Tuesday, 10th of November 1998 - Australia official tracklisting. It's getting clearer now. 5 minutes ago Sony USA mailed and said that the Hero song will not be live, but the studio version. Also Lee sends me the official tracklisting from Sony Australia. Here it is: 1. Sweetheart - Mariah featuring JD 2. When You Believe (from The Prince Of Egypt) - Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston 3. Whenever You Call - Mariah Carey & Brian McKnight 4. My All 5. Honey 6. Always Be My Baby 7. One Sweet Day - Mariah Carey & Boys II Men 8. Fantasy - featuring O.D.B 9. Hero 10. Dreamlover 11. I'll Be There - featuring Trey Lorenz 12. Emotions 13. Someday 14. Love Takes Time 15. Vision Of Love 16. I Still Believe 17. Without You 18. Do You Know Where You?re Going to (Theme From Mahogany) This seems exactly the same as the European tracklisting. The USA one is also exactly the same, except that Do You Know is replaced by I Don't Wanna Cry. And Without You isn't on either of course. |

Tuesday, 10th of November 1998 - Beautiful WYB and new Sony site. Millions of people Emailed me about the newly updated Sony site for Mariah, and brand new design for the #1's album. Check it out at www.mcarey.com! It's da bomb and they have lyrics and sounds to the new songs!! Also they had another cover of the WYB single, it's terribly stunningly beautiful!!!
![]() News from Sony Australia is sent to me by Bernard who says they list the When You Believe single to be out November 23 down there. I expect a similar date for Europe. For Asia I don't know, but Michael from Thailand tells me his mom saw it in a store today, but she didn't buy it! So that's unconfirmed for now. |

Tuesday, 10th of November 1998 - Cool competition! JP sends me this: ===================== As I was flipping through radio stations last weekend (99.1 KGGI), I heard something about Mariah. They said that the weekend was called "Mariah Carey Weekend," they gave out Mariah's "#1's" cd to people who called in and was caller 29. The winners of that were then entered in a drawing where one of them will get to HANG OUT WITH MARIAH for TWO NIGHTS!! Airfare and Hotel included. They announced the this morning, around 7:10. Unfortuanlly, I never won. But the funny thing is it was all woman who won. Strange! ==================== As I told JP, I think Mariah asks that only girls win, she doesn't want some guy drooling over her I guess.... *sob* =) Speaking of competition, I heard that they've selected the FANatic who will get to interview Mariah on TV. It was a girl(!) who won, and she's from England. But I'm not sure about that yet. |

Monday, 9th of November 1998 - Mariah gets props from other artist. Bernard sent me this, from an interview with singer Jennifer Paige. ==================== Her self titled album, out this month on Shock, concerns itself mostly with smooth R&B smoochers such as "Get To Me" and "Just To Have You" and ballads like "Always You", "Let It Rain" and "Between You And Me" which surge into Mariah/Whitney territory. The most asked question of Jennifer is, if she minds the Mariah Carey comparisons.
"I listened a lot to her when I was a teenager, and she's a great
singer, so that's not a bad person to be compared to! I get annoyed
when someone says I sound like her. Because I don't want to do that,
I want my own style." Don't wory Honey, you'll most likely never sound as amazing as Mariah =) |

Monday, 9th of November 1998 - More about the pope. Jamie from Mexico tells me this: ===================== I just read out what Jamie (not me) from Colombia told you about the Pope and the poems. Well, yesterday night I was watching T.V. and I heard this note about some poems (as I understood) written by the Pope himself, were about to be sung by 3 international stars. They mentioned Ricky Martin... yes, because he's latin. I didn't heard anything about Mariah, I am not telling the other Jamie is wrong, is just that I didn't pay so much attention to the note. Even though if they'd mentioned Mariah I surely would've noticed it :-). ==================== I think it would be cool if Mariah could do this since I love everytime she gets asked to do something, like the Nobel Peace concert last year. |

Monday, 9th of November 1998 - Preview 20/20 show. From the club CravinMC: =================== Regina, (thanks InfoMC) has told me that she saw a preview for the Mariah 20/20 on this FRIDAY!

