Personal life

During the recording of Music Box, Carey and Mottola became romantically involved.
[286]
They
wed in a lavish ceremony on June 5, 1993, with several high-profile guests includingBarbra
Streisand, Billy Joel, Gloria Estefan and Ozzy Osbourne.
[107]
After the release of Daydream and
the success that followed, Carey began focusing on her personal life, which was a constant
struggle at the time.
[287]
Carey's relationship with Mottola began to deteriorate, due to their
growing creative differences in terms of her albums, as well as his controlling nature.
[287]
The
couple divorced on March 5, 1998.

Carey and actor/comedian Nick Cannon met while they shot her music video for her second
single, "Bye Bye", on an island off the coast ofAntigua.
[288]
On April 30, 2008, Carey married
Cannon at her private estate on Windermere Island in The Bahamas.
[180][289]

After much media speculation, Carey confirmed on October 28, 2010, that she and Cannon were
expecting their first child.
[186][290]
In April 2011, Carey gave birth to fraternal twins via C-
section.
[291]
The twins were named Monroe, after Marilyn Monroe, and Moroccan Scott, after the
location in which Cannon proposed to Carey in her Moroccan-style room; Scott is Cannon's
middle name and his grandmother's maiden name.
[292]
In an interview, Carey stated that her
pregnancy was very difficult; she suffered from high blood pressure, pre-eclampsia,
andgestational diabetes. Before giving birth to the twins, she also said: "I was afraid I wasn't
going to be able to walk properly again, It was a huge strain. I would sit and then someone would
have to help me up. I couldn't go even to the loo by myself. It was just like, 'What are we doing?
Are we going to the hospital?' No, I'm gonna stick it out, I'm gonna keep taking this medicine to
keep these babies in... I made it to 35 weeks and then the doctor said it wasn't safe
anymore".
[293]

Legacy

Carey's vocal style and singing ability have significantly impacted popular and contemporary
music. As music critic G. Brown from The Denver Post wrote, "For better or worse, Mariah
Carey's five-octave range and melismatic style have influenced a generation of pop
singers."
[294]
According to Rolling Stone, "Her mastery of melisma, the fluttering strings of notes
that decorate songs like "Vision of Love", inspired the entire American Idol vocal school, for
better or worse, and virtually every other female R&B singer since the Nineties."
[295]
Jody Rosen
of Slate Magazine wrote of Carey's influence in modern music, calling her the most influential
vocal stylist of the last two decades, the person who made rococo melismatic singing.
[296]
Rosen
further exemplified Carey's influence by drawing parallel with American Idol, which to her, "often
played out as a clash of melisma-mad Mariah wannabes. And, today, nearly 20 years after
Carey's debut, major labels continue to bet the farm on young stars such as the winner of
Britain's X Factor show, Leona Lewis, with her Generation Next gloss on Mariah's big voice and
big hair."
[296]
Sean Daly of St. Petersburg Times wrote, "Depending on how you feel about public
humiliation, the best/worst parts of American Idol are the audition shows, which normally break
down into three distinct parts:(1) The Talented Kids.(2) The Weird Kids.(3) The Mariahs." Daly
further commented, "The Mariahs are the hardest ones to watch, mainly because most of them
think they're reeeaaally good. The poor, disillusioned hopefuls plant themselves in front of
judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson then proceed to stretch, break and
mutilate every note of a song, often Mariah's Hero, a tune that has ruined more throats than
smoker's cough."
[297]
New York Magazine's editor Roger Deckker said that in regarding Carey as
an influential artist in music, he commented that "Whitney Houston may have introduced melisma
(the vocally acrobatic style of lending a word an extra syllable or twenty) to the charts, but it was
Mariahwith her jaw-dropping rangewho made it into America's default sound."
[298]
Deckker
also added that "Every time you turn on American Idol, you are watching her
children".
[298]
Despite her vocal prowess, Carey's vocal technique particularly with the use
of melismaand belting, has been subject to public scrutiny mainly because of young singers such
as from talent shows have been overly imitating her singing technique in which critics
commented "Mariah Carey is, without a doubt, the worst thing to happen to amateur singing
since the karaoke machine".
[297]
As Professor Katherine L. Meizel noted in her book,The
Mediation of Identity Politics in American Idol, "Carey's influence not just stops in the emulation
of melisma or her singing amongst the wannabe's, it's also her persona, her diva, her stardom
which inspires them.... a pre-fame conic look."
[299]

The problem, however, is that for all her talent, the 36-year-old is first and foremost a STAR, the very epitome of
pop opulence in today's celebrity-dependent culture. And thus, millions of young women and men wake up every
morning and figure that, simply by imitating Carey's vocal derring-do, they too can wind up on the cover of People
or on MTV Cribs or on the arm of record mogul Tommy Mottola.
Sean Daly from St. Petersburg Times commenting on Carey's popularity and influence on aspiring singers and
on worldwide talent shows.
[300]

