 * "some of her dance moves-and outfits-may make you cringe"
 * Apparently, the stage isn't just Mariah's home -- it's her bedroom, too. Why else would the diva spend much of this concert swanning about in spangly undies? And that's the best part."
 * "Not known for her dancing, Mariah thrills with some co-ordinated moves with her backup dancers oozing sexiness all the way."
 * Little has changed in Mariah's concert performances over the years. Some of the dance moves in her 2006 world tour The Adventures of Mimi, were reminiscent of those from her past tours - from Fantasy to Charmbracelet.
 * From the stage to the electronic backdrops and her sizzling outfits, this show is something all Mariah fans will savour. The lady is captivating.
 * The rest is a garden-variety gig -- the giant M-shaped set with staircase, the dance troupe, the satellite stage, the video screens. Wardrobe aside, Mimi isn't as adventurous as she thinks."


 * "no stopping that voice"
 * Carey on top form.
 * her voice, which has "aged" somewhat and therefore sees her struggling to hit the notes which once came out with ease (even the whistle register sounds "raspy")"


 * Excellent staging and top-notch musicianship was the order of the night


 * One disc is a 20-song cut-and-paste concert
 * Unlike some live DVDs, all the tracks here were taken from the same concert on the same night


 * rubbishy, brief, behind-thescenes documentary


 * "Spike Lee short about bitchiness entitled Lovers and Haters that is funny, once"
 * Mariah deals with what critics have been throwing at her with a short tongue in cheek segment called Lovers And Haters. Highly entertaining!


 * the chance to singalongaMariah with six karaoke titles, from which you can remove the guide vocal of the gilded one
 * The DVD has a number of cool features - Judebox allows you to determine the order of songs and Karaoke has minus one tracks.


 * It feels shoddy and lacks cheery Yuletide ditty in any form

 * "inconsistent POV
 * "the camera leers at her face and figure as if this were a Playboy production"
 * "You never really find out about the real Carey, but this program does allow her room to flex her formidable vocal muscles, particularly on the dazzling live clips"
 * "The weakest part is the interview footage, which offers no in-depth answers to basic questions"
 * 2.5/5 stars
 * https://www.proquest.com/docview/2529643942/ - Rolling Stone review; also on EBSCO as AN 9102180142
 * "resembles nothing so much as ads for a phone-sex line"
 * "pleading and vapid" interview parts
 * "Carey describes her influences and gospel and opera, although her shameless oversinging suggests she's learned more from Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals."
 * "The two live clips only confirm that Mariah Carey has the soul of a lip-syncer."
 * EBSCO AN 57914219 - People review
 * "Carey talks appealingly about how thrilled she was the first time she looked out into an audience, saw people singing along and realized they knew the words to her song. The interview clips in this 42-minute tape aren't the point though. The pleasure comes in videos of four songs from Carey's debut album and two previously unreleased live performances. Her version of the old Aretha Franklin hit Don't Play That Song is a special treat, showing what a surpassingly powerful singer Carey can be when she applies that laser of a voice to material more interesting than her own generally nondescript tunes."
 * https://www.proquest.com/docview/257574779/ - Chicago Sun-Times review; see PNG file
 * the footage of her live performances at the apollo/tatou are the best parts. she bursts with conviction while singing the aretha franklin cover. "undeniable ability to deliver a strong musical message".
 * 3/5 stars
 * GALE|EQANJX145108335 - Daily Mirror review; GALE|FLELEN734910440 proves it is a ranked on a five-star scale
 * no "startling revelations"
 * "at her best when she sticks to singing"
 * 3/5 stars

 * Background: She's been teasing this memoir for more than a year, mentioning it at a "Genius Q&A;" during the press tour for her last album, Caution, but thinking about it for ten.
 * Eminem not mentioned; Carey says "If somebody or something didn’t pertain to the actual meaning of Mariah Carey, as is the title, then they aren’t in the book"
 * It’s why she spent two years telling stories to her co-writer, Michaela angela Davis, turning the famed Moroccan Room in her Tribeca penthouse into an emotional vomitorium
 * "speaks fondly of [ex-husband Nick Cannon] in her memoir"
 * Background: It’s not a new story in its particulars — it’s been alluded to in tabloids and interviews for decades by both Carey and Mottola. Even its emotional contours were out there already, in her own words, mostly in song lyrics.

 * "My All", "The Roof" are about Derek Jeter

 * "she tells in great detail [the story of Glitter] for the first time"
 * The first time we talked, Carey mentioned that it was a bit lonely realizing that she was the only one of her peers who lived to write her own story.
 * “There’s so much more dragging that could have been done,” she says. “I really didn’t say everything,” she adds with a smile, leaving us hoping, again, for another piece of the story.

