My favorite singer of all time is the 8-octave-hitting, Mariah Carey. Now that she's officially surpassed Elvis' record of the amount of #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 charts (2nd to the Beatles), Mariah has definitely and justifiably secured her a place in the record books. Her current single, "Touch My Body," is Mariah's 18th chart-topper.
I remember the first time I heard her first single, "Vision of Love," back in 1990 when I was 10-years-old. I thought, "Wow, this person sounds like Whitney Houston." I don't know, maybe it was because I was only a kid and couldn't differentiate voices that well, but nonetheless I loved what I heard!
Now nearly 2 decades later I'm still enjoying Mariah's music. No one can sing a pop/R&B tune like her!! That's why I am anxiously awaiting the release of her latest CD, E=MC2 on April 16th.

BGG, choosing a favorite MC song is impossible and probably illegal in some states! She is definitely one of my absolute favorites and I'm looking forward to her new CD as well. Isn't it funny how you have a favorite on one CD and you think it will always be your favorite and then she pops out yet another one! Yeah, me and Mariah go way back! Go MC Go!
Great photos of MC. Isn't she the best. I can't wait to purchase her latest and greatest. The big question is...will they now let Elvis rest in peace?!
It was the old school songs she sang. Can't really remember but there is one song from the album charm bracelets.
One of my faves is her version of I'll be there. I also like One sweet day and Hero, I don't think I can pick just one!
my favorite Mariah was the Mariah she was on her first two or three albums. i cant just chose one song. a butterfly is very fitting for her because she is constantly changing up her style.
HI BGG
I guess my favorite Mariah song is "Always" ( I don't remember if that is the title) but she says "you will always be my baby" in the song. She has so many great songs. Ohhh Vision of love is another....and I did like honey also...I can go on and on so let me stop here. And I like her latest tune.
Thanks for this post

I'm not really a Mariah fan. (I know, don't shoot me). She just doesn't seem authentic enough for me. I know divorce is hard, but she broke out of her shell when she got divorced years ago and never thought to form an identity other than a loose pop-tart.
I'm sorry, no woman over 25 should have her stomach out that much. What if your 38-year old auntie was walking around in the types of clothes Mariah wears? Unacceptable.
But anyway, she's not your 38-year old auntie, she's Mariah, and while I don't care for her, I can't deny her overall fabulousness, nor her amazing vocal strength. Can't pick a favorite song and I would also commit crimes to obtain her shoe collection... I'm just sayin'
:)
I don't have a fav. song but I do think she has the most amazing voice.
my fave mariah carey song is "Breakdown" featuring Bone Thugs in Harmony, "Butterfly" was her best album.
If MC is a loose pop tart then that's what I want to be when I grow up! And if I look like that at her age, I might just shed some layers and strut my stuff too :-)
My All- Mariah Carey
Through The Rain- Mariah Carey
I can't said that Mariah Carey is one of my favorite singers, but I do like "It's Like That" from The Emancipation Of Mimi.
I also like the mimi part.
I really thought that her career was a few years ago. Hell, she was dating Eminem!!! LOL. But she bounced back with this last cd. I can't wait to buy...i mean download the new joint.
I can't pinpoint my favorite Mariah song but "All I Want For Christmas Is You" comes to mind.
i love that butterfly & rainbow cover....my favorite mc song is "breakdown" w/ bone thugs
MC helped me through a rough break up with Someday! hahahah I wonder if his someday ever came...sucka! BTW, MC is one of the few superstars that actually look good chubby. I'm glad she lost the weight though so her haters could shut up.
my favs are honey and always be my baby.
Now I would be lying if I had to choose one favorite song of hers. She is so talented and great at what she do you can't help but LOVE all her music and yes indeed I do. I liked her music from the start and as long as she keep up the great work she is doing I will continue to listen to her music.
I can't wait til her cd comes out I know I will love it as will everyone else.
I like many of you can't choose just one favorite Mariah Carey song! Here are my top picks:
Honey, Fly Like a Bird, My All, Emotions, We Belong Together, Rooftop and Breakdown
