Mariah talks about "Hero"
You've done memorable performances of "Hero" at Live 8 and the A Tribute to Heroes show after 9/11. How does it feel to lend your talents to a good cause? Why do you think "Hero" resonates so well with people?
Having written "Hero" and I didn't even think I was writing it for myself, that's the first thing that's really strange when so many people tell me that the song has changed their lives and I have performed it at so many different charitable events like Live Aid and A Tribute to Heroes and countless others.
I think that it's one of those songs that I really will always enjoy singing even though when I first wrote it I was like, "I don't know about this song. It's so down the middle, it's so this and that." But so many people have told me that it helped them and that's why I do what I do so yes I do what I do because it's fun for me but also if you have an added bonus of someone telling you something helped them through a difficult period of time in their life there's nothing like that feeling.
