Mariah Carey performed for a crowd of over 55 thousand fans in Brazil last evening. The legendary songbird did renditions of many of her biggest hits including ‘My All’, ‘We Belong Together’, ‘I Still Believe’, ‘I Want To Know What Love Is’, ‘Obsessed’ and others. Check out some of her performances below:
‘My All’
‘We Belong Together’
‘I Still Believe’
‘I Want To Know What Love Is’
‘Obsessed’
‘I’ll Be There (Tribute To Michael Jackson)’
‘Always Be My Baby’
‘Hero (Part 1)’
‘Hero (Part 2)’
‘Dreamlover’
Despite claims to the contrary, Carey remains one of the few major vocalists who could still do their older material some justice. Unlike Whitney Houston who has been coughing and hacking her way around the globe for crowds of people who bought tickets to her show without previewing her hot messery on Youtube first, Carey still puts on a good show. Crack is whack.

She sounded amazing. Its refreshing hearing her sing her classic. A certain other vocalist needs to take notes.
omg she is huge precious aint got nothing on her
>_> @ Trent lol. Stop hating pon Whitney
Mariah done good!! 😀
She looks great in that pic, whether or not she’s pregnant. you can’t deny that.
She sounds amazing as well
Wow! Mariah sounded amazing. I haven’t heard her sing that song that good since the 90’s. This makes me excited for her Christmas album…well almost.
Regarding the Whitney comments: I have to agree with Trent. I wanted her to come to the US just so I could say I went to a Whitney concert once in my life but I didn’t want to hear her sing. She has been sounding horrible. Honestly, Rihanna does more for me. Forgive me.
I’ve been watching Sam & Trent go at it on twitter. Too funny!
Love this post!
Mariah sounds so amazing, The Voice is here to stay! haters deal with it.
Good for Mariah. — and as for Whitney, she can cough and hack and do whatever and she still slays.
AMAZING!
You better sang Mariah! I didn’t know she could still blow like that. Where the Whitney stans at? O yeah, they probably have a contact high from going to her concert.
Wow. She sounds sooo amazin! I really love her voice so much! After 20 years, at her + 40 age, she has still GOT IT! Thank you Trent, to share this impressive video w/us. MARIAH CAREY ROCKS !
MARRY ME TRENT!
She’s Fat!
She’s not a MODEL, she’s a singer. And she can SING sooooo f***** good!
I’M A TRENT STAN!
F*** WHITNEY! MARIAH RULES!
I LOVE MARIAH!
OMFG A-MA-ZING!!!!!!! HER VOICE WAS SO ON POINT, JUST LIKE THE 90’S, MAYBE EVEN BETTER!!!!! THE VOICE WAS NEVER GONE. MIMI IS THE QUEEN!!!! HATERS STAYMAD. Mariah’s Baby Bump >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Whitney
O TRENT! I COULD READ YOUR POSTS ALL DAY!
WE CAN GO AT THIS ALL FREAKIN DAY TRENTY BOY…. WILL NEVER EXCUSE THE TRUTH!!!!
So, she is pregnant.
Wow, for starters this performance was 100% live, so lets get that out of the way. There is not question it is completely live, from the various vocal flicks and slight variations from the recorded vocal in 1997. That falsetto is still in tact, Daydream-era style (1:32) and she really commits to singing the verses like she did back in 1997 starting off with a slow murmer and intricate melismas on almost every syllable. Those vocals at the end alone are enough to quiet all these lames saying their favs s*** on Mariah and that Mariah can’t sing anymore. She belted with clarity, power and sustained them without having to delve into the “yeah yeah yeahs”, plus this is the FIRST TIME we’ve heard the FULL ending of “My All post 2005 edition”, the new ending of my all starts with the “feel ya body feel ya body feel ya body baby baby baby” and ends with “for ur love tonite! EH!” LOVES IT MC.
Performances like these, and the Stripped concert (100% LIVE) or HATE U on Letterman should stop all debates about current Mariah and Whitney. Mariah can SANG, not “still sing” but she can sing. Period. Whitney is DONE. There is no way Whiteny can sing any of her old material, s*** or her new material, live now. Ok I’m done lol.
Great performance!
Follow me, MC STAN, http://www.twitter.com/sublime00 (Sublime00)

She is still snatching wigs and putting the new lesser gorls/stranger b****** in their places!! #whosMAD???
Baby bump and still MATTING lacefronts
Why u gotta to mess with Whitney to give Mriah some props. WHit ney had great performances on her tour which grossed trippe what Mariah tour did. I could post some sketchy performances of Mariah as well.
U don’t have to hate on Whitney to give Mariah her props! That’s stank!
Love MIMI!
Please, Mariah did ok but nothing great! Her stage presence is wack, non-existant and this rendition pales to the original.
I’d rather Watch Whtiney any day- watch this clip of Whitney on tour of her new material, ‘I Look to you’ She effing craps on Mariah.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4OsS_jXAC4
DIVA !!!!
YASSSSSS! You better sing, Mrs. Cannon! If she ever starts to tour again, I’ll be right there front and center. Please come to Houston! 🙂 ….ILY <33333333

I like Mariah but when trent does mess like this he does her a disservice. Trent, if you woman enough, post these clips side by side of that ‘my all’ clip- NO COMPARISON!
How about a post on who is the fattest divah! Whitney or Mariah lol I think Mariah wins that one hands down, lol!
NIIIIIIICE!!!! thats all I can say!
Say what ytou want about Mariah…but this womam can still BELT!!!
L E G E N D!!!
a god given talent should not be wasted…..
MC had polished her talent so well!!!
she is still the best female singer the world has ever produced!!!
The last time I checked Whitney’s tour grossed over $32mil and Mariah’s $9mil
Who mad?
These comparisons are silly and trifling.

Trentish where u at- post these in your clip when u try to come for Whitney- You’re a mess!
Whitney still can blow, don’t doubt it
Here goes this B.Q . Trent again…Basic Queen. Most of the follow up comments was about Whitney. seems to me this closet Nip fan just wants to come out. Ms. Trent, why dont u just proclaim to us all that u are trying to be the black Perez Hilton, so we all can feel better reading your comments? Copy cat
I LOVE fat MIMI. And Trent you forget Whitney will always be THE VOICE
there is no need to bring up whitney to compliment mariah…whitney is mariah’s predecessor not her contemporary…and btw if this is amazing then the bar is lower than I thought. i like both women (though i admit to loving whitney much more). that being said i think it is unnecessary and actually kind of annoying that whenever mariah does something there is some conversation around whitney houston. Again I say even if Whitney will never sound the same, she sang those songs that we all love and admire and that should speak volumes. On her best day mariah isn’t even in the same vocal league as whitney houston period. I am glad to see and hear that mariah chose to forgo her lip-synching ways at least for this performance.
Mariah sounded real good here but it amazes me how u guys can be so hypocritical wen just a few weeks ago wen she was in egypt u gave her bad reviews. tsk tsk tsk, smdh smfh. and for WHITNEY HOUSTON leave her alone. she knows she abused the drugs but instead of bringing her down support her and lift her up she is overall ‘THE VOICE” !!!!!!
