Mariah Carries On

By Chris Gardner

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Mariah Carey (news) was riding high last week after she completed two shows at the Universal Amphitheater near Hollywood.


"It was a very feisty crowd tonight," Carey said Thursday, perched on a velvet couch in her dressing room after the second night. "Monday night was a fun crowd as well, so I was expecting more of an industry crowd tonight, and I was pleasantly surprised. Even though there were some industry people here, there were still so many real fans that it was a great show -- it didn't feel so corporate."


The songbird was in the midst of her first U.S. tour in three years (with 11 dates left to go), and thanks to the scaled-back settings, she couldn't be happier.


"I am having so much more fun onstage this time around because of the combination of being able to do the old songs, showcasing the new material and the energy of the audience," said Carey, who had just been belting out everything from "Hero" to "Honey" for ticket-holders including Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland (news), "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson and Prince, who also caught a piece of Monday's show.

He's more fond of a hot piece of ass though.

Prince must have went to check it out during the screening. She started about the same time as the movie.
