CELEBRITY QUOTES

Mary J. Blige: "I love Mariah Carey. Mariah Carey's music saved little ghetto children's lives. Songs like "Visions of Love" gave us hope and we would sing those songs and try to hit every note like Mariah -- which we can't. I don't think she knows what a big part she plays in Mary J. Blige's life. And then to meet her... she's such a beautiful person that you can't do anything but defend her when [the media] starts acting stupid on her. She doesn't deserve that." (Barnes and Noble interview)

Rihanna: "I used to sing 'Vision of Love' all the time in the shower, using my toothbrush as my microphone." (51st Grammy Awards Promo)

Beyonce Knowles: "'Vision of Love,' when I first heard that song, I knew it, my mind was made up - I had to be a singer." (MTV Europe)

Nelly Furtado: "The first singer I really got into was Mariah Carey when I was about 12. She kind of taught me how to sing 'cause, you know, couldn't really afford singing lessons. So, I would just listen to Mariah Carey's CD over and over again, and learn all her lyrics." (MTV Overdrive)

Whitney Houston: When asked if she remembered first hearing Mariah's music, Whitney replied by singing a line from "Vision of Love" and said, "Yep, I remember it. It was like, kinda, my tone, not quite me. Who is she?" (MTV interview with John Norris)

Nivea: "I was watching 'The Arsenio Hall Show,' and Mariah was performing 'Vision of Love.' The way she projected her voice, she just had so much power. I knew then that I wanted to make people feel the way she made me feel. I bought all her albums and learned all the songs. That's all I would do all day long sing Mariah Carey songs." (Yahoo! Music Interview)

Lucie Silvas: "I was obsessed. I remember the moment I first heard Vision of Love, then I saw this white girl with a black voice on television, and everything about her bowled me over. You could relate to her and yet she was a magical icon, and throughout my school days all I dreamed of was being like Mariah Carey. She sang with a gospel choir around her, which was always my dream. I just wanted to be her." (Guardian Unlimited)

Anastacia: "From her very first album till now her voice has been absolutely glorious to listen to. I am affected by every note she hits, which is practically every note on the keyboard." (Smash Hits)

Christina Aguilera: "I discovered Mariah in my room one day listening to the radio, and as soon as 'Vision of Love' came on, I ran downstairs going, 'Mommy, Mommy - I just found the greatest person in the world! I just heard the greatest new voice!'" (Entertainment Weekly)

Snoop Dogg: "I always tell her this story: When I was locked up in jail, that song 'Vision of Love' was the hottest song in the world. I used to always say, 'Man, if I could meet her!'" (MTV)

[beejereeno]

I'll always remember this performance, 'cause our choir director in school taped it and brought it in the next day for us to see. She was very into the fact that Mariah had male backup singers in this perf.

[CyprusHot]

@beejereeno how come? was it rare for male back up singers at the time? it is interesting because later in her career, she would always use women back up singers apart from her trey lorenz

[BoRiCuaQuESeXi]

Thank you for posting... Im so happy to have been blessed with great music from Mariah for the past 20+ years... Hopefully her next album gets better promotion... I'll always remember how when she used to come out with an album she'd be eeeeverywhere WE LAMBS HAVE TO GET HER BACK TO #1

[CyprusHot]

@BoRiCuaQuESeXi thanks lamb x

[rellenoz]

[CyprusHot]

@rellenoz was from her first album... she was the first artist to have so many number one's from her first album, made her famous ;)

[Angel0Martinez]

OMG I remember this performance, I can't believe it's been 21 years!

[nanniesparrow]

omggg she wass soo thin!! like her both ways... but i like her better now(:

[FreeXone]

wow albums back then looked cool.

[daydreams82]

Amazing! old-school is the best!

[TurboFuss1]

Just to think no one would knew how HUGE she'd become in the following years.

[dmunki12]

Mariah is still one of the prettiest women around, but the way she looked back then, I don't think there's ever been a better looking female to have ever walked this earth. I was just a kid when she first hit the scene, but I remember my jaw ACTUALLY dropping when I first saw her.

[theovanua]

Her 'single'... Dayumn, didn't notice how big singles were back then... LOL

[DunklenHerzen]

@truegossipglee

I can't tell if you're sarcastic and plain joking or literally for real....if you're for real, lord help you.

[piscesgirl98]

AMAZING!

[hkbuddy97006]

I so remember this album, I listened to it for months, I loved every song. I love the vintage Mariah.

[BigBlyeEyes1234]

It's easy to see why some fans are disappointed with 'modern' Mariah after hearing this. The standard of her performances have dropped.
