James nearly had a repeat performance of Mariah's Beyonce-fuelled fit, courtesy of one of Jennifer Lopez's early hits.
"He put on five bars of 'Waiting for Tonight', and Mariah coughed out her courgette at dinner so James made a bee line for the Spotify and immediately put on Mariah's greatest hits!" our source added.
"He has learned never, ever to play another female artist in the house. It's either Mariah, jazz or classical!"
Mariah has repeatedly said "I don't know her" when asked about a JLo feud, but clearly she knows her alleged rival's music.
So what's at the top of Mariah's wish list when it comes to her own songs? According to our source, it's a toss-up between 'We Belong Together' and 'Touch My Body'.
Hmm…we wonder if one of those chart-toppers was on Ristorante Aurora's playlist the night Page Six reported that she insisted on having her own music playing as she and James entered the famous eatery in Capri, Italy.
"She literally had an entrance song," Page Six's spy said, adding that Mariah songs played all night.
Could the superstar actually have that much pull? Well, Mariah did deny that she insisted on having her own music playing that night in Capri while chatting with Entertainment Tonight on one of the his-and-her yachts.
"They have their own playlist," she explained. "Somebody there made a playlist of my songs that I like better than the playlists that I have, and I was there, and I was like, 'Can we get this one?'"
And what Mariah wants, Mariah gets. Capiche?
