Sarah Connor
 | | Sarah Connor | Mariah Carey's influence on young female singers has been so pervasive that artists are now beginning to imitate her imitators. German diva Connor may not have the technical prowess of, say, Christina Aguilera or Kelly Clarkson, but her vocal approach, which veers from breathy ostentation to bombastic belting, will sound painfully familiar.
So will helium-fueled hip-hop workouts such as the hit Bounce and maudlin ballads such as Music Is The Key, one of several predictable collaborations with male rap and R&B artists. Connor fares better on the relatively crisp, breezy He's Unbelievable and the blithely funky Mary Jane Girls cover In My House, but in general, her green-eyed soul is a pale facsimile of the real thing.
