took TWO MORE DOWN and put them back to back (like the other guy did) and he was like "Get up when I tell you too" !! and I was like "what the heck are you doing, we'll NEVER get away w/ this!!" We just got lucky cause they were WAY in the BACK of the club and mariah's entourage just forgot them I guess..... and WE DID get away w/ it !! We just walked right out of the club w/ two BIG PROMO BOARDS !! !!

Overall it was a wonderful night and I'll cherish it forever I just wish it wasnt as rushed but OMG I MET MARIAH and some wonderful lambs in the process!! It was a TERRIFIC night and I PROMISE I WILL HAVE SCANS UP ASAP..I have to find someone w/ a scanner first. I probably wont scan my CD's, poster, or 8x10 cause they either have a heart and then mariah, or just mariah....and you guys have seen her autograph a thousand times..BUT I WILL SCAN OUR TWO PICS of me and my dad, and the two pics she signed for my dad!! I can't believe it, I MET MARIAH CAREY in the flesh !! Now I can die happily My love for her has now QUADROUPLED !! She is soooo AMAZING, and I'll love her forever!!

Mariah Carey Replies To Rumours
NEW YORK (AP) - Mariah Carey insists she sips her soda just like the rest of us, according to a published report.

The singer told the New York Post she takes exception to rumours that one of the members of her entourage has the job of tasting her food and wipes down her cans of soda with disinfectant before they're opened up.

A stern "Please," was Carey's reaction to the rumour. She said although she is careful among germs to protect her voice, she doesn't "care that much." Carey said she opens her own soda and drinks it with a straw.

Meanwhile, the singer hints she's looking for love.

At a listening party for her new album "Charmbracelet," Carey mentioned to reporters that while she's solo these days, she is definitely looking for a man.

But that man probably won't be rapper Eminem. One of the songs on the new album seems to be directed at the rapper. In June, Eminem told Rolling Stone magazine that he and Carey had dated briefly and that he didn't care for the experience. "Don't believe the hype," he told the magazine. He also added that Carey "doesn't really have it all together."

But Carey gets back at Eminem in the song "Clown." The lyrics read in part: "You should have never intimated we were lovers. I gotta break it to you delicately -- who's gonna love you when it's over? Who's gonna care?"

Carey doesn't acknowledge she wrote the song as a response to Eminem. She only says she "wrote all the songs except for one or two."

Mariah: Who Cares About Eminem
Mariah Carey has not only bounced back from her rough year, but she also gets even with Eminem on her new album, "Charmbracelet," reports The New York Post.

Eminem had ripped her in Rolling Stone magazine in June. After noting the two had dated briefly, the rapper said, "On the whole personal level, I'm not really feeling it. I just don't like her as a person. I learned a lesson from it: Don't believe the hype. . . . She doesn't really have it all together."

In the song "Clown," Mariah sings: "You should have never intimated we were lovers. I gotta break it to you delicately - who's gonna love you when it's over? Who's gonna care?"

Did Carey write the lyrics?

"I wrote all the songs except for one or two," she slyly told The Post.

Asked if she was dating, Mariah replied, "I'm not with anyone right now - got someone?"

Also, Mariah is in a brand new magazine called "Weekly In Touch." It's the November 4th issue and I added the scan to Gallery 8. Since it's a new magazine, it is only $1 this week, so check it out if you like.

Tiff saw Mariah at the Seventeen event and sent me her picture that she got with M. Here is what she told me...

Just wanted to let you know that I went to the New Star Showcase last night and the show was pretty good. Isabel is going to be a huge star, what a great singer! We only went to see Mariah and Isabel so once they were done, a friend and I made our way toward the door and just as we were figuring out what to do, Mariah walked in! She was leaving through the front door!!! Anyway, she stopped for some pictures but her people were trying to get her to leave. She told them that if they were going to make her leave, they better explain why to all her fans. They told everyone that she had an interview to go to and she posed for a few more pictures, signed some autographs and left. She looked so beautiful and was so nice. I am so glad that I went!!!

Finally, someone who I will call "IamJ" sent me some scans of pics that were taken at the LA Meet & Greet. You gotta love the one of Mariah on the cell phone.

