“The fact that I believed that I could become a successful artist is one of my greatest strengths. Around the same time, my mother signed me up for a talent competition in town and I sang one of my favorite songs, ‘Out Here on My Own’ by Irene Cara. I felt like ‘Out Here on My Own’ described my whole life, and I loved singing that way – singing to reveal a part 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.

“But ‘Out Here on My Own’ was such a pure song that it touched my heart, and I couldn’t believe that I had won a trophy for singing a song that I loved,” he said.
