Mariah Carey
Mariah
Carey nasceu em 27 de Marco de 1970 em Long Island, NY. Seus pais
sao Alfred e Patricia Carey (Alfred eh Venezuelano e
afro-americano e Patricia Irlandesa), ela tem um irmao e uma
irma, ambos mais velhos, Morgan e Alison.
Quando Mariah tinha tres anos de idade seus pai se divorciaram um
dos motivos foi preconceito racial contra os dois. Ela foi criada
pela mae, uma cantora de opera, e forcada a mudar de cidade
frequentemente por causa de dificuldades financeiras. Foi tambem
por volta dos tres anos de idade q ela comecou a cantar para a radio de seu irmao contra a vontade
de seus pais.
Mariah fez o 2 grau em Harborfield High School em Greenland, NY.
Onde ela admite nao ter sido uma estudante muito dedicada. Durante esse tempo ela cantou para a banda
de seu irmao e gravou seu primeiro demo no estudio q seu amigo
trabalhava. Como eles estava pegando o estudio emprestado tinham q gravar de manha cedo.
Como resultado perdeu muita aula na escola, onde recebeu o
apelido de "Mirage", q signica miragem. Poucos dias
depois q terminou o 2 grau, Mariah se mudou com um amigo (nao sei
se homem ou mulher...) pra New York City, onde eles dividiam um
colchao no chao de um apartamento sujo.
Durante esse tempo na cidade ela teve muitos empregos para viver.
Depois ela ganhou um emprego de segunda voz com a pop star Brenda
K. Starr, que eventualmente se transformou na estrada para o
sucesso de Mariah.
Em uma festa mais ou menos no final dos anos 80 Mariah conheceu
um executivo de gravacao e deu a ele seu demo. O contrado foi
assinado com Tommy Mottola da CBS records.
Desde ai, Mariah tem tido um grande sucesso. Esse ano ela embarca
numa turne pelo mundo e lancou um novo album, Raibow. Sem duvida
seu sucesso ira mais longe no novo milenio.

LETRA DAS MINHAS MUSICAS FAVORITAS:
WHEN YOU BELIEVE
(FROM THE PRINCE OF EGYPT)
Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston
(Words and Music Composed by Stephen Schwartz with Additional
Music by
Babyface)
Many nights we pray
With no proof anyone could hear
And our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we know we could
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
And now I am standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say
There can be miracles
When you believe (When you believe)
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (You can achieve)
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fear
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way safe through the rain
Thought of a still resilient voice
Says love is very near
There can be miracles (miracles)
When you believe (When you believe)
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (You can achieve)
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
You will when you believe
You will when you believe
Just believe
You will when you believe
SWEETHEART
JD & Mariah
(R. Davis - P. Warner)
Boy haven't you noticed
A gleam in my eye
Because of you
I'm a little hypnotized
But every time you're with me
I feel so positive
Now with a little love
Something's got to give
Bridge
A full moon (yeah yeah)
Is waiting in the twilight
Maybe soon
You will come to be my night
Here we are
Hoping that we never part
Stay with me
Hook
Baby, won't you be my sweetheart
We could share a storybook romance
Won't you be my sweetheart
We could share a storybook romance
(What you think about, What you think about you and me baby going
one on one)
Just you and I
You are no Casanova
I know that you'll be true
And that's why
I'm so in love with you
But each romantic ending
You leave me at my door
But tonight
I'd like us to explore
Repeat Bridge
Repeat Hook
Stars are bright
Mood is right
(Say what MC baby sing it to me)
To keep me warn away from harm
Nowhere better than my baby's arms
(Repeat)
Repeat Hook
Let's get together
Live happily ever after
No one to make us sad
Oh baby
You know I need your love

FANTASY
Featuring O.D.B.
(Lyrics: M. Carey - C. Frantz - T. Weymouth / Music: M. Carey -
D. Hall - C. Frantz - T.
Weymouth - A. Belew - S. Stanley)
When you walk by every night
Talking sweet and looking fine
I get kind of hectic inside
Baby, I'm so into you
Darling, if you only knew
All the things that flow through my mind
But it's just a
Chorus
Sweet sweet fantasy baby
When I close my eyes
You come and you take me
On and on and on
It's so deep in my daydreams
But it's just a sweet sweet fantasy baby
Images of rapture
Creep into me slowly
As you're going to my head
And my heart beats faster
When you take me over
Time and time and time again
But it's just a
Chorus
I'm in heaven
With my boyfriend
My laughing boyfriend
There's no beginning and there is no end
Feels like I'm dreaming but I'm not sleeping
It's just a
Chorus
ALWAYS BE
MY BABY
(Lyrics: M. Carey / Music: J. Dupri - M. Carey - M. Seal)
We were as one
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine
Now you want to be free
So I'll let you fly
'Cause I know in my heart
Our love will never die
Chorus
You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Boy don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're ever gonna shake me
Oh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
I ain't gonna cry, no
And I won't beg you to stay
If you're determined to leave boy
I will not stand in your way
But inevitably, you'll be back again
'Cause you know in your heart, babe
Our love will never end
No
You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Boy don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're ever gonna shake me
Oh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
I know that you'll be back boy
When your days and your nights get a little bit colder
I know that you'll be right back baby
Oh baby believe me
It's only a matter of time
Repeat Chorus
I STILL
BELIEVE
(A. Armato - V. Cantarelli)
You look in my eyes
And I get emotional inside.
I know it's crazy
But you still can touch my heart.
And after all this time,
You'd think that I,
I wouldn't feel the same
But time melts into nothing
And nothing's changed.
Chorus:
I still believe, someday you and me,
Will find ourselves in love again.
I had a dream, someday you and me,
Will find ourselves in love again.
Each day of my life
I'm filled with all the joy I could find.
You know that I am not the desperate type.
If there's one spark of hope left in my grasp
I'll hold it with both hands.
It's worth the risk of burning to have a second chance.
No, no, no, no, no, no I need you baby.
I still believe that we can be together.
If we believe that true love never has to end,
Then we must know that we will love again.
Chorus
