...women are natural blondes. Far more sport blonde hair, however—maybe that’s why people think of blondes as fake. If they’re faking their hair color, maybe they’re also faking that happy face to see you smile? (Dolly Parton once quipped that she’s not offended by “all the dumb-blonde jokes because I know I’m not dumb. I’m also not blond.”) But even for those artificial blondes, should hair really be a reason to judge...
...latte, she was providing the sound track for your dinner party, the theme for your prom--or maybe the last dance at your biker bar. The diversity of her admirers wasn't restricted to consumers either; she is almost certainly the only person ever asked to duet with Dolly Parton, OutKast and Elmo from Sesame Street.

Carey does a terrific remake of Def Leppard's Bringin' on the Heartbreak, and Houston turns the cheeseball standard You Light Up My Life into something vaguely moving. Both have succeeded with covers before--Houston famously with Dolly Parton's I Will Always Love You, Carey with Journey's Open Arms and her near-cover of Tom Tom Club's Genius of Love. Perhaps when your own life is unbelievable, it's easier to sing as someone else...
