    No one writes lyrics like MC. The level of English :oprah:

     

    Acquiescent, Compulsively, Despondency, Destitution,Enmity, Inherently, Painstakingly, Woeful...

     

    The list goes on...

    I'm always amazed at this "Heartbreaker" verse :

     

    "

    It's a shame to be

    So euphoric and weak

    When you smile at me

    And you tell me things

    That you know persuade me

    To relinquish my love to you

    But I cannot resist

    At all"

     

    It all makes sense, rhymes and it's damn well constructed on a complex melody.

     

    It's a shame that people believe she's a bitch when she actually plays with that diva image people have given her over the years.

     

    She :

    - writes her own lyrics

    - produces her own records

    - arranges everything when it's a cover

    - has an amazing voice with tons of different textures (agility, power, softness, she's got it all)

    - can play the piano

     

    I mean, to me she's the true definition of an artist.

     

     

    Edit : Rant over :teehee:

    "But I just keep on coming back incessantly..." *yas queen gif*

    Mariah Carey Is Amazing !

    She doesn't get half the credit she deserves for her lyrics (I'm not talking about Touch My Body lyrics but real poetry like The Roof, or .. Well .. Pretty much everything she wrote)

    The lyrics to Fourth of July & Underneath the Stars alone are better than any lyrics I've ever heard (including Lana :hooker:)

    Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist. Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records Emotions (1991), Music Box (1993), and Merry Christmas (1994), Carey was established as Columbia's highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single "One Sweet Day", a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history. During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.

     

    In a career spanning over two decades, Carey has sold more than 270 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time. In 1998, she was honored as the world's best-selling recording artist of the 1990s at the World Music Awards. Carey was also named the best-selling female artist of the millennium in 2000. According to the Recording Industry Association of America, she is the third best-selling female artist in the United States, with 63.5 million certified albums.

     

    Referred to as the "songbird supreme" by the Guinness World Records, she is famed for her five-octave vocal range, power, melismatic style and signature use of the whistle register.
