Help settle a debate

My take would be Houston had the better voice, Carey the better catalogue.

I can think of maybe a couple iconic songs from Mariah. Whitney has at least half a dozen plus her rendition of the national anthem. Mariah has tremendous titties. Whitney still wins.

Mariah's debut album was phenomenal.

Whitney's the GOAT. End of discussion.

Whitney: More quality
Mariah: More quantity

I'll let you judge who was better based on that.

Houston gets down voted for ripping off Gordon Lightfoot.

Would listen to some Whitney and hardly (if ever) anything by the other one.

Mariah was trash. Whitney in a landslide.

Would argue the opposite. What song of mariah’s can come close to I will always love you? But Whitney had the better voice as well as catalog.

Had an old pharmacist in Atlanta who said that he used to work at a store where Whitney would come in the store and look at the card aisle and they would turn off the speakers playing the pumped in music , and she would sing up and down the aisles and it would echo and boom and it was fricking magical

And then they’d give her a bunch of drugs?

Mariah has 19 No.1 Billboard singles... ...and this


...and this too


...Mariah Carey possesses a five-octave vocal range, and has the ability to hit notes beyond the seventh octave


...and she didn’t die in a bathtub from an OD




...and titties.




Mariah.

Who had the better career?

One career is still going.
One career is not.

From someone who has never really paid attention to either one of their careers... I think WH, to this day, has the more overall star appeal... from an outsiders perspective..

I personally prefer her voice over MC's..

One career was destroyed by marrying an abusive drug dealing husband.

The other still makes about 2 million every Christmas off one song.


I still prefer Whitney though.

Correct. I think people here are underrating her catalogue

Whitney until Mariah came out with the Emancipation of Mimi.

Showed that she still had relevance to Top 40 pop culture 15 years after her debut. Also, she was sexy as hell, so that helped.
