mariah carey

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970 in Huntington, New York), is an American popular music singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. She is the best-selling female recording artist of all time and the top-selling recording artist of any kind in the 1990s. Her singing is influenced by rhythm and blues, pop, gospel, hip hop, and rock and roll. She is credited as having a five-octave vocal range (one of the largest of any artist). Her vocal swoops and trills are an easily recognized feature of her sound, and this lavish use of melisma has influenced a generation of singers. Her attractive appearance, commanding vocal presence, and career twists and turns lead to her being recognized as a diva. Carey was named after the song "They Call The Wind Mariah" from the musical Paint Your Wagon. Mariah Carey has no middle name.

Early life and family 19701990

Mariah is the third and youngest child of Patricia Hickey, an opera singer and voice coach of Irish ethnicity, and Alfred Roy Carey, an aeronautical engineer of Venezuelan-African descent. She has a sister named Alison and a brother named Morgan, both of whom are about ten years older than her. The Carey family experienced racism and this brought so much tension that by the time Mariah was three, her parents divorced. Mariah and Morgan stayed with their mother while Alison stayed with their father. Financial struggles caused the mother's side of the family to move among different towns on Long Island. Mariah began singing when she was three; her mother realized early on that she had tremendous potential. Mariah first performed in public when she was six and first began writing songs when she was sixteen. Carey attended and graduated from Harborfields High School in Greenlawn but was frequently absent due to efforts to break into the music business. She eventually landed a role as a backup singer for Brenda K. Starr. Then in 1988 in a now-legendary, Cinderella-like story, while at a party Carey gave a demo tape to Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola. She had already left the party by the time he listened to it; he was astounded by what he heard; he tracked her down and signed her to a recording contract.

