Mariah Carey vs. Christina Aguilera - The Ultimate Comparison: Episode 1 - Belting

[QUEHST]

there's something about xtinas voice thats so...pretentious. versus mariahs seems more emotional and honest. 

[stardusth2o]

@TheXwatts Xtina's is I Turn To You at the Disney Jam (I think that's what it's called) and Mariah's is Signed, Sealed, Delivered at Obamas inauguration party:)

[TheXwatts]

hey, ermm whats the xtina performance at 2:07 and what is the mariah performance at 3:28?

[AJB3]

Prime Mariah's belts were better. I don't think there's been any noticable decline in Christina's voice though, so to say she's past her prime is a bit false.

[FanaticoManiatico]

@AJB3 LOL

[Sinned21389]

Was this even needed uh Mariah 2nd best female performer of ALL TIME nuff said

[stardusth2o]

@sandyzmz 1998 :)

[blaqueeye]

Just some genuine constructive criticism for the creator.Stop going back and fourth on the comments with people.Let others do that because once its known who you prefer all credibility is out the window and you come off as bias.No matter how fair you claim you made the comparison video.

[TVmose]

OK OK all this singers comparisons are so... STUPID and RIDICULOUS! No matter who's better........ there will always be one better than another.... but it doesn't mean that the less skilled has no talent. There should be no reason for doing this kind of video. They are both talented. Mariah has OBVIOUSLY more vocal skills, but... Xtina represents an amazing exception in a generation of untalented singers... she's enough talented & she don't know how 2 use her voice properly...you can't deny it!

[sandyzmz]

@TVmose "a generation of untalented singers"? so u mean to say that norah jones, alicia keys, jennifer hudson, kelly clarkson, pink, adele, amy winehouse,beyonce are all untalented? ok christina is obviously better than singers like rihanna and katy perry, but i think u are over-generalising and underrating every other singer if u overrate christina that way. and christina possesses the best skills in singing and she knows how to use her voice to the best of her capabilities.

[TVmose]

@sandyzmz and by the way... as I said in my first comment, you can't say who's better... people have their own tastes. Every single artist you cited is very talented and has its own peculiarities and defects. There's no need to comparisons. If you think Mariah is better.. or Christina... you should keep it for you. Making videos about it, it's actually a demonstration of how stupid people is. If you love Mariah.. just listen to her... enjoy the music.. dont fill youtube with this shit.

[sandyzmz]

@TVmose i dont know what u are talking about.with what shit am i filling up youtube?did i say anything indecent?i just made a reasonable reply to u saying "generation of untalented singers".i just happen to think that even this generation like the previous generations is filled with very talented and wonderful female singers like norah jones,adele,kelly clarkson,alicia keys,jhud,etc.as for mariah and christina,the comparison will never end.and im not the one making these videos.so wats ur point?

[TVmose]

@sandyzmz sorry!! I thought you was the owner of the video LOL. But anyway... the point is that is not right to give strength to these videos, it's an insult to music. Music is what really matters. No comparisons, no vocal battles. That's the point.

[SuperPianogirl123]

@stardusth2o YES!! Read that bitch like a newspaper!!!!

[stardusth2o]

@TroyWannaBE101 Umm, the C5, C#5, D5, and E5 were all from 2008-2009 you dumb bitch.

[TroyWannaBE101]

You can't compare Christina 2011 to Mariah 05 .... Dumb video, Christina 2011 2012 is so much better than Mariah 2008 to now ....

[stardusth2o]

@ManOfBamboo LMAOOOOO!!! XD

[ManOfBamboo]

@stardusth2o Btw, I love the subliminal shade that was thrown at Christina at 4:37 XD

[ManOfBamboo]

I just LOVE Mariah Carey :D

[0414locos]

I just LOVE Christina Aguilera :D

[stardusth2o]

@SuperPianogirl123 LMAO! True!

[sandyzmz]

@stardusth2o What year was that when Mariah sang with Aretha because she sounded terrific!!!

[SuperPianogirl123]

This battle was over the second Mariah belted that C5 in her prime.

[TheZenomeProject]

@SuperPianogirl123 No, Mimi slayed her before she even took a breath LMFAO.

[ivennein]

Mariah Carey 20 years of singing Amazing!!! Christina only 10 years and She Lost her Voice? That's Sad She use to be A Great voice!!

