Extra's Pepsi Smash backstage interview
Mariah Carey has been dominating the charts for more than a year, and now she is taking that success on the road. Extra correspondent Jon Kelley was backstage with Mariah after a very successful Pepsi Smash Live concert at The Kodak Theater last Saturday. JK: It's the superstar's super sexy return to the stage. Only Extra was with red-hot Mariah as she warmed up for her "The Adventures of Mimi" concert tour - her first in three years.
MC: It was fun. It was really nice to be with the fans. JK: And Mariah breaks news to us she also hopes to reconnect with family as she criss-crosses the country.
MC: My brother was here tonight and that was cool. I haven't even spoken to anybody in so long. JK: Mariah's fans will hear all the megahits from her latest Grammy award-winning "The Emancipation of Mimi" album and music's top-selling female artist let us in on a little secret - she's also going old school.
MC: There are songs that are really big hits that I forget and I'm like, 'Oh we didn't do Always Be My Baby tonight.' We didn't do such and such tonight so you know, I'm gonna sing however I want. So that's kind of cool. JK: Her show will also include video vignettes directed by Spike Lee featuring Mariah performing with music moguls like Jay-Z and Jermaine Dupri.
MC: I'm getting ready to go tomorrow. I'm excited. JK: Mariah's road trip kicks off Saturday in Miami. (Mariah Daily)
