"I consider myself a survivor and a very optimistic person, nobody discourages me"

Singer, lyricist, producer, actress and philanthropist, Mariah Carey is back on the crest of the wave. After a hit album (Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel) and single (Obsessed), and following appearances at President Barack Obama's inauguration ceremony and Michael Jackson's funeral, the pop star has now returned to the cinema screen in Precious, where she plays a social worker trying to help an adolescent single mother, who is pregnant with her second child.

Seated on the sofa in a small lounge in a Beverly Hills hotel, the great diva sips an espresso while her makeup artist applies the final touches for the photo session. Venus Mimi, as her friends call her, looks relaxed and contented. She is in a good mood, and is keen to talk about her latest work in front of the movie camera, her music, her philanthropic work (the singer has made generous contributions to organizations like the Fresh Air Fund and the Make A Wish Foundation) and, in passing, her underprivileged childhood. After her role in Precious, she is now releasing Angels Advocate, a collection of duets with some of her favorite artists.

What does it mean for you to go back to acting?
Finding new expression for the other side of my creativity, which I haven't been able to show until now. Working on Precious was an extraordinary opportunity to bring out the other part of what's inside me.

Do you identify in any way with Precious, the film's protagonist?
I'd say I do, yes, because when I was small I always considered myself different from everyone else. When you come from an interracial family – my father is Afro-American and my mother is white – it's very hard to blend into a group. People don't consider you either black or white, so I always felt very isolated.

What would you say you are?
My mother taught me to answer that question by saying I'm multiracial. The term then became 'biracial'. What people are afraid of saying is that they're half black and half white, so they have to invent exotic names to define themselves or feel more easily accepted.

MC'S VOCALS IN SCHOOL GYRLS SONG

MC nazpívala vokály k songu Get Like Me pro debutové album School Gyrls. To by mělo vyjít 16. dubna. MC s Nickem se na napsání songu podíleli.

The School Gyrls latest single "Get Like Me" from the group's upcoming self-titled debut album is being released digitally on March 16th. The song was co-written by Nick Cannon and Mariah and even features Mariah on background vocals.

The School Gyrls talk about working with Mariah:

Since you work so closely with Nick, do you get to hang with Mariah Carey at all?

Mandy: We actually got to met her for the first time at Nick's house. When I met her, she was like, "You're Mandy Rain right?" And I was like, "Uhhhh..." [Laughs] She replied with, "I heard [School Gyrls soundtrack tune] 'Detention.' Girl, you are a powerhouse!" I was speechless!

Monica: Miss Mariah Carey has definitely been supportive of the School Gyrls. She actually features on one of our songs called "Get Like Me." It was written by her and Nick. When we were recording the song, she was very hands-on with the sound–like, for example, if the music changed she would be concerned about it. [Laughs] She also came to visit us on set while [we were] filming the movie. She's super sweet and we are so very blessed that we got to work with such an amazing, beautiful, singer.
