‘Make It Happen’ hitmaker Mariah Carey was found making her promo rounds this morning to discuss her family life, give dibs on new music, and discuss ‘Almost Home’ – her single from Disney’s ‘Oz: Great & Powerful’ soundtrack.
As fans await news on its David LaChapelle-directed visual, Carey took time from the ‘American Idol’ bench to chop it up with ‘Live! With Kelly & Michael’ and, as ever, the singer left a string of memorable quotes in her wake.
See what she had to say below:
May 2013
According to the singer’s official website, her new album – which features collaborations from The Dream, Rodney Jerkins, & Hitboy – is due May 2013.
Thanks to MariahDaily:

Mariah gurl love your personality and all.. but no matter how much you ask the interviewers to say that you are the biggest selling female artist of all time, it’ll never be legit or true.
Madonna IS the best selling female artist of all time. We ALL know it, so now stop.

Mariah doesn´t ask. Labels manage those things. And they do it with Celine Dion too. And obviously with Madonna. Are you mad she is one of the 4 most successful women in music history? Stay pressed

@FAG Bitch please, three years is more than enough time to get at least three #1 singles. and who will remember this “7x platinum” single 20 years from now?
Face it bitch, Nicki is just the flavor of the moment. she will never earn the respect and see as much success as Mariah has. So kindly remain seated.

Key word singles
Yes, Rihanna, Katy, Nicki, Flo Rida, Ke$ha, etc have all sold more singles than Mariah, go figure she has always been an album seller more than a singles seller.
Cling on to that Starships sales though
it IS the only thing going right for your fave commercially.

Rare how Kelly says Mariah is the best selling female artist of all times since she is a huge Madonna fan, i wonder when 200 million became more than 300.

I know tha you’re not shading Mariah. evryone knows that Madonna sold more records than Mimi and all the other females but I’ve gotten use to the interviewers saying that she is the highest seller but the stats prove otherwise so it’s somewhat pointless to go there. but that’s just me though….

I usually don’t watch her interviews, i didn’t know they introduces her like that, it’s okay though, she is one of the best selling musician in music history.

Biggest selling means albums AND singles. Madonna has sold more albums but Mariah’s single sales bring her to larger combined sales than Madonna.

Has Mariah outsold Madonna in the US? Maybe that’s what they are referring to. But isn’t that Barbra Streisand? meh i don’t know!

One time Ellen called Celine the best selling female artist. Maybe they don’t check? but all 3 surpass every other female by more then 100 Mil. (Even Queen Janet

Every Mariah Carey interview has “the best selling artist….” introduction. They do it for Celine as well. Get over it, obviously Madonna has sold more.
She looks great, has been looking great for a while now.

Celine CANNOT ever be called the best selling female artists of all time! Thats ridiculous.
Its between Mariah and Madonna and we probably will never know. So move on!

Overall madonna sold more records than mariah..thing is,i think they are basing their facts on soundscan (which began tracking numbers in 1991,when madonna was 8yrs in the game)…if it’s according to soundscan,then its true mariah is the bestselling female recording artist..whatever the case,those 2 are legends

Madonna sold more but had a longer time to sell it mariah sold 130 million by the time the 90s ended she may not be the best but she certainly is the fastest and another thing she has the most #1s by a solo artist period and spent more weeks at number one than any other artist in the history of recorded music if you think people didn’t buy those you are sadly mistaken!I love Madonna but her stans need to sit. Like mariah hasnt broken or made any record her net worth is outrageous she’s just now getting endorsements. She made her money solely off of her music….anyway Mimi making me wait 2 more months:(
