Touch My Body
Live At Nokia Theater

Mariah Carey's debut single, "Vision of Love," entered the Billboard Hot 100, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Adult Contemporary charts 20 years ago this week, in the June 2, 1990, issue. The song would become the first of her 18 Hot 100 No. 1s, the most among solo artists in the chart's 52-year history. (Among all acts, only the Beatles, with 20, have more.) Carey has tallied 15 toppers on Hot Dance Club Songs, 10 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and six on Adult Contemporary.

Carey's total U.S. album sales stand at 64.5 million, according to Nielsen SoundScan, which began tracking album sales a year after her arrival. In that span, only Garth Brooks (68.4 million) and the Beatles (60.9 million) rank higher. Carey has six No. 1 Billboard 200 titles, including her best selling album, 1995's "Daydream" (7.6 million). "Daydream" also yielded the 16-week Hot 100 No. 1 "One Sweet Day," with Boyz II Men, marking the chart's longest reign. The ballad subsequently earned the honor of Billboard's top song of the '90s. Carey's 2005 14-week Hot 100 No. 1 "We Belong Together" likewise became the chart's top title of the 2000s.

Last week a snippet of Mariah Carey’s previously unreleased version of “Help Me Make It” hit the Internet and now we have the song in full! Mimi takes on an acoustic guitar and it sounds absolutely splendiferous! I love it!

How can one man's dream define one man's destiny?

LYRICS:

I saw you yesterday
And I heard what you had to say
All those ugly ways you think about me
But I know it's ok
Gonna keep the smile on my face
Hate don't change the way I feel about
My inner being

Cause I won't let them dim my light
And I'm holding my head up high
And I know my exterior is not impeccable to you
I don't know if my wrongs is right
But I'm gonna keep livin my life
Defame my name that I made and they
Don't care what they say about me

Imperfect
That's all that I’ll ever be
And God knows that's alright with me
Cause I know there's no one greater and everybody's
Imperfect
When you're tryin to live in harmony
But the song of life is out of key
Just be perfectly imperfect

As I look at the tv screen
In there and in magazines
So much insecurity surrounds me
Wish I could change the page
Got to stay with my self-esteem
Folks so superficial
Makes it hard to just survive

Cause I won't let them dim my light
And I'm holding my head up high
And I know my exterior is not impeccable to you
I don't know if my wrongs is right
But I'm gonna keep livin my life
Defame my name that I made and they
Don't care what they say about me

Imperfect
That's all that I'll ever be
And God knows that's alright with me
Cause I know there's no one greater and everybody's
Imperfect
When you're tryin to live in harmony
But the song of life is out of key
Just be perfectly imperfect

I may not walk like a supermodel
All look as flawless as they do
I don't know where you get off judgin
Cause I'm imperfect just like you
So I don’t care about your status
No I swear up to here I've had it
Ain't try to win no beauty pageant
Cause in my heart is all that matters

I saw you yesterday
And I heard what you had to say
All those ugly ways you think about me
But I know it’s ok
Gonna keep the smile on my face
Hate don't change the way I feel about
My inner being

Cause I won't let them dim my light
And I'm holding my head up high
And I know my exterior is not impeccable to you
I don't know if my wrongs is right
But I'm gonna keep livin my life
Defame my name that I made and they
Don't care what they say about me

Imperfect
That's all that I’ll ever be
And God knows that's alright with me
Cause I know there's no one greater and everybody's
Imperfect
When you're tryin to live in harmony
But the song of life is out of key
Just be perfectly imperfect

As I look at the tv screen
In there and in magazines
So much insecurity surrounds me
Wish I could change the page
Got to stay with my self-esteem
Folks so superficial
Makes it hard to just survive

Cause I won't let them dim my light
And I'm holding my head up high
And I know my exterior is not impeccable to you
I don't know if my wrongs is right
But I'm gonna keep livin my life
Defame my name that I made and they
Don't care what they say about me

Imperfect
That's all that I'll ever be
And God knows that's alright with me
Cause I know there's no one greater and everybody's
Imperfect

When you're tryin to live in harmony
But the song of life is out of key
Just be perfectly imperfect
Imperfect, imperfect, imperfect, imperfect

Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey have a shared love of candy ring pops - so why not combine that love with some serious bling for an anniversary gift? Cannon did just that when he gave his wife a custom-made "Ring Pop" as a surprise gift during their small, private party for their second anniversary in Los Angeles Friday. But this sweet treat was no sucker: Hand crafted at Jason of Beverly Hills jewelers, the sparkler was made of white gold encrusted in white diamonds and pink sapphires.

"It also comes in a box complete with a spinner so that you can see it sparkle under the lights inside," Jason Arasheben, the CEO of Jason of Beverly Hills, tells People. And the candy ring has history in the happy couple's relationship: Three years ago when Cannon, 29, proposed to Carey, 41, it was with a diamond ring disguised in a ring pop candy wrapper. They got married in 2008 on Carey's Bahamian estate.

It's fitting that Carey's last album, Memories Of An Imperfect Angel, has a track called "Candy Bling" on which Carey professes her love of old school candy ring pops. Says Arasheben, "The ring pop design is something Nick knew Mariah would absolutely love."

Last month, Cannon said he and Carey planned to renew their vows as part of their anniversary celebration. "I encourage everybody to do it," he said at the time. "If you are happy and in love, celebrate it!"

Beef with button mushroom on the table.

Unexpectedly, I dished out this menu on the plate at Doc's place on invitation. The A1 sprints made its taste extraordinary from my previous attempts to cook this meal.

Ingredients: Beef, button mushroom, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, onions, dash of sugar, salt and pepper to taste. A1 sauce (optional)

How to cook: Saute garlic and onion in oil, add beef then boil or simmer beef on medium heat until tender. Add in mushroom, vinegar, soy sauce, a little sugar, salt and pepper to taste. Simmer until sauce thickens, add A1 sauce.
