Mariah Carey: Nick Cannon Would Be A Great Dad

Wed, 09 July 2008 at 7:29 am

Mariah Carey grabs hold of her husband Nick Cannon in the latest cover photo spread in Elle. Here are a few more interesting quotes pulled from the article:

On Nick, who’s ‘motivated by faith’: “We really do share a similar spiritual outlook on life… Even though people have their own fears about ‘Was I in a relationship before this, was I not in a relationship before this,’ to me, I wasn’t in a real relationship; it was more of a friendship and a working situation.”

On the importance of her future kids living in ‘reality’: “You can get caught up in Hollywood-land or celebrity-land, and that’s maybe not the best thing for kids, ’cause they didn’t ask for it. Speaking for myself, I don’t know that I always felt safe and secure [as a child] — and that’s nobody’s fault; we’re not mudslinging or trying to slay anybody — but truly I really feel like it’s very important to be responsible and to think, Well, maybe if I do this it’s not the best thing for my child. You have to take a backseat a little bit, and as someone in the public eye, you’re not used to doing that…. I couldn’t imagine anybody that I’ve ever met being a better dad [than Nick].”

well - at least Nick’s “good side” is the opposite of Mariah’s “good side” otherwise they could never be photographed this way. Mariah only likes the right side of her face photographed. Google images of Mariah and you will see most of them all are showing the right side of her face or at an angle - very rarely head on. It’s SOOOOOOO annoying.

I do not like her, she is so fake from her body to her personality. She has changed a lot from the Mariah back then when she was beautiful and I loved her music. I can not stand hearing her voice in music or interviews.

She looks great but I wish she’d choose to pose with more clothing on in such photos. She has a great body but that doesn’t mean she has to put it out there all the time. I know sex sells, but her voice gives her the option to rely on talent alone.

I hope they are both happy and I wish them the best of luck.

She could have done worst after letting go of a mature relationship with the man who helped her gain fame years ago!

Mariah Carey is or should i say WAS a very talented artist.. She USED TO BE BEAUTIFUL!!! back in the day. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO HER NOW??? All she does in her videos is twist and turn her body and making these stupid faces thinking she’s cute. Fat ***** needs to get over herself!!! of course she looks great in photos…That’s what photo editors are for!!!!!!!! Sure she worked out and slimmed down, but she didn’t do it without a trainer. she also claims to be a size 2. There is NO WAY in hell she’ s a two!!!! I’ve been athletic all my life and played various sports including boxing, basket ball and track and I am not even a two. She may have lost some fat, but her body build is naturally that of a thick girl and that’s ok because thick is beautiful but she cant trick herself into thinking she’s this dainty little thing. there are soooo many celebs claiming to be a size two and they all look like they differ in waist size. Mariah Carey was an amazing artist back in the day… Now she’s gone horribly wrong!!! she can’t even sing anymore, and she looks like ****!!! what happened to the old Mariah when she used to sing that song “without you” she was so natural and beautiful back then. She is too old to be pulling that **** now. get over yourself you fat old *****!!!! The only good thing she’s done recently is to cast Wentworth Miller in her music videos.

From the look of things, the pic with MC and Nick was very impromptu & once Elle saw how beautiful the pic came out they put it in the magazine. I do not understand why people still complain about how she dresses. GET OVER IT!!!!! She is not selling sex to sell music. She has explained millions of times that her job gives her the opportunity to play “dressup.” I think female haters, hate because they are immensely jealous of her. To all those who claim photoshop on every single cover MC is on, I have this question: Does Vibe, Elle, Blender, Cosmo & all the other magazines employ the same photoshop team? She looks the same size in every photo since she lost some weight to get ready for this cd. So, is there only 1 photoshop team for all of Hollywood? Besides, you can only phototshop so much. At some point, you need to put your hate aside & realize that MC is working her butt off to stay super slim & trim. Another thing that bothers me about the haters of Mariah is that they will go to crazy extremes to let people know how much they hate her. They are on blogs & youtube proclaiming their hatred for Mariah. I do not care for Madonna & Justin Timberlake, Jessica Alba & many other no talent hacks in hollywood, but I don’t spread my hatred on any blog. If you do not like Mariah then do not click on her articles, do not look up her videos & performances on youtube. Also, I hate the people who hate her because they think she is fake. MC is about as real as it comes in Hollywood. She does not proclaim from the hilltop all the charity work she does. She has long said she will not even think about having kids, if she is not married. She never cut all her hair off just because the wind was blowing. She has not jumped on the Kabblah or Scientology bandwagons. She believes in & worships Jesus. She has not adopted foreign kids because it’s the “in” thing to do these days. The woman is a huge success story. She is pretty much the only female artist who can have Snoop Dogg & a moving gospel song on 1 cd. She can give you R&B, pop, hip hop & hip pop and pull it off with great results. Her net worth is way more than Madonna & Janet Jackson, who have been in the business at least 10 years before MC, according to Forbes magazine. Hate never leads to anything good. To end I will use a quote MC said a few years ago: “You can’t please everyone, so you might as well do you.” I think this is a great mantra for her.
