Does a five year marriage really count as short? It's hardly fuckin' Elizabeth Taylor here.

Yes, though it seems it was effectively over by 1996. -- Beardo 05:09, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Needs tidying up the two mentions of Thalia. -- Beardo 05:09, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Still, a five year marriage in the entertainment business counts as a long and successful marriage, even if the underlying relationship itself had fizzled much earlier. If a Hollywood marriage can make it to the two year mark, it's considered remarkable.

Jewish

Is he still Jewish? I saw him on him marrying Thalia...and that was a Christian church...

I don't think Mottola is Jewish. He married Mariah and Thalia in churches of Christian denomination. 05:46, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

He(It) would have of to refrain from making this metier...

Budgeting

The article seems to imply that Mottola spent far too much of the record company's money on promoting Mariah Carey, but this doesn't take into account the success Carey had for the record company. Mariah Carey had more #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 for Columbia Records than anybody else had ever had (on any record label), except for the Beatles and Elvis Presley. Mottola may have been spending five times the budget of a normal artist on Carey, but her albums sold more than five times as much as a normal artist's did. --Metropolitan90 05:43, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's an "open secret" that Mottola spent lavishly to launch and maintain Mariah's career.

It shouldn't take into account that she became famous AFTER he launched her career because Mariah could have flopped and faded into obscurity. He took an incredible gamble on her that could have ruined his career. He (and she!) was lucky enough to have managed to make her a superstar and maintain her as a superstar. Mottola could promote Mariah all he wanted but the pubic had to embrace her. PR alone won't sell albums. I don't say thay as an insult to either Mottola or Carey as I am a huge Mariah fan. 05:57, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Separation from Mariah Carey

Mottola formally separated from Mariah Carey May 30, 1997. It was rumored they split up in December 1996 but rumor does not suffice. I changed the date to the formal announcement of separation. 05:46, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Link to the May 30th date:

Mariah's signing to Virgin Records

I changed the part about Mariah having one album left on Sony and signing with Virgin. Glitter was to have been Matiah's last CD for Sony but she instead bought the rights to it and released it on Virgin Records. Not to mention Mariah could not sign with another label while still legally obligated and contracted to the other. 05:57, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Gloria Estefan

Gloria Estefan was not part of the Latin Explosion with Ricky Martin, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, etc. as she debuted over two decades before they did. Mottola was instrumental in building her career as she was signed to Epic Records, which is part of Sony, so I moved her into the previously mentioned list of careers Mottola developed.05:55, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
