"Just recovering from the day. Still filled w/sadness as we listen to KJLH in LA(Stevie Wonder's radio station)paying tribute to MJ Trying to sing today was basically impossible for me. I could barely keep myself from crying. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to pull it together and really do it right,but I was literally choked up when I saw him there in front of me. One thing I know is, we will never really have to say goodbye to MJ. His legacy lives on through his music and the millions of people. He inspired with his timeless music. He will be forever in our hearts."

Mariah Carey had the difficult task of being the first performer at the Michael Jackson memorial on Tuesday. And when her voice cracked in the first few moments of her cover of the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There," she said she felt like she disappointed everyone. On the "Today" show Wednesday (July , Carey described how hard it was for her to sing on the show and how seeing the casket made it difficult for her to get through the performance. "I feel a little bit like I let everybody down, but I really did try and it was difficult," she said. "But you know what I think? It was a true and honest emotional moment." On Tuesday, Mariah also took to her Twitter to share with her fans her disappointment over her performance and how completely emotional she became at the show. "Trying to sing today was basically impossible for me," she wrote. "I could barely keep myself from crying." She apologized for the performance, during which she was joined by her "MTV Unplugged" duet partner Trey Lorenz. "I'm sorry that I wasn't able to pull it together and really do it right, but I was literally choked up when I saw him there in front of me," she tweeted. "One thing I know is, we will never really have to say goodbye to MJ. His legacy lives on through his music and the millions of people he inspired with his timeless music. He will be forever in our hearts."

Carey: 'Obsessed Video Not About Eminem'

Mariah Carey has laughed off speculation that her music video for new single 'Obsessed' was made in response to Eminem.

One of the scenes from the recently-leaked promo depicts Carey as a hoodie-wearing man lusting over a glamorous celebrity, prompting rumours that it was intended as a dig towards the rapper.

Eminem had referenced Carey in his track 'Bagpipes From Baghdad', which suggested that they had enjoyed a previous relationship and he was desperate to win her back from husband Nick Cannon.

However, writing on her Twitter account, Carey insisted that she was "not at any point in the video playing a specific person", saying: "I'm dressed as a stalker in three different ensembles."

She added: "It was fun playing JoJo (the stalker/doorman/photographer's assistant). The photographer is played by the world famous, legendary Patrick Demarchelier! He was so nice to make a cameo."
