I can't stand ppl who are sitting here watching this trying to compare to different singers,it's really silly, mariah has her way,and whitney came from a musical background,even with her rocky performances,she still has more professional skills than any other,check the history before jugding.please
Both were good :) I love whitneys music she just kinda comes off with a crappy personality "I'm a diva flaunt flaunt stuck up to cockiness much yeah?" ... Mariah is actually really sweet i have never took the time to watch an interview she's so cute awe ^_^
@DutchHPfan1992 Diva demands or not mariah does not come off rude at all. Whitney just comes off like an over achiever who thinks she's a little better than she is .. She's sarcastic and igh, She has good music, but I personally do not like her personality.
Oprah: Okay Whitney, before you start singing, tell us about the song.
Whitney: Hmm? What..."I learned from the best??" (oh God no)
Oprah: Um...yeah. What else would I be asking you about?
Whitney: Oh ok...um...so yeah...so um listen...listen...um (shit i hate this woman), I learned from the best...um...is about someone...............who loved someone.........and learned from someone.............(give me the damn mic already)
@DutchHPfan1992 You are correct. What I should ahve said was Whitney never influenced Mariah. Mariah has said she was inspired by Whitney. However, my apologies dear.
No I'm not going to press any number on my keyboard.
No I'm not going to thumbs up your comment.
No i don't care what's wrong with 650 people
No i don't care about you 'raping' a button
No i was not sent here by someone else
Music is here to be listened and appreciated. Unfortunately there are people out there who say the same old shit over and fucking-over again. Spread this everywhere and hope that the idiots will SHUT THE FUCK UP!
lol at the commentary... this was not the best but it was still good... This is when her high register deminished but her low chest register was solid and rich just lacked lacked vibrato...... Mimi peformance was over all stronger it was melodic and soulful at points mimi low regester sounded like faith evans
She sounds out of breath and no high notes. but not bad...but not the whitney we knew and loved. I liked mariah's performance better. Whitney hit some bad notes about 2: 40 mark. I have no favoritism for either one. both had rough spots but Mariah has my vote on this show.
Sweetie since the beginning of Whitney's career, she was all voice ! mariah has had background singers since the beginning until today if you ever here from her again ! Bitch has gotten too old to keep up with those young sexy singers such as Bey etc.. Whitney killed Mimi during the Bodyguard years ! Mimi is the Dead Fucking diva that you and many other unsaved Unicorns (not Lambs) would only have found lip syched memories !! You Think Bitch !!
First she didn't even know the meaning of the song. Then she messed up on the song at 4:28 she started sing the wrong verse then stop and corrected herself very funny. She sounded really good though.
Look at where they both stand today in 2011. Whitney has had a great comeback yet she is nowhere near Mariah's popularity that does not seem to stall. Whitney might be a better live singer but Mariah is the better musician since she writes everything. Ultimately, both are my 2 favourite divas of my generation and NOBODY can touch them. NOBODY!
@originaldeftom; LOL..Mariah's songs totday are shit! She doesn't sing normal anymore, like she used to. Whitney is the better musician, she has a super voice and the brings to much emotion in her songs!
Mariah, was just a lyricist...the majority of her compositions she had more music savvy people who co-wrote with her, Whitney was better at interpreting a song, but I think each of them individual set the curve for female vocalist and still until this day are the two female artist that have had the most commercial success, although when it comes down to it, people show more respect to Whitney because she's got more soul and was the 1st commercial successful R&B vocalist.
@T1000Mr...Oh dear, Mariah is one of the greatest songwriter music could ever have. Ever heard Walter, Randy, David F talked about Mariah???...Whitney is indeed HAD a great interpreting skills, but Mariah is just a pure musical genius; hence has greater musicianship than Whitney. Tho Whitney has greater charisma. Soul-wise, it's just a matter of preference. I believe that Whitney inspired, but Mariah saves.
@Muzicx44 C'mon dudes ! ! ! They're both super talented unbeatable Divas...They cant be compared with anyone else even with each other ! ! ! They're both the Best same as Celine Dion and Barbra ...
@chikorita123...Superbly true. They are both extremely talented musicians. But I kinda disagree with Celine being on the same league with Mariah and Whitney. They may have shared with the same era, but the overall talent of Celine isn't enough to be compared with W's and M's.
i dont get it..whitney got the "i have to hug her cuz she's a guest" while mariah got the "god i gotta hug her, i just cant believe her amazing voice" hug :s...
@sameshitdifday It's funny you keep saying "Weedney", but I'm sure you didn't know Mariah smokes plenty of weed and drinks plenty of alcohol. My ex was friends with Lee Daniels and has spent time with him and Mariah. Mariah has issues from her childhood and her first marriage to Tommy Mattola, who fucked her head up. When she sang, "Purple taking me higher. I'm lifted, and I like it", she wasn't talking about Prince. And, "I'm That Chick You Like" is about weed. Let her and Whitney be.
It's so sad how people come to Whitney's video to make negative comments. These same people would be jumping up and down if they met her, saying, "OH MY GOD!!!" Mariah may not have done cocaine, but she smokes more weed than most potheads and drinks alcohol like water. But I still love her, because she's human. BTW...Whitney's off the drugs. Mariah should be next.
@sameshitdifday , Whitney didn't need Dollys song that she made a hit that dolly couldn't deliver when it came to sales. It was a slow country version that whitney said she would have never even bother hearing had kevin not introduced it to her from hearing it , she found a way to make it her own.
Whitney was already very much a superstar as named the number 1# FEMALE POP SINGER IN THE WORLD IN THE 80S with 3 multi selling albums her 1 the highest debut selling album ever with 25 million sold.
@sameshitdifday , Furthermore she did a lot of these thing when mariah was a preteen and or just coming of age since whitney is about 6 1/2 years her junior !!! She started modeling for major brand at 16 getting on the cover of 17 mag at 17 ,18 years old.. She has co written some of her music but with a voice like her who cares even mariah has mentioned that no one really cares who writes. Whitney broke all records and is one of mariahs like many other inspirations etc...
@sameshitdifday , Im a fan of both of these women even though Whitney is my fav lol.. But you are wrong and misinformed whitney never stole anything from dolly she remade it with her blessing from Whitneys number 1# hit movie the body guard that was given to her by her then co star Kevin Costner.
Whitney has been a fasion model ,actress, and she has produced many films like the princess diaries 1 and 2 and her number one broadcast movie cinderella with brandy as the black princess etc...
@Antwanstarborn23 , Not being obsessive but you called her a crack head when she never did crack. Whitney is human that made a mistakes !! thats her past so lets rebuke that she like you and i are human.
When it comes to there voices neither one sounds the same ! but at least they can still sing. In her mistake she did pure cocaine laced in weed as she told Oprah, not crack as it is cheep she said in a interview with Diane Sawyer that it is wack she has to much money for that.
Haha! 00:12 Whitney can't even explain her own song! Well maybe cause she didn't write it! Whitney reminds me of the conceited, diva, musicians that I used to go with in music school! I guess karma got her back now hahah!
@AAS248441...You call Mariah a student???...when Mariah existed, she set a high standard of great musicality and technicality of singing...What kind of teacher Whitney was if Mariah, a student, surpassed Whitney on her first debut...FYI, base on Mariah's writing skills, she has greater musicality over Whitney.
@Muzicx44 , Mariahs debut didn't surpass whitneys hers was the highest selling album in music history by a female artist in 1985 with 25 million sold !! whitney also has not put out as manay albums . Mariah only sold 15 million which is huge also and yeah i love both!! Mariah can write but whitney also has many many things under her belt plus she is the voice that many including mariah was inspired by.
@Antwanstarborn23 : What many many things you're talking about under her belt? MC has produced, wrote, co-wrote most of the suff that has made her one the greatest artists in the world and probably the greatest in the modern era. WH is a great singer no doubts about that, but she is only known for her vocal prowess.I doubt MC was inspired by WH the difference between their debut albums is 5 years and in age 6. MC grew up listening to others singers but no WH.
@paulinolondon , Well first off Whitney houston was a fashion model appearing on the cover of top mags like 17 mag before mariah was even a pre- teen since whitney is about 61/2 years older. Whitney isn't just a great singer she has also produced top movies like her number one Tv broadcast film cinderella ,the princess diaries 1 and 2 etc.. where is that credit in your criticism ? Whitneys was dubbed the voice because she set the standard for female singers no one even went against that. etc..
@paulinolondon , I am a huge fan of Mariah she is talented but did you know that she was refused a record deal once because se was told she sounded to much like whitney ? Excuse me but how could she not have heard whitney growing up when whitney was the number 1# pop star of the 80s with the number one debut album of all time by any female or male ever 25 million sold again rebuking your claim that she surpassed her which she didn't mariah sold 15 million.
@Antwanstarborn23 : Simon Cowel the a mogul in the music industry said: MC is the greatest artist in the world. She writes most of her stuff and she doesn't get the credit for it. Randy Jackson said: MC is above all the others because she touched everything that she has done in her career. Westlife said: MC she makes music in front of you.Did you know that hero she wrote it herself and did the melody as well? Consider the whole package and u cant deny MC is above WH as an artist.
@paulinolondon , So that his opinion can he sing? and he truly does say that about every mainstream artist that i have seem him talk about in some enlightened way.
Mariah is a great artist i do love her voice and music but she isn't a better artist than Whitney Houston whos voice set the standard for vocal perfection its well know that Whitney is great at her craft you haven't read all of her credits im sure !! and Mariah doesn't make music she writes lyric even that she has co writers.
@Antwanstarborn23: As I said before MC is an artist greater than WH if you agree with it or not.People in the music industry agree on that, but you are entitled to your opinion,even if it sounds daft.You need to understand the business you dont need to sing to make comments about other singer's talents.Only stupid people dont care if a person wrote or not a song.They guys from Take That said that so go and challenge them. Maybe you've achieved more than they have.
@paulinolondon , Well thats your opinion you can never be better than the person who you model yourself after you respect them and give them props and thats what mariah did for whitney although they are both great talents part of mariahs musical exploration involved whitney like it or not.
And can you name all these people who agree with that ? whitney has the same people saying just that about her.
If you can't sing then you sound inane talking about another person etc..
@Antwanstarborn23 : MC has recognized WH because of respect and also WH did the same to MC.Only you sees that, maybe because you want to see that. MC never mentioned WH as her main influence. I mentioned other singers in reply to what you said about WH inspiring singers before her.MC has inspired these new singers. So it is a tie there.
