The videos are funny but so foolish. Always trying to start drama - Mariah and Whitney spent the end of that Oprah performance messing around together with their riffs and and laughing mid-song. It ain't serious.
stupid caption. Whitney has a better tone and is more soulful. They both did a fantastic job and on that show showed they are not rivals or haters of each other.
I like Mariah more. But everyone knows Whitney is the better singer.
Only thing Mariah had over Whitney was range. Whitney had more control, power, and tone. Mariah's live vocals have always been a little choppy, and are kinda thin.
Excuse me but ..one day of Whitney vocals(in the 80's-90's..of course) = Mariah's career.
And I love Mariah..but in live performances she's "like the record" (when she can)..she doesn't "explore"..she's unoriginal..she does those "magic tricks"...
while Whitney...well..I feel excited every time she sings..just watch her 80's-early to mid 90's live performances on Youtube..she had fun..she reinveted her songs..she does extraordinary runs...
my 2 cents of course..but one of the best voices I've ever heard in my life...

People are always going to mention Whitney's past in their debates because that's all she has, while people can easily mention Mariah's future and she still heading strong. I mean, I have Whitney's latest album, love the song Diane Warren has written for her, but l just can't support her anymore. Like I said before, longevity wise she's gone. It's better to just mention her past because her music career right now is nothing.
Example: This performance. She can't hold a note longer than 5 seconds. She sounds like she's grasping for hair. She's yelling.
And even has fans walking out.
No shade, but if you want to have a mutual debate about it we can.
I would argue that Mariah is nowhere near the level she was at during her prime (i.e. 'Emotions') either. She might be able to pop off a head whistle here and there but lately she's been relying a little too much on the whole whispery speak-singing herself. And for every ****** current-Whitney performance, there's a ****** Mariah performance from back when she "still had it." Her performance of "Hero" from the Tribute to Heroes 911 telethon springs to mind. Not to mention the fact that Mariah's Super Bowl National Anthem performance was completely and utterly forgettable.

The difference is that Mariah's tone hasn't changed that much over the years. Whitney's has so it makes the vocal changes more noticeable.
