Rihanna and Beyonce--There's Smoke, But Is There Fire?

2006-09-14T15:43:00.000-07:00

She may be sincere, but pointing out Beyonc's age may go over as well as Mariah Carey's "compliment" to Madonna in the famous interview where Carey mentioned that she used to listen to Madonna's records as a child.

Snap Judgment: Clay Aiken's new single

2006-09-09T19:33:00.000-07:00

Sure, the dude can sing -- and in an era where Paris Hilton is a top 20 act, actual vocal ability is, well, hot -- but Clay's "Without You" sorely lacks the anguish of Harry Nilsson's Grammy-winning rendition, nor does it have the sheer melodrama of Mariah Carey's.

About Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American pop and R&B singer-songwriter, record producer and occasional actress. She made her debut in 1990 under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola whom she later married, and became the first recording act to have her first five singles top the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. A series of subsequent hit records consolidated her position as Columbia records' most successful artist and the best-selling artist of the 1990s in the U.S. according to Billboard magazine.

Following her separation from Mottola in 1996, Carey took full creative control over her image and music, and further infused elements of hip hop into her material. Her popularity was already on the decline when she left Columbia in 2001, and she was dropped by Virgin Records the following year after a highly publicized physical and emotional breakdown, along with the poor reception of Glitter, her film and soundtrack project. Carey signed with Island Def Jam Records in 2002, and after a period of only minimal success, she returned to the forefront of popular music in 2005.

The World Music Awards named Carey the best-selling female artist of all time in 2000, and she has the most U.S. number-one singles by a female artist. She has also won five Grammy Awards. In addition to her commercial accomplishments, she is well-known for her five-octave vocal range and heavy use melisma singing style, and is widely considered to be one of the most talented singers in popular music, despite criticisms of her voice and lyrics.