I still say she is no where near her peak in vocal ability but I agree that she was able to at least do the song justice (BTW, most of today’s respected vocalist could have given the song justice–Mariah use to be in a league of her own). What world does TRENT live in claiming that Mariah is one of FEW major vocalists that can still do their classics justice???? We know that Whitney’s voice is gone but there are plenty of matured major vocalists besides Mariah who can still do their classics justice or better: Gladys Knight, Patti Labelle, Natalie Cole, Anita Baker, Sade, Chaka Khan, etc.
Yes Mam!!! Mariah sounded great!!!! makes me more excited for her new Christmas album!!
This just proves that my girl can still blow all your faves out of the water.
Be seated.
p.s I am now more excited than ever to hear MCC’s upcoming records.
😀
The ONE AND ONLY VOICE!!!!
Sang it! THe one who can STILL do her classics justice.
Mommy Mimi!!!
Why in the hell are you mentioning the Queen Voice Whitney Houston, to compensate that lip singing deceiving chart manipulator name Mariah. Atleast Whitney uses her real voice. Whitney is THE VOICE of all female vocalists, and don’t you forget that
Lovely, pretty, voice, soul, fun and pregnant THE BEST DIVA!!!!!!!
You call that sounding good? Yeah…ok
The original Queen Diva: http://i35.tinypic.com/261drn7.jpg
Stay mad b******.
this is not a great performance at all…….. here are just bunch of deaf people and Whitney haters……… Whitney is so much better, she was coughing on tour because she is sick and she went trough a lot, and Mariah had a joyful life…… whys is Mariah’s voice so damged?
WHITNEY is still the best and can wow with her voice and you are just bunch of haters here…
Just shut all up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations to Mariah if she is pregnant… it is about a time…. she is fading with her voice, maybe she can try to be a judge on IA judging people singing Whitney’s songs!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m the biggest Whitney Houston stan and I agree, Whitney can’t sing anymore – she sounds like crap, Mariah has always been a better singer. I feel so sad now, cause Whit is over. Mariah did sound great yesterday. She’s THE VOICE and no one can’t take it away from her.
Mariah is the voice!!! the best voice to every grace the world. As far as whitney she smoked her voice away. She obviously didnt care about herself or the fans to ruin her gift from god.. Whitney will rot in hell. She is a disgusting human being to cheat people out on hundreds of dollars. I cant wait for mariah to comeback! she’s an amazing talent and beautiful soul for what she does for her fans.
Thank God we still have Mariah who can sing unlike Whitney. Houston’s voice cracks, she struggles to sing any of her songs, she’s out of breath. I love this article. You are 100% right.
Mariah Carey is the most amazing singer ever i love her so much.
I LOVE YOU MARIAH !! any size, any hair color, any outfit; i don’t care. you’re still mariah, you’re still my idol ! <3
THEE VOICE!!!!!
OMG AT “I STILL BLIEVE” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VOCAL REALNESS!!!!!!!
THANK YOU MARIAH FOR COMING BACK TO US!!!!
WE MISSED UR VOCALS!!!
THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!!!!
I FELL IN LOVE WITH MARIAH ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!!!
Whitney who? ROTFL
Mariah is the greatest singer. She sounds great. Cannot wait her new xmas album. It’s gonna be EPIC. THE LEGEND!
I bet all of these Mariah comments are he same two people. You can tell by the illiteracy. Why can’t you lambs come up with Mariah’s own name like THE LIPSYNCHER WHO CANNOT CARRY AN ENTIRE CONCERT! Nice try @Whitneydiva76. I bet you frequent Classic Whitney too…smh
@wdiva76
there is NO lip singing on these videos, 100p live!
MARIAH CAME BACK TO US!!!
THE LIPSYNCHER WHO CANNOT CARRY AN ENTIRE CONCERT!
You are right, Whitney cannot carry an entire concert – she needs to lip sync (For the lovers), cracks (I will always love you + 90% of other songs), she does ‘talk singing”. That’s why we know Whitney’s voice is shot.
Australia anyone? http://www.tmz.com/2010/02/24/whitney-houston-performance-i-will-always-love-you-australia/
Mariah was never a good live performer^^^^^ So tell that lie elswhere
So who are you on CW? Don’t worry, I am about to record your IP address and expose you
She looks ugly as hell but she hasn’t been singing that well for over a decade (so I guess cudos for the gain of weight)
Mariah sounding like a dead cat. Thank god for studio trickery

Everybody on Classic Whitney knows I am that girl with a cheap wig on and the biggest stan of Whitney. But I am used to the fact Whitney can’t sing anymore. She’s just a shadow of her former self. I used to be insecure but not anymore. Whitney is just the next Rihanna. Sad but true, I know.
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY TRENT LYING TO HIS FOLLOWERS ON TWITTER ABOUT MARIAH CAREY HEADLINE HER OWN CONCERT IN BRAZIL AND SHE IS PERFORMING IN A SOLD OUR 50K SHOW ………FIRST OF ALL WE ALL KNOW MARIAH IS HEADLINING A COWBOY FESTIVAL IN BRAZIL AND NOT HER OWN CONCERT ………. WHICH MEANS SHE IS ONT THE ONLY PERSON PERFORMING, SO PLS PLS PLS STOP THE LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#FACT RIHANNA CAN SING BETTER THAN MARIAH OF TODAY.
RIHANNA>>>>>>>>>MARIAH CAREY
Guys, stop it! Whitney in her peak used to be nearly as good as Mariah, but we snorted coke. Crack is whack. Period!
BUT SERIOUSLY WT HAPPENED TO HER. I GUESS SHE’S HAPPY NOW SO SHE CAN LET HERSELF GO BUT DAMN.
CHECK OUT MY NEW ENTERTAINMENT SITE >>>> http://WWW.FRESHURBANENT.CO.UK
MARIAH CAREY “THE VOICE”, THE GREATEST SINGER EVER!!!!!!! RESPECT DAT & #STAYMAD!!
MARIAH DID THE DAMN THANG!!!! SHE WHAT A LITTLE REST CAN DO FOR YA!!
I can’t watch Mariah- her twitching and nevous tweaks makes it awkward to watch her. She has zero stage presence and that rapunzel weave is making it worse.
Love Mariah but don’t count Whitney out. The girl hit some rough patches but can still blow. Remember she blew all these other so called divas away on The American Music Awards just last year. i saw her in Japan on this last tour and she was amazing. The press is only reporting the bad stuff.
Snatch those wigs Queen Mariah!!!
^ Whitney might have stage presence but she has no voice. Mariah all the way!
Yes Whitney took coke, she admitted to that and got better. Mariah went freaking crazy and had to go to a loony bin, mariah drinks and there’s clips of her drunk on youtube acting a mess.
So what! move on Bobby! if u gonna compare them, compare there artistry not taking silly potshots at Whtiney because Mariah has her fair share of dirt as well.
