Mariah Carey is one of the best selling female artists of all time.This sexy diva is known for her sultry and dynamic vocal stylings. She is a five time Grammy Award winning artist and has the most number-one hits in the United States as a solo artist. Mariah collaborated with some of the hottest names in the music industry that include the likes of Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, Usher, Jermaine Dupri, Kanye West, The Neptunes, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Not only is she a singer, but a writer and producer as well. Not that Ms. Carey is back on top of the music world, her concert during the week of January 2nd at Borgata was the most incredible so far. When she stood there and began singing the interlude to Daydream, that’s when the crowd knew it was in for a treat!
Mariah Carey was born and raised in Huntington, Long Island, New York. Music had a large influence on Mariah at an early age. She would listen to her mother practicing opera and soon began to imitate her. She began singing at the age of three and throughout her early teens would find herself skipping school to focus on music. After graduation from high school, she moved to New York City working part-time jobs to pay the rent. In 1998, Mariah finally got her big break when she met Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola. Mottola listened to a demo of Mariah’s work and soon signed her to a recording contract.
Mariah’s early success came with the release of her self titled debut album, where she co-wrote many of the tracks. Her debut album was a huge commercial success as it yielded four number-one singles and made Mariah an over night star in the United States. As the success of the debut album continued, Mariah would win Grammys for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Mariah’s career continued to roll and she received Billboard’s Artist of the Decade Award. Soon after, Mariah would depart from Columbia Records and sign with Virgin where she would sign a contract worth a reported $80 million. It was during this time that Mariah’s career would begin to take a turn in the opposite direction. She would find herself checking into a hospital suffering from an emotional and physical breakdown. Also during this time, Mariah would be panned by critics for her role in Glitter and the accompanying soundtrack of the same name.
Carey’s career was resurrected in 2005 with her tenth studio album release, The Emancipation of Mimi. Mimi was critically acclaimed and garnered Carey three Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary R&B Album, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, and Best R&B Song.
The diva was back and her career was skyrocketing her to a new level of fame. Mariah began The Adventures of Mimi Tour, which was the most successful tour of the career to date. Her personal life would also begin to shine as she met and married Nick Cannon. According to Mariah, she has never been more at ease with herself or more fulfilled in her life than she does at this point in her life.
Mariah’s latest album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, has already earned praise from critics and fans alike. Mariah would also receive much praise for her role in the critically acclaimed film, Precious. Mariah’s new tour features the diva at her best. Coming down from the ceiling on a swing with a beige dress she yet again proved that she is one of the most beautiful, talented performer of all time, Mariah Carey!
