" Mariah VS Justin " When you’re as successful as the Biebster you can afford to be picky, right? But dissing Mariah Carey is NOT something you want to do, Justin! Justin Bieber’s got game – there’s no denying it. But has fame gone to the 16-year-old tween sensation’s head? He’s definitely picking a battle with the wrong person – none other than la diva herself – Ms. Mariah Carey ! Although the young singer will be collaborating with British chanteuse Corinne Bailey Rae , he knocks any chance of working with Mariah, 39. “I don’t love her new music, it’s not the same [as her old stuff],” the Canadian singer told UK paper The Sun . “It’s like Michael Jordan coming back out to play in the NBA. She is past her best.” While praising Justin Timberlake, Rihanna and Beyoncé, he didn't mince words when it came to Mimi. "I don't love her new music, it's not the same," he said. Ouch, Justin! You better be ready to face the wrath of both Mari

Since then, VH1 and its affiliate partners have contributed over $11.5 million in total support and $3 million in instruments to the national initiative. A significant portion of the proceeds from sales of the "VH1 Divas Live" album will be donated to "VH1 Save The Music" by Epic Records, which has also made a $250,000 advance contribut

PAVAROTTI & FRIENDS On June 1, 1999 the annual Pavarotti & Friends concert took place in the Parco Novi Sad in Modena. Like always, the proceeds of this concert went to the War Child Foundation. This year the children from Guatemala en Kosovo would benefit. Mariah was one of the many guests. She sang "My all" solo and "Hero" in a duet with Luciano Pavarotti. All artists joined the stage in the finale for the song "We are the world". An album was released on September 21, 1999. In an official statement touting the release of the CD, Mariah said that she was pleased to take part in the event. "Pavarotti's a legend. His voice is one of the most incredible ever, so I was honored when he asked me to perform with him. Music has a universal voice and, as there are so many people in need, particularly now, it's an important time for artists to get together, not only to raise money but also awareness for great causes."

Alison Alison Carey is Mariah's older sister. A year after Morgan was born, Patricia Hickey gave birth to a second child, a girl named Alison (sometimes sources say incorrectly Allison). Alison got married at an early age and gave birth to her first child (Shawn) when she was only 18. Ten years later, she gave birth to her other child, Michael. Mariah and Shawn at Robert Kennedy Jr. III's birthday party in 2006 Shawn grew up with his father Richard. His parents divorced when he was only two. Mariah and Shawn are very close. Mariah actually gave him some financial support for his studies. Shawn is very attached to Mariah because she taught him that he could do whatever he wanted in life, provided that he had faith in it. Shawn played in his college football team, and he owns two apartments, one in Boston and an other in New York. Shawn can also be seen in the "Can't take that away (Mariah's theme)" video. Michael is Shawn's

" Mariah in front of Giza Piramyds, Egypt"   M ariah Carey performed one of her most awe-inspiring concerts yet, thanks to the backdrop of the Giza Pyramids in Egypt. Taking the stage in the middle of the 3 pyramids, even Carey, having performed all over the word for 20 years now, was in awe. It was her first time in Egypt.  "Wow! I can't believe I'm standing here," Carey told the crowd of about 3000 executives and VIPs for Etisalat's 3rd Anniversary celebration on Monday. "I mean you guys you're maybe used to it, but us... [pointing to long-time back-up singer Trey Lorenz] that man comes from a town with 300 people only, and and I'm from New York."  She kicked off the show with "It's Like That" from "The Emancipation of Mimi", and kept the hits coming, including "Dreamlover", "Shake It Off", "Emotions", and "I'll Be There" with Lorenz. The 13-song set

Posted by Raiff on Saturday, 29-May-2010, 12:44PM EDT  "Mariah Billboard Chart" Mariah Carey's debut single, "Vision of Love," entered the Billboard Hot 100, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Adult Contemporary charts 20 years ago this week, in the June 2, 1990, issue. The song would become the first of her 18 Hot 100 No. 1s, the most among solo artists in the chart's 52-year history. (Among all acts, only the Beatles, with 20, have more.) Carey has tallied 15 toppers on Hot Dance Club Songs, 10 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and six on Adult Contemporary. Carey's total U.S. album sales stand at 64.5 million, according to Nielsen SoundScan, which began tracking album sales a year after her arrival. In that span, only Garth Brooks (68.4 million) and the Beatles (60.9 million) rank higher. Carey has six No. 1 Billboard 200 titles, including her best selling album, 1995's "Daydream" (7.6 million).

Posted by Raiff on Saturday, 29-May-2010, 12:11PM EDT The Charmbracelet Tour was Mariah's longest and most comprehensive world tour to date, and after five months on the road, she still wasn't done yet. Although she had no current single and her album (released over a year ago) had fallen off the charts, Mariah continued to be seen and heard throughout 2004. In February, Mariah flew to Guadalajara, Mexico to perform before a crowd of 25,000 at The Extravaganza Convention, a private event for employees of the Omnilife Group. The performance was a condensed version of the tour show, and included songs such as "Heartbreaker," "Without You" and "I Know What You Want." Later on the month, Mariah travelled to Asia. Her first stop was to Singapore, where she was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the MTV Asia Awards. She also appeared on "Star Academy," the Lebanese version of "Pop Idol, where she talked

Posted by Raiff on Friday, 28-May-2010, 12:01PM EDT Although sales of Mariah's latest album Charmbracelet were dismal on their own, they pushed her overall album and single sales to a new record. In January 2003, Mariah was honored by the Recording Industry of America with a plaque that read "Presented to Mariah Carey to commemorate more than 100 Gold, Platinum and Multi-Platinum certifications over the course of your extraordinary career. Congratulations from the Recording Industry Association of America." After a three year absence, Mariah returned to the stage of the American Music Awards in January. Though she did not win any awards that night, she would share a very special moment with the world. She was there to pay tribute to a very special man in her life - her father. With the support of four backing singers and a choir, Mariah performed "Through The Rain," as photos of her throughout her life flashed on a giant screen behind her.