Make sure you check out 20/20 this FRIDAY! |

Monday, 9th of November 1998 - Mariah webchat confusion. Mariah is supposed to be on the Internet tomorrow on the 10th. I'm not exactly new to the net, and I'm still not even sure how it will work out, but here is what I've figured out so far: 1. On the official Mariah site www.mcarey.com it says that it's on 9.30 at night Eastern Time(New York time) and to check chat.yahoo.com 2. At chat.yahoo.com you need to register for an account, I did that and then I checked out the event calendar to see about Mariah's chat. 3. I find Mariah, and it says I need the Realplayer at www.realaudio.com to listen and see the chat. Also that I should go to Sonicnet too because they're involved. 4. At Sonicnet it says I need to download a plugin called iChat to be in the chat, but on the Yahoo site it says all I need is a web browser that can handle Java... |

Sunday, 8th of November 1998 - Mariah and the pope? Okay, I try not to put up things I think seems a bit unrealistic, but these were interesting so why not. Sent to me by Jamie from the country of Colombia. Isn't Internet cool btw? This week I've got mail from Colombia, Brazil, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, Australia, USA, France, Holland, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Sweden and more and more. And everyone loves Mariah! =) Here is what Jamie writes: ======================= Hi Anderz, this a friend from Colombia and I'm very confused about some news I saw last night,(this is really true). They started talking about the Pope and said that some poems were written for him in honor of his work as a mediator of God, so the Batican is planning a honor presentation which will recognize his good work. For that they have gathered the most important artists at this moment which they say are three and will be the ones to sing the poems already written to the pope. The artists are from Europe: Lucciano Pavarotti from latin America: Ricky Martin and from North America: MARIAH CAREY when they said that i couldn't believe it i was very surprised. so inmediately after hearing that i went to your site and I didn't see anything mentioned so I doubt it so please try to expand the information. But the point is that I want you to belive ME ABOUT WHAT I SAW . Because if this turns to be true it will rock!!! ======================= It surely would be cool! But I haven't heard anything about that, I don't have a Mariah loving source at the Vaticane. (Yet!) So if anyone heard about it, please let me know. Until then this is unconfirmed but cool. |

Sunday, 8th of November 1998 - Latin America tracklisting?![]() Guilherme, my man in Brazil, say he heard the #1's latin tracklisting would be: CD1: 1.My All 2.Honey 3.Always Be My Baby 4.One Sweet Day (with Boyz II Men) 5.Fantasy 6.Hero 7.Dreamlover 8.I'll Be There 9.Emotions 10.I Don't Wanna Cry 11.Someday 12.Love Takes Time 13.Vision Of Love CD2: 1.Sweetheart (pop version) 2.When You Believe with W.Houston) 3.Whenever You Call (with B.Mcknight) 4.I Still Believe (cover of a B.Starr song) *** BONUSTRACKS *** 5.Mi Todo (spanish version of My All) 6.El Amor Que Soñé (spanish version of Open Arms) 7.Heroe (spanish version of Hero) So I'm not sure about this, but it seems believable enough. |

Sunday, 8th of November 1998 - Other When You Believe promo single. I don't have a photo for this, but here is what my Israeli source Amit tells me: "I just saw the picture of the Single of When you believe here in the Israeli station Sony music that I used to work in. The picture is not like those ones you put on your page (this image from the movie), but its like that picture of Mariah and W.houston in the Studio, but much better.. its from the same set."
More cover news. Tom, who was at the taping of the When You
Believe video says that the cover of the single below - That picture is
like the screen that Mariah and Whitney are standing behind
at the beginning of the video. Then the screen lifts up when Whitney
starts singing.

