Los Angeles: Singer Mariah Carey shared the spotlight with a six-year-old girl at one of her shows after learning the youngster was named in her honour.
The 42-year-old is currently touring Australia. On Thursday night, Carey brought special guest Mariah Cini onto the stage at Sydney`s Allphones Arena.
Cini`s father Chris met the singer on her 1998 Australian tour and subsequently named his daughter after her, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
"Mariah Carey is truly a beautiful, genuine person. She`s protective of her fans and she`s not above herself at all. I knew when we were having a baby girl that she would be my Mariah Grace," said Chris.
