 Mariah Carey: People thinks ditzy moron
The 37 year old Grammy winner, Mariah Carey knows her talent clashes with her sexed-up image as a "ditz." She told, "It's a dichotomy, I understand. I understand that people think I am a ditzy moron".
The singer, Mariah Carey, who was under treatment for exhaustion in 2001 after a public meltdown, says she still struggles with her confidence.
She said, "I've always had really low self-esteem, and I still do. What's weird about that is being onstage, and the love that you get, and the adoration that you feel from your real fans. It's hard for a partner to compete — just imagine".
Mariah Carey divorced her husband Tommy Mottola, the former chairman and CEO of Sony Music Entertainment in 1997. She said, "I had to make a decision, either lose myself completely or learn to stand up for myself. You have to be very courageous to do that".
The singer said that she would marry again — preferably, to someone who knows where she's coming from. She said, "That's a big deal for me, feeling like somebody else can't fully understand me because they're not in show business. It shouldn't matter, but it does, because the energy it takes to be `on' is a lot".
Mariah Carey's latest album, "EMC2", will arrive on April 15. Her previous album, "The Emancipation of Mimi," has sold 10 million copies. |
