Both Mariah and Whitney can Sang, but Whitney is the best.....Mariah even in her prime sounded like a choked bird at times, but I luved her then.....I bought Mariah's CD's but sumtimes her voice wuz annoying even to a fan at the time.
@fructis79, keep standing, you will make it....We all have our demons no matter what they are and don't let no1 tell you other wise.....Be Blessed in the Spirit. God's Luv
I can listen to her in her prime all morning, noon and night. She is one of the view singers that can initiate such raw emotions from so many people with her gift of a voice and when she sings live, time stands still. I pray her strength to overcome in Jesus name, Amen.
And this is why we come back to watch and listen..not put down judge compare...to listen to GODS creatures...good or bad!!! Enjoy it jus enjoy it!!! And let all the rest go...he is divine...he knows what he is doing...we r only human...ENJOY WHITNEY...ITS GODS GIFT TO ALL OF US...STOP JUDGING AND JUS ENJOY!!! I've SAID MY PEACE AMEN.
I heard this live when I was 23...now I am 41 and going thru my own drug issues. And then found this song by a person who has always inspired me. God whispered and said; she is still standing...THIS DAY!!! Listen to his vessels and how he sees fit to use them.....im still standing...THIS DAY!!! THERE A GOD AND I NEED YOU...THIS DAY!!!! ENUFF SAID.
Whitney may be a better performer than Mariah Carey, not a better singer. WH has a powerful voice, Mariah a much higher voice. Both have great techniques. Mariah Carey writes everything and basically makes music, on the other hand WH spent her entire life depending on others to write her musics. Both a great. I do prefer Mariah I think she is more complete.
@SongChumper One thing has nothing to do with the other.
MC has fright stage WH doesn't. WH does own the stage in a way that MC does not, but that does not mean she is a better singer. MC has also been considered the voice by the people in the music industry and WH was in that list too, but came third. And she has been twice. Differences apart is a matter of taste, however in terms of talent MC is way more talented than WH.
@paulinolondon Wrong that is your opinion. Why is Whitney called "The Voice" if Mariah is a better singer as you say. Truth is Whitney is a better singer and has better stage presence. Mariah isn't even the second best singer of all time. Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin and many others are better than her. Mariah's voice is not interesting to me from a musical point of view - It doesn't do anything for me and has no soul. Great voices must have soul. Mariah has no soul.
@WhoLueYou Well, I am not only saying what I think I actually have stated what people in the industry music has said about MC. So, I think whatever your opinion is doesn't not change the fact that she has been put as a legend and other famous singers do follow her steps Xtina Aguilera and Rihanna. About having soul as I said you know little about her and her music career so you should not even go there.
@paulinolondon In fact usually when it says co-written or co-produced, what it really means is that the brains behind the writing and producing was not the singer. Co-written is just a way of giving some credit to the singer. I bet Mariah just said something like "I want to sing a love song about this topic etc" and her producer probably said "Ok Mariah, you just leave the actual writing to me and everything will be fine". Mariah: "Ok producer man, but can you give me some writing credits?"
@paulinolondon If you want to talk about all round talent, then Stevie Wonder is much more talented than Mariah Carey will ever be. He can sing brilliantly, play many instruments at a very high level, produce and compose innovative musical arrangements. Mariah co-wrote most of her songs and co produced some of them. Stevie Wonder did everything on his own and is the only true genius in popular music history. Don't dare compare Mariah Carey to real musicians like Stevie Wonder.
@WhoLueYou ah ok! Because you can't defend WH anymore, because in her entire career she hasn't written no even co-written anything then you change to Stevie Wonder. We were not comparing them. but MC and WH as far as talent go MC is way ahead WH. Who got everything done for her.
