OMG. The Dr. Luke comment to Ke$ha is real?!?!? I thought that was a joke. A refrigerator?!? I guess it makes sense tho, Dr. Luke does post on all these boards. He's seriously the worst, I remember when he used to troll the Kelly fans in 2007 and kept saying My December was gonna flop b/c Kelly didn't want to work with him....he was right and she was forced to run back for MLWSWY. lmao.
Let me give Rolland the response he wants then re-exit as it is past 1am and have things to do tomorrow morning.
1. I never said AIWFC > IWALY or MHWGO. I was responding to a poster who said Mariah doesn't have a song in that realm of impact. So, your "AIWFC is irrelevant in Kazkhastan" or wherever else claim holds absolutely no merit whatsoever. And I couldn't care less about "impact" made in some small African village or the like that I've never so much as Googled pictures of. AIWFC is especially impressive because, unlike the other two, it had no huge movie carrying it and she wrote it herself.
2. Horrible discographies, your opinion. Which I take with a grain of salt considering who/what you typically go up for.
3. Ballad staples. Once again, I never said IWALY or MHWGO aren't ballad staples. But, are you going to pretend that "Hero" and "Without You" aren't also ballad staples? Especially in foreign and domestic singing competitions?
4. Whitney, Mariah, and Celine are all completely different. Especially the former 2. Whitney was a balladeer. Naturally we remember her for her towering belts and power. Mariah was never that. Mariah is known mostly for her whistle register. She's my favorite vocalist because she was more creative with her melisma.
No, Mariah could not have sung IWALY. But, Whitney nor Celine could've sung "Emotions" or "Vision of Love" either.
And for the record, I don't always bring up X whenever you decide to come for Mariah. I just think it's funny how you diss Mariah for so many things that can also be found in your own fave. I think you're an alright poster actually.
Toni can REALLT come back with the right label.
She was as big as anyone in the 90s and people still remember some of her music.
She just needs the right label and management.

He's posted in Pop culture/music boards? omg what?
Xtina's style of singing sounds more similar to Toni than Whitney/Mariah i.m.o. The only difference is Toni knows when to growl or grunt, and Xtina uses it as a crutch
She has only performed it once at a random concert, but there's no footage of it I think it's because the song is very difficult to sing.
"I'm Every Woman" is much more difficult to sing, no?
It requires a lot more power notes. She always sang that. I think the falsetto in "Run to You" may have been Whitney's weakest part but not enough to not perform it.
Emotions and I Have Nothing are better in my opinion. There's nothing really impressive about IWALY vocally, what makes the song so special is Whitney's tone and resonance. And Emotions is pretty much impossible to sing.
I Have Nothing comes really close. But the studio version of IWALY is literally flawless.
Emotions is also really difficult, but not impossible. Ariana did it justice.
That is what I said.
I'm just saying that Secrets has better stand-outs.
How Could an Angel Break My Heart
Why Should I Care
Talkin in His Mother****ing Sleep
Ooh LAWD let me go pop in this cd
What has always irritated me about Betty Wright is that she always has these talk sessions in her songs. I'm guess I'm the only black person who isn't here for that.
It's probably the only one people know about plus Without You. But sadly they don't hold a candle to MHWGO and IWALY. That's the point.

I thought so until Ms. Ariana came and gathered Mariah note by note.

lol he really did that
wow, i wonder what his thoughts are on britney. she dumped him too and found a mind and pen of her own.
I think it's because the song is very difficult to sing.