Seveenteen Story
RaInBoWbAbE143 saw Mariah Friday night also and here is the story...
I got tickets for the Seventeen Star Showcase event just because Mariah was appearing there...My boyfriend, Mike, and I got to Roseland around 5:30PM, and already the line was wrapped around the building. I was really upset because I wanted to see Mariah upclose, but realized that the venue being so intimate, it didn't matter. As soon as the "Through The Rain" video started, Mike put me up on his shoulders and I took pictures and then finished the whole roll when she came out at the end. I cried the whole time! Right after she left the stage, Mike and I left the building and found people waiting outside for Mariah saying she was going to come out! I had brought a Taiwanese Glitter catalogue, the eyes closed Butterfly album, and Reflections Japanese single for her to sign in case I ended up getting to see her. When she came out, everyone yelled "OKEY DOKEY SMOKEY!" and she laughed and seemed really amused by it. Mike handed her my Glitter catalogue and she looked at it like thinking, "What the hell is this?". Haha...I was just standing there crying like a moron, but then I came back to life and chased her limo down the block and got to touch her hand because she was talking to these other 2 girls that got there before me and the light was about to change. This was my fifth time getting to see her and hopefully I'll get to see her at TRL and Jingle Ball!! Go Mariah!

Meet & Greet In Miami
. But I had the best time at the meet & greet. So off we went . We were on the road. And we finally reached N. Miami, and were minutes away from the studio. My dad said ,"Eddy, can you get out those directions now ?" So I got them out and directed my dad where to go. And we were about fifteen seconds away and my dad says ,"I think this is a scam. Because I don't remember a studio being back here ." And then fifteen seconds later we see the crowd of people awaiting to get in the studio. Soon after we got out of the car and grabbed our stuff and headed towards the studio and waited like all the other anticipated fans. Then they finally started letting people in around 9:00pm.Five by five people went in as they got a wrist band around their wrists. Then they would check to see if you were on the list. Then security checked for any cameras, tape devices, or any other mechanical devices with this metal detector. Then we were admitted in to join the other fans that were already checked in. I walked in and it was the prettiest room I'd ever seen. I looked up at the roof and there were yellow and white parachutes hanging from the room with the lights dangling with this beautiful covering around them. Then I looked to the back of the room and there awaiting us was drinks, food, and the works. So knowing me I scarfed down. I even keeped my two water bottles from the meet & greet. They sit on my dresser still. Soon I got a seat and my dad joined me. I looked to the front of the room and that was the most spectacular view I'd ever seen. It was defiantly a Mariah theme. There was a couch and infront of the couch was a beautiful antic table that had sunflowers on them. And then beside the couch was another table a duplicate of the other, but smaller. And on the smaller table was a decorated cup with red, black, and green that were permanent markers for her to sign with. And beside the cup was this vase with 2' sunflowers in this vase. Even bigger than the other sunflowers. And there was also another duplicate couch only a lot smaller only for one person to sit in. And when you looked right there was a Mariah banner. It said ,"Mariah Carry [in the middle) , and below said ," Through The Rain ," and it was white and the font color was this light blue. And behind it they had the sound system. And they played music until Mariah Carey arrived. And on the walls were a picture of Mariah and below it said the same as it did on the Mariah Banner. Then they had the actual banner on every other picture. That's the full description of the room. There we would all wait for Mariah for two hours. We were all there at 9:30pm and she didn't arrive till 11:30pm.But it was so much worth the waite.Before she came though her body guard said to clear the chairs. Because Mariah wants you all around the couch instead of in your chairs. Mariah has just left her hotel from S. Miami Beach. Then you could hear everyone yelling "Mariah". . . And then my new friend asked me for gum. And I said I have none. But, know who does have gum. So I walked towards the door where this kid was who had gum. And when I asked him the door opens and Mariah just walks in and heads for the couch. She acted like she was one of the crowd. Only right when she came in everybody yelled Mariah. You could hear people say ,"Oh my God . . . It's really Mariah ." There Mariah sat on the couch and awaited for her professional photographer to set up. Then one by one people got to go up to her to take a picture with her. They would hand her gifts they got her. Talked to her for a bit.Then took a picture with her. One by one they went as it drew nearer for me to meet her. And finally my turn came. And I said ,"Mariah can you sign these for me after we take the PIC, "And she takes the CD's from me and says, "why not now?" So she then signed the CD's for me. Then I handed her the card I bought her. Then she said ,"Thank you so much. Then we looked to the camera and took our picture together. She leaned close to me and touched my shoulder. And I put my hand around her waist and took the PIC. Immediately after the body guards took my hand off her. Then one of the body guards handed me a post card and Mariah signed it. Then they handed me a Mariah frame for the picture to go in. Then I took the picture we took and awaited for the picture to come out. It was polariod so you had to wait for it to turn out. Then after the pictures Mariah said ,"Now everyone draw nearer to the couch. I'm gonna sign anything you want me to and you guys can ask me questions. Then I sat nearest to the couch towards her right. And this girl said ,"Mariah can I sing to you, "And Mariah replied, "of course you can. Can you guys turn down the music so I can hear her? "Then she started to sing and started crying because she was so nervous to sing infront of Mariah. Then this other girl sang for her "Hero" and Mariah was in awe and said, "you need to be on that new TV show "American Idol" -don't you think? "And Mariah said, "I've actually never even seen an episode, but Randy Jackson one of the judges that was on the show called her and told her about it ."Mariah said she used to introduce Randy as one of Michael Jackson's siblings. And everyone would believe her. Then Mariah said ,"Isn't it hot in here? Can I get a glass of water, please?"And I told myself Mariah your the biggest recording artist of all time? You can have anything you want." Then the time came and I got the nerve to ask her ,"Mariah why do butterflies mean so much to you ?" And she answered me and thought I was talking about the Butterfly CD. And then she said ,"Sorry! I thought you were talking about the cd. Well, really I love butterflies because back in 1997 I was going through a lot of changes in my life. And like a butterfly evolves and changes from a caterpillar into a cocoon then into a butterfly I felt I was making changes like that and like the caterpillar evolves into a butterfly and is free . . .I felt I was finally free. Does that make sense?"And the whole time she was answering my question she was looking me right in the eye? It was unbelievable the biggest Diva talking to me. I had to pinch my self and say ,"Is this real ?"WOW! Then time went on and it drew close to 1:30am.Then they said you have only two more questions/autographs. Then security walked in the room and gathered around Mariah Carey .Her three body guards drew close to her. Then as she left I almost got to touch her again and yelled out ,"BYE MARIAH ,"It was so sad when she left. When she left they put her in a waiting room. Then let all of us out to go home. Then as I was walking out I asked one of the guys if I could take one of the banner posters home. And he told me they were going to use it for the next meet & greet. Then I was like well it was worth the time asking. Then I walked out with my dad to the car and got in. We waited for people to leave. Then there was these two security cars around the limo where Mariah would depart from the building and go back to her hotel. She couldn't sing for us because she still had to record another song for her new album due out December 10th. She said that today is suppost to be a vocal rest day for me. And plus tomorrow is my last day in Miami, FL and all day tomorrow I am recording this new song. And if I don't get it done today I can't put it on the new CD. Then she left . . . That's what happened the full nite.

MTV, unplugged television special - Amanda H.
First of all.....anytime I ever get to hear that VOICE in person, I feel incredibly BLESSED. I am a music teacher and singer, and her voice speaks to me on such a deep level, that I am truly truly grateful to be able to listen to and absorb her musical sounds that I have come to love and revere over the years.

Regina, Liron, Anderz, Melissa and I, were all in the VIP section before and after the performance. Her singing was incredible as always, and the new pieces were fabulous. I am so excited for the new album, I can hardly stand it! We waited around for what seemed like forever, but then Mariah's lovely and sweet manager came up to us and asked about how we have all formed these international friendships through mariahdaily.com, mariahcarey.com, mariahbuzz.com, and the friends of mariah message board. So she then invited us to "interview with Mariah" for the MTV special. They escorted us in...and after Mariah took a little break, she came in and sat with us. This was the third time I have had the privilege of meeting Mariah. She is always so gracious and kind. It was actually very calm and quiet and peaceful...almost too reverent! We introduced ourselves, and where we were from, and how we had met all of the other fans who were there with us. It was great fun!

