whit vs mariah

There are some extremely big names in music bouncing out this summer. Two of the biggest are Mariah and Whitney; both have albums dropping within a week of each other.

Clive’s bread and butter, Whitney, has a more “down home” feel to her and looks a whole lot better these days, although we must remember that Mariah has been getting chopped down with black meat… consistently for the past year or so usually making for good R&B.

  • mzsweetface

    I think both diva’s will sell lots of CD’s.

    Whitney Whitney Whitney…Welcome back MAMA!

  • http://urbanfrugalchic.com Cynthia

    I love them both! Don;t make me pick one over the other!

  • Sissy

    I recommend you a nice milionaire dating site __Rich Flirts.c o m__. Whenever I chat with my friends on this site, I feel really relaxed and happy. They are easygoing and honest. I enjoy staying on the site. Hope you can find more nice rich friends there. Good luck to you.

  • Sexy&Smart

    Love them both, sincerely. Whitney has had more personal struggles in her life so I truly hope she can make a great comeback, I’ll be supporting her all the way. Mariah has a very strong faith and maybe this is what attracts success into her life, so she has an advantage in that respect. But I hope both Divas stay on top forever.

  • Theory of Truth

    Im rooting for BOTH :) but I think Mariahs album will be a better match for where I am in my life.

  • john hope franklin

    whitney is now officially an old school artist…which is why im rolling with her….mariah cant hold whits’ bra set

    Vocally Whitney will always been the QUEEN with the most beautiful voice ever. Is her voice the same today? No. Mariah is known for hitting ear splitting high notes. If you consider that singing then more power to you. Whitney’s voice has so much range and power, she can sing softly and sound like an angel and she can sing hard and angry and still be soulful. I always felt that Mariah tries too hard in everything she does. If she’d just be herself she’d be just fine.

    It’s not fair to compare the two. In my book Whitney will always be the best and the Queen. Her track record in the music industry is truly undeniable. They both have had their high ups and low downs but whats key to me is that they both have overcome those obstacles. That’s beautiful.

    Whitney, hands down. mariah only appeals to chickenheads now, and her “music” isn’t even music anymore, just leftover hip hop tracks with her breathing on the mic instead of singing. Whitney has class and elegance behind her, mariah’s just another hip hop chick now. mariah lost her Diva status years ago. then again, she never really had it.

  • Hannibal

    MARIAH WILL ALWAYS WIN BECAUSE SHE HAS THE WHITE AUDIENCE!

  • Rock Witchu

    mariah’s last album flopped, so even white people are tired of her now. whitney’s gonna come back hard.

  • gina

    mariah’s gonna flop. guaranteed. i say whitney for sure.

  • singer

    I wish them both success….but I’m checking for Nippy

  • allen

    Whitney’s the winner. mariah’s record company buys her sales for her since day 1, so she doesn’t even count.

  • jj

    Whitney, of course! what the hell is a mariah?

  • http://bossip mybaad>> im too concerned about who’s fuking who!!!

    WHITNEY.. PLZ DONT have a song featuring lil weezy.. LMAO!!!!!

  • medievalpoetry

    I love Mariah, she’s still got it. It’s going to be hard to forget Whitney’s crack days…

  • Aunt Viv

    I think they’re both past their prime. I wish them well though.

  • Lioness.JahBless..Mek no man Test!

    Ha! Whitney, no question!
    Mariah thinks she’s 12 y.o.!
    What kind of quality music is she going to put out?!! Especially w/the King of Nickelodean behind her!??! Please!
    Sorry for those who didn’t get a childhood but I seriously doubt you’d want to trade in the royalties/attention for ‘that’ and a normal life! Grow the fuk up already!

  • !!!!!R.I.P M.J!!!!!

    BOTH COOL BUT I RATHER HEAR WHITNEY ALBUM ITS BEEN AWHILE SINCE SHE DROPPED SOMETHIN AND IM NOT FEELIN MARIAH NEW SONG OBSESSED SO FOR NOW I WANNA HEAR WHITNEY MORE THEN MARIAH.

  • the_one

    Hannibal you must be young because you actually tried to place Mariah over Whitney. Back in the day Marian Vision of Love Mariah maybe, but this wack J.D. Mariah, whispering instead of using her full voice is nothing but a step up from Brittany Spears with a Jessica Simpson tone. Yeah I said it. Whitney if her voice is back will take my money.

