However, the power of my notes is poor, although I can hold them. In a sound studio or with sound equipment then it would be fine. But you can't compare that to pure, raw voice as found in the opera. Mariah and Christina wouldn't be able to sing most of their range over an ochestra without sound equipment. Check out Joan Sutherland for "the voice of the century".

I was blown away by jennifer hudson`s 'And I am Telling you' ... who is fantasia ?? .. i like Whitney and Aretha .. and i adore celine dion but my favourite is still Mimi, you all have your own opinions, but when it comes to chest belting they are better than her, although none of them can beat her with the rest of the registers. Mariah has strength and control in her voice: definetly better than Minnie when it comes to the whistle register.I believe that maria`s voice hss downgraded but she did hit those notes. Im not a music expert but Im trying to make a point that each one of these singers have gifts that shouldnt be argued about, because they are all unique :)) I am a big beyonce fan… I was blown away by jennifer hudson`s ‘And I am Telling you’ … who is fantasia ?? .. i like Whitney and Aretha .. and i adore celine dion but my favourite is still Mimi, you all have your own opinions, but when it comes to chest belting they are better than her, although none of them can beat her with the rest of the registers.

They all have stronger better sounding voices. Just because you have a wide range doesn't mean you can sing great. Whitney influenced Mariah not the other way around. Fantasia is more souful sounding than mariah and her hoarse dried up vocal chords. Mariah's easy to imitate except for when she squeals. Beyonce's voice is definetely musch more stronger than Mariah's voice. Mariah's performances ain't lookin to good. Whitney will emberass Mariah on stage. Beyonce is not the one who screams Mariah is. Mariah does have a beautiful voice but it definitely is not the best. Whitney, Jennifer, Aretha, fantasia and Beyonce can sing circles around her. Whitney houston had a drug problem and still sounds better. I tell the truth and nothin but it.