There is only one female given the moniker ‘The voice’ and the last time I checked it’s Whitney Elizabeth Houston aka Nippy
I saw Whitney in Japan too and she was incredible. I was actually starting to believe all the hype. The girl was shaking the rafters with that power. I like Mariah but even when I saw her back in the day she wasn’t as good as Whitney last year.
All these frigging Mariah stans coming for Whtiney, that’s fine but where were you when her album came out, Mariah = Gold, Whitney = Platinum lol
@ Fake Chimier
Next time, if you wanna imitate me, come better. Whitney who you ask? Whitney Houston, that’s who.
The greatest singer is Ella.
And yet who is the biggest selling female artist of all time?
Whitney could never have sung ‘My All’ even circa 1992. It’s just the truth. Don’t get me wrong, Whitney could BLOW (and no, it’s not a pun. :)) but Mariah was simply better.
And I mean that musically and vocally.
But I still never shade Whitney to this day, because the woman is a legend. End of story.
FIRST OF ALL, LET ME JUST SAY THAT THE QUEEN WAS FEELIN HERSELF LAST NIGHT! LOL! I CAN’T BELIEVE SHE SANG “I STILL BELIEVE”! SHE HASN’T SUNG SINCE 1902! LOL BESIDES SOUNDING GREAT, SHE WAS IN GREAT SPIRIT AS WELL. SHE SEEMED HAPPY TO BE THERE AND HAPPY TO BE ON STAGE. HER LIL BELLY IS CUTE TO. IT HAD ME TEAR UP LAST NIGHT AS IF IT WERE MY OWN LOL.
NOW,
I CAN’T STOP LAUGHING AT THE WHITNEY STANS POSTING THOSE PERFORMANCES AS IF THEY’RE MAKING THEIR GIRL LOOK ANY BETTER. SHE STILL SOUNDED A FOOL AND THAT’S JUST THE REALITY OF IT. AND FROM THE SOUND OF THOSE CLIPS, SEEMS LIKE MISS SOPRANO WAS ON ANOTHER NIGHT OFF… AND ANOTHER NIGHT…. AND ANOTHER NIGHT…
JUST FACE AND GET OVER IT. I HAVE. MARIAH>>>WHITNEY AND THAT’S HOW IT’LL REMAIN. DEAL WITH THE FACTS.
Bongs, chill out. Trent is 100% right. Mariah is da best!
Chimer, I know you hate on Screamtina Copyliera, lol.
Love them both. What is with all the Whitney hate? Same crap was done to Mariah a bit back. Why beat these performers when they are down? After all they have given us. Did we learn nothing from the Michael Jackson situation? They get along and suppport one another why can’t their fans? Whitney will come back and blow everyone away (she always does. Have we not learned that yet?) And the same goes for Mariah.
Jeremy, Whitney’s voice is done. How is she supposed to come back and blow everyone away? She sounds like Kanye without auto-tune.
I guess that is why Whitney is dubbed the greatest female vocalist of all time. Look how much Whitney has toured vs Mariah. Mariah even said herself that she has no stage charisma….and it shows. Whitney can sit in one spot and sing the hell out of a song with ease, while Mariah is whaling all over the stage to get her flat notes out.
All Whitney has to do is walk on a stage and she gets standing ovations. Whitney set the vocal standards for any female vocalist who came after her, including Mariah.
Not to mention, Whitney slayed Mariah on When You Believe, recorded version and live version. Mariah could never sing I Will Always Love You.
*Cries and Dies @ Douglas’ comment* lmaooooo
Whitney’s voice is done? Boy are you bytches in store for a nice surprise. Mariah could not even sell out a 5k arena, while Whitney was across the globe doing 10k+…easily
Good for Mariah! I saw a concert of hers and she wasn’t very good but I didn’t count her out. She is human. I still believe is one of my favorites. And i still believe in Whitney (pardon the pun) That I Look To You performance that was posted was really good. I am hearing a lot about the media overhyping the voice gone thing. Obviously she can still sing. Honestly if either one of these girls never sang another note they would both still deserve more respect than what some are giving them.
@TranDiva76 It’s REAL cute that you think just because Mariah let her get away with that one performance that it’d happen again. Let’s not forget that it was MARIAH who had Whitney bending backwards, stomping her feet and screaming into the mic as it touched her lips (As always) on Oprah. She struggled.
You better ALL hope that they NEVER sing this song in 2010 or any year after ’cause if they do… Whitney and her fans are in for ANOTHER rude awakening.
And it’s CUTE that Whitney was selling out her concerts and had all of those people in attendance but MISS SOPRANO showed up to not one show. Explain that.
Wow Douglas didn’t get Jeremy’s point at all did he? Unbelievable. I am a Mariah fan and I don’t think he represents the majority of us. RIP Micahel Jackson.
is it safe to say that Mrs. Cannon is pregnant? I hope so. I wish more artists didnt forgo their careers at the detriment of their biological clock. (HEY BEyONCE)
The delusional lambs. Whitney does not rely on studio trickery and layered vocals, cause she is a natural singer. She does not get on stage and lipsynch and deceive her fans like Mariah. But what do you expect from a bunch airhead idiots
I love these performances <3
————————————————
Q: Why do bongs always mention Whitney's stage presence?
A: Because that's the only thing that left from pre-crack Whitney and that's nothing to be proud of. Her voice is gone.
Her water broke when she hit that one note lmao she still got it yall!!!!!!!!!!
The thing with Mariah is with all she has done and with all the awards and accolades she still gets stuck in this Whitney/Mariah nonexistant rivalry. It really belittles her talent and her fans. Thank goodness for them both. Without them the music industry would have been a sad place for the last twenty or so years.
Had that been CRACKney on stage last night, those poor Brazilians would ALL be in the E.R.
@knicole
B is only 28. Why don’t people ever ask guys why they aren’t having kids? I would rather B tour and be a visible presence for a few more years, then have kids maybe around 34 or 35. JLO did the same kind of thing and she has more time to look after them now that her career has slowed down.
B has still got plenty of time. 🙂
WDiva76, protools were in heave use on Whitney’s last album. Her live performances says it all. That’s why it took her 5 years to release it.
“After half a dozen songs she left the stage for twenty minutes to take a break, bringing on her brother, Gary Houston, to sing in her absence.
The band and backing singers then performed an energetic version of one of her biggest hits, Queen of the Night, from The Bodyguard soundtrack.
One fan interviewed on Australian TV after the show said: ‘It was a disgrace.
‘She can’t sing. She didn’t sing one song properly.
‘She was disorientated and she needed a 20-minute break. It was the first concert I have walked out of in my life.’
Another fan said: ‘She couldn’t entertain a dead rat, to be honest.'”
okay… trent will are you being messy! we know whitney cant sing like that anymore! what was your point of saying that s***? plus this was about mariah! that whitney vs. mariah s*** is played! stop bringing it up!
@XTINA: Another fan said: ‘She couldn’t entertain a dead rat, to be honest.’”
______________________________________________________________
^ LMAO. But yes Mimi’s performances were great! But she looks like a pretty version of Tiny these days…
trent your always bitching about artists using backing tracks too much? um hello… “i want to know what love is?” you’re such a f****** hypocrite when it comes to what mariah does.
