melisma: Whitney/Stevie did it first but she put it in evidence in Vision Of Love
pop-hip hop collabs: a lot of people say it's her but Janet did build the bridge between hip hop and r&b/pop with Control and RN1814
butterfly sexy era (1997): Janet. (1993) and Erotica (1992) happened before

It's not about who makes it first, it's more about who makes it popular

Mariah set the trend for these glossy, larger than life Divas collaborating with rappers yall can look that up. Please dont use Janet as an argument because I love and respect her but Mariah really did bring the Pop Diva + Male MC's into the mainstream. For melismatic style of singing "Vision of Love" is cited as Magna Carta of Melisma. Oh and how many popstars have been named the "Next/New Mariah" that alone is a testament enough of how these trends of beautiful girl next door with that can hit high notes and is very marketable, will always be associated with Mariah.

I love how all the artists people voted as followers are more relevant than the so called trendsetters.

Anyways Mariah's a trendfollower. Her whole career's based on trends set by Whitney, and Minnie.

That's because there are always new trends to hop on and leech off, nobody can constantly be a trend setter tho

Mariah is a trend setter.

Melisma has never been a trend
And Mariah definitely influenced artists with her pop/hip-hop collaborations

Exactly. Britney didn't even have a true record deal at first, either. It was provisional. Originally Britney's idea was to chase trends (Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls) by joining the group Innocence that Lou Perlman put together, until Larry Rudolph decided that he wanted to pitch her as a solo artist. This is in contrast to Christina who always wanted to be a solo artist from the get-go. And her pop-oriented Just Be Free demo album that was recorded in '94-'95 showed where Christina's headspace was in terms of what kind of artist she was going to be on the debut album.

LOL! Xtina was originally supposed to be a HAC/AC type of act until Britney exploded, so RCA quickly remixed her album into teen-pop
