The Bodyguard soundtrack. Mariah has nothing in her catalog on that level.

Technically however that's not even a Whitney album lol she did have some nice songs on it ("Queen of the Night" was her best attempt at dance-rock for example lol).

I have never heard of the phrase what it all 'balls down to.' I don't even know what that means. There is 'down to the balls,' but I don't think the poster meant that...

Ive notice that alot of people are bringing other things in the W vs. M arguement that is irrelevant. Regardless if Whitney never wrote a song in her life unlike Carey and all these other I'm sure facts they both have great VOCALS. I never buy into the Diva image bit because to be honest The ONLY Divas that reign Supreme is Aretha and Tina.

This isn't about irrelevance. I'm asking about who had the better MUSIC!

OKAY. WHITNEY aka NIPPY or whatever ya'll like to call her.

"All The Man I Need" kicks any and everything Mariah ever recorded into the dumpster with the rest of the trash. In Whitney's prime and in Mariah's prime, vocally Whitney smashed her. Today, sure, Mariah could probably (yes, I said probably...Mariah would clown herself trying to sing anything she recorded pre-1993) outsing her...but one thing Whitney STILL has over Mariah in spades to this day is stage presence. Even in the shittiest vocal state, Whitney can rouse a crowd and own the stage. When Mariah performs, it's like watching an ameutur try on Star Search. She almost always looks silly.

I could not have put it any better, myself. While both had a gift, I think Mariah used the fact she could sing at a higher range, as a gimmick. In almost all of her early records, she used those notes, constantly, to the point where it was like, enough all ready. Although Whitney, could be found guilty of over singing, She seemed a more disciplined singing, in the beginning.

I like Mariah but honestly,I only own one song by her: "Fly Like A Bird",which I bought from iTunes.She's an amazing singer but I don't like much of her material.She rides the hip-hop bandwagon a little too often for my tastes.

I love Whitney's first two albums and her contributions to the 'Bodyguard' soundtrack.Vainandy's gonna take away my "cool card",lol.

I like Mariah's music better, but for me, it's not even a contest. Whitney imo blows Mariah away vocally.

Sure Mariah is a wonderful singer and can hit those dog whistle notes, but Whitney is a much more powerful singer if you ask me. Mariah tends to sound whiney when she hits her upper register whereas with Whitney, her voice never falters. When she was at her peak, she could not be topped.

Whitney's voice had such strength and clarity. She hit those high notes SO EFFORTLESSLY, which is more than I can say for the likes of Mariah and Christina Aguilera who sound like they're really forcing to hit those high notes.

Whitney is my all time favorite female vocalist. At her peak, she was just incredible. Amazing tone, range, power and perfect diction.

I still get goosebumps whenever I listen to some of her old records. What a gifted singer.

"And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ heart

"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always heart
