Mariah gets charmed
The beautiful Mariah Carey is making some new music and she wants to deliver it to fans herself. Jodi Ross talked to the diva in New York this morning.
If anybody knows how to please their fans, it's Mariah. "The song I did with Busta Rhymes called 'I Know What You Want' became this runaway hit just from people playing it off his album. I didn't do it quickly enough for it to be on my album. It was literally like two days of a difference. So we said if we ever put the song out, it would go on my album as well, so that's why we're doing this re-release," Mariah said.
So a new and improved version of Charmbracelet, with four additional tracks, is headed for stores. She's so excited about it that she's hitting the road like never before. Jodi Ross: Now what about the tour? Your first theatre tour.
Mariah: My first theatre tour is very exciting because it's going to be a more intimate setting for the fans. I was never in control of my touring situation before. I didn't understand it and I don't do it very much because I have to protect my voice. So now that I'm more in control of my life in general, I just decided to do it this way. And I think that the fans are happy about it. Over worked in the past, Mariah has taken charge of her life and career. She recently formed MonarC Music. Jodi Ross: You have had ups and downs with record labels and companies. Is this a way to maybe put a stop to that?
Mariah: Yes I have. I think so. I think having your own company - when you put your stamp of approval on things - it's what you want really. It's very important. Jodi Ross: What have you done to change your lifestyle?
Mariah: It's just really about eating right, working out more, taking time for sleep - you know, like making it written into the contract, I have to have a certain amount of sleep every night. You can't put me on this promotional schedule and give me one hour of sleep. It's not going to work. I'm human. Mariah's tour kicks off this month in Asia. One cool thing is that fans can go to her official website and pick the songs they would most like to hear in concert. (E! News Live) Many thanks to Mariah Daily.
