My Take
I find Mariah Carey endlessly fascinating because her career contains both extremes of fame: the untouchable phenom of the early nineties and the punchline years around Glitter, followed by one of pop's great resurrections. The voice gets the headlines — five octaves, that whistle register — but I think her songwriting and production credits are the real story; she authored her own hits in an era when divas were expected to just sing. And her quiet annexation of Christmas itself is maybe the shrewdest second act in modern music. Survivors interest me more than prodigies, and she is both.
