In reply to Stephy..

No they actually can't and neither can Whitney's! Because in their prime they were both something special especially the last vocal blueprint "Whitney Houston" who influenced Mariah Carey as well! Those vocal glory days are way past Mariah, we are in 2015 not 1990-1997! Whitney's last years alive was just sad. This is the hear and now and right now there are at least 20 girls in Pop and R&B that sound better than her. Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to take anything from Mariah, no one can at this point but those vocals the last decade or more have been more miss than hit! This is coming from a fan who was riding with Mrs.Carey when she still was dressing like a teacher in the beginning!