@paulinolondon , Whitney H. has never said she listened to mariah growing up because she was out 7 years before she even started yes mariah liked other singers, yet mariah has not only said she listened to whitney but was compared !.You just couldn't have been alive in the 80s without knowing who that women was she was simply the biggest pop star alive in the 80s.
Sure mariah inspired the singers of today but whitney surely has to this isn't a contest whitney is the better singer.
@Antwanstarborn23: I never said that MC said it anyway so get you facts right.Her influences stated by her are Billie Holiday, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Glady's Knight and Sarah Vaughan. Not WH. You are an ignorant. She was compared yes. AS I said they both had the same influence WH says that her influences were Arethat Franklin and Gladys Knight. So I have showed to you why they were compared similar influences.
@paulinolondon , No you are ignorant maybe you should look up some videos of mariah because although she has different influences whitney was on of them why are you hating on whitney anyway get a life they aren't in competition.
She was compared to whitney because when she first came out people said she sounds to much like her and yes they did like the same type music but thats beside point.
@paulinolondon , I understand the bizz thank you simon is entitled to his opinion but thats his and his only he doesn't set the stage for that !! Only stupid people don't care ? songs are meant to be sang it a way of storyline if you can do that then you have done your job!!! Yes writing is good but at the end of the day delivering the song is most important.
I don't have to challenge anyone on there opinion.
@Antwanstarborn23:No you dont understand the bizz mate. I rather take Simon's opinions who is a successful person who has launched loads of artists and is respected in the industry then to take yours. I imagine what would have happened to WH if none of the songs were written for her. Madonna is an example she is a not a good singer and look how much success she has made that's because of her ability to do very good songs in her genre.Wake up mate you out of touch!!
@paulinolondon , Simon says that about everyone lol... your the one obsessing about a women that doesn't know who you are not me im stating my opinion you yours and and simon his... AND? who cares who writes there songs ? Whitneys stage presence and ability to make the songs her own and her voice is what makes her a genius and what makes you think she hasn't written not one of her songs?
@Antwanstarborn23: Simon is just an example.The only clingy here is you who defends WH without knowledge of her career. You can state your opinion that doesnt mean people will give any value to it,because you've done nothing for the music industry mate so why people should listen to your lack of knowledge and give credit to it? Again you show you know nothing you just rattle. A lot of young wanna be singers have to learn how to write songs.Why do you think they spend a lot of money on it?
@paulinolondon , I have stated very knowledgeable things about whitneys career from her being a fashion model to iconic singer , actor and producer and you say i don't have knowledge about her ? The only thing you keep coming up with about mariah carey is her lyric writing which she hasn't done all by herself might i add !! You have also made yourself look stupid and as a person who can't comprehend the truth.
You don't know me so you don't know what i have done MATE!! stop hating on whitney.
@Antwanstarborn23: Let's get over it. Because you clearly big headed. I dont hate WH. I stated several things about MC I actually research the things. You keep saying WH was an influence when the MC says herself she wasn't. And it is obvious because of the little age difference between the two. But the penny doesn't drop does it? WH is a great singer there will not be another WH, however she is just a great singer. MC it is not only that she is goes beyond it.Therefore a better "ARTIST"
@paulinolondon , Your the one who is big headed making this a contest not me !! your obsessed with Mariah Carey and you have tried to down play Whitney Houston.
You have stated truth ? well so have i , I bet you 100 dollars you haven't done nearly as much research on Whitney !! Up here looking like a fool being ignorant.
But mariah has said that she had not on this video but she has said that whitney has im telling you.
@Antwanstarborn23: Everything I mentioned about MC was in her singing career. Only and just in this field where she shines. You keep seeing about modelling and acting where WH has done very little it might big for you who is blind. Madonna was the biggest popstar in the 80's. Google it about both women WH and Madonna. they all agree that Madonna was a fashion icon, girls followed her style and etc.WH only worked as a model and posed for seventeen
@Antwanstarborn23: Everything I mentioned about MC was in her singing career. Only and just in this field where she shines.

@paulinolondon , Mariah carey sings lol.. so does whitney the only thing mariah has over whitney is her lyric writing so AND? that doesn't make her better than her lol.. I love mariahs voice but its much more light and high Whitneys voice is perfect its strong the texture is perfection.
The thing is Whitney shines in more area s than just singing !! You can sit up here and downplay Whitneys accomplishments with you ignorants self but i doubt you know how many photo shoots she did or movies etc.
@paulinolondon , What other things has any of these women done ? she didn't stay in one thing.
But i can tell you this she made it better for naomi as a black women braking down walls for her to enter she sure did.
How dare you? each one of those women are know for one field but that that does't mean anything Whitney is diverse and very well known as a actress what are you stupid ? Why question intelligence with the truth ? you are the slow one not me.
@Antwanstarborn23: I know now you're obsessed with Wh. LOL. You have channel...Sorry mate. I didnt know she was your idol..Pity she is gone now.....her comeback, was not what you would call a comeback. dont you think. But now she needs people like you. Good luck!
@paulinolondon , What you know is that your obsessed with Mariah Carey because im not with anyone.
I can respect that you like Mariah but trying to degrade Whitney isn't acceptable !! And i have what ? CHANNEL ? or her on it ? guess what mariah is on it also?
She is a big part of my inspiration because she is the best and whenever you learn you learn from best that she is and will always be.
How is she gone when she is still pretty much alive you ignorant fool? etc...
