Ya’ll a fool with it. Whitney vocally kills Mariah. This should not even be a conversation. Whitney Houston has one of the best voices ever.

finally somebody smart… mariah is way better… whitney is a crack and anoying “diva”, and i never heard a song that whitney wrote??? and the perfomance on x factor what was that “trying to be a singer” act… mariah is a true diva that we all love, one of the most beautiful songs of all time “HERO” is from her and i think we all love that song… And the record sale tells everything… and Mariah did overcame beatles…. that must mean something…. Whitney is trying her way back up, but the tours have been so far nothing special, eve i heard they were terrible… MARIAH WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Mariah is better than Whitney because she’s a great singer, that’s what Whitney never was and will never be. Crack is whack. ;-)

mariah carey has got whitney houston beat by MILESTONES! shes the best selling female artist of ALL TIME with 18 number ones, second only to the beatles. whitneys so called career doesnt even come close to all of mariahs amazing success. nobody could ever top mariah! her vocal acrobatics and incredible range are unbeatable! and she can still sing like a bird, i just saw her in las vegas and she blew everybody away! she has put out hit after hit for twenty years! cant really say the same for whitney, can ya?

Mariah is definitely a better artist with a better range, Whitney tries too hard and is cocky, it is definitely Mariah. Whitney cannot go where Mariah can go with her voice at all. It is definitely Mariah and I always thought so, Whitney can sing Gospel but she cannot really sing pop. Hands down, Mariah is the better singer and artist.

Vocally, CHECK YOUTUBE. Obviously most of the Mariah fanatics weren’t around for Whitney’s heyday. There are countless standing ovations and performances for Whitney’s performances. Mariah’s standing ovations can be counted on one hand, provided she actually sang live at the time.

Compare them singing the “Star Spangled Banner”. Whitney is clearly the better singer. Her version of the national anthem charted on the Billboard Hot 100! Mariah’s version was forgotten within seconds.

The only thing Mariah has on Whitney is more #1 singles. Whitney has more respect in the industry, more awards, more stage presence and a better voice. Just because Mariah can speak directly to Shamu’s family does not make her a better singer.

As far as longevity, whoever said Mariah has more longevity doesn’t understand history. Whitney came out in 1985, 5 years prior to Mariah. When Mariah released Emancipation of Mimi, she was at the point in her career Whitney was when she released “My Love Is Your Love”. And Whitney just released a #1 album a month ago, lol. So Whitney is going on 25 years spanning her career and still getting #1s. Mariah is on her 19th year. Get it straight people!

Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey are actually two different style of artists, despite how people love to pit them against each other. Vocally, Whitney Houston is the superior vocalist. She has more versatility and has recorded FULL ALBUMS of Pop, R&B and Gospel. She commands the stage LIVE, something Mariah Carey struggles to do. In fact, often times Mariah doesn’t even sing live. Whitney is the better SINGER and PERFORMER.

Mariah Carey is a different kind of artist. She writes and produces her own material. Musically, Mariah Carey has a lot more to offer than Whitney Houston. That is not to say her albums are better, but she has more skill than simply SINGING.

Vocally, Whitney is better. Artistically, Mariah is probably better. Album-wise…to each their own! Sales-wise they are about equal because Mariah has released more albums. And Whitney’s latest debuted at over 300k and Mariah’s out a month later looks to debut at about 200k. Whitney is a living legend and Mariah is on her way.