@paulinolondon Yeah but you can't deny the fact that Stevie Wonder is way better than Mariah Carey. Stevie Wonder is a genius. Mariah Carey is a whore and Whitney Houston is the greatest female singer of all time
@WhoLueYou Your blah, blah has no base. MC has won Grammy awards for ther writing talent. How many your idol has won? None, Zero, Niente my friend. You are assuming that she co-wrote and co-produced. As stated before she wrote herself a lot of her songs and also did the melody. MC is down as legend, has sold more than WH, has won the prizes of The Voice and WH niente. If Mariah is a whore look @ WH drug addict. MC still sells and produces and get number one hits.Feel sorry for you.
@paulinolondon I know classical music fans that love Whitney Houston. I've never heard of any classical music fan that likes Mariah's Carey. Classical music fans understand what music is and the beauty of music is in the sound. I love listening to Mozart and Handel, and to me the only non classical music person that compares to them is Whitney Houston.
I am a trained violinist and pianist and I really love good singers; I listen to Whitney Houston all the time- I am a huge fan. She is the greatest singer in the world.
@paulinolondon Also don't forget that Whitney Houston co produced many of her songs including "I Will always love you". In fact it was Whitney herself who insisted on doing the opening part of that song in acapella. Also Whitney did co-write one song - "Queen of the Night". This proves that Whitney can also co-write when she wants to. Truth is neither Whitney nor Mariah are great songwriters or great producers. Great songwriters and great producers don't need help from other people.
@paulinolondon In conclusion, Mariah is a great singer but Whitney is the best female singer of all time. Mariah fans like to say that Mariah wrote all her songs, but the truth is Mariah co-wrote and co-produced her songs and never wrote the or produced the songs on her own. Also Mariah fans forget that Whitney co-produced many of her songs including her signature song "I will always love you"
@paulinolondon Mariah doesn't write music. She merely writes lyrics. Lyrics is not music. Whitney composes music live with her voice - She improvises different versions of songs. Whitney Houston can sing one song about 10 different ways and make it work. That is true musical talent. Whitney improvises with her voice they guys Hendrix did with his guitar and the way Mozart did with his piano
@WhoLueYou you'not properly informed about MC. Hero ther lyrics and the music were both done by her along with Walter Afanasief and Vanishing has been done entirely by her. Lyrics and the music. Stated also by Westlife who worked with Mariah that she makes music. MC sings all her songs live with different arrangements. Mariah can also sing any song that will sound amazing on her voice. Proof is Without You,Open Arms, etc
@paulinolondon Lmao yea Right Whitney Houston aka the 1st Voice!!!!! will never come 2nd or 3rd to none thats why you are listening to her Videos now Good Day!
A great voice, yes, but make no mistake--still a pop singer voice. Her voice has nowhere near the depth, texture, and complexity of a Sarah, or an Ella, or a Dinah, or even a Baby Washington. I'm reminded of this, especially when I hear Sarah sing "Foggy Day" or Baby sing "Only Those in Love."
i hate when i hear ppl say that mariah is better than her.....Mariah is NOWHERE NEAR Whitney, nor aretha, nor the clark sisters, nor beyonce....but WHITNEY IS THE QUEEN! Long live THE VOICE!
Oh please! I love Beyonce but don't sneak her in there like she deserves to be with the greats that you mentioned! She doesn't! I too think Whitney is ultimately a better singer than Mariah, but if you don't think Mariah can compete with the others you mentioned, you are unfairly disregarding her abilities (especially on her earlier more obscure albums).
@CamWrightborn2sing what??? First of all don't do My Mariah, How are any of those better Than Mc, I mean First of all i Love whitney With all my entire heart and soul, But I do Like Mariah just a little dot more, She has the most unique voice I have ever Heard... That's why She is The Greatest Women singer and Women legend ever created.. Beyonce or aretha?? really? No... Mariah 1, Whitney 1.0.
While I sincerely love this song, growing up in The Church of God in Christ, these musicians are outstanding and the background singers are on point. I have sung this song hundreds of times but never with the right musicians...Gifts and calls come without repentance and I am hoping God will restore her anointed vocal chords...
Did you know that Whitney is the most emulated artist on every talent show from X factor to The Pop Idol franchise - every female singer and a lot of males - if they could - would prefer to sound like Whitney than any other artist.