@paulinolondon , She said in her 3x plat album don't call it a comeback she was out and about even before the album came out you twit from 2007 -2009 she was already out winning award and getting on stage in different countries.
She doesn't need anyone but herself and god who will and can heal all and she doesn't need hatters like you.
@paulinolondon , Movies she has been in or produced for her not to be successful or done very little in what hasmaruah dine GLITTER ? IT WAS A FLOP LOL.. i like mariah but its the truth precious was good though.
@paulinolondon , Whitney posed for more famous mags than just 17 and she will tell you how much money she was making lol.. in the 80s whitney was the world biggest pop star not madonna !! If whitney hadn't been discovered in a singing bar singing she would have been a supermodel that was't her plan though.
@paulinolondon , And what other thing does Whitnety Houston have to do for you to see that she is more than just a great singer ? I told you the woman was a fashion model are you dumb? I said she was a actress she has a emmy? the women has produced box office gold movies like The princess diaries 1 and 2 and her own tv movie hit cinderella with brandy as that black princess what else do you need?
Im pretty sure she has written some of here own music too let it go.
@Antwanstarborn23: I think you are mental! Iam not talking about acting career.This is about singing career what one has done in the music industry. You are crazy! Not talking about fashion career. She might have done well in this being a singer, however she cannot be compared with this famous people in the acting or fashion career moron.
@paulinolondon , I think you are mental you said career and even in singing she has broken all records and done it all what is you point ? You don't think Whitney Houston has conquered the music bizz ? are you stupid this women is a icon? .
The only thing you keep bringing up is lyric writing get over it.
She has done better than well you might need to study her on the level of Mariah you are looking really stupid right now. Etc..
@Antwanstarborn23: singing career you are slow. Never said anything what you are saiyng. You are debil twisting my words. WH has her place in the music industry idiot. I never said she did not have. You are the one bringing up acting career and fashion career as if she has a big name in fashion or acting. Drop that mate and move on. Stick with singing where you can back her up.
@paulinolondon , Whitney has starred in more than 4 box office gold movies including the bodygaurd with one of the worlds highest selling soundtracks ever 44 million sold ! And she can't be compared to actors of today? She was one of the first black models even on mags like 17 and she was just a kid herself in the 80s ! She broke the color wall on MTV with Micheal Jackson by her side and she can't be compared?
Face it your jealous you are ignorant and you just don''t like Whitney its all good.
@Antwanstarborn23. Again acting career? Dear Lord! Again mag 17? I proved to you she's not a big name in these areas. She has got her own records so has MC, Madonna, Barbara Streisand and any great singer or artist. Sticking with the music she is not as great as MC. Dont hate her, but she is not the biggest or the greatest. But for a fish like you she clearly is the only one. Well go on with your obsession.
@paulinolondon , Whitney houston is known for being a singer over others but she is well known as a actress you are wrong lol,.,. now modeling not as much even though she even broke records there.
I don't have to stick to anything i can say whatever i want.
@Antwanstarborn23: I have the honesty to admit that MC has not achieved everything and other artists have surpassed her in other things. But she's for sure there in the music history as a great one. Already considered a legend and artist of the millenium, before you discredit this MJ also won that award. So I rest my case. YOu are a loser!!! WH singing career as dead whereas MC is still going on. RIP. LOL
@paulinolondon , You should never say what someone is or that there dead lol.. Whitney is still alive and she can still sing although she isn't her best who says she can't be healed and mariahs voice aint what it use to be either so your rebuked my friend.
Whitney is a icon to so? Your the loser im not about to argue with a person over played with a women that doesn't even know your name sad how did i find the time? Whitney is the most awarded artist of all time look that up lol...
@Antwanstarborn23: Compare both performances of MC and WH on Uk X-factor. You will see that MC singers better thatn WH and her XMas concert in Washington where critics say she is still a great singer. Whereas WH was booed in Australia, people left upset because she could not sing. Her x-factor performance she looked crazy and lost. YOu cant admit WH is not what you would like her to be. That is all right dude.
@paulinolondon , Thats not fair you nitwit we all know Whitneys voice isn't like it use to be nether is Mariahs we all know that Whitneys voice is a lot fuller and more powerful that Mariahs drop that.
Like i saiod before you can say all you want to say abaout her but she is the voice thats her title.
@paulinolondon , Yeah but her tour was a success right at least she gave the crowd what they should have came for a true artist never lip sings and she could have done that still her album went 3x plat lol..
@Antwanstarborn23: You have not. What fashion model has to do with singing? I would look up to Gisele not to WH if I was talking about fashion. You are out of touch! MC is a great singer, co write and wrote some of her songs, is a record producer. She does all her back vocals and etc. You said WH was the biggest popstar in the 80 when in fact was Madonna. Im telling you stop talking rubbish and study a bit. Please if you have little knowledge dont come here to argue. Leave me Alone
@paulinolondon , @paulinolondon , It has a lot for one emotion acting , singing, modeling are very similar and you said career lol... Look up Gisele Whitney was still a fashion model first like it or not you are the one out of touch be more specific.
No sir or ma'am whitney houston was named the biggest popstar of the 80s not madonna it was whitney that had the highest debut ever not madonna get you facts straight.
@Antwanstarborn23: Madonna by the end of the 80's sold 80 million copies and WH had sold 44 million copies around the world. You cant think just because her debut album sold 25 mi copies she was the best in the 80's. Madonna also sold basically the same amount with nearly 25 mi copies with the album True Blue in 86. In that decade Madonna was greates female pop star of the world. And now leave me alone.
