There is something wrong with the Gallery on a technical side. Which means
I am probably going to have to re-do all of the Pictures and add them
again. Which shouldn't take too long , but I will continue to add pictures

Mariah Carey´s career is truly the
stuff of legend. Since she began
her career, Mariah has since
become the best-selling female
performer of all time, with an
incredible 15 #1 singles and two
Grammy Awards. Along the way she
became the only artist to top the
charts in each year of the 1990s,
and, with "Heartbreaker," she
pushed ahead of the Beatles as the
artist with the most cumulative
weeks spent atop Billboard’s Hot
100 Singles chart.
Possessing a spectacular
seven-octave range, Mariah has
proven that she is equally at home
with sweeping ballads and pop,
often incorporating elements of
dance and hip-hop into the mix.
Perhaps even more impressive, she
composes all of her own material.
In May 2002, Mariah signed an
exclusive recording contract with
the Universal Music Group's Island
Records. In addition, Carey has
formed her own label. The first
release for the new label will be
Mariah's forthcoming studio album
set for release on December 3rd,
2002.
Mariah's new album features the
songstress writing and
co-producing with such a-list
names as Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis
and Jermaine Dupri among others.
The album, which is lyrically very
personal, showcases Mariah's
stunning voice, prolific
songwriting and incredible
versatility. This is fully evident
on the first single, the sweeping
epic ballad, "Through The Rain"
which is a perfect example of what
Mariah does best.
Born in Long Island, NY, as the
daughter of a former opera singer
and vocal coach -- and named after
the song "They Call the Wind
Mariah" from the popular Lerner
and Loewe musical Paint Your Wagon
Mariah began singing at the age
of four, and was writing her own
songs by the time she was
attending Oldfield Middle School.
She moved to New York City, the
day after graduating from high
school. Honing her songwriting
skills and lending her vocals to
several local acts, she first
garnered industry attention when
singing backup for Brenda K.
Starr, who gave Mariah’s demo tape
to Sony Music Entertainment chief
Tommy Mottola at a party. As
legend has it, Mottola played the
demo on his ride home and ordered
his driver to immediately return
to the party so that he could meet
the young singer. Soon afterwards,
Mottola signed Mariah to a
Columbia Records contract.
Mariah’s self-titled Columbia
debut, released in 1990, spawned
an extraordinary four #1
singles: "Vision of Love," "Love
Takes Time," "Someday" and "I
Don't Wanna Cry," and led to
Grammy Awards for Best New Artist
and Best Female Vocalist. The
following year’s album, Emotions,
was another smash, with the title
track scoring her fifth
consecutive #1 single and two
other titles "Can’t Let Go" and
"Make It Happen" reaching the
Top Five. Her next release, 1992’s
MTV Unplugged EP, scored another
#1 with her cover of the Jackson
5’s "I’ll Be There."
Music Box (1993) became her
biggest seller to date, with "Dreamlover"
and "Hero" again topping the
charts, and was followed by 1994’s
Merry Christmas, which contained
another hit with "All I Want for
Christmas is You." Daydream (1995)
contained the club-friendly
"Fantasy," which debuted at #1
making Mariah the second artist in
history, and the first female
performer, to accomplish that
feat. The follow-up single, "One
Sweet Day" (recorded with Boyz II
Men), followed suit and stayed at
the top of the charts for a record
16 weeks.
Butterfly (1997) revealed an even
greater hip-hop flavor than its
predecessor, scoring hits with
"Honey" and "My All." The
following year witnessed the
release of greatest hits
collection #1’s, which included a
new song, "When You Believe" (from
the film The Prince of Egypt), a
duet with Whitney Houston which
paired the two most successful
female recording artists in pop
history. Rainbow, with its
chart-topping tune "Heartbreaker,"
followed in 1999.
In 2001, Mariah signed with Virgin
Records, which released Glitter,
the soundtrack album to
the film of the same name, with
Mariah in her first lead acting
role. She has also been featured
in the films The Bachelor (1999)
and Wisegirls (2002).
Mariah has garnered many accolades
throughout her career including 2
Grammy Awards, 8 American Music
Awards, Billboard's "Artist of the
Decade" Award and the World Music
Award for "World's Best Selling
Female Artist of the Millennium"
to name a few. Mariah’s many
accomplishments and unprecedented
career success stand as a
testament to her creativity and
talent. That they represent only
the beginning is all the more
impressive. |