[479RBD]

Mariah better 10000000000 times

[LovableNails]

3:49 POWERFUL!!!

[stardusth2o]

@LovableNails YES!!! :D

[MrKarltonn]

I think Christinas voice is better because its just raw power!! and her voice is so unique! Mariah is nothing new except for her whistle notes!

[ManOfBamboo]

@MrKarltonn Christina's voice is not pure, raw power lmfao, if anything her voice is the complete opposite of powerful. Mariah possesses one of the most unique vocal tones of all time, so I don't know why you are making her voice seem generic (although her voice would still be better than Christina's voice even if it were generic, anyway).

[lathanregintree]

@ManOfBamboo AHAHA SO TRUE,LOL

[lathanregintree]

@MrKarltonn u poor little hater ,ROFL!!!

[shaunmike]

I never see DICTION used as a gauge when it should be. I have no idea what xtina is saying when she screams....that ain't no way c# "IF you're stealing food from my hands"

[Rubaontiful]

@shaunmike I agree, although I have to admit that in her prime, Christina did have some good phrasing, a skill she learned by herself. But Mariah's diction is obviously superior in all areas, even the famous whistle register "amazing amazing" :P

[lathanregintree]

3:35 every one looks at mariah,LOL "DID MARIAH JUST SING??! OMG THAT WAS MARIAH" #lamb4life

[ladysasha90]

Mariah....Christina's notes always sound like nothing but strain and struggle like its taking everything out of her to hit the notes SMH it's quite sad actually

[AnonymousXtinaSinger]

Seems As Doe People Forget That Mariah Has Had Vocal Training Since She Was 5. Christina Is Just Now Getting Some As We Speak. So Christina Made Hits With A Raw Voice Which IMO Makes Her Better

[lathanregintree]

@AnonymousXtinaSinger she only had 1 #1,LOl where as mimi has had 18.and there are lots of singer's out who have never had vocal training and sound better then xtina :) hell little girls on tv all over world hitting g5s like its nothing all over youtube. i am not going to talk to bad about xtina b/c i like her as well but i will not deni her vocal strain.

[BigBlyeEyes1234]

@AnonymousXtinaSinger Yes, but Christina has had 16 years (since Mickey Mouse Club) to get vocal training, yet she declined because she thought her voice sounded great as it was.

[themasterflexG]

is it a video about MC and XTINA

i was thouhgt is MC vs Adele LOL

[agators212]

when is episode 2 coming out?

[Devotedlamb19]

Mariah slays Christina. In-prime, out-of-prime, and forever in the future.

[stardusth2o]

@Devotedlamb19 Exactly. She's 15 years out of her prime, and Mariah can still belt an E5 without strain, something Xtina has never done (or will ever do). Hell, Christina hasn't even belted a C5 without strain.

[raul7193]

Christina herself decided to do things which are way out of her league, and i don't mean she can't be a good singer, but she gotta know more about her own voice and try to sing just the way it was meant FOR HER, and not imitate other singers' belts and notes. Still i like her songs, but we all know who is the queen!

[iiAmitx3]

regarding the F#5 from make it happen u used for mariah, you could have used one from charmbracelet tour. other than that, great vid. but xtina fans are too biased to ever admit mariah is a better vocalist...

[stardusth2o]

@iiAmitx3 I used that F#5 because it's from her worst vocal era and most recent yet she could still belt up to that F#5.

[iiAmitx3]

@stardusth2o lol that acceptable (jk it's your vid lol) but i'd still prefer the 2003 one :)

[iiAmitx3]

@iiAmitx3 actually there are like 4 of them on youtube from 2003 xD

[mAnNyElLaTiNo33]

Mariah's F5's & first F#5 were in her prime, I would've used her F5's in "I Stay". :)

[stardusth2o]

@mAnNyElLaTiNo33 Those were from the Butterfly era, which was one year AFTER her prime and one of Mariah's worst era's vocally. That night at Diva's Live was one of the worst vocal performances in that era lol. Daydream was her peak and last era of her prime. Everything after was out of prime. She never sounded that way again, especially not in Butterfly.

