Mariah Carey | 126
We’d be lying to you if we didn’t admit that Mariah Carey is our favorite American songstress. Aside from her spectacular five-octave vocal range and bubbly personality, what we also love about her is that she’s smart－smart enough to expand her resume and include acting, songwriting, record production, and even entrepreneurship. Referred to as the “Songbird Supreme”, she started writing poems and songs while still in high school.
Carey is widely regarded as one of the best-selling recording artists of our current generation and produced countless hits over the course of her professional career. She’s known not only in the United States but in the global landscape as well. She has also received credit for helping charitable organizations and being an ambassador for the World Hunger Relief Movement. In September 2020, she wrote and released her memoir entitled The Meaning of Mariah Carey.
