I met Mariah for this interview in 2001, for her Ill-fated Glitter biopic and soundtrack. We met once in the beginning of August in NYC, travelled back to Montreal, and noticed there was NOTHING ON THE TAPE! Her team was gracious enough to have us back two weeks later to redo the interview, which is why you'll hear Mariah ending the interview saying 'Give us the tape!'. Along with this technical flub, and the epic flop that was Glitter, the context was strange, as the soundtrack went basically unnoticed, having been released on September 11th, 2001, and Mariah was hospitalized for an emotional breakdown a week or so after this interview. Despite all this, this is one of my most memorable interviews ever - she was chatty, giggly (clearly sleep-deprived), sweet, candid, clever, barely clothed, in and out of character, and all-around fabulous.
