a-farn: 咪咪和小黑一有機會就黏得緊緊的,就怕人們不知道他們是夫妻。而且NICK把瑪麗亞摟那麼緊,連腰身都硬擠出來，根本是在幫倒忙嘛！

首波主打"Obsessed"在7月28號將進佔主流電台(CHR/Top 40 Mainstream radio)，面對第二周下載量明顯下降，點播成績爬升緩慢的情況，相信此舉能讓這支單曲在排行榜的成績往上攀升！

天后瑪麗亞凱莉前日接受MTV帥氣主持人Tim Kash專訪，剛開始主持人對瑪麗亞做了一些基本介紹，稱讚她是少數音樂圈能被稱之為「傳奇」的傳奇，全世界專輯銷售量累積超過1.7億，而且能在最新專輯幾近完成的時間點抓到機會訪問瑪麗亞感覺很棒之類的話...

以下是訪談的重點：

‧瑪麗亞很喜愛嘻哈音樂也已跟許多嘻哈歌手合作過, 著名者如Jay-Z, Nas, JD...等，這次和Gucci Mane合作是另一個不錯的選擇!

‧瑪麗亞的最新混音MV已在BET的106 & Park全球大首播。

‧瑪麗亞的最新專輯和許多製作人合作如Timbaland, The-Dream,當然還有老夥伴Jermaine Dupri。

‧最後, 瑪麗亞說自己如果成為nobody，第一件事就是要交許多朋友！而且她不知道人們跟她說話是因為她是位好女孩(不是吧!應該是壯女孩)，或者是因為她是個明星。(專訪原文...)

影音檔~~

當每個人都還認為瑪麗亞在MV中扮演的人是Eminem時，她告訴大家："我還比較像我哥，或者我的cousin Chris呢！"(MV導演Brett Ratner和老公小黑對這話題也是同樣口徑...)

而且，瑪麗亞說在MV中吞雲吐霧的部分，是老公小黑的點子....(更多專訪內容...)

瑪麗亞凱莉昨晚現身BET 106 & Park節目,為她與繞舌歌手Gucci Mane合作的最新單曲"Obsessed"混音版MV宣傳! 在現場也宣傳她與Elizabeth Arden共同合作的香水品牌"Forever",預計在年底上架!

在與主持人Terrence J的訪談中,瑪麗亞聊到前日在Michael Jackson追思會上的表現,和她主演的電影"Precious".當然也包括將在今年發行的最新專輯"Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel".當被主持人問到專輯何時才會發行的問題時,Mariah說: "我正為這張專輯努力製作中,我們來回錄製了許多不同的作品,基本上我將會在這一周完成這一張最新專輯,希望在九月能讓大家聽到我的全新作品!"

Mariah said:
"I'm working. I'm trying. We're going back and forth with a lot of different songs and I have too many songs. So basically I got to finish up this week and then hopefully September. Trying to go for August."

a-farn: 拍混音版MV應該是計畫中的事(我說的),但咪咪出來參與這支混音MV的全球首播絕對是不願意放棄首單的作法(終於阿....)主打"Obsessed"本周點播成績雖然小有上升,但下載量明顯下降,單曲榜掉到#20的位置. 專輯延發的消息由於官網並沒有更新,所以確切發行日還要等官網的最新消息!

'It was a true and honest emotional moment,' she tells 'Today' of her voice cracking during 'I'll Be There.'

Mariah Carey had the difficult task of being the first performer at the Michael Jackson memorial on Tuesday. And when her voice cracked in the first few moments of her cover of the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There," she said she felt like she disappointed everyone.

On the "Today" show Wednesday (July 8), Carey described how hard it was for her to sing on the show and how seeing the casket made it difficult for her to get through the performance. "I feel a little bit like I let everybody down, but I really did try and it was difficult," she said. "But you know what I think? It was a true and honest emotional moment."

On Tuesday, Mariah also took to her Twitter to share with her fans her disappointment over her performance and how completely emotional she became at the show. "Trying to sing today was basically impossible for me," she wrote. "I could barely keep myself from crying."

She apologized for the performance, during which she was joined by her "MTV Unplugged" duet partner Trey Lorenz. "I'm sorry that I wasn't able to pull it together and really do it right, but I was literally choked up when I saw him there in front of me," she tweeted.

"One thing I know is, we will never really have to say goodbye to MJ. His legacy lives on through his music and the millions of people he inspired with his timeless music. He will be forever in our hearts."

: 唉~~親愛的咪咪,妳以為道歉後那些存心想毀咪的人會善罷甘休嘛？不,他們不會...開始努力跑宣傳吧！

Mariah, joined by Trey Lorenz, sang her famous 1992 MTV Unplugged cover of the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There." Mariah who was noticeably emotional, ended the song with these words: "We never will say goodbye, even through the pain and heartache, we will be right there. We miss you."



EW, L.A. Times Talk About Mariah's Performance

Simon: And here's Mariah Carey singing "I'll Be There."
Emil: She's breaking down while she sings...
Emil: Trey Larenz joining Mariah. He sings back-up on all of her albums and concerts
Missy Schwartz Imagining little MJ singing this as a kid is almost too much for me. I imagine it's hard for Mariah, too.
Simon: This song is a real tearjerker even in the best of times. Hearing it now...wow.
Emil: I think Mariah is choked up...I couldn't do this....Incredible!!!! Emotional
Simon: Yes -- kudos to Mariah and Trey for getting through this song without breaking down in sobs. True professionals.
Emil: I'm crying at work!!!
Simon: I think people in offices around the world are getting choked up right now.

And Los Angeles Times' writers Ann Powers and Todd Martens share their thoughts on Mariah's performance.

What: Mariah Carey's 'I'll Be There.' A No. 1 hit for Carey, who covered the Jackson 5 hit on her 1992 "MTV Unplugged" album. The ballad was an early sign of Jackson's strength as a vocalist, a childlike innocence conveyed with near expert phrasing. The Times' Ann Powers is inside Staples Center, and she offers that "Carey's version of the Jackson 5 song symbolizes innocence for her too -- it was one of her early hits, and a curly haired, cherubic Carey has been featured singing it in many televised Jackson tributes this last week. For Jackson's fans, the song recalls a period when the star made history as one of the first black teen idols to find acceptance across color lines."

At the memorial: In the very first verse Carey -- in a black, glittery dress -- made it clear that this would be a more restrained, elegant rendition of the song. Singing through the emotions, Carey was at a near-gasp in the song's opening moments. Her partner on the 1992 cover, Trey Lorenz, made an appearance here as well, heightening the performance's gospel undertones. Lorenz, in fact, showed off more vocal dynamics than Carey. But a more subtle Carey is a more graceful one.

Inside the venue, Powers noted that Carey's take began in a tiny voice, as if to honor the boy Michael. When Carey found that Lorenz almost bowled her over, that's when she turned her voice up a notch to match her singing partner. Lorenz sang Michael's name in falsetto, and Carey added "Never Can Say Goodbye..."

Very tasteful.
