Both powerhouse vocalists released amazing debut singles in the 90s that continue to influence singers around the world.

But which single was bigger worldwide?

Interesting.

[KKCuteCat]

Since i didn't know about the other, i have to vote for If You Had My Love.

[TheFireLexus]

How many people here were even alive when Vision of Love was released?

Considering that you even claimed that "Touch My Body" was bigger than the international smash "On the Floor" in another thread, I would say it's the other way around.

[bowdown]

Vision of Love and it's not close.

[eli's_rhythm]

Vision of God was a bigger hit because I like it more.

Maybe you should worry about ur fave losing custody of her children rather than a relevant artist who currently has a top 10 worldwide hit

[JLO_FeEN]

If You Had My Love, obviously.

I love Mimi, but Vision of Love was pretty local, while If You Had My Love topped the charts in 5 countries and reached the Top 10 in more than 15.

The question was who had a bigger debut single not who's debut single made bigger impact.

How can a debut even make a impact?

People didn't know who Mariah was back in her debut to take notes from her. It was only after she become big the song vocal impact started.

[EnoughSaid]

I prefere IYHML by FAR but VOL complete and total impact/legacy is so undeniable. Pac, Jay, Snoop and every single talented female recording artist that came after her reference her and that song so yeah

[Rick]

Even Beyoncé said VOL is the reason why she wanted to become a singer.

[Magniterrain]

I only recall Vision Of Love being performed at TALENT shows and at auditions for music competitions, so it's the obvious choice.

[Callisto.]

Both powerhouse vocalists

How much did J.Lo even sing on that song?

[Behava]

MARIAH !!

!!!

Ashanti and Christina Milian probably did the heavy lifting.

[fabbriche]

J.Lo needs to win even once against Mariah so let's give it to her. Anyway, the OP is only asking for which debut single was bigger, not which one was better or more impactful.

[beans]

Why are we comparing this trash to Vision of Love? It's very insulting.

The answer is still: Vision of Love.


Deal.
