"I wouldn't want to speak to those people specifically, but I would say you need to be very centered, and spiritually know where you're at, all the time. Don't read the tabloids. Don't be obsessed with what people are writing or saying. Live your life for you. My lifestyle has changed since making it. It's not a financial struggle, but I'm still struggling in a lot of ways," said the Grammy Award-wining singer.

"Early on in my career, because I had acheieved material success and realized my dreams, I thought it was OK that I was unhappy in my personal life. It took me a long time to acknowledge that my personal feelings mattered. Now the struggle is to keep creating music I love. Even is that wasn't my job, it would be something that I would do, either to write songs or poetry," she added.

    Mariah is proof you can sell your soul to the devil to make it big. A big butt %@!*# who can carry a tune and people idolize her. She can sing people that's all. I don't like her music. She acts vain, she's conceited, BORING, materialistic and shallow. And she is idolized for it. Broaden yourselves, people! There are much better things to be fanatic about, than a singer who acts like she's easy.

    Mariah needs to mind her own business. She's being hyprocritical. No doubt she's done the same thing, but didn't get caught.

    To the ag: Please clarify "washed up"!!!!! Washed up how!!! Washed up when!!! Mariah is a fanstastic singer. Your stupid statement makes it seem like her life was sooooo troubled that she's "washed up". Hmmm, I don't think so. I agree with Maria O.
