<p>Mariah Carey paid a sweet tribute to Ozzy Osbourne two months after his death.</p>
<p>The '90s pop icon got candid about how the late British musician influenced her as a child.</p>
<p>The "We Belong Together" star impressed fans with her vast knowledge of music as she flawlessly won the "Name the Artist" challenge.</p>
<p>In a post shared by Track Star, Carey lit up Central Park with her charisma and star power but the real question was whether she could guess every song correctly.</p>
<p>As she attentively listened to the first song, she managed to answer it correctly and mentioned Janet Jackson.</p>
<p>"We love Janet. Who doesn't love Janet?" she said.</p>

<p>Carey went on to mention Luther Vandross, noting that she was a huge fan of his and even recorded a duet with him on "Endless Love."</p>
<p>As the challenge continued, the award-winning singer correctly identified artists across a wide range of genres, from 2Pac and Fleetwood Mac to DeBarge, New Edition, The Clark Sisters and Brandy. But the biggest surprise came when the host threw in a heavy metal classic, the song "Crazy Train" by none other than rock 'n' roll's Prince of Darkness.</p>
<p>"I really do love this song and I'm really sad that he passed away," she said, adding, "When I was growing up, I listened to this."</p>
<p>Fans were impressed not only by how well-versed she is in music, regardless of the genre, but also by her surprising familiarity with heavy metal songs.</p>
<p>"Mariah loves Ozzy??? I love her even more," one wrote.</p>
<p>Another fan chimed in and revealed the singer's secret 1995 grunge album.</p>
<p>"He got a whole hidden rock album. This woman loves music," a commenter said, referring to Someone's Ugly Daughter.</p>
<p>Ozzy Osbourne passed away on July 22 at the age of 76 due to a cardiac arrest. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019.</p>
<p>Although the late Black Sabbath frontman and the "Give Me All Your Love" singer were rarely seen together, they shared a genuine friendship.</p>
<p>The "Iron Man" hitmaker, along with his wife Sharon Osbourne, even attended Carey's wedding to her ex-husband Tommy Mottola in 1993.</p>
<p>Over the years, she also maintained a warm relationship with the former X Factor judge, once thanking her publicly for visiting during her 2016 Las Vegas residency.</p>
<p>"Thanks so much to my friend Sharon Osbourne for visiting me in Vegas and sprinkling her fairy dust on me. Love you, Sharon!" she wrote in a social media post along with a picture of them after the show.</p>