Career success 1990-1999

Her career began in with the release of her self-titled debut album in 1990, when she was just twenty years old. She became a commercial success almost overnight, and the album produced four huge #1 hit singles: "Vision Of Love," "Someday," "Love Takes Time," and "I Don't Want To Cry". Beginning with this first album and throughout her career, Carey has been a co-writer on almost every song she has recorded, working with songwriting partners such as Ben Margulies, Walter Afanasieff, and many others. Carey has also co-produced many of the songs on her albums, in collaboration with these and other partners. Carey's second album, Emotions, was released in the fall of 1991 and its first single, the title track, also was an American #1 hit. This song gave Carey the record of being the only musician or band ever to have had their first five singles all hit the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in America. Emotions had several other top five singles, such as "If It's Over," "Can't Let Go," and "Make It Happen". In 1992, Carey made her first real concert performance on MTV Unplugged. Her whistle register workout on "Emotions" showed that her vocal abilities were not confined to the studio. She premiered a heartfelt cover of the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There" which was subsequently released as a single and became a big hit. Carey and Tommy Mottola had become romantically involved, and in 1993 they staged a lavish wedding. Carey's next studio album, Music Box, was released in 1993 and spawned the hits "Anytime You Need A Friend," "Never Forget You," and the hugely popular number one songs "Dreamlover" and "Hero". These last two songs are among Carey's most memorable works, with the inspirational "Hero" in particular achieving an added resonance in the public mind in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks and Carey's performance of it at the benefit. The Music Box hits together with Carey's duet with Luther Vandross of Diana Ross' "Endless Love", made Carey one of the most-played musicians on the radio in 1993 and 1994. During the Christmas season of 1994, Carey released the album Merry Christmas, and had a perennial hit with her original holiday song, "All I Want For Christmas Is You". In 1995, Carey released Daydream. This album and her previous studio album, Music Box, would eventually go on to sell over 30 million copies each worldwide, making them Carey's two best selling albums. Its lead single, "Fantasy", got heavy play on urban radio, thanks to a remix which featured a rhyme by the Wu-Tang Clan's Old Dirty Bastard. This also marked the start of a new trend for Carey's singles. She realized that she had a higher potential at having massive crossover hits if she employed the use of various genre-specific remixes for each single. Daydream's second and third singles, "One Sweet Day," a duet with Boyz II Men, and "Always Be My Baby," respectively, were arguably even bigger hits than "Fantasy". "One Sweet Day" spent 16 consecutive weeks at #1 in the US, beating the original record of 14 held by Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" and Boys II Men's "I'll Make Love To You". It still holds the record for the longest consecutive stay at #1 in the US. "Always Be My Baby" received huge airplay from pop, adult contemporary, and adult top 40 radio, and its urban remix which featured rhymes by Da Brat and a more soulful sounding chorus, sung by R&B group Xscape got huge airplay on urban, rap, and R&B radio stations. "Forever" and "Open Arms" were the last singles off of the album, did not make #1 but were still top 10 hits in America. Carey and Mottola separated in 1997; their divorce would become final the following year. Carey's 1997 album, Butterfly Carey's second consecutive album debut at #1, saw her continuing to move in an R&B/hip hop direction. Its butterfly imagery related to Carey's feelings about escaping what she saw as the controlled, cocoon-like environment of her marriage. The first single, "Honey" was huge a number one hit and featured a remix with rappers Puff Daddy, The Lox, and Mase. It was also her 3rd single to debut at #1 on the Hot 100. Its video displayed a much more sexual and sultry Carey than any previous video. Other singles and videos off the album included "Butterfly", "The Roof", "Breakdown" (a duet with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony featuring Carey singing in a style similar to the way the Bone Thugs rap), and the #1 hit "My All". In 1998, Carey released the album #1s, a collection of all her American number one singles up to that point. It also included the new singles "When You Believe", a duet with Whitney Houston which featured in the DreamWorks animated film The Prince of Egypt; "Sweetheart", a hip-hoppy duet with Jermaine Dupri; "I Still Believe," a cover of the '80s song by Brenda K. Starr; and "Whenever You Call", a duet with popular R&B singer Brian McKnight. During the late summer of 1999, Carey began promoting her upcoming album Rainbow by releasing a single and video for "Heartbreaker". By this point, Carey had begun to alienate audiences by striving to create songs that tried too hard to appeal to all people. In the case of "Heartbreaker", it received criticism for sounding like her previous singles "Dreamlover" and "Fantasy", and many people viewed the guest rap from Jay-Z as a desperate attempt to get the single airplay on urban radio, since Carey could no longer depend on adult contemporary or even top 40 radio to necessarily play her new singles as they once had. At this point in Carey's career, adult-contemporary fans were feeling betrayed by Carey, while urban fans felt that she was just jumping on the rap bandwagon. With people unsure what to make of her changing sound, style, and image, and several types of radio stations — including adult contemporary, pop, and urban — unsure whether the song fit their format and their audiences, "Heartbreaker" was not the smash that first singles from new Carey albums had always been prior. Nevertheless, it managed to crack the top 20 in overall radio airplay, garnering smaller amounts of airplay from a combination of different formats, and was Carey's fourteenth #1 on the Hot 100, thanks to a commercially available single, which sold over 300,000 copies in its first week alone. The single went on to achieve platinum (1,000,000 copies sold) status and was one of the last singles to do so in America, once the Napster craze took off in 2000 and decimated the American singles industry. "Heartbreaker" featured a popular music video which got heavy airplay on MTV's TRL. With a cost of over $2.5 million, the video is Carey's most expensive to date and one of the top 5 most expensive music videos in history. A video was also filmed for a remix to "Heartbreaker", which was much more hip-hop oriented than the original, featuring a sample of Snoop Dogg's "Ain't No Fun" and guest raps by Missy Elliott and Da Brat. The remix video, which has cameo appearances by Brat, Elliott, and Snoop, also became popular on TRL. Combined, both versions of "Heartbreaker" spent 65 days on TRL and become her first and only TRL-"retired" video. The second single from Rainbow, "Thank God I Found You", became Carey's fifteenth #1 single on the Hot 100. The song was a duet with Joe and featured 98 Degrees singing background vocals on the chorus. The song didn't fare as well on the radio as Carey's earlier songs, but solid sales assured that the song became a chart hit. Like "Heartbreaker", following in the trend that Carey seemed to use at the time for each new single, a video for a remix of "Thank God I Found You" — which contained a sample from Keith Sweat's "Make It Last Forever" and featured Joe and Nas — was released. After having an astounding 26 consecutive songs in the Top 20 since her debut 10 years earlier, the album's next two singles, "Crybaby" and "Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme)", were released. Neither song really took off with any audience. "Crybaby", a hip-hop song which featured Snoop Dogg, was promoted to urban and hip-hop radio, while "Mariah's Theme", a ballad in the vein of "Hero", was promoted to top 40 and adult contemporary radio. Even with a commercial single release "Crybaby" only managed to peak at 28 on the Billboard Hot 100, Carey's lowest peaking single up to that point. This led to widespread speculation that Carey's career was in massive decline. To date, Rainbow has sold over 3 million copies in America and another 9 million internationally. Though her release singles are usually in the pop genre, she has also combined her talents with rap artists such as Lord Tariq, Peter Gunz, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Most of her recent singles have also been remixed as dance music, where she worked with DJs such as David Morales and Junior Vasquez.

