Music Anyone who saw Mariah Carey's performance on the 'Tribute to Heroes' telethon will have wondered what happened. Her recorded rendition of 'Hero' melts the heart and even live performances at the time sent many a hardened indier reaching for the chocolate and comfort blanket. But watching latest Carey's attempt now felt wrong -- not souless -- just incomplete, sad to see (although not as sad admittedly as seeing Tom Petty looking like a hobo -- but that's another tangent). Equally past her best perhaps is Whitney Houston, who scared the hell out of me the other year when she dragged her daughter on stage to do a turn during the Diva's event. Fametracker examines what has happened to these two former queens and why they've been usurped by the so called pop princesses.