  • COME ON

    I say both.

  • COME ON

    @ medivalpoetry

    Who is asking you to forget whitney bad days?

  • oest

    Dear Whitney Houston and Vanessa L. Williams:

    That’s right! You show these immature grown, strumpet, poor examples for women how to present yourself as a mature, classy, adult grown woman – a true role model!

    Mariah Carey needs to act her age. She has that “Neverland/Pixie Dust” mentality.

    Girl, get real!

  • Hannibal

    @the_one

    UMM OKAY. WHITNEY HAS A GREAT VOICE, THAT’S ABOUT IT! COMPARE HER RESUME TO MARIAH’S AND YOU WILL SEE THAT MARIAH IS WAYYYYY BETTER.

  • tesap

    Whitney’s is more anticipated than Mariah’s I just hope that it lives up to the hype.

  • tesap

    @oest… I second that. Mariah’s dam near 50 still shopping at Hello Cutie.

  • KayGee

    Even in her heyday – Whitney’s music was “old fashioned”, butMariah’s voice during live performance has never ever moved me like Whitney’s (thus the only CD I own of hers is the EOM)…

    I will get Whitney’s CD because I want to support her comeback, but as far as what the “general population” will probably be flocking to buy – I will say it’s Mariah.

  • princedonte

    both are the most talented women in music i wish them the best of luck we need real singers on the radio i hope there songs will be played instead of the garbage i hear on a daily basis

  • James Blake

    No question, Whitney will win! Everyone is sick of this stripper/whisperer named Mariah. Put some clothes on, gurl!vomit

  • Maria

    Whitney is going to win this show down! Everyone has been waiting for her return. Mariah’s last cd was awful and “Obsessed” was a horrible single. She needs to go back to singing real MUSIC again!

    I’m looking forward to Whitney. Hearing “Obsessed” makes me want to skip this Mariah cd.

  • http://www.k.com noelle

    Mariah looks like a desperate housewife

  • Return of the Dark and Lovely

    Both of the divas lost their beautiful voice due to too much partying. However, I think Mariah has a better management team and more support from her record label. As a reult, Mariah’s new cd will probably get more promotion and will have more sales than Whitney. But I think Whitney will receive more critical praise.
    Btw, I love the single “Obsessed” and I think the lyrics are hysterical. I am glad she stood up to superhater, Eminem. Also, I am glad Mariah has accepted that she is black and married a black man. Black Love still exist.

  • LISA

    loving mariah carey always have. whitneys’s single is HORRIBLE she sounds a mess

  • LISA

    AGAIN, WHITNEY SOUNDS HORRIBLE ON HER NEW SINGLE

  • JERRY

    whitney houston is washed up and she should just bow down gracefully but releasing these horribly sung songs is just sad

  • lilb

    mariah carey’s cd will probably outsell whitney’s. not to say that she will have better music but her fans are the one’s that are more likely to go out and purchase cd’s. mariah carey sings like janet or ciara when she has a much higher vocal range. and it just doesn’t sound good. that would be like janet or ciara trying to hit high notes like she can would not sound to good.

  • kim

    Whitney is going to win this one easily. America loves a come back story and she has been to hell and back. Mariah just pushed her cd back to sept 15 to after Whitney’s released date. Why do you thinkt hat is? You can’t stop the buzz! Whit’s voice sounds alot better that it did in 2008 and 2007, you can tell that she has been working on it.

    I’ll start to check for Mariah again when she start to put out music that doesnt appeal to middleschoolers anymore.

  • Jazlene

    Let’s be serious now…Mariah is a BIG JOKE in the music industry right now- for someone to make timeless YET MEANINGFUL music like hero & vision of love who 18 years results to singing cheap forgettable garbage (touch my body….obsessed) RIGHT…”wise”career move HAHAHAHA. Guranteed In 1000 years from now, Whitney’s music will be played & still REMAIN the standard of Genious Artistry…The PENULTIMATE singer’s singer…not to mention..”THE VOICE”…I had alot of love for mc…in the 90s, now I just LMAO at what she has become…a 40 year old hip hop auto-tuned-Beyonce WANT-TO-BE hahaha….moreless EPIC FAIL LOL. FINALLY REAL MUSIC IS COMING BACK….Like a REAL DIVA SHOULD WITH CLASS AND REAL MUSIC…THE ONE & ONLY DIVA ORIGINALE MISS WHITNEY “THE VOICE” HOUSTON….THE REAL DEAL!

