<\/span> I will never forget the first time that I saw Mariah Carey; she was absolutely breathtaking in 1992. My Ma (nana) was flipping through the channels and I caught a glimpse of people running through fields on MTV and I remember saying “Stop! Turn it back!”. And there Mariah was, so carefree!<\/span>
<\/a>Ma was in her 70’s and had no preference about what channel we watched unless it was Matlock<\/i> or In the Heat of the Nigh<\/i>t, so she didn’t mind a little music video. I literally just sat there and watched, taking in every moment. Remember the time when people had talent and didn’t need the special effects to wow you? Yeah, I was amazed at her beautiful voice and easygoing spirit. That is what continues to move me about an amazing artist. As crazy as it sounds, I said to Ma “I want to be like her”. <\/p>\n