Then before we took pictures, I was able to tell Mariah a funny story about the kindergarteners I teach, and how we play dancing games with "someday". She laughed and told me later that "it was such a cute story". I told her I was "training them young!" I took a picture with her, and then after she signed about a million items for us, it was time go. What an incredible and wonderful night!

Thank Mariah, thank you Maroon and MonarC!
I am so thankful for this opportunity, and I am so proud to be a devoted Mariah fan!
Amanda - New York

Bringin' On The Heartbreak
Kodi sent me the lyrics to the Def Leppard song Mariah is covering for Charmbracelet called "Bringin' On The Heartbreak."

Gypsy, sittin' lookin' pretty
The broken rose with laughin' eyes
You're a mystery, always runnin' wild
Like a child without a home
You're always searching, searching for a feeling
That it's easy come and easy go
Oh I'm sorry but it's true
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Takin' all the best of me
Oh can't you see?
You got the best of me
Whoah can't you see?
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
Can't you see?
Oh whoah
You're such a secret, misty eyed and shady
Lady how you hold the key
Oh you're like a candle, your flame slowly fadin'
Burnin' out and burnin' me
Can't you see?
Just try and say to you
You're bringin' on the heartache
Takin' all the best of me
Oh can't you see?
You got the best of me
Whoah can't you see?
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
Can't you see?
Can't you see?
No no no
You got the best of me
Oh can't you see?
You got the best of me
Whoah can't you see?
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak

Mariah wore tight blue jeans with a silver glitter butterfly on one of the back pockets. She had on a black tanktop that zippered down the middle. Her hair looked like the "Through The Rain" video and her voice, all I can say is amazing. She did not perform the songs in order but here are the six songs she did perform..
Oh Boy (with Cam'ron)
Yours
Heartbreaker (DaBrat joined her onstage)
The One
Through The Rain
Vision of Love (Opening Number for the original show)
Make It Happen

The crowd was great and so was the entire MTV crew. Mariah was suppose to wear two different outfits but when she went to put on her dress, she said she wasn't feeling it. She kept saying, "Okie Dokey Smokey" and just goofing around with the audience. Randy Jackson also joined Mariah onstage throughout the show and it will air on December 3rd, the same day Mariah's new cd will be released. The hour special will feature her performances, an interview with John Norris, interview with six fans and also some other little fun stuff. Make sure you check it out December 3rd!

Here is the article from the NY Daily News (thanks Tom)

Carey-ing on
Mariah Carey hasn't let the highs and lows of fame get her down. The pop princess wowed a couple of hundred of her biggest fans Tuesday night with an intimate party to celebrate her new Island Def Jam release, "Charmbracelet."

The 32-year-old chanteuse is hoping the sultry new album will put her back on top after a recent rocky spell.

"It expresses a kind of spirituality," she told us of her new music. "A lot of the things I've been through, other people, especially women, have also gone through, so I think they can identify with it. But I get feedback from the fans, and I also draw a lot of inspiration from others."

Carey mingled with fans during cocktails at the Rose Center for Earth and Space before she played host to an exclusive preview of the album.

Sipping from a glass of red wine and looking stunning in a low-cut black velvet dress, she scotched rumors in other newspapers that she was looking to sell her spacious Tribeca home.

"It's my first solo apartment, I'm very happy there. It's not for sale."

It might not be solo for long, however. She added with a twinkle in her eye: "But I am looking for the right guy."

Need Wisegirls?
If you don't have Cinemax and need a copy of Wisegirls, Paul is willing to hook you up. All you have to do is contact him at Mspetex5@aol.com

Right as we got in, we were grouped into lots of ten per group and there were around 8 groups overall. We were the first group and the first couple IN the group.

We were on a line and then Mariah just came out with no introduction or anything, we just realized she just appeared right in front of us from nowhere. By hand motions, she was signaling us to come to her.

