Mariah Carey Dispels Whitney Houston Rivalry Perception

Mariah Carey has addressed the long-standing rumors about her rivalry with the late Whitney Houston, clarifying that the perceived competition was largely fueled by public perception rather than reality. In a recent interview on "Watch What Happens Live," Carey described their relationship as fun and recalled their collaboration on the song "When You Believe," highlighting Houston's humor and their shared moments. Carey also reflected on her infamous "I don’t know her" remark about Jennifer Lopez, explaining that it was a genuine expression of not knowing Lopez and expressed surprise at how the comment became so widely referenced. Additionally, Carey candidly admitted that dancing has never been her strength, revealing that she was never formally taught and was traumatized by it as a child, which has influenced her performance style. Despite some criticism of her live performances, Carey continues to embrace her unique approach to entertainment and remains a respected figure in the music industry.
