5 Reasons We Love Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey is a legend. Over the last two decades, Carey has blessed the world with timeless hits that will still resonates with many of to this day. In celebration of Carey’s birthday (March 27), here are five (of many) reasons why love her. https://youtu.be/Hat1Hc9SNwE Her impressive vocal range. Mariah Carey has one of the most dynamic voices of all-time. She is known for her impressive five octave vocal range. She has a beautiful distinctive tone. Her most vocally-taxing songs offer an incredible array of upper belts, low notes and high notes. Carey’s control allows her to easily transition from a high octave belt to an unreachable whistle without missing a beat. Some of Carey’s best vocal moments are heard on songs like “Emotions,” “Vision of Love,” “Butterfly,” “Without You,” “Bliss” and “We Belong Together,” to name a few. https://youtu.be/KteRFr0fXuA She’s a prolific songwriter. Not only can Mariah sing but she also writes her own songs. Besides her iconic renditions of The Jackson’s 5’s “I’ll Be There” and Harry Nilsson’s “Without You,” Carey has co-written all her songs — something that's uncommon for pop sensations. From the very beginning of her career, Carey captivated listeners with her amazing lyrics — and let’s not forget about her extensive vocabulary! Some of Carey’s lyrically-dense songs include “Hero,” “Butterfly,” “The Roof,” “Outside,” “Looking In,” “Can’t Let Go” and “Fly Like A Bird,” to name a few. https://youtu.be/DRFX6PEVsDw She’s a natural diva — and has every right to be. With Mariah being one of the best-selling artists of all time, she likes things done in a certain way. For instance, she is very picky about her angles. She only likes to be photographed/taped from her right side since it’s her “good side.” She’s the queen of throwing shade. Who doesn’t like a little shade here and there? Carey has nailed the art of throwing subtle shade. In 1995, pop icon Madonna threw shots at Mimi when she said in an interview , "I'd rather kill myself than be Mariah Carey." Carey fired back later that year in an interview. “I really haven’t paid attention to Madonna since I was like in seventh or eighth grade when she used to be popular,” she said. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mvgB44H1eA In 2009, she released her super shady single “Obsessed,” which was directed to Eminem. During her visit on What Happens Live , she was tasked to say three good things about Eminem. Her response was hilarious. “They come in a package that you can carry wherever you go…And they’re tasty. Peanut and you can have the regular kind.” https://youtu.be/DnxPbNUSBt0 She’s still making music. Let’s face it: Mariah Carey could retire if she wanted to. We appreciate the fact she continues to remain in the music spotlight. While she has nothing to prove with 18 number one singles, Carey uses music to engage with her core fans while attracting new fans. In a recent Q&A on her Facebook page , Carey said right now she's more focused releasing singles than a complete body of work. “I’m going to be doing singles, because it’s more fun for me to just write singles and not focus totally on doing one whole album,” Carey said. “It seems like a lot more fun to just sit down, write a single, collaborate. Hopefully, at the end of that process, there will be an album and I can give it to you guys with some new songs as well as the songs that I’ve been working on.” Her latest single “I Don’t” featuring YG is out now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiQ68AW0LMY There’s many more reasons to love Mariah Carey.
