Mariah Carey answers your questions
Mariah Carey got to grips with some of your email questions during her Capital Takeover.
Steve in West Hampstead: Who are your musical heroes?
Mariah: I have so many, but I'd like to single one out right now. His name is Stevie
Wonder, and he is to me the ultimate musician because he plays everything, he sings like an
angel and he writes the most amazing songs that have moved me beyond belief. I've met him
and he's given me some amazing advice.
Philippa in Ealing: There were lots of rumours about Janet Jackson being angry about
your new record deal. Was that true?
Mariah: I don't know, but all I would say to you is I don't think so, because Janet
Jackson is an icon. She doesn't have to worry about anybody, she's always going to be doing
her thing. I don't feel that we're similar, I don't have any jealousy or negative feelings
towards her, and I also love the record "Control". That record was hot and it reminds me of
going to the beach with my friends as a kid.
Melissa in Chertsey: Do you enjoy acting as much as singing?
Mariah: I've always acted, even as a little girl doing impersonations of friends or
friends' parents or even family members. That was another form of escapism for me - singing
saved my life and doing characters is another outlet for me. So in answer to your question,
yes I do!
Steven in Tuffnel Park: After "Glitter" are you going to do any more films?
Mariah: Actually, I just did another film called 'Wise Girls' that's a little bit edgy
and a bit controversial, but I had a great time making it.
Fraier in Depford: You've sung about dream lovers and fantasies, are you a loved up
person?
Mariah: I don't really know what the definition of that is, but I think I'm a very
loving person, and I think that's one of the most important things to do in life, even to
all haters!
