Note: The date for this post is listed as 19th March because I accidentally published it a few days ago before it was ready! But I have actually finished it today (27th March).
Back in July last year Jennifer Lopez (one of my favourite singers) turned 50 and I wrote a birthday post to celebrate. Now it's the turn of Mariah Carey who is my absolute favourite singer (still love you too, J.Lo! lol) who is 50 today. So here is MC's birthday post! :)
Note: I have seen Mariah's birthdate listed as either 1969 or 1970 but more often as 1970, I think. If you are a Lamb (Mariah fan) you will know that she prefers to call her birthdays "anniversaries", hence the title of this post!
Mariah is one of the most well known singers in the world with a career spanning 30 years. To date she has released 15 studio albums and 75 singles. She debuted in May 1990 with the single Vision of Love and self titled debut album the following month. Mariah's biggest hits include Hero, Fantasy, All I Want for Christmas Is You (probably one of the most popular Christmas songs in recent history), Honey, Heartbreaker featuring American rapper Jay Z, Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now) featuring Irish boyband Westlife and We Belong Together.
I used to like her early music but didn't get much into music in general until I was about 12. When I was a teenager she became my favourite singer, and when I learnt that she is mixed race like me, I found her more inspiring. Her album Butterfly was the first album I ever bought in 1997 (on cassette tape, remember those?!). I would still consider that my fave Mariah album today. My all time favourite singles include Honey, Heartbreaker (Remix), I Still Believe Remix, Fantasy and Thank God I Found You (Make It Last Remix). (AS you can see I am a fan of remixes!).

And here are a couple of videos previously not featured. :)
My All/Stay Awhile (So So Def Remix)/ (Re-mix Version) with Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz
This is the remix version of Mariah's 1998 hit single My All featuring American hip hip duo Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz. While I do like the original My All, as with several MC songs I prefer the remix! The So Def Remix features on the 2003 album The Remixes.
I'm not sure why the music video has got a slightly different title to the one on The Remixes album, but it is the same song. :)
Faded
Finally here is Faded, my favourite song from the 2014 album Me. I Am Mariah...The Elusive Chanteuse:
