Who do you prefer ?

Whitney for me, prefer her songs and think she sings with more emotion.

Whitney in her prime was far better than Mariah, IMO.

That's what double barrelled shotguns were invented for, wasn't it? One barrel for each...

I prefer Whitney's songs. I genuinely think she has an amazing voice. I find Mariah to have quite a piercing voice.

Shame how things turned out for Whitney

Whitney because she's elegant, dignified and has never taken her clothes off to sell records. Mariah I loved in her heyday 1990-97 but ever since she transitioned to Urban music, I feel she's ruined her image along with it- how the mighty can fall

Neither.

They're both a couple of old has-beens who should be put out to grass where Celine is already awaiting.

Whitney has a better voice but she just never really appealed to me.

Mariah has all the vocal appeal of an un neutered Tom cat imo

no of course not



I prefer Mariah, I feel she has just as strong a voice but does not always use it to its potential. Also she writes more of her own stuff.

And Whitney was pretty quick to jump on the urban bandwagon too, remember "Its not right but its ok".
She looked like a prostitute in that vid.
I hate Mariah's image too though she really goes too far with it sometimes.
But fair play to her in one sense no one thought she would ever have a hit album after Glitter but The Emancipation of Mimi did quite well. And as far as we know she didn't turn to drugs when things got bad.

Whitney has a little girl yet she's wasted her life. Its sad really.

Oh I know I'm defending Mariah's dress sense it is horrible at the best of times but I'm just sick of whitney being made out to be this virgin mary princess when in fact she is a drug addict and and god knows what else.

Don't get me wrong, I have several Whitney CDs in my collection but I hardly think her behaviour over the last few years could be remotely described as dignified sadly.

I'm not really into that screechy-warbling type of singing, but I'd have to say Whitney. She's really lost the plot in recent years though, sadly.

Mariah definatley. She writes and produces all her own material as well as her amazing voice, more than what Whitney does. I'm not disputing Whitney's voice though, it is amazing.. well was.

Yes because "Through The Rain" was so 'urban' wasnt it.

I completely agree. Beside is you really want to be precise, her "urbaness" started in about 1993 with the re-mix of Dreamlover and continued with the OBD and Puffy re-mixes of Fantasy in 1995 . Not that i'm a fan or anthing lol.

I will alway prefer Mariah over Whitney, but Whitney's first two albums were amazing.

They have both made some fantastic pop songs and their voices are fantastic. While this can be a very very good thing, it can also be a downfall because they try to show off their voices in EVERY song when it isn't actually necessary. Yes, it is very suited to the "We Belong Together"s and "I Will Always Love You"s but some of their more upbeat and poppy songs are not written for it.

IMO, Whitney is very good, but Mariah has had more quality songs. I know Mariah had a bit of a dodgy period with her "look at me, I'm urban" phase, but I really believe she has got back to the top of her game with "Mimi" which was one of her her best albums ever because of its incredible variety.

Lets face it though, "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" is just the best pop song of all time (well, at least in the top 3!)
