Hey, it's Tetris with billboard here at the AMAs with the queen of our charts Miss 191 herself Mariah Carey. How are you? I'm well. How are you doing?
这是AMA的公告牌上的Tetris，还有我们的排行榜女王玛丽亚·凯莉。你好吗？我很好。你好吗？
Amazing. I'm sitting next to an icon now. Tonight you performed two of those number ones, should be three, but not every Queen blocks themselves from number one, Justice for Shake It Off. How was it tonight? How was it up there?
太棒了。我现在坐在偶像旁边。今晚你演唱了两首冠军歌曲，应该是三首，但并不是每个皇后都挡住了冠军宝座，Justice for Shake It Off。今晚怎么样？
Justice for Shake It Off indeed, it was good. I mean I felt good with the audience. It was a good crowd.
Justice for Shake It Off确实很棒。我和观众一起感觉很好。观众很棒。
And I mean we're here to celebrate Emancipation of Mimi, which is obviously such a special album.
我们来这里是为了庆祝Emancipation of Mimi，这显然是一张非常特别的专辑。
All your albums are special but this one kind of came at a time, where people stupidly maybe we're counting you out.
你的所有专辑都很特别，但这张专辑来得正是时候，人们可能愚蠢地认为你出局了。
So how did it feel to celebrate that album 20 years later and why do you think it resonated so much with people?
那么20年后庆祝这张专辑感觉如何？你认为它为什么会引起如此大的共鸣？
People had written me off and when The Emancipation of Mimi came out and had the song of the decade with We Belong Together,
人们已经不再理会我了，而当The Emancipation of Mimi问世，We Belong Together成为十年最佳歌曲时，
I'm like forgetting the song of the decade. It had to be that big a record for me to actually have a comeback and it's just the way people are...
我好像忘记了十年最佳歌曲。它必须是一张伟大的唱片，我才能真正东山再起，这就是人们的做事方式……
You always talk about how you write songs from a personal place but you want them to also connect with your fans so they can feel those emotions. So when you think back to that time, how did you feel emotionally?
你总是谈论你如何从个人角度创作歌曲，但你也希望它们与你的粉丝产生共鸣，这样他们才能感受到这些情感。当你回想起那段时光时，你的情绪是怎样的？
I was happy. That was one of the best times in my life, you know, loving the fans, just loving life and thankful for the album.
我很开心。那是我一生中最美好的时光之一，我爱粉丝，热爱生活，感谢这张专辑。
The album obviously did amazing. You had a bunch of good songs on it but you ended it with Fly Like a Bird, a beautiful spiritual song that you performed at the Grammys, one of your best performances. Why was it important to end The Emancipation of Mimi?
这张专辑显然很出色。你有很多好歌，但你以Fly Like a Bird结束，这是一首美丽的灵歌，你在格莱美颁奖典礼上表演过，是你最好的表演之一。为什么以这首歌作为专辑的结尾？
The spirituality of that song was very important to me, especially at that time in my life.
那首歌的精神性对我来说非常重要，尤其是在我生命中的那个时候。
And I remember I was in Capri and I was recording in the studio and went outside when it was sunrise cuz I was there the whole night.
我记得当时我在卡普里岛，正在录音室录音，日出时我走到外面，因为我在那里呆了一整晚。
And I just walked back and my engineer and he was playing this song down and he was like it's a good one.
我刚走回来，我的工程师正在播放这首歌，他说这是一首好歌。
