Mariah is 40 todayI don't know what to say about Mariah. She spent the first part of her career distancing herself from being a Black artist. Then when things got a little rough she 'came home'.
She's dabbled in acting, sometimes with good results and sometimes bad. Although, speaking of bad, I think it's time we forgive her for Glitter. After all she was going through a nervous breakdown at the time. And lately she's given some decent acting performances.
Anyway, Mariah really set herself up well though with her first hit Vision of Love. I'm not sure that she will ever top that. It is a classic as far as I'm concerned. Happy birthday Mariah.

Imma-bout to fight you - you keep taking all my girls.
@ ubj:You gotta try and be quicker than Val! lol
Mariah is among the ranks of those with privileged voices. She also has beauty to match.
I agree that she has turned in good performances also.
My favorite song of hers is "I Still Believe" I can listen to it over and over and over...
Happy Birthday Mariah!
I wasn't a fan until my DJ brother spun a 12" version of "Fantasy" on which she really showed her vocal range.
I used to date a girl who looked like Mimi and she'd always play the song "Can't Let Go" after we broke up.
To this day - one of my three favorite songs of all time - by anyone.
The odd thing about M is that she actually looks better when she's NOT all dolled up.
Her speaking voice is even soothing.
Okay...
I have my list;
Nick Cannon (X)
Val (X)

Lol, What did I say? I said she's very talented.
@cactusrose
I agree, Mariah is incredibly talented. Plus, she's a New Yorker born and raised so that gets her points with me.
@UBJ
Lol, okay.
Very, very talented individual.
I remember when she called herself creating a distance between herself and being recognized as "black."
My, how times have changed. I wonder why? LOL!
@Don
Yeah when her career started to slide she came home.
Newspapers here are reporting that Mariah arrived in Puerto Rico on Tuesday night with her entourage and without Nick Cannon...
@cactusrose
Maybe Nick is working? I haven't heard any rumors about them splitting up.
