Listening to Rainbow, Mariah Carey's seventh album, it's clear that the best reason to rock this New Year's will be to celebrate the end of the Mariah decade. Her record sales throughout the '90s have grown to rival those of Elvis and the Beatles, and to many ears the Mariah sound has grown indistinguishable from the endless cosmetics aisles and multiplexes of our postmodern world. But there's no pot of gold at the end of Rainbow. The album strips that sound down to its purest form, cleverly obfuscating Mariah's predictably smarmy lyrics with sonorous mumblings...
...Well, he's an unusual type of cad--not the Austen type, really. He genuinely loves [Fanny] and really reassesses his behavior. Nobility inspires him. It's harder to judge him because he's not really all that bad. His affair with Mariah is a typically human thing--how often do people break up and sleep with someone else...
...with the diamond ring scoring $770,000 from an anonymous buyer. Among the less eternal items, which nevertheless sold big during the auction of Monroe memorabilia, were a makeup case (with used cosmetics), which sold for $266,000, and six pictures of her dog that fetched $222,500.

When she burst onto the scene with shrilly bubblegum pop and the trademark range, everyone figured she'd last one year, maybe two. Sure, the songs were catchy (but so were Ace of Base's and look how long they stuck around). But for some reason--even the experts can't explain this one-- she's still making albums. And people buy them! Why??! Every song is the same! Every album is the same! They...
What Durst didn't know is that the petite blond with the big eyes was not just another fan but one of the most strikingly gifted singers to come along since Mariah Carey. Aguilera, 18, is poised to become pop's next female superstar. Her debut single, Genie in a Bottle, took only a few weeks to rise to No. 1 and is generating the kind of genuine enthusiasm on radio and MTV that doesn't come around much anymore. The song reveals a crystalline voice full of wonderful shadings and with a soulful ring that sets her apart...
