“I’m at Central Park getting ready for Oprah, can’t wait for Nick to get home. KKLB! (to Nick) ”
She has just finished performing/ interviewing on Oprah, and details will be out soon, so check mariahdaily for updates on what She performed and what She told Oprah. She was reported to be performing one song, and talking to Oprah about Her new album and married life, but I’m hoping She performs more than one!

Mariah Carey  LIVE IN VEGAS
Mariah performed 2 of Her 4 planned live shows in Las Vegas last weekend (Friday and Saturday 11/12 September). Check the FB group or Mariahdaily for pics from the show. She looked gorgeous, and Her reviews were mostly glowing.
The Las Vegas Weekly wrote (in part):
“…her voice, put to work on new songs like the emotional ballad “Angels Cry” and guilty pleasure oldies like “Always Be My Baby,” sounded just as clear as it always has. You better believe that she can still hit those high notes, belt out the lower ones and do work all over her five-octave range.”
For more reviews and pics (including fan reviews), check Mariahdaily. Youtube also has audioclips of fan recordings of live performances from the concert. I Want to Know… sounds AMAZING live!!!

I WANT TO KNOW… ON US CHARTS
Billboard magazine:
“Mariah Carey reaches back for her 49th career entry on R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, as “I Want to Know What Love Is” arrives as the list’s Hot Shot Debut at No. 64. Foreigner’s original version of the ballad reached No. 85 on the chart, and No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, in 1985.
The second single from “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel,” due Sept. 29, adds to the singer’s catalog of covers. Carey peaked at No. 11 on R&B/Hip-Hop Songs with her update of the Jackson 5’s “I’ll Be There” in 1992. In 1994, her remake with Luther Vandross of Lionel Richie and Diana Ross’ “Endless Love” reached No. 7 on the chart. In 1999, Carey rose to No. 3 on R&B/Hip-Hop Songs with her take on “I Still Believe,” originally a No. 13 Hot 100 hit by her former employer, Brenda K. Starr.”
