I love those sunglasses she used to wear. Random fact: Mariah was a smoker. When she lost two octaves on her voice she said she prayed to god that if she stopped smoking she could get them back. She stopped and got three octaves on her voice.
im not really a Mariah Carey fan but I have to say her acting here was great. I didnt expect that. Id like to think shes as nice as she seems on this film. Im really not into this kinda stuff usually. 5***** Thanks.
i love this movie i love the song of mariah ................in this movie............like a reflections child was so very love her mother,.,..... reflections of your love hav come to wither i though i done my best to memorize............
Are you slow!? He meant that the dude shouldn't be pressuring him for money when he obviously has food in his place and a place to lay his head! basically what member887 said. he aint starving so he damn sure can wait!
no she doesn't. whenever she writes songs she'll have someone sit with her on the piano and they'll start the melody and she'll tell them if she likes it or not.
Octaves are like on the piano. You have to know the note (a,b,c,d,e,f,g). You start at "A" when you get to "G" and start again at "A" it was one octaves. everytime you repeat again it counts as another octave. The most octaves any person can have are 8. There are only 8 "rounds" from "A" to "A". Do you get it? I made it too complicated didn't I?
I can see where the rotten tomatoes review comes from, in the acting by some of the actors, the lines being cheesy, and all. Mariah isn't too bad at acting, I've seen worse before. I love her music, though.
I really cannot remember for the life of me what interview she said it in. I regret no having favorited the video when I saw it because I have been looking for it but I cannot seem to find it. I do know that it was Mariah in the interview. I rememeber seeing the interview wuite a few times because I couldnt believe what I had heard! I'll keep my eyes and ears open and if I find it, I'll post it here!
A good actress can have multiple facial expressions instead of only "the baby smile" and "the blank confused look". A good actress is believable in what she says instead of talking in the same flat tone throughout a film. Mariah was not a good actress in this film. At least she redeemed herself in Precious, wish I could say same 4the dude playing Julian.
Did anyone notice how she starts out writing her song on the yamaha DX7, but when she's actually playing and singing the song she's on a different piano?
Not in every case...sometimes, it's the director taking things out last minute or putting things in that was never supposed to be there...all without the writer's consent....all the elements have to come together for it to work...where one is lacking, the others suffer sometimes...it is NEVER always the script..sometimes, it's even the viewer...something to think about...;}
I'm not a huge fan of mariah carey as a singer, but I don't think her acting is as bad as people say. But I can't believe it's max beesely, it's so odd!
she's losing her voice because of aging. its part of life if you're a singer. It also has to do with the fact that she does rest her voice. I mean, god bless the late Luther Vandross for giving her that tip but she does have to use it when she isn't so she won't lose it as fast. Notice how before she started "resting" her voice was superb? it's because she didn't rest, she practiced and trained more than she does now. I absolutely love her but I don't think she doing right by resting her voice.
Dont worry! I know when I heard her say that in the interview, I freaked out! I stared at my computer screen for like 5 mins. after the interview cuz' I couldn't believe it!
It really bothers me when singers smoke. It ruins their lungs and voices and it's like they're throwing away their talent that so many people wish they could have and wouldn't take advantage of like that.
I love Mariah Carey and I'm a true fan of hers but the acting in this movie was horrible, it's just a shame that she was going through personal struggles at the time, resulting in the movie and the soundtrack to be received poorly by critics; I just felt that it was bad luck for b/c the soundtrack was released during the attacks on 9 / 11.
i like her singing in this movie and I feel like they really tried but the delivery of her lines aren't that great. unfortunately. it's not that convincing. sorry! but I did cry at the end...so touching. :)
