Chante and Mariah are both equally talented singers... With that being said Mariah does not sing live as well as she used to but Chante sounds the exact same and can still hit that whistle effortlessly. Mariah has always had better music because she wrote or co wrote all her music an she is great at arrangement... Chante has always had poor management and was never big on her own written lyrics. Now some may say Chante's music is boring but the problem is no one pays attention to lyrics anymore and if you do most ppl are soo clouded by the crap music out now that you wouldn't even understand because no one loves the way she talks about love at least with her first album. But, at the end of the day there are always better singers than your faves.
