Take a look back at MariahCarey's hit-spawning album Rainbow on its 20th birthday
As the turn of the millennium grew closer in the fall of 1999, mainstream music was in the process of repositioning itself for the new century, with the worlds of pop and hip-hop becoming increasingly cozy.

Mariah's soaring vocals have become her trademark, and her confidence in her pipes has been an essential tool in her career since her debut in the early '90s.