Struggles 2000-present

Carey suffered physical and mental exhaustion in 2001. Her acting debut in the semi-autobiographical film Glitter was panned by almost all movie critics and the movie was a box office failure. This coupled with her many years of excessively hard work appeared to have taken a toll on her. She left had her longtime label to sign a huge contract with EMI's Virgin Records, under which her tenth album Glitter was released. The lead single "LoverBoy" reached #2 in the Hot 100 thanks to Virgin's massive campaign to sell the single for only 99 cents across America. However, sales were disappointing and airplay almost nonexistent. The album peaked at #7, Carey's lowest peaking album ever, despite being hailed as some of Mariah's best work. To date, it has sold 5 million copies worldwide, which is about 2 million less of what Rainbow sold in the US. Finally, Mariah made a notorious appearance on MTV's TRL, where she was scantily clad and acting strangely. After that, she checked into a mental health facility and announced that she was taking a break from performing. EMI realized they had signed Carey for too much given her reduced popularity, and they bought out her contract for $35 million. This gave Carey another round of bad publicity. Meanwhile, her three-year relationship with singer Luis Miguel was coming to an end. Before that she had briefly dated baseball star Derek Jeter. Carey has stated in interviews that despite her more overtly sexual image, she is very reticent to enter intimate relationships. In part this is in reaction to her sister Alison, who is undoubtedly the black sheep of the Carey family. Alison was a drug addict for a long time, was diagnosed with HIV and promised to write a tell-all book of how she worked as a prostitute to support Mariah's career in the beginning. Mariah's family denied this, and in fact it was Mariah who took care of Alison's children when Alison lost custody. To further add to Mariah's emotional burdens, her father Alfred Roy Carey died from cancer in 2002. Carey had a prominent acting role in the film Wisegirls, which came out in 2002; this time she received much better notices from critics. Mariah then released a new album, Charmbracelet in December 2002 as part of a new deal with Island Records; it debuted at #3. She expressed an interest in writing music that is more profoundly meaningful to her and her fans. The album included the singles "Through The Rain", "Boy (I Need You)" featuring rapper Cam'ron, and a cover of Def Leppard's 1980s hit "Bringin' On The Heartbreak". None of the three singles really took off with radio though fans continued to buy her singles in the thousands, leading to the conclusion that Carey had lost her "radio magic" after a decade of one radio hit after another. However, in 2003, a duet with Busta Rhymes entitled "I Know What You Want" fared considerably better, having reached the top five (#3) of Billboard's pop singles chart and the top five in rap radio airplay. It is also featured on the latest release The Remixes, a double CD containing a series of remixes. That year, she was awarded the World Music Awards "Diamond Award" in honor of over 150 million album sales worldwide. Carey spent the majority of 2004 preparing for the release of her twelfth studio album, entitled The Emancipation of Mimi. That fall she was featured on Jadakiss's hit single "U Make Me Wanna". Although the song was not as great of a success as her Busta Rhymes collaboration, it managed to hit the Top 10 of Billboard's R&B chart. In November, a new song from her upcoming album entitled "Say Something" featuring rappers Snoop Dogg and Pharrell leaked on to the Internet. The song was planned as the first single, but was met with a lukewarm response. Another Neptunes production, "Tonight", which featured rapper Nelly also leaked on to the Internet around this time. On New Year's Eve, Carey premiered a Jermaine Dupri production at the Pure Club in Las Vegas. The song, "It's Like That" received a positive response and began receiving airplay a day later. The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #53 on January 22. It was her highest debut in nearly five years. Within weeks, it zoomed into the top 20. Media sources hailed the song a triumphant return for Carey; Billboard wrote, "After years of underwhelming singles, Mariah Carey finally returns with a hot track..." and put it in their list of the week's essentials. The decade-old "All I Want For Christmas Is You" also gave Carey a significant radio presence towards the end of the year among the many radio stations playing all-holiday music formats. The Emancipation Of Mimi will be released on April 12, 2005 (tentative). The next single will be released about the same time as the album. "We Belong Together" is a mid-tempo ballad that critics call "a return to the days when Mariah made great songs that where very well recieved by the general public ... she's going back to her roots ..." It is already receiving moderate airplay throughout the country and is expected to put Carey back on the map in terms of hit singles. Billboard gave this song a rave review as well.