[mAnNyElLaTiNo33]

@stardusth2o Gotcha hahah

[MrButler124]

@stardusth2o Butterfly was an amazing period,musically & tonality wise I mean. that was a period where her technique really pulled her through the change her voice was goin through. The melisma and tone from that era was mindbending. Diva's live wasn't that bad, she belted those F#5's with amzing accuracy and skill, really resonant as well. Great video!! ooo you could've used some Glitter or CB stuff too, well, I consider her prime 1989-2002, becuase G and CB were on point vocally:)

[stardusth2o]

@MrButler124 It was indeed amazing. I love the Butterfly era, it's my second favorite era. However it is not in her prime. I like to consider CB her second prime because she was in such great shape vocally. Just because she had some good notes in those era's, doesn't mean it's still in her prime. Her voice was hoarse and she struggled with the notes alot in the Butterfly era. Although, she had amazing moments and I love her tone in that era, it isn't in her prime though.

[MrButler124]

@stardusth2o I understand that a few good notes(she had a lot of good notes actually btb) doesn't mean it was her prime, I still consider it. Hoarse voice doesn't nessecarily mean bad, heck IMO it was a bonus, the raspy sound is what gave that era it's mark(along with melisma), true she did struggle with notes here and there, but then she also sang them freely other times too so I think it was hit and miss. I just connect it on through to Glitter and CB, because it was just 2 years

[stardusth2o]

@MrButler124 Yes, but it wasn't in her prime. Prime is where you sound your best with no effort, she struggled more times than not in that era and every era after. (Not to make this about her but) Celine isn't in her prime anymore, but she can still belt and F#5 frequently. Doesn't mean she's still in her prime. There is just a point where the voice isn't as good as it was. THAT"s out of your prime. You start,you grow, then you get to your peak and then go back down. Daydream was that peak.

[MrButler124]

@stardusth2o Ok, Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iii gotchu heheheheh. But Is a 2nd prime really a legitite term? I'ma look it up. Also, she didn't struggle in the Glitter-Charmbracelet era(at least, not from what';ve I've seen so far), in fact she seemed to belting even more like it was nothing. Plus her voice did sound rejuvenated, ehhh okey dokey. Guess why that;'s considered her second prime.

[applmac2009]

@stardusth2o she did amazing with aretha frankin that night, and she belted out my favorite performance of Make It Happen at the Beginning on the show. Those F5's in chain of fools are golden. and it was 1998 Btw :)

[stardusth2o]

@applmac2009 I agree. I love those performances and her voice overall in the Butterfly era. Those F5's were amazing. Btw, what are you replying to when you say "and it was 1998 Btw"?

:)

[applmac2009]

@applmac2009 i thought you were sayin it was 1997

[shaunmike]

Mariah but I much prefer xtina to nearly every voice today save adele. She strains in the way fantasia/keyshia cole do but with much better results ..especially cole.... I don't get it tho...if she strains so much why hasn't she nodules by now. She must be able to take it to some extent.

[MrButler124]

Mariah.Mariah.Mariah.Mariah.Ma­riah.Mariah,Mariah.Mariah,mari­ah,mariah,mariah

End. of. Sto. ry. Notice how the higher Mariah goes the more power her notes become and her voice really begins to "bloom". Which is why she is my favorite upper belt. Loved the vid, can't wait for the next ones! Ooo and that first C5 by Mariah was enough already hahahaha.

[FanaticoManiatico]

Mariah's voice is better, Xtina needs to take some vocal lessons 

[esteban55200]

mm i prefer mariah voice

[ManOfBamboo]

Christina stans need to give this up... Mariah will ALWAYS win this battle. :/

[RaciouS91]

mariah all the way

[socamgl]

I don't like Mariah but I still see this comparison as overkill (not that it will convince the Xtina stans or anything). I mean I am not exactly a musical person and I still can't understand how anyone can watch that part from 4:02 and praise Xtina. Her stans are scary.

[angie9222]

I prefer xtina, Mariah voice is weak for me. Both are great anyway, best pop singers for me

[stardusth2o]

@angie9222 I can assure you that Mariah's voice is far from weak :P

But thanks for commenting and sharing your opinion!

[angie9222]

@stardusth2o you are welcome. For me she sounds weak and a lot of times.

[christopherducati]

@angie9222 Christina has a very weak voice she's just loud where Mariah has the real power!

[angie9222]

@christopherducati For me Christina has a stronger voice but she is out of pitch a lot. And Mariah is almos always good but her voice is weak. I prefer xtinas voice.

