This Monday Mixtape is all about my birthday idol Mariah Carey. We all share a birthday with someone…and I do with Mariah! Mariah Carey has been an idol of mine for  long time. We share the same birthday and although she is 4 years older than me..she has always provided me with the inspiration to follow my dreams. From her first song Vision of Love, her incredible voice range has captivated us for yeas. In the beginning of her career, I thought it was odd that she kept releasing “generic” versions of her songs and remixes which were always catchy and filled with the hippest rappers and producers in the business. Of course we can all see now that it was absolute genius from a business sense and it also provided Mariah with a chance to step out of the songstress spotlight, relax and just be herself. As an Aries woman, I commensurated with her very public breakdown and her fight to regain herself and her image. I am very happy for her continued success and I wish her a very happy birthday…which was shared by me!

As usual…every mix has a theme and I love when the idea blossoms! This week’s mix actually started last week during a conversation with my sister Divalicious.

28. Confessions Part II – Usher – I forced the Ranting Runt to do this to his girl…he had to confess…I had too much evidence!

29. You Oughta Know – Alanis Morrisette – But I ended up singing this song!

30. Cowboys and Angels – George Michael – Now this is a song to the one who broke my heart the best….I should have learned from the lyrics:

You can call it love
But I don’t think it’s true
You’re not to blame
It always ends the same

Please be stronger than your past
The future
May still give you
A chance

And it does…those who want to cheat…they will always find a way to….I’m glad to say that I am a reformed cheater. It won’t happen again (never ever…never ever?) Yes never again. I have finally found the man who deserves my faithfulness. Scribe….the most wonderful man I have ever met. Thank you God…for finally giving me the rest I needed in him.

Which was your favorite cheating song?
