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 ten-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.

原文摘录

Burt was a schoolteacher and photographer, and Myron was, as he put it, a stay-at-home wife. Myron was a vision. He wore a perfectly coiffed beard and his hair was always blown out in cascading layers, which he would finish off with a shimmering frosting spray. He was perpetually tanned and sashayed around the house in spectacular multicolored silk caftans. Burt would bring me out in their yard to take photos of me (I just adored showing offin front ofa camera), and he totally encouraged my exaggerated poses. He fully supported and understood my propensity for extranets (查看原文)
感谢牛姐(Mariah Carey)让我读完了除了英语课本以外的第一本英语书 --‘The Meaning of Mariah Carey’。让我这个将近25年的粉丝完成了读原版书的愿望,哈哈哈。 这不是一篇读后感,不是书评(Who dares to make comment on this Memoir haha~~),也不是介绍,只是想趁着热...

要问现阶段欧美流行乐坛的常青树是谁,那绝对是牛姐了。在其他大佬大姐因为年纪和健康问题,隐退江湖的时候,牛姐还保持着较高的曝光率和演出数次,真的不能只用敬业来形容她了。她的年度表演all I want for Christmas is you ,地位犹如李谷一每年春晚的“难忘今宵”。 有个经...

"That day, I saw firsthand how their fear hurt him. And his hurt deeply hurt me too. But what was perhaps most painful, that afternoon, was that he saw that I saw their fear of him." This line of words hunted me in the late night sleep, in the nightmare: th...

建议豆瓣【男人皆祸害】小组人才引入mimi。比较令人惊讶的是,她其实一点也不懒,对自己的艺术作品非常珍重,以及她的人生也bleak过,才像现在一样的festive。 总的来说还是不功不过的self promotion用自传,但是mimi的念书的声音真的太美妙了,太适合做儿童读物的有声书了。

读起来感觉很跳tone。也许现在对于牛姐来说写自传还为时过早,很多部分写得都很浅,很碎片化,可能是因为很多事情她还没准备好或者现在还不能向公众坦露。她选择把书的大部分内容都用来写她人生中经历的低谷和不幸。作为粉丝来说,当然觉得写这些是很有必要的,很多内容读起来也颇有感触,尽管大部分故事梗概都是之前已经听说过的,但作为一本自传,觉得还是空缺太多内容了,她人生中很多重要moment都没怎么写。另外,不... 读起来感觉很跳tone。也许现在对于牛姐来说写自传还为时过早,很多部分写得都很浅,很碎片化,可能是因为很多事情她还没准备好或者现在还不能向公众坦露。她选择把书的大部分内容都用来写她人生中经历的低谷和不幸。作为粉丝来说,当然觉得写这些是很有必要的,很多内容读起来也颇有感触,尽管大部分故事梗概都是之前已经听说过的,但作为一本自传,觉得还是空缺太多内容了,她人生中很多重要moment都没怎么写。另外,不厌其烦地赘述她不同时候的各种装扮还有豪华场面真的有必要吗?她还真是我们一直所了解的那个牛姐。哎,可能是我之前期待值过高,就当牛姐写了本“月子”吧。 (展开)

身为近25年的粉丝,有许多事也直到读完这本自传才知道。因为是粉丝,所以更加容易connect, Sleepover night被白人女孩霸凌,Glitter章节里Pat报警,父亲病故,这三段印象最深刻,Glitter那段让人窒息,父亲和结尾部分读的眼泪奔涌。非常真诚直接,虽然有点细碎,但这真是粉丝想要的detail. 还有牛姐就是形容词百科全书

童年阴影和第一段婚姻的部分最精彩,不过我也很喜欢看她写创作的过程

童年部分写得相当好,后面就无聊了。mimi真的很温柔,感恩多过怨恨。
