The Meaning of Mariah Carey

De: Mariah Carey

Narrado por: Mariah Carey

It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. Though there have been countless stories about me throughout my career and very public personal life, it’s been impossible to communicate the complexities and depths of my experience in any single magazine article or a 10-minute television interview. And even then, my words were filtered through someone else’s lens, largely satisfying someone else’s assignment to define me.

This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

Writing this memoir was incredibly hard, humbling and healing. My sincere hope is that you are moved to a new understanding, not only about me, but also about the resilience of the human spirit.

Love,

Mariah

this book is great

love it I listened to the whole book in one day. I couldn't stop listening Mariah is a great story teller.

Emocionante, divertido y trascendente

La historia real de Mariah no es la de una diva con vida llena de lujos y excesos. Este libro te acerca al ser humano que se esconde tras el maquillaje, los vestidos y su pelo perfecto ondeando frente a un ventilador.

Escuchar su historia de su viva voz es íntimo, divertido, emocionante y especial. Ver como sus letras reflejan su historia y escuchar cómo te las canta a cappella es impagable. Una experiencia incomparable la de este audiolibro. Escucharla tatarear éxitos e incluso canciones inéditas pone los pelos de punta.

Hija de una madre blanca y un padre negro, la historia de Mariah es la de una niña pobre que intenta encontrar su lugar en un mundo racista y rodeada de una familia dañada y desestructurada. Con unos hermanos mayores traumatizados y llenos de ira que, en lugar de protegerla, dificultan su existencia, Mariah encuentra refugio en la música, su auténtico don.

El libro es una historia de fe, trabajo, amor y sueños. Es el testimonio de alguien que se aferra a sus creencias y su objetivo y no lo abandona a pesar de las dificultades. Su historia amor con la música define el libro. Su necesidad de encontrarse, de atreverse a ser ella misma, la valentía de enfrentarse a hombres poderosos y personas que fingen amarla, pero solo buscan beneficiar sus propios intereses.

Lo recomiendo totalmente. Es muy iluminador, se hace muy ameno y sus anécdotas con personajes de la talla de Whitney, Aretha Franklin, Luis Miguel, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder o Prince te deja con ganas de más. Vale la pena escucharlo.

Wonderful.Inspiring.Faithful

Mariah made me appreciate life, family and our loved ones more and most importantly is that never ever let anyone put down your dreams.!

Wow, great story, intelligent and nicely written!

Stumbled on this and gave it a try and really enjoyed listening to the whole story. Intelligently written and beautifully narrated. Looked forward to listening to continue hearing the story. Well done! Had no idea of her life story and all the struggles. Loved hearing about the early years in NYC.

An eye opening experience!

I love Mariah and I always have, but never really knew how she came to be and what it meant for her to be Mariah. This was an amazing book and truly inspired.

Lamb for Life ♡

Mariah's story is compelling and inspiring. No one could have done this audiobook better than the Queen herself.

Mariah Unveiled.. Daaawling.

I grew up listening to Mariah Carey and looking up to her as an idol… Mariah, I love you and would die to have your autograph on this book!! ;)

This book really reveals Mariah’s crazy beautiful life from beginning to now and gives a deep dive into all of the things that you heard about in the media but never really knew the real story.
I could listen to Mariah read this a million times because her voice is so soothing. I love when she starts singing throughout parts of then audiobook it just reinforces how f*ing talented she is.. no wonder she’s the queen of #1 hits!
I love you Mariah! This book is amazing.

Best Book EVER

I don’t consider myself a Lamb. I like Mariah’s music but she’s always seemed like a bit of a diva to me so I was kind of pit off by her as a celebrity. She also seemed a bit odd.

This book answered A LOT of my questions on her life and gave me a better understanding of everything I’ve seen as an outsider looking in. This book has given me a newfound respect for Mariah and everything she has faced in life.

I absolutely LOVE when celebrities take the time to narrate their books. It makes it more interesting and heartfelt and Mariah does NOT disappoint! This is like an Audible Exclusive Words + Music but 100 times better!!!

Love love love. Highly recommend!!
