Lambs Radio transcript

The All-Mariah radio show, Lambs Radio had an exclusive interview with Mariah which was aired today on cable 99.3 KCLA FM, Los Angeles at 6:30 PM PST. Below is the transcript of the interview.

Mariah: Hey...

Lambs Radio (Isabel): Hey Mariah how are you?

MC: I'm great. How are you?

LR: I'm great thank you. Thanks for making the show. Welcome to the Lambs Radio show. It's your show.

MC: Thanks for having the Lambs Radio Show. I just wanna say that because it is a Lambs Radio Show and I wished I had more time but now I have to go and be dragged out and do some other stuff like all the regular questions that the regular people who don't know about me asked have been asked all day and are probably gonna be on the internet so you probably wanna ask just the lamb moments.

LR: No problem. Your fans would love to know if you're gonna have a meet and greet or any tour for the upcoming album?

MC: Yeah I gotta get the tour together but I have to figure out what I wanna do because there's so many songs in the new album that I wanna do but I always try to give the fans you know the older stuff too but it's just that there are so many songs that are really like perfect for doing live from this album so I gotta get it together. Figure it on out.

LR: Actually, you know what, it's moved right? The album has moved on the...

MC: It's on the 12th, April 12th.

LR: Instead of the 22nd. So excited about it definitely.

MC: Well you know what? They're only moving it so that everybody can you know it's gonna look like we have 19 songs, we have to narrow it down, and it's really hard for us to pick and choose what we wanna keep, what we wanna not keep coz we're all really attached. When I say "we" like the whole team that's been working with me, L.A Reid and pretty much everybody I know that's like been hearing the stuff. We're like attached to all the songs in different ways but I can't have 19 songs so you know we're trying to just get it together.

LR: How special is this album compared to all the other albums you've had in the past?

MC: Well, I feel that it's very special. I feel that it's a really good step forward and I feel like you know I hope that the fans are really gonna like it. I think I have a good gauge on that but you know it's really a fun moment for me and I think that everybody's gonna feel that when they hear it.

LR: For sure. Definitely. Every song you have out here you know all this love from fans ... spread the lambs for that matter. I just wanna know, like you seem really, really happy and content so that really it shows so that's great. If happiness could be measured on a 1 to 10 scale, what happy scale are you in at the moment?

MC: Well, actually like to be really honest, this particular moment, I'm just like ugh I've been doing interviews and I'm happy to be talking to the Lambs Radio. I wished I would have done the Lambs Radio first.

LR: I'd love for you to do that.

MC: I know but in general, I'm very happy I'm just like you know I mean actually you don't know because you don't sit there and have people asking questions all day. But it's cool. I'm happy because it's a new project and I really want you know people to know about it and if all the people in the land that need to know about it. I'm happy to be talking to you so that you can communicate it on the Lambs Radio.

LR: Thank you so much. You know it's 2005 and it's a brand new year for you. It's been a great start for you definitely, so does Mariah have any New Year's resolution?

MC: Any New Year's resolution? Just to make hot tamales.

LR: I just had that last week.

MC: What did you have last week? Tamale candies?

LR: No just the regular tamale thing like wrapped in that brown thing.

MC: You know I need to get that coz I keep on saying hot tamale but I never had one wrapped in a brown...

LR: It's easy. If you happen to drop by in L.A. and if you like stop by the studio, we'll give you some hot tamales.

MC: I will, you know what? What if everybody's started sending me hot tamales?

LR: I know, that will happen soon. Better watch out for that. Here's a hypothetical question for you. I know you've had all questions regarding your new album and stuff. I'll give you a magical question here. So let's say you were brought inside a magical room, everything and anything is possible, you can go back to the future or go back to the past or like whatever you choose, can you describe what's inside that room and who are the people in it or how would that room appear to you?

MC: My goodness. Okay, Jack has to be there. We have to have water, haha. I don't really know if it's a room.

LR: It's like a fantasyland.

MC: Okay so we open the door and the room is pink yet lavender. (laughs) It's like a pink ceiling and lavender walls. And then it's like open and it's out to a sandy beach with crystal clear water and then I'll just be in the ocean. I'm sorry I'm not that creative right now plus I'm like we're like on the radio so that people that are not lambs can't really get into to what I would really like I go on tangent with you guys.

LR: All lambs are listening to the show. So they would definitely relate to what you're saying.

MC: I just... haha. You know what I'm saying. But, what else? That's pretty good for them. They're looking at me through the freaking door right now like you even know where I'm looking at. You'd be astonished but... By the way, everybody out there. I just wanna know. Have you seen the Elf? The movie Elf?

LR: No I have not. I need to watch that. Everybody says it's such a good movie but I have not.

MC: You have to see Elf, it's really good and Mean Girls.

LR: I have watched Mean Girls, I was dragged by my niece to watch that.

MC: You didn't like it?

LR: No I liked it. It was like I wasn't gonna watch this movie, but I watched it and it was fun.

MC: Oh it's the best. You have to take it to the next level like to really appreciate it, it almost has to be like a cult moment, like you know it could be like The Rocky Horror Picture Show for you. You go everywhere and you can recite the whole thing.

LR: Now it's like everybody would want to borrow that DVD for sure or buy it because you said it's good. Last question because I know you're in a hurry.

MC: Yeah we gotta go. No go ahead.

LR: I hope I can have another interview with you

MC: Definitely, we have to set up an interview on a day when I don't have to do fifty million other interviews so we can talk about fun stuff.

LR: If you have a special message for all your fans out there like how supportive they are, so excited with the new album.

MC: Yeah. Everybody out there that's listening. You guys are the best and you definitely know, you have to know that I'm so grateful, like seriously I can't even stress it enough because I know that everybody's been requesting this song and so supportive and everybody out there should know we had an amazing day at radio today. And so everybody who's been contributing to that, I thank you so much. Seriously, I can't thank you enough.

LR: Thank you Mariah. I appreciate your time. I know you're in a hurry but thank you so much.

MC: No, I feel so great that there's a Lambs Radio. I love that. It's great. So alright. They're yelling at me to go, the annoying man in the hat outside the door. Alright, annoying man, I'm coming. Lambs don't like you, annoying man in the hat.