[angie9222]

*almost

[christopherducati]

@angie9222 There is no power in Christina's Voice she's just loud. If she had real power she would actually be able to belt in the upper register, instead of sounding like a hot mess. The only one with real power is Mariah, notice how she just glides through every note with ease and every note sounds full and clear especially above E5. Where as Christina can't hit a F5 or higher and when she could it was more of a yelp or exclamation and strained as hell.

[elrynx2]

It hurts to listen to Xtina.

[stardusth2o]

@elrynx2 Oops, sorry. That comment was supposed to go to someone else xD

[imsofucingtired]

Christina without a doubt

[stardusth2o]

@imsofucingtired You can't possibly be serious.

[imsofucingtired]

@stardusth2o As serious as a judge.

[GCassa94]

Mariah>>>>>>>

[applmac2009]

Mariah has taken better care of her voice, and that F5 you used for christina is Atrocious. Her best F5 live is in understand. That being said, Mariah is the queen, and Christina is still miles behind.

[Breniznit]

I don't mind the f5 xtina did on the first one.. but lets face it all the other notes were shit..did i say shit.. i meant sit* as in sit and spin if you don't like it.Chow xx

[Luxiusta07]

Amazing video. The vocal beast killed the overrated barker.

And they lived happily ever after :)

The End.

[primohomme]

While Mariah is open and resonant, Christina is pinched, choked and strained

End of story.

[DreamloverLambi1]

when it comes down to it i love them both for different reasons

[0AspiringStar0]

what period are you counting as Christina's prime? Jw

[Mcvideos92]

I dont think mariah and xtina can be compared, they both have such different voices.

[RomuloVideos2]

Mariah should be compared to someone in her level: Whitney, Lara, Anastacia and other singers. Stans who says Christina is better than Mariah must be as much as respected as stans who say Mariah is better than Barbra.

[TheTomimomi455]

@RomuloVideos2 I think so! :)

[islandlife89]

btw christina has hit a F5 in somethings gotta hold of me live last year which is out of her prime

[stardusth2o]

@islandlife89 It was an E5 and it was strained as hell.

[MimiDahhling30]

Love them both, Mariah demolished her though!

[Rubaontiful]

Watches!

[BreBrebunny14]

Great video!! Mariah carey of course. Lolz

[kelvinpyaeko]

not the uploader of the video's fault that someone is just vocally superior in many ways. truths must hurt then. anyway, salute to you for coming out and making a daring video like this. people won't be able to stand even the truthful video as long as it hits their nerves. #endofrant..bye little ass crybabies

[stardusth2o]

@kelvinpyaeko Exactly. They watch videos like these and see that Mariah easily wins and suspect that I must be using Christina's "bad notes" or that this video is biased, when really I used some of X's best notes: Her C5 is from her "effortless, amazing 20-second belt", her C#5 is one of her better belts, her E5 is from her "best performance ever" and they prefer that F#5 over the MTV Movie awards one. ANd I could've used far worse notes for out of prime. LOL how sad :\

[kelvinpyaeko]

@stardusth2o lol..it's just the way they think..you can't do anything about it.:/

[kelvinpyaeko]

the winner is so obvious. but damn, lots of whining ass crybabies under the video lmao wonder why? no one should be upsetting 1) it isn't even a hate video 2) it's not even biased in favor of mariah since all the notes (in and out of prime) for xtina are all from performances where her stans have claimed to be one of the greatest in history. 3) i don't see those fucking crybabies however in videos like this /watch?v=A8CVdbwQg8E. so much for their whining asses

[TheTomimomi455]

I'm sick of videos like this. Have you a need to Christina to your videos??? Make videos about Playback Queen (Whoops!) how many you want but please stop including Chris to your videos when you don't like her! She isn't godness of vocal technique but Mariah isn't perfect too! For example I hate on Mariah her "whispering - singing" but i don't have a need to do videos about it! Hope you understand me.

[kelvinpyaeko]

@TheTomimomi455 what's your reason to be so upset and crying over this little video? because your 2nd favorite is obviously dumped? you should be. 'she isn't goddess of vocal technique' but her stans apparently have claimed stupid shit like that..so..and who is the fucking playback queen? comparison is always inevitable as long as some stupid stans would put their favorite on the shrine.

