it's time she was reevaluated. it's easy to give her a hard time, what with all the tabloid tales of her being a total parody of the demanding superstar, the nervous breakdown stories, the vibrato warbling everyone reckons she does on every record she makes (she doesn't) and the fact that your mum probably likes her. however, i'd contend that she's made some awesome records, has a fucking killer voice and that her new album is way up there in my top five of the year - so, yeah, as far as i'm concerned, big up mariah. thoughts?
