I think this duet of the Jackson 5 classic “I’ll Be There” with Trey Lorenz is even better than the original by the Jackson 5.

It’s also a highly popular choice as a wedding song among many duets.

The lyrics are amazing!

This song, included on her 10th album The Emancipation of Mimi, which she released after overcoming what was considered a slump, was produced by the then-indispensable Jermaine Dupri.

With her nickname “Mimi” in the title, it’s a work that reflects Mariah’s deep personal attachment.

When it comes to Christmas songs from the 1990s, many people likely think of “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” This song, which you as a reader surely know, is Mariah Carey’s classic, released in 1994.

It became a worldwide hit immediately after its release, selling over 16 million records on its own.

Incidentally, it’s said that Mariah Carey has earned more than 5.6 billion yen in royalties from this song alone.

Truly a Christmas dream!

A song in which Mariah, who had been collaborating one after another with hip-hop artists since the late ’90s, finally teamed up with the heavyweight rapper Jay-Z.

I remember listening to it with great expectations.

In the music video, Mariah’s slightly awkward dance is cute and memorable.

In Japan, this is a song many people have likely heard as it was used as a theme for professional baseball.

The collaboration with the popular young rapper T.I.

is fantastic.

Thanks to this song, Mariah taking the mound for a ceremonial first pitch is also a recent memory.