@paulinolondon , Madonna was never compared to whitney houston in a manner of singer because she could never compete !! No matter how much you try to bash her !! Whitney hasn't put out as many albums as Mariah or madonna lol.. and she is still well on there level of sales.
She was ordained the number 1# pop star in the 80s besides her debut being the most sold in history at that time that isn't where i came in saying she was the number 1# pop star although she was etc..
@Antwanstarborn23. Madonna in artistry also wrote her songs and produced and directed as MC, but not WH. She has beaten WH in sales, in hits, in success across the globe. True blue was not her debut album mate. AGAIN: BY THE 80'S MADONNA SOLD 88 MI WH SOLD 44. MADONNA WAS THE FASHION ICON OF THE 80'S RESEARCH AND YOU WILL SEE. DO THAT FAVOUR TO BOTH OF US
@paulinolondon , You don't know that lol.. I can tell you how dumb and ignorant you are i know she has but i won't tell your stupid self because im going to let you see how dumb you are when you actually find info.
She has produced god knows how many of her music including her remake of i will always love you shut up.
Madonnas debut was madonna lol.. it sold 10 million only and again whitney doesn't have as many albums out can't you calculate that?
@paulinolondon , Can you please look up the most popular and number 1# pop star in the 80s its Whitney not madonna lol.. madonna sold 68 million near the 80s end and whitneys voice is miles away better than madonnas.
@Antwanstarborn23 : not talking about voice. check any website, check RIAA and you will see that WH comes 5th behinhd CEline, Mariah, Madonna and Barbara. LOSER!
@paulinolondon , Whitney by american shipments is 4th and im not whitney houston you moron these are her sales not mine just as Mariah are hers how am i a loser you tit bag? How many albums have you sold?
@paulinolondon , Madonnas debut was 10 million not 25 so that doesn't matter she couldn't take that title stop being sour and move on.. AND YOU LEAVE ME ALONE WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?
@Antwanstarborn23: WHERE ARE YOU FROM? THIS PLANET? YOUR INTELLIGENCE IS VERY SMALL INDEEED! Drop the acting career, drop the fashion I said. She would be humiliated in that department by big names. Well Madonna is number one behind B.Streisand with 315 mi and Mariah with 232 mi Wh comes in fifth place mate. So shut up. Well that is because of her drugs. That is her problem if she couldnt do better. MC twice best voice. by MTV and a Music magazine.
@paulinolondon , Your the one with small intelligence lol.. Whitney would be on the same level in acting she is among the big names do you know who she has worked with ? modeling was just something for her to do in school time but don';t you dare try to down play that womens achievements that are very impressive.
Whitney is 4th and she hasn't put out as many albums what are you stupid this aint a cointest the best is the best. You shut up.
@paulinolondon , Her drug issue was a human issue lol./., she is no longer on drugs so stop that bs all of those artist had there issues and Whitney houstons voice clearly is better let it go.
@paulinolondon , Whitney is very talented alos and she isn't just known for her voice im pretty sure she has co-written and or written some of her music have you actually checked all of her credits before you wrote that comment ? mariah is a very talented poet but even she has said no one cares lol.. As to who writes her music its all how you deliver it.
@Antwanstarborn23 :I am talking about music for starters not other types of jobs she did in her career. Let's pick her Bodyguard CD: Queen of night is a version. I will always love you a version, Have nothing written by sb else, Run to you by Jud Friedman and Jesus Loves me written by Anna warner. A cd like that and she did contribute to one song.What do you say about that?
@paulinolondon , Well you didn't say just music when Whitney is more than just a singer !! You asked what else did she have under her belt and i let you have a taste of it. Whitney has done more for music than you are given this women credit for one with her and Micheal Jackson braking the MTV color wall in the mid 80s she led the way for black women and men to be played on that network not enough musical history ? Mariah at that time was around 15. etc..
@paulinolondon , Again who cares who writes the lyric ? anytime she remade songs it sounded nothing like the original anyway lol.. and she always sold it much better than the original way better actually im pretty sure she has produced some of her music as she has done movies you haven't looked all her credits up im sure.
So what do i think about that i don't care obviously you know nothing about the music industry writing is good but not a requirement her voice alone was enough.
@Antwanstarborn23 : Well, MC has also set the standard for the new singers that are now making a success such as Rihanna and Xtina Aguilera, Leona. So stop with the rattle and forget whatever you say MC has done and has achieved and is still a relevant artist who is selling, writing and doing her work as WH's careers is dead. Get over it!!
@paulinolondon , All of those singers credit Whitney Houston as there inspiration " ESPECIALLY " CHRISTINA WHO LEARNED RIFTS AND RUNS FROM WATCHING WHITNEY HOUSTONS I RUN TO YOU VIDEO.
I like mariah carey and you are very misinformed whitney first of all has done it in the music bizz she has done it all . I really don't know how many records you have sold but but 170 million + and downloads sounds impressive to me ! & she has only put out 10 albums to mariahs 13.
@Antwanstarborn23: Well maybe you dont care because you are shallow and whatever rubbish they give you to listen to you like. But Mariah has been awarded for her writing skills as a songwriter and that's because people dont care so decided to give awards just to waste time on TV, isn't it? Yes, yes only you hear that WH is known for writing skills you are la la land mate. It is not a requirement but when an ARTIST does his own stuff and makes a lot of success it puts them above the rest.