Sunday, 8th of November 1998 - Whitney about Mariah again. Jian writes me this: ========================= In a satellite interview in Taiwan with Whitney Houston, Whitney mentioned about her collaboration with Mariah, that she loves working with Mariah and is looking forward to it again, not only in singing but in other fields such as talking, entertainment, movies and enterprising. ========================= Interesting! |

Sunday, 8th of November 1998 - Mariah, Adam Sandler. Although his humour is very childish, I must say that Adam Sandler is one of my favourite comedians. Eric writes me this story about a TV program yesterday, when he talked about Mariah: ======================== The adam sandler thing called adam sandler's last laugh was basically a movie special for the movie the waterboy. Anyway the special was about the plot of the movie. A kid who goes from being a waterboy(dork) to a huge football star where everyone likes him. So they were playting different videos and they played Honey and they were saying how Mariah changed to get where she is now and they showed a high school picture of Mariah (obviously to prove it). I think that Adam and Mariah are good friends because he invited her to the premiere which means they are friends or he likes her. ======================== I hope they are! The connection Mariah/Adam as I see it is that the producer for Mariah's 00 Soul movie has produced many of Adams movies, like The Wedding Singer. |

Sunday, 8th of November 1998 - Strange success for Sweetheart. This sure hasn't been the #1 song we all hoped for, it wasn't even released in USA, and JD's next single will not be Sweetheart. But lately it's been doing better with increased airplay for some reason. And Eric tells me it's gone from #8 to #16 and back to #3 on the BET video charts, how weird is that? |
|
|
Sunday, 8th of November 1998 - #1's tracklisting. This is what I think will be the tracklisting for Mariah's #1's album through out the world. Collectors will have to buy 4 different CD's (and big collectors 4 different LP's and cassettes too =), lets take it in alphabetic order:
|
|
Sunday, 8th of November 1998 - Thanx to Chris from Australia.

Sunday, 8th of November 1998 - Movie survey. The question was: This is an unusual survey. Imagine a huge movie theater with a big, big screen and great stereo sound system. Then all of Mariah's videos (about 40), her NBC special, MSG special, the two Tokyo concerts and the MTV Unplugged concert playing, would take about 10 hours. Would you pay 100 dollars to experience it? It would really be a dream come true for me, seeing Mariah on a big screen. I think I made an unfair questions in my survey because lots of people doesn't have $100 to spare. I should have asked something like "would you do the dishes at home for a whole month" or something! (I would definitly, because I do it anyway without getting to see Mariah in a cinema!) Anyway, 86 out of 134 people would pay $100! So can someone please volountair and hook this thing up? =) Now I need to think of another survey. |

Sunday, 8th of November 1998 - Whitney talking about Mariah. This was an interview in Singapore (how come so many people from Singapore Emails me? Pretty cool.), via satelite from New York. Thanx to Griffin for telling me about it: ===================== Introducing Whitney as the Diva with 5 octave range and one of the higgest selling recording artist of our time... and so is Mariah (they added). Host compliments Whitney on her new album and hairdo (Blonde)... Lawrence: What's up with your new girlfriend there! Whitney: Eyy... (giggles) What about her? Lawrence: You know Whitney, everyone dreamt of it but no one expexted that you would actually do a song with Mariah b'cos everyone suspected you 2 were rivals. Whitney: I, I don't know you know.. I never knew about a rivalry. I never really had one. I wasn't aware of it (stuttering quite a bit) so it was very easy for us to come together to do a song. (Introduces When You Believe and The Diva's new albums) Lawrence: You know when Mariah 1st burst on into the seen, comparisons to the incredible Whitney Houston came flooding in. Did that drive you crazy or were you cool with that? Whitney: No, I'm totally cool about it. I mean, Mariah can sing, it's not like the girl can't sing. The girl can go you know. So I'm flattered. She's got a great instrument.
(Commentary that Mariah surpassed Whitney qith #13 No. 1 Billboard hits
compared to Whitney's #11) |