Whitney sucks IMO. Mariah is far better and she’s always been.
Mariah does sound a little better. I’m sure she’s having a baby and that’s the reason why she’s clean and hasn’t gone on her routine drinking binges. Her voice has improved, but no matter how you slice it she still has permanently damaged her dog whistle. Whitney’s damaged her voice as well, it’s nothing to be happy about! Nobody but us fans lose out! Mariah stans sure know how to get an inch and take a mile. I’m happy to see her in better shape though.
i still believe was AMAZING, she is amazing. She is the best vocalist, hands down.
This is why Mariah is the best singer.
She still sucks. LOL @ her constantly doing that stuttering thing on a note because she can’t hold it. Whitney is worse but she has REASON to be worse. At least on HER tour, she performed in arenas. :))
First of all Mariah AND Whitney are the two greatest vocalists of all time, but they are far from where they were at their peak. With that said, all the Whitney stans can argue all they want, but they can’t deny from watching these videos, that Mariah can still SANG. That is why she is a living legend. It doesn’t matter how big she gets, because at the end of the day, she is a mother f****** singer that still has one of the greatest voices.
Mimi! gotta love that woman
@MUSIC LOVER
Very well said. Mariah is the legend!
@MUSIC LOVER
Very well said. Mimi is the legend!
i wish the ppl in the audience wouldve stfu
they sounded horrible
okay,so I’m gonna post some facts about vocalists.
Whitney and Mariah happen to be the Two greatest singers of all time,even ahead of Aretha.
While whitney’s tone is stronger which allowed people to believe that she’s the better singer,
mariah has the astronomical range.
Whitney’s run and Riffs cannot be matched by mariah.
Mariah’s chest voice is more resonant and she could belt upto G5 in pure chest while whitney used to mix her chest voice even in her prime.
Whitney’s mid chest range is more resonant while mariah’s upper chest voice is more resonant.
Mariah’s vocal coloring is unmatched and so is her ability to jump octaves.
Whitney’s voice was a force of nature mainly due to it’s invincible sounding tone back in her prime.
Mariah could/can sing words in the whistle register,while whitney cannot.
Mariah has the edge over Whitney,nothing more.They two are Greater than the greatest.
Back to the topic,Mariah has made amazing improvisations and re-interpretations.My all,ABMB,IBT were amazing from start to end.
now that was amazing gave me a flash back at the 90s love this woman
Very impressive!!
glad she can still do it like she used to.
and she looked good too
Trent,twas VERY childish to throw shade on whitney cuz she maintained her voice for 20 years too.
But i’m also disappointed with whitney fans who did not give props to carey for these performances.
I’m afraid that whitney cannot sing in tune to some of these songs(ABMB,My all,I’ll be there,Dreamlover),let alone belt like Carey.
You should always give credit where it is due.
Joanna, SIT. :))
Whitney vs. Aretha is arguable. Mariah vs. Aretha is not and never will it be. You didn’t see her f*** up “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” right NEXT to Aretha on Divas Live 1998? Please.
“While whitney’s tone is stronger which allowed people to believe that she’s the better singer,” No, that means she had a better voice :))
And y’all better keep letting Mariah trick y’all into thinking that it’s what notes you hit and not how you hit them. Mariah belted G5 ONCE and y’all act a fool.
“Whitney’s mid chest range is more resonant while mariah’s upper chest voice is more resonant.” WHAT? :)) Whitney got her in BOTH. If a singer’s mid-range is weak, their upper range is not suddenly going to become stronger than ANYONE else’s unless they’re a soprano (and that’s a maybe). Mariah is NOT a soprano so…
What is “vocal coloring”? Is Mariah bringing crayons on stage now? Colored pencils? “Vocal color” which is what I HOPE you meant, isn’t something that gets “better” or “worse”. A dark voice isn’t automatically better than a “bright” voice or vice versa. It’s just DIFFERENT.
Whitney’s “invincible sounding tone” is a little thing called “POWER”. Something Mariah lacks.
“Mariah could/can sing words in the whistle register,while whitney cannot.” WHEN? :)) And F*** whistle register. Unless your name is Minnie Riperton, we are here for the modal voice, not FALSE voices.
———————>
“Chimer, I know you hate on Screamtina Copyliera, lol.”- LOL at you accusing me of hating when you’re using such juvenile names. My view on Christina is based on what I’ve seen and heard from HER, not her in comparison to anyone else. The only time I bring up others is when her stans start talking about other artists in comparison to her, thus I give examples of why others are better. I don’t bring them out the blue. Try again next time.
And to the idiot who said Whitney and Mariah exceed Aretha and that Mariah belts up to G5 in pure chest, I ridicule you.
‘Another fan said: ‘She couldn’t entertain a dead rat, to be honest.’”’- I should hope not. The rat is….(wait for it)…..DEAD. Whoever has the ability to entertain the dead, whether a plant, rat or person, is undoubtedly the greatest performer and entertainer of all time.
She’s definitely preggers.
The 5 octavial Prima Donna is back.
P.S. Just realised she sluaghtered Hero(it was barely lipped)
Is MC pregers???
I just stated the truth.Mariah is a better vocalist than Whitney.
You ain’t gonna fool no body with your unfounded comebacks for which i HAVE.NO.TIME.
chimier,you ridicule no one.You a fool.
IF U THINK MARIAH SOUNDED AMAZING U TONE DEAF!!
@Joanna No she isn’t.
“Unfounded comebacks” GIRL SIT. You don’t even know what “vocal color” is tombout some unfounded. Shut UP. *CACKLES*
Whats up with the Whitney hate? LOL at trent for always doggin on Whitney. Mariah and her lambs are still riding on Whitney’s coat tail’s to this day. So many published blogs have mariah articles with references to Whitney but never really the other way around.
Mariah sounds OK but theres still room for improvement.
PS.. Trent needs a long hard look in the mirror, what a control freak and master manipulator. LOL, Whats up with Mariah’s lamb’s
She’s pregnant. You can see the bump. Good vocalist though.
99% of you talking negatively about Mariah clearly haven’t even watched one of the videos posted above… smh. And if you think she’s lip singing?… that only proves that my previous statement is correct. Don’t make blind statements – it makes you look like an idiot and people will only skip over your comments.
That last part about Whitney in the article was completely unnecessary…
Her shirt shoulda said:
“IF YOU LIKE A TON OF FUN,
YOU’LL LOVE ME”
Thata been a better way of puttin it!!!
@Joanna
No, b****, I ridicule you. Heavily.
#1- Pure chest voice for a female ends at F#4, which is around where the first passagio happens.
#2- Nothing you said proved why Mariah is a better vocalist. Do you even know what vocal color is, how you achieve it and how you can manipulate it?
Of course Whitney can’t sing now, because her vocals have been destroyed by her extensive drug abuse. But had she not abused herself, she still would be able to blow EVERYONE (and that includes Mariah, no shade to her though) out of the water. People talk as though Whit’s voice naturally eroded or something. But in her glory days, she was THE voice, and my opinion, the superior vocalist to the one she’s always compared to. Now you may wanna argue that Mariah is a better artist cause she writes her own songs, and blah, blah, blah, but artistic merit isn’t what it up for debate here. In my opinion, (pre-crack) Whitney made all her contemporaries sit the f*** down. For me, there is no debate as to who I believe to be the superior singer.