@paulinolondon , Well whitney has for her producing of films and ? Its good that mariah writes but even she will tell you that people don't care.. and she hasn't done it all herself anyways she has had co writters for most of her music.
Whitney houston has earned all of her awards also stop hating and just enjoy both singers let it go.
@Antwanstarborn23: I enjoy both singers absolutely do. Well she has been awarded several times for her writing skills. And never heard saying that she does not care about her writing. That would be like shooting oneself in the foot. We have different preferences, but the fact is MC is a greater artist is a fact, proved and written in the history of music she is a legend. Enjoy! There will not be another MC.
@Antwanstarborn23: She has done something now on her last cd, however she hasn't made any success. She was never known for that. Lets drop that. Their age difference is only six years. They probably listened to same singers when they were young. Therefore developing a similar tone of voice. Listen to the Melisma of MC or the Whistle where do you find these in WH voice????Well, about he company probably regreting the decision till today.
@Kumtekmeon - I agree that she has no clue what this song was about. But I dont think Whitney wrote any of her songs. Well at least she blew them out of the water.
@toochie28...Sorry but it didn't happen that Whitney murder Mariah or vice versa...Indeed, it was Whitney murdered herself with her cracks...Mariah was technically consistent with her song during that time.
i m a huge fan of mariah carey!!! really . still i think whitney has more power and emotions in her voice. I love mariah cos she's writes and compose beautiful songs. sh's truly a musician : she uses her voice like a gifted musician. i don't talk about high notes she hit. Listening to her song is an endless pleasure. she really gives her all in her songs.People who love "can't take that away", can't let go and till the end of time" know what i'm talking about.
Mariah sounded sooooooo much better that day! Just compare this w I still believe... and when they sang When you believe Mariah was so much high and powerful than Whitney.

@CyprusHot what the fuck are you talking about? she had no back up singer, so they used the CD version for the chorus. what's your point? so you are expecting her to sing the chorus and addlib at the same time? are you on something?
@CyprusHot this fucking has nothing to do with being the best. but you are talking utter shit. you are blaming her for not singing the chorus, like she could sing 2 parts at the same time. WTF?
I can't stand ppl who are sitting here watching this trying to compare to different singers,it's really silly, mariah has her way,and whitney came from a musical background,even with her rocky performances,she still has more professional skills than any other,check the history before jugding.please

Mariah, was just a lyricist...the majority of her compositions she had more music savvy people who co-wrote with her, Whitney was better at interpreting a song, but I think each of them individual set the curve for female vocalist and still until this day are the two female artist that have had the most commercial success, although when it comes down to it, people show more respect to Whitney because she's got more soul and was the 1st commercial successful R&B vocalist.

Tho Whitney has greater charisma. Soul-wise, it's just a matter of preference. I believe that Whitney inspired, but Mariah saves.

@sameshitdifday It's funny you keep saying "Weedney", but I'm sure you didn't know Mariah smokes plenty of weed and drinks plenty of alcohol. My ex was friends with Lee Daniels and has spent time with him and Mariah. Mariah has issues from her childhood and her first marriage to Tommy Mattola, who fucked her head up. When she sang, "Purple taking me higher. I'm lifted, and I like it", she wasn't talking about Prince. And, "I'm That Chick You Like" is about weed. Let her and Whitney be.

It's so sad how people come to Whitney's video to make negative comments. These same people would be jumping up and down if they met her, saying, "OH MY GOD!!!"

@sameshitdifday , Whitney didn't need Dollys song that she made a hit that dolly couldn't deliver when it came to sales. It was a slow country version that whitney said she would have never even bother hearing had kevin not introduced it to her from hearing it , she found a way to make it her own.
Whitney was already very much a superstar as named the number 1# FEMALE POP SINGER IN THE WORLD IN THE 80S with 3 multi selling albums her 1 the highest debut selling album ever with 25 million sold.

She has co written some of her music but with a voice like her who cares even mariah has mentioned that no one really cares who writes.

@paulinolondon , Movies she has been in or produced for her not to be successful or done very little in what hasmaruah dine GLITTER ? IT WAS A FLOP LOL.. i like mariah but its the truth precious was good though.
Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@paulinolondon , Whitney posed for more famous mags than just 17 and she will tell you how much money she was making lol.. in the 80s whitney was the world biggest pop star not madonna !! If whitney hadn't been discovered in a singing bar singing she would have been a supermodel that was't her plan though.
Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@paulinolondon , And what other thing does Whitnety Houston have to do for you to see that she is more than just a great singer ? I told you the woman was a fashion model are you dumb? I said she was a actress she has a emmy? the women has produced box office gold movies like The princess diaries 1 and 2 and her own tv movie hit cinderella with brandy as that black princess what else do you need?
Im pretty sure she has written some of here own music too let it go.
Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@Antwanstarborn23: I think you are mental! Iam not talking about acting career.This is about singing career what one has done in the music industry. You are crazy! Not talking about fashion career. She might have done well in this being a singer, however she cannot be compared with this famous people in the acting or fashion career moron.
paulinolondon 11 months ago
@paulinolondon , I think you are mental you said career and even in singing she has broken all records and done it all what is you point ? You don't think Whitney Houston has conquered the music bizz ? are you stupid this women is a icon? .
The only thing you keep bringing up is lyric writing get over it.
