What does Celine and Whitney have to do with Mariah's artistry? If she was chasing a chart position, she would have been promoting and made more albums like Memoirs. She can't control her singles. No artist does, so it just sounds like you need to find some way to hate on Mariah. If we apply the same logic you're using, then how does Janet singing "Oh... misbehaved
And my punishment should fit my crime
Tie me to something
Take off all my clothes
Daddy I want you to take your time (I'm scared)" compare to Whitney singing "As I lay me down,
Heaven hear me now.
I'm lost without a cause
After giving it my all."??