And yes, Mariah is undeniably pregnant, so congrats to her and Nick on their first child.

ANY MARIAH FAN BRAVE ENOUGHT TO WATCH THESE WHITNEY CLIPS AND THEN SAY SHE CAN’T SING IS A R*****!
Whitney may be coughing her way thru performances, but Mariah lypsincs half of her songs. Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones!
Jay Z definitely called MiMi “The Voice” on Shake it off (Remix) Yall Mad!?
MS. KELLY ROWLAND IS FEATURED ON VHI 1 POP COUTURE!!!! CHECK HER OUT @ THE LINK BELOW!

After listening to a few more performances I have to admit that my earlier comments were to negative. I believe these performances confirm that Mariah is consistently showing signs of a vocal comeback. She may never reach her peak again but she has made much improvement from a string of earlier weak performances. Whitney on the other hand shows no signs of improvement and the damage she did to her voice is sadly probably permanent. I agree with those who say Whitney was a better live performer than Mariah back in the day but those days are long gone, the past is the past and the present is the present. Whitney can’t still be ‘the voice’ if she no longer has one. Let it go, poor Whit can barely talk now a days. BTW, I wish the fans weren’t singing so loud in these recordings, don’t they have any desire to hear Mariah?
Some of u guys still continue to hate on Mariah ..yes she’s gotten fat and soo….. what does that mean..that makes her less or person or vocalist.. u ppl are f***** dumb who say s*** like that!! n ways.. Mariah did her damn thing! i really enjoyed her performances! Kudos Mimi Kudos <3
~Lamb4LIFE~
mariah shouldve sound like this at MJ funeral because she sounded like HOT ASS S*** AND SHE KNEW IT.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV5Te6zB_Rk
that is called singing……….
I love this woman to death! Loved My all! I can’t wait for her X-mas album. There’s no need to talk trash about Whitney though. She might not be able to sing like back in the day what else is new? It’s a shame but she will still always be considered one of the best vocalist ever just like Mariah. People saying Whitney blows Mariah out of the water just can’t see it objectively. Just like when people say Mariah blows Whitney out of the water. I have always prefered Mariah as a singer and artist but that doesn’t mean I can’t acknowledge Whitney’s insane talent. Why can’t people just appreciate both? They are both rare talents!
What a fat cow — no way is she pregnant – if she were – she would not be in the running for an American Idol judge – she would be giving birth around the time the show goes live – so she is not pregnant – she is fat and gross. And Whitney – STILL sounds better than Mariah any day – she always will.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGaJz0VppVA&feature=related
there is no one like Whitney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She sounded good. I wouldn’t say great cause that’s the word I use for her vocal performances in the 90s. But these clips certainly did make me happy! Cause it can kinda go either way with Mariah nowadays. I love Whitney too though. She might not sound that great live anymore but even with her voice now, she can sing better than most people. And she still sounds great on record.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VIVAazCje4&feature=youtu.be
that is an example of strength, unbelievable talent and love ……. what a talent…….after all she has been trough, she is still alive and still can sing like no other…….. there is no need to trash her here…….. both women are extremely talented and like each other and two best vocalists… why not to praise them both………..but Whitney is still the one!!!!!!!! just listen to that voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE QUEEN IS BACK!!!!!!!! HATERS STAY #MAD
Where’s Sam? He’s GOT to get rid of this no talent idiot Trent. He’s basically ruined the credibility of this blog via his Mimoo Mariah obsessed stanning. Editing comments to suit his vile agenda has nothing to do with journalistic integrity but hypocrisy and “pot meet kettle” postings. What a total moronic control freak with a luggage of insecurities. Typical over dramatic gay d*****!
DUMP THIS JACKASS!
queen WHITNEY, RIGHT?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VIVAazCje4&feature=youtu.be
She is the best. Maybe she has lost a little bit of the smoothness and power that she had from her Vision of Love era, but she is still miles ahead of the ‘singers’ we have today.

Mariah can not hold single note Whitney can do now, just look…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VIVAazCje4&feature=youtu.be
Mariah is the voice, Whitney is the voice, they are two of the greatest singers EVER. She slayed ! anyone who says differently is just being an ass.
WHITNEY IS THE VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO I see we are bring up Whitney “THE VOICE” Houston again to drum up posts huh Trent???? Y don’t you come out the closet already….. U know Ur a Whitney fan among other things. Hey Lambs, Oprah and everyone else in there right mind gave Whitney the name “The Voice” She never once called herself that while Mariah tries to force that title on you, which she stole from Whitney of course. Even back in ’99 Oprah asked Mariah how it was working with “THE VOICE.” You idiots… But Yall say what you want about Whitney, he legendary impact is still in all of your heads, thats why she comes up every time Mariah “The STUDENT” Carey is mentioned… Carry on…. WHITNEY IS THE VOICE>>>>>> ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whitney used to be a great singer… I still listen to her CDs which are still one my greatest possessions!!!
She is already a legend…
Mariah was the greatest female singer in the 90’s and is still is reigning supreme as the best female artist of this generation!!1
I love WH & MC their talent is undeniable!!!
Mariah shut tat show down! I’m so happy I almost cried.
Whitney + Beyonce >>> Mimi >>> Xtina.
NOW:
Beyonce >>> Whitney
Beyonce >>> Mariah
Beyonce >>> Xtina
Mariah has a better range than whitney.
She could reach vocal heights that was beyond the scope of Whitney namely the clear G5s and the All-famous whistle register.
To the person who pointed out that Minnie Riperton is better at the whistle register:
Carey’s performance of Emotions and most recently,the whistle on For the Record outdoes Riperton’s oeuvre as far as her singing in whistle register is concerned.
Carey’s voice,circa 1992-3 had sheer puissance ,even more so than Whitney’s,proved by her Grammy performance of If it’s over in 1992.
Houston would not have been able to sing like Carey on tracks like All I’ve ever wanted,O holy Night,Subtle Invitation,Mine Again simply because she cannot hit those notes.
I do agree Houston has far better stage presence but it all really stems from self confidence and self esteem..both which Carey lacks.
Carey is perhaps the only vocalist who can rival Franklin’s status as being the Greatest singer of all time.
Well of course MARIUS CHRIST is flawless as usual.
She was always the superior vocalist to Whitney IMO.
Sadly, after her crack days Whitney lost whatever merit she had so Marius is yet again still on top.
It is a shame though, vocalist like Whitney & Mariah come once every 100 years or so lol.
And COLLAPSES @ Beyonce.
Yes she’s a good singer -obviously one of the better ones esp in this age of auto-tune-…. BUT Xtina [when she’s not screaming her head off], Whitney & Mariah at their best could WHISPER circles around that b****.
Beyonce’s more comparable to Leona Lewis / Alicia Keys types.
beyonce is able to do runs and riffs spanning a couple of notes.Nothing More.
To say she’s better than Carey is travesty.