  • Wendy

    Mariah has already came back with a album…Was it last year?? Who knows, I didn’t buy it but Whitney actually been missing from the game for so long. Whitney will be well worth the wait. I know we have some top producers working on her album. I hope she doesn’t disappoint us…

  • http://jummm22@verizonmail.com kisses

    As usual hate on Mariah let me guess its because she is half white. Mariah is the biggest selling female artist of all time. OF ALL TIME. Passed Elvis. Whitney is a cracked out beat up chick. Her voice was amazing back in the 80s early nineties. Mariah is still amazing.

  • Please.

    Mariah is doing the smae ole same ole. But she can still make the mainstream tracks. But her voice is shot.

    Whitney was great once. Now, not so much. He voice is completely destroyed compared to it’s former glory. Mariah is breathy. Whitney talk-sings and could do IWALY justice today if she wanted to. And…she lost the white audience and they aren’t coming back.

    Both will do marginally well, but this is the Beyonce era. Adult will go for Whitney. Kids will stick with Mariah. But there is no way that Whitney can topple Mariah’s comeback from 2005 with TEOM. Whitney just isn’t that kind of artist anymore.

    Respect is all she has left.

  • Not so

    “Mariah just pushed her cd back to sept 15 to after Whitney’s released date. Why do you thinkt hat is?”

    Very simple. Now, they will both be going head to head for the 2011 grammy nominations. When Mariah was releasing Aug 25th, she would have just made the noms for the 2010 grammys. By moving her album date back, she is setting the tone for a face off and pretty much stating that she isn’t scared to go head to head.

    There’s a reason that both women are still here.

  • Qtee64

    I am going to buy both CD’s because I love both ladies. Both have faced problems in the past; Mariah suffered a breakdown and bounced back. Whitney had her drug/husband problems and will bounce back as well. Who are we to judge because we all have probems–some worse than others. It is a matter of opinion and preference as to which album will be the best. Neither ladies’ voice is the same since the beginning, but they are still talented and noteworthy. I refuse to disrespect one over the other. Hopefully, both CD’s will do well and both ladies’ fans will be happy and respectful.

  • Diddy.Alexander

    MARIAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  • zaher

    gimme a break! no doubt whitney houston will take the music industry by storm when she makes her comeback. we’re talking abt voice abt lyrics and true music here

  • Angel

    Whitney is the best hands down…

  • asimon

    WHITNEY WILL WIN… GO TO AMAZON.COM AND LOOK AT THERE SALES RANK FOR THE NEW ALBUMS TO BE PREE ORDERD WHITNEYS BEN ON TOP FOR THE LONGEST

  • J-Man

    Okay in reading some of these comments it’s clear that the younger generation are pulling for Mariah. Granted, when she actually tries to make “music” she can, Mariah will not stand a chance. If you take the time to listen to Whitney’s music with a subjective ear as opposed to an objective ear you’ll learn that she is still amazing. Whitney’s voice has always been soulful and meaningful. Mariah’s music normally depends on the beat to carry it (hence the reason I’ve purchased any of her music since “Music box.” It’s sad to say that the younger generation does not appreciate good quality music. I guess when the time comes we’ll all know.

  • Real Talk

    Never been a fan of Mariah, she just do not have the pipes imho. Whitney on the other hand did have the pipes. She was America’s sweetheart back in the day. Mariah would not even talk against Whitney back then because she knew what would happen. I just hope Whitney is back. Even on her worse day she is better than the hoarse, whispering, can’t pull it together off the cuff Mariah. Mariah has and never will be my cup of tea. Heard of free style? Moriah cannot free sing at a moments notice. There is always some excuse.

  • Real Talk

    AND, all that hand moving Mariah does when she sings is nothing but a farce of insecurity at actually being able to sing. A few curly q’s do not make you a singer. Sometimes I believe she moves her hand to make her notes change by physical movement because she can’t move notes from her stomach.