Sunday, 8th of November 1998 - Divas Live #9 album in Europe! I'm at the Sony Music Europe site now and they write that Divas Live was #9 in Europe last week! Not bad! As usual Sony dominates the European album chart with 5 of the top 10 albums. |
|
|
Sunday, 8th of November 1998 - No Billboard award for Mariah. Mariah's My All video was nominated for a Billboard Music Video award in the category Best Jazz/AC Clip, but it lost to The Corrs "Dreams". But Paul Hunter did get an award for Director of the year, so it was kind of Mariah related. Paul directed the Honey video. (Hmm, that was over a year ago though.) |

Saturday, 7th of November 1998 - WYB cartoon version! My friend GOH KIAT WEE from Singapore bought the Prince of Egypt soundtrack yesterday and he made me some nice soundclips. One each of Mariah's and Whitneys verse of WYB, and also two of the cartoon version being sung by Michelle Pfeiffer and.. and... I don't remember right now. They're got really cute voices though. Here are links to the MP3 files for you to download:

Saturday, 7th of November 1998 - Big add for #1's record! Here's about Mariah's add in Vibe magazine, sent to me by CravinMC fanclub =============================== There is a huge advertisement for Mariah's "#1's" albums in the December 1998/January 1999 issue of Vibe Magazine with Foxy Brown on the cover. The advertisement reads:
THE POWER OF ONE I hope someone can scan the add and send it to me. |
|
|
Saturday, 7th of November 1998 - Mariah wants more questions! This is what they wrote on the www.mcarey.com site today: ===================== Thank you for all your amazing questions! Mariah would also like your questions for an event to be seen here on November 16th! ==================== So keep these questions coming! Thanx to Eric for the 411. |
|
|
Saturday, 7th of November 1998 - Someones gonna be rich! And that someone is those who get this promo package and can sell it! ========================== To promote the release of ‘Ones’, Sony UK is putting together a fabulous and extremely limited promo edition of the album, which features Carey’s many and generally fine dance mixes spread over nine records. =========================== I don't know if you've shopped at Esprit Records, but I can see how it will be "Extremly rare limited edition 9 record promo package - $500" =) Or something like that. |
|
|
Saturday, 7th of November 1998 - More photos from the Puffy party. I must say that Mariah looks absolutely stunning! But Derek seems to have eyes on someone else?
For lots more photos like this, and videos go to Evans Mariah MP3 site. |

Saturday, 7th of November 1998 - Billboard airplay. I just heard When You Believe debuted #51 on Billboard hot 100 airplay, I thought that was kinda low, becuase I clearly remember that Madonna's song Erotica debuted at #2 or something a few years ago. But clearly the rules have changed since then. The Alanis Morrissette song Thank U debuted at #43 on this chart, and then moved to #11 the week after. It's at #3 now. The reason WYB debuted lower than Thank U, although it was the "most added song in history", is probably because R&B radio does not count in the Hot 100 Airplay. It's much, much easier for "rock" kind of songs to be high on this chart, #1 this week is Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls, for the 15th week in a row. |
|
|
Saturday, 7th of November 1998 - Mariah's fans have good faith in WYB According to my survey, 84% of Mariah's fans think When You Believe will be a huge success for Mariah, 11% says maybe and only 5% says no. So lets keep our fingers crossed that not alot of you will be dissapointed! Certainly off to a good start I'd say. (When I'm writing this they play Hero on radio, I love that song!! And they're showing Baywatch with Pamela Anderson in slow motion on TV. Hmm, like you care.) |
|
|
Saturday, 7th of November 1998 - Look at this nice Mariah site! Mariah is truly worldwide, and here are some nice sites to prove it. Vany has a nice site in Brazil called "Mariah Carey Brazil". It's all written in portuguese. I don't understand that language much, but the site looks nice. I was supposed to have more sites here, but the other sites were at Xoom and Xoom seems to have deleted all their sites? Nothing seems to work at that place. |
|
|
Friday, 6th of November 1998 - WYB on a chart! This was the first chart I saw it on, on the Radio and Records Adult Contemporary (AC) chart it debuts at #24 this week. Thanx to Eric for the 411. |

