Mariah Carey went on an incredible and hilarious rant about overhead lighting.
The 55-year-old chart-topping artist – who recently recreated her iconic All I Want For Christmas Is You cover shoot – appeared on the highly popular Las Culturistas podcast hosted by Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang as she blasted unflattering lighting.
The twosome do a segment called ‘I Don’t Think So Honey’ in which their guests are given the opportunity to rant about any subject for a minute.
Mariah pulled no punches as she said: ‘I can’t with the overhead lighting.
‘Why do they do it to us? I shouldn’t say us, it’s not us, it’s me.’

The singer continued hilariously describing her agony by listing out the places which have overhead lighting.
She said: ‘I’m the one who’s the most tortured by the hideous lighting in elevators, doorway, gyms — not that I go to the gym, I’m just saying.
‘It’s hideous lighting. The sun is okay if it’s sunset, I’ll gladly go outside and put a little hat on or whatever and that’ll be pretty because the sunlight caresses your skin.’
After praising natural lighting she finished off her diatribe in epic form.
Mariah concluded: ‘It’s bad for you, so you have to be careful. But overhead lighting I don’t think so honey.
‘Please stop it! Everywhere I go, shut the lights! I don’t want to see them no more. Overhead lighting, it makes me sick!’
Meanwhile just days ago, she paid tribute to her iconic holiday classic, All I Want For Christmas Is You, 30 years after releasing the catchy tune.
The music sensation and ‘Queen of Christmas’ will be re-releasing the song in honor of it’s 30th anniversary – and has recreated the track’s original photo shoot for the single’s cover.

Carey unveiled two of the covers – one of which closely resembles the original shoot – to her Instagram on Wednesday.
The vinyl cover offers an updated twist on the original shoot, which saw Mariah clad in a Santa Claus inspired jumpsuit as she sits in the snow.
In the new edition, the Glitter actress, 55, sports a similar red jumpsuit as she crouches upon a plush fur couch.
Mariah noted in the caption: ‘While it is definitely not time to listen to Christmas music yet ‼️ I wanted to share a glimpse of #MerryChristmas30 with you!
‘An homage to the original album cover, here is the cover art for two of the four new “All I Want For Christmas Is You” physical singles… available for pre-order now.’
The second cover Mariah included in her carousel captured the Glitter actress joyfully posing in a glam white gown with leg slit beside a snowy tree.
That particular cover is set to be for the cassette.
The remaining two other album covers have yet to be unveiled.
