• Music: this has been the transformation of Mariah Carey in recent years
  • Megahit: Maria Carey has not spoken to the coatutor of 'All I want in Chritsmas is you' for 20 years

Mariah Carey had big plans for 2020. We say it in the past because, as it is, keeping the forecasts for months on end may already be a reckless assumption, more fraught with hope and good will than contact with reality. But if things did not go wrong, in November of this year it would be when, in theory, the R&B diva will publish its authorized memoirs , coinciding with the celebration of its 50th birthday . With no new album in sight, and no other tour on the horizon for now, this would be the highlight of his season, the bombast with which he would satisfy fans' hunger and continue to swell his bank account.

Carey had made the official announcement late last year, even indicated the title - I had a vision of love, in tribute to the 1990 song with which he started his career and catapulted him to instant fame - and had promised that, in the text, there would be everything that could be expected from an intimate confession: all kinds of gossip, settling of accounts and revelation of weaknesses - such as his way of coping with the bipolar disorder that he was diagnosed in 2001 and that he had carried almost secretly , and which partly explains the chaotic management of his career-, a bit like Elton John , which is the type of book that readers ask for, and which can only be published by those who already have it all earned and, furthermore, You have nothing to lose.

It remains to be seen if the coronavirus pandemic crisis allows the dates to remain. Currently, the publishing industry in the United States is closing ranks and postponing titles until an indefinite date -especially those that were scheduled for this spring-, and although November still falls far, it is better not to get your hopes up. Mariah Carey, like so many other people, lives locked up in her house these days and doing voluntary quarantine, accompanied by Monroe and Moroccan , the twin daughter and son she had with the comedian Nick Cannon in 2011.

In his own way, and unable to stop attracting attention, he has taken advantage of the confinement to interact on social networks with his fans and share reflections and videos. In one of them, originally published on the TikTok network , he washes his hands with his children; in another, she puts on makeup and dresses green to the rhythm of trap to celebrate the feast of St. Patrick. There is nothing special about Mariah Carey doing it - almost everyone, whether out of boredom, narcissism or wanting someone to listen to her in a particularly lonely moment, is pouring out her trifles on the net - but in her case has achieved results of a million dollar reach, surely it is being the most viral pop star (sorry) of the sanitary isolation.

He has also done it via Twitter , where he recalled that he was once in quarantine after his sister was diagnosed with AIDS -that was when he wrote his hit One Sweet Day (1995) -, and shared the concerns of his daughter Monroe , fascinated by the fact that people scratch toilet paper in supermarkets . So when the crisis passes, she will emerge stronger, having further intensified her reach as an entertainment star. Surely, it was not the way he planned to celebrate his 50th birthday - he will celebrate this Friday, March 27 - but he will find a way to make it special.

Carey's life has been tumultuous, but lately she has finally struck a balance. She has had stratospheric successes and shameful failures, has been at # 1 most listened to singles and best-selling albums for months, and has suffered - in true Prince style - the status of a slave in the service of a predatory record industry. He has failed love four times, and has risen four times: He currently shares his life with choreographer Bryan Tanaka, and the relationship seems the most solid of his love record. He has known the glory and the public scorn, but he has done everything without any decrease in his income. Other things may fail, but Mariah's affordable safety mattress is indestructible.

Carey's accumulated fortune in his 30-year career is estimated to be around $ 500 million gross - the lowest calculation leaves him at approximately $ 320 million. Of that amount, only 60 correspond to the income of his Christmas mega-success, All I want for Christmas is you , which each year generates a couple of million in royalties . The Elizabeth Arden perfume that she supported with her image in 2007 has generated 150 million, and in two years, between 2015 and 2017, she invoiced 30 million for her performances in Las Vegas. Add the records, the tours and the publicity, and you will understand why, whatever happens with the virus, Mariah Carey does not need to leave home anymore, and that is why she has so much fun shooting videos in the bathroom .
