MARIAH CAREY PICTURE

Mariah Carey

Once there was a young Mariah Carey who blessed us with her beautiful voice. She was happily married and sang tunes of love and hope. Then she split up from her husband, remade herself to become a sex symbol overnight, and sang songs of heartbreak and freedom. Gone were the casual clothes, replaced with tangibles that left nothing to the imagination. Yet despite her makeover, the same high-octave voice still rings true and clear, singing those hit songs. It's no wonder that throughout the decade she remained the female with the most #1 hits.