It’s like saying Dion is better than Franklin.Imagine the horror!
And are Whitney fans actually throwing shade at Marius ?
*DEAD*
The reviews of Whitney’s lats tour are the only proof we need that she’s done.
I Look To You was a nice album though and I actually prefer how she sang on it to her older work but still, her live voice is done.
Loved her performances !!!! Shouts to any ukmixers out there ! the bastards banned me cuz I screwed madonna over and over in the CA section! LOLOL
LOL @ UMYA
Beyonce sings circles around Leona & Alicia Keys & mary J Blige. Thats why I always compare her to more elite vocalist like Whitney & Mariah. Bey has always been a under rated vocalist. Beyonce can hold her own against all those B******… She has a combination of voice, control, technique, Range(3.5), Power & a Vibrato that puts her well above any of her peers. & we all know Mariah can not see Beyonce these days, Never!!.
with all the comments pitting Mariah to other female artist old & new just proves one thing…
that Mariah Carey is the benchmark for perfection but she herself put the bar so high that anyone compared to her would only eat dust!!!!
@S***
Um, where did Mary J come from ? She obviously isn’t on Beyonce/ Mariah/ Whitney levels vocally. Her style is more Emotive/Expressive than Impressive which is what singing is really about. Same with Alicia.
Leona’s over-rated [moreso by her fans & $Imon Cowell] & I think Beyonce is too.
Noone is denying that Beyonce can sing. Her Mellisa [Runs] is really the only thing that puts her above most of her peers but that’s it. Her fans go on about Listen but honestly her voice was so grating on that song. Idk it’s just her tone when belting out her notes+the runs that makes her sound the same all the time.
And does anyone think Listen [in terms of vocals] is in the same ball park with Mariah’s Vision Of Love Whitney’s version of I will always love you or even Xtina’s You Lost Me ?
@ UMYA
You just said all the truth.
*Applause*
SHOW EM HOW ITS DONE QUEEN! THE VOICE
THE VOICE
THE VOICE
THE VOICE
Mariah Carey. The one. The only. THE QUEEN. 20 years and STILL showing em h*** how its done
whos Whitney? I dont know her. Is she that cracked voice, cracked skin, cracked career, cracked sales, cracked songs, cracked wig? If that’s her, LOL. JUST LOL!
^^^ UMYA
The difference is that Bey is not a Ballad-Teer like those other gals you mentioned. Bey is too versatile to be one. Her song Dangerously in love & Listen would be her best examples of a Big Power Ballad but shes only just getting started musically. & vocally Bey is way more impressive beyond just her runs, her tone/voice is just as unique as Mariah’s. & to answer your question, Yes it is. There all great singers. 🙂
Mariah & Whitney are both great artists, but I have to admit I listen way more often to Mariah. You can’t hate on Whitney, even if she has lost her voice, she is still a legend. She has achieved so many things in her career & I really don’t want to judge her voice, because she had some serious problems in her past.
Mariah still can blow (‘I Still Believe’ & ‘We Belong Together’ were pretty good!), of course she can’t sing like she used to, you idiots. I bet your grandma can’t dance like Ciara anymore lol. That would be the same. But Mariah’s voice is still beautiful & she still can do some incredible notes (‘For The Record’, ‘H.A.T.E. U’, ‘Inseparable’ etc.).
wow!!! Great performance from the one and only “MC”…
i’m sorry to say this but i pity whitney’s fans who’s really trying their best to defend her…
i think u should stop that shameful thing and let go of her, u’r just fooling urself defending her even though the whole world already knows what happened to her and that she can’t sing anymore….
i watch her current videos and all i can say is that whitney is a great story teller and not a singer anymore!!!!….
got it?????…….got it!!!!!!!!!LOL…
NO HURT FEELINGS…JUST TELLING THE TRUTH!!!…
Ka,LUrky ka teh!!!
No joke, Mariah absolutely slayed these performances! Really did her back catalogue justice. She is amazing. ‘I Still Believe’ sounded soooo beautiful.
I’ve got high hopes for her really really SANGIN’ on her Christmas disc.
She sounds amazing.
Trent, you’ve posted “I’ll Be There” twice and left out the “Always Be My Baby” video, which is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQZ9Rq-_Uak
I am lmbo at how Trentisha and the lambs regularly have to look to Whitney to validate Mariah. If you want to praise Mariah, praise her. Why drag Whitney into it. Does that make the lambs feel better. It just shows how insecure and immature you guys are but I can’t blame you because Mariah herself is insecure.
You guys say Whitney can’ t sing and have lost her voice. That’s just plain hating and stupid. Any of the clips posted in this thread disproves that notion and if lambs are brave enough to watch and be objective they would not be saying that mess.
Whitney is a LEGEND, ICON and The VOICE! She is loved, respected and looked up to for her gifts and contributions.
Mariah doesn’t sound bad in these clips. She sounds good but a far cry from g reat and I dare say that she does lip some of the parts.
Again, let’s check the stats:
Whitney tour grossed over $32mil to be the #14 best selling tour WW, Mariah what!
Mimi tour grossed around $9mil
ILTY platinum US 966k WW 2.5mil
MOIA gold 501k WW 870k
GIve it a rest! You shouldn’t have to rip into someone to hype your fave and again, Whitney sufferend marital abuse and substance abuse. She admitted that. Mariah suffered marital abuse, suffered a break down, went to a crazy bin and abuse(s) alcohol. Either leave Whitney alone or bring up the spots on mariah’s life as well.
They are both humans and humans are not perfect. However, Ic an tell you watching Whitney sing gospel or her love medley on tour moved me more than anything above.
Stupid Trent refuses to acknowledge that Whitney was hospitalized for a serious upper respiratory infection adn was on Prednisone steroid which increases weight.
Anyway, just lol at how the labms have to diss other singers. Remember you guys did this before MOIA came out and what happened, it flopped! All of this hate just turns people off Mariah and makes them not want to purchase anything from her. Keep hating on other artists!
AMAZING VOCALS! Mariah Rocks, She is always the best!
I gotta tell that Keke that Whitney’s album also flopped!!!!!!!!!! How many years have been since her last album, and how many copies has been sold of her last album! It’s a shame that you compared LLTY with MOAIA, why not TEOM? the same of MOAIA Tour, why not TAOM? You can’t deny that Whitney’s voice has gone! Denial is shameful! Anyway, Whitney is one of the greatest singers and a legend!
AND REMENBER THAT Mariah almost had an album come out EVERY YEAR!
@jinzien- you’re an a***! but you’re right about one thing, Whitney IS absolutely a great storyteller and many of the greats are recognized by their ability to tell a story and interpret a lyric/song.
This has always been one of Whitney’s strong points and in those cclips above, she’s actually masterful in it because she MAKES you feel and takes you on her journey. With her singing gospel, she takes you the church and she testifies about her life.
google whitney houston i love the lord milan or manchester
Her trademark is that she nver sings a song the same way which is another reason why she never lips!
Aretha, Gladys, Ella, Billie are all known as great interpreters of lyrics and Whitney today fits right in.
