International

London
(ANI):
R
'n'
B
singer
Mariah
Carey
is
said
to
have
lived
up
to
her
reputation
of
a
diva
when
she
arrived
late
for
her
X
Factor
recording
because
she
did
not
like
the
car
that
had
been
sent
to
pick
her
up.
Carey,
39,
was
not
happy
with
the
Mercedes,
Simon
Cowell,
50,
had
sent,
and
after
a
minor
row
she
finally
arrived
in
a
250,000-pound
Rolls-Royce
Phantom
and
taped
a
performance
of
her
new
track
'I
Want
To
Know
What
Love
Is',
to
be
screened
on
next
week's
ITV1
show.
Cowell
is
said
to
have
been
smiling
the
whole
time,
as
Carey's
appearance
puts
The
X
Factor
show
ahead
of
rival
programme
Strictly
Come
Dancing,
reports
the
Daily
Star.
The
'Hero'
singer
had
originally
been
booked
to
perform
on
the
Beeb
show
at
the
weekend,
but
pulled
out
at
the
11th
hour
on
his
orders.
