Mariah Carey Gets Some Praise (Finally)!

Mariah Carey’s new album may be lackluster, but at least she’s really good in this new movie!

Mimi’s new flick, Precious, is garnering her some rave reveiws. One of the best came from EW’s Oscar Watchers Dave Karger and Missy Schwartz.

They had some wonderful things to say about MiMi:

Dave Karger: You and I are also both very impressed with Mariah Carey’s performance in this movie.
Missy Schwartz: I couldn’t believe that I was looking at Mariah Carey. We’re all aware of this superstar-larger-than-life-far-from-down-to-earth persona that she has and it couldn’t be further from what we see in this movie. She has straggly hair. She wears ill-fitting frumpy clothes – Rayon, I guess.

DK: Native Rayon which she hated.
MS: I’m not surprised, I would hate them too. And I even detect a little, possibly, maybe it was bad angle, facial hair. It is so unflattering but she’s so good and she works it. She plays a social worker who’s working with this young, troubled teenager and she’s amazing. I wanted to see more of her on screen.

Bravo, MiMi! Maybe it’s time to start thinking about a career shift.

On second thought, we’ll wait till we see it before we give you that advice!