Her interpretations (all of them) of I look to you are all different but all spellbinding. She pulls you in. Her interpretations of ‘Strength’ same!
again, why the need to bring Whit into this conversation. What you guys haven’t learned form MOIA is that you are turning off a lot of people who like BOTH whitney and Mariah.
Keep it up, let Trent drive you guys over a clift.
It’s ok to give Mariah props for improved vocals without tearing down and disrespecting one of the greatest singers who ever stepped on stage. i.e Mariah’s teacher! It’s getting all very old and tiring and I for one am getting turned off from Mariah because of her silly, juvenile stans.
Jeremy
why would they compare ILTY to TEOM- they didn’t come out the same time and you fail to realize that album sales in 2005 were much more abundant than in 2009.
The last time I checked, ILTY was the top 22 album of 2009 with only 4mths of release. For female artists, Whitney was the #5 best selling artists for albums released in 2009. ILTY sold 2.5mil WW and that my friend is far from a flop.
At this point in their lives, they are catering to two different bases:
Whitney Ac/urban ac/r*b
Mariah: urban, hip-hop, somewhat ac
Give it a rest. Facts were posted not wisha coulda shoulda compare to something Mariah did 5yrs ago
@ Jeremy , why would Keke do anything other than compare both artist lastest efforts. I look to you was Whitney most recent work, just like Memoirs is Mariah’s. I have to agree with her on the fact that Mimi stans also “look to Whitney” to validate Mariah. I honestly have said it before these two (when it comes to talent) are incredibly close. It’s not like the Janet vs Madonna war, Janet totally slaughters Madge(even though she gets the most points for being a visionary). The only two rivals that match this comparison are MJ and Prince. Whitney is similar to MJ (where there’s a raw talent there). They both do something that puts you in a trance. It’s honestly like magic in both their primes. Prince and Mariah are the technical ones. He plays intruments, she writes songs masterfully. There’s genuis there. Whitney was praised at the superbowl and that stunning performance was a highlight in her career. When MJ did the moonwalk that was his. It’s something about their natural abilities. Prince and Mariah are the 2 that expertly (and have consistently) proven themselves to get from MJ and Whitney’s shadow! No matter how you slice it though, they’re all exceptionally gifted.
Mariah has always been better than Crackhead Houston, these clips prove it.
“Prince and Mariah are the 2 that expertly (and have consistently) proven themselves to get from MJ and Whitney’s shadow!”
I’m sorry but Mariah has far more THE VOICE moments than Houston.
Vision of Love is called as the magna Carta of melisma.The final Word.
Carey’s whistle register has spawned a legion of wannabes that flock to Idol every year just to get it right.
Carey’s phenomenal range is what critics revere,many even foolishly stating her range was 8 octaves caught up in the frenzy.(it is 5 and some notes).
Carey’s dynamics are still unmatched.You have only to watch Leona Lewis attempt Without You and IWALY to know what I mean.Leona could imitate Houston but not Carey.
Carey’s voice could reach unmentionable heights as even pointed out by none other than Patti Labelle.
Simon Cowell,a person who is obviously better at de-constructing all this than we are,declares that, “Mariah is the best singer of all time.Really.”
I’m not a delusional fan.I’m not even a lamb…I just think that to say Houston is THEE VOICE all the time is a bit juvenile,seeing clearly as how Carey is an equal if not superior.
YOU CALL THIS TALENT, OH PLEASE. SHE IS SINGING TO THE MUSIC and WALKING ACROSS THE STAGE LOOKING FAT AND HAPPY. LET”S STOP THE WHITNEY VS MARIAH PLEASE THERE IS NO COMPARISON. WHITNEY IS THE ONE AND ONLY VOICE!!!! MARIAH IS LIP SYNCING!!!
OMG she was fantaaastic, see what happens when you stop drinkin champagne and red wine! It’s not a crime but it really does hurt the vocals and now that shes with child she obviously does not drink and her vocals sound AMAZING!!!!!!
It’s so sad Whitney fans always try to bring Mariah down just because their diva completely lost her voice. Shame on you guys!
Didn’t Mariah once say “all girls who inspire to sing look up to Whitney Houston”? Yeah she said it
http://www.examiner.com/contemporary-art-in-orlando/whitney-houston-fans-fights-back-against-the-media
There is nothing special about Mariah’s voice other then the whistle note. She does not capture you throughout an entire song, you have to wait til the end of her songs, and even then, you here all the copy and pasted notes she manipulated.
And to the one that said Mariah can sing in the whistle register, that is a FLAT OUT LIE! Minnie Ripperton is the only one who ever sung words in the whistle register.
Whitney’s tone, vibrato, headnotes, power trumps Mariah’s, even til this day. You idiots failed to look @ Whitney’s performances towards the end of her tour, where her voice was no joke. When Mariah can learn the master of interpretation and stop copy and pasting her notes, over laying her vocals, and and fix her weak a$$ full voice, get back @ me, but until then, she will always remain second to the one and only Whitney Houston
@ ranjit
LMAO @u calling matthew bastards.
@ ranjit
LMAO @u calling matthew b******.
And to all the people who wants to label Whitney a crackhead, but do not admit to Mariah being a drunk s**** in public., you are blind and delusional.
Btw, I did not know women are still having babies in their golden years like Mariah wants to.
With all the alcohol she consumes, and her age I wish her baby hell, I meant well.
Truth of the matter is MOAIA, EC=FLOPS, ILTY 2.5M WW and she did not even have a lot of radio support. That speaks volumes lambs.
Maybe we can all go out and support her new X-Mas cd, Egg-nog Of A Perfect Flop, Christmas Edition
@WDIVA76
why are you trolling this topic so hard? is it really worth your time? ANYWAYS
Yes MC has sung in the whistle register, two off the top of my head are:
the end of fly like a bird grammy live “Higher Jesus”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aU3G8vTglw
the end of Hero/never too far medley live “never too far”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZJHecJt6BA
There is nothing special in Mariah Carey’s voice ? Are you joking son?
Carey’s tone is THEE most relatable tone in the history of music.Go take a survey this moment.I challenge you.
For the millions of aspiring singers or even normal girls all over America and most importantly ASIA , Mariah Carey is the Supreme Entity of singing.
The best singers of today namely : Beyonce,Leona,Christina,Jordin Sparks are ALL most inspired by Carey’s voice whether it was the inexplicable vocal highs of Vision of Love(beyonce,Christina) or the dense,transcendental vocals displayed on Anytime You need a friend(Leona) or the dynamic and lush verses of Always be My baby(Jordin) , every single person who has heard Carey’s “buttery” tone is floored by it.You don’t get that tone ANYWHERE.
Mariah is the QUEEN! Mariah is the DIVA! Mariah IS THE VOICE! Period!
and lets get chartifacts straight.
Carey’s comeback album was released barely 2 years after a flop ‘CharmBracelet’
whereas Whitney’s comeback album was released after a gap of 7 years,building up unimaginable hype.Plus,Whitney had the ‘rising from the ashes ‘ thing playing for her.
Mariah’s comeback album landed the top spot on the best selling albums of the year while Whitney managed a dire #22(or #19 ?)
