For the record her she looked the best between around 97-2000.
Along with making creepy pedophile comments and wanting to rape women "for the culture".
Thread title says it all, and I grew up when Mariah was 1st on the scene. She had actual talent, she was top 5 female singers back then and was 
in the looks dept. Some of these IG women nowadays have no talent, companies are trying to push these popular ones into the studio for rap and singing and a lot of them don't have the skillset for either.
India Love opening for Black Eye Peas?

When Mariah first dropped, she was being promoted as "the white Whitney Houston."
Now she cleared this up later on, but when "Vision Of Love" came out, they were saying she was white even
on WBLS in New York. Folks thought she was another "ethnic" New York singer like Taylor Dayne.
Mariah Carey in 1990: Critics Loved Her, Thought She Was White
9/16/2015 by Joe Lynch
When Mariah Carey entered the music world via her blockbuster self-titled debut in 1990, many critics hailed her practically peerless voice and parade of No. 1 hits. Some were less enthused, however, praising her technical talents but opining she needed to develop a more distinct musical approach.
Whether critics were right about Carey's style circa 1990 is a matter for discussion, but one prevalent viewpoint espoused by several writers 25 years ago is just plain wrong.
Namely, that Mariah Carey is white.
As (hopefully) everyone knows at this point, Mariah Carey is not white -- or perhaps more specifically, she's not just white. She's African-American and Venezuelan on her father's side and white Irish on her mother's. But publications from Los Angeles Daily News to Playboy to the Herald Sun described her as "white" throughout 1990, an error that at least two publications (New York Post and USA Today) wrote to correct.
In an article from Dec. 6, 1990, Australia's Herald Sun described Carey as "the new white U.S. soul singer with a reputed eight-octave range." That's wrong on two counts: Aside from not being white, Carey's range is five octaves.
An article from the Los Angeles Daily News (picked up in the Nov. 8 edition of the Chicago Tribune) made the same mistake. The article is primarily about Billboard changing the name of its Hot Black Singles chart to Hot R&B Singles (the chart is now called Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs), but it erroneously mentions Carey as white in a one-off example. "The term 'black music' also has caused confusion when it includes releases by white artists. This week, Mariah Carey's debut album is high on the chart and, in past years, George Michael has had the No. 1 album on the chart," the article reads. (Incidentally, Michael's father was a Greek Cypriot, which many would argue isn't white.)
After Playboy ran an article about Carey in 1990 that described her as a "white girl who can sing," reports surfaced via New York Post that she was furious with the writer of the piece. Shortly after, a spokesperson for Carey set the record straight to USA Today.
