Slayriah, why not try to shut up sometimes? You consumed all the space in this post. If your favorite has nothing to prove and all that, you should keep quiet. I admit that Mariah is also an inspiration of Christina, and many of the singer on her generation. But, most of the new singer nowadays says Christina is also an inspiration, Jordin, Adam, Candice, Christina Grimme, Miley, Ashley, Lady Gaga, etc. even Beyonce said that she wants to emulate Xtina, because she is doing her own thing, she is unique(Search it on Youtube). It is called a CYCLE, up and coming singers will be inspired by Singers that they were able to listen during their growing up years. I'am not a fan of Mariah and I know she made her mark already, just like Christina already made her mark. But I agree, that she(Mariah) was once a great vocalist and nobody can take that away from her. I'm starting to think you are not a Mariah fan, Slayriah, instead you are a troll trying to start stan war.