Mariah’s next album sold 2.3m copies WW,not a far cry at all from whitney’s great comeback album sales which was released a year later in similar market conditions.
Record sales :
Mariah : 150m albums , 53m singles = 203m records sold WW
Whitney : 127m albums,60m singles = 187m records sold WW
Whitney has released less albums,but if she were to release albums every other year like Mariah,her average sales per album would come down drastically as is the general rule but today,she’ll barely manage 500k WW.
The effect of Oprah’s tears has long dissipated and reports of Whitney’s relapse and horrendous performances have lost her whatever credibility she had left.
She will barely sell 300-400k WW the next time,given her singles do as well(or as bad ) as they did during ILTY era.
And I have changed the tone of my posts because whitney fans refuse to accept Carey’s amazing singing skills and say,”she sounded okay”
Two can play rough.
The short of the long is : Carey is better than Houston in every aspect be it writing,producing,selling or SINGING.
Carey’s back catalogue has WAY more fans than the catalogue of Miss Houston which is full of filler.
Carey has the biggest holiday tune to her name and continues to sell 500k copies of AIWFCIY every year WW and some 150k-200k copies of the album.
Carey has sold 66m albums in USA(Houston’s sold only 55m)
Carey is the Biggest selling international artist of Asia,ahead of the Beatles !
She has sold +30m albums in Asia.Houston has sold barely 1/5th of that amount.
Carey has 18 #1 singles on the Hot100 and is the 5th biggest artist in American history,much much ahead of Houston.
Carey has scored the two biggest songs of both the decades since she debuted.
Carey’s WBT is the 9th biggest song in billboard history whereas houston’s IWALY is not even in the top20 (or even in the top30 ?)
Carey’s spent 16 weeks on top with OSD,2 weeks more than what whitney spent.
Carey has 79 cumulative weeks on top compared to some 30-35 weeks of Houston .That’s more than twice of Houston’s record and amounts to 1.5 years on the top of Billboard ! No other artist has matched this feat.
Carey has to her name,the biggest radio song in american history : WBT.
Carey,inarguably, shaped the 90s being the biggest artist of that decade.Houston has managed no such feat.
Bye Bye.
@RanJeet. All of those women you named, namaed Whitney as their inspirations as well so…….your point? Even Celine Dion said Whitney is the best. Hell even Oprah the queen of all media calls Whitney THE VOICE. You lambs are a disgrace. How can Mariah be a legend, and not Whitney, when Whitney been in the game longer?
That was real cute…try again
Ranjeet says:
“Mariah : 150m albums , 53m singles = 203m records sold WW
Whitney : 127m albums,60m singles = 187m records sold WW”
Let’s look at some real fact:
Mariah has released 18 albums,= 203WW
Whitney has released 10 albums=187WW only 6 of them were studio albums, 1 compilation, 3 soundtracks, and a Xmas albums
Being that Whitney released far less albums, has been absent on the scene for so long, while Mariah was releasing back 2 back albums # 1 singles, (a record #1 singles at that) yet she only edges Whitney by 20mill albums, and Whitney has sold more singles LMAO!….Yeah…ok
While you were trying to prove that Mariah is the biggest selling female artist, you also just proved in the same vein that Whitney has a larger demographic. of fans who purchases her albums vs Mariah’s. Thank you
Excuse me, 11 albums
LOL WDIVA76 trolling.
Why don’t you go watch Crackney choke her way through her classics on YouTube or something.
Mariah can’t do the Whistle register ? LOL OKAY.
What were those notes at the end of Emotions then ?
Sit down h**.
Whitney’s voice was just loud to me. She obv could sing but it was more Impressive than Expressive.
And don’t be mad cuz Mariah wasn’t busy snorting coke. She was too busy releasing albums, touring & doing her job that’s why she has more albums & has sold more.
@S***
Just getting started musically ?
She’s been around since the 90s.
And don’t act like those other women [Mariah, Whitney, Xtina] aren’t vocally versatile.
Bey’s big number ballads are basic.
Even Leona’s Power Ballads out-shines them.
Mariah did not tour much in her career, I wonder why that is hmmmm. Madonna, Whitney, Celine, and Janet have toured waaaay more than Mariah, so why does Mariah sound so different from the 90s?
Besides, Whitney will always be The Voice, she is the most respected vocalist of all female singers. Mariah may have the edge in the numbers, but Whitney wins the respect. Mariah’s career was built off Whitney’s formula, so Whitney is Mariah’s teacher
Whitney is also the bigger international star, the only bigger female international act then Whitney is Madonna. While Mariah may have one or two Asian countries on lock, Whitney has entire Europe over her, and Africa, North America, and even Middle East, and South America, that explains why Whitney has sold just as much with less albums
aLL the women that I named,DID cite Houston as an influence but they ALL prefer Carey much more.It reflected through Leona’s obvious copying of Carey’s style of singing or blatant declaration by Christina ,”Mummy Mummy I just found the greatest person/singer on earth” after listening to VOL.
Whitney is NOT the bigger international star.Sure,her peak was bigger than Mariah’s, but Carey emerged as the star of the decade and there was a time when crap released by Carey would rocket up the charts.If Houston was the bigger star,she would’ve gotten the WMA alongwith Michael Jackson seeing as h** WMA’s gave awards based on popularity.
Like I said,releasing more albums = less average sales per album.Same happened with Prince,Celine Dion,Barbra streisand,etc.
Not to mention,Houston benefited a LOT from having soundtracks being labelled as her solo albums when she didn’t even contribute entirely to them !
In the end, it doesn’t matter.
Carey has sold 203m records in 20 years.
Houston has sold 187m records in 25 years…That’s a FAR FAR cry from Madonna’s 300m figure who came out at the same time.
She’s LIPPING all of the good parts of it. It’s obvious. Just listen to My All, it’s almost live and sounds really poor.
Why are you even comparing Mariah’s to Whitney’s voice…?
EVERYBODY knows that Mariah’s is the BEST VOICE ON THE PLANET! The moment she came out, she just went straight to THE TOP!
Versatility, full range, sweetness and smoothness, emotions, timbre, texture, technique, whatever… She’s just INCOMPARABLE! That’s why MARIAH IS THE VOICE! And she ALWAYS WILL BE… From now on… UNTIL FOREVER… AND EVER… 🙂
Crackhead Houston is washed up and a hasbeen! she will always be remembered for being able to sing once upon a time ago but now in this day in age she is just useless and a joke.
Mariah Carey is The Voice.
Mariah’s number’s are a farce. In most cases theres a direct correlation between numbers and popularity/influence with most acts that have sustain that much success….. think Elvis, The beatles, MJ, Whitney, Madonna but Mariah doesnt seem to be in that exlusive group. We know all the trickey thats followed Mariah throughout her career… Payolla schemes and selling her music for a ridicously low price are just two of the tactics.
Whitney has influenced just about everyone. Christina have called Whitney the greatest singer in the world. Both Christina and Leona have imitated Whitney, because she is their biggest influence. Along with Brandy, Monica, Jennifer Hudson, and countless others amed Whitney as their primary influence.
