Mariah Carey turns the Big 4-0

Over the past two decades, Mariah Carey has been one of the biggest stars. Her image has been the symbol of youth for the past two decades, but she is no longer a spring chicken. Aside from Janet Jackson, the only relevant star from the 1980s that is still going strong is Mariah Carey.

Ever since her 2008 comeback, Mariah Carey has been the most-popular female R&B singer in the game. Around the time of her comeback, Carey shocked the entertainment world when she married television personality, Nick Cannon. Cannon is still in his twenties, but he was said to be in love with Carey, as she was with him.

Despite being a fixture in the music industry for the past twenty years, it is hard to imagine Mariah Carey being 40 years old. But, she turned 40 back on March 27, 2010, Carey turned 40. She may have turned a corner, but Carey is confident that age is just a number. Mariah Carey has no plans of adjusting her style to her age.
