^ But doesn't what you say make Mariah the more versatile, BETTER singer because of all the amazing things she can do with her voice? Critics tend to think that when Whitney (and Christina for that matter) belts out a song that it makes her a technically brilliant singer more so than someone like Mariah who uses her voice as an instrument. At Mariahs peak, her belts were stronger than Whitneys because of the emotion and color she had in those belts. Whitney may have been technically amazing, like Christina, but the range of emotion and versatility is nowhere near Mariahs was at her all-time low.