Nicole's first words to MC were: "We flew from Australia and Israel just to see you tonight". Mariah had a shocked look at her face and couldn't believe it. She grabbed Nicole's stuff including the fan letters and print outs of the animations from MariahBuzz and CD copy of them. MC then saw the big Trey & Mariah photo that Nic had (that she took in Sydney). Nic was gonna get MC to sign it but MC said "Can I keep it? it's so cute!" she hugged the picture and told Nicole "Can I really keep it though?" and Nic said "Sure! I have the negitive". Nic gave MC the teddy bear with a clown charm on it which Mariah automatically knew it was because of the song and gave it to her person saying "Be careful, it's got a charm on it!".

Louise was right there and Nic was showing her the tattoo she has of a Butterfly and MC written below it. Louise was next to Nicole holding her hand as she was shaking too much for Mariah to sign things telling Nic "to stop shaking so much", & she then showed Mariah her tattoo & Louise straight away got Mariah to sign it for "She wants you to sign her hip!" Mariah didn't hesitate and bended over and signed it. Her bodyguards didn't understand what she was doing and wanted to get her up. Then Nic told Mariah "you have to hold this stuff I'm shaking too much" so Mariah them took my gifts & signed Nic's promo of "Through The Rain" and a cute logo we made for the trip that had our sites names on it and said "Around The World To Meet MC." Nicole heard a word about MC might be coming to Australia soon for a promo visit so she asked Mariah about it and Mariah said "you know what? I think I just might be" Nic asked "Can I tell the fans that?" and MC said "I don't know" meaning like she doesn't know details about it as it's not confirmed yet. As soon as Nicole showed Mariah her tattoo, Mariah automatically remembered the girl from Australia who has the full length Mariah tattoo on her arm and mentioned her. So if you're reading this Mariah still remembers you!

Then Liron went up to Mariah and told her "Hey Mariah, I came from Israel" and she said "I know!" She wanted to give her the stuff she made for her and then Mariah hugged her and said "That's nice" pointing at the butterfly necklace she was wearing. Liron gave her the Israeli fanbook and said "That's from Israel" and Mariah took a good look at it and asked "Who's taking my stuff?", this girl came behind her and took it. Then Liron gave Mariah the Meet & Greet Fan Reviews she made from the MariahDaily visitors who sent in their reviews & pictures. MC looked at it and asked "Is this for me?" Liron said "Yep!" and explained to her what it was. Then she gave Mariah the logo we made and told her she can keep it. MC said "thank you". She then gave her the present she got for her from Israel and MC said "Wow, so much stuff". Then Mariah took a look at this note Liron had that said "I flew 20 hours & thousands of miles just to get a hug" so she hugged her again. Then she signed Liron's logo as well and dedicated it to Liron and signed Li's favorite MC picture as well.

While Liron was with Mariah, Nicole spoke to Louise who was very appreciative of our dedication and work and was fully aware of who we both were.

After our group was done chatting to Mariah individually, we took our group photo where Liron was down in front of Mariah & Nicole was one person from Mariah. They took around 10 shots per group to get the best shot possible to send to the fans. It was a little embarrassing as we got there last (because we were the first to talk to her) and got shoved at the back in the beginning but then Jimmy (from WildWritings) was nice enough to let Liron in and Louise said "lean on the front". Li then got up at one point while they were still taking pictures.

After we finished this moment with MC, we went away for a bit and saw her shaking hands with the other fans and signing stuff occasionally. Li then realized she had the Butterfly CD and wanted MC to sign it. Michael said "No more, we have to move to the 2nd group" and Liron said to Mariah "It's my favorite CD Mariah, can you sign it?" and Mariah took it over Michael's head and said "It's the Butterfly CD, I gotta sign it!" and did. Nicole then gave MC yet another TTR promo to sign (it was for Andrea).

We then just stood there next to Louise and Bill the photographer while everyone else was standing in line to meet Mariah. We looked at her awestruck, overwhelmed and amazed, kept saying "This is not happening, look how incredibly gorgeous she is". Liron then suggested Nicole would ask Louise if we could get a picture with Mariah, so she whispered to Louise "Would it be possible for us two to get a separate photo with Mariah because we have never had one" Louise then said "Hold on a minute" as she walked over to Michael & spoke to him. We know she was talking to him ab
