Mariah Carey's controversial "theme" song climbing charts
Sony Music not going to release Mariah Carey's next single? What! As outlandish at that
sounds, it seems like Sony's head honcho, Mariah's ex-husband, Tommy Mottola, has lost
interest in keeping a friendly professional relationship with Carey. Has he also lost
interest in the promotion of the Artist of the Decade's career? Apparently so. Mottola
has put his foot down, and supposedly had refused to release Carey's deeply personal
"Mariah's Theme" commercially, which would ultimately limit the success of the song,
making it impossible for it to reach #1. Why would Sony do this? That is unknown to
Mariah fans, who for the past few weeks have been feverishly buying singles and
requesting airplay. But one has to wonder if it will make a difference. Carey recently
expressed her disgust with the situation on her official website, where she is known
to leave voice messages addressed directly to her fans, who access them by going to
www.mcarey.com.
Although her message was short, only a few miutes, she got her point
across. Repeatedly saying things like "I don't know if they're gonna put this on here..."
and "I don't know if they want you guys to hear this," Carey summarized her current
professional situation as anything but "stellar." Further explaining how she had to
"fight to get the single released," she urged fans listening to go out and buy the singles
and to vote. Those words must have done something, because the single was eventually released.
Does this blatant statement by Carey mean a new home for the recording artist in the
future? Rumors have been flying everywhere about how Mariah can't wait to leave Sony
once her contract is up, and even how she'll be signing a contract for La Face's Arista
Records, once Houston leaves sometime next year. Although Sony didn't encourage the new
single, the figures must speak for themselves. The song hasn't hit the airwaves yet,
and it is doubtful that it ever will. But all of the fans' encouragement helped in the
long run.
"Mariah's Theme" (B-side "Crybaby") has entered the Billboard Hot 100 sales chart at an
astonishing #2. Not so bad for a single that was never going to be released. So, although
Mottola controlled Carey's career in the past, it's very obvious that the butterfly
spread her wings just in time. Now pursuing acting, something Carey's "always wanted
to do," it seems as though this songbird's true colors are coming out. Letting "all the
lambs in the land" know that her "rainbow" won't fade anytime soon.
