I hope to be around past the 90's. I don't want to just be categorized as one of this era. My goal is to have a career that stands.
Mariah CareyYou don't have to be doing vocal acrobatics or singing all over the scale to have soul.
Mariah CareyI'm not a subscriber to walking into large corporate entities that I have to walk into and be waiting in line, because then I have to stand there.
Mariah CareyStay triumphant, keep on living. Stay on your toes, get off the ropes. Don't let 'em ever count you out.
Mariah CareyIn any big spectacular, it's really difficult to have enough voices to cover all the vocal parts. To give the audience the complete experience they're expecting, there is some reinforcement, some playback that everybody's hearing. Sometimes it's background vocals, but sometimes it will be actually vocal tracks. It's so hard to ensure, with no safety net ... you're not gonna get another shot at it, you have to have stability. I think it's very naïve of a lot of people to think that when you see someone open their mouth, they're really singing.
Mariah CareyI prayed very hard for this to happen and it happened. I don't even think about what I've achieved, I haven't focused on it and I wish I had, because I really want to enjoy it, and I don't know if I am enjoying it, because I am going through my life like a bulldozer. I still haven't marveled at it.
