Is there something wrong with Mariah?

At about 2:30 ET Mariah left a very scary and disturbing message on her site. About 20 minutes later she recorded over it with a message that was a little more understandable. Both of them were edited, it's very obvious when you hear them, although you'll only be able to hear the second one.

"So basically all I really wanna say is I don't know what's going on with life, and I hope all the fans are good and I just want you to know that I'm trying to understand things in life right now and so I really don't feel that I should be doing music right now. And I just want everyone to understand that, and that's really true so if I don't make music it's not because I don't want to for you fans. And, if I... [sigh] I have two phones in my ear. I'm not sounding defeated because I'm not defeated, I'm just gonna do this for me, and I know that the people who care about me will care about me. But I just can't trust anybody anymore right now because I don't understand what's going on. So, because I'm desperately trying to get out of this room. And I don't know if that makes any sense to anybody, but the truth is that I'm calling to say that I love you to my fans, I'm not gonna be... are you gonna be... "Glitter" is gonna be out soon. And you're gonna have that, and I'm gonna be taking some time off. I can't reach Nancy Berry so I'd like to say Nancy, I will record and stuff it's just that I needed some time off but nobody was really giving it to me. And I feel that that's only because of [coughs] the situation that we've been dealing with for awhile and that my managers were a little upset about it and they were trying to press on and get through it, but that didn't work, and so it's nobody's fault really it's just that I got... I worked it into a bad place and I'm not trying to have any bad comments around anybody by telling peoples names. And, well what I'd like to do is just take a little break or at least get one night of sleep without someone popping up about a video or a thing where all I really want to do is just be me and that's what I should've done in the first place but somebody... I mean people... whatever I allowed myself to be a little bit too paranoid about life. And life is for living so... that's how deep this is. So if anybody gets this that really cares, just do me a favor, close the record... close the management company down that I own, and I'm gonna lie here and wait for that to happen. Not that anybody cares, it's probably sounds ridiculous. But, I can't reach anybody on the phone so actually, that's where we're at. So fans I love ya, we're gonna do it again, were gonna do it, we're gonna make, and if I take a little time off that's cool. And that's all I'm saying, lambs, you know how I love you. And everything's great. Alright? Bye."

Mariah left another message 5 minutes later and this one is less scary. Here's a transcript:

[Crybaby plays] Hello? Randalph? Oh Randalph? Ok we'll try this again. Hey everybody it's Mariah. I'm just trying to let you know that I'm leaving this message because everything's ok. And what we're gonna do is I'm gonna take like a minute off. And then what's gonna happen is... you're gonna see the movie and things of that nature. So don't think anything's crazy if there's anything bizarre going on with the internet or any of that stuff. Honestly I'm not paying any attention to any of that. I'm ready to take off my pager. And you know how I am. So what I want to do is to let you know that everything's cool. And that... Hello? Randalph? And that I'm gonna make music for you but right now I need a break so I will, as a human being, take that break. And then I'm going to come back and sing for a minute, after I get my management company put together and after there are some other issues so... okay? So thank you, nothing's wrong, you don't have to do anything to anybody. And I know I don't say this that much but guess what I don't take care of myself, and I feel that it's a little disguisting that people can't understand that a celebrity is not more important than, and this is not gonna make much sense but, than my friend's little girl and her safety. That's all I care about basically. And some other personal issues. And honestly this is not for anything other than the fact that I care about my fans. And I'm telling you this, and I would like to walk out of a hotel with some dignity. So, that being said, you guys know how random my message is anyway, so I love ya, and we're gonna do it again ok? And there's nothing to be upset about, we still win, if you win spiritually you win anyway. Ok I hope this message gets to them, no I pray, actually let me say something, just hold on. Anyways... [cuts off]"
