"return to 'Vision of Love' period"

D.I.Y.: Randy Jackson Answers Your Questions
By The Blackspot, BET.com Staff Writer

"American Idol" judge Randy Jackson made a welcomed appearance at BET the other day and we were able to hit him with the questions you posted. Look out for Randy`s book "What`s Up Dawg: How To Become A Superstar In The Music Business" hitting stores soon. Check out what he had to say.

mikemc84: Hey Randy, how are you doing? I hope well. I know that you and Mariah are good friends and that you work with her in the studio, and I was just wondering if your going to be working with her on her new album? And if so, what can we expect?

Randy: We just started working on a new record and I think you`re gonna see a lot of different stuff from her. We`re gonna pull out all the stops and try some different things. You gonna see her return to what she was doing years ago with the "Vision of Love" period. She`s already got a couple of hot joints already but we`re gonna take our time and make it right.


Peteyg84u: When Mariah Carey performed on "Saturday Night Live," was that you in the back with the flat top playing the keyboard?

Randy: That was me back in the day. Everybody has to go through those moment, I had many different doos: dreads, `fros in all colors, I had to experience mines. I like to try everything, that`s why cut it all off now. I can`t deal with it. It`s too much, man.

- - > Mariah`s Improved Bottomline

With her Charmbracelet tour just behind her, the five foot nine singer has been wowing the world with her newly chiselled figure and more sophisticated style. Her personal trainer, who`s been with Mariah for a while now,
Patricia Gay, tells us: “She`s lost weight and now looks younger and stronger.”<br>
- - > How She Lost Weight

Along with eating a healthier diet (full of chicken, vegetables, fish and fruit), Carey, 33, hits the pool several times a week for an hour of underwater leg lifts, arm circles and squats. “It tones up her arms, legs and butt,” says Gay.
As for those amazing abs, well “Mariah does Pilates twice a week to strengthen her stomach,” adds Gay.

It couldn't be any worse than Glitter

[PGCMc]

There's a rumour going round Mariah's considering Lolly Pop as the title of her next album I laughed my head off when I heard she was calling the last album Charmbracelet which I suppose did grow on me but there's no meaning for Lolly Pop I can't imagine her saying *as a child I used to suck Lolly Pops they bring back great memories*

Unusual a nice review of Mariah

ASK MEN RATES MARIAH

why we like her?
One look at her in the "Heartbreaker" video makes our hearts flutter. An accomplished artist, Mariah proves that you can have a beautiful voice, be a great songwriter, and be hot.


why is she famous?
Mariah Carey`s rise to glory began in 1990 with her hit song "Vision of Love." After several successful follow-up albums, she has grown to become a household name, as well as a diva of our era.

Overall Rating 80
Mariah Carey has one of the best voices in pop music (or hip-hop, depending on your opinion), combined with one of the best attitudes. She isn`t as innocent as she once marketed herself to be, but we have nothing against bad girls.


As the saying goes, "all that glitters is gold," and Mariah`s been producing gold since her first release. She was one of the world`s top recording artists throughout the 1990s, setting records for most No. 1 singles by a female artist (she has 15), to most consecutive weeks at No. 1 with "One Sweet Day," her collaboration with Boyz II Men (the single still holds that record). Her chart accomplishments resulted in Billboard magazine naming her "Artist of the Decade" for the `90s.


But the new millennium hasn`t begun as well for the diva. In addition to a severe case of food poisoning and a breakdown resulting from extreme exhaustion, Mariah`s film debut in 2001`s Glitter was less than stellar, at least judging by the box-office results. But we could never expect a woman as talented and determined as Mariah to be down for too long.


Personality 90
She may come off as a prima donna in her interviews, but her heart is in the right place when it comes to her fans. Carey`s devoted to the people who put her on top. She donates her time and money to "Camp Mariah," where inner-city kids get to spend time in the country, embrace the arts and introduce career opportunities. She`s even been known to show up at the camp to hang out with her young fans.



Sexiness 80
She is sexy and has some of the sexiest music videos around. Remember the "Fantasy" and "Honey" videos? She may have gained a few pounds here and there recently, but she still oozes with sex appeal in every award show appearance and on every album cover.


Accomplishments & Fame 95
She has been extremely successful as a singer, and has co-written many of her biggest hits. She has sold millions and millions of albums worldwide. She may be considered a pop diva, but her singles have crossed over to top the R&B and adult contemporary charts too.


Between 1990 and 2000, she has had 15 No. 1 singles on Billboard`s Hot 100 Singles chart; that`s twice as many as Janet Jackson had during the same period, and more than Madonna, Whitney Houston and Celine Dion combined. Her first four singles all reached the pop summit, while her 1995 duet with Boyz II Men, "One Sweet Day," still holds the record for most weeks at No. 1, sitting tight for an incredible 16 weeks.



Natural Beauty 75
Mariah Carey`s mixed ethnicity of Venezuelan, Irish and African-American combine to create her unique beauty. She has chubbier cheeks because of the weight gain, but her face is still as pretty as the first day we saw her.


She`s got a terrific smile that makes her whole face light up. Mariah`s still a "Dreamlover" to us.

Personal Style 61
Mariah Carey is known for her ultra-tight jeans, sexy halter tops and slinky, revealing dresses. Perhaps she will soon realize that it`s possible to reveal her body and look somewhat conservative simultaneously. Whatever the case, we`d prefer it if she dressed more like a diva to match her diva songstress status.
