That makes me laugh. I'd say Whitney Huston is up there but Mariah, give me a break. She has a good upper range and a decent voice, but if you look at her catalogue she doesn't have very many good songs. If you want to talk about the style of pop music that Mariah sings then Christina Aguilera is by far superior.

You seriously don't think Elton John is in the same league? That's laughable too. That man has been entertaining people since 61 and was releasing three albums a year in the 70's. There is a reason his song was chosen to honor the life of Princess Diana. Just because you don't like him or his music does not detract from the fact that he is both a good singer and performer.

On a side note, if you do a search for Mariah you will see that she has released only 10 albums in her 17 year career...one of which is a soundtrack to her movie and another is a christmas album. So I'm not really too sure what you are basing your opinion on. But I suppose that is the beauty of art, everyone has a different opinion and likes something different.