Themes

 * Family/Youth
 * "Throughout her childhood, Carey's family moved 13 times."
 * Most of the experiences with her family members are negative
 * Morgan violence vs. Alfred and Patricia
 * "Carey became estranged from her older sister, Alison, early in her life"
 * Alison boyfriend incident
 * Alison denied the claims when the book first came out, and then later sued
 * "During that period, Carey writes, she sometimes had to talk Alison down from suicidal, “drug-induced hysteria,” then get up a few hours later for school"
 * "Her emotionally distant mother proved unable to care for her the way she needed"
 * "Carey describes her mother, Patricia, a Juilliard-trained opera singer, as a dangerously negligent caretaker. One time, Carey writes, she was left alone with her mom's drugged, shotgun-carrying boyfriend; she adds that at age 7 she almost drowned while her mother sunbathed obliviously."
 * Glitter institutionalization
 * Patricia called the police (Karen)
 * "She believes her mother and brother took advantage of her in this vulnerable state, making her appear unstable in an attempt to become executors of her affairs."
 * as a result of all this, she calls alison and morgan "ex-sister" and "ex-brother", respectively


 * Self (race/hair)
 * "Race is very much the running theme in Carey’s memoir"
 * "The book's back cover of a 7-year-old Mariah was taken at Jones Beach. Carey, who was self-conscious about her matted tresses, recounts a car ride to the beach in which her brother's friend used his comb to untangle her hair"
 * "she describes how her mother did not know how to look after her young daughter’s textured hair, so it was often matted"
 * " Carey would look enviously at the white women in shampoo adverts on TV with their flowing hair."
 * "Carey's hair, which may as well be considered a fully fleshed out character in Meaning, with a personality and agency all its own. Not only does it get its own chapter, in which she reveals how her white mother's indifference toward her biracial daughter's curls made them a "matted, tangled mess" and fueled Carey's insecurities at an early age"
 * "Carey devotes a chapter (“Detangled and Swept Away”) to largely painful memories associated with her curly, multi-textured hair, which she says her mother never bothered to figure out."
 * "Her classmates dubbed her “Fozzie Bear,” like the Muppets character."
 * "Carey is clear that the discrimination she faced was rooted in racism."
 * Crayon incident
 * N-word incident
 * Discrimination at camp (following father's appearance)
 * "As a child, a white friend of hers broke down in tears when faced with the prospect of entering a house with Mariah's Black father"
 * Friends didn't know she was biracial
 * "As a child, her biracial identity made her feel she did not belong anywhere: she was so self-conscious about not being black enough that she wouldn’t even dance, as she associated that with black culture"

(add to style and genre) Harris felt continued descriptions of her hair in adulthood is because of trauma about it in childhood

tommy glitter then go into jlo
 * Mottola
 * "from the start, she was marketed by “the powerful corporate entities” in a way that played down her racial identity"
 * "She writes that Mottola tried to “wash the urban” off her, recoiling at Carey’s increasing leaning towards hip-hop and collaborations with African American artists such as ODB."
 * "Carey says Mottola didn't see hip-hop as more than a fad, and frequently resisted her efforts to branch out into the realm – sometimes with explosive results"
 * "Carey details many specific fights during her relationship with Tommy Mottola"
 * "She describes ex-husband Tommy Mottola as an abuser and a racist."
 * "In her telling, Carey’s first husband ... was abusive and manipulative
 * "Mottola comes off as a total control freak
 * "Carey breaks down her prison of a marriage to former Sony executive Tommy Mottola in excruciating detail."
 * "Mottola controlled everything, from the music they listened to... to the music she created"
 * "Carey ... acknowledges that she owes her success, in part, to him." (record deal, Christmas album)
 * "But as a husband, he was controlling and jealous, she claims"
 * "Portraying music mogul/first husband Tommy Mottola as committed to furthering her career while controlling her every move"
 * "Carey says Mottola destroyed a scrapbook made by her stylists, got mad at her when a magazine cast her in an imaginary All About Eve remake, and argued with their publicist over putting their wedding photos on the cover of People."
 * Life inside Sing Sing
 * Da Brat-Burger King escapade
 * Making of Someone's Ugly Daughter
 * Butter knife incident
 * Jeter relationship/importance
 * "Carey spent time with his biracial family, who showed her that a mixed-race household can be healthy. Carey confirms that “The Roof,” “My All” and “Crybaby” are all about Jeter."
 * "but the movie was still attached to Sony Pictures — which she says allowed Tommy to “sabotage” it. “Tommy and his cronies went as far as taking promotional items, like my stand-up advertisements, out of the record stores,” she describes." + loverboy sample
 * "In his 2013 memoir, he admitted being "obsessive" but said she had given "harsh" and "untrue" descriptions of their relationship."
 * Mottola issued a statement via representative: "I am deeply gratified for the role I played in Mariah’s well-deserved and remarkable success and continue to wish her and her family only the very best"


 * Other people
 * Shading JLo
 * Marilyn Monroe
 * "Carey speaks fondly of numerous divas (Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross) and the divo known as Prince"
 * ODB
 * Diana
 * Michelle Obama
 * Aretha/Celine divas live


 * Misc
 * "Beyond these details, however, Carey doesn’t offer much information about what she was being treated for, beyond a diagnosis of “somatization.” In 2018, she spoke publicly about having bipolar disorder, but she does not mention the diagnosis in her memoir."
 * Beatles
 * "She adds, definitively: "The music business is designed to confuse and control the artist."
