  • do not compare them. because minnie is mariah's idol.

  • ok no need to compare minnie with mariah because they both have very unique gifts given to them that most singers do not NATURALLY posess. minnie came out before mariah and she always says that minnie was the influence for her whistle. minnie is amazing and came first, but mariah is freakishly amazing as well. mariah is inspired and minnie would be honored.

  • @MsMerising - Sigh! You speak the truth - Respect!

  • clear, pure sound......

  • The people who state Minnie has no vocal control are biased non-musicians. A master like Charles Stepney would not have worked with a sub-par vocalist, Phyllis Hyman (a master stylist with control) said she learned about using range from Minnie. She blew Roland Rahshan Kirk's mind when he first heard her. Not to mention Minnie could do all this live, no studio wizardry necessary :) <3

  • @tabbykat677

    You ain't never lied... <3

  • I think that comparing the two is absolute stupidity, what you should be doing is appriciating the song.

  • @tabbykat677 Right On! Minnie could sing notes higher than a Theremin!!!

  • at first i said to myself--"is that minnie's voice at the intro part? ahaha...lol"

    then i watched the full vid,, i felt confused,, where's minnie's voice?where's the song?

    is that her whistle? the whole song??(i mean the middle part of the whole vid)

    btw--the latter part sounds kinda scary....

  • Mariah is good, but she ain't no minnie. Also, Minnie was screaming even when she was dying of cancer and never missed a note... Can Mariah say the same??

  • FIRST OF ALL MINNIE RIPERTON Paved the WAY For singers such as Mariah Carey being the first of her kind to release that ability in her music!!!!!!! THIS WAS AMAZING And ms.cannon GOT NOTHING ON IT ( not saying ms.cannon can't do it) BUT Minnie did it BEFORE HER!!!!!! R E S P E C T
