25 years into the game Mariah Carey is still a strong force in current music. She may not be the dominating force that she was before in the 90's but she still commands a strong audience (see concert), she can still shit down huge iconic territories like her Time Square takeover, she can still turn out decent charting hits (though not like before #Beautiful Was still a hit) and she is still on the minds of Beyonce's, Katy's, Rihanna's, Nicki's Gaga's and all the other younger girls fans, minds. I don't see shania twain on their minds.. Whitney Houston or Celine Dion either. Only mariah!!!! That's because ms Carey is so musical that even with her vocal decline she can stay in touch with current musical climates and reinvent her sound. She has done it since her debut, slightly reinventing this and that audibly which has brought her all this way.. Say what you want but y'all are the ones pressed over some old 40 something year old diva worth 500 mill. When will your fav though?
