I Think I Actually Understand The Appeal Of Mariah Carey Now

Rich Four Four was constantly being asked about his fascination with Mariah Carey. He tried to explain it in words, but people just stared at him blankly, the way Mariah Carey might if asked a question about science or books. So rather be doomed to a life of frustrated silence, Rich did what he does best: he analyzed tens of hours of Mariah Carey footage in order to create the ultimate six minute explanation of Mariah Carey's appeal. This is no ordinary fan video. This is the ultimate final word on a living legend:

I can't say I like her any more, but I kind of get the fascination a little bit now. She was on Charlie Rose?

I like her, but I can't help but feel slightly sorry for her, and I don't know why. This video makes me feel even more sorry for her.

She's a songwriter? Every song I've seen of hers seems to have about five co-writers.
