Mariah’s Musical Crime: Overblown, Roller-Coaster Vocals
G. Brown of the Denver Post weighed in on Mariah Carey and what he considers her musical crime: “She is a technical virtuoso, but her NutraSweet style of soul – sugary and artificial songs, crammed with hundreds of gratuitous notes – imparts nothing but self-interest.” Denver blues and soul singer Hazel Miller seems to agree. “I’m opinionated because I’m old,” Miller said with a laugh. “Mariah Carey does not make you feel that she believes in what she’s singing. So I can’t deal with it … God love her, she has an incredible gift. But to sing that mindless 4/4-beat, R&B simply to make money and never use that amazing voice God blessed her with for anything worthy of it – to me, I’m sorry, that’s a sin.”
