As her selection of pop, house and soul singles demonstrates, Carey has always seemed a more vulgar version of [Whitney] Houston, the kind of girl who will go anywhere for a hit.

Undeniably effective in chronicling the career of a '90s kind of diva, but it raises the question of what Carey is going to have to do next to remain in the spotlight.
