Can we give Mimi a break?
This is Mariah Carey. She's one of the best selling music artists ever, and she has one of the greatest voices the world has ever heard.

Mariah's career is legendary. She scored a number-one single every year of the '90s, duetted with the biggest names in music — from Ol' Dirty Bastard to Luciano Pavarotti — and she'd sold more than 70 million albums by the time she was 26 years old.
Moreover, she wrote 17 of those number-one hits, created a genre of music, and inspired a generation of singers.
