Mariah Carey loves being called a diva
Pop superstar Mariah Carey says she loves her label as a diva.
The 37-year-old singer -- infamous for her outrageous demands -- says it's a compliment to have that reputation because it means she's successful.
She said: "They throw that word around like it's a friggin' Frisbee!
"I grew up hearing it, because my mother is an opera singer.
"The actual definition is 'a talented female singer.' Definition two is 'a difficult woman who is successful,' I believe. So I take it as a compliment."
But despite her fiery reputation, the 'One Sweet Day' singer insists she doesn't make enough demands.
She told America's Parade magazine: "You know what? I guess I am a diva in many ways! When it comes to certain things, yes, I can be difficult and a little bit rigid about what I want. Am I demanding? I don't think I'm demanding enough.
"I think if I were more demanding, I would have felt that I had some sort of power, as opposed to feeling like a pawn, which is something I had to grow out of."

Mariah Carey needs to grow
Mariah Carey needs to grow up! I am so sick of the term "Diva". The only thing a Diva is an ill mannered, insecure person with low self esteem.Sure she has a great voice but when is the last time she sang anything that you can hear it. Now she sounds like every other run of the mill moaning singer. She also needs to get a new stylist. She always looks trashy not classy.
