Mariah is looking for a lead actress to play her in the biopic series inspired by her memoir "The Meaning of Mariah Carey".
She told USA Today: “I don’t think it’s about ‘cast the girl who sings the Mariah Carey style,’ whatever that is. It’s about casting a great actress with a somewhat similar look and just making sure the acting is there. Because we have the music—they can sing along to it.”
People on Twitter have been suggesting the following names:
Zendaya
Talia Jackson
Brittany O’Grady
Tori Kelly
Sofia Wylie
Madison Pettis
So, guys, who do you think should play our one and only Mariah?
PS: I really think the girl who played her on the Lifetime movie could be a body double somehow, her name is Jessica Castro and I was amazed about how she looked like Mimi on the beginning of her career. She's the girl on the picture below and her Instagram is: instagram.com/mariahlookalike