[TheTomimomi455]

@kelvinpyaeko Okey, but question is "WHY?" the maker or whoever need to put Christina (always)!!! This is not comparison because there is clear winner! This is hater video because Christina's clips are in poor quality & notes are not her best. Why the opponent couldn't be Whitney or lady "admired by all people" Beyonce??? Why still Chris? Have a hater orgasm when they see "hater" comment????

[kelvinpyaeko]

@TheTomimomi455 Like i said, this certainly looks like a video to prove how mariah is miles ahead of xtina when it comes to belting. 'christina's clips are in poor quality & notes are not her best' AS IF mariah's clips are in great qualities? ohh..'at last' in UK, her C#5 is oh mother, 'it's a man's world', her tribute to aretha and 'beautiful' performances at grammy are even HAILED (by her stans of course) as the GREATEST in history. so i don't get what you are saying ;)

[kelvinpyaeko]

@TheTomimomi455 there are also tons of videos of comparison videos with mariah and whitney and beyonce. TheVocalPower just uploaded a mariah vs bee video like two days ago..soooo..anyway, you won't see either whitney fans or beyonce fans crying 'i am so sick of it. stop putting our queens in a video pit against mariah' and you should wonder WHY..it's simple: cause xtina fans know as hell that she gonna lose in those videos, so they say nothing but cry under every comparison video. period

[TheTomimomi455]

@kelvinpyaeko I'm a Christina fan and I don't need to make hater videos about Mariah, to I can prove that Christina is still better for me!I'm a true fan and I don't need to compare her to shity singers like Jessica Simpson or Cheryl Cole! You can love your "Queens" and I'll love my queens.

[kelvinpyaeko]

@TheTomimomi455 now this sounds interesting. prove it how she is better. just via comments. go on....

but thanks for giving me the true reason why you all sound so pressed over this video. cause you don't like the truth that someone slays ur favorite. 'i don't need to compare her to shitty singers' well, the difference is no one is saying jessica or cherly sings better than xtina, whereas you xtina stans love to say how she sings better than people above her league. NEXT

[kelvinpyaeko]

@TheTomimomi455 btw, you still haven't explained to me how this is a hate video. because i refuted all your claims on how the uploader chose the poor quality clips of xtina not so good notes? ohh

[Rubaontiful]

@TheTomimomi455 It's okay if Mariah is too talented for you hun, but Christina is trully a joke of a singer, she is badly influencing younger singers with unhealthy shouts and grunts. Mariah has near perfect technique, and her belts are always resonant. It's not a hate video, it's a comparison, it's obvious you know Mariah SLAYED her in the first note and thus think this is some sort of hate video.

[TheTomimomi455]

@Rubaontiful She is not too talented for me she is so overloved for me! Christina is great singer with powerful mid belts, sexy low notes and nice head/whistle register and her music is hundred times better than (New) Mariah's.

[Rubaontiful]

@TheTomimomi455 Um according to who? You? Okay. Christina is not a great singer she's terrible she shouts notes and grunts ALL THE TIME, she's TOO OVERRATED.

[TheTomimomi455]

@Rubaontiful Not so much! Mariah is a trained singer and Christina is a natural talent!

[Rubaontiful]

@TheTomimomi455 Shouting and grunting is not a talent hun, get real.

[Scanned]

@TheTomimomi455 Someone as talented as Mariah is far more than a 'trained singer.' She's a natural talent with training. Christina is a natural talent with neglected training and poor vocal habits that she insists upon. Natural talent is no excuse when it comes out sounding like utter shit tbh.

[Scanned]

@TheTomimomi455 Bionic sucked. Back to Basics was hit or miss. E=MC^2 & Memoirs are much better albums. None are perfect, but Mariah's are much better. Of course, this is all merely an opinion thing.

[stardusth2o]

@TheTomimomi455 I made this video because I'm tired of CHristina's stan's constant bashing of Mariah over her vocal decline, lipping, weight (meanwhile Christina looks 9 months pregnant), and much more. They go so far as to use racist slurs and take to stalking and I"m tired of it. I don't hate Christina either. I was actually hoping that those lessons would help her, but I guess she's beyond that point now :(

[RomuloVideos2]

@stardusth2o lol Some Mariah stan's constant bashing Aretha and everyone else, attacking either, looks and other aspects from other singers.

