Mariah Carey reduces film crew to tears

Mariah Carey reduced a film crew to tears as she sang in new movie Tennessee.

The 36-year-old singer performed 'Right To Dream', a song she has written with country music legend Willie Nelson, for a scene in the forthcoming film and it struck an emotional chord with onlookers.

Director Aaron Woodley told The Tennessean: "People were weeping when she sang it. It was very moving, especially in the context of the film and her character."

In the film Carey plays an aspiring country singer who escapes a controlling husband in New Mexico by fleeing to Nashville with two brothers.
