She has won six Grammy awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carey has recorded 19 No. 1 hits, according to Billboard, which lists her as the fourth-greatest recording artist of all time, trailing the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Elton John.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A crowd of 60,000 spectators is slated for the opening ceremony, with millions more expected to watch on television.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMariah Carey fully represents the emotional atmosphere that accompanies the run-up to the Games,\u201d the committee said. \u201cMusic is a universal language that attracts different stories and sensibilities, and intertwines with the opening ceremony\u2019s theme of harmony.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only other detail announced for the ceremony so far is that there will be a tribute to the late fashion designer Giorgio Armani, who died at his home in Milan in September at the age of 91.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Games will be spread over northern Italy, and simultaneous but smaller opening ceremonies are to be held in three mountain clusters as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main ceremony will put a spotlight on the San Siro, which is home to the Inter Milan and AC Milan soccer clubs. It is set to be torn down and replaced by a new stadium after the Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Internationally acclaimed ballet star Roberto Bolle will headline the closing ceremony, which is slated for Verona\u2019s ancient Roman Arena on Feb 22. <a href=\"https:\/\/japantoday.com\/category\/sports\/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-the-olympics.-mariah-carey-to-perform-at-milan-cortina-opening-ceremony\">(JapanToday)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mariah Carey is going to add some American pop-star pedigree to the opening ceremony for the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.