Among the hip hop, pop and R&B artists who have cited Carey as an influence are; Ariana
Grande,
[301]
Britney Spears,
[302]
Beyonc,
[62]
Christina Aguilera,
[303]
Jessica
Simpson,
[281]
Rihanna,
[304]
Kelly Clarkson,
[305]
Nelly Furtado,
[306]
Leona Lewis,
[307]
Brandy
Norwood,
[295]
Pink,
[308]
Mary J. Blige,
[309]
Melanie Fiona
[113]
and Missy Elliott.
[62]
According
to Stevie Wonder, "When people talk about the great influential singers, they talk
about Aretha,Whitney and Mariah. That's a testament to her talent. Her range is that
amazing."
[113]
Beyonc credits Carey's singing and her song "Vision of Love" as influencing her
to begin practicing vocal "runs" as a child, as well as helping her pursue a career as a
musician.
[62]
Rihanna has stated that Carey is one of her major influences and idol.
[304]
Christina
Aguilera said in the early stages of her career that Carey was a big influence in her singing
career and one of her idols.
[303]
According to Pier Dominguez, author of Christina Aguilera: A star
is made, Aguilera has stated how she loved listening to Whitney Houston, but it was Carey who
had the biggest influence on her vocal styling. Carey's carefully choreographed image of a grown
woman struck a chord with Aguilera. Her influence on Aguilera also grew from the fact that both
are of mixed heritage.
[310]
Philip Brasor, editor of The Japan Times, expressed how Carey's vocal
and melismatic style even influenced Asian singers. He wrote that Japanese singer Utada
Hikaru "sang what she heard, from the diaphragm and with her own take on the kind of melisma
that became de rigueur in American pop after the ascendance of Mariah Carey."
[311]
In an article
titled "Out With Mariah's Melisma, In With Kesha's Kick", writer David Browne of The New York
Times discusses how the once ubiquitous melisma pop style suddenly lost in favor of the now
ubiquitous autotune in which the former was heavily popularized by the likes of Mariah Carey and
Whitney Houston.
[312]
Browne had commented "But beginning two decades ago, melisma
overtook pop in a way it hadn't before. Mariah Carey's debut hit from 1990, "Vision of Love,"
followed two years later by Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You," set the bar
insanely high for notes stretched louder, longer and knottier than most pop fans had ever
heard."
[312]
Browne further added "A subsequent generation of singers, including Ms. Aguilera,
Jennifer Hudson and Beyonc, built their careers around melisma. (Men like Brian McKnight and
Tyrese also indulged in it, but women tended to dominate the form.)"
[312]


"Vision of Love"

MENU
0:00
Carey's usage
of melisma throughout
the song was credited
with inspiring several
vocalists and performers
throughout the turn of the
century, and is
considered to have
brought the usage of the
vocal technique to
modern day singers and
talent competitions
around the world to date.

"All I Want for Christmas
Is You"

MENU
0:00
Since its release in 1994,
the song has re-entered
the charts around the
world, and is the best-
selling holiday ringtone
and song in the United
States. Additionally, it
was listed as the number
one Christmas standard
in the United Kingdom,
while being branded the
"last addition to the
holiday collection of
classics." The song has
been covered by several
artists, attesting to its
continued
popularity.

Carey is also credited for introducing R&B and hip hop into mainstream pop culture, and for
popularizing rap as a featuring act through her post-1995 songs.
[62]
Sasha Frere-Jones, editor
of The New Yorker commented, "It became standard for R&B/hip-hop stars like Missy Elliott and
Beyonc, to combine melodies with rapped verses. And young white pop starsincludingBritney
Spears, Jessica Simpson, Christina Aguilera, and 'N Synchave spent much of the past ten
years making pop music that is unmistakably R&B."
[62]
Moreover Jones concludes that "[Carey's]
idea of pairing a female songbird with the leading male MCs of hip-hop changed R&B and,
eventually, all of pop. Although now anyone is free to use this idea, the success of The
Emancipation of Mimi suggests that it still belongs to Carey."
[62]
Judnick Mayard, writer of The
Fader, wrote that in regarding of R&B and hip hop collaboration, "The champion of this
movement is Mariah Carey."
[315]
Mayard also expressed that "To this day ODB and Mariah may
still be the best and most random hip hop collaboration of all time", citing that due to the record
"Fantasy", "R&B and Hip Hop were the best of step siblings."
[315]

Kelfa Sanneh of The New York Times wrote, "In the mid-1990s Ms. Carey pioneered a subgenre
that some people call the thug-love duet. Nowadays clean-cut pop stars are expected to
collaborate with roughneck rappers, but when Ms. Carey teamed up with Ol' Dirty Bastard, of the
Wu-Tang Clan, for the 1995 hit "Fantasy (Remix)", it was a surprise, and a smash."
[316]
Aside from
her pop culture and musical influence, Carey is credited for releasing a classic Christmas song
called "All I Want for Christmas Is You".
[314]
In a retrospective look at Carey's career, Sasha
Frere-Jones of The New Yorker said, the "charming" song was one of Carey's biggest
accomplishments, calling it "one of the few worthy modern additions to the holiday
canon".
[62]
Rolling Stone ranked "All I Want for Christmas Is You" fourth on its Greatest Rock and
Roll Christmas Songs list, calling it a "holiday standard."
[317]
In a review of her Greatest
Hits album, Devon Powers of PopMatters writes that "She has influenced countless female
vocalists after her. At 32, she is already a living legendeven if she never sings another
note."
[318]
While reviewing a concert of Carey in Sydney, Elise Vout ofMTV Australia wrote that
"it's not amazing choreography or high production value you're going to see, it's the larger than
life personality, unique voice, and legend that is Mariah Carey."
[319]
