“Dewy and still damp from the shower, Mariah Carey has put on a little powder and a little mascara. Her big mane is wet and close to her scalp. She’s in blue boxers and a tank and is listening to old Stevie Wonder. It’s midnight, and we’re 40 miles north of San Francisco. While we split a bottle of merlot and munch on Monterey Jack cheese, Mariah seems very much like the kind of 28 year old who could sell more than 5 million albums when she was just out of high school. Since that 1990 introduction, she’s gone on to sell more than 80 million albums. Married a mogul almost twice her age. Got divorced before she was old enough to be too mad about it. Started and walked away from her own record label. Dated one of the best athletes in America. Always endured much mulatto melodrama … Now she’s recorded a big ballad with Whitney Houston as she prepares to release her new album, tentatively titled The Ones - a collection of all 13 of her No. 1 top singles, plus four bonus tracks. All this to say that the best-selling female recording artist of the decade seems confident yet slightly mystified. Ecstatic but slightly troubled. Expansive and slightly paranoid. Bossy yet gracious … She’s fighting a copyright lawsuit, getting ready to star in films, and still singing all the time. Miss Mariah—much dissed, much loved—makes jokes but isn’t one. Like her new single with Jermaine Dupri, she seems a big “Sweetheart.” But while she floats like a butterfly, one gets the impression she can also sting like a bee.”
