Opinion on Mariah Carey?
-
Mariah to this day still has the longest running #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with Boyz II Men, "One Sweet Day." 16 weeks! Until that incredible feat is knocked down, she shall remain Queen. Even after the record is knocked down, she'll still down in history for said record, something a lot of other artists don't have.
Beyond that, she is a diva and it has hurt her many times. I'm sure we all remember her feud with Whitney Houston that cost her dearly. One year she sat out in the Grammy audience and didn't receive a single award, partly due to her shading Whitney. Glad she made up with Whitney in '99 and did that song with her because they were ready to shut Mariah out forever over that mess lol.

A legend and an icon!
The greatest vocalist of all time and you'll have to DEAL.

Perhaps you've not heard Mariah in her prime.
Then again there are people who like to judge people on how they dress, prefer to see insecurities as self obsessession and try and repudiate other people's talents for no reason but to be bitchy for the sake of it or be the dissenting voice… maybe that's you though I'd hope not.
IMO a genius singer and songwriter with vocal chops and musicianship to die for.
She also has a good track record as far as philanthropic efforts are concerned so I think how you view her probably comes down to either misinformation or simply seeing things with a negative bias.

Yeah, wanted to edit that post which is really bitter but for some reason I can't.
She was great in her prime, my post is mostly about her currently. She isn't as good as before and I'm not even talking about her vocals, her best songs were written with Walter Afanasieff in the 90s, the Christmas song and her first three albums.
I think she lacks musicianship now, she seems way too focused on looking hot and pretty for the audience and the lip-syncing is excessive and ridiculous at this point, clearly trying to trick people into thinking she's something she's not, it's uninspired and shallow.

Weird that I posted this months ago and her record with Boyz II Men came close to being beaten by that stupid Daddy Yankee song ::) Thanks to Taylor Swift, the record has only been tied and not beaten. God bless you, Taylor Swift!

i like how shady she is. but vocally MC all the way. i still cant get over "we belong together", "through the rain" and "Touch my body"
"I dont" is really growing on me as well. but yeah i only really like some of her songs the rest are meh to me -
;D
PMSL oh wow thats so funny.
Mariah was a phenomenal vocalist when she was young, listen to Cant Let Go and Emotions, you cant say she was shit or average at all. Her vocal ability has definitely changed over the years though sadly. Her vocals are now all over place these days and she cant do what she once could.

Most of her recent material… meh. Still, as we're heading deep into the holiday season, I will say that I enjoy All I Want for Christmas every year..
Curious about how much that ONE song makes Ms. Carey?
