Mariah Carey is an internationally recognised celebrity, not just for her singing though. The award winning singer is recognised all around the world for her over the top demands. Her most recent request included 20 white kittens and 100 white doves so accompany her while she turned on the Christmas lights at Westfield Shopping Centre.

Amazingly enough, the people at Westfield went along with the doves, but they did refuse the kittens as pets are not allowed within the shopping centre. These 2 requests weren’t the only things she had on her list. She also requested a Rolls Royce to drive her there, a pink carpet (not the classic red), 80 security guards and finally a wand so she could ‘wave’ the lights on. All of which were supplied to her!

These requests are nothing new to the singer, even when she’s at home she has high demands. She insists on maintaining her bedroom with rainforest like humidity levels. She achieves this type of climate by using 20 humidifers surrounding her bad which creates a steam room type astmosphere. The reason why she does this is to preserve her vocal cords, just one of the health benefits of humidifiers. I wonder whether she uses a ceiling fan to cool the room down in the morning.

Most people would consider her requests to be high and costly, however, she’s not the only one. There are many other singers that have high demands. Guns N’ Roses insist on having a wide range of adult magazines, including Playboy and Penthouse. Cher is another, she demands to have a second dressing room just for her wigs. The last one, and possibly the biggest competitor for Mariah is Iggy Pop, he gives his host 18 pages worth of detailed and lengthy requests. Of which some are plastic seahorses and no toy robots.

Although these singers are demanding, none of Mariah’s competitors are known for using humidifiers, despite them having health benefits. I’m slightly surprised that none of them use air purifiers as these also improve your health in a number of ways. Especially when you consider a singer and their lungs, an air purifier can be useful for cleaning impurities out of the air.
