LOL@ Maxdepth! That was a good one. Ms. Carey suffers from NTS. No Talent Syndrome. The symptoms are quite low-key and almost imperceptible at first.
The onset of the disease is typically characterized by a less-than-mediocre album, going Platinum due to slick marketing, screaming schoolgirs, and sexy videos. The transient success experienced by the disease's victim causes the victim to incorrectly perceive Talent, and therefore, success.
The second stage of the disease is characterized by the release of a second album which doesn't do even 1/2 as well as the first, as well as multiiple TV Late Night Show appearances. The victim's brain is usually addled at this point and he/she will dress very inappropriately. This gives the illusion that the victim also suffers from DSS. Diseased Slut Syndrome. This has not been proven nor disproven at the time of the writing of this dissertation.
The last and final stage of the disease (this happens immediately before DVC (Death of the Victim's Career)) is that the victim appears in what could be considered a B-movie, playing the role of a Diseased Slut, suffering from DSS.
NTS is a sad, sickening and 100% fatal disease. There is no known cure at this time.
