After I first heard 'Vision [of Love]' (Carey's debut single) I first started doing runs [singing harmonic variations on scales]

She has the voice of an angel.

When I discovered Mariah Carey and 'Vision of Love,' that was a breath of fresh air. And I adored her from that moment on and idolized her. It's really amazing…

When others would have quit, overcome by the negativity, she soldiered on - a phoenix rising from the ashes.
