Mariah Carey says most people "let you down". The 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' hitmaker - who has teamed up with Chopard to launch two butterfly-themed jewellery collections - admitted while there are "exceptions" in life, she thinks diamonds really are a girl's best friend.

She told PEOPLE magazine: "I hate to say it, but for the most part, people let you down. So I might have to go with it. With very few exceptions, but for the most part, yeah. " The pop megastar was also asked if the meaning of butterflies has changed over the past 25 years, since releasing her album 'Butterfly'.

She explained: "I don't acknowledge time, so it's 25 seconds, 25 minutes, whatever we want to call it. "Seriously, after going through what I had to go through to even create the Butterfly album and to break free from that shell. . .

it's part of my 25 years and that's kind of unbelievable. "It represents so much to me as just a human being and particularly as a woman. " Mariah also reflected on her appearance on shows like MTV's 'Cribs' where celebrities invite people into their homes.
