Mariah Carey Edges Past Elvis

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music

Although I knew this day would eventually come, I still have a hard time believing it’s finally happened.  Mariah Carey has just now surpassed The King.

Mariah’s latest single, Touch My Body, just became the Number One song on Billboard’s Hot 100.  This achievement gives the 38-year-old singer a total of eighteen #1 hits on those charts, edging her right past Elvis Presley.  (He was holding reign at 17.)  With a few more years under her belt, she may one day pass The Beatles as well.  (The Fab Four clock in at 20 toppers.)

While I will fully admit that I like many of Carey’s songs, I find it strange to even think of her musical library being in the same realm as those two legends.  Will her songs eventually stand the test of time?  Which one of her singles could possibly compare to something like Let It Be or Can’t Help Falling in Love?

Carey’s next album, E=MC2, will be released on April 16.

Mariah Carey Considers Herself a Prude

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Clothing, Style, Photos, Editorials

Many words come to mind when I think of Mariah Carey—and “prude” isn’t one of them.  But that’s just what the singer would like you to believe.

In an interview with Allure magazine, the diva not only compared herself to a beloved Disney character (“I’m Mary Poppins: I’m what the buttoned-up girls are supposed to be.”), she goes on to call herself “freakin’ prude.”

Now before we go any further, here’s the definition of that word according to Dictionary.com:  “A person who is excessively proper or modest in speech, conduct, dress, etc.”

I just want to make it clear - I personally don’t care if Mariah is or isn’t modest, I just want to make sure she uses the term correctly.  I mean, we’ve all seen her go shopping without a bra on.  We know the lyrics to Touch My Body and Honey.  Her videos like to feature her in lingerie…or in the bathtub.  And how about the skimpy party outfits?  (You can check out a gallery of some of her photos, after the jump.)

Now if she believes the word prude to mean “woman who wants to look good and doesn’t care what you think” then maybe we’d have something.
