“ No one thought it was a good idea then and no one thinks it is a good idea now…My wife foreseen all this. She tried to tell the network, ‘I don’t think this is going to work, I’m afraid…this is going to turn into one of those reality shows. I didn’t sign up to be on Love And Hip Hop.’

'Mottola admits that he should never have gotten involved with Carey. “It was inappropriate”, he says in hindsight, in agreement with what many of his close friends warned him at the time. He does apologize to Mariah Carey for having been so controlling–but not really. He says that he’s sorry if she felt that way, but after all, he had the best of intentions and was simply obsessed with making her successful. After all, he says, what artist wouldn’t want such a tireless advocate in their court, especially if it’s the head of your record label?'

Mariah is a shade sensei. Sit beside her well trussed feet and hope to absorb a mere fraction of her effortless skill.

'...Us Weekly is reporting that Nicki Minaj has signed on to judge the next season of American Idol alongside Mariah Carey.' 

Mariah Carey, ‘the Star-Spangled Banner,’ Super Bowl 2002

…I never wanted to be up front, I was always happy being the backing singer. I sang for so many…like Aretha Franklin, Mary J Blige and Mariah Carey. It was unreal but great…I would have been the highest paid backing singer at the time because of the reputation I had built and the passion I had for it. Mariah called me back to tour with her on several occasions whilst I was working on other projects—I mean, I also wrote music, and so it got to a point where so many people around me were constantly trying to tell me and encourage me to go forward for myself and sing my own songs. more from Kelly Price.

“…There’s something about the night. It inspires even when you don’t want it to. Like, sometimes when I’m trying to sleep and these words come into my head, and I go, ‘Oh, no.’ I have to get up and write.” more from Mariah Carey, in 1991
