Out Here On My Own: Mariah Carey versus Irene Cara
Mariah Carey |
Mariah Carey blasted the music scene with a remake of a popular 1980 ballad “Out Here On My Own” which she previewed on Twitter.
The song was originally done by Irene Cara for the musical “Fame.”
It peaked at No. 19 on Billboard US Charts. In 1981, Cara performed the song at the Oscars where it was nominated for Best Original Song.
In her tweet, Carey called the song the soundtrack of her life.
“The fact that I believed I could become a successful artist is one of my greatest strengths. Around the same time, my mother entered me in a talent competition in the city, and I sang one of my favorite songs, ‘Out Here on My Own,” by Irene Cara. I felt ‘Out Here on My Own’ described my entire life, and I loved singing that way — singing to reveal a piece of my soul. And I won doing it. At that age. I lived for the movie Fame, and Irene Cara was everything to me,” Carey said.
