Mariah Carey vs Whitney Houston (Grammy Performance)

We all know that Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey are two of the most dynamic and talented female artists of the twentieth century with many great live performances. But two performances in particular seem to capture fans' attention: Whitney's performance of One Moment in Time at the 1989 Grammy Awards and Mariah's performance of If It's Over at the 1992 Grammy Awards. These are widely considered to be the best performances from each artist. Both are spectacular, but which performance do you think is best? Listen and judge. Try to put your fanhood aside and base your decision on their vocals alone.

What song does Mariah still have in the top 40..... She has not had a top 40 in three years.

@AAS248441 We could ask the same question of Whitney. Hasn't had a top 40 hit in over 10 years.

@GAZISGAZ We were talking about the Top 40 as in the Hot 100 chart . The other charts aren't relevant.

MARIAH CAREY HANDS DOWN! SHE IS SIMPLY THE BEST. THE WHOLE PACKAGE!! VOICE AND TALENT TO WRITE AND PRODUCE. ALTHOUGH I THINK WH IS A WONDERFUL SINGER MARIAH IS MORE TALENTED. NOTHING THAT HAS EVER BEEN WRITTEN BY WH MADE SUCCESS (SHE BARELY DOES IT) BUT FROM MARIAH THERE ARE LOADS THAT MADE AN IMPACT CAME FROM HER ABILITY NOT ONLY, NOT ONLY I SAY TO SING BUT TO WRITE AND PRODUCE.

Omg wow. WHY DIDN'T THEY DUET EARLIER WHEN THEY WERE BOTH IN THEIR PRIMES?! It would have been amazing.

As for the Grammy performances, they were both amazing, but Mariah's was just flawless. Love them both though.
