Yaaas It's a shame Mariah was her most soulful in the first two years of her career Tommy his tyranny. Though I suppose she was never really made for that type of singing.
Sadly Mariah was seen as a label puppet in her early years even though she was doing everything (writing, producing, etc) and try-hard sexy artist in her later years - a hard own fight for Mariah but something that Beyoncé easily got for herself.
