Mariah Carey gave birth to the sound of applause (and her own voice)

  • May 19, 2011
  • Brad O'Mance

Nick Cannon has revealed that Mariah Carey was listening to a recording of one of her own per­form­ances when she gave birth.

NME reports he told the Gayle King Show that Mariah "wanted to make sure that when the babies came out, that they came out not only to a Mariah Carey song, but a live per­form­ance from Mariah Carey — her Madison Square per­form­ance of 'Fantasy' — so they came out to a round of applause".

Moving swiftly on, Cannon commented on the twins' unusual names: "Monroe, obviously, is named after Marilyn Monroe, who my wife has been inspired by and loved for many years. And you think about Moroccan and that’s kind of like my name and Mariah’s name phon­et­ic­ally together."

Amazing.
