Features

Mariah Carey is 27, and you really can call her a spoiled goat. A pop star, who sold 80 millions records with voice and soft-ballads...a relationship built on the typical columns of the upper-class: sex and money. Mariah, at that time 18 years old, made Tommy, at that time around 40, young again and secured his presidential seat with her chart successes. He, a multi-millionaire, stuffed dollars into her career and into her wardrobe.

Mariah Carey was supposed to be the Princess of Pop, but somewhere along the way she become the songbird in the gilded cage. And then she flew away.

Despite a recent marriage split, Mariah Carey is pretty relaxed these days. In fact, so relaxed she likes to do her interviews in bed.

FOUR years ago, after her first concert special on television, Mariah Carey retreated to her New York home and tried to put her career into focus.

Even by the standards of the wild and woolly music industry. Tommy Mottola, chairman of the $5.9 billion Sony Music Entertainment, plays by his own rules. Robert Sam Anson spins the Mottola story: his fanciful Mob voguing, the vengeful plans of his former mentor, Walter Yetnikoff, and his Svengali-esque marriage to top Sony star 26 year old Mariah Carey.

You have to admit it, they're not exactly the most traditional husband and wife: a 46 year old corporate and a 26 year old pop superstar. But for three and a half years now, Mariah Carey and Tommy Mottola have been enjoying one sweet marriage.

Singer Mariah Carey Didn't Climb to the Top. She Soared

At a nightly cost of about $65,000 the Fantasy Lounge is the after-show greeting-room for this decade's biggest selling artist, Mariah Carey, who has, with very little fanfare, embarked on her first world tour.

At 21, Carey is still very young, but she's no longer going hungry, crying herself to sleep or desperately knocking on record company doors.

Mariah Carey has the air of an ambitious teen-ager who was forced to grow up too fast. One-half diffident youth, one-half brusque sophisticate, she seems to be a woman who doesn't believe in wasting words. And her shyness is only partly concealed by the determined set of her jaw.

When Mariah Carey recently won two Grammy Awards, it was a fairy-tale ending for a pop-music Cinderella. The 21-year-old New Yorker was a complete unknown just a year ago. But bolstered by her Grammys -- for best new artist and best female pop performance-- her debut album has held the No. 1 spot on the pop charts for the last seven weeks.

MARIAH CAREY has a score to settle. Last summer, soon after her debut recording started racing up the record charts, she says a music critic referred to her as "another White girl trying to sing Black." Carey, indisputably the hottest new artist of the year, was infuriated.

Mariah Carey is gazing out the window of her 21st-floor Manhattan apartment -- and complaining about the view, of all things. The height, she says sometimes makes me dizzy. That may well be, but these days there's probably a better explanation for her spinning head.
