Let us set a scene for you. It was 2002, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were an item, Christina Aguilera released Dirrty and The Osbournes debuted on MTV. Children laughed in the streets and joy was in the air.

But life was about to change forever. That year, MTV’s Cribs aired an episode with pop diva Mariah Carey and it was the BEST piece of television the planet had ever seen.

BUT FIRST CHECK OUT THE MOST DRAMATIC CELEB MAKEOVERS EVER....

It was so amazing that 16 years later, we are all still talking about it, sharing gifs of Mimi and just generally wishing it was 2002 and we could all go back and watch the episode for the first time.

If you haven’t seen it, then you need to revaluate life but also witness the most OMG iconic moments...

1. When she took a bath in her towel...

Well, did you expect her to be naked? Or not go in the bath?

2. When she explained that her metallic gold sofa was a serious part of her home...

“Me and my friend don’t even bother coming into this area”. WHAT? WHY?

3. When she showed us the chandelier in her bathroom...

A chandelier. In the loo. Oh and not to mention the armchair “for friends.”

4. When she reminded us of all her ‘help’...

“Don’t I have three people upstairs working for me?”

5. When she was super strict with her pets...

“I got this fish tank and these salt water fish... but I had to get them changed to be nocturnal because they were on the opposite schedule to me.” HOW DARE THEY?

6. When we were shown around her in-home salon...

Where of course the staff worked full-time and when she wasn’t there they “worked on each other.” Sure.

7. When she told us her rule about sitting...

“I have a rule against sitting up straight. I prefer to lounge. So I put this chair here”. A chaise longue in the kitchen. As you do.

8. When she was super down to earth about her awards...

“These are American Music Awards. I’m really proud of them because they represent ‘the people’.”

9. When she worked out in her gym in a pair of heels and mini dress...

But why? “I can stand here and look at New York, and things of that nature.” The most iconic moment from the lot.

10. When she admitted she’d used her shower once...

In the most glorious bathroom of all time she said: “There are too many knobs.”

11. When she refused to show us Marilyn Munroe’s piano...

She had it but it wasn’t for us: "I would show it to you guys, but I can't." Don't worry, she didn't let her friends near it either.

12. When she had her assistant help her change mid-tour...

As in, while she was walking the cameras around. That is talent.

13. When her dog went psycho on her cat...

And she lolled.
