Title: Westlife or Westcoast?
Source: Herald Sun, Melbourne | Mariah Australia
Updated by: Joe
THE footy is back, and there's no getting around the disturbing similarities
between AFL clubs and pop stars.
Sydney = Westlife: Momentarily captured the imagination via leggy
blondes (Leanne Edelsten/Claudia Schiffer's Uptown Girl cameo) and
tight short wearers (Warwick Capper/a Mariah collabo). Bored their
way to glory, but unlikely to navigate those lofty heights again.
West Coast = Murder Inc: As Aussie and US cops investigated allegations
of drugs, alleged links to organised crime and in-fighting,
it's been mighty tough distinguishing Irv Gotti's empire from Woosha's
this past year.
St Kilda = Christina Aguilera: Everyone's second favourite team/popstrelle
have teased with glimpses of form (major glimpses in the
Dirrty clip). Despite huge talent, neither possess the mettle to
outlast their rivals.
Adelaide = Jessica Simpson: The Crows lost Carey as Simpson ditched
Lachey, yet somehow, steered by bogans lacking credentials (Neil
Craig and papa Joe Simpson), they managed to surge in '05.
Port Adelaide = Coldplay: Like Chris Martin, Warren Tredrea is almost
the best in the biz when on song, but is plagued with inaccuracy
when the pressure's on.
Melbourne = Human Nature (again): Sure, there's some talent, but both
are battlers with a glossy makeover. Last year, the Dees broke
their odd-year finals curse, while the 'Naitch also defied logic
as their Motown album blew up.
Kangaroos = Pete Murray: The battler's battler, plugging away without
any obvious talent before landing inexplicable 2005 success that
is likely to be nothing but a fond memory in a few years.
Geelong = Mariah Carey: Redefined glamour in the '90s before apparently
losing the plot. Amazingly managed to return to a position
of stability and success last year!
Next week, the bottom eight.

Just a quick not to let you all know that the new and improved lyrics section is now up and available for view!
Sorry it took so long! Enjoy! :D
Title: Mariah's Workout Bummer
Source: MX | Mariah Australia
Updated by: Joe
Mariah Carey has a problem - her rear end is fading fast.
She's working out and looking great, but all this sweat has come at
a cost for the Grammy Award-winning star.
``Everyone said I was fat so I did something about it,'' she said.
``I've been working out like mad.''
And as if to prove her point, Carey, 35, challenged members of the
media to assess her physique for themselves, hello
magazine.com reports.
``You can even punch me in the stomach and feel how tight that is,''
she said.
``But I've gotta slow it down because someone told me I was losing
my arse - and I don't want to lose that.''
Carey reportedly stopped traffic at the Champs Elysees in Paris by
appearing in a thigh-skimming, bright pink raincoat to film her
latest video, Say Somethin'.
And with curves or without, she's still a popular identity in Paris,
where she was mobbed by fans as she left the Four Seasons hotel
- this time attired rather more demurely in a cream coat dress.
She smiled gamely as minders helped her through the throng.
While Carey ponders how to preserve her posterior, don't go feeling
too sorry for the comeback queen.
The California vineyard she bought last year is reportedly going great
guns, and fans can now buy the Mariah Mendocino Ridge Zinfanded
online.
And while only time will tell whether Carey's drop will be as good
as fellow celebrity vintner Francis Ford Coppola's award-winning
wines, the signs so far are good.
She's already picked up the Scott Zweisel Silver Award in the San
Francisco Chronicle wine competition.

Each day, Channel V do a countdown of 25 songs, all based around a common title or theme. Today's topic was 'Your going out in that?!'.
Mariah's 'Loverboy' charted at #11, while 'Get Your Number' came number three!
Although this isn't the greatest title for the song, it's good that Loverboy is still making it onto channel V, which inturn equals more publicity for Mariah!

Well it seems that 'Get Your Number' has staying power after all, only dropping one spot to number twenty. 'Dont Forget About Us' leaves the top fifty.
On the Urban Charts, 'Get Your Number' remains at number six, 'Dont Forget About Us' also retains last weeks position of number fifteen, and 'Shake It Off' bows out of the chart.
On the album front, The Emancipation of Mimi continues its steady downward slide on the Urban chart, dropping one spot to number nine. The Emancipation of Mimi failed to chart on the standard album charts for the second week running. Looks like this is the end of TEOM's chart run, but after 47 weeks, it wasn't half bad!

Updated by: Joe
MARIAH Carey kept her comeback going yesterday, picking up best album
and best single honours at the annual Soul Train Music Awards.
Carey nabbed awards for best-female album with The Emancipation of
Mimi and best-female single with We Belong Together.
``This has been the biggest and most successful year of my life,''
said Carey, who returned last year after dominating the pop charts
for much of the 1990s.
A year ago, Carey's career looked to be fading following a handful
of debacles that included a contract buy-out by Virgin Records.
``You know that whatever doesn't kill you will make you stronger,''
she said.
Chris Brown claimed the award for best new rap artist for his album
Run It.

"Jack is a swimmer so he gets obsessed with anything to do with water,
even if I'm taking a shower he'll try to knock on the door
and come and stand in the shower. If I'm running a bath all of a
sudden I'll hear a splash and Jack will have jumped into the tub!"
- Mariah Carey on Jack, who happens to be her dog.

Title: ARIA Update - Feb 26-Mar 04, 2006
Source: ARIA | Mariah Australia
Updated by: Joe
'Get Your Number' makes it's debut this week, landing at the #19 position on the singles chart. This isn't a bad debut, however UMA could have done more for the single, mainly by giving us a new cover that wouldn't be confused with the older 'Shake It Off'. 'Dont Forget About Us' continues it's decline out of the top 50, losing ten positions to fall to #47 this week.
On the Urban Single Chart, 'Get Your Number' is the only debut this week, and takes the #6 position. 'Don't Forget About Us' falls one spot to #15, while 'Shake It Off' falls two to #34.
On the album front; in it's 47th week, 'The Emancipation of Mimi' disappears from the top 50 again. However, the album still remains strong on the urban chart at #8. The album has left the top 50 once before only to return a week later. Hopefully the support of Get Your Number will be enough to return the album back to the chart.

Title: Review: 'Get Your Number' Video
Source: Herald Sun, Melbourne | Mariah Australia
Updated by: Joe
MARIAH Carey videos never let you down when it comes to her fabric-dodging.
Here she pours herself into a canary yellow PVC dress that
looks like something from the lost-property box at Hugh Hefner's
house.
When she's not posing on a novelty-sized telephone (get
it, it's called Get Your Number) wearing, well, not much, she's
in a pink business suit, straddling a huge couch and minus those
pesky pants. Oh, Mariah.
Of Note: Cameron Adams wrote this review, and until recently he was very favorable towards Mariah Carey and her music. Recently however, this has changed. The result has been bad publicity by Cameron.
To leave feedback to the Herald Sun regarding Cameron's obvious bias towards Mariah, visit www.heraldsun.com.au and select 'Post Your Feedback' in the services menu on the left hand side.
