As she was going through her last year in middle school and

about to enter

highschool , (ok, we are talkin' the late 80's everyone) that is

when Mariah

first hit the scene with the video "Vision of Love" which rocketed

her

into total stardom.

Meanwhile, she started to get alot of double takes. Absolute

strangers

even would approach her with comments such as-"Has anyone

ever told you

that you look so much like Mariah?" and are you " Mariah

Carey?" She went

through high school winning look-a-like contests left and right

and

performing for various functions and fundraisers. She was

always being

considered "Mariahs twin" ( which is a total compliment).
