Mariah On Good Day Live
Mariah was also on Good Day Live this afternoon, a few hours after her Early Show appearance on CBS. Good Day Live was in Hollywood with co-host Trista from The Bachlorette. They broadcasted Mariah live from New York along with Randy Jackson. They were sitting in comfortable looking sofa chairs and Mariah was wearing a nice white top and blue jeans. They talked about Randy being on American Idol and saying that the contestants can't keep trying to be another Mariah because you can't copy someone so great ..(it sounded much nicer than that!) They talked about her & Randy working together, him being in the video, her upcoming tour, tabloids (not specific rumours) except briefly on Eminem where Mariah said he has a great life and successful career so yay for him (thumb up). Mariah was very funny throughout the interview :) They also showed clips of the BOTH video but only parts where she's on the stage.

Mariah: A 'Save The Music' Hero
(CBS) The Early Show’s “Save the Music” guest Thursday was the No.1 selling female artist of all time. Mariah Carey, who made a donation to the music campaign, has 15 No. 1 hit singles and was the only artist to top the charts in each year of the 1990s.
Carey as been one of Save The Music Foundation's longest supporters. She says when she was a kid she was not a stellar student but music kept her on track.
She tells co-anchor Harry Smith,“I really wanted to do what I like. What I loved was music. When they take the programs out of the schools, you might be missing an opportunity to get one of the most incredible talents that could emerge out of a school or whatever area. So I feel it's important to support Save the Music.”
On Thursday, she donated a microphone, which she says costs a small fortune, signed “Love always, Mariah.” Put your bid on eBay and it can be yours.
The daughter of a former opera singer and vocal coach, Carey began singing at the age of 4 and was writing her own songs by the time she was attending Olfield Middle School.
About her upbringing, she says, “Music was always important to me. My mom is a vocal coach, so I had it at home, too. I had a really cool music teacher who totally believed in me and would make me feel special. And so I like to give her a little bit of credit as well, because you need that encouragement. Maybe if they didn't have music programs, some of those kids wouldn't get that. We wouldn't have people like Jimmy Jam who is an all-around incredible person.”

Jam is a member of the ASCAP board of directors. Along with Terry Lewis, he has produced an astonishing 16 No.1 records and more than 40 top-10 hits. Jam has produced for the likes of Janet Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Patti Labelle, TLC, Usher and Mariah Carey.

Mariah Carey was part of the first Public Service Announcement series, raising awareness of Save the Music; she participated in the very first VH1 DIVAS LIVE benefit concerts in 1998 (and has performed in two others). She has donated items for annual auctions, made public appearances to speak out on behalf of the foundation and has visited public schools where music programs have been restored.
She says music has helped her through the tough times in her life. She explains, “The thing that I have tried to put into my music is the spirit of someone who stays with things and makes it happen despite adversity. Songs like ‘Hero’ or ‘Through the Rain’ are about survival.
"That's how I have gotten through my life. Music is something that has gotten me through every difficult situation, from ‘Charmbracelet,’ which is my emotional release, writing down everything I needed to say, singing from my heart, a healing process. That's why it's very important that we keep saving the music for kids like these.”
Next week, Carey kicks off her first world tour in three years in support of her current CD, “Charmbracelet,” which features the No. 1 selling single "Through the Rain" and the new single, "Bringing on the Heartbreak" which is a Def Leppard cover.
The “Charmbracelet” world tour starts in Seoul, Korea, June 21. The U.S. leg kicks off July 26 in Las Vegas. This is her first-ever theatre tour, a more scaled-down production that she wanted to provide a more intimate environment for her fans.
So she is asking fans to request their favorite songs on her Web site and she will use those choices to come up with her set list for each night.
Carey's “Charmbracelet” CD, released in December 2002,has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide and has topped the charts across the globe.
It is the first release of her own record label, MonarCMusic. Randy Jackson of "American" Idol fame, co-produced a lot of the album with Carey and is her musical director.
Carey's was recently honored at the Fresh Air Fund’s annual Spring Gala for her contributions to make sure kids from the city can get out to the country and go to camps.
