Carey keeps promise to 12-year-old singing sensation
Mariah Carey lived up to the promise she made a 12-year-old Hawaiian fan in March 2005 when she helped launch his singing career on pal Oprah Winfrey's TV show yesterday. The pop superstar thrilled Paul Robbins on his 12th birthday earlier this year when she capped off his appearance on the Oprah show by offering him the chance to record a song she had written especially for him.
And the pre-teen wannabe got the chance to show off his amazing voice when Carey and Winfrey invited him back to perform the tune I Pray. Carey says, "I tried to morph myself into the mindset of a kid like Paul. I just hope that people who hear it (the single) enjoy it and sense the pure heart that he has when he sings. I feel like that's gonna shine through." (Contact Music)