  • LOVLIA

    I’m rooting for Whitney. I like Mariah, but Whitney has soul. Her voice can stir emotions in you that you forgot existed. I’ve always said Whitney’s voice was kissed by God. Also, I keep reading here that there’s a single out by Whitney, no there isn’t. Nothing has been released and she just had a listening party last night. If you like Mariah that’s your choice, I’ll take Whitney first and Mariah second every day of the week.

  • http://jummm22@verizonmail.com kisses

    Clive Owen knows Mariah is better 2006 grammys Clive was the first one on his feet when Mariah sang We belong together and Fly like a bird she KILLED IT!!!! he was in tears clapping. Utube it

  • KimmieBear

    Forget about them leaks you heard from Whitney’s cd! I was at the listening party and just wait until you hear “Million Dollar Bill”! That is some CRAAAZY $h!T! Whitney is gonna be bangin’, this is a dance/r&b album. It’s a better song than “Obsessed” so Mariah needs to take it up a notch.

  • JThrilla

    I think people have slept on how big Whitney Houston really is! Because she has been gone so long people forgot her impact. They are about to be reminded!

    Mariah has sold more albums than Whitney because she has RELEASED more, lol. Whitney’s individual albums sell more than Mariah’s on AVERAGE. And Whitney opened a lot of doors for Mariah to walk through, Mariah said so herself. So give Whitney some respect.

    Mariah will do just fine. She always has and always will. Neither of these two ladies have anything to worry about.

  • John

    The Album covers say it all. Class vs. trash. Whitney Houston is a legend period. There is no debating her impact on the music industry as someone who blazed the trail for the likes of a Mariah. Mariah on the other hand covers up her vocal and performance shortcomings by removing more and more clothes. Her MJ performance was indicative of all of last years EMC2 live performances without lipsynching. She just fails to deliver. Mark my words if this Mariah’s album fails she is headed for another breakdown.

  • 2hot

    THERE BOTH OLD AS DIRT I’LL BY BOTH…BOOTLEGG OF COURSE.

  • Lorenzo Davis

    Whitney is undoubtedly “The Voice” of all times, inspite of her indiscrepencies in life; she is human, and we all have issues. However, it doesn’t excuse the fact that she has a more soulful voice that captures the essence of any song that she sings. I love Mariah Carey and she is a WONDERFUL artist. But even she knows that she can’t hold a candle to Whitney. Whitney’s accalaids speaks volumes about her talent. And although Mariah has sold more albums than Whitney, Whitney hasn’t made an album in 7 years and is still the most awarded female artist of all time, which says alot about her as an artist. So let’s face it, Whitney is “it,” and will always be “it,” And if you don’t know, you betta ask somebody!

  • HighHeelCrazy

    I’m going to say both. Sit down B and take note. I always wonder why Mariah never told B hey may be you can take some singing lesson from me (Mariah).

  • jackyherer

    WHITNEY, of course

    mariah is not in her league. she lost her diva status

    whitney still got it!

  • Dzenni

    Whitney ofcourse!!! no doubt about it!!
    Mariah is soooo out!!
    nothing but love!!!

  • mc_mimi

    I prefer Mariah to Whitney! Whitney voice isnt what it used to be! Which is a shame! If u listen to both lead singles from the albums Mariah’s single has the better vocals in it and Whitney single is just ….well boring!
    But Whitney fans are going to be happy she is back and Mariah fans are loyal and will buy her music no matter what!
    But i personal think that they will both sell millions! Glad to have two of the best vocals in the world back!

  • MKL

    Hannibal,

    Can you please explain to me why you have Michelle Obama looking like an ape?

  • agustinus panurian

    Whitney is a legend … Mariah is a following legend … all sings great just to eat and live … so i love them all becoz both do good job to make money… that’s very human … Love u all

  • gravity

    mariah, though as great if not even greater, stands little chance to win over whitney this time cause this is whitney’s LONG awaited comeback.
    Both are divas, it all comes down to personal preference to say who’s better and who’s not.
    For me i will say mariah.

  • Pharaoho

    Duyh Whitney is better. Mariah only beats Whitney in range. But Whitney beats her with interpretation, vocal control, phrasing, and she clearly has the stronger voice. MNariah’s voice is thin and scrachy, she’s always whispering like she’s afraid to sing stong notes anymore.
