Idk why some Mariah stans can't accept that they BOTH have had an immense impact on music, Pop culture, and artists. There's no need to try to diminish Whitney to make Mariah look better, and vise-versa.
Whitney influenced or inspired almost every singer that came after her, INCLUDING Mariah and Celine.
No. MARIAH had to change her sound because she sounded so much like Whitney in the beginning.
I mean, what does that mean when Mariah sounded like Whitney in the beginning of her career? It means that Whitney's voice isn't unique.

That is not why Mariah changed her sound You make no sense. Mariah was compared to Whitney because of the tone of her voice not her music. Her change to a more R&B-Hip-Hop sound came years after the Whitney comparisons were even relevant.
Leona Lewis was compared to Mariah also. Does that mean her voice isn't unique?

If it wasn't for Whitney Houston most black female singers wouldn't get the time of day on MTV. Stop trying to diminish Whitney's legacy, it makes you look delusional.

That's a bold-faced lie. If anything she had the best seamless transitions from head voice to chest voice.

No, Leona TRIED TOO HARD to be Mariah, that's why she kept on being compared to her. Learn the difference.
But what about her sales after the Bodyguard Soundtrack? Her her last concert? Mariah can't sell stadiums well, but she at least kept her voice somewhat still decent.
What a weak argument.
Sales-decreases happen to every act. No one is immune. She had her moment when she sold millions. I could say the same about Mariah and her whole career since Giltter, so let's not...
Whitney's songs are easier to sing because all they need is a loud, booming chest voice. Hell, even Nicole Scherzinger can nail I Will Always Love You.
If Whitney was the greatest vocalists of all time, then how come there are hundreds of girls who can give justice to her songs and sing them just as good - if not, better than her?
What about Mariah's songs? No one dares to sing Mariah songs because it's impossible to do so.
Whitney's head voice is abysmal, her vocal range is only 3 octaves, she goes really thin after E5, he low notes are unsupported. Her chest voice is just loud, that's about it.
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
Mariah's pitch perfect accuracy, her incredibly range, her seamless transitions, her perfect runs... I'm sorry she doesn't come close how?
Mariah's influence is huge. She didn't just inspire every vocalist we know today, but she influenced almost the entire music industry. Dreamlover remix introduced the world to something new. A Pop-Hip Hop remix. People still feature rappers on their R&B and Hip Hop songs, because she did it first.

Due to the success and influence of the song, Carey is credited for introducing R&B and hip hop into mainstream pop culture, and for popularizing rap as a featuring act through her post-1995 songs. Sasha Frere-Jones, editor of The New Yorker commented in referencing to the song's remix, "It became standard for R&B/hip-hop stars like Missy Elliott and Beyoncé, to combine melodies with rapped verses. And young white pop stars—including Britney Spears, 'N Sync, and Christina Aguilera—have spent much of the past ten years making pop music that is unmistakably R&B.

Carey's vocal style and singing ability have significantly impacted popular and contemporary music. As music critic G. Brown from The Denver Post wrote, "For better or worse, Mariah Carey's five-octave range and melismatic style have influenced a generation of pop singers." According to Rolling Stone, "Her mastery of melisma, the fluttering strings of notes that decorate songs like "Vision of Love", inspired the entire American Idol vocal school, for better or worse, and virtually every other female R&B singer since the Nineties." Jody Rosen of Slate Magazine wrote of Carey's influence in modern music, calling her the most influential vocal stylist of the last two decades, the person who made rococo melismatic singing
She comes more than close. They are equal in my eyes and they have been since the mid 90's. Both second only to Madonna when it comes to success and IMO they both influenced far more singers/performers than Madonna or Janet have. That's saying something.

A Mariah stan coming for tours?
The ignorance
He's saying that after the Bodyguard, she peaked and and her sales went downhill. Never rose. Unlike Mariah, she SLAYED and RULED the 90's and After Glitter, she Picked herself up and Had the song of 00's decade. And she kept shooting those #1's

Thank you. Whitney was huge in 1994, but that's about it. Mariah slayed Japan. I mean ~20 million albums from Japan alone?

And you lost me there.
Whitney influenced those singers first. The fact that Mariah was influenced by Whitney says it all.
