Mariah runs in my family. My older sister and brother both LOVE Mariah. They both have actually met her.
But I really started stanning for her during the TEOM Era when It's Like That came out. Then WBT and SIO came out and I was like "Mariah is my CHICK!" I remember YouTube had just became popular at the time I went and searched all of Mariah's old video, and I MURDERED that replay button for Heartbreaker (I learned the whole routine!
).
I used to just wonder how in the WORLD could this woman hit all these damn notes in one word let alone the whole song. After I found GodBracelet, I became a complete Mariah-enthusiast.
I know the passage was unnecessary.
I'm really good friends with jeremimi though 
love that
After all this vocal bragging, I thought that I had to get into her - and I was....GOD. THANK GOD, the LORD!!!!! It wasn't hard getting into her; I just listened to her most popular songs, and they were good... So, after starting to get into her I realized that I've actually spent a lot of years of my youth on her music: Obviously All I Want For Christmas was omnipresent, but I can honestly remember the melody to Always Be My Baby, Anytime You Need A Friend (and that feature I Know What You Want.....LOL, of all songs!).
