Trivia

In an interview with Watch What Happens: Live (2009), Mariah Carey said that she regrets making the film.

Share this

Instead of releasing the film on DVD, 20th Century Fox surrendered the rights to Columbia Pictures, which distributed the film outside the U.S. It made just over $5 million (US) worldwide, and was universally panned by critics. The soundtrack CD was the weakest-selling album in Mariah Carey's career, prompting Virgin Records/EMI to sever their ties with her.

U.S. cable channel VH-1 aired an "edited for TV" version of the international release, with the "Columbia" logos at the start and end of the movie.

Goofs

When Billie kisses the music sheet, she is wearing pink lipstick, but the lip print is red.

Share this

When Billie sings "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On" on stage for the first time, the microphone cord wrapped around her hand and arm, and her hands on the microphone pole change position in every shot.

Share this

In 1983, Billie covers the Cherrelle/Robert Palmer hit "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On," which was released in 1984.

Quotes

Dice: [to Billie] Do you really think inside your mind that because you swing your ass around on stage and you hit a couple of high notes here and there, that you are some colossal success?

Share this

Billie: "Woe is me?" What the hell is that?

Share this

Dice: I like hanging out wit you, Billie.
