The World Music Awards have named the diva as latest recipient of their aptly titled Icon Award.
Details after the jump….
Set to take place in Monte Carlo on May 27th, the show will honor the five-octave songbird for “having sold over 200 million records and having more No.1 singles in America than any other Solo Act”.
The singer will also perform at the event.
A major coup for Carey’s upcoming album ‘Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse’, the promo spot will take place two days after the said LP hits stores.
And while some may question the logic in Mimi leaving her biggest market to perform abroad during the LP’s release week, the World Music Awards is broadcast to a global audience on over 180 networks. Thus providing a huge audience to promote the project.

Latest Reviews about the album.
24 years in the game and still going strong.The Daily Beast felt a little underwhelmed by the album, stating “The beginning echoes the starts of those sultry Carey torch songs of the old days, but it’s just foreplay that doesn’t go anywhere. Those orgasmic key changes that defined Carey’s classic ballads, the soft belting that builds and builds until there’s nothing left for Carey to do but wail in vocal ecstasy, they’re nowhere to be found.”
:: The Boston Globe agrees with the Daily Beast, noting that “what is unfortunately not elusive on the album are a clutch of interchangeable slow-to-midtempo tunes long on pulsating atmosphere — several with distractingly fidgety rhythmic tracks — but short on melody or verve.”
:: New York Daily News, on the other hand, gave the disc a 4/5, raving, “Contrary to its title, the new album may be Carey’s least elusive work. Rarely has she made her talent more clear.”
:: NewsDay gave the album an “A-,” simply stating, “Once again, Mariah proves she thrives on drama.”
:: Digital Spy gives the album 3.5 stars. “Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse is a finely-poised balance between the two; touching moments of personal insight mixed with peaks of glittering over-the-top pop.”
:: Billboard thinks that Mimi is staying a bit on the safe side with this LP: “The usual, more or less. Musically, it’s her typical mix of pop-classicist balladry and hip-hop-tinged summer jamming, and if Carey doesn’t exactly go strutting into new territory, it’s because she knows most people like her right where she is.”
:: LA Times agrees with Billboard: “No one doubts Carey’s ability as a belter, but now she’s cut a perfectly modest, sonically contemporary album without any need to show off her glass-shattering range.” -

Album is quite good actually. But I can't really take her seriously after those photo-shopped pics and videos showing her in her 40's acting like she teen and ? . Classy is not the word associated with her name.

She is the GOAT and her only failure was marrying Nick Cannon but he funny though.