Friday, 6th of November 1998 - Singaporeans get exclusive? GOH KIAT WEE from Singapore tells me that the Prince of Egypt soundtrack is already out there in Singapore. He saw it at the stores today and was so shocked!! It had two versions. One with Mariah's name first and the other with Whitney's first. Can someone else confirm this? |
|
|
Wednesday, 11th of November 1998 - Sweetheart mixes big floorfiller!! Europes most respected R&B magazine just updated their site, and Sweetheart (mixes) enters straight in at #3 on "The Club HOPPIN FLOORFILLERS CHART"!! This is a chart with 40 songs and is compiled by input from 200 english DJ's, so it's great being at #3! |
|

Wednesday, 11th of November 1998 - WYB lyrics mystery. Tomas makes me aware of the fact that the lyrics on the official www.mcarey.com site isn't the same as Mariah and Whitney are singing, did anyone else notice that? |
|
|

Wednesday, 11th of November 1998 - What happens on the 16th?? There's supposed to be yet another Internet questions and answers (Q&A) thing with Mariah on the 16th, has anyone figured out what it's about? |
|
Wednesday, 11th of November 1998 - This is how much I love Mariah!
I love her so much that I woke up 2 AM in the
morning, took my bike the 5 miles to school
in a snowstorm. Made up 50 questions to
ask her, and waited for the Mariah internet
chat to start!! Here is what I thought of it: 1. COOL!!! The video was da bomb, seeing Mariah talk and replying to questions for a whole hour!!! She should do this once a week!! Actually this was the best thing I've ever seen on the Internet. 2. A bit less cool! She didn't reply to any of my 50 questions, I can't understand why because they were so great, questions like "Please say wazzap to Anderz?", "If the movie 00 Soul is a success, will you be in 01 Soul, the sequel?", "What is your favourite song right now?", "What did you dress up as for Haloween this year?", "What do you think about the idea of a rap/R&B remix album of your songs?" And on and on.... did anyone else get a question answered? 3. Even less cool!!! I couldn't record the video! But I knew that so I recorded the sound instead, it cut off in the middle, but at least I got about 50 minutes of it - and made some MP3's of course!
Here they are: Live part 2, 20 minutes MP3 , about 3300 Kb. Live part 2, 18 minutes MP3 , about 2900 Kb. Or visit my Mariah Internet chat page by clicking here because it's much cooler. I hope Yahoo will have a transcript of this on their site, because I'm too tired right now to write what she said. The most interesting to me was that she has already recorded FANatic and there were more than one fan there and the fans were so sweet Mariah started to cry. And also she said she had never been on the Internet in her life. Thanx to Vijay for the images. |

Wednesday, 11th of November 1998 - Mariah Glamour top 10 woman! This is cool! Glamour magazine names its 10 Women of the Year at the Public Library. Mariah Carey and Tori Amos will be honored, as well as champion skier Picabo Street... |

Tuesday, 10th of November 1998 - Some official lyrics!! From the Sony site: 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 Romance 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've prayed With no proof anyone could hear In 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 knew we could Chorus: 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, (Now you will (3rd Chorus)) You will when you believe In this time of fear When prayer so often proves in vain Hope seemed like the summer birds Too swiftly flown away Yet now I'm standing here My heart's so full, I can't explain Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I'd say Chorus So in times when all your hope is gone And you go through life afraid In your heart there lies a hopeful song That is there to guide the way And all the hurt and all the pain You soon will learn was not in vain For all your prayers, they will be heard They'll come to pass through faith 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 |