She has done better than well you might need to study her on the level of Mariah you are looking really stupid right now. Etc..
Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@Antwanstarborn23: singing career you are slow. Never said anything what you are saiyng. You are debil twisting my words. WH has her place in the music industry idiot. I never said she did not have. You are the one bringing up acting career and fashion career as if she has a big name in fashion or acting. Drop that mate and move on. Stick with singing where you can back her up.
paulinolondon 11 months ago
@paulinolondon , Whitney has starred in more than 4 box office gold movies including the bodygaurd with one of the worlds highest selling soundtracks ever 44 million sold ! And she can't be compared to actors of today? She was one of the first black models even on mags like 17 and she was just a kid herself in the 80s ! She broke the color wall on MTV with Micheal Jackson by her side and she can't be compared?
Face it your jealous you are ignorant and you just don''t like Whitney its all good.
Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@Antwanstarborn23. Again acting career? Dear Lord! Again mag 17? I proved to you she's not a big name in these areas. She has got her own records so has MC, Madonna, Barbara Streisand and any great singer or artist. Sticking with the music she is not as great as MC. Dont hate her, but she is not the biggest or the greatest. But for a fish like you she clearly is the only one. Well go on with your obsession.
paulinolondon 11 months ago
@paulinolondon , Whitney houston is known for being a singer over others but she is well known as a actress you are wrong lol,.,. now modeling not as much even though she even broke records there.
I don't have to stick to anything i can say whatever i want.
Whitney houston is the better singer let it go.
Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@Antwanstarborn23: I have the honesty to admit that MC has not achieved everything and other artists have surpassed her in other things. But she's for sure there in the music history as a great one. Already considered a legend and artist of the millenium, before you discredit this MJ also won that award. So I rest my case. YOu are a loser!!! WH singing career as dead whereas MC is still going on. RIP. LOL
paulinolondon 11 months ago
@paulinolondon , You should never say what someone is or that there dead lol.. Whitney is still alive and she can still sing although she isn't her best who says she can't be healed and mariahs voice aint what it use to be either so your rebuked my friend.
Whitney is a icon to so? Your the loser im not about to argue with a person over played with a women that doesn't even know your name sad how did i find the time? Whitney is the most awarded artist of all time look that up lol...
Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@Antwanstarborn23: Compare both performances of MC and WH on Uk X-factor. You will see that MC singers better thatn WH and her XMas concert in Washington where critics say she is still a great singer. Whereas WH was booed in Australia, people left upset because she could not sing. Her x-factor performance she looked crazy and lost. YOu cant admit WH is not what you would like her to be. That is all right dude.
paulinolondon 11 months ago
@paulinolondon , Thats not fair you nitwit we all know Whitneys voice isn't like it use to be nether is Mariahs we all know that Whitneys voice is a lot fuller and more powerful that Mariahs drop that.
Like i saiod before you can say all you want to say abaout her but she is the voice thats her title.
Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@paulinolondon , Yeah but her tour was a success right at least she gave the crowd what they should have came for a true artist never lip sings and she could have done that still her album went 3x plat lol..
Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@Antwanstarborn23: You have not. What fashion model has to do with singing? I would look up to Gisele not to WH if I was talking about fashion. You are out of touch! MC is a great singer, co write and wrote some of her songs, is a record producer. She does all her back vocals and etc. You said WH was the biggest popstar in the 80 when in fact was Madonna. Im telling you stop talking rubbish and study a bit. Please if you have little knowledge dont come here to argue. Leave me Alone

@paulinolondon , @paulinolondon , It has a lot for one emotion acting , singing, modeling are very similar and you said career lol... Look up Gisele Whitney was still a fashion model first like it or not you are the one out of touch be more specific.
No sir or ma'am whitney houston was named the biggest popstar of the 80s not madonna it was whitney that had the highest debut ever not madonna get you facts straight.
Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@Antwanstarborn23: Madonna by the end of the 80's sold 80 million copies and WH had sold 44 million copies around the world. You cant think just because her debut album sold 25 mi copies she was the best in the 80's. Madonna also sold basically the same amount with nearly 25 mi copies with the album True Blue in 86. In that decade Madonna was greates female pop star of the world. And now leave me alone.
paulinolondon 11 months ago
@paulinolondon , Madonna was never compared to whitney houston in a manner of singer because she could never compete !! No matter how much you try to bash her !! Whitney hasn't put out as many albums as Mariah or madonna lol.. and she is still well on there level of sales.
She was ordained the number 1# pop star in the 80s besides her debut being the most sold in history at that time that isn't where i came in saying she was the number 1# pop star although she was etc..
Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@Antwanstarborn23. Madonna in artistry also wrote her songs and produced and directed as MC, but not WH. She has beaten WH in sales, in hits, in success across the globe. True blue was not her debut album mate. AGAIN: BY THE 80'S MADONNA SOLD 88 MI WH SOLD 44. MADONNA WAS THE FASHION ICON OF THE 80'S RESEARCH AND YOU WILL SEE. DO THAT FAVOUR TO BOTH OF US

@paulinolondon , You don't know that lol.. I can tell you how dumb and ignorant you are i know she has but i won't tell your stupid self because im going to let you see how dumb you are when you actually find info.
She has produced god knows how many of her music including her remake of i will always love you shut up.
Madonnas debut was madonna lol.. it sold 10 million only and again whitney doesn't have as many albums out can't you calculate that?
Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@paulinolondon , Can you please look up the most popular and number 1# pop star in the 80s its Whitney not madonna lol.. madonna sold 68 million near the 80s end and whitneys voice is miles away better than madonnas.

Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@Antwanstarborn23: WHERE ARE YOU FROM? THIS PLANET? YOUR INTELLIGENCE IS VERY SMALL INDEEED! Drop the acting career, drop the fashion I said. She would be humiliated in that department by big names. Well Madonna is number one behind B.Streisand with 315 mi and Mariah with 232 mi Wh comes in fifth place mate. So shut up. Well that is because of her drugs. That is her problem if she couldnt do better. MC twice best voice. by MTV and a Music magazine.
paulinolondon 11 months ago
@paulinolondon , Your the one with small intelligence lol.. Whitney would be on the same level in acting she is among the big names do you know who she has worked with ? modeling was just something for her to do in school time but don';t you dare try to down play that womens achievements that are very impressive.
Whitney is 4th and she hasn't put out as many albums what are you stupid this aint a cointest the best is the best. You shut up.
Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@paulinolondon , Her drug issue was a human issue lol./., she is no longer on drugs so stop that bs all of those artist had there issues and Whitney houstons voice clearly is better let it go.
Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@paulinolondon , Whitney is very talented alos and she isn't just known for her voice im pretty sure she has co-written and or written some of her music have you actually checked all of her credits before you wrote that comment ? mariah is a very talented poet but even she has said no one cares lol.. As to who writes her music its all how you deliver it.
Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@Antwanstarborn23 :I am talking about music for starters not other types of jobs she did in her career. Let's pick her Bodyguard CD: Queen of night is a version. I will always love you a version, Have nothing written by sb else, Run to you by Jud Friedman and Jesus Loves me written by Anna warner. A cd like that and she did contribute to one song.What do you say about that?
paulinolondon 11 months ago
@paulinolondon , Well you didn't say just music when Whitney is more than just a singer !! You asked what else did she have under her belt and i let you have a taste of it. Whitney has done more for music than you are given this women credit for one with her and Micheal Jackson braking the MTV color wall in the mid 80s she led the way for black women and men to be played on that network not enough musical history ? Mariah at that time was around 15. etc..
Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@paulinolondon , Again who cares who writes the lyric ? anytime she remade songs it sounded nothing like the original anyway lol.. and she always sold it much better than the original way better actually im pretty sure she has produced some of her music as she has done movies you haven't looked all her credits up im sure.
So what do i think about that i don't care obviously you know nothing about the music industry writing is good but not a requirement her voice alone was enough.
Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@Antwanstarborn23 : Well, MC has also set the standard for the new singers that are now making a success such as Rihanna and Xtina Aguilera, Leona. So stop with the rattle and forget whatever you say MC has done and has achieved and is still a relevant artist who is selling, writing and doing her work as WH's careers is dead. Get over it!!
paulinolondon 11 months ago
@paulinolondon , All of those singers credit Whitney Houston as there inspiration " ESPECIALLY " CHRISTINA WHO LEARNED RIFTS AND RUNS FROM WATCHING WHITNEY HOUSTONS I RUN TO YOU VIDEO.
I like mariah carey and you are very misinformed whitney first of all has done it in the music bizz she has done it all . I really don't know how many records you have sold but but 170 million + and downloads sounds impressive to me ! & she has only put out 10 albums to mariahs 13.
She is still alive not dead.
Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@Antwanstarborn23: Well maybe you dont care because you are shallow and whatever rubbish they give you to listen to you like. But Mariah has been awarded for her writing skills as a songwriter and that's because people dont care so decided to give awards just to waste time on TV, isn't it? Yes, yes only you hear that WH is known for writing skills you are la la land mate. It is not a requirement but when an ARTIST does his own stuff and makes a lot of success it puts them above the rest.
paulinolondon 11 months ago
@paulinolondon , Well whitney has for her producing of films and ? Its good that mariah writes but even she will tell you that people don't care.. and she hasn't done it all herself anyways she has had co writters for most of her music.
Whitney houston has earned all of her awards also stop hating and just enjoy both singers let it go.
Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@Antwanstarborn23: I enjoy both singers absolutely do. Well she has been awarded several times for her writing skills. And never heard saying that she does not care about her writing. That would be like shooting oneself in the foot. We have different preferences, but the fact is MC is a greater artist is a fact, proved and written in the history of music she is a legend. Enjoy! There will not be another MC.
paulinolondon 11 months ago
@paulinolondon , I didn't say that she didn't care she has on the other hand say that people i general don't .
And thats your opinion lol... there will never be another whitney houston.
Antwanstarborn23 11 months ago
@Antwanstarborn23: She has done something now on her last cd, however she hasn't made any success. She was never known for that. Lets drop that. Their age difference is only six years. They probably listened to same singers when they were young. Therefore developing a similar tone of voice. Listen to the Melisma of MC or the Whistle where do you find these in WH voice????Well, about he company probably regreting the decision till today.

i m a huge fan of mariah carey!!! really . still i think whitney has more power and emotions in her voice. I love mariah cos she's writes and compose beautiful songs. sh's truly a musician : she uses her voice like a gifted musician. i don't talk about high notes she hit. Listening to her song is an endless pleasure. she really gives her all in her songs.People who love "can't take that away", can't let go and till the end of time" know what i'm talking about.