[TheTomimomi455]

@stardusth2o I'm not Mariah hater too. I love Christina and You love Mariah. I respect it but it looks like that you don't respect it. I was never bashing on Mariah and I'm not going to do it because I like her and admire her vocal qualities and someone who is saying that Mariah or Chris are fat is stupid one. Being an artist isn't about look but Mariah and Chris are beautiful ladys! I was very disappointed when I saw her on AMAs too but when she was singing HYAMLC in Disney she was quite good.

[stardusth2o]

@TheTomimomi455 Yes, Christina has good moments, most of the time it's only in the studio, but I liked her performance of I Love You Porgy. It shows just how beautiful her voice really is. I just wish she would've stuck with songs like that instead of trying to sing outside of her range all the time. This videos isn't against you or anything. It's a comparison, and just because Mariah won doesn't mean that I'm hating on Christina, it means that Mariah's belting skills>>>>Christina's. 'Tis all :)

[Stefano94x]

@stardusth2o Still "I Love You Porgy" was a mess in terms of pitch lol.

[TheTomimomi455]

@stardusth2o I'm not so crazy stan and you know it! I don't want to have an enemies on YouTube but I was very annoyed! I'm sorry!

[Scanned]

icant at you insulting mariah this way

[stardusth2o]

@Scanned LOL xD

[BZBlaner]

Mariah. I don't know that second league.

[Stefano94x]

LOL at Christina's out-of-prime C5. That performance was a fucking hawwwt mess!

[TheTomimomi455]

@Stefano94x It's D5.

[Stefano94x]

@TheTomimomi455 Just checked it with my piano. You're right. Still it wasn't the topic of my comment.

[Stefano94x]

Mariah outclasses Xtincta in every single way.

LOL at how her C5 ends the competition.

[musicguy713]

Not to mention these arent even mariahs best clips post her prime lool but anyways that last F#5 from mariah showed her in awful vocal condition yet because of her technique she could still get that F#5 out. Christina had the potential and maybe still has a chance but all i can say is that her voice is going downhill :(

[stardusth2o]

@musicguy713 Exactly! Mariah has much better notes, and Christina has much worse. Yes, Christina has BETTER notes than this, but they have to think: does she always sound like that or like how she does in this?

[Assaulterable]

I'm sick of it. damn

[MCLAMB4LIFE1]

Mariah of course is superior, but their voices and techniques are totally and completely different so they shouldn't be compared. Mariah was trained by her mother a Juilliard Opera Singer and has complete control of her voice & Christina has no vocal training at all and a limited comfortable singing range. so really Christina is at a disadvantage, but Christina has that wonderful strong tone in her voice and that's why i love her. But Mariah is the Vocal Goddess!!

[shacks29]

@MCLAMB4LIFE1

I agree but I doubt that Mariah´s mother teached her how to Belt ;)

[Rubaontiful]

@MCLAMB4LIFE1 Xtina actually did took lessons, but she just sings like she wants to.

[Dam112]

mariah.



[MimiXtinaChelleKRow]

mariah unDOUBTEDLY on EVERY SINGLE NOTE but i can see that this video doesnt put christina in a good light. :(

[DreamloverLambi1]

@MimiXtinaChelleKRow lol it doesn't 

[kelvinpyaeko]

@MimiXtinaChelleKRow it's because christina herself is vocally way inferior to mariah, something her deluded stans can't see, hence videos like this pop out to prove it. it's as simple as that.

[stardusth2o]

@MimiXtinaChelleKRow Bad light? How? I only used notes according to what her fans say about them. Her In Prime C5 was from her "amazing, effortless, 20-second belt", her C#5 is one of her better notes, her D5 is better than alot of her others, her E5 is from her "best performance ever", her F#5 is a note that her fans prefer over the one at the MTV music awards from what I've seen, and her G5...does she have any better lol? And I could've used much worse notes for her out of prime, so it's fair.

[islandlife89]

@stardusth2o ANOM had much better C5's

[DreamloverLambi1]

no comment lol i can see the hate already but ill say of course Mimi Dahhling lol

[stardusth2o]

@DreamloverLambi1 Lol hate? Mariah has much better notes in and out of prime and Christina has much worse notes in and out of prime so I think it's a pretty even battle. Mariah will win no matter what, that isn't my fault :P
