She's a fantasy. She's a butterfly. She's a rainbow-colored daydream, and she's coming to an arena near you. That's right. This March 16, Mariah (isn't it about time she dropped that last name?) Carey embarks on her first national tour in seven years.
Her performance at this year's American Music Awards - where her friend the rapper Nas joined her onstage for thier hit duet , "Thank God I Found You (Remix)" - offered insight into how a little girl from Long Island, N.Y., became hip-hop's answer to Celine Dion. She has a reported eight-octave voice. She looks great. And she's having fun. Pop stardom suits her. She wears it well. (Vibe)
